There are people who throw all their money on *sigh* Blahniks and Birkin bags. Then, there are also women (like me) who'd rather spend their hard-earned money on good skin care. I figure that even the most expensive Chanel won't look good on somebody with a crinkly neck or stubborn under eye circles, unless wearing turtle necks & spectacles become the order of the day in the tropics :) For weeks now, I've started with my daily regimen of using Creme de la Mer twice a day and am thrilled when friends greet me on my luminous skin. La Mer, as a cream, is made from ... Continue Reading...
Bag love: Crumpler Gypsy Moth
I've always appreciated Crumpler for their hardworking, utilitarian stuff. They're the label you'd most likely rely on for protecting your precious laptop from the slings & arrows of misfortune being always on the go. The secret is in their meticulous construction, use of durable materials and secure features like paddings & cushions where they're needed for utmost protection. But I have to admit Crumpler was more functional than stylish. The bags really just used to be the boxy, squarish mass that served its purpose and the choice of colors were their only claim to ...

Birkin pyramid scam shocks Manila
Peeps from KFC Philippines sent me over the weekend their new product, the Cheese Top Burger. At only 50 pesos, it was both tasty and filling. Funny because I was looking for the cheese on top of the bun, as seen in the posters. It turns out, the cheese was already baked INTO the bread. So cheap and so good. Anyway, I almost choked on my KFC Cheese Top Burger when I read the Inquirer story on the 500 million Birkin scam. Netizens and cosmopolitan Manille are abuzz with the scandal where a former flight attendant-turned-arts personality dupes high society into ... Continue Reading...
Study shows dishwashing bar has highest level of contaminants
Nay gising! It's time to ditch that bar solution (soap + sponge + water) that we're fond of using for washing dishes and the like. As a mother, I have to admit that am guilty of this myself in an effort to enforce a budget in our household. It turns out that the often-used bar solution is the dirtiest item in the house. It has ten times more contaminants than a dirty sock, trash bin cover or toilet bowl. Shocking revelation but true! The facts are confirmed by no less than the Philippine Society of Microbiology. Says PSM President, Dr. Supachai Basit: " A ... Continue Reading...
Uniqlo MOA opening day
UNIQLO.... who among the fashion-crazy doesn't know Uniqlo right? This is one label I passed by while shopping (or window-shopping) in HK, Shanghai & Kuala Lumpur. But for some reason, I decided to check out the June 15 opening (that's yesterday) of the Japanese fashion label at the Mall of Asia. I had to back out. The lines were crazy. I also saw some muscular guys, obviously security. I thought they were there to escort Kris Aquino. But of course am wrong :) I made a 180-degree turn and I saw this spectacle. I never saw so many kibitzers (waiting for ... Continue Reading...
