[Food Review] Everyday Tous Les Jours

My addiction with Tous les Jours started when my cousin brought home a whole load of breads from the said bakery. She recommended that their products are of high quality, while handing me their bestseller aptly called as "Sweet Black Rice Bread with Cream Cheese". Upon taking my first bite, I couldn't stop eating it up until the last piece. With that inspiration, I decided to go visit one of their stores for a closer look.  I went to their branch in SM North. The store is located in The Block near SM Hypermarket. Saturated with yellow lights and wooden furniture, Tous Les Jours had the french bakery/coffee shop aura.

Following my cousin's recommendation, I bought the one with cream cheese filling. However, I had a dilemma which one to choose as it has two variants. The one with black sesame? or plain

SkinWhite and Nuffnang Bring You Snow White and the Huntsman

Snow White and the Huntsman is coming! This reminds me of my childhood days. Snow White has been one of my classic fairy tale favorites. When I was a kid, her love story is the one that I have desired, calling my special someone as "Prince Charming". I guess all girls can relate with that. But reality bites as we grow and let go of our fairy tale fantasies.  However, even if we can't be Snow White, we can come close to having her beautiful bluish white skin that our real-life Prince Charming can never resist!  Thanks to SkinWhite, every girl can achieve skin as beautiful as Snow White's. SkinWhite works magically as it has SYNCHROWHITE ACTION that works in FOUR ways all at the same time:  First, it WHITENS the skin surface. Second, it REDUCES formation of new dark pigments at its source. Third, it NOURISHES skin with Vitamins. And lastly, it PROTECTS skin against toxins and UV rays.

BDJ Tells Us to Dare. Believe. Become.

I was thankful to have another bonding moment with my fellow Belle de Jour Girls last Saturday, May 19, 2012 at Ace Water Spa, Pasig. The event was very enjoyable as various booths were present from the sponsors. Not only that, it was topped off my talks and workshops regarding fashion, career, and self-confidence by experts. Most of all, it was nice to see new and familiar faces in the Belle de Jour community. BDJ Rendezvous 2012: Dare. Believe. Become. Just as it is seen at the entrance.  We were encouraged to explore the various booths before the talks started. There were CarbTrim , Athena , Flipsters, and Purebeauty kiosks.  The CarbTrim booth was about free sampling and video testimonials. Bellas try out Athena in Milk and Chocolate Flavor. The event was kicked off by our lovely host, Jasmine Mendiola.  Of course, any BDJ Rendezvous won't be complete without games and PREZZIES! (^_^) This is also a great way for Bellas to bond together and have a health

[Food Review] Mochi Poochi

Who among you here loves mochi balls? Raise your hands up! ^_^ Me! I'm so in love with mochi balls. It is a staple topping in my yogurt cup. I have never imagined it to go with ice cream so well. Yup, the creative people behind Mochi Poochi concocted a very unique innovation. And it's not mochi ball topping on ice cream. But rather ice cream inside a mochi! Yum! My Bubblegum Mochi Poochi in plastic packaging. I recently visited their kiosk in Glorietta and I saw a lot of people on queue for it. I immediately fell in love with their mochi ice cream. ^_^ At first, I bought the mango flavored, aptly named as Mangosama. Yup, their ice cream names are Japanese inspired. So cute, right? ^_^ On my next visit, I tried the bubblegum flavor, simply named as Mochi Poochi. It was wrapped in plastic and you need to hold it in your hands for a few minutes until it is soft enough to be eaten.  And the flavor? Creamy ice cream and mochi (sorry I don't know what the white mochi
