The Things I Do for Love

When my fourth package from Sample Room arrived, Cure was the product that I used right away. Of course, I took a few snap shots first. LOL ! I knew of Cure for a long time and how it has been recommended by popular cosplayers for skin care! Now that it's available here in the country, I got so excited to try it out!  Sample Room gave out five sachets of Cure. A sachet is good for one time use.  Cure samples. 25 SR points. It's my first time to use a gel-based exfoliator, so I didn't know how to apply Cure on my skin. Good thing the samples came with an instruction leaflet! The directions at the back of the sachets are written in Japanese.  The instruction leaflet How to use Cure:  1. Wash your face then towel dry very well . 2. Pump a dab of gel on your fingertips. 3. Apply on your face and massage in a circular motion for 30 seconds to 1 minute to remove your dead skin. 4. Rinse face with water then follow with your daily skin care routine. 

I didn't really expect to hear myself say, "I don't have time" .  It is what grown ups say, those people who have given up life's little happiness for money. Maybe I have become a grown up... because I am not happy.  But what is time? Isn't it a bunch of numbers on a circular frame?  A bunch on numbers on a frame. Photo source . Time doesn't exist... it's just man who tried to measure the things around him. Time is but a matter of perspective. It is a product of man's efforts to put everything in order: wake up at 6, eat lunch at 12, sleep at 8.  In this crazy world, people are all about money. Time is money.  I wonder who came up with that crap! Time is not money!  Money is about you waiting for the perfect time and striking at the opportunity! It is not rushing. It is not striking carelessly.  Ah~ But the world likes to be fast and be competitive. Important things like love and compassion are forgotten. Friends, family, everyone becom

Look at what arrived in the mail! Another round of samples from Sample Room . I chose two products: Cure Natural Aqua Gel and Gluta-C Intense Face and Body Whitening Soap . I'm so happy to get to try these out! Gluta-C soap and Cure for my 4th Sample Room haul. I decided to get the Gluta-C Intensive Whitening Soap because I ran out of SR points in my  last haul ... and I wanted to complete my Gluta-C line-up. With this, I plan to use it together with the scrub and lotion. Sample Room offered the full size of 135g for this sample.  Gluta-C Intense Whitening Face and Body Soap (45 SR points) I first heard about Cure from popular cosplayer  Kaika when she posted a video about skin care.  She mentioned Cure as her exfoliator. So I got curious about it. I have heard raves about this product and the wonders it does to the skin! Now here is my turn to be amazed! Sample Room gave out five sachets of Cure.  Cure Natural Aqua Gel (25 SR points) It is still all about ski

I always moisturize my face but I rarely do so on my body. The fact that I don't have much time is the culprit. However, after getting my Gluta-C haul from Sample Room , I was obliged to apply the body scrub and the lotion everyday for the experience. Five days later, I saw improvements on my skin and I realize I was missing a lot on body care. I got this Gluta-C Body Lotion from Sample Room Gluta-C Intense Whitening Lotion is a good product! According to the label, it contains Glutathione and Vitamin C for whitening, Shea Butter for moisturization, and SPF 25 for sun protection.  Gluta-C Body Lotion back label The consistency of the lotion is white viscous cream. It smells like that sweet orange candy from my childhood! I love the scent! Upon application, this one glides well and it is non-greasy. My skin felt soft and smooth instantly! I love this product even more because it was able to correct one of my skin's major blemishes.  Pimples or small rashes (d

Gluta-C Intense Whitening Body Scrub is a product that impressed me on my first try. Mostly, when I review beauty products, I use it at least a week to see the effects and results on my skin. I never thought that a body scrub can make me go "wow!" instantly! I got this from my Gluta-C Sample Room haul . And I used it the day after I got it. I was that excited!  This product is packaged in a tub. It is a soft, viscous, and grainy cream. The smell is nice, too! It has a cool perfume scent.  120g tub of Gluta-C Body Scrub This is how I used this: I wet my skin and then took an ample amount of the scrub and then applied it using circular motions. Afterwards, I put liquid body wash on a loofah then rubbed on my skin. I could feel the small grains from the scrub gently exfoliating my skin. I love the combination it does with the body wash. The bubbles and the foam make it comfortable! All the while, I know that my skin is thoroughly cleansed!  Here is the surprise!

Since I am missing my favorite Berry Bitten smoothie, I opted to try out those with "berries" on their names. Hopefully, one of them might come close to that flavor I always crave. When I attended the soft opening of the Jamba Juice EDSA Shang branch, I finally had my share to try Banana Berry, upon the suggestion of an ambassador!  My first sip of it was... wow! This one is almost like Berry Bitten! But I was so busy during the event that I wasn't able to experience it well. So I went back a week later to savor Banana Berry the way a food blogger should! I read the short recipe written on the menu board. The ingredients are bananas, blueberries, apple-strawberry juice, nonfat yogurt, and raspberry sherbet. And let me say this again, the taste is close to Berry Bitten.  Banana Berry smoothie from Jamba Juice Banana Berry has a strong berry flavor, but it is less sour and seedy compared to Berry Bitten. With every sip hits the taste of blueberries and a hint

Watching movies is my form of relaxation after a week of hard work.But I don't want just any movie. I'm picky when it comes to the kind of films that I watch. It should be informative, analytical, fun, engrossing, and entertaining at the same time. Popularity of the actors also helps but I'm more on the plot side. So... what if I star in my very own movie? Would it be the kind that I would like to watch? Hmmm... Let's see now. In that reel world, I would be a treasure hunter, like my favorite character Tomb Raider Lara Croft! Just like her, I would use guns and high tech gadgets!  Lara Croft However, just to keep things different from her, my weapon of choice would be a katana (ninja long sword). With that, my expertise would be in ninja moves and crafts. In short, I would be a ninja tomb raider! But my character is not at all perfect. I would be the best in thinking and deducing information and fighting with intellect and words. But my weakness would be fighti

Because of my love for face masks , I decided to try out different varieties of it. There are a lot to choose from: we have the traditional facial mask, mud packs, peeling masks, and more!    I saw this sachet of iWhite Korea Whitening Pack when I passed by a department store. After a moment of looking and examining it, I decided to give it a try. What made me? Its cheap price of PhP22.00 per sachet. Its lesser compared to facial masks which costs around PhP50.00 - PhP60.00. This product is a peel-off mask. The kind that hardens on your face and then you peel if off. H onestly, it was my first time to use such a version of mask that I didn't know what to expect or how to use it. So I read the instructions at the back of the sachet.  It just said to apply the sticky white liquid on your face, and make sure to avoid the eyes, nose, and mouth areas. I did exactly that, but I put some on my nose as well. I also avoided the eyebrows area. On applying, I tapped the li

My third set of samples include products from Gluta-C ! Sample Room offered full-sized bottles for this! Yay! So I happily used my SR points to get them! The package was cute and I felt giddy upon opening it! It was like getting a surprise... though I already know what's inside! Hihihi~ My Gluta-C samples from Sample Room. It is my first time to order Body Care samples. My previous hauls were mostly on facial care and fragrance . This time around, the products that I chose were the Body Scrub and Body Lotion. I was arguing with myself whether I should get the soap, too. But I ran out of points! So I got these two instead. Gluta-C Body Scrub (40 SR points) Gluta-C Body Lotion (45 SR Points) I will start right away in using these samples! Glutathione, I know, is effective when taken internally in capsule form. But will it be just as effective when applied topically on the skin? Let's find out, shall we?
