Shine Bright Like A Diamond

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. All I know is that they last forever. Being a girl with simple dreams and aspirations, I don't think it is my best friend though. I would be a hypocrite if I say I don't want one. Of course I do, maybe I'll buy one for myself one of these days or someone with good and pure intentions will put a ring on my finger. If ever I'll get one someday, I would probably get me a vintage one or a vintage-looking one.  I like everything vintage and I've bookmarked some that I have seen on Pinterest and online. 

I like diamonds because they are very representative of life. A diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure. Just like a diamond, it can’t be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials. And lastly, even the most beautiful diamonds have flaws too.

A Perfect Beach Look for Your Resort Vacation

Summer is almost here and you’re probably already really looking forward to the resort vacation you have booked. Now is the perfect time to plan what you’re going to wear but also how you’re going to take care of your skin and hair while you’re spending your vacation on the beach. Looking good, but most importantly feeling good will definitely help you enjoy your holiday to the fullest so make sure you take care of yourself even while you’re sipping cocktails on the beach. 



Take care of your skin  Number one thing on your list when you start packing for your vacation should be sunscreen. You want to enjoy your holiday as much as possible and getting sunburned will definitely ruin your vacation so make sure you put on sunscreen with a high SPF religiously unless you want to spend a part of your vacation red and then the other with your skin peeling. Also make sure you bring good moisturizing creams for your face and body so your skin doesn’t get dry and flaky. Another important thing to remember when going on a vacation is getting plenty of liquid. Make sure you drink plenty of water because keeping hydrated will keep you healthy and your skin and hair looking good. 

Zaful.com Haul # 5 + Review

Ola chicas! How's your week so far? As for me, it's still and as always, toxic week at work. So just like always, work has been very demanding, nothing new about that, thus my go-to de-stressing activity is some retail therapy and food trips. These two are past-time, well besides blogging and other stuff. Anyhoo, today I’m sharing with you my latest and fifth Zaful mini-haul. I chose some random clothing pieces this time. Solely basing on what I haven’t purchased that are saved in my wish list cart. Btw, this is another collab post with Zaful but rest assured I will give my most honest feedback and review.

The shipping took around a month and as always slowed down once it reached the Philippines. We have an archaic postal system still so it took like more than 2 weeks before I received the package. I like that the items was placed in individual zip lock plastics bearing the Zaful logo, pretty neat if you ask me.

Singlish Cafe: Singaporean Hawkers

I haven't been to Singapore but it's on my travel bucket list. Going on a holiday to Singapore I heard is quite expensive since it is one of the Asian countries that is first world and has a thriving economy and tourism. But if ever I'll go there, I would likely to spend my hard-earned money on food especially at their hawker centers.

Singapore's cuisine is very diverse because of the many influences it has. Malay, Chinese, Indian and British fares compose the Singaporean palate. Good thing that is for now I can still enjoy this well-versed cuisine without having to ride an airline. There are a couple of restaurants in the metro that serves Singaporean hawker food like Singlish.

Home-made cleaning solutions Regular cleaning products contain high levels of chemicals and toxins that can cause health problems, ranging from dizziness and eye irritation, to more serious issues like respiratory irritation and even cancer.

A simple way to solve this serious problem is making your own cleaning solutions. There’s a range of DIY methods that you can follow, many of which are based on the use of baking soda, white vinegar and hot water.

Causeway Seafood Restaurant: Authentic Cantonese Cuisine

I have always loved Chinese food and I don’t consider it really as an international cuisine at all. Chinese food is one of my comfort food. If you’re not from Asia, you might not know this, but China even before the Philippines was colonized by Western countries, already had a great influence to my country, The Philippines. From culture, to race/ancestry, to tradition and of course, to food. So never be surprised if we have Filipino dishes that are almost similar or contain a greatly-influenced Chinese taste. Heck, we even have the oldest China town in the world (well except for the ones in China of course! Duh!)

Although we have a lot of Filipinized Chinese dishes, sometimes I still crave for the authentic ones. But it’s not every day that I can go to Chinatown and enjoy eating close-to-authentic Chinese food. So where can I get a quick fix? One of the well-known place where there are a couple Chinese restaurants that Pinoys can go to is Banawe in Quezon City and one of these restaurants is Causeway Seafood Restaurant.

Gamiss.com Haul #2 + Review

Summer! My favorite season of the year and though the temperature is high off the roof, I would never trade it for anything else. Good thing that I live in a tropical country where most, if not all, of the time the weather is always sunny and great. Thus, buying swimwear doesn't have to only happen during the summer season. Because on any given time, a spontaneous beach trip or pool swimming might just happen. 

I already have a handful of swimsuits, but just like shoes or bags, a girl can have too many of it. It's allowed, really. I buy swimsuits on a regular basis, like every couple of months or so even if I don't have any planned beach trips ahead. If I like something so bad, it goes straight to my shopping cart. I may not always have a swimsuit ready body, but just like Ariel says: "But who cares? No big deal... I want more..."
