Yummy Tea-Based Drinks and IG-Worthy Space at TANTEA Tomas Morato

I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people who celebrates his/her birthday low key and sometimes almost never. Although my birthday falls on a day after a payday (in the Philippines) I can’t remember having any kind of grand celebration. This went on up to my adulthood. But when I started earning money, I started to celebrate my birthday on travels. Although these past few trips that I made haven’t fallen on my exact birthday. I’ll probably do that next year or the next. 

This year, due to the pandemic, I can’t make any travel plans at all, even if I wanted to.  Unbeknownst to two of my friends, I asked them to go out with me on my birthday this year. I just really want to go out of my apartment which I leave every 2-3 weeks. I was going to keep it hush hush and just wanted to spend time with my friends whom I haven’t seen in person for months, but the secret was outed on one of the bloggers group Facebook page that I belong to, LOL! So that was that. 

Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Beauty Lovers

Christmas is almost around the corner, and if you can’t wait for the festive season to finally arrive – welcome to the club, you aren’t the only one here! Of course, this season brings a lot of beautiful things, as well as slightly stressful ones – shopping for Christmas gifts. So, to avoid potentially stressful situations, why don’t you start planning your gifts right away? Here’s a list of the four best Christmas gifts for all the beauty lovers out there, so keep on reading, check it out, and enjoy!

A cool set of sheet masksIf your favorite lady is a huge skincare lover, we highly suggest getting her a cool set of sheet masks. In case you didn’t know, a sheet mask is a revolutionary skincare product typical of the Korean beauty routine. Basically, these are cotton-based sheets infused with different essences or serums that address various skin issues. They significantly differ from traditional face masks because the sheet creates a seal on your skin and prevents the mask’s ingredients from evaporating. So, if this sounds amazing, be sure to get your mom, sister, or girlfriend a fabulous set of several sheet masks. You can either create a set on your own or buy one from brands such as Dr. Jart and Sephora. Possibilities are truly infinite with this one!

Satisfying my Chinese food cravings with Yang Chow Circulo Verde

When the lockdown started, although it’s a grim situation, part of me was happy that finally, I can now eat home-cooked meals. Something that I don’t experience a lot when things were normal, because most of my day was spent at work, and most times, I don’t get to eat what dishes were prepared at my mumma’s home. When I get home from work then they’re still asleep and I usually can’t wait for them to cook because I needed to go to sleep. 

But nowadays, I’m so much used to home-cooking that my taste buds are  looking for something else. So now, my current trip is to look for food or restaurants to try via Grab Food. One of which that caught my eye is Yang Chow. I haven’t eaten great tasting Chinese food for a long time since I only get them when I go to the mall or to Binondo. Yang Chow at that time was also one of the establishments that was offering free delivery, so I took advantage of that. 

Why Look For Accommodation In Hobart

Preparing for a vacation is one of the most exciting things that can happen to you. You finally get the time off to spend a couple of days in peace and relaxation. However, the first thing about a vacation is to figure out where you want to go. Some people prefer something more local and familiar, while others want to travel to a whole new and exciting location. Take Australia, for example. It is one of the most beautiful continents that exist in the world because it is surrounded by water. Just think of the marvelous golden beaches where you can sunbathe and go for a swim. Not only that, but it is rich in architecture as well. There will be plenty of landmarks and trademarks to visit there. The weather is gorgeous, and you can even meet new and exciting people that will end up being your friends.

Moreover, the second thing you should worry about is where to stay. Hobart, for example, has no shortage of the best accommodations on the whole island. You wouldn’t want to leave the vacation once it’s over.

6 Fast Ways to Improve Your Smile

Smiling is something that should be natural and positive. The best smiles are those that aren’t forced or thought about. They are the ones that we do when we’re feeling good. When we’re happy and confident. The smiles that we aren’t even aware that we’re showing off. When people have a great smile, we trust them. We think they are approachable, attractive, easy to talk to, and nice to be around. 

A great smile can make you look confident, beautiful and calm. But, we’re not all very good at it. Some of us feel terribly self-conscious about our smiles. We try to hide our teeth or hold our mouths in certain positions. We struggle to smile for photos and cover our faces or hide away when we giggle. If you hate your smile, but want to start reaping the rewards that come with doing it more often, here’s a look at six fast ways to improve your smile. 

The New Cara Mia Cakes & Gelato Cake: Creme Brulee Cake!

It’s my birthday month and yes, I’m an Autumn baby (even if there’s no autumn season in the Philippines lol!) But did you know that there are some fascinating facts about babies born in the Fall, like me? They say that we may live the longest, that we make good friends (ehem!), that we are notoriously charming and charismatic (ehem again!) and that Fall babies are happy babies! 

One of the things that make me happy is eating sweets though and I couldn’t be any happier when Cara Mia Cakes and Gelato finally unveiled their latest cake flavor: CRÈME BRÛLÉE! Just in time for this season, with its pretty golden brown, cream and white color! It’s so perfect for the Fall colors, don’t you think? 

Jollibee Crowd Favorites are Making a Comeback

There are so many things in our lives that we wish could have stayed and then there are those that we wish would never come back. Some things (or people) should stay in the past and no place in our present or our future. But you know what, Jollibee’s crowd favorites, are the only ones that I will allow to make a return in my life. 

So ICYMI (in case you miss it), Jollibee just recently brought back Filipino favorites: The Ultimate Burger Steak, Champ Burger, Buko Pocket Pie and the Criss Cut Fries! I love Jollibee to the max, it’s one of the homegrown fast food places that I will never get tired of eating. It’s my default comfort food. Unlike most people, it’s their burger steak that I love, and their spaghetti and chicken come only second and third.
