It’s not uncommon to hear about skin exfoliation when talking about healthy skin. Our skin is designed to naturally exfoliate in order to renew itself, but sometimes the process needs a little boost, especially in acne-prone and hyperpigmented skin. “How you treat your skin today can influence how your skin behaves weeks later,” says Santa Monica plastic surgeon and skin expert Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian.  In his bespoke skincare boutique in Santa Monica, he offers several laser and chemical peel exfoliating treatments to restore your skin to a healthy glow.


For home use, Dr. Karamanoukian has formulated Melapads Daily Exfoliating Pads for patients who would benefit from a healthy dose of daily exfoliation. Melapads contain a super-potent combination of kojic acid, alpha and beta hydroxy acids, and witch hazel extract in pre-soaked exfoliating wipes to wipe away skin impurities and stimulate cellular renewal. 

Melapads are ideal for acne-prone and hyperpigmented skin, especially if you have stubborn blackheads and pimples. The addition of kojic acid allows for simultaneous skin brightening and dark spot correction.

WHAT WE LIKE: Melapads are easy to apply, lightly scented, and refreshing. It’s always nice to have products that feel good on the skin and have clinically-proven corrective power. We would recommend Melapads after a good skin cleanse and before applying your daily skin regimen. 

VERDICT: This is a no-brainer. Safe for sensitive acne-prone skin, Melapads serve a dual function to cleanse the skin of excess sebum and correct dark spots.

Hey guys! It's Fridayyy! How are you all doing? Any plans for the weekend? I already have mine and I hope it'll be pushed through with my family. Anyway, I'm back with a new post featuring one of my favorite online store, StyleWe. One of the many reasons why I keep on mentioning StyleWe in my posts is that there's always something new to look forward to- new unique pieces from new fashion designers! 
I recently discovered a new rising fashion designer named Mimi who founded the brand Jungle Me. "The style of Jungle Me is filled with wonderful sense of childhood and designs with lovely patterns of flowers printed and vintage dot printed on the classic black mini dress which makes the overall style look rich and colorful." These classic printed pieces are what makes her designs loved by many. You can visit and follow their Pinterest for more styles and choices.

I'm officially 20!! I don't know when I'll get use to it but I stopped feeling a year older since I was 18. (and I think I'm still gonna feel 18 when I reach 30 years old) Hahaha! #CantLetGoOfYouthFeeling I celebrated my birthday dinner at Kaffeine Cafe with some of my closest college friends. I'm happy to see all of my favorite people gathered in one place, celebrating with me another year of life. I didn't expected surprises and I really appreciate all their efforts especially with the gifts (Gusto nyo na talaga ako maging dalaga. Hahaha!) . Thanks to my small circle who makes me feel that I'm worth loving-  for never leaving me when I need them the most and for making me feel that I deserve to be treated special. I really enjoyed the whole night and I couldn't be more thankful to all of them who made it memorable. No more dramas, no more heart breaks. A new chapter of my life has began and here's all I can say, "Cheers to my 20 years of existence! Cheers to more fun and awesomeness!". 
PS. Thank you to all the warm greetings- personally, on social media- facebook, twitter, blog, instagram & snapchat and to those who sent me personal messages. *kilig* I appreciate all your efforts in making my day extra special. I love you guys! 

September is almost over!!! I can literally count the remaining days before our semestrial break! Look who's happy and excited here! Haha! :) Another thing is that tomorrow is already my birthday and I'm just so happy and blessed that I'm turning 20. Anyway, here's a little wish list of dresses from Runbuye. It's a website I recently discovered which specializes on Japanese and Korean designs. Aside from their wide variety of short dresses, they also have long dresses for women that I absolutely love. Check some of these dresses from my wish list or you can check out www.runbuye.com for more fashionable finds. :)
