Skinclass is my holy grail

 

Crazy how this blog has reached a lot of audience and readers already, how long it is still standing and how many collaborations I've partnered with since I started. I still have so many dreams for this blog and one is to work as a full time blogger/writer. I love to experience working with big brands and just accept collaborations everyday. As much I wanted to, I'd love to publish posts everyday and express more of myself through writing. How I wish I can split myself into 3 and do blogging, baking, and my work as a full time dentist (soon) at the same time. I know that wouldn't be possible though but as much as I can I try to balance everything so nothing will be left out. As I was saying, I'm happy this blog has made me share my full experiences with products sent to me for reviews. I've always poured my heart in every post published and always gives my unbiased opinion. From clothes, jewelries, cosmetics, foods, travel and now skincare! I have not ever thought of doing one before but here it is! 

Today's product that I want to talk about is one of my skin's holy grail. I'm not being exaggerated about this but this is the reality. Ever since I was young I already have a sensitive skin. My mom brings me to the dermatologist at the age of 5 because I always develop allergies every time something is applied on my skin. As I grow older I've been more curious about some products that I watched from vlogs and decided to try some that concerns my skin- products for dry skin, whitening, uv protection, hydrating- everything! I've tried a few which are "hypoallergenic" but they only emphasized a few of my concerns and not as a whole. I know it's hard to find a product where I can get my needs satisfied all in one. But you know what I'm so happy that finally after years of searching and trying I finally found my holy grail- Skinclass.

Skinclass has two powerful products that I both love. First is the Milky White Body Scrub. I haven't been educated with that much information about scrubs before and that's the reason why I seldom use it. I have used once before but I wasn't consistent with it because maybe I didn't get to see any result that's changing on my skin. I tried to use one again when I received this milky white body scrub and I must say that it's now part of my routine. I have consumed 2 containers and the reason behind is first- my little bumps (bacne) have slowly regressed and second, I feel like I'm literally applying a milk on my body! I love the fragrance. I smell like a baby!!! This milky white scrub has a powerful exfoliating effect that restores my skin's natural glow back in motion. I use it 3-4x a week and leave it for 5 minutes on my body skin before I wash it. :)

Another product from Skinclass collection is my favorite, Milky white cream. I don't use lotion before. I had a few bad experiences with lotion. First is when I had an allergy because of the strong smell of the lotion I applied on my body and second is when I felt so oily and sticky with the heavy body cream that I applied. From then on, I had a little trauma on applying any cream on my body which left my skin really dry. I was a bit hesitant to try this product before because I don't use any cream anymore but when a friend recommended me to try it, I just can't say no! I applied it first on a little part of my arm. The first thing that I noticed is the smell! It's honeydew and it's so fragrant! I'm waiting for the allergic reaction to happen or series of runny nose episode but thank God I didn't experienced anything. I started applying it in my whole body and got that fresh and moisturized feels. I'm so happy too that it doesn't felt sticky at all!!! 

Other than those I have mentioned, I love the fact that it has UVA/UVB protection and perfect for persons who are always on the go like me! It's also applicable for all skin types, 100% vegan and cruelty free! 

I will forever be thankful for being introduced to these products. They're not only good but also affordable products that you can try! For less than Php 500 you can already have both! For orders and inquiries you can message me or you can directly message their fb page- Skinclass Batangas City. I hope these products can help you in your body skin problems too. If you're reading this and or currently using it too, leave your thoughts, comments and experiences about this product on the comment section below. :)

What I want my future bridesmaids' dresses to look like

Weddings, dresses, preparations- these are some of the things that excites me every time I hear it. I'm so in love with being part of weddings whether as a guest but most especially if I'm on the list of the entourage.  Dressing up, putting on makeup, wearing fancy dresses and high heels are things that I look forward to also about being a bridesmaid. I've encountered and wore a lot of bridesmaid's dresses and I think, I already mastered the perfect dresses that I want my future bridesmaids to wear on my future wedding day. 

This dress from the picture above is the perfect example of my "all-in-one" kind of dress. First is the color. Even though I love all shades of pink, I'd love my future entourage to wear dresses in red wine color with a touch of gold accessories. For me, it gives off that festive with full of love feels! I mean, you want to feel that everyone's celebrating with you on your wedding day! It's such a nice and happy color to dwell on for a dress. Second is, I want a chiffon dress. Chiffon gives off that flowy, princess like feels every time you're wearing it. I want my bridesmaids to look at their best and feel that they're beautiful on that special day. Aside from that, chiffon looks elegant in any angle. It's also lightweight that you won't be having a hard time wearing it for the whole day.

Third, I want a "V" neckline for the style of the dresses. Not that deep though, just a little heart shaped one. It makes the whole look sweet and playful. Lastly, I'd love to make an eye catcher side slit for my future bridesmaids' dresses. I've always wanted to wear a dress with a side slit but none of the previous weddings that I had attended to had that kind of dress' style. For me it instantly makes a whole look classy, elegant and polished. I also loved that fact that it can highlight the legs (I know my future bridesmaids have nice legs hahaha!) and I want them to show it off and not just hide it underneath the dress.  

I hope my future entourage would be able to read this so they will have an idea of what their future dresses would look like! Hahahaha! I know they will love and appreciate it too! I know I'm still young to prepare and think of things like this but honestly, it always excites me every time! If you're a soon to be bride and you also consider my tips and wants for my affordable chiffon bridesmaid dresses ideas, thank you in advance and know that you can message me or email me so I can help you put together  your ideas! It will be much appreciated! 

Thanks for reading! See you in my next posts! :)

Everything at 20% Off with Alfabridal's Black Friday Deals

It's that season again when everything online is almost on SALE! Can you hear me all giddy and excited with every price drop for this year's SALES? I've browsed a lot of shops lately and almost everything I saw was preparing for this year's BLACK FRIDAY SALE! I've selected some of my favorites and most recommended and here's the first among the list! One of my fave shop is having the biggest SALE of the year and I'm excited to introduce it to you here in my blog. Are you excited? Well, here's the big announcement, all of Alfabridal's bridesmaids' dresses are priced at less 20% off!!! Isn't that crazy! If I were a bride to be I'd definitely check their bridesmaid dresses trends 2021 out! 

There are actually a lot of bridesmaid dresses to choose from. Trend such as mix and matching clothes- colors, styles, cuts is what I've noticed recently in the past weddings that I've seen online. There are endless ideas that you can apply in choosing your set of bridesmaid dresses but here's one tip I want to share: Always consider the similarities and differences of one dress from another. Buy your bridesmaid dresses from your first trusted store so you know that your bridesmaids' dresses are in good hands. You don't want the color of the dresses be very different from the other nor you don't want the quality to be compromised. If you want everything to be in velvet just like in the picture above, then go for that velvet color and texture in that particular store where you bought it. The quality from another store may be different from the first one. 

Second and last tip that you may consider: Buy your bridesmaids' dresses on SALE because you'll only wear it once! This is your chance to spend less and still look beautiful in your Alfabridal dress. Use the coupon code: BF20 upon checkout! Go check them out at Alfabridal.com!
Happy Shopping ladies!

Life Update: Family? Relationship? Friends? Business?

Life update: I'm still kicking and alive!!! As promised, I'm making a comeback and I'm doing my best to spend more of my spare time on my online space by sharing and updating you with some of the things that I'm currently loving and I'm currently up to. First things first, I'm a working woman now- not as a dentist (soon I will be and I'll keep you with me in every step of my journey) but a baker during the morning and a blogger during the night! I work home-based, full time and I couldn't be more thankful for it. As my friends call me, I'm a very "busy woman" now. I can't even finish a netflix series (except for Emily in Paris teheee it's so nice!! I'm looking forward to Season 2) now that's why I opt for netflix movies preferably Christmas special instead. Anyway, I'd like to share with you some of the events and things that I were up to recently.

I'm a year older!! Yes, I'm 24 and still looking young! Haha! I celebrated my birthday last September 30 with a very intimate set up. I can't even believe my birthday would be covered by quarantine period!! Anyway, I'm really thankful for what I have been and for what I have went through for the past 24 years. I didn't know I'd grow up into a mature and business minded woman who's only goal as of now is to help my mom in all ways I can and to save money for my future investments. This year hit me hard in a good way! I didn't know the word "productive" have a deeper meaning when I started working and earning everyday. I'm just really thankful that slowly, the dreams that I didn't knew were coming were slowly making it's way to the top and turning itself into reality. 

Birthday dress from SHEIN

I used to celebrate my birthdays with a lot of friends but this year was different. We were only 10 who celebrated together but it felt like a community. I'm happy my family is complete and my boyfriend was able to come! It's his first time to be with me in my exact birth date. I'm happy that my 2 closest friends were also with me on my birthday! I cooked/baked some of the foods like honey mustard and original wings that I've always loved! I also baked my birthday cake. I cried because I thought it was a fail (HAHAHA) but I'm happy that it wasn't after all because my cousins loved it! It's a heart shaped pink dulce de leche cheesecake by the way. I also ordered some foods from local homebased stores like Lechon Belly from Peng's Kitchen, Cordon Bleu and Lumpiang Shanghai from Gunitahanan, Pizza from Micah's Catering, and ice cream cakes from Donn & Mary's Creamery. They didn't disappoint me! Everything's worth the try! :) 

Did you noticed that I got a haircut? :) Fast forward to 3 days after my birthday, Pau and I celebrated our anniversary in advance while he's still on vacation before he went back to work. It was my idea to have a home dinner and I'm happy it turned out the way we want it to be. 3 years of being in a relationship with Pau? Well, I think we've become mature enough to know our priorities this time. During our first and second years together, we used to be always together- from morning texts, to everyday lunch dates, to night video calls. We're inseparable. When he passed the boards, got a job in Lucena then in Manila, we seldomly do the things that we used to do before. We only get to see each other once every 2 months and talk every night after he gets back to work. Same with me, I became very busy that sometimes instead of talking at night, I tell him I want to rest and sleep early. Our relationship doesn't get boring because of work. It gets exciting instead because we're slowly building our dreams together. There are times when I complain that he's too workaholic but he always makes me realize that he has deadlines to meet. He tells me that he's working hard to give me a future that I deserve. As of now, we're both working far from each other but our dreams and goals bind us together. Thank you always, Pau! :)

I'm not suppose to include this here but I just have to.  My life update wouldn't be complete without my everyday routine and Shai Bakes is already part of it! As of now I'm really happy and grateful to all the people who's been supporting, trying and buying my baked goods. Having Shai Bakes is like having a baby. It excites me on how I see it grow. Its achievements and milestones are something I want to share with everyone. I have much to share and look forward to in my growing business and I want you guys to be part of it. The holidays is fast approaching and I'm looking forward to see your tables and Christmas set up with Shai Bakes on it! Watch out for our 11.11 SALE & GIVEAWAY!!! It's going to be a BIG one! :)

I really don't have a day off because I accept orders everyday. But, even for a short notice, I make it a point to spend some quality time with the people I want to laugh and tell stories with! My friends keep me sane! They're one of the best support system that I have and I'm really thankful for them. Chikas and food cravings bind us. On some days we're craving for burger, while on the next we'll go out for pizza! I don't know what's next? Nuggets maybe? Haha! I know I wouldn't survive my busy life right now without their memes on our chat box! Thanks for always keeping up with my schedule! I owe you cheesecakes on Christmas!!! Hahaha! 

This was the most recent trip I went to! It was just last Sunday in our bukid. We had a plan of going there but I wasn't prepared because I was hesistant at first that it'll push through because of the weather. When we got there, it just happened that everyone was so excited and hopeful to push it! I can't do anything but join even if I wasn't prepared. I'm wearing a big shirt, denim shorts and slippers. We climbed a mountain (literal!!!) and I slid twice before we got there. I told myself I wouldn't go for a swim but when I got there, I just couldn't resist the cold and clean water from the falls! It was so tempting and everyone went for it! I wasn't prepared for half the adventure we went to but it was a memorable experience and worth the hike!  

Let's keep in touch! I still have so many things to share! Watch out for outfit, foodie and skincare posts up next! See you! :)

Where to Find Cheap Bridesmaid Dresses – Alfabridal

Here I am digging in some photos I wasn't able to upload here while reminiscing the wedding day of one of my closest and eldest cousin. It was a memorable one because she's my first cousin in our mother side to get married. Imagine how giddy and excited everyone was! I was very happy to be part of the entourage and be chosen as her maid of honor. We were all so excited back then- I was with her during the preparation period and I also headed her surprise bridal shower. It was fun and fulfilling to arrange such a huge celebration and I'm happy she made me part of it. She has now her son who's my grandson and he's the cutest little man that we have now! 

The best part of the preparation where the whole entourage is excited about was the gown fitting! Who doesn't want this? The bridesmaid dresses were designed as infinity dresses so we would be able to style it in different ways the way we want it to be. It was in skyblue too and I didn't expected that this color will convey a lively, youthful and fun vibes! Speaking of bridesmaid dresses, I've came across a collection of beautiful bridesmaid dresses from Alfabridal. I know I've said this many times but they sell really chic and sophisticated dresses for all occasions. Every time I browse their website I would always imagine myself in those dresses and think who's going to be the next in line bride among my friends and cousins! Hahaha! I want to be a bridesmaid again! Here's to the 2 best set of dresses that I loved from their collection.  

I'm always on for florals! These designs convey a femme and chic spirit that anyone who'd wear this would feel like a walking beauty queen or model. I love everything here but the second dress with a deep V-neck is my favorite among all of these.

Pastel and nude are the colors I secretly love because it gives a high end vibe with a high degree of elegance. These dresses may not show off too much skin nor have prints or anything on it but its structure and color stood up for its beauty.

I really wish to be a bridesmaid again soon! (Hopefully my guy cousins are reading this!! Hahaha!) As for my recommendation, I highly approve and recommend Alfabridal for your one stop shop for all your wedding preparation needs! You can visit their website for more designs and ideas! :) See you in my next posts!
