    Buyer beware. Check everything you buy from Prolon. Unsatisfactory customer handling of expired product, and lack of quality control.  Not going to lie, I was not happy with my first Prolon kit and the missing soup. I let it go after being informed that it’s okay not to eat everything in the box, as long as…

    My standard recommendation was for everyone to read this book at least once every 2 to 3 years. Now that I picked this up again, I realized that this is one of those books that is better listened to than read. Or at least at first.  There’s just too much going on, the same learnings but…

    I tried to use Kango Express twice. I love the fact that there’s an alternative to Shipping Cart, but I may have to revert back to Shipping Cart, or probably experiment with another forwarder soon (I like having a lot of choices). I’m not very fond of Kango Express’s “handling fees.” My first shipment had…

    Lupus & melasma means (1) using only mineral / physical sunscreen (2) that has a high SPF bec of photosensitivity, (3) that doesn’t cling to your dry patches caused by your medications, and (4) doesn’t make your tinted moisturizer or foundation pill. My latest sunscreen haul includes: Coola’s Face SPF 30 Cucumber Matte Finish (my…

    As I get to know my skin, I slowly veer away (unconsciously) from Korean skin care products. When I look at my shelf, it’s now mostly Taiwanese, Japanese, Western & prescription products. I’m grateful though for the entire K-Beauty industry as it was pivotal in opening the doors for me in getting to know more…

    Apparently, I missed this. Grab also now offers 20% discount to PWD card holders. Previously, Grab merely gave the discount to Senior Citizens. https://www.grab.com/ph/blog/grab-special-discounts/

    Before anything else, let me be clear that I did try to contact Bistro thru their website. I only complain publicly about a service if I contacted a company directly, and have not received a reply in return. Last Saturday, I was in Italiannis BGC with my mom and my daughter. As expected, a Bistro…

    Friend: "I set up my kid's email address, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat account as soon as she was born." Me: "That's nice." Friend: "Did you? You should, you know." Me: "No. I only registered her domain name."

    It’s funny how Jollibee becomes a big part of a parent’s life as soon as their child reaches 2. Since Gabby now adores Jollibee, I just got her a Talk & Blush Doll. It costs me P420, a Happy Meal, and later on, three AA batteries. A cousin gave us one of Jollibee’s older plush…
