A Day Of Pampering

After all the things that happened to me since December 27 (which I don’t have the strenght yet to blog about)… today was the last straw.. and since I felt like it’s judgement day today, I just thought of pampering myself..(no worries guys it’s not the end of me hehe)

So here’s what I had today.. I did it all by myself and enjoy it that much. Times like this, I prefer pampering myself by myself, you know what I mean? no salons, no spa, just me.. it’s like being closer to myself.. OK I am not making any sense, so here we go:

I had Hot Oil first for my hair (of course) then body scrub… went to my doctor (for the check up.. yeah the feels like judgement day kind of appointment LOL) then had a foot spa and pedicure after.

For Hot Oil, I used Beauty Formula Avocado Oil that I bought from Hortaleza and of course for body scrub, I used Skin Cravings Scrub Me Pretty (which makes me feel pretty afterwards hehe)

For my foot spa, I used the Caronia foot products (that I also purchased from Hortaleza, I spend more than 2k PhP for vanity! LOL). There Caronia Revitalizing soak and wash, Caronia Renweing Scrub and Caronia Nourishing Creme.. makes my feet smoother and softer 🙂

I feel renewed with so much hope, oh well the visit to my doctor turns out good, not as scary as I though it would be.. but there’s another “big” day that’s about to come (all these big, judgement day talk involves my health).. so I am still a little nervous here and scared..makes me wonder what I can do tomorrow to make feel better..

oh I remember! my nails aren’t done yet! So I guess tomorrow would be mani-pedi day (will have to use a high power led for this one).. I haven’t used the Orly nail polish I bought from Baby Company Grand Baby Fair last week 🙂

The Promise of Youthful Skin On My 30th Birthday

written February 1, 10 PM

My day has been so good so far.. woke up at the right side of the bed. I actually only had 3 or 4 hours of sleep. Yes, I spent the first few hours of my birthday working. And I don’t complain, I always welcome opportunities that knock on my door, er, my email. I cooked spaghetti and chicken burger for lunch.

I just discovered that Timeline on FB is soon to be implemented, and knowing I have no choice but to change my profile, I just clicked publish and there. It was fun putting my chicken burger as my cover photo!

So aside from the changes in FB profile, my birthday today is a milestone.. oh gawd I just turned 30! I am sad and excited but I am not just over 20s! 29 is a howl lot different to saying, hey! I am 30! argh!

Setting aside my rants, I just realized this is the best time to invest on anti aging products or any products that will help me look I’m still on my twenties, even ten years from now. And then I remember this billboard I saw in C5:

I consider Gretchen Barreto as one of the most beautiful face in local showbiz and I admit that her billboards always get a second look from me.. but this one is different. I almost asked my husband to stopped when we pass by this billboard. Are those cleaners for real? then I realized it mus be part of the billboard and seeing it closely, yeah it is! (I have a zoom lens OK)

ERASE AGE MARKS..

just like how the cleaners do it on the billboard..

That’s a very interesting ad.. kudos to the brains behind it, now you got my attention.

So what any curious cat would do? of course as soon as I got home, I Googled the product and here’s what I have learned so far:
