Purederm's Skin Recovery Red Ginseng Mask

I was browsing through Watson's and got curious on the Purederm masks.  I have very sensitive skin that's why Im wary of trying skin products.  There's quite a buzz about these masks that I decided to give it a go.  I chose the variant that has the least intimidating name.  Skin Recovery Red Ginseng Mask was the winner by elimination. The "re-energizing" tag seems safe to me and ginseng doesnt sound scary at all.  

Boooo!

Verdict:

• It didnt break me out
• My skin got refreshed and supple immediately after the application.
• No funky smell, in fact I love the citrus pomegranate scent.
• Barely Php70.00 a pack and it's good for 3 applications!
• Will definitely buy again!

Whew! Another Monday passing through.  It is a holiday today thanks to Jose Rizal's 150th birthday celebration.  Who would not love our favorite Pepe?  If he were alive to this day with the same 30 year old good looks, Id trade his lack of height for his sharp wit any time!  Holler back Jose!

Lezz go to the questions, shall we? ^^

1. What feature of the opposite sex do you notice first?

Im a back and shoulders kinda girl.. I like men who look sturdy not necessarily bulky. 

2. Do you talk to yourself?

Who doesnt? If you dont then better have yourself checked out! It's healthy!

3. What is your current relationship status? 

Single and will stay that way for a few more years! I dont want the unnecessary emotional baggage right now!  

4. Do you have a garden?

nothing fancy or landscaped, just hanging orchids and a guava tree! I dont have a green thumb, plants die on my watch.

5. What is your favorite licorice flavor? 

I have no idea what this tastes like. But I can eat any flavor of jelly bean!

BDJ Forget-me-not

As of press time, I now have 5 different planners/organizers waiting to be filled up.  Just like every year, I know Im only going to write on half of it.  *sigh I dream of the day that my yearly planners will be so used up that one would fear bacterial infection judging from the dog eared yellowing pages.  Pretentious bitch!  hahaha

But seriously, I love how planners/organizers effectively help me in navigating my life.  Though right now, time management is a skill I always flunk (if there was a grading system for it) nonetheless, I pray that someday in the future, I will be on a level of maturity and professionalism that would really impress the past and present me.  Like the book, A Christmas Carol, but only on reverse!  

Thank you Belle de Jour team for these very useful treats!  

Happy 113 Years of Independence, Beloved Philippines!

This is as nationalistic as I can get, in a vain kinda way!

His Side of Cebu Street Fashion

My raw email interview with Homer Anthony Medici

Photo by: Homer Anthony Medici

I:  love your blog cebu street fashion.  would you mind if I ask a few questions? although eloise has graciously filled me in on the big picture.. id like to get your side too if youre not too busy. ^^

H:  sure no prob.

I:  i understand.. pardon me if this is informal.. just a few quick ones

  :  what made you like fashion photography?

H:  i tried a lot of genre of photography but as an artist what i like most in photography is fashion, editorial,or fine art photography because i can express and execute the image in my head with control of the photoshoot, and Fashion photography for me is always exciting because it always evolves in time and nature. It also tickles the mind of the audience interpretation which is sometimes funny and interesting to hear what other says about my works. Same thing as fineart Photography, Fashion Photography is still Subjective.

I:  how do you choose your subjects? 

H:  I choose my subject by how they look overall, it does not mean they have to be pretty or handsome but i need them to be attractive with their looks. something that catches the eye. and makes you look back and gaze. 

I:  so far what do you think of cebu's street fashion?

H:  for me Cebu Street Fashion is still at early stage, meaning we only see people dressing up in certain time, places and events. and its rare to see someone during week day looking fab and hip, unlike other countries like hongkong, japan, france and new york. people go to work with their best outfit, i hope more people here in cebu will keep trying to dress up everytime they go out so that we can post more content in the site hahaa...

I: any big plans for the blog?

H:  Get a few Sponsors with names, Buy our own domain name, National & International Recognition awards, Hopefully we can post everyday. Inspire Everyone, hmm.. i think thats all for now

I: weeee! tnx homer!
