On the Menu: Beef Sinigang

Nothing beats a cold, windy day than a perfectly good bowl of steaming Beef Sinigang. This quintessential Filipino dish is made from beef imported from… Tagaytay.   Yes, we went to the home of bulalo to purchase kilos of  beef because the meat there is much more flavorful than the ones here in Manila, or so I’ve been told.   Nevertheless, no matter where you purchase...

WIMMB: Careline Extra Shine Lipgloss

Hello everybody! My actual go-to makeup look is what I fondly call the gandang minadali look.   I’ve mentioned it before on my previous post, where I only need concealer, powder and lip product and I’m good to go.   For this kind of “look” I always reach for my favorite lip tint or lip gloss.   And the lip gloss I’m currently loving at the moment is the one from...

WIMMB: Fashion 21 All day Matte Lipstick in Russet

Hello everybody! Story time: It’s pretty hard for me to look for good and affordable lipsticks.  Don’t get me wrong; I know that local brand lipsticks are stepping up their game, it’s just that I have pigmented lips.  Like, I have dark lips.  I can’t wear most nude lipsticks because they make me look sick and washed out.  It’s a chore for me to look for a good MLBB shade. That’s...

WIMMB: EB Advance Perfect Eye Concealer

Hello everybody!  The next item in my makeup bag that I will be giving my thoughts on is: my concealer.  Not to brag or anything, but I do have quite clear skin (thank you Lord for that) and not a lot of darkness under my eyes.  Basically there’s nothing much to cover up, I just usually use BB creams or foundation to even out my skin tone and get rid of the redness on my face. That’s...

WIMMB: Ever Bilena Kleopatra Eyebrow Pencil

Hello everybody! For the first part of my What’s in my Makeup Bag series, I will be talking about one of the very first makeup items I’ve bought: the eyebrow pencil. I’ve always been a pulbo lang, pwede na kind of girl. And since a good chunk of makeup gurus on Youtube puts emphasis on the terms “kilay is life”, I figured my eyebrows were a good place to start practicing. Enter Ever Bilena Kleopatra...

What's In My Makeup Bag

I’m going to admit it right here, right now: I’m a total cheapskate. It’s true, I never particularly cared for brands, style and whatnot, and I definitely look at the price tag of anything and everything I purchase. Thus, all of my makeup can actually fit into this one pencil case: With that in mind, let’s take a look at what’s inside my “makeup-bag”. I did not get into cosmetics until after I graduated and entered the corporate world (I finished college last 2013). Even then, I...

My plans for this blog

What I am planning for this blog is to put into words all of the things that interest me; things that affect me in everyday life. These may be places I go to, food, books, makeup, movies, and all that good stuff. Do keep in mind that I am just a regular woman. An everyday, run-of-the-mill Filipina who celebrates life one day at a time. I’m hardly an expert on any of the things listed above, but I will give nothing less than honest thoughts. So I will be doing a series of reviews of...
