Pamper Yourself with Amu’in Massage Oils
These days, I’ve been so busy with work and other activities that I hardly have any time left to relax. At the end of the day, when all the activity has finally died down, I find myself too tired to head to the nearest spa for a nice, one-hour full body massage. This is why I love those home massage services – not only are they more affordable than spa massages; you can get one at...
Read MoreZen Zest Foot Spa Products
To me, nothing smells more clean and soothing than peppermint. Whether it’s on candy or bath and body products, the scent of peppermint invigorates me more than any other scent. One of my favorite discoveries is the new Zen Zest Peppermint Foot Spa product – an affordable line of peppermint scented foot spa products containing essential peppermint oils to relax tired...
Read MoreSM Launches Eco-Friendly Shopping Bags
Green is in, or so SM says. Actually, the trend of using eco-friendly shopping bags is nothing new to the rest of the world – it makes consumers feel less guilty for spending their money because of the perceived sustainability that comes with the use of reusable shopping bags. Last weekend, SM launched own line of eco-friendly bags. The GreenBag is made out of 100% recycled material...
Read MoreDove Philippines Campaign for Real Thoughts
by Noemi Lardizabal-Dado When I was 14 years old, my lola gave several bars of Dove Soap to my mom, who gave me one to use. I loved the sweet, subtle fragrance and the creamy sensation of the soap. But more than that, I love how my skin felt the first time I used it. Other soaps left my skin feeling stretched and dried up, as though every single bit of moisture on my skin got washed away along...

Read MoreDresses on Multiply, Part 2
The best thing about shopping at Multiply is that you get clothes, bags, and accessories you can’t find at malls or bazaars. And I don’t just mean imported clothes. There are also a lot of local designers who choose to sell their creations online instead of putting up shop somewhere. One of my recent discoveries is the work of Kaye Olfindo, who does custom party dresses, gowns,...
Read MoreThe Clear Shoebox Project
In our house, we have a whole line of shoe cabinets lined up outside our rooms where we keep our shoes. While it does keep my stuff neat, I have too many shoes and the nicer ones end up getting squished and dirtied by the ones I use everyday. I keep my dressy shoes in their cardboard shoeboxes at the back of my closet, but retrieving them is always such a pain; I end up looking through three or...
Read MoreGorillapods on Multiply
Ever since I started my ukay-ukay blog, I realized how incredibly difficult it is to take full-body pictures of myself at all the right angles. In order to take a decent photo of myself, I have to make a tower out of my biggest, thickest books then place my camera on the top and start the timer. This is a tedious, often messy process that takes up too much time and preparation. A friend...
Read MoreVintage Bags
What I love about buying vintage clothing is that they never go out of style. While everyone else looks the same in the mass-produced clothes they bought at malls or bazaars, vintage clothing offers more room for your imagination to run wild and allows you to experiment with your personal style and tastes. Recently, I’ve been paying more attention to the bags I use. Bags and purses...
