source: cucucovers.com So what are card skins? That was also my question also when I came across Cucu Covers card skins.  Card skin is an adhesive you put on to your bank card, beep card, metro pass or any other card - to customize it!  Giving your card it's own personality.  How cool is that?  No more boring cards on your wallet.  What is more exciting about about this card skin is that they have Sanrio designs - Hello Kitty in particular. (*wink) They also have wide range of designs that could fit your personality.  You can also customize your own card skin. :) Card skins are available in 3 variations: ♥ Full cover - $8.00 each source: cucucovers.com ♥ Full cover with window - $8.00 each source: cucucovers.com ♥ Half cover - $6.00 each source: cucucovers.com These card skins are also available in no chip, large (round/square) chip and small (rectangle chip) source: cucucovers.com They also offer bundles at the moment if plan to buy more that one card skin...

Do we really have to wear sunscreen?   Source: Google.com According to my cousin who is a dermatologist - Yes!   Aside from the harmful sun rays, the blue light from our mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers have shown to be the cause of pigmentation and aging.  Don't get me wrong -  sun rays is good for the body its the best natural source of Vitamin D, but we have to protect our skin which is the largest organ in our body. Actually even before my cousin told me this, I am already using moisturizer and foundation with high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) since I use the computer more than 8 hours a day because of work and of course mobile phone because of my online boutique. She also told me that even if I am just at home it is very important to apply sunscreen. We should really start early in protecting our skin especially our face.  When I turned 30 I started using Pond's age miracle day and night cream and facial wash - better to start ...

We often hear this term nowadays.  Do you consider yourself a Tita of Manila?  For my own personal opinion... "Titas of Manila" is the best description for the powerful and independent women of today (the age of the Millennials).  Yes I do consider myself a "Tita" but not yet a Lola.. (hahaha).. I'm in my late 40's but who cares... age is just a number, what's important are your learnings and experiences through the years. Here are some of the things you should know if you are one of us: Clothes - we opt for classic looks... plain top or bottoms.  We are more into classic white, black or dark/navy blue, army green.  But sometimes we also love adding a splash of colors into our outfit but not too loud.  source: Google.com Slip-ons/Slippers - when we reached the 40's mark we tend to experience back pains... (I do experience this too).   I used to wear sky-high heels, stilettos...  now I am more comfortable in wearing flats, sli...

I am so excited to share the new addition to my Hello Kitty collection.  Meet Princess White - Hello Kitty!  She is actually a coin bank made of ceramic with gold plated crown.  This beautiful princess is a collaboration between Hello Kitty and Her Beauty.  It also comes with a small pillow where you can place her on it and an authenticity card. There are actually a lot of cute stuff in the Hello Kitty Princess white collection.  From vases, candleholder, make up brush/pen holder, jewelry dish, snow globes and etc.  I really drooled when I saw them and wished to have at least one in my collection.  Honestly when this coin bank arrived last August, I am now wanting more. (*wink) It's a bit pricey but excellent quality, really a collector's item.  It was nicely and securely packed, even the original box has no dents when it arrived. Dimension :13.5cm x 10cm  Material : Ceramic with gold plated crown Inclusions : Small pillow with ribbon and Aut...
