Review: Nivea Luminous 630♥

Are you also having problems with dark spots on your face?  Whether it's Sun spots, Pimple marks or Freckles?  Don't fret! Because it's finally here!  A new breakthrough innovation was discovered by scientists known as W630 which is said to be effective in treating dark spots in the span of 2 to 4 weeks.  It was exclusively patented to Nivea - the product is known as Nivea Luminous 630.   In my mid-40s I started to notice sun spots on my face.  I do have a daily face regimen but I felt it was too slow in treating the dark spots.  So when I learned about this from Nivea I immediately went to Watsons to check if it is available there. Luckily, there is a value set available : The Luminous 630 Intensive Treatment Serum and Spot clear sun protect - priced at P1,419.00.  If you purchase them separately it's at P999.00 and P799.00 respectively. I found these products very effective.  You can see visible results after two weeks of use.  I used the Serum and Sun protect twice a

Things i think I am too old doing♥

A lot of people say that age is just a number, but let's face it we will all get old and there are things that we are no longer comfortable doing.  At 50 here are some of the things I feel I'm too old doing. 1. Wearing too short clothes - Though I don't wear micro mini skirts but I wore short-shorts during my younger years.  But now I am not really comfortable wearing that kind of shorts anymore  and same with micro mini dresses.   source: Google I said goodbye to short-shorts and now I go for medium length or Bermuda shorts.  The same with dress I am more comfortable to wear medium length dress with a few inches above the knee. 2. Wearing too much accessories - I believe as you age - "less is more".   source: Google Before I used to wear a lot of accessories: like stacking a lot of bracelets or bangles, necklaces.. but now I am more on the minimalist side - I'm good with just 2 or 3 bracelets.  I am okay with stud earrings and a bracelet or bangles.   source:

Plains & Prints x Mark Nicdao: Manila Collection♥

source: Plains & Prints This is not the first time that Mark Nicdao collaborated with Plains & Prints.  Back in 2015, for the 20th Anniversary Plains & Prints he made the Palace of Kings Collection which showcases Mark's travel in India (it's architecture and culture).  Seeing his amazing photographs printed on clothes is truly amazing and Plains & Prints is really good in giving life to them. The Manila Collection embodies the historic and iconic landmarks in the City of Manila that aims to uphold it's culture, heritage and or of course preserving it's legacy. It's really amazing to see the places you grew up with be featured in an one of a kind collection.  Perfect time for an outfit update inspired by the City of Manila.   According to Plains & Prints Facebook - The Manila collection was supported by various government agencies and institutions : Department of Tourism, Culture and Arts Manila, National Parks Development Committee, National Com

Review: Boston Cream Chocolate Cake by The Cakery by Yca♥

I love supporting local and small businesses because I myself is a small business owner.  Last weekend, I received a cake from a friend made by The Cakery by Yca.  As I have said on my previous blog entries,  I do cook and bake that is why I am not really easy to please when it comes to food or desserts.   For this blog entry, I want to make an honest review on the Boston Cream Chocolate Cake of The Cakery of Yca.  To those who are not familiar with Boston Cream (actually it's currently popular in  TikTok but it's the no-bake version)  it tastes similar to custard or cream filling in your donuts. The Cake :  The Chocolate cake is super moist, it's not dry even if I tried it without pre-heating the cake.  (Thumbs up for this!) The Chocolate Ganache :  The rich chocolate ganache is oozing with goodness and garnished with chocolate bits  - it's really chocolatey! The Boston Cream :  This is really the star of the cake.  Normally a Chocolate Cake is topped with a ganache bu
