I used to hate playsuits, also known as rompers. It wasn't really my type back then until I saw my previous co-worker rock a printed floral-ish romper. So nainggit ang ateng niyo kaya nagtry din magromper. Sorreh nmn haha. Fast forward today I now have more than one romper in my closet and I wouldn't mind having more. Without further ado, let me share five reasons why I love rompers and why I think you should too.

1. It is Easy to Wear

I think rompers are like slip-on shoes. You just kind of slip in it and you're ready. If your rompers were made with zippers, you just need to zip it up and that's it. Easiest if it's an off shoulder top, like what I'm wearing, I just pull it up and voila! I'm ready to roll.

2. It is Easy to Style

Besides it's no frills, no hassle way to wear. Rompers are also easy to style. You can throw in a kimono or cardigan like what I did. You could also go with just the romper and you're all good. It can stand alone and you'll still look well put together.

Hey, look at these animal face masks! They're just so fun. I'm glad I was finally able to share it on the blog. These are from Korcosmetics at the Trendsetters Bazaar. I bought it for Php 100 per sheet mask but they're also offering a package of Php 300 for all the four sheet masks. I also saw these masks at Watsons, so if you want to try it out you can buy it there. I just don't know how much it costs there.

The animal/character face masks entering the beauty scene made skincare junkies like me jump for joy. Well, I don't know about the others but the little Mica inside me is giddy. Anyway, let's find out if these face masks worth it or is it just for fun and aesthetics.

Raise your hand if you grew up to eating Jollibee spaghetti! Remember getting 'spaghetti-lipstick' smeared all over our faces when we were little kids? Haha. Jollibee is definitely Philippine's top fast-food brand that has always been the dining destination of choice among Filipino kids and kids-at-heart. A few weeks ago I was tagged by Alyssa of Alyssa Food and Life to join her for the Jollibee media event. I was not only brought back to my childhood but I also got to witness a day full of fun and adorable kiddos plus see Jollibee's latest bibang-biba ambassador Xia Vigor. If I had known earlier that the launch was a kiddie event I would've stolen some pamangkins of mine. Yes, I steal kids. Lmao! Anyway, keep browsing to see some photos of the event.

Is April Skin Magic Stone Soap really worth the rave? I've started using it the second week of February and it's still a part of my regimen up to this day. As early as now I'll tell you that I'm still 50/50 with the soap. I still can't decide whether I like/love it even though I've already used it for over two months. It also took me that long to review the soap because I didn't want to judge it only on my first impression but rather see it's effect on my skin after a period of time. I do think it was a bit overhyped but still, it does have some good points.



April Skin Magic Stone comes in two different types Original & Black which is best used together but I only have the Black one.

Magic Stone Black is to be used for morning or second cleansing while the Original one is to be used for night cleansing. Both soaps are said to be mild, natural, organic and suitable for all skin types.

April Skin Claims
The Black soap refreshes the skin as it removes light makeup. It has french green clay with rich minerals that detoxifies the skin, transforming rough skin to radiant skin. It's packed with vitamin-rich ingredients like shea butter & coconut oil to nourish and hydrate for a supple skin. April Skin boasts the soaps beneficial ingredient Hyaluronic Acid. (Read about Hyaluronic Acid on WebMD)

Suggested Use
First is to create a foamy lather to massage the stone soap over wet face then leave the foam on the face for 30 sec before rinsing with lukewarm water.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who loves Japanese food, most of us do but unlike others, I was not a fan of Ramen. I'm not having its craze. Like what's so special about Ramen anyway. Then I had my first 'genuine' Ramen from Hanamaruken Ramen. I've come to understand why it became so popular.



Hanamaruken Ramen originated from Osaka, Japan in 1982, now with over 40 branches. They take pride of their Signature dish "Happiness Ramen", a Tonkotsu-Shoyu based soup ramen topped with a slab of slow-braised tender pork rib. They've decided to come to the Philippine shores sometime in 2014.

I feel bad for not posting this early on and not trying it out as soon as I got them. I actually got these babies way back, like when they first came out but it took me a few years to use it. (Boo!) My apologies but it's not like anyone is actually waiting for this. Hahaha. Anyway, let's get to the review.

Contour and highlighter are two products I don't have in my makeup stash. That's why I decided to buy some from Althea a few months ago (Click to view the haul). What I ordered from the online beauty store was two Soft Blending Stick Blushers in shades Mud Brown & Sugar Glam by Missha.
