Hope you enjoy this one...

Wouldn’t you agree?

That’s the same with skincare.

Photo Credits : Pinterest

A lot of instances in my life that I experienced misunderstandings with people at school or work. I will list down some thoughts that helped me a lot to “resist a Horrible Boss”. This post is leaning over to what I believe in as a Christian so hopefully you guys are the same as me. (As we all know religion is pretty much hard to agree upon but I am giving it a shot and hopefully it will help you in one way or another. This is why the blog is for anyways. J) 



Because of individuality (different culture, upbringing, environment, beliefs and much much more) we all agree that sometimes we disagree to a certain act, views or behaviour.

I recently enrolled to one of the saving scheme of HDMF Pag-Ibig Fund which is Pag-Ibig (MP2). Pag-Ibig MP2 lets you save money with the highest interest rate per annum as compared with bank.

Reasons Why You are Not Satisfied with Your Job?



After graduating, I have been in couple of jobs (5 jobs to be exact). Jumping from company after company from private companies to government, from front-line sales to back office work and working local and abroad, none of these jobs gave me sense of fulfilment. I felt like I am a chaos.

Burn out after burn out; I jumped from one job to another.

Then the inevitable happens.

Food Vs Acne || Foods to Avoid and Misconception



There are many factor's why people have acne and food is one of it.

Here are my picks for common foods that contributes with breakouts and common Filipino misconceptions with regards to food in relation with acne.

3 Beauty Mistakes You’ve Been Told to Do

1.    Choose a Lighter Shade for your Eyebrows

I am pretty sure one way or another someone just suggest this to you. This is not absolutely true.

The right thing to go for is to consider what kind of character you want to portray or better yet how you want others to identify you. You as an individual.
