LUSH. 
Tuesday, July 06, 2010
This morning, my friend asked me to go with her to check out LUSH, and see what the hype is all about. I've always been a L'Oreal/The Body Shop kind of girl, but I read about LUSH on one of the blogs I've been reading for years, and the blogger talked good about it, kaya go naman ako!
Lush produces and sells a variety of handmade products, including face masks, soaps, bath bombs, bubble bars, hand and body lotions and hair treatments.
Lush uses fruit and vegetables, essential oils, and safe-synthetic ingredients in all products produced. In addition to not using animal fats in their products, they are also against animal testing and perform tests solely with volunteers instead. *
Here's what I got:
Dream Cream - € 17.95
LUSH uses 100% recycled plastic pots. When you bring 5 empty containers in one of their shops, you get a free fresh face masks. Yay!
And I love when everything has an expiration date! Double Yay!
I've been using Victoria's Secret Garden Strawberries and Champagne Hydrating Body Lotion for years, and it's been great, especially since I don't get that sticky feeling I used to get when I used Dove for a week because I ran out of "Strawberries and Champagne". There's no way to buy them here, and I still don't know why they don't sell it here. Dream cream is a body (hands & feet) cream which I plan to use at night, right before I go to bed. Let's see if it'll do wonders. :-P
Ocean Salt - € 10.95
Scrub made from grapefruit infusion, lime oil, fresh avocado butter, coconut fat, sea salt, and Vodka. Use once a week.
It actually smells good, I'm not sure if it's the lime or the Vodka. Hehehe.

"You will discover your lifelong love during a trip home."
"When the cherry blossoms fall, your love will bloom."On Oct. 04, 2009
Lunch.
Mamma: Akala nila mag-18 ka pa lang.
Me: Oh? Yaan mo na, para bata pa ako kunyare, hindi na ako hahanapan ng boyfriend.
Mamma: Akala nga nila matanda pa sa'yo si C. (C —my 19-year-old cousin)
Tita Zeny: Matured naman kasi mukha nung si C. eh.
Me: Aga kasi nag-make up, kaya madalas na papagkamalan na matanda pa sa akin.
Dinner, home.
Mamma: Ang bait talaga ni A., ano?
Me: Oo nga, dami din kasi may kelangan dun sa Pilipinas gawa ni Ondoy.
Mamma: Pag kinasal ka, gusto ko ninang mo si A. at si N.
Me: Nge, ikaw, pa-kasal ka ulit, hehehe.
Mamma: Ah, gusto ko nga kumare ko si A. at si N.
Me: Ah, eh pano yun? Eh wala ngang aasawahin eh, pano gagawing ninang si Tita A., at si Tita N.?
Mamma: Syempre mag-aasawa ka din no! Hindi mo pa lang yun nakikilala, malay mo pag uwi mo ngayong Disyembre?
Yay, scary, ha! Hahaha!
Mother's Day.
Sunday, May 11, 2008
"Motherhood isn’t simply the act of giving physical birth to another being."
Every time na there's a special occasion (New Year, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.) I'd spend at least 20 € on text messages. My friend Judi says that I'm crazy for spending too much and would ask me if I really consider that much people special, and promptly I would say "Yes".
I was raised by one of my titas (Mamma's sister), and lived 12 long years of my life with her and her family. She's a mother of two, so I knew she could never be a full-time mum to me. Growing up, my friends's parents and some teachers became my 2nd parents (I have teachers who I call mommy and dada). It's like having part-time mums (and dads) all around me. =) It's not as traumatic as some people might think, since I was the most babysitted baby there was, even before I moved to the Philippines. I know, not the best "situation", but I'm more than okei with this. Lalo na seeing other people's relationship with their own parents.
So yes, I probably do spend too much on every special occasion na dumadaan, but I know for sure that it's worth every Euro. They are the people who are close to my heart, and they're all priceless. So 20 € are nothing compared to them. ;-)
To Mamma, Tita Mila, Lola, my sisters, titas, friends & cousins (who are mums or mums-to-be), and to your mums...
Happy Mother's Day!!!
Love,
Me.

What the ... ?
Friday, January 25, 2008
Uy, I'm home early! Actually I did not go to school, may sciopero (strike) daw eh. Ayun. Wala lang.
For almost a week now, I've been exchanging Friendster messages with a schoolmate back when I was in grade school. We're not really friends, I don't even remember his last name, and the last time I saw him was 1996.
I'm trying to be as friendly as I can, because we were schoolmates, and because he remembers my full name and my cousin's full name. After the "Hi, Hello, What have you been up to?", eto na:

[And this is the part where I start to get VERY irritated! I mean, what the hell?]
Dindin wrote:
You probably have Americans in mind, and mistaking them for Italians.. Oh well, whatever..
[I wanted to say, "You probably have Travis Kraft in mind", and since he's American (correct me, if I'm wrong.), I said American instead, because I'm not sure if he's familiar with Travis Kraft and I didn't want to explain who he is na.]
**** wrote:
hahahah ganon b hnd nman noh... heheheheh
What the hell? Why is he still laughing?
Am I the only one who's irritated with this? Am I being my-too-sensitive-self here?
I probably just need some sleep.
Or maybe not. Gggrrrr...
Expensive toy for big girls.
Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Here's the frivolous post I was talking about.
I believe boredom triggers creativity. After all this creativity I found about last year, here's a new creation, The Toy. Something for those who love to send SMS and ladies who love to receive them! X-box, PS (I myself enjoy playing this), Nintendo Wii (I will have this, soon!), sports car and guns are considered (expensive) toys for big boys, now, here's a not so expensive, only £140.00, toy for big girls! This is "the" toy of the moment... You play it with a partner and it's supposed to be fun (since I have no idea) and it comes in different colours! Let's just hope it won't make as much noise as those big boys' toys do. Haha! ;-p
Connected to a mobile phone with Bluetooth it becomes an intimate, silent connection between two lovers, regardless of distance. Custom designed for your pleasure, it is intelligent, sophisticated and invented for bliss. The Toy is worn internally, linked to a mobile phone and controlled by sms text messages sent to the phone. Once read, the message is transported automatically to The Toy, which turns it into vibrations - with a huge range of movements, depending on what you have written. Just say what you feel, The Toy will do the rest.Source: The Register.
I think people are bored. Deadpan bored.
