The ravages of time leave its mark upon our face and bodies - and the good news is that those wrinkles, fine lines, and other imperfections may be erased by Bioessence.

Learn more about how you can be more beautiful, fast.

Bioessence has been around for nearly 2 decades. Celebrating their 17th year, this company has earned their excellent reputation in skin care by offering solutions for nearly every skin problem at affordable prices. And, if you compare their services, you would be delighted to discover that the price is very much lower than many other skin care centers in its class.

I would have spent most probably the rest of my lifetime never knowing that my skin problems would be solved with non-surgical methods if drinking coffee at Figaro, Pergola Mall, in BF Homes, didn't have an extra perk for a certain amount purchased, giving me Bioessence certificate that offered a choice of 3 services.

It was a Tuesday afternoon when I decide to wander into the Biossence BF Branch to get a facial. After filling up the standard form, the skin consultant brought me to the room, and she placed on the table an ultra-violet face scanner! Wow... it was amazing! This machine detects the skin problems scientifically - it's not a hit or miss- but a sophisticated assessment equipment that maps out the face for the skin consultant to know exactly what is wrong.

You have just got to visit any of their branches to try out ultra-violet face scanner during your 

free Bioessence skin consultation.

I have been to a lot of skin care centers before and have had a whole load of facials. So after the assessment was done, I decided to reschedule my facial for Thursday with the additional services of a diamond peel.

When I left Bioessence, I went to one of the other hangout places in Phase I, BF Homes. Much to my dismay, I ended up seeing a woman who was very abrasive in her attitude. She had on a ton of makeup daily because her skin was so awful with acne scars and fine lines, she has to cover it up. She said to me that I need to cut my hair rather than keep it tied up the Spanish style that I am used to. Argh! It was so irritating, as I just had so to hold my tongue as I wanted to tell her that instead of spending on makeup and going to the parlor, she has to get back to the basics and get good skin care.

I have good skin and I care for it so much, that I even studied cosmetology at TESDA. The makeup style nowadays is the natural look, wherein one uses BB creams and mineral makeup so the skin may shine through and breathe. The weather in the Philippines is one that makes it essential to have clear skin. And, not always may we wear makeup like when we are sleeping or at the beach, right?

I got my facial and diamond peel on Thursday, My skin shined with health and the glow of new skin revealed by the diamond peel. Unlike the other more costly diamond peel I had, Biossence was able to reduce the appearance of the dark circles under my eyes. 

And, look at the dead skin cells and what they got to extract! Yucky but who want those impurities on their face! 

I went back to that other coffee shop for that woman to see my beautiful clear and nearly wrinkle-free face. She stared at me astounded as I did not have a bit of makeup on.

A lot of other skin care centers ply you with advertising and tell you things like you will look 5 years younger. This is not the case with this company - but the results speak for themselves, as that day, as the woman was there, a male friend remarked that I look like I am 2 years younger with one diamond peel!

Look at the pretty ladies of Bioessence BF branch and see how their skin glows with health through gentle skin care.

If you want to be more beautiful, get down to the basics, and have healthy skin. Inquire today at any Bioessence branch and ask for a free skin consultation so that you will be assessed with the high-tech equipment that will show exactly what the problem is. 

I look forward to my next visit to this skin care clinic as I am also privileged enough to be one of the winners to their Meet and Greet event! I am so glad that I have Bioessence to care for me so I may have celebrity skin! 

A Berocca A Day Keeps Anxiety Attacks Away

In this hectic world, even staying home has daily stressors that may lead to anxiety, that ultimately - when left untreated, becomes an anxiety attack. These attacks, when happening frequently, becomes a panic disorder.

The signs that an anxiety attack is coming on are easily detected but one must have an awareness of what they are. These include lack of concentration, shortness of breath, a feeling of overwhelming sadness, and repetitive negative thoughts.

Anxiety can be cured. Anxiety isn't normal as worrying about what might happen, especially if these thoughts keep on repeating and it comes to a point where the fear of what is to come encompasses our lives, disrupts relationships, and makes us refuse to do things that others do... it is time to stop anxiety.

Here's a funny video of one of the ways to stop anxiety.

Half a lifetime ago, with the energy of youth, I wanted to be unstoppable. You might know the feeling - get to wake up early, tackle school, go out with friends to party all night, and go on without ever crashing from exhaustion.  Our group would compare the vitamins we take, and one day, in a drug store in Makati, I wandered in with my friend who wanted to buy Berocca.

After the virtues were extolled, I decided to buy one container that contained 10 large tablets that become an effervescent drink. I love watching the fizz transform! 

Here's my totally complete set of goodies that I won lately from the Berocca twitter promo. 

We have a saying that one should take Berocca to avoid getting berated. Berate meas that someone will rebuke or scold angrily and at length. Since we don't want to be that way, taking Berocca keeps our tongues in check as the attitude is that of no anxiety.

Anxiety attacks can be brought on by drinking caffeinated drinks like coffee and softdninks. The low happens after the boosting effect has gone - so one may end up drinking endless cups of coffee just to keep on being perked up.

Unlike Berocca, chocked full of minerals and stimulant-free, the power up is natural and lasts longer. When boost stays for a longer period of time because it make the body healthy and there is no 'let down' feeling.

Take a Berocca a day to keep the energy levels up. Be good to your body and have a healthy mind with a daily drink of Berocca.

Flirt Waxing Lounge - Pampering Beauty Services in the City

Flirt Waxing Lounge is a place to relax and enjoy being pampered. Located in 91 East Capitol Drive, Bo. Kapitolyo, Pasig, it might be a bit far for some of us but it is worth the trip.

I have read about their place because it was featured in Cosmopolitan and OK magazine, and was planning to go there one of these days so I found them on Facebook.

After liking their page, I decide to join their contest. Much to my surprise, I won! The Flirt Waxing Lounge package featured in this review is the one that I had won from their Facebook promo. This beauty package included waxing services, manicure and nail art, pedicure, foot spa, and a 30 minute foot massage.

I had to contact them to make reservations, and it was especially nice of them to say yes to allow the prize to be transferred to one of my daughters as I what I had won which I couldn't avail of because I was out of town, so as a thank you to them, we wrote this Flirt Waxing Lounge review.

Flirt Waxing Lounge Review

The place is spacious and the ambiance is good. Flirt Waxing Lounge was relaxing and hushed where you can have privacy. The place was purple, which made it relaxing. I was so glad that the management was so kind, that they said yes for me to exchange eyebrow and upper lip threading, was allowed to be changed for a bikini wax instead!

The Flirt Waxing Lounge staff were all nice and very good at their jobs. They all knew what they were supposed to do.

Their waxing area was private, and had a comfortable feel to it. The bikini wax that I availed of was painless, unlike all the others I had in other places - and because of this no-pain hair removal, I would definitely go back to get my waxing services there.

Flirt Waxing Lounge had long nice lounging couches, which made it more comfortable when I had my mani and pedi services. The footspa came with a cooling gel for moisturizer that stays on for at least 10 minutes and it was very invigorating, and the foot massage was one that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Flirt Waxing Lounge have a mini cafe that offers sandwiches, shakes and desserts, so that anytime you need to eat, there is food at a reasonable prices.

I love the place, the service, and their professionalism. I greatly recommend for anyone who want top-notch waxing services to make it a point to go to Flirt Waxing Lounge. ~M.P.D.~

Dad's EDSA Buffet: Filipino Restaurant Review

Dad's buffet is an eat-all-you can dream come true. There is nearly everything imaginable that the palate looks for, especially for the ones with more sophisticated taste. 

Parking is easy and there is valet parking available. The place has a hushed atmosphere like that of a hotel. Upon entering the front door, there is a small reception area, and another door to the left that leads to the main dining area. 

Dad's has many tables in their spacious main dining area. I am unsure of how many function rooms they have for private parties but the one I went to may easily accommodate 50 people. Unlike many Philippine restaurants, Dad's only offers their buffet and what I was informed as the grill-all-you-can that is located in the upper floor. The price for the buffet is at PHP 695 and the grill-all-you-can is slightly lower though I may not give specifics as I was unable to get more details as I was focused on the feast that was laid out. 

The buffet was expansive. From one wall to another wall, it was a display of mouth-watering dishes from Filipino specialties, barbecues, roasts, Spanish food, and Japanese. 

The center buffet tables where laden with the ingredients for a more than awesome halo-halo, a pasta area, and the sweet desert medley that was would make anyone break their diet.

The service was superb. And, the people who were portioning out the food would take extra effort to give a rundown of all that was laid out and make it a point to ask what part was preferred. And, I love the way their personnel aren't camera-shy.

Note: This review features only a few of the highlights as I was thoroughly enjoying the birthday celebration of my uncle that was held here.
