Got Some Time?

We always take the time to pamper ourselves, especially during bath time.

Personally, I love to use shower gels with scents that I love, and enjoy the sudsy produce of my trusted sponge lily. I don't know if it's just me - I love moisturizing soaps - but nothing beats the comfort and luxury of a bath gel and lily.

The Not-so Impossible Dream

They say, unicorns only exist in the fantasy world and in fairy tales.

Well, I'm so happy that unicorns exist in the blogging world. And these unicorns dream!

Unicorns Dream, also known as Denise in the real world, also known as the brain child behind Love Naturals, is celebrating her birthday month with a box full of surprises. I can now see how lucky the winner will be. I can only hope.

Yes, that box is full! And overflowing, if I may add :) Just read and absorb what's inside -

Thank You, Mister Donut and KFC

My family had a great time, thanks to Mister Donut. I was one of the winners in their Missing Lyrics Contest in Facebook. One random winner was drawn daily for a limited time last April.

Lucky me, I was the winner for the final day. It was a perfect post-birthday treat, and I was able to share it with more family and friends. We were able to enjoy Snack Boxes from KFC, my favorite Garden Salad and of course, the famous KFC gravy.

My big thanks to Mister Donut and Ramcar.

You might want to try their latest offering - Mister Donut Twist - available in Rocky Road, Cookies n' Cream at Choco Wafer.

Beauty Treats from Shen's Addiction

I was reading through Shen's Twitter and realized how dedicated she is to improve her skin, thereby benefiting all her blog readers. And she's now celebrating 3 years online. And I quote:

Readers, would it be so bad that i admit i don't test products just for you but mainly because i want to improve my skin? :) hehehe! Quite honesty beauty blogging is a very personal thing for me. If i want to test something, i need to be sure that i have the means to cure my skin reactions.. Else, i wouldn't try a product at all. After all, receiving free stuff doesn't come with a medical insurance to pay for my derma:) same goes for when i buy my own stuff to try out. treat me as friend who's just sharing my thoughts on my latest finds :)

Happy Blog Birthday, Beautynomics!

It's year 5 for this pretty beauty blogger, Sophie, the icon behind
Beautynomics and Beauty and Minerals, among others.

And what anniversary is without the shower of generosity from Sophie
and her kind sponsors? This year, 9 sponsors bring us lots of prizes
to enjoy!

Lipstick Lover Wants to Blush

This mama (and gramma) loves lipsticks!

Yes, I admit to that vanity. And at each purchase, I get 3 differing colors. With such quantity at each buy, I get to stock quite a number. And I throw some to the bin with such hesitancy as soon as they reach expiration or smell and taste funny.

But I will confess though that blushes make me afraid. I put on some, but rare are those times. I haven't quite perfected the art to it. And I say it's never too late to learn, right?

Kumiko Mae meets House of Flair

Do you see this loot? Thank goodness for House of Flair. You can get this if you join Kumiko Mae's Favorite Things Giveaway.

The prize consists of 8 items: 1 Sephora To Go Clutch in Black; 1 MAC Lipglass in Frozen Dream;

Coffee Addict wants some Starbucks

I just met Maver online. By reading her blog. I love the term Haligilet. And I want to greet her Happy 37th!

You may greet her as well, and you'll get a chance to win in her raffle. A set of Starbucks items are up for grabs for her first Freebie Friday.

Lots of Birthdays, Lots of Blessings

Earth, for being a great mom, sister, daughter and friend to those close to you, for being a staunch advocate for your beliefs, for being kikay and sharing the same to all your fans and readers - may your blessings be multiplied a hundred-fold.

With the overflowing gratitude of the author of Earthlingorgeous.com, Earth gives back by hosting this giveaway, with about 33,000 pesos in prizes! That's enough for you to drool, stop and follow Earth and her social networks. Mind you, you won't regret it. Her daily quips will inspire and educate you. Take it from me.

Define Sassy. Get Lucky.

I love to cook. And I love to eat. But I love it most when my fellow diners are full and happy with the food served. I haven't been able to browse a lot of food blogs though. I hope to. Might add a little "spice" to my cooking. How do I make my cooking "sassy"?

Define Sassy. According to Merriam-Webster, sassy means distinctively smart and stylish, vigorous, lively, impudent. Hhmm.

Let me tell you though that Sassy Chef is feeling generous and will end her 2010 by giving away a couple of great finds.

A Thank You from Faye

The Happy Wife or Faye is very happy with the success of her blog and her blog contests. What more to do to celebrate this is, yes, hold another giveaway! Lucky for me, and all her readers, local and international.

Don't look away now, but she's giving away 3 great items:

Fairer Skin, More not Less

I'm a gramma in my golden years, my utmost concern now is minimizing age spots and deep-set lines. I've been through peeling, skin discoloration, even acne in my younger years. But I am over all of that now. My regimen involves maintaining my skin with moisturizers and hydrating essences. We hear age defy, age defense and anti-aging products now, they're the hype. And all for good measure. Around the world, it's the time for baby boomers, and everywhere!

I look around me and I see fair-skinned Pinays - natural and otherwise. Media is such an influence. And even when I don't look around me, I see it in my daughter, my daughter-in-law, my nieces, even my younger friends and former colleagues. It's the IN thing. Maybe no longer the most novel thing for me, but still, to some extent, fairer skin seems to be THE ultimate.

I do say to the younger ones in my family - be content with your own skin shade and wear your skin as you would your clothes. Your skin is your best fasion accessory! And I do, but I will succumb to the fact that even at my age, fairer skin may be beneficial to even out my darker spots with my natural skin color. Like Earthlingorgeous I want 50x more fairer skin.

Golden Things for a Golden Woman

 

Can a woman in her golden years have these please? I am joining this online contest my dear son told me about. He's trying his chances as a surprise for a special someone in his life. Maybe I should tell him he should win this for me too, hahaha. Thank you to Phoebe Ann for her great November contest.
