I want to make it a point to write here every Wednesday :-) (hah, but uploaded it only now... with missing fotos to boot!)
August 7 was the day the skies decided that several parts of Luzon was either severely dehydrated or needed a good washing. Torrential rains submerged more than 80% of Metro Manila and other areas.
I was in the office very early that day for a meeting (which was cancelled...), and was happy when they called off work. I hitched a ride with my Dad to the Fort where he had a meeting. I decided to wait for him at Market! Market!
How I missed Market! :-) This was my playground when I was still a part time employee and pregnant with Tonyo. I went for the free wifi, walking exercise across Market! , Serendra, and Bonifacio High Street... to browse Digital Hub, Merrell, Bayo, Plains and Prints, Fashion Market , Japan Home... and of course, Healthway! My favorite photo printing shop is also there,
But my favorite parts of Market! are my kikay digs: Lay Bare Waxing Salon and California Nails Day Spa. I was quite surprised with their newer , bigger premises. They are still both on the 3rd floor. California Nails had a spanking new layout , and Lay Bare has moved next door with more spacious stalls.
Another treat for me that day were freshly baked Bibingkinitans for lunch. I just love those tiny bibingkas! Way better snack than Krispy Kremes! Pair it with a cup of steaming hot Batangas Barako coffee and you will be proud to be Pinoy ;-)
On my way to my favorite organic store , Sesou -- I saw another new kiosk (1st floor main hall) , Snoe Beauty. They are a local organic beauty product brand, and what caught my attention was their packaging -- looked soo much like Benefit! Their products are mostly whitening stuff, and the lady was quite surprised when I said I wanted to try something that's NOT whitening.
Their products looked so yummy !! Since I was familiar with the benefits of Emu Oil (from my addiction for V & M Naturals products, www.venusandmars08.multiply.com) , I decided to try their Emuthology facial wash (small bottle for Php199.00). I was so tempted to buy more stuff, but I just placed an order for Emu shampoo with V & M, so buying hair stuff from Snoe would have to wait.
I'm very happy with my current face soap, Beauche Beauty Bar , because it keeps my face smooth and pimple-free. But I need to alternate it with something else because since it's a papaya/ kojic soap -- it whitens my face too much and I don't like that. I've used Snoe for 2 days now and I like its smell and the fresh clean feeling. Will do a product review soon!
That's it for my Rainy Day loot and my Wannabi Wednesday!
