My Skincare Journey : Introduction

Writing this on September 22, 2023: In my journey of self-reinvention, it's essential to focus on self-care, and that includes taking care of your skin. Whether you're a 25-year-old single mother or anyone looking to rejuvenate their appearance and boost their self-confidence, investing in skincare is a fantastic way to start.


 I don’t want to be called “losyang” anymore. 


It is where you've reached a point where you feel like you've let go of self-care and allowed the "losyang" label to define you. This term, often used to describe someone who has stopped making an effort to take care of themselves, can feel like a heavy weight to carry.


I don’t have any skin care, skin essentials or even vitamins that I drink. I don’t even get 8 hours of sleep but I am determined to change that part of me.


This photo was taken on September 21, 2023, with my cousin, her boyfriend, and Jeremy, who kindly helped me clean the house and rewarded ourselves by eating Samgyupsal which is another different story. 




Moving forward, I'm excited to start on a new journey – a blog about skincare, where I'll document what works and what doesn't for me. Remember, self-care isn't selfish; it's an act of self-love, and your skin deserves that love too.


The goal of my upcoming skincare blog is to explore the basics and gain a better understanding of skincare, especially for beginners like me who have no idea where to start. Currently, my toiletry essentials consist of a simple soap, primarily for its antibacterial properties (#SAFEGUARD)


My aim? To achieve a lighter, more even skin tone across my body. I'm looking to maintain a youthful appearance and prevent the formation of fine lines. To say goodbye to my pesky under eye-bags and, of course to say goodbye to acne. Ultimately, I want to rejuvenate my skin by removing damaged skin cells.


This is just the beginning of my skincare journey, and I invite you to join me as I learn, experiment, and share my experiences. I'll be sharing my personal skincare adventures, product reviews, tips, and the lessons I will learn along the way. Join me on this path to healthier, more radiant skin, and let's embrace the beauty of self-care together. Together, we can redefine our self-worth and break free from labels like 'losyang,' nurturing our skin and spirit with the love and care we deserve.

Honest opinion about Cubo De Bernardo

Cubo De Bernardo is a bed and breakfast located in Silang Cavite, offering a provincial life staycation. Here's my honest experience from our stay on September 30, 2023: Staffs are so nice & helpful! You can't say anything about them because they give you their 100% excellent service They offer four rooms, and initially, we opted for the largest one. However, after experiencing some discomfort and itchiness, we decided to switch to another room. Interestingly, our cousins, occupying the other two rooms, also encountered similar itchiness. Opting for a different room seemed to be the solution. Unfortunately, the next morning, we discovered that, we got a lot of bites!!  It was exclusive but since there was two exclusive room. We can hear the music/sound from the other room. Thankfully, none of us brought speakers, so the sounds wouldn't contradict.  We've allocated a total of 6,000 pesos for our group of six, which covers the accommodation and breakfast—a fantastic d...

Cubo De Bernardo ( My POV)

Our Cubo De Bernardo Staycation Jem invited me to go to La Union for me to be able to take a break from the mother life, but given our history. I wanted to tag my cousins along. I found a huge discounted cottage that is good for 6 pax yet amounted to 2500/night which compared to other rooms was a bit affordable.  I contacted them and they informed me that they weren't available since they we're working and I told them I wanted to come with them since I was upset that I wasn't available when they went to Puerto Galera.  I really want them to tag along but they weren't really available and because I understand how hard it is to be working. I understand the situation but they did informed me that instead of going to LU or PG, how about we look for a staycation instead for a different date.  After numerous of tiktok post, while on videocall. We have come to a decision to book Cubo De Bernardo.  Originally, we we're entice by the 3,799 pesos for 4 pax. I messaged the pag...

Facing my insecurities

As days passed by, I felt so lost and as I felt this. I became more insecure of myself and in this matter, things were different from me.  Have you ever had those days when getting out of bed felt like an insurmountable task? Days when eating seemed impossible because it felt like a form of self-inflicted pain? Times when your lack of happiness led to neglecting self-care, leaving you utterly exhausted and feeling like a total wreck? If you ever said " YES " to any of those questions, then we are the same. I often get called lazy by my mother but I just can't tell her that I had no more will to live, that my thoughts have become so dangerous that it's damaging my productivity and losing myself to something I can't even understand.  However,  I wanted to make a stand for myself and fight. I can't lose my life to my thoughts and my feelings then I looked at the mirror and saw this insecure girl who had absolutely no-one to hug her on times she can't fight bu...
