REVIEW: NATURE REPUBLIC Soothing and Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

I am so glad that there's a Nature Republic store near our place. Every time I pass by the shop, I have this urge to buy at least something. I know my husband will hate me for this. ^^


And here's one of my 'impulsive buys' - the Nature Republic 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. 

Let's start with the basics: 

*Product Name: Nature Republic Soothing and Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel (name's a bit long!) 

*Content: 300ml (It's really big!)
*Packaging: Comes in a big plastic jar. 
*Price: PhP 245 (this is the real reason why I bought this. It was cheap!) 

Nice to know that there is an English translation for the directions and the ingredients. :) 

REVIEW: Nature Republic Collagen Dream 70 Emulsion and 90 Skin booster [Trial Set]

I am glad to be back for a product review. ;) 

When I went to Nature Republic to buy something four months ago, they gave me samples of Nature Republic Collagen Dream 70 Emulsion and 90 Booster. 

I just tried it three weeks ago and finished the trial set last week. 


And here's a quick review of the products: 

My Black and White Affair: The Wedding Ring - Matus Jewellery Review

(Note: I am not paid to do this review nor a paid promotion.  I am just sharing my experiences through this blog. Enjoy reading!)


I am not a fan of jewelries. 
I love make-up and BB Cream but not jewelries. I love sneakers but not jewelries. I love cakes, ice cream, cheesecake and sweets, but not jewelries.

Same goes with my husband. He is not into wearing anything that is "shining, shimmering, splendid".  

That's why when my husband and I were trying to shop for a wedding ring, we looked for a simplest wedding rings we could find.

My co-worker told me to go to Ongpin and recommended a shop where her mom usually buys jewelries.I have read a lot of good reviews about the wedding rings from Ongpin. I've read that the jewelry there are affordable. Unfortunately, I had two concerns. First, I do not have any idea how to go to Ongpin and I have never been there. My husband and I were both working and we spend our weekends preparing for the wedding.  Going to Ongpin means we have to spend the whole day just to look for wedding rings. Second, my husband and I are both amateurs when it comes to jewelry. 

So again, I had to ask help from my bestfriend, Mr. Google. After reading threads, blogs, and countless reviews, I saw Matus Jewellery.

My Black and White Affair: The Suit and the Gown - Divisoria Gowns and Suits Review

I know I am kinda late for my reviews regarding my wedding suppliers but I just want to share where my husband got his suit and my wedding gown. 

Aside from the wedding venue, what made my head spin were the wedding gown and the groom's suit.

I really did not want to spend a lot on a dress that I will wear only for a few hours. So I had two options: 

a. Rent a gown 
b. Buy a gown from the ever-famous Divisoria. 


Together with my bestfriend, Mr. Google, I did some research to check out which option was better. I also tried calling several shops just to check out all the possibilities. Here's what I found out: 


Pros of renting a wedding gown and a suit: 
1. Designs - the designs are just amazing :) The wedding gowns looked like they were made by famous designers. Of course most shops copied designs from the internet but honestly, the wedding gowns look pretty. Same goes to the suit. 

2. No need to dry clean, the shop will do that for you.
