The Lifestyle Wanderer

Starbucks Philippines has taught of the best possible way to kick off the new year! On their 20th anniversary, they surprised everyone with different earth dog merchandise to prepare for the lunar new year celebration.

Being a coffee and doggie lover combined, imagine my smile from ear to ear when this package came in the mail! One of the best packages I've ever received. Add to that the fact that I was born on the year of the dog! #quotana 😍


WAFER ROLLS


A returning favorite, I first saw the Starbucks Wafer Rolls on the same season last year. But this time, aside from coming up with a textured packaging and puppy illustration, the Starbucks Wafer Rolls now has three flavors: coffee, matcha, and hojicha. Don't let me choose which among the three I like the most because everything's just amazing. 😛

I wasn't a fan of Korean cuisine until I got a chance to try Ye dang in Pasig (Korean BBQ restaurant) a few weeks before I left for Seoul. Since then, I counted the days until my flight to Korea just so I can finally try their authentic food selections.


Seoul introduced me to their wide array of food options, from their local street food, their adaptation of global fast food chains, their Korean BBQs (of course!), to their mouthwatering cafe desserts.

Check out the simple documentation of my 5 day food crawl at South Korea:

The scorching hot nowadays makes me long for another staycation in the metro. The heat makes me so unproductive at home because a single move already makes me feel icky. Do you feel the same? 😣


This reminds me of another great staycation I've had a couple of weeks ago at The Linden Suites in Ortigas. Located in a prime location (it's a few blocks away from SM Megamall!), the hotel provides a quick escape within the busy streets of Metro Manila.

FINAL Linden Suites - Earth Hour - 2950

I wasn't exactly sure where the hotel is located so I let the Uber driver used Waze to navigate us. Little did I know that we were directed to the back entrance of the hotel, which was also nice because the tall buildings beside Linden Suites provided nice shades in the street.

The wooden walls and lavish tiles spoke to its year of existence: timeless and grand. The lobby is not as big as the ones in other hotels which is why people easily fill the entire ground floor.

Enchanted Kingdom is probably old news for those who have visited the theme park already. Thanks to our school's field trip itinerary, we can tell that we've been to the Philippines' theme park that's closest to Disneyland. hihi


My recent trip to Enchanted Kingdom is my third visit already. I am not expecting so much because I think I've probably enjoyed every single ride during my first two visits. However, going to this theme park with a different set of clique recently made me realize that this place is worth visiting again. <3

I ultimately belong to the lazy girls club who stick to one shade of nude lipstick until I finish a whole tube. You will rarely see popping colors on my makeup stash like vibrant pink nor dark shades like plum.


This time around, I guess Maybelline wanted to challenge me by sending the all-new popping shades from the Color Sensational's Vivid Matte Lipstick Collection. Staring at the pink and plum vibrant shades that this lipstick has, I thought to myself that these are not my colors. Yet the adventurer in me spoked and said, "why not give them a try?". That's the reason why this blog post is born. Hihi <3

Just to give you an idea, Color Sensational's Vivid Matte Lipstick collection previously released 4 fun, vibrant shades last summer. This line of lipstick promises long-wear matte formula and I'm excited to see how it will look on me.

I always wonder why my mom is such a fan of Petroleum Jelly since I was young. I admit it, I use to not like this product because of its slimy texture. Little did I know that this product can do wonders to my skin.
