Bucky's not a Brownie

 
I first saw this on Instagram and the name made me curious of how it's gonna taste.
 
Then by fate, I got a chance to have a taste of this wonderful creation.
 
 
 
 
Not overwhelmingly sweet, chewy enough that you want to get another bite.
 
This box did not last that long on our fridge, which could only mean we ALL loved it.
 
Don't just take my word for it. Experience and Enjoy!
 
You can check out Bucky’s website, like Bucky’s on Facebook, and follow Bucky’s on Tumblr and on Instagram.
 
For orders, you can get in touch with Miguel Vargas at 0917 844 5104 or at miguel@buckysnotabrownie.com.

good for the soul


This year i have finally accomplished a goal -- fasting for the Lenten Season. 

I am giving up eating rice until easter sunday as I take penance and pray for guidance. 

I feel good about being able to this exercise to discipline myself and offer a little bit of my being human to God. 

Thank you God for the opportunity to do this, my spirits are up and full of positivity. 

next year i might give up Coffee *we'll see*

bag lady?


I like this as it reminds me of the Celine luggage bag. 

I've put hold on ordering this as I think this is not a good time to buy another bag when my Lola had given me two bags for pasalubong last Christmas. 



This would be also be nice to use everyday for the office. Looks simple and smart


And this one is a fun-nice-to-have bag for summer or when you just want to feel young and hip. Haha

to be and feel like a royal


I once read somewhere that you dont have to spend on a lot to make you feel rich. Simple and pretty things does the trick for me to feel GRAND. 

Like you can eat the most simplest food on the most pretty plate or silverware. 

Been stalking these Royal Albert teacups for a while now online. And i have been trying my luck to bid on to Paper Straw Love on IG every friday! 

For now let me just stare at these beauties. Haha

You'll be mine! (Claiming it)

oil power


I have sensitive skin. The kind of skin which does not retain moisture like most skin. Having so made me love oils. Because oil is easily absorbed by my skin and leaves the moisture longer than most lotions.

I discovered EMU oil through a bazaar several years back, V&M Naturals has a line of EMU products. I used them on my rashes ( the ones I get when my skin is not moisturized or when I'm stressed), with several use, it left no mark and my rashes were gone.
It's kinda pricey though, but if you have sensitive skin, most products are pricey.

When I was pregnant ARGAN oil was introduced to the Philippine market. I remember having to search on this on google and was easily sold on "safe for pregnant women, best to prevent stretch marks"
I got mine in Alex Carbonel's Fix Salon in Greenbelt 5, another pricey one but its worth it.
Its non greasy, easily absorbed by the skin and unlike the EMU oil it smells great!
I use this on my face and my C-section scar, no dreams of  making this disappear, but at least this makes it smoother.

The most affordable yet effective oil that I've tried is the Sunflower oil from Human Heart Nature.
I gave this as a Christmas present two years ago and my friends loved it. For some it lightened their skin, its great as a make up remover and its recommended for under eye care.
I even use this for my daughter as a moisturizer at night for her legs and toes.

There's another oil I love to use, no picture on hand, so will try to write about it on my next post

Ciao!
