When Benefit Cosmetics Philippines invited me to their event a week ago to meet Jared Bailey, I learned that he's called the Global Brow Expert! How he got that name got me curious. Well, he's licenced aesthetician and he made it his life mission to make every women's brows But seriously, this brow genius is actually the International Spokesperson of Benefit's Global Services. And he came over all the way from SanFo to share with us his neat tips and tricks on how to create a spectacular pair of brows.

His adorable tips:

1. Brows are sisters, not twins.
2. Arch is important!
3. Have your brows groomed by an expert and by that he meant, visit the nearest Benefit counter to have your brows fixed by Benebabes he himself trained! :)

Simple tricks to live by when doing our brows, right? Brow Mapping at its finest, Benefit has perfected creating he perfect arches and taming the lioness brows we Pinay tend to have (if yours is not, I envy you!). Now, before you jump out of your computer or put down your phones to do yours to go and get your brows done, I have more news from Benefit! Read on!

It's almost 11 in the evening... I have a 38.8 fever and my throat is sore. I'm watching a rerun of Grey's Anatomy while I play with Sims Freeplay on my brand-spanking new iPad 4. But despite all these, there's one thing I can't get my mind off....

I'm craving for Ilocos Empanada! But not just any Ilocos Empanada. I want the authentic one! For a while now, I've been on hunt for the real thing. One that reminds me of my hometown.


If you're hungry and have a hankering for something savory, you've been warned. It's gunna be all Empanada from here on!

The boyfriend and I decided to hit Manila's latest hot spot, IHOP (International House of Pancakes). Having been introduced to this place through some of the shows I watched and of course, people I know from the States who compares it to our own, Pancake House.

We visited IHOP at 7:30 a.m. and got seated right around 8 a.m. Not too bad of a wait since it was their second day of opening.


Review will start not with the food but with the service. Watching Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen and my current favorite Kitchen Nightmares, I've learned that the reception area is vital in making a restaurant a success. I believe that IHOP relies on the fact that they are currently a hype right now that they have allowed their frontliner to fall behind the service. I only speak from experience but I didn't like at all how agitated and frequently consulting each other the two girls were when we came in and asked to be seated.

It wasn't how I wished to start my day, especially having had no food in my system. I was irritated to put it mildly. And I wasn't alone. There were several patrons who I observed were disappointed with how the two receptionists handled the seating reservation.

But I didn't want that to ruin my day. Base on the photos and reviews of a lot renowned food bloggers, the food are must try. 

But was it?

Zen Zest. I love that name. What is a zen life when is there is no zest?

Like its owner, the brand is full of life (aka varieties), a once a few collection of perfumes grew into quite an impressive number to cater to every Filipina and Filipino's whims. This time, we were acquainted with their Cocktail and Sparkling Sugar Collection. Mango Tree Bistro as the restaurant and the cupcakes as desserts  were indeed the best way to celebrate the relaunch of these products. Mango Tree with it's classy vibe that invites you to taste the exotic cuisine that is Thai while the cupcakes makes the sweet cherry on top at conclusion of the event.
