Luminisce's second home just opened near me!



As you all know, I'm a big fan of Dra. Kaycee. he's an amazing dermatologist who don't oversell her services. One of the classiest dermatologist who only provide effective treatments to her clients. So I was one of the happy clients to hear the great news she made Podium a second home!

You'd think that a pregnant woman like me has no business going to the dermatologist but it's actually the best course to do instead of scourging the counters for skincare to try. Pregnancy can be accompanied by many skin problems and seeing an expert may actually point you to a better and safer options.

Luminisce prides itself in its personalized services, to offer what is best for each of their clients. And that's exactly what she did for me, pregnant at 5 months when I visited her at her Podium clinic.

As a new mom herself, Dra. Kaycee knew exactly what I needed. With our skin changing during this blessed time, she recommend I do Luminisce' signature Luxury Facial for the face and Coquille Peel for the parts of the body affected by the skin darkening brought on hormonal changes during pregnanct.

Luxury Facial is an indulging facial procedure that is safe for expecting moms. It deep cleanses the pores and properly remove bacteria-causing acne and oil. Products used are safe for the skin and has moisturizing ingredients. Effects are radiant looking skin and minimised pores good up to 2 weeks!

It's a pain-free procedure that concentrates on letting the ingredients get absorbed onto the skin. Everything smells nice and not chemically. The relaxing massage allows for the products to seep on to my skin and at the same time lulled me to sleep. I was also treated to an oxygen facial that enlivens my skin.




Luxury facial requires use of some Luminisce exclusive machines but rest assured all is safe for expecting moms. First of which is a special machine with electric currents safely pass through the skin  to lift and revitalize it. And my favorite signature oxygenating machine with it's cool pressurized oxygen air hydrates and open the pores! It's amazing how good my skin feels after these!


My skin a few weeks after the treatment. No visible breakouts! This is highly unlikely for me because during this time on my last pregnancy, my skin was ridden with hormonal pimples. The cleansing effect of Luxury Facial stopped acne from forming. Excuse eye bags and crazy hair, I was working non-stop in a cafe. But even stressed, my skin looked radiant and clear!

Coquille Peel - safe peeling solution for the body!

When pregnant, your body also go through a lot of changes! That includes darkening of the underarms, neck and groin area. I was quite happy that Dra. Kaycee told me that I could get Coquille Peel which utilizes Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA's) that is safe to use even when expecting This natural exfoliating cocktail helps shed rough skin and restore moisture. As much as I love to celebrate my body when I'm pregnant, I'm not awfully happy with some of its changes and I'm glad I have a go to treatment that will help with it.

The result is still the body changing according to the needs of creating a human life but none of the dark skin brought by excess dry skin cells that augment the pigmentation of the body. If you are apprehensive, I suggest doing this even before conceiving as a way to prepare your body.

Coquille peel is pain-free, natural way using fruit acids to reduce skin pigmentation on the areas of the body prone to trauma. It takes only a few minutes to do this treatment. From application that take about 15 minutes to set, and the removal with a neutralizer liquid. You may do this every two weeks. Once after giving birth to help your body return to its natural shade. Avoid immediate and thorough sun exposure to allow the acids work.




I love talking to Dra Kaycee, she is for the most precious asset of Luminisce, aside from the fact that she ensures that her clinics are equipped with the best machines and designed in the poshest interiors. Luminisce has become a haven from all walks of life as long as youthful glowing skin is your goal. Now more accessible for to us with the newly opened Luminisce at the equally posh mall, Podium. 

If you are interested in finding out the best treatments for your skin concerns, Luminisce is best at personalizing your needs with their various skin procedures and treatments. They also have the best home care skin care regimen that will help with your skin rejuvenation.

Visit them at their newest clinic, The Podium! Or at Luminisce Fort.

But that isn't always the case.
I'm sharing with you my past few months and how my faith wavered in times I should be rejoicing. 

A few months ago I was on the journey of putting myself back together. It wasn't a secret that I didn't feel like my old self,  resulting to me letting go of myself and acquiring a disease, hypertension. It was a wake up a call to renew my life and I was on the road to being whole again...

The first week of knowing I was pregnant (I'm in my 6th Week) is so overwhelming. People congratulating me left and right gave me so much positive energy. I love how social network can help you reach out to so many people. Sharing your joys and your pains especially at my condition is such a blessing, really.

You see, I'd rather stay home all the time. I'm not functional in the morning. My morning sickness is an all-day sickness ranging from nausea, weakness and gas. Yes, I said gas. :) I'd rather be in my house clothes all day, in bed drinking chamomile tea and munching on crackers in bed. But that doesn't mean I want to completely cut myself off from the world. I'm grateful for Facebook messages that allows me to reach out to my friends and them to me and have a great chat about my pregnancy and what's going on with their lives.

I'm happy to have iMessage that I get to message Jheng about my condition and share with her how much I miss her. I even got to call my aunt in Jersey and tell her the good news without paying a cent.

My life lately has taken a 180 degrees turn. I have been checking out mommy blogs more than usual while reading more international fashion magazines on my iPad. All at the comfort of my bed... I feel like I'm growing but at the same time slowing down. Contradicting but kind of makes sense to me at the same time. I'm sure some of you can relate. My priorities have changed drastically... it's unnerving when I tried to take a step back and take a look at my life...

I haven't gotten around reading What to Expect When You're Expecting. I actually haven't had time to get me a copy at the nearest National Bookstore. What I have now is an ebook that a friend sent over my e-mail. Thanks, B! But I'm to lazy to start reading it yet. Please don't judge.

Being in my situation now is not a walk in the park. I have renewed respect for women who goes through pregnancy much worst than my condition now. Seriously, I don't feel well. It's like I ate something awful that continuously wants to come out and my body is just too weak to function. Let's include to that that my sense of smell is in chaos! I dislike almost every scent there is that washing my hair with my usual products is now an ordeal. Everything seems to bother me and the only time I can settle down is when I'm asleep. I am happy about this pregnancy but the hormones can do some Pacific Rim-like attacks.

I'm still trying to take control off it that I just give up and lie down in bed. Most of the time, I just feel really really lazy.

I have so much backlogs but I can't summon to write a single sentence about the newly opened Benefit Cosmetics Store in Trinoma, which I might add, is huge! All I can do now is microblog through twitter, facebook and instagram. Which is quite unfair for the brands that continuously support my blog. And most of all, it's unfair to you guys...

But I am trying. Really, I am... I have a lot in store for you, ladies!! Giveaway of newKube mp3player, share with you my Majolica Majorca Wow Brows How-to and reviews of Za cosmetics. Bobbi Brown will also be having a new location and I'll be sharing that as well. Sampleroom had their Thanksgiving party and workshop and I want to share with you my experience with that. Hopefully I get to accomplish them all this week, God willing.

Right now, I wish that you'd provide me your understanding and patience.. I'm still quite new with this whole pregnancy and how I can take control of it to get back to the regular programming. But at the same time, allow me to enjoy the mindlessness that's taking over me at the moment.

If you've been wondering what's keeping me away from writing on this blog and sharing with you some awesome beauty stuff... Well, at first, I thought that my lethargic, nauseous state was just brought on by PMS... But as days went by that my period failed to make an appearance, I knew there was something going on inside my body that is far from what it has experienced in the past.

I suspected that I might be
