Skincare and Revage Review

I am a late-bloomer when it comes to skincare.  Thankfully, I haven't had serious skin issues so visits to the dermatologist were non-existent for most of my life.  Even when I started working, I did not go for facials or what-not.  I've stuck to a very simple skincare routine - exfoliating facial wash, moisturizer and added sunblock fairly recently.  I still don't have brand/product loyalty at this point because I just like trying different things.

Richard, on the other hand, is the veteran.  He encouraged me to have regular facials (I know, I'm a lucky girl) but I've been resisting it (he's a lucky guy) because they're not cheap, no?  I would rather get a massage than a facial... Last year, his suking clinic offered discounted rates for prepaid services so we bought a package.  That was the start of my almost-regular facial treatments.  I do not really notice the significant aesthetic improvements but doing something for yourself does feel nice.  I understand why people can get so invested in it.

Current set of products

Nowadays, there are so many different things you can do regarding skincare.  A lot of clinics offer deals on services and they're quite affordable and enticing especially if you just want to try things out.  I would usually check the location first (must be close) and then the price (not too low because service might not be good, you still get what you pay for).

I had diamond peel done at Revage back in February and was really impressed with them so when they offered oxygen jet peel, we bought 5!  Richard and I used the first two in April and I used the last three ON the expiry date.  Note to self: check validity dates and plan ahead!

Revage is located in Seibu Tower at Bonifacio Global City.  The place is really well-designed, which is one thing I am easily impressed with.  A lot of clinics do not pay a lot of attention to presentation but this one does.


Part of the package is skin analysis which is done by taking a series of high-tech pictures of your face to analyze pores, pigmentation, sebum and moisture.  That was really cool.  I now know that I don't have a lot of pores under my right eye and pigmentation is becoming a problem, thus the sunblock.

The people who work there are also very courteous and attentive to your needs.  They explain the procedures, let's you know what is being done and just makes you feel comfortable during the whole process.  So, I highly recommend them.=)

This week's notable links are related to world population.  I tend to be interested in a subject, read about it and discover these links. 7 Billion on National Geographic .  Special series on the world's 7B population, with stories and discussions.  They have a counter of world population as well. 7 Billion Actions .  A site where anyone can upload a story, highlighting positive action.  I was checking through the site and was encouraged by all the good work that people do.  Really, we can be hopeful.  It's just a pity that only the sensational negative stories get highlighted in the media.  Positive stories are found right here.  And thanks to the internet for making this possible. What's Your Number?   7 billion is an overwhelming number.  This site let's you enter your birthday and plots you on the population chart and identifies your specific number (datapoint).  Of course this is not perfect and employs some algorithm to estimate where you are on the cha

It's Not Complicated: Samson and Delilah, Ruth and Boaz

Image
The last two topics for the preaching series on love entitled 'It's Not Complicated' were on Samson and Delilah, and Ruth and Boaz. ( Podcast here ) Samson and Delilah .  The story of Samson and Delilah can be found in Judges 13.  Before Samson was born, his mother was visited by an angel who said to her, "You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razorbecause the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”  Samson was destined to lead and deliver Israel from its enemies.  But we know that his life was far from simple.  He made personal decisions that changed the course of his life, including marrying Delilah, which eventually led to his death.  It's a tragic story and Pastor Joe explained why it happened to Samson - wrong place, wrong standard, wrong person. Samson, although he was set apart as a Nazirite, spent time in Philistin

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Image
Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget. I very rarely reread books so most of my collection just sit on the shelf after I'm done with them.  I feel it's a waste of precious trees if they are not shared with others.  So I started a Google doc at work where the team can list down their collections and anybody interested in
