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.=)

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

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 anybod...

Trivia and Reading

Image
I am currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and I am inspired.  It’s about the author’s year-long quest to be happier.  It’s purposeful and practical and has lot of tips that I can apply or have started doing. Rubin focused on different areas every month and for May, it was Be Serious About Play.  The author was trying to go back to activities she enjoyed as a child. This led me to also think about a favorite childhood pastime, which was collecting trivia.  The Philippine Daily Inquirer used to run a trivia section by Bong Barrameda and I would religiously cut and paste them onto scratch papers, which I would then collate and read again and again.  Nerd zone! Not only that, I also kept a trivia notebook where I researched and wrote down interesting information like areas of study, capital cities, historical figures, scientists and discoveries, everything!  That was fun for me.  I was about to say they were useless info, ...

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer

Image
There is something to be said for collective recommendations like bestsellers list.  I found this title on such list at Fully Booked, read a few pages and decided to buy it.  I was intrigued by the theme of the book which is memory, specifically, how the author started as a journalist covering the US Memory Championships and ended up as a contender in the finals of the same competition one year later. It claims that with proper training, one's memory can be improved to be at par with the top mental athletes of the world.  Memory training has become an esoteric discipline because we practically do not need to remember a lot these days.  Information is very easy to retrieve from electronic devices and what not.  You just need basic search terms and the Google provides the information you need and more. Photo from Rainy Day Books I have to admit I rely on external memory a lot.  I can recall birthdays of my very close family members but outside of tha...
