Stress Chronicles: Office Desk Staples

I’m introducing a new segment called the Stress Chronicles. I haven’t completely ironed out the details, but it’ll feature any work-related whatnots: what’s on my desk, what’s in my colleague’s makeup kits, my musings about what corporate people are wearing, where they go to de-stress. Most of it will be beauty and fashion related, of course, with a touch of  lifestyle (food, drink, activities, places and how many bottles of beer can my colleagues consume).

So, anyway.

I was having a rather slow morning, which was probably the result of sleeping early last night. I was out cold by 8pm. Gasp. Since I have this perpetual itch to fix and arrange things, I find cleaning my workstation, to be rather cathartic. And face it: less clutter, less stress.

Review: Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal and Milk Scrub

Unlike some of my peers (I’m 25), I’m not – and never was – big on going out every Saturday night. I never really saw the appeal of a boisterous crowd and the headache-inducing noise. I’d rather curl up in bed with a good read or catch up on movies and TV series. Or sleep.

And for the sake of vanity, Saturday night is when I lock myself in the bathroom for an extended bath routine since usually, I’m too exhausted every night to do more than my normal bedtime activities.

One staple in my Saturday night routine:

It’s no secret that I have dry skin. So when I won a jar of Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal & Milk Whitening Scrub at the raffle draw during their Bloggers Event, I guess we were meant to be together. Haha. >> Read More

X-Post: Snoe Meets the Bloggers

SNOE MEETS THE BLOGGERS
December 05, 2011

Though there is a plethora of available products dedicated to skin care or beauty, finding one brand that caters to every need remains to be elusive. So when two women, who claimed to have tested almost every product (from the cheapest to the most expensive) that is in the market, cannot find what they’re looking for in one brand, they made their own.

They conceptualized a brand, proudly pinoy-made, that would offer a wide variety of skin care and cosmetic products at reasonable prices. After over a year of being released into the local market, bazaar veteran Snoe Beauty Inc. is fast becoming a key player in the industry.

Event: Bloggers United 2, Moonlit, Snoe Beauty

Had a long, exhausting but really awesome day as I was running around the Makati/Taguig area today. Dropped by Bloggers United 2 (at Treston International College in Global City), checked out Beauty and Minerals / Digital Traincase / Beauty PRO Cosmetics at Moonlit Bazaar in Rockwell and, despite the utter lack of food in my system and this crazy December heat, attended the bloggers event by Snoe Beauty Inc.

And to add to my backlog (haha), I have a massive haul from today’s events!

Went to visit Liz at the Ferretti booth in Bloggers United 2 and can I just say that the place was packed with people! Got this:

Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic

Dropped by Moonlit afterwards. Saw the usual suspects and immediately I gravitated towards Digital Traincase and Beauty and Minerals and Beauty PRO Cosmetics. I bought yet another brush (no judgement) — the uber soft and dense Charm Vegan Powder Brush from Sophie herself.

And at the Snoe Garden Tea Party for bloggers, we made lots of chika with established and aspiring bloggers, played with their product samples, had yummy food and was given a generous loot bag by the lovely ladies of Snoe. I can’t wait to play use these!

Snoe goodies

Detailed reviews to come soon. While I road test the goodies I got from today, I really have to work on my back log. Really. Yeah. Must do that.

EDIT: WordPress just told me that this is my 90th post! Gunning for the 100th… say, by this week? Who knows, I might even have giveaways!
