Diet Diva

Image
It's been a while since I last posted. The holiday season had really been a busy season for me. Aside from not having time to shop for myself, I had no time to go to the gym as well. I am on a plus size and I had to work doubly hard than most people so that I will at least not gain weight. But with tons of parties at home, I reached my much dreaded obese numbers. Argh!! And to add to my weight problem,  I had already requested freezing of my gym membership for 4 months starting January 2014 since I have travel schedules. This is when I decided to try healthy food delivery service where menus are prepared based on targeted caloric intake for the day - 1200 calories/day. I booked  @ DIETDIVAPH  for this week (Monday to Friday). I received my food at around 6:00-6:30 am daily. I wasn't expecting much but I was quite happy with the taste of the food. I ended up eating everything and actually enjoying it. I am on my 5th day and so far, I lost 4 lbs. I wasn't very ...

Naturactor

Image
I have been told that this product is being used by a lot of celebrities. Of course, I couldn't pass this up, I just have to give it a try. :) I bought one Naturactor cover face from georginasasha  for P650 inclusive of shipping fee. Since this is a product that I'll apply on  my skin, I didn't want to take a risk of buying from someone I am not familiar with in IG (Instagram) and getting a non-authentic item. I have previously purchased a BB Cream from @georginasasha so I decided on getting this one from her as well. I chose #140 as I have fair to medium skin that is a bit on the yellowish side. Bare skin (only with moisturizer) 1st layer of Naturactor 2nd layer of Naturactor Personally, I like the natural look so I would go with only 1 thin layer for my everyday use. But if you need more coverage, you may always add another layer.
