Theo & Philo Dark Chocolate with Green Mango & Sea Salt

I'm not a big chocolate lover but whenever I do crave for some, I always go for dark chocolate since it is healthier than milk chocolate. I recently discovered an artisan chocolate brand that makes high quality chocolate. The best part is that it's "the only bean to bar chocolate from the Philippines."

Cup of Tea: Twinings Apple, Cinnamon and Raisin Tea

On cold nights, all I really want to do is curl up under my blanket and drink a warm, cozy drink. While hot chocolate may be the drink of choice for some, I prefer to cozy up with some tea. One of my favorite cold night tea happens to be the Twinings Apple, Cinnamon and Raisin Tea. It tastes like sweet, apple flavored iced teas without the artificial sugar taste. It’s fruity from the apple, gets its sweetness from the raisin flavor, and the cinnamon is just so comforting. I also love that it's caffeine free so it's perfectly fine to have it before bedtime. It's really a great drink if you're looking for a delicious, fruity, sweet tea. 

And I think my little sheep cup is the cutest thing for a bedtime drink. It even has numbers inside the rim for counting sheep until you fall asleep. I don't know if anyone really does that, but I think it's just so adorable!

Enchanted Farm Cafe

It's no secret that I love to eat. I love eating out mainly for the experience of trying out new dishes, flavors, and cuisines. Just when I thought, my boyfriend, Martin and I were simply eating healthy, delicious food from a charming little cafe, we were actually eating for change. 

Cup of Coffee: Optimo 3+3 Coffee

With people's hectic schedules nowadays, a lot of people turn to 3 in 1 instant coffee mixes for a fast, convenient caffeine fix. However, if you read the back of 3 in 1 coffees (and I've read a lot, trust me), it's so disappointing how the first ingredient is most of the time sugar, followed by creamer, and instant coffee just comes in third. Not only are you feeding your body with empty calories, you're basically just drinking sugar disguised as coffee. That energy boost you felt might not be from the caffeine, but rather just a sugar rush. Luckily, I found an instant coffee variant that not only has coffee as its first ingredient, but is in general a lot healthier than most instant coffees in the market.

Coconut House

There was a time when to most people, coconuts were just a refreshing drink you can have while lounging on the beach on a hot summer day. Nowadays, people have discovered the many benefits that coconut has to offer, and the world has gone "nuts for coconuts" or "loco for coco" (or whatever cheesy coconut tagline you can think of). I recently discovered a place that takes the versatility of the coconut on a whole 'nother level.

Sweet Ecstacy

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours..."

 Formerly simply a place where one could buy Marikina shoes, Cubao X has now become a go-to place for vintage novelty shopping during the day, and hipster drinking joints at night. However, I wasn't there for vinyl records or 70's Coca-Cola bottles. I was there for the food.

Cup of Tea: Yogi Chai Black

Anyone who’s into the whole coffee shop/cafe culture knows that a Chai tea latte has now become just as posh as having your cafe latte or cappuccino. Chai tea which has a mix of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and pepper flavors has a spicy and energizing flavor, making it the perfect pick me up drink if you want an alternative to coffee.

Favorite Brow Products

If there’s one thing I never leave home without, it has to be my brows. Back then, I couldn’t care less about my brows aside from the usual shaving. However, ever since I started coloring my hair, I’ve been very particular about getting my brows to match my hair. I started with just using eyebrow pencil to get some color into my brows, and it made me realize how big of a difference it makes when you do your brows. Your brows frame your face, and you’ll be surprised by how much impact filling in your brows can make. So, I wanted to share with you my favorite brow products that I swear by.

GoodFellas Steaks and Burgers

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." -Henry Hill, GoodFellas (1990)

It might seem as a surprise to many that as girly as I am, I love gangster and mob films. You could probably blame it to having watched "The Godfather" trilogy at such a young age but I just love watching well-dressed, quick-witted men with guns. Which is why you could imagine how excited I got when I found a gangster movie-themed restaurant. 

Everyday Cheek Products

As a teenager, one of the first make up products I owned (aside from the basics like powder and lip balm) was blush. That probably explains why cheek products are such a staple in my everyday make up routine. Sometimes, I would go out of the house without any lip product, but blush and bronzer are always a must. Since I love my cheek products so much, I thought I'd share with you the ones I use everyday.
