I grew up with Camay.

My aunt would often tease me as the “batang dalaga” ( the kid – teenager ) , because I would pretty much idolize my mom and aspire to do whatever she does, as she is just so beautiful. When Mom and Dad go out on a date, I sneak in their room, play with makeup, and even wear Mom’s clothes. Hahaha! One of the things that Mom and I shared was Camay. We would use this really fragrant pink bar of soap way back ( I have this inborn fondness for pink, okay ) , and it was just so endearing that when she saw me go home with some new Camay goodies, she instantly beamed, and told me, “Do you remember we used to have Camay in the bathroom and use that soap? Remember?” Boy, that was at least twenty years ago. Such fond memories, that just brings a big smile on my face.

I guess the young ones do not know or have not experienced Camay. It was just as synonymous as asking my 18-year old sister, “Do you know the Brady Bunch? Bioman? Voltes Five? Or even Carebears?” Yeah, I would just gasp in shock on how they could NOT know the Carebears ( anyone? sympathize with me, please! hahaha! ) Care Bears…STARE!!!! ( okay, some are not picking up, sorry! Google it up, they are just so cute! )

Going back, I do not know what happened to Camay as it just disappeared during my teenage years, and I recall seeing it briefly poised for a relaunch a few years ago. But everything seems really good right now as they had a formal relaunch of Camay, with Angelica Panganiban as their endorser. Continue reading

With the weekend that just passed, I was just so happy that I didn’t have to work this Saturday. There’s this “Holy Week” air that the sun is glaring mercilessly, coupled with confusing rains here and there. Ahh! The world is going crazy. Anyways, it was a rest day for me, but I ended up going to Rockwell that day!

Rockwell Powerplant Mall has been close to my heart, specially with their bazaars. I just really, really like the place. The Rockwell Tent is small, but intimate, and I would usually score great finds as I man my booth for Beauty & Minerals. The truth is, I think I get to shop more stuff at bazaars than at the boutiques inside the mall! This Saturday, I was there for work, meeting a friend of mine, to approve for her packaging stuff ( yes, I print stuff for a living! ), and it was just the perfect excuse to visit the Coachella Bazaar that was happening that weekend!

Okay, sue me, and shake your head, as I was only there for a span of 15-20 minutes, and I managed to buy, without even thinking, the following. Warning – super cool stuff ahead!

What : Amber Lights Laguna Soya Candle in Scotch Pine
Price : P 390.00 each Continue reading

Just this Christmas vacation, I was able to meet up with longtime friend Cristine, who’s based in Singapore already. She handed me a present, and imagine my glee when I unwrapped it – a body wash!

She gave me a bottle of L’Occitane Green Tea Shower Gel! Oh, totally happiness!

I was very pleased with my present – a fancy body wash ( it’s L’Occitane! ) looking pretty good, in a clear plastic bottle, and the best thing about it is the variant – it’s green tea! I’m such a green tea lover, from the drinking kind, to the bath product or fragrance kind!
