Too cool for school in SM North Edsa

Well I have been hearing a lot about the Tool school for school brand for quite sometime now but I haven't gotten any chance on stumbling on their products as I just known they just opened in MOA which is too far from my place. So when I heard fron my cousins that they just opened in SM North Edsa, Im so ecstatic that I immediately went there and haul a couple of products for myself.

Of course, being a perfume addict I immediately fall in love with their solid perfume that smells like a flower. But being the forgetful girl that I am I forgot to take a photo of the stuff that I hoard in their shop. So here is a picture of it that I grab from here. This solid perfume I think was priced for around 700-900 pesos. I really can't remeber it



Well, the solid perfume was just a distraction for me as I am eyeing their 24 hr eyebrow and eyeliner pens but end up buying their eyebrow and eyeliner set with a free brush!

This set I guess ranges from 400-600 pesos. This brow and liner combo was like their 24 hrs version and better when I get to test it on the back of my hand. I haven't really get the chance yet to use this as I am still using my eyebrow retractable pen from Etude House. So the revie for this would be in another entry ^_0.

Also, since I was in the look out for a new gentler scrub, as I think my face has already been dull due to the lack of time removing my dead skin cells,  I also get a MCGIRLY RICE SCRUB that the price ranges from 500-800 pesos.

The reason I bought this is because it is like a reasonable priced Cure exfoliator and doesn't irritate my face. The product gently but effectively exfoliates  and removes dead skin cells leaving the face fresh and glowing! I have already tried it several times and I would say that once I have used this up I would really buy another tube. So that I will always look fresh and young! haha!

Loving being young and pretty,

Retreat: Results

It so nice that once in a while you will have a "Me time" where you will just sit in a shore and think about what happened, what is happening and how did it happen. It so nice to have that release from everything even just for a day even for just a few hours. Sometimes, being with your self alone with the sea roaring upon your ears you get to know what are the ones that made your life imbalanced. Then you get to meditate on it. You get to let go of the past hurts and then see things a different light. Running away from your daily routine or your daily war zone is absolutely a must for everyone as this gets you focused in what you do. Maybe I will get to do this again next year. Maybe I may do this a yearly thing. Maybe next time I will cleanse my soul. I want to explore so many more things in my life and I want to grab as much experiences that I can. To think that my soul has been captured years ago and been released just this year is a welcoming thought for me. One thing is for sure, I have been cleansed. I have been renewed. The adventure that I have experience is really relaxing and something to look forward to. I hope I can get to create another chance like it but in a another place. In another time and in another moment.

 

 

My Retreat

Im always on the go. Its either I am going late for office or Im accompanying my grandparents to their doctors appointment. Im never really rested for the past weeks or so. Going from one place to another is quite a thing for me. I think I'm at ease with travelling. I go with the flow. But when I shut down I go somewhere far. So since I have been out of sync with my system for quite a while now. I have booked a retreat for myself. In order for me to internalize and see inside myself what path I am now trudging in. Where do I want to go and come to terms with my self. Also, most importantly talk to God in peace.

 

Luckily, I have this coupon from my Belle de Jour Power Planner about a 40% off for accommodation. The next thing I did was book a retreat and relaxation package with my bestfriend in tow. So off we went to Grand Seas Subic Resort in Subic and checking "out of town bonding session" off our list too! (Talk about hitting two birds in one stone!).

Since it was so inexpensive I thought that the rooms would be just small but I was surprised that the room was actually big! The beds are big enough and the toilet room was very nice! Also, they have free massage in the coupon too! So much for relaxation. Here are the pictures to have a glimpse of this wonderful resort with wonderful staffs!

Le Small Infinity pool

The pool was really small but then again since the place was so serene and I think its not peak season then its not crowded and you can swim there all by yourself and if you would want a bigger swimming place there is always the beach for that!

 

Le Shore

 

Le Sands and Beach

 

Seashore

After some Rest and Relaxation from our first day, I would say that it really is a very fine retreat place for those aiming to do just that. So I encourage anyone who want to have a quiet time and be with nature to book their RnR here at Subic Grand Seas Resort! But before checking out, of course, we must avail the first meal of the day and that is their complimentary breakfast!

Le Tablescapes

I love how they set their table. Its very chic to look at and very classy for that matter! Though I would say that the first few minutes of sitting at the table was a stressful part for me because my bestfriend played the stemmed glass to bring out a tune from it! (think about the promil child commercial where the kid is playing a tune from the stemmed glass water) I was panicking as I thought the glass would break while emitting sound! But yeah a sound was produced and the commercial was humanly possible I guess!

 

I had a picture but then I respect the privacy policy of our friendship so no spilling of pics in public social media including blogs I guess? (hahaha but I am the only one who loves to write so I guess blog rules are just for me hehehe *wink wink*)





 

After that stressful minutes, breakfast was served.

 

Le Yummy Complimentary Brekky

 

I honestly thought that the breakfast was just a small serving since its just a complimentary one and the review of it was really terrible in the net, so I was seriously considering of ordering one full serving but lo and behold the complimentary breakfast plate was actually a full meal! It did make my hunger satisfied and I ate really heavy breakfast so I can last the whole day for it to be filled it means that it really is a big serving! So advise for those who will get it please choose the sausage breakfast and not the scrambled eggs one. YOU HAVE A CHOICE so CHOOSE WISELY *wink wink*

 

Le Church in front of it

Of course, since we saw a church in front of the resort when we arrived. We promised to drop by and pray for a little while. Trivia: Did you know that when its your first time in a church you can have a wish and it would really be granted? If you didn't know then NOW YOU KNOW!

Of course, all good things always comes to an end. After that stressless retreat and relaxation it is now time to face head on the busy streets and work days stress.

Until my next RnR Adventure,

Breakeven

For the past months this year I have been frequently listening to the script's breakeven song. And I guess for months I have been feeling a little break and out of tune with myself. Maybe because I didn't really know what to do next I was so unprepared with the turning points in my life. The next thing I know there was nothing to do and all I need to think about was myself. I was not ready to be responsible with myself. I was so busy being responsible to others that being responsible for myself is so repulsive. O well, I guess this time around I should move and I should take control of my life.
