The Most TMI Blog Post Ever

Hi y'all! I'm back from the dead - at least for now. I recently started working at this lovely start-up company called "BECAUSE, Inc". It's my first job and I must say that I'm really learning a lot. My unofficial title is "Social Media It Girl" slash-Graphic Designer-slash-Marketing Assistant. Really, everybody in the company (all ten of us) don't stick with our official roles, so to speak. Basically, we do a little bit of everything.

A quick intro to BECAUSE, it started last January and we focus on nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, nutricosmetics, and consumer health products. Too much? To put it simply, these are stuff that will definitely do you good. Don't we all want that?

Since I began working here, I became more conscious about the stuff that I use for my body. Which leads me to the first product that we will be releasing: Saforelle!

Okay, let me get this straight - I'm not really the type of girl who stands in front of the feminine wash section of the grocery, trying to decide which one to buy. Because guys, let's face it - as long as it's clean, we're (girls) good with it. But then I found out that these feminine washes in the market right now aren't really safe for everyday use. It makes you super dry down there which can lead to itchiness, and then *GASP* infection. Now who would want that?

What's great about Saforelle is that it's so gentle that you're good to use it everyday - it's clinically proven by French doctors, worry not. It also has burdock - a plant that has an anti-itch formula. I can attest to this because I have tried this on my feet when I had a slight rash (it's not just for your vajayjay) just to see if it really works. Lo and behold, two minutes after washing with Saforelle, the itch went away. I promise!

I know, I know. Who writes about their feminine washes? But just know that these things are important, too! Nothing to be ashamed of.

Product Features:

• Specifically formulated for everyday use
• Made with Burdock extract
• Formulated by medical experts
• Manufactured in France
• Supported by clinical studies (AC Nielsen Data 2011)
• Contains no soaps or parabens

Where can you grab your bottle of Saforelle? You can find this premium product in leading supermarkets nationwide (e.g Robinsons, Rustans, Shopwise, as well as pharmacies such as Mercury Drug, and South Star) We'll be releasing this amazing French product to the market this coming October so you better hang tight.

PS.

This may or may not be my first ever review in this blog.

The Perfect Song for This Kind of Weather

Right off of their latest album "Capacities", Parks has immediately captured my heart. Of course Indak will always be there stepping on my heart with its lyrics, and Turn It Well never fails to make my spirits soar. But this song is just perfect. There is no other way to describe it, really.

Yesterday I was walking around Greenbelt by my lonesome while the rain is pouring cats and dogs and I thought that "Hey, this is the perfect weather for some Up Dharma!", so I went through my iPhone and chose  song-above right away.

Guys, I'm serious! LISTEN. TO. IT. And be ready to fall in love and get your heart broken in a span of more or less five minutes.

Venir Avec Moi

It's been a while since I decided to become productive-slash-creative. In college, we do it because it's a requirement, this time I just challenged myself. Contests aren't really my thing because I'm very insecure with my capabilities as an artist, but then again we all have different styles, right? Besides, I'm very broke as of the moment, I need the cash.

So I'm going to have to ask for not even five minutes of your time to vote for my entry on talenthouse.com.

It's a Girl Thing

Assuming that most of the people who visit my blog are girls / ladies / women, here is a post that may (or may not be) interesting for you.

The other day, I was on the phone with David, talking about random stuff like we always do, when all of a sudden, I caught a glimpse of my desk and how messy it was. Yes, I'm that kind of girl who has a messy room, but I know where things are placed. It also happens that I was semi-arranging my make up kit and realized how much make up I own - most of them I barely use anymore. So I decided to do a blog post on my make up! Yay (nay?)!

Say hello to my messy table.

Most of my make up. The ones that I use, at least.

My cheap yet nice make up brushes.

My Top 5 90's Crushes

After weeks of not updating, I finally managed to get my blogging groove on and write about something that hopefully, most of my readers (If I have any, that is) can easily relate to. Never mind my supposed graduation post that was looong due, I think that this is more interesting than telling you about the three grueling hours of waiting for my name to be called, just to receive a piece of paper - that is sadly not my diploma, but a calendar. And so this is what I came up with. My top 5 crushes during the 90's.

It was really difficult to narrow down the list since 8-year-old me had countless of cute crushes back in the day. Celebrities, mostly. Because my grade school classmates just weren't my type. Lolsies.

Let's start.

1. Nick Carter
Why of course he's in this blog post. And don't you even try to deny that you did not have a crush on BSB's heartthrob. The Back Street Boys obviously were the sh*t back then, and I can say that - with no shame - I still listen to their tunes.

2. Freddie Prinze Jr.
*Insert grunt here* Sarah Michelle Gellar is so lucky to have him as her Prinze Charming (Sorry, I couldn't help it!). As a child, I probably didn't appreciate Cruel Intentions all that much but damn. Look at that smile! Hng.

3. Aaron Carter
Who didn't have a crush on Nick Carter's younger bro? He continuously makes me want to sing "I want candy" - the candy being his face because it just looks so sweet! I wouldn't mind getting cavities because of him (Although I really do).

4. Taylor Hanson
Okay, okay. Let's admit it; we all thought we were lesbians when we started crushing on one (or any) of the Hanson brothers just because their long hair was so misleading (Also longer than mine!). And we probably wouldn't mind at all! Taylor Hanson is extremely ermahgerd-worthy. And that voice... oh, that voice! I'm hoping that I wasn't the only girl who was thrilled when a couple of years after, The Hansons came back to the scene with their song "Penny and Me" looking like - yup - BOYS! Boys who are just so damn gorge. Luv ya, Tay.

We're down to the final one, guys. And I definitely saved the best for last. I can openly admit that I still think he's a fine piece of... Oh, you know what I mean!

5. Justin Timberlake
I first saw him in N*Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" music video, and my first thought was "Whoa, this boy's cute". Despite the badly bleached, and kinky hair that looks a little bit greasy, I still found him a lot cuter than JC Chasez (No ofense, JC) who all the girls in my grade totes crushed on. Fast forward to a decade, he makes a comeback and boom! His hair is a gazillion times better. This is probably my only celebrity crush whom I will gladly cry a river for. Oh, and for the record, I absolutely love their "It's Gonna Be Me" video.
