I'm broadcasting this to the world so I'll feel pressured and ashamed when I eat too much. By August, I'm hoping to fit exercise and a healthy diet into my daily regimen. I ballooned to 120lbs from my normal 105-107lbs after college.  I blame all the beer and the massive hormonal changes from all the teenage vices I shamelessly indulged in, but that's the past so I'll try to go easy on myself for that. Post-college and after employment, I...

Megan Fox who?     She loves her nude pumps.  This...

Just a little round-up of products I use. I recently got interested in makeup, like only until about 2 months ago (LOL), so I only have a few no-nonsense products on my stash.

Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in #05 I got this for about Php350 during the Etude House Grand Sale which they had after garnering 50k followers...
