You know me, I wasn't into anything beauty-related until I had terrible breakouts last year. I started taking care if my skin and I had an actual ~skin care~ routine lol, which I still can't believe until now. I mean, I went on for 20+ years of my life without ever having to do anything on my skin...but then, now actually feels so much better. Last year was also the year I learned how to actually do makeup. 2016 was a year of experiments but 2017 was when I finally found the products that actually worked for me. 2016 was more of an introduction to makeup since I essentially didn't know anything about it, but 2017, praise god, I finally got the hang of it. 

I know a lot of people have debatable thoughts about makeup but personally, I'd be forever indebted to it because it helped me through one of the most depressing times of my life. I used to not cared about it but just seeing how it helped me overcome my insecurities, I mean, I used to go to work wearing a freaking face mask because of my acne! But anyway, today I'm sharing the makeup routine that got me through that period. It's easy and affordable since I only use drugstore products. I'm still a cheap ass, y'know haha. Enjoy!

I don't exactly remember when, but if my memory serves me right, it was about the end of 2015 when I decided to publish my Facebook page. I mean I've always had one for my blog but I never really had the guts to publish it thinking what's the point? I get to promote my posts anyway on the several social media accounts I have. It wasn't until I had a small community to take care of that I had the urge to actually publish it. I wanted to engage with my small community beyond the comments section of Blogger and this felt like the perfect avenue! Fast forward to 3 years and here I am, I now have a family of a thousand followers on Facebook. My growth may be slow for some, but I love the little family I've come to have. 

Most of them might be family/friends but I'm more than thankful for these people who liked my page because you know me, I'm a person who needs validation all the time and if this is not validation, I don't know what is. Thank you for the wonderful words about my photos and videos. 1k in 3yrs may be meager for some, but I just really love doing this and having a small community support me along the way is all one could ever ask for. 

So thank you. Yes, you who's reading this. I may be a shitty content creator most of the time but you stuck with me. Or you're stuck with me? Lol kidding. Anyway, I want to thank each and everyone of you who tirelessly click on my posts whether it be a new blog or vlog. Each and everyone of who you follow me on social media when all I do is rant hehehe. And post about food of course. A huge thank you. I may not have said this enough on the video, but isn't that what writing is for? The things you always fail to say. Ahhhh I'm getting to mushy, but really, I'm honestly grateful for you....and everyone else that has been with me since I started the blog and now vlog! In return, I"m giving away a few items to celebrate this tiny milestone. I hope you enjoy the giveaway and the quite lengthy mukbang I've prepared. And I hope you win! Again, my heart is overflowing with love and joy. Thank you, dear reader. ❤

I'm pretty sure at one point in your mindless scrolling on Facebook, you've come across posts from your friends about certain chocolate dream cakes. I was also plagued by this craze for a while, more so when I saw the instagram account MasarapBa? post about it. I was trying to get my hands on it for a while, but it was unfortunate because at that time stocks were always low and Manila isn't necessarily close to where I live. I mean I love food but I'm not exactly fond of sweets so I didn't see the need to go the extra mile, especially with the traffic, to get a hold of one for myself.

Fortunately while commenting on these cream cake posts, one guy responded and said he delivers the dream cake but for an additional price, which I talk about extensively in this video. I mean, I'll be paying that much, if not more, plus queuing up if I were to buy myself so I took the chance and availed of the service. Find out about my thoughts in the video below! Enjoy!
