The Wais Life

Another Ilog Maria treat!

I obviously did not just buy facial soap that Ilog Maria day of mine. I also remembered that I ran out of moisturizer and wanted to try something new. I got a whiff of the facial oil one of those other days I passed by that Ilog Maria stall in Marikina Riverbanks…and I could not get that scent out of my head, este nose pala.

The other night, I finally got to try it myself and here is my wais assessment of the product…

Ilog Maria Honey Glycerine Baby Soap

Last week, my facial soap kinda ran out on me. So I had to buy a new one. I must admit I am quite a picky soap consumer all because I unfortunately have sensitive skin, prone to acne and all. BOO. Plus I want to buy a soap that is organic / natural + locally made + cheap. Mahirap ba? Hehehe. Madaming requirements.

So I wanted to check it out myself and I did…

Do you really keep ALL your Christmas gifts???

I remember in my past life (okay the time when I was in corporate) I received a whole LOT of gifts, ranging from the Bonggang bongga category to the “Oh.” category. Obviously, there are gifts which I keep and there are gifts that I give away yet again. One word: recycle.

Yes I recycle some Christmas gifts…
