My apologies for my dramatic title but when skin suddenly breakouts, it is an SOS moment. I had one a couple of days ago. Skin was fine in the morning when I headed to work but once it was dinner time at my parent's house, the eruption happened. Thanks Pops for pointing them out! As soon as I got home, I took off all my makeup, washed my face with a mild cleanser, applied a face mask then slapped on some ointment to all the nasty suckers. I woke up the next morning and I saw amazing results!! Lads, I've tried loads of products from drugstore to high end. I think I have found the best ones! Very very happy girl here.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Avene Cleanance Mask</b>. I've been a fan of this french brand for a couple of years now. Actually, I'm a huge fan of french skincare in general. Oui oui! I believe in treating skin as gently as possible even if one's skin is not sensitive. Might post a separate one with strictly frenchie skincare as a lil treat. Anyway, this clay mask is formulated for oily to blemish prone skin. This mask has mild exfoliation qualities and is rich with Avene's Thermal Spring Water. A couple minutes of this and skin is mattified and smooth. This is perfect for the summer. I use this once a week since my skin's not as oily as it used to be but if you have very oily skin, go wild and use it 2-3 times a week. Just don't leave it on for more than 5-10 minutes at at time or you might crack. :) This product can be purchased in selected Walgreens Look Boutiques ( Bonjour Walgreens DC Chinatown) or online drugstore.com. If you're up for it and have some dough to drop, head on over to Europe! Oh and take me with you please. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask. </b>This is the mask I slapped on when I had my little episode. Love love love love. It dries out pimples and sucks out any impurities. You can literally see your pores coming out when this has dried on the skin. Gross but I love seeing that it's working! I leave this on for a little longer than what the package says. Warning. It will be hard to show any emotions via your face when this has dried. Might make a great game in future get togethers. Available in your nearest mall with an Origins store or Sephora aka Candyland.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Clean and Clear Acne Spot Treatment. </b> It is the best on the spot treatment I have EVER tried. My skin reacts better to salicylic acid than benzoyl peroxide. I will always repurchase this and feel no need to try other brands. This is the best. It applies clear and is best worn under your moisturizer day and night. Apply this when you start feeling a bump and if you're brave, apply when the zit is inflamed. Gonna sting but no pain no gain! It's also very budget friendly and available everywhere. Open up any beauty magazine or blog and this sucker is always on the favorites list. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Calendula Ointment.</b> Ok. Time to get gross and honest. I know we've all been told to not pick or pop (gasp!) spots but we all do it. No need to lie. So, if you do, this ointment is the shiz! Don't apply the Clean and Clean one but only this if you've done the deed. You will wake up the next morning with a much smaller bump and no blood or oooze or whatever comes out. To me, this is the most impressive product and I'm so glad to have researched and researched and found this miracle of an ointment. Mind you, this was not made specifically for what was just mentioned but after reading the ingredients and reviews of others, I took a leap. I applied this paraben free product after the charcoal mask and I woke up with great results!! This stuff is also great for burns, insect bites and chapped lips. This is a miracle ointment. Please run to your closest Vitamin Shoppe or health food stores. This is an all around great skin savior. Plus, it's by the amazing french skincare manufacturer Boiron. No worries though. It's less than 10 dollars for this tube that will last you forever. </div>

<div>
Enjoy!</div>

Took quite a long break but for now, I am back. This is partly due to my sweet friends who requested I blog again. I started blogging a couple of years ago as an outlet for everything that interests me and to prove that it's The Little Things Too that make life amazing! I also didn't realize until now how much I've inspired people with my posts. This is like my diary ( a very public one) for me and also my friends. To ease my way back, here are 5 makeup products from the drugstore I'm really loving and it so happens to be very affordable. I plan on always having these 5 beauties in my stash. They're GOOD. Enjoy and please keep checking in for a variety of posts of food, travels, movies, makeup, music, books, skincare...you name it! </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b>NYC Bronzer in Sunny.</b> I think matte bronzers are the most versatile type of face makeup. Since it does not have any shimmers, it's perfect for contour and all over bronzing. No worries about looking like a big disco ball face especially in the day time! I've also found this useful when one has used foundation that's a tad too light. This will fix that issue right up. I love this so much I've gone through more than 3 of these puppies. This is comparable to Benefit Hoola. </span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Happy December!I have been on a hair product kick lately. Trust me, I still don't know how to style it but I'm learning how to take care of it. :) I like very easy to maintain hair and a bit on the messy side. I don't have the typical Asian pin straight hair but it is on the fine side not thick. Bummer for me right? That's ok. You deal with what you're dealt with and shut the front door with complaints! I've done some research and so far these are the products my hair has not rejected. Yaay! I'm even inspired to venture out of my comfort zone and try something really new with my hair...color. Oh yeah. I said it folks. Stay tuned.</span><br />

This is basically baked eggs in ramekins. I'm sorry for getting fancy but I could eat breakfast food anytime of the day. It can kind of feel rebellious eating breakfast for dinner but I think its mostly because breakfast food is uber comforting. Personally, I panic when I open my fridge and I don't have at least 1/2 dozen eggs. Weird, I know. It's just that eggs can be eaten anytime and is affordable. Next to onions, garlic, and tomatoes, egg is my staple for cooking and of course, eating. Here is a recipe for a traditional French bistro breakfast. Not too many ingredients but the outcome is oh so good. I will add though that you may find it difficult to locate white truffle oil. If you do, please check out your local Marshall's gourmet food section. I've always found bottles there but I got mine from a specialty store in Atlantic City. (After a couple of hours of gambling, I felt the urge for some gourmet food shopping. I roll like that. lol) Please, try your best to get your hands on one. It makes a huge difference and is delicious with pasta and drizzled on creamy soups.<br />
<br />
<u>What you will need:</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
- 2 eggs, preferably organic<br />
- 2 tbsp. of cream (I use heavy whipping cream)<br />
- some butter to brush inside the (2) ramekins<br />
- salt and pepper to taste<br />
- truffle oil<br />

2. Generally brush some room temperature butter inside the ramekins.<br />
3. Crack one egg per ramekin.<br />
4. Place both ramekins into a baking dish.<br />

Hurricane Sandy has given me the opportunity to lounge around and click away on my laptop. I decided to share some style inspirations from my two favorite ladies. I adore Nicole's bohemian, edgy style but also lust after Gwyneth's classic and effortless wardrobe. My two favorite pieces you ask? Nicole's white studded leather jacket and Gwyneth's striped sweater with blue patches. "I want it. I want it now daddy!" Think Willy Wonka not sugar daddy with this quote. Just thought I'd explain. :) </div>

Hoarder. Yes, it has a negative connotation but it can be a good thing. In my case, I used to be hoarder of kitchen gadgets and supplies. I've learned over the years that there are only certain things I reach for over and over and over again. They have helped me tremendously and cannot imagine a kitchen without them. Please keep in mind, I have a tiny condo kitchen. I need every gadget to have multiple purposes since I'm lacking in space. To be honest, I never thought kitchen space was ever a factor when it comes to making great food. If you have the passion and greed for food, anything is possible in the happiest and the most delicious part of the home. I'm also kind of feeling generous so I've included one of my standby meals when I'm in a rush but need something healthy and satisfying.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These are what you call hybrid knives. If you combine a chefs knife and a cleaver, you get santoku knives. Amazing. Cutting vegetables is such a breeze and what I love the most about it is that because of the wide blade surface, it can scoop up what you've chopped and allow you to drop into the pans without making a messy trail of onions and garlic. I've used this as well to slice meat. No complaints here.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is my little kitchen engine that could! I must use my Black and Decker toaster oven everyday and trust me, it's not just for toasting bread either. I've made cakes, roasted chicken, ribs, baked smashed potatoes, muffins, and so much more. This is also more energy efficient that using your oven. Less clean up too for a lazy person like me. :)<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I highly recommend you scour stores for egg shaped bowls. The functionality is insane. Because its shape, mixing and whisking is made easier. There is a natural spout and that makes pouring your batter into pans so easy. I got mine from Target during Easter (duh..eggs) but I'm sure they are avail anytime. They just wouldn't be in pastel colors. Bummer.<br />

I call this my magic whisk. :) I bought mine at <b>www.fantes.com</b>. I haven't seen this anywhere else so it's the only site I can recommend. What's even better is that this is less than 10 bucks!!

Every other country swears by this and is a staple in their kitchens! When I lived with my parents years ago and I was just starting to get into cooking, this was one of my first purchases. It cuts time from the boiling water process by more than half. Its also great for making tea everyday. My parents got so dependent on this that they asked that I leave mine behind and just buy a new one for my place. Gladly I obliged. </td></tr>

Finally, here is my first ever recipe post and hopefully not my last. This is a hybrid (there goes that word again) of many recipes I've read. It's very easy and healthy. Also, you can easily purchase the ingredients ahead of time and keep in your freezer and cupboard. Great after a long day in the office or school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><b>Seafood Pasta</b></u></div>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
What you will need:</div>
<div>
- 1 pound dried pasta/1 packet. Spaghetti or linguine is best.</div>
<div>
- salt and pepper. <i>I prefer sea or kosher salt.</i></div>
<div>
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil</div>
<div>
- 5 garlic cloves, sliced thinly. Less if you're scared of the funk more if you're nasty. Sorry. :)</div>
<div>
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)</div>
<div>
- 1 bag or 4 cups frozen seafood mix. <i>You should be able to find this in your local supermarket. If not, check out your asian markets. It comes in 1 pound bags. You can also use frozen shrimp.</i></div>
<div>
- white wine. <i>Your choice but make sure it's wine good enough to drink too.</i></div>
<div>
- 1 bunch of cilantro. <i>You</i> <i>don't have</i> <i>to chop.</i> <i>I just tear with</i> <i>my hands</i>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Turn on heat to high for the pot of water to boil. Then, add a handful of salt and packet of dried pasta. Stir to spread the love around. Follow packet instructions.</div>
<div>
2. While pasta is boiling away, place pan (preferably one with a lid) on the stove. Add olive oil, sliced garlic, and pepper flakes. Turn on heat to medium. <i>I almost never add garlic to hot oil because I don't like the acrid taste of burnt garlic. I want this to be mellow.</i></div>
<div>
3. Once you smell the lovely scent of garlic, you may add the seafood. <i>It's ok if it's still a little frozen. Lovely broth will come out of it. You an also turn the heat higher to medium high.</i></div>
<div>
3. Cook until no longer in frozen clumps. This can take about 5 minutes. </div>
<div>
4. Add a pinch of salt to the simmering seafood and broth. </div>
<div>
<i>5. </i>You may add the white wine at this point. I don't have an exact measurement because it depends on how much liquid your frozen seafood gives off. I add mo more than 1/2 cup since pasta soaks up a lot of liquid. This is your call. Don't be scared. </div>
<div>
6. Put the lid on the pot and let the wine and broth reduce a bit. 2-3 minutes. Make sure to take your pasta off the heat and drain. </div>
<div>
7. Add the pasta to the pan with the seafood and wine sauce. </div>
<div>
8. Season with salt and pepper. Pepper is lovely here.</div>
<div>
9. Garnish with cilantro and voila. </div>
<div>

I'm back! I thought I'd tread back lightly by posting some beauty products I've been really enjoying. I must admit, I've been on a skincare/makeup bender lately. It's a love affair I can't seem to stay away from. As much as I love cooking and running around town in search of the best ingredients and restaurants, I think its important to indulge in beautification once in a while. Ok, all the time. :) I don't want you to worry though. There'll be plenty of (food)yumminess to come. </span><div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a miracle in a bottle and the label says it all. I apply this immediately when I feel a pimple. You just take a cotton swab and dip into the pink stuff on the bottom and dab directly to the zit. Make sure to NOT shake the bottle. The pink is supposed to be settled in the bottom. I recommend to leave this on overnight to get the full effect. This reduces the size greatly. If your breakouts tend to be more cystic than normal, you may want to use the buffering lotion. It will work better. This can be purchased at your local Sephora or Ulta. </td></tr>

Not only does this primer smooth out your skin, it also evens out your skin tone! I do not like it when I look like a lobster in pictures and this stuff, is the cure. The purple tones down the redness greatly. I also have combo skin which means I can get a bit greasy. Eeew right?! This somehow provides a matte finish. I don't wear foundation unless its a special occasion so I wear powder and bronzer on top of this. Fantastic. I hope this never gets discontinued. </td></tr>

I love that I can scoop every product out of this container unlike some lotion bottles. I don't ever have to cut the bottle in half so I can scrape! Oh please. I know you do it too. :):) Ok ok. This is a bit pricey but I got all my body butters at Marshalls for less than half the cost. I'm sure this can also be found at TJ Maxx. I'm just going to have to make sure to check their website during holiday sales because I've seen it sold for the same price as discount stores and it's with free shipping. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">What have I been doing to my face for all these years? I've been destroying it with toners that strip all the moisture out and leave me with this dryness that is uncalled for! Ladies and gents, I have found my all time favorite toner. Drugstore toners just don't cut it anymore for me. When you put this on your cotton pad, it will come off gel-ish but when applied to your skin, it goes on like water. I'm so impressed when I check out my cotton pad and see all the dirt and leftover makeup left behind by my cleanser. Please please please please try this. I'm so happy to have found this toner, I can cry. Dramatic. That's me. Seriously. Run to a The Body Shop store or Ulta!</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I was so desperate to find a new facial moisturizer that I resorted to Facebook. I had posted a question about favorite facial moisturizers. A couple of my friends recommended Aveeno and after much research ( yes, I research everything before I purchase, dork is the word) I decided to give it a shot. Boy, am I glad I did! I have natural redness on my face and some uneven discoloration. I feel this balances it out because of the soy ingredient. I've used products in the past with soy and it really worked with taking away some acne marks. I figured this would do the same and so far so good. I love the pump too! You don't have to worry about getting too much product in your hand. It's just the right amount. When it's cold and wintry here in the DC area, I will probably apply two pumps every time just to make sure I'm moisturized for the entire day. </td></tr>

She had gifted me with a couple of these brushes for my birthday last month and now, thanks to her, I might have to purchase the entire set! No, I shall try to control myself. wink wink. They are fabulously soft, great applicators, chic (check out the handles) and will not damage your bank account. Personally, I think some makeup brushes are just way too expensive. Ahem...MAC. In the past, Eco Tools were my fave but I think these Real Techniques brushes have taken over. You can purchase these online or at Ulta.<br /><br /></td></tr>

This is a seasonal item so you might wanna run to B&B. :)<br />

What's a good movie to watch? Well, I am quite passionate about movies.The more movies I watch, the pickier I become about which movies I want to give my time to. These are my top movies this week. The first two are out in theaters and the last two are out for rental/dvd. Enjoy!!</span><br />

I love thinking I'm eating junk but in reality, the ingredients are incredibly healthy. Score! Highly recommend you check this place out amigos. Oh and just FYI, the menu is not all Vegan.

I'm back! I figure it's time to give this blog a whirl again. I know I know. I'm a horrible blogger but I'm back and hopefully I will have some exciting experiences to share with you all. First off. I recently made my way south to New Orleans for my cousin's bachelorette party. While Nawlins, (I know very tourist of me..sue me) particularly Bourbon street, definitely felt like the party mecca of the South, I knew there was more to this city. Here are a few of my PG rated pictures of my time in the dirrrtyyy. lol. Enjoy.</span><br />

I've had awesome ladies give me tips too so I'm just returning the favor. One more very important thing. Don't be trapped by the notion that you need to spend lots of money when it comes to beauty products. I love the drugstore and feel that it's not all about the products but also how you feel inside. Drinking lots of water, exercising, and eating right is enough but products are fun too! Make sure to laugh often.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am definitely a walking contradiction. Basically, if I had to sum up my clothing style, it would be girly meets tomboy but mostly it's tomboy. I like androgyny with my clothing. I like simple lines that can be dressed up and down. I'm totally the other way for my living quarter. I like it GIRLY. Pinks, greens, plaids, flowers, whites. Think Shabby Chic meets Marie Antoinette. That's it. To me, this aesthetic is just so warm and comforting. Im gonna tell you that right now, my bedroom looks like an outdoor garden. It's my oasis. Not really into modern style living. I'm a bit afraid for the guy who will eventually steal my heart and build a home with me. All I have to say is..he better get used to flowers and lace!!!

I was taken away by this video and singer. It's so visually stunning. I love English countrysides because it reminds me of my favorite author, Jane Austen. I also think that this is one of the best Elton John covers I've come across lately. I don't know what it is exactly but Ellie Goulding's voice is so beautifully haunting. She doesn't have the range like some singers do but it's emotional and delicate. Quite unique. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon this video so that I may share with all of you. Sometimes you have to venture away from mainstream music to discover works of art like this. Plus, "Your Song" is one of Elton John's best. Just lovely.Piahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08301151745593479383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025792638552230016.post-10041274581305104502010-12-31T10:44:00.000-05:002010-12-31T10:44:51.457-05:0010 Superficial Resolutions for 20111. <i><b>Eat less chocolate</b>. </i>I eat soooo much chocolate. I tell you it's an addiction. My favorite ones are anything with hazelnut hence my undying love for Nutella.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>2. <i><b>Use reusable bags for groceries instead of plastic bags</b>. </i>I know it's much better for the Earth and blah blah but my main reason. I am running out of space for them. Plastics bags are completely taking over my kitchen!! I can't fill trash cans enough to decrease my mountainous stash.</div><div><br />
</div><div>3. <i><b>Consume more calcium</b>.</i> Ok. So most of you know that I call myself "lactarded". Basically, I'm lactose intolerant. I seriously need to take supplements so I don't get all brittle and bow legged when I'm older. I know I'm late but I recently discovered Lactaid milk. Whoever invented that stuff is genius! I fell semi normal when I drink it.</div><div><br />
</div><div>4. <i><b>Clean up my </b><b>ipod</b>.</i> It's a jumbled mess. There are songs on it that when I listen to them, I cringe. Makes me really realize how much I've changed..more like progressed when it came to music selection. I can't take anymore Britney Spears unless I'm sloshed and to be more particular...sloshed in Vegas. It's Pia b#$ch!</div><div><br />
</div><div>5. <i><b>Drink beer</b>.</i> You're thinking..what? I don't drink beer but I feel I must start because the harder stuff is a bit expensive when going out. I think I can drink a girly beer like Bud Lime or my favorite pub..Pub Dog. I can actually drink their peach beer like a sailor. It's actually very Harry Potter esq drink. lol.</div><div><br />
</div><div>6. <i><b>No more purses</b>.</i> I actually think I'm on track on this already. I haven't bought a new handbag in quite a while. Thank goodness. I'm turning out to be like Imelda Marcos of purses. No, no. Don't wanna be that. I'm already having issues with closet space. sheesh.</div><div><br />
</div><div>7.<i> <b>Go to DC more for their museums</b>.</i> I don't take advantage enough of the Smithsonian and the amazing art galleries. I need to be inspired and stimulated more and there's nothing like roaming a museum for free!! Just gotta stay away from creepy men in the metro.</div><div><br />
</div><div>8. <i><b>DVR</b><b> less</b>.</i> Why you ask? I'm getting too used to not have to watch commercials. This is really annoying when I'm watching the news in the morning and I'm forced to watch them. I mean, I can't DVR news!! It wouldn't be current!! This is also very tough during football games. ugh!</div><div><br />
</div><div>9. <i><b>Open a bottle of wine on my own like a big girl</b>. </i>Luckily, a dear friend of mine bought me a contraption made for dummies. Hopefully, I'm a dummy and not less. I'm still hesitant and don't think I can do it. Positive thoughts Pia!</div><div><br />
</div><div>10. <i><b>Get more sleep for goodness sake</b>. </i>This is quite important. Need more beauty sleep and less MacBook action. Yeah, OK.</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I call these my superficial resolutions for a reason. If I break them, it's not the end of the world for me. I know that there are more important things in life I have to conquer and accomplish for 2011. Those I'm keeping sacred and to myself because I want them to come true! You'll just be hearing about those resolutions once they come true! I promise.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Happy New Year!!!! Let's all make our 2011 a memorable one and more importantly, prosperous.</div><div>Love Pia. </div><div><br />

I wanted to share this video I stumbled upon. It made me miss the Philippines and how fun Christmas is there. Whenever I talk about the Philippines, I use the word "home" because that's where I was born and where my earliest childhood memories belong. This video made me truly grateful for being able to experience this type of holiday cheer for the first eight years of my life. Now, I gotta make sure that the next time I go home, it will be for Christmas and New Years. I miss this so much :) <b>Have a blessed Christmas everyone!!! Enjoy it with the people you love and cherish.</b>Piahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08301151745593479383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025792638552230016.post-18564146588101521672010-12-19T13:27:00.000-05:002010-12-19T13:27:17.119-05:00Luxurious Winter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmr9kngGlDkoyDZYjuht2cfXrPk4CWNEj76RW3wVOY557vdpKHngH5AdsUCQQ0JujN3NItl61_aUM3UqV9Cwbiu_7YnQmnhvqCOEhimbDwM2g-tkUwnHw2ry4lHM92lY8_AMXRNlHIRfA/s1600/00020m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmr9kngGlDkoyDZYjuht2cfXrPk4CWNEj76RW3wVOY557vdpKHngH5AdsUCQQ0JujN3NItl61_aUM3UqV9Cwbiu_7YnQmnhvqCOEhimbDwM2g-tkUwnHw2ry4lHM92lY8_AMXRNlHIRfA/s640/00020m.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I do not have the budget for Dolce and Gabbana but I think it's important to look at designer collections and interpret it for yourself. You can find similar sweaters and patterns that's more affordable. I know that's what I'll be doing. I am just gushing over the cozy reindeer sweaters. I gotta find me similar ones because it's just way too cold where I'm from. This will make Winter more bearable for me. :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

JCrew, you've shocked me. This is not your usual type of line. I love that it's not straight forward preppy which I really dislike (sorry, just my preference). I like clothes with personality and more importantly, has that vintage look. This line makes me want to go thrifting now! My hope is that whoever is the new creative director for Jcrew continues with this type of line because it just might gain a new follower. :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This song thoroughly expresses my message for this Thanksgiving season. I'm so fortunate to have the best family and friends a girl could have. I love you all and thank each and everyone of you for being in my life and making me realize that the Heart of Life is good and to enjoy The Little Things Too. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So enjoy and have a Happy Thanksgiving!! Let's eat folks!!!</span></span></div>Piahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08301151745593479383noreply@blogger.com0
