Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter

Just so we're clear, this is a beauty post. Sorry guys, it does say I like makeup on my description, right? Sometimes, I don't know why I'm so fascinated with makeup when I don't use it that much. 

Since I started using makeup, around the time I started teaching, lipstick is the one thing I have always avoided. I can't seem to apply it correctly, it sinks into the lines of my lips (due to dryness?), it dries my lips out and the color never seems to last that long anyway. I only use lip balm on a daily basis. However, when I heard (I mean read) about this new product and how it has the effect of a lip moisturizer, I got curious enough to actually look for it in several department stores where I've seen revlon counters.

I finally found them in Watsons at SM North Edsa. Tried one on, then bought three. Haha. 

Status: Engaged! (part II)

Okay, so with the rate i'm going, I just might get married before I even finish this series. Sorry about that. My first topic aimed to clarify the roles of the man and the woman in a relationship.

My second one is about one of the key principles to maintaining a healthy relationship: GOOD COMMUNICATION. Have you met couples who are so in tune with one another that they seem to have the capability to read each other's thoughts? My fiance and I are so NOT like that. Physically speaking, I have a speaking problem, he has a hearing one. It's great *sarcasm ^_^*. But, we manage to resolve conflicts by talking about them, including those conflicts that rise up from miscommunication itself. I won't go into much discussion on the importance of good communication, but I'll just share this quote: 

"Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation."

— Oscar Wilde      

So what are the essential ingredients of good, healthy communication?
