Big Summer Sale 2016 (Vaseline, Rexona, Dove and More!)

Since it is summer, I am looking for lotions that are light but will still give that enough moisturization to my skin. Good thing I saw an advertisement that Unilever products will be having a promotion!

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

Remember the violet-coloured Fox's candy in blackcurrant flavor? I haven't bought candy in ages but that is totally what I can think of whenever I smell Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly! I was actually a bit apprehensive on trying this at first but knowing that I am crazy of anything Lush, I gave in!

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly
"If a bar of soap and a bottle of shower gel had a steamy affair, this would be the resulting jelly, baby." :D

Lush is fond of creating products that are on the quirky side and this is just one of them. So what exactly is a shower jelly? Much like its name suggests, it is a jello that you use in the shower to clean your hot body with! :) It is addicting to play with and poke on like what my little sister is always doing.

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Wobbly

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Instructions

You can use it directly as how one would normally use a soap. But this is so wobbly that I find it impossible to do that. You might just end up with the whole blob on the bathroom floor (eeek - just saying from experience!) ;) I learned that the best and practical way is by cutting chunks of it and then crushing them into your loofah. By doing this, I was able to lather it effectively and produce soft, fragrant bubbles.

I use two chunks of like a cm each for my whole body as I want my shower time to be very bubbly but you can cleanse even with just one.

The scent as I say smells akin to a blackcurrant candy, thanks to the cassis absolute in it. Other key ingredients included are cherry infusion which makes it fruity and luxurious; bergamot oil as it is cleansing and uplifting; cypress oil for its calming and toning properties and coconut infusion and seaweed extract helps make the skin feel soft and moisturized. There are glitters scattered throughout which will not cling to your skin, thankfully, but for me it gives that element of fun! Please do note that there are SLS and parabens in this product which might be disturbing to some. I am not that strict in that aspect so I don't mind.

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Ingredients

Seeing that this is a rather unusual product, I guess not all will like this. Even my Mom is not a fan. Having the extra step of preparing and cutting chunks of the product beforehand might discourage those who just want a breezy, fast shower. However, I suggest you try it at least once, even just for the novelty of it! As for me, I will continue purchasing any shower jelly Lush will create. Right now, they only offer two scents - the other one being Whoosh shower jelly which has a refreshing lemongrass scent. I once had The Jilted Elf shower jelly which was part of their Christmas line two years ago.

Lush says to freeze it which makes it apt during summer months. What do you think of a chilly shower in this humid weather?

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Date

Cafe Mary Grace Grilled Vegetables on Focaccia

Cafe Mary Grace Grilled Vegetables on Focaccia

My family went to Cafe Mary Grace for lunch and I ordered this Grilled Vegetable sandwich just in time for the Lenten Season. This is one sacrifice I decided to do. I know it should not be considered a sacrifice (such a harsh word), but more of a healthy eating choice.

Grilled Vegetables on Focaccia

Cafe Mary Grace Grilled Vegetables on Focaccia
Fresh oyster mushrooms, eggplant and zucchinis marinated, grilled and served with lettuce on a generous slice of focaccia bread. ₱196

I love all the vegetables included so this was an easy choice for me. Added the fact that they were grilled, sarap! I also like that the vegetables were marinated with what seems like balsamic vinaigrette to me. Although I must say some taste slightly more acidic than the rest especially the mushroom. The focaccia bread was soft and pillowy.

The chips and garlic mayo dip on the side are refillable for ₱37.

Overall, this is one simple, savory grilled vegetable sandwich!


I also 'almost' made it to not check on my iPad for a week but Instagram is always intervening with my life. I have a fairly new account, by the way, @heyeffortless. Nothing spectacular there but please, please follow me. :)

I am lucky to be close to two of them but unfortunately for those in the province, they are all located in Metro Manila. I also added here their contact numbers so you can check first if the products you are looking for are available.

You can easily tell that you are near a Lush store as your senses will lead you right to it. It has this intriguing scent that is so unique of Lush! Some of my friends can't stay there for so long which I understand since it can be quite overwhelming. But for me, I love it! How about you?

Lush Philippines Christmas 2013 Haul

The moment I got a text from Lush Philippines letting me know that their Christmas 2013 products were already out, I wanted to ride the first flight back to Manila and spend all that is left on my wallet! But alas, I was stuck at the northern part of the country for some family time and as you all know they only have branches in Metro Manila. So the sooner I got back, I only had one mission! That is to get my Lush Santa's Lip Scrub and Santa Baby Lip Tint!

Lush Christmas Haul Bag

I've already been dreaming of fizzy cola sweets and smooth, kissable lips... oooh! But I guess luck wasn't really on my side as every branch I went to, the lip scrub was out of stock!!! I'm obsessed with Lush but that is pretty cray cray! See, it isn't December yet and they were out of it? ;)

Now, the right thing to do is get out of the store. But (another but) I can't deny myself as these PINK things were calling my name... Lels ;)

Lush Christmas Haul 2013

Lush Snow Fairy shower gel
Yes, I got sucked into this sweet, bubblegummy goodness, again. Every year, I always promised myself that I would stop getting one anymore but... but......

Lush Magic Wand bubble bar
Solid version of Snow Fairy shower gel but for the bath. This is a reusable bubble bar and they say you can use it up to 10 times. I like it bubbly, so mine lasted up to 6 baths.

Karma solid perfume
This is just a +1 on my haul and not part of Lush Christmas 2013 line. I don't need to get another perfume right now but I just finished my first tube (Is it the right term?). Have you taken a whiff of this? The scent is not for everyone. It's either you love it or you hate it and I'm on the 'Team Love It'! It's citrusy, spicy and very vibrant.


Lush truly is where the magic happens. Btw, the paper bag was from Christmas last year. I just used it here because it looks better than the regular black bag. I got a little sidetracked from my initial plan, yaiks. Although knowing me, pretty sure you will see another Lush haul before the year ends. Note to self: Better save now! :)

Cafe Mary Grace, SM North Edsa

Wondering where to rest our feet after doing the groceries, I thought of trying Cafe Mary Grace's latest branch at SM North Edsa. I noticed they have an extensive menu than their Trinoma branch with the addition of pizzas and meal sets. It is also more spacious but still lends that homey, comfortable ambience the cafe is known for.

Cafe Mary Grace SM North Edsa

I normally would pick pasta but I was feeling a sandwich is best at that time... And it sure did!

Fili Beef and Tomatoes Php 227
Tender slices of beef sirloin served in between batard bread, moistened with a pesto dressing and garnished with tomatoes and lettuce.

Cafe Mary Grace Fili Beef and Tomato
Upon reading the description above, I cannot recall any hint of the pesto dressing. But the beef is oh so soft, slightly sweet and garlicky! Even the tomatoes they used are juicy and just add that burst of freshness. You can get an extra order of the chips and garlic mayo dip for Php 37 which by the way is so addicting.


Sangria Php 84
A refreshing red tea with a hint of citrus and other ingredients.
Cafe Mary Grace Sangria
This is my choice of drink EVERYtime I eat here. I just love that you can actually taste the tea and fruit juices and not the sweet, concentrated teas.


I would have stayed a little bit longer to taste their newest cheesecake offering, Limone Santi, but I still have some errands to do. I appreciate food that is tasty and beautifully prepared and Cafe Mary Grace always makes me happy!

Rotisserie Chicken with Free Pepsi Max PhP 219.95
It doesn't come with a sauce unlike the usual kapit-bahay litson manok (Baliwag or Andoks) most of us are used to. But the chicken meat is tasty enough that I do not need any help to enhance its flavor. My little sister is always glad to accept the skin of my piece because I only eat the white meat. Aaaaah, I'm boring! ;)

Plus, at the bottom of its bag is where all the magic is waiting - oh, the juices - on which you can put in your rice. Just don't be carried away even if it's that illegally good!

Lush Christmas 2013 Collection - Shower Products

Cola-flavoured lip scrub? Uh, sign me up for that!

Lush surely knows what they are doing. I can't help but get all googly eyes with this year's collection! It is hard to decide, I must say, but one thing is for sure. Lush Santa's lip scrub will be mine this Christmas! Knowing me, I'll probably throw in a shower gel too. :)

LUSH Philippines Christmas 2013 is now available starting October 31, 2013!

These are not yet available in the Philippines and I don't know when it will be. But judging from last year, it will probably be by the end of October. For now, just feast your eyes with the continuation of my Lush Christmas 2013 products. All about shower this time!
