True Blue Spa by Bath and Body Works Shea Cashmere & Silk

True Blue Spa Box Set
Last July, we received this as one of our uncle's pasalubong from Dubai. For the past years, he's been sending balikbayan boxes for his Christmas presents and they usually give us Bath and Body Works Products. And now, here's one again.

This set of True Blue Spa by Bath and Body Works consists of a Hand Cream, a Shower Cream and a Body Lotion. We usually don't open new lotion or shower cream if there are still a few that are already open but are still not empty so I only got to try the lotion a month after we received it.

Of all the scents Bath and Body Works has formulated, this is by far one of my favorites(still on top are sweet pea and warm vanilla). The best thing I love about the lotion is that, I think of all their products, the scent of this one lasts longer. I am not sure but I think 24 hours or until your next bath. I really love using the lotion and even the Body Cream. My friend also loves it and she said she will buy one for her as well.

Movie Review: Mr. Popper's Penguin


This family movie is definitely a good movie to watch. It makes you laugh without the cheesy lines and the lines that are obviously very much intended to make the viewers laugh. Considering that I just woke up so I was not in the mood and that I don't easily laugh whenever I watch a movie, this movie made me laugh throughout.The mere action of the penguins in the movie and the natural charm and wit Jim Carrey has are very much enough to keep the viewers entertained while watching this movie. The story conveys a good message to the viewers because the twist in the story is really good. Though at the last quarter of the film, most of the lines became too cheesy and "unreal"(i can't think of a word to best describe it), I loved the way they handled the twist and the way they ended the story.

My Rating: 7.5/10

Birds in Paradise

 Blue-and-Yellow Macaw




These are some of the birds we have seen in Pugo Adventure/Pugad at Pugo, La Union when we had our joint council meeting. So sorry though because I don't know what kind of bird is in the 2nd picture and it seems like Mr. G can't help me. hehe!

What's really beautiful about the place is you can feel that you are so close to nature when you're there because of its majestic view, the beautiful landscapes and the different birds there. It's just at the foot of the mountain and is just a few walks away to the river. A great place to go to when you want to get it touch with nature :)
