Ishigaki Premium Plus Glutathione

So here's another story about my glutathione journey, this time , I am going to review, Ishigaki Premium 30 tablets .

First off, I tried the 60 casules brand before but I only tried it for a month, this time I decided to try the premium one which has 30 tablets in a bottle.



Ishigaki
Serving Size 1 capsule- 850 mg
Servings per container- 30 capsules

Supplement Facts:
Glutathione Tri-Peptide:

L- Glutamic Acid 200 mg
L- Cysteine 200 mg
Glacine 200 mg

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine 100 mg
L-Methionine 50 mg
L-Proline 50 mg
L- Threonine 50 mg


I will be walking down the aisle, (ehem!) not as a bride but as a brides maid, ut still , I want this event to be perfect for a friend so I am doing the best of preparation that I can do. And just a simple story, I never imagine my bestfriend to be walking down the aisle since when we were in highschool, she was the boyish type and she used to court girls before, so it's a big news when she announced that she ha a boyfriend and even a bigger news when she told us she is getting married. I am so happy for her.

So going back, in the instruction on the bottle, the dosage is one to two tablets per day. But me, trying to be fair as possible, tried 3 tablets per day, I got a promotion anyway, I was able to score it at P2400 for 3 bottles, so P2400 for a month's used of glutathione is not a bad deal anymore. Also, the wedding will be in July so I need to make sure I am fair as possible since the theme would be navy blue.

I take my 1st pill at 8pm, 2nd pill at 4 am then the last one at 12nn. I work at night so dont get surprised about the time I take in my meds. Each of the pills are taken with Vitamin C.

The Result
First bottle. 10 days used.
Almost everyone is complementing my complexion though I cant tell whether this is because of the glutathione I am taking or the rejuvenating cream. I always wear long sleeves anyway so most of the time, my office mates only gets to see my face.

Though in pictures where I get to show my arms and legs, I am definitely glowing.

Ill be updating this post everytime I finish a bottle to give guys an update.


I am already half of my second bottle anyway.

My Laybare Brazilian Experience



Summer will be few days from now and I know everyone got their long list of plans this long weekend, as for me, my friends and I are just going to do staycation at one of the resorts near Metro, too bad, we have work on weekends and that's the reason why we can't afford to go out of town.



Anyways, speaking of swimming, well, you know the drill on staycation, most of the hotels and condotels are very strict on their swimming pools rules, when they say that swimwear is required, then it is required, so preparing my favorite swimwear, I realized that I have to start cleaning down there as well.



I am always into shaving. This is the first I am "really"doing Brazilian Wax. "really" since before I have already considerd doing it.



Place

As always the facility is clean and smell like spa. I have always done my eyebrow threading at Lay Bare so I already know that they keep their place very hygeinic. I am not only talking about one branch of laybare but I am talking to every branch that I have been to. Since I am travelling a lot, One of those things I always forget to do before vacation was to do my eyebrows, good thing Lay bare has its branches nationwide.



Preparation

They will ask you if you shave and when was the last time you did it. It was better to grow out some hair since waxing needs something to hold on to to make the waxing more convenient.

They will ask you to do wash your area first before going to the room. I also recommend not to wear tight clothing. I was wearing leggings when I did my brazilian Wax



Process.

Of course, for first timers, its a shame that somebody else is looking at your vajayvaj. But keep on mind that this people are pro. My technician , Arlene,is wearing gloves and is very friendly that I dont feel intimidated at all. She told me what to expect. First is she put powder on my area to get rid of extra water on it. They of course the waxing begins.



IS IT PAINFUL? The honest answer is Yes. It is but as for me, that is used to waxing, I already know what kind of pain to expect. You can ask her anytime if you cant handle the pain anymore but she recommended to continue the process until the area is already dumb not to feel the pain.



After waxing, and if there were hairs that were not pulled out, It will be pulled out by tweezers, whih is more painful. So I highly recommend to, again, to grow out hairs before doing the session.

After the session.

It's a different kind of clean feel, you are confident enough that there is no hairs left down there and compared to shaving where you can feel still feel something down there, with brazilian wax, everything feels fresh.

They will also tell you to avoid washing the area for the next 6 hours.

NEXT SESSION
They will also tell you to avoid shaving so that the hairs will grow out thinly next time. Recommended next session is after 6 weeks.

Over all experience.
I am already looking forward to my next session though It is really painful, the result is worthy.

I Diner's Unlimited Chicken Wings

Finally, After how many months and plan, I finally was able to try the I-Diner's Unlimited Chicken.

After an overnight swimming with my friends, I decided to try out I- Diner's Unlimited Chicken, we were so hungry since we haven't taken our breakfast yet so we thought that this is the best time to be pigging out. We are aware that the opening of the store is at 11 in the morning, so we waited a bit for brunch. But then, the Ukay-ukay just around the corner have sale on going so we ended up going to the restaurant few minutes past 1 pm. No breakfast, no lunch, I'm going to be make sulit of the Unlimited Chicken!

Unlimited Chicken is priced at P299 with unlimited Iced Tea and Rice. But being the hungry pigs that we are, we also ordered their Oreo Frappe, my friend tried the Caramel Frappe as well.

Here's their Frappe


Unlimited Chicken comes with three flavors, Buffalo, Garlic and Teriyaki.

Each serving comes with three pieces of Chicken Wings with the same flavor and if you wanted to order again, then you can opt for another flavor that will come in three pieces again. Each order comes with unlimited Iced Tea as well

My friend's first order is buffalo chicken while I tried garlic, we exchange one piece of chicken so I can try the buffalo flavor. The garlic flavor, for me was a bit dry, but I really loved their Buffalo one, not to spicy though.

My order which is the Garlic Chicken

Unlimited Iced Tea, which I wasn't able to make sulit since I ordered the Frappe



My friend's order, Buffalo chicken



My next order was the teriyaki flavor which I loved as well, while my friend ordered another set of Buffalo.

My second order, Teriyaki flavor


I though to my self that I can do another serving but then when I was finishing my last piece of chicken, then the antok kicks in. Which is the reason why I raised the white flag and told myself that I'll make bawi next time. I wasn't even able to finish my frappe since I am too full.

The place is nice and clean as always. You can read my previous post about this in this link.



The only thing that I don't like is they only have three piece of flavors to choose from. Aside from it, I've always love everything. You don't even have to ask the servers to refill your drinks which is a plus points for me.

Here's their menu by the way, check out their other foods and drinks .


Am I still going back? Yup, but I would like to try their other dishes as well.

Droplet of Nature Rejuvenating Set Review

We have been taught that the usual beauty routine includes making sure that your face is cleansed, then do the toner and creams after.I have been trying a lot of different products on my skin that I rarely buy a "pack" or 'set" for my products. Then I usually stick with my usual routine since trying out new products might cause me more breakouts.

But lately, due to stress at work and non stop school activities, I experienced my worst break out ever. Lots of acnes on my forehead stresses me more. I was planning to visit my favorite facial center but then decided to try this product first to test whether it is working or not. My office mates have been raving about this product that I was convinced to give it a try.

The set includes a kojic soap which can be used in your face and body. A toner, night cream and sunblock.




How to Use




First Impressions


  • Kojic Soap

Just like the package says, to cleanse the face first using the soap and leave it for at least 2 to 3 minutes. I did what the package says but I think I had leave it on for more than 3 minutes since I was brushing my teeth while I had it on. Though I had it on longer than the said minutes, it doesn't sting as I was expecting. yes, it does sting a bit, since its kojic soap, but with the acnes that I got, its not the worst that I have experience.


  • Toner

After cleansing I used cotton pad to wipe toner on my face, it does feels cold and it does gets all the dirt that the kojic soap wasn't able to remove.


  • Night Cream

Funny story here, since I work at night, i was actually contemplating whether to use night cream on day time, since I work at night , so my sched is kind weird, I thought, to use sunblock when i am sleeping since its hot while I am sleeping and to use night cream when I go to work since I don't see the sun on my way to work, but then , I realized that I still need sun block when I got off to work, so I just decided to use night cream when I sleep even it is day time.

This night cream is really nice to use, It made my skin feels soft and smooth. Even after washing my face I still taught that it was still there since I can still feel it on my skin.


  • Sunblock


Though it i thick to apply, it doesn't feel thick at my skin. It still feels like you were wearing nothing. Though as it stays longer on your skin, it felt a it stingy, I am thinking that this is the overall effect of the products I applied the whole night. My skin started to start getting red as the end of my shift at work approaches.
I have told you guys that I have already seen my office mates used this and during their first few days, I have seen there faces turn red as if they had sun burn, so I was kind of expecting the same thing.

Updates
Ill be updating this post every once in a while every time I see changes on my skin.

Day 1
My skin gets red just before my shift ends.
Day 2
When I woke up, I noticed my skin started peeling. The application of soap and toner was irritating but it's tolerable for me since I have a high tolerance with pain. It feels like there is a burning sensation but it doesn't made my skin look red. After putting on the sunblock, it did made my peeling look more apparent, too bad I have to go to the office looking like this, but the good thing is I just have to sit all day and not wander around with a face like this.
Day 3
The peeling has been very apparent and it became more visible when I applied sunblock on it. Have to wear face mask since third of my faces is peeling.
Fun story though, since it's avail and I don't have anything to do at work, I enjoyed peeling the pieces on my face.

March 11 Update:

I am actually on the second box now, I stopped for about a week though because it took a while before my next order arrived.


Overall,I like the changes that happened on my skin that's why I am going to continue this regime.

My office mate saw the changes on my skin and my bother is even interested to try this package as well.


The only this is that since I stopped for a while, I think my skin will peel again. So the tiis-ganda part will start again. Though the peeling is not the same anymore compared to the one I have before. The peeing this time is very unnoticeable and can be covered up by the sunblock that comes with the package.



My skin has the BB Cream effect and was a bit reddish that I looked like I put a bit of blush on. After this box I will be ordering the Clarifying Set which I think is the maintenance set. So I will keep you posted guys .


UPDATE!!
After two boxes of Rejuvenating Set, I can confidently say that my skin got a lot better. My pimples dried out and most of my friends are laready asking what my secret is. My skin looks young and has a BB Cream effect. It looked glowing even though I lak sleep and is not wearing any make up on.

 I already ordered the Maintenance Set but I was given the Bleaching Set instead which up until now, I am still thinking about using since my face is already fair and its already a skintone lighter than my neck. Maybe I will be using this to even out the complexion on my neck and face as well. So watch out for another review here

PH 338 Review

Hi there, so today, I decided  to try a different brand of glutathione. Another one from Japan, well  I am in an on and off relationship with this brand, I have been trying it for weeks, then I'll forget about it then I'll decide to give  it a try again. I actually can't remember the time that I was able to take it for a complete month, so today, january, part of my new year's resolution is to take this medicine religiously. . I'm going to give it another go and try to use this for the next 2 months.

Unlike other glutathione brands with other vitamins on it,
 it is a pure potent with 100 mg of glutathione on it and it is the one that makes this unique. Since it has no other vitamins on it, you have to separately drink it with Vitamins C.

Cheska's online shop offers trial pack for P600 and that is going to be good for 10 days,  but if you want to commit to it for a month, it is going to be P1450 for 90 tablets.

As always, I ordered and paid my order the same day and after two days, the packaged arrived at my doorstep. The tablets, though in blister pack was still packed in a box and was wrapped in a bubble wrap to make it secured.

I drink it three times a day with 500 mg each, since I have a very unique schedule, i drink mine when I wake up at 9pm, then the next one with be at 3 in the morning and the last is before I sleep at 9 in the morning as well.

I'll be updating this post every once in a while if there are any changes that I'll see.

Cafe Avenue

Before New Year, my whole family decided to celebrate the New Year's at our province but since I have work at New Years Eve, i don't have any choice but to stay at home alone while they take their vacation.

Staying at home alone, means I have to tend for myself, which I may not very good. So the solution? I have to eat out everyday.

So one very early morning, when I was craving for Tapsilog, I decided to just walk around to look for restaurant that is open at 5 in the morning.

Lucky  or not, I stumbled one cafe at MCI. I was about to order their Tapsilog but then they told me that it's not available anymore.With a heavy heart, I decided to just order their burger and a Matcha drink.
















The place is very relaxing nd one look an you can already tell that the owner of the Cafe is a religious. The whole place is filled with bible quotes and positive phrases. Even the songs are about Christian songs.

The place is big that they can even cater to debuts, christening and other events.

While waiting for my order, one of the servers approached me and asked if its okay that my drink wont have whipped cream on it, which  I don't mind at all.

While I was told that my drink won't have any whipped cream at all, I wasn't told that my burger wont have any veggies as well. Well, I am not a veggie lover but  I have read that my order will come with tomatoes, but then it only is pure meat..
 2 patties, ham and bun, that's it.




Though I didn't enjoy the food, and since I don't want to ruin my very early morning, I just decided to go with it.






After a while, I just decided to go home since It's already past 6 am. So I decided to go to the restroom but  before going here I told the servers to pack my left overs so I can take it home. It took me a while upstairs since there  are a lot of books and pictures to take. When I went down, I noticed that my food is still at my table, I told the servers again to have my food packed. Then they told me to bring my leftover at the counter and they'll have it packed, which I think is not the best idea since when I did that, all the other customers were looking at me, perhaps, thinking if i was one of the servers as well. Not a very good customer service there. I just didn't like the idea of leaving food since, one it will be a waster, and second, I still paid for it.

So, here's my not very nice review of Cafe Avenue.

Altamira Place

Our original plan was to try out a restaurannt in Trece Martirez cavite that offers Unlimited Wings, but my friend Abby is not craving for chicken and don't think that she'll be able to take advantage of the unlimited wings if we eat it at our breakfast, undecided, we started to walk to Robinson. Our first plan was to try out Cup and Saucer but found out that it was closed. Checking out the time, its already 9:50 and Robinsions Mall is go open in more or less 10 mins, so we just decided to have SnR instead. But being the undecided girls that we are, we just decided to eat at " instead which is just a floor above SnrR

I have been in Robinsons a lot and would usually just passed this Cafe and this is the first time I tried it. I actually thought that they only offer pastries and coffees in this cafe, but this time I earned that they have a wide variety of menu.




From waffles to pastas, to breakfast. name it, they have it. I ordered which I didn't realized will be a big serving. Even with a help from a friend, I still wasnt able to finish it.



And as for the drinks, I ordered.




My friend order waffles which I forget to take picture

The place is relaxing even though it's open since not a lot of customer pass through this area since its the end wing.

The Meeting Place

Leaving alone is not very good for me since that means I have to do all the cooking by myself, not that I dont know how to take care of my self, but admit it, cooking and eating when you are alone is really boring and lonely and that's the reason why I prefer taking my breakfast and lunch outside.






And also, this time, after travelling for more than 6 hours, I prefer not to cook anymore since I might fall asleep, which is not very safe for me and my house as well.

So after taking a short nap after I arrived home, I woke up very hungry, so I decided to take my very late lunch at one of the nearest place at my house which is The Meeting Place. I have been going back and forth at this restaurant not because of their food but becuase they also have a shop inside that offers varierty of fahsion items.

The place has a rustic kind of design which is great for those "tambay" moments that most of us like to enjoy. The place is relaxing and since I went there at 2 pm , there were not a lot of customers at that time so I was able to relax and enjoy the moment of being alone.

I ordered there recommended and best seller Buttered Chicken which is Php which comes with rice and two piceces chicken. It also comes with a free Iced Tea.

Even with the free iced tea that came with the food, i still liked to order Caramel Frappe but they are not available anymore. So I decided to just have mango Shake instead which comes in a very cute Light Bulb Glass bottle



The Chicken Butter was really good though I wasnt able to eat the other piece since I am alreayd full, I was planning to order another rice but decided to just have the other piece to go.





Overall, I enjoyed my quick stay at The Meeting Place and was planning to try out their other meals soon since my dad and brother doesnt have any plans yet to go at home.

I have always planned to eat in this restaurant since I saw their post on facebook about their Unlimited Wings, i have already tried unlimited wings before in other restaurants, blog here, but i wanted to see which one is better,







Here's a funny story on how I end up eating here, From my office, it will take about an hour or so to get home, but since I am on a graveyard shift, and this day has been very exhusting to me, I ended up sleeping at the bus. But then , since I am so tired, I ended up passing through my bus stop and ended up alighting at SM Bacoor, where I Diner is located.

Well, since it's alrady past lunch and I never liked going inside SM, I decided to have my lunch here, though I was dying to have there Unlimited Chicken, I told myself to try it next time when I am with my buddies. So I decided to try there Bacon Burger and their Vanilla Caramel Latte.
