When I was in the US, I had to stop by Sephora. I love Sephora. I can stay there for hours just looking at all the various products. They don’t have a Sephora in Hong Kong (probably because property prices are so high here), but they do have a HK beauty chain called Sasa. Sasa is okay, but doesn’t carry all the latest products like Sephora does. Anyway, every time that I go to Sephora, the first thing I look…
When I arrived, I found out that the food at The Farm Spa is completely vegetarian and pretty much all raw (only the soups are cooked). It is good to cleanse like this once in a while, but I’m really craving a good steak right now!! I’ve been eating three full meals a day with fruits as snack because that is all that they have, but I’ve quickly lost 3 pounds in two days! I wasn’t expecting to lose weight…
Coming to The Farm Spa in San Benito, Philippines, was not an easy task! I asked the Spa to arrange for car pick up at airport, but they got the dates mixed up so they were not there to meet me. I took a regular taxi, but before I got in, I repeatedly asked the driver, “You definitely know where this place is, right?” He said, “Yes, of course!” Well, turns out that he knew how to get to Lipa…
I just landed in Hong Kong (yes, I wore a snail mask on the flight). Am on my way to The Farm Spa in Manila. Can’t wait. Before I left San Francisco, I went to my sister’s office (she is a dermatologist) and tried the Vampire Facial (aka “Platelet Rich Plasma” (PRP)). My friend also went with me to try it. They take some blood from you and then spin it in a centrifuge in order to separate the plasma…
I LOVE this stuff. In Korea, this is a big hit and as I mentioned in my first blog, I really like the Tony Moly one. I’ve been using it for six months and it has made an incredible difference in the texture of my skin. I know, snail slime … gross, but trust me ladies, it really works. I use it in the morning and in the evening and what I noticed is that my pores are smaller, my face…
My awesome girlfriends from Stanford Executive Program suggested that I start a blog because I love to talk about skincare, cosmetics, etc. Given that we are not getting any younger and there are so many new products out there, we (“we” meaning “mature” ladies) should share about what works and what doesn’t. You see all these tweets of young women and youtube videos on make up tutorials — they all look amazing, but as we age, some of us will…
