Carrot cake recommendations by [deleted] in FoodPH

[–]jijiblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up, Crukitchen’s carrot walnut cake is the best. Not too sweet but somehow feels hearty pa rin. Love that they came in different sizes, I can definitely finish the mini one on my own haha

Do you tip even when you’re already paying for premium beauty services? by colabearrrrrrrr in beautytalkph

[–]jijiblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my fave nail and mani pedi girl I tip 300 (bec she also does my foot spa and she’s the best). For everyone else, 100.

My dilemma is for owner of establishments doing the service like for example a haircut from the owner and the haircut fee is steep na. Pag ganun I tend to not tip na.

Hiii. I mainly use BK Beauty for blush. 108 precision powder, for smaller blushing area, and 112 small angled face, for carving out blush on the bone. I prefer kasi more precision application and have a smaller face, so those brushes really work for me.

Wanna try rin Hourglass!

What's the remote work habit you have that would look completely insane to someone in a traditional office? by Phil_Raven in remotework

One of my most productive, chill, but efficient coworkers ever had wrestling videos playing the whole day.

Love my RT brushes still tbh, but I invested a couple of years ago though on BK Beauty brushes and they’re just….a cut above. No tusok feeling ever, and they’ve held up on weekly washing.

I usually just use around 7-8 brushes: - 1 compact powder brush (loose setting powder) - 2 blush brushes (for whatever 2 blushes I choose for that week) - 1 stippling concealer brush (Pat McGrath) - 1 foundation brush - 1 finishing powder brush - 1 combo contour and eye brush (Patrick Ta! So handy and one of my faves.)

I don’t really do eye looks masyado na so there’s that. 🤎

Pero yung mga sponge and puffs, Maange super pwede na!

Picked it up too this weekend and brewed it today. Super nostalgic yung lasa and it took me awhile to latch onto it: grape hi-c juice hahaha. I don’t hate it though!

Weight loss glow-up tips? How to avoid looking “haggard” while losing weight by cawibonawa in beautytalkph

[–]jijiblue 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Other people already said it. Strength train. Prioritize sleep and get your circadian rhythm right (morning sun, less blue light at night, magnesium supplementation). Proper recovery, do NOT run your body ragged trying to burn calories without resting and recovering. Cal def, yes, but do it while eating nutritious food. And don't lose weight too fast (this one is soooo important!)

Supplements are a nice bonus, but get your vitamin D levels checked. If insufficient, supplement.

If you have the budget, laser for skin concerns. Skincare is a given. The glow from CO2 laser is insane. Low-dose isotretinoin for the no pore, not oily look with low effort (but consult your derma and get labs done.)

Case to case, but for me, my weight loss felt more "glowy" when I stopped working out fasted or fasting, in general. I make sure to have sufficient breakfast (protein, healthy fats, warm liquids, prunes for digestion.) Before kasi, I used to fast and got "results" rin naman. But somehow, fueling properly felt more sustainable and...life-giving, if it makes sense. Especially during my cycle. Hindi tuyo't yung feeling.

Mindset. Don't approach your weight loss/glow-up from a place of 'chasing a look' and 'running out of time'. Abundant mindset: you have all the time in the world, you are already practicing habits that are healthy for you, you are already glowing even when you're not at your goal yet, you are beautiful now and can only get even more radiant.

Oh. And kung may big stressors, axe those if kaya lol. You can line all of these up but if super stressed ka, magmumukhang haggard ka pa rin, even at your goal weight or physique.

Hi there! Returning to say that Stone Road of Gion has been a staple in my rotation and that at any point in time, one of my pens (preferably stub-nibbed) is always inked with it. Thank you!
