If you've read my previous post "Skin Care Empties" I've had quite a few skin care stuff that I've emptied out. Yay for that! So naturally I have to replace them, and here's what I got. By the way, I've been using all these for over a week now, so I can say that I'm quite happy with them.

naFlora restore feminine wash 60ml
- retails around Php 62.00

Out of all the feminine washes I've tried, I think I finally hit the jackpot! I've tried, Betadine, Lactacid, PH Care, Gynepro and finally naFlora.  It really does relieve itchiness, and really feels refreshing after washing. It has a really mild scent which I love and gives a really minty sensation. In addition to that, the packing is awesome, it doesn't use a flip cap.

- retails around Php 119.00

I really looked for this body lotion when I saw MaricarlJanah raved about this on her February Wins video. And guess what I love it too! It smells so good and the texture is perfect. It isn't sticky at all and it absorbs quickly too but others might find the consistency a little thick. My skin really feels soft and moisturized after applying. I only use this at night  or days that I don't get exposed under the heat of the sun because it doesn't have SPF.

- retails around Php 98.00

I haven't noticed the lightening effect this lotion yet since I've only been using it for a week. But it did do a pretty good job with protecting my skin. I've tried walking around under the heat of the sun for hours and my skin darkened only very slightly. The scent is mild and texture is nice. Its definitely not sticky and I like the fact that it's not too thick like other whitening lotions are.

This is the first body wash I've used regularly. I've tried body washes before but mostly free stuff that my dad brings from his trip...LOL. I'm really liking this, it's really moisturizing and it also lathers very well. It smells really mild, almost like baby powder. In addition to that, it also contains really fine beads which is almost unnoticeable.

After all the raves I've read about this body scrub I finally gave in. Okay, so here's what I think about it. Haven't seen any whitening effect yet, well it's only been a week. It's super moisturizing but I think the scent is a little too overwhelming for me.  It does a pretty decent job as a body scrub but I've already tried something better. So in conclusion, this scrub is pretty much average.

I'm not really sure about the prices above so I just placed a very close estimate from what I can remember on the top of my head. And Oh, I also bought the Neutrogena pure mild facial cleanser and repurchased the Maybelline Eye and Lip Makeup Remover, I just forgot to include them in the photo.

This is it for now.

I'm excited to show this, since I've finished several Skin Care products that I've been using for a couple of months. It just feels great to really finish and empty out a bottle or a tube.

So here it is from Left to Right:

SkinWhite whitening body lotion Papaya Variant.
Celeteque facial wash
GynePro feminine wash
Celeteque facial moisturizer
L'Occitane body lotion
Maybelline Eye and Lip Makeup remover
Human Nature Body Butter Mango variant

L'Occitane can be found at Rustan's. It was gift from my best friend, she actually gave me 2 bottles of the lotion. It smells really good and it's super moisturizing. As for the Human Nature Body Butter, I got it from my mom before I became a Human Nature dealer, you can visit their website HERE or you can contact me if you want to purchase Human Nature products.  The rest of those products are items I purchased at Watson's, my favorite Beauty Store.

And also, I would like you to know that the SkinWhite papaya variant smells super nice and it has SPF10 as well, you should try it out!

This is it for now.

My hubby and I always eat at "Casa Verde" restaurant which is really known here in Cebu for their famous baby back ribs aka "Brian's Ribs". And I just have to point out that they're ribs are to die for! Their price for the ribs is only Php188.00 for a huge serving of savory baby back ribs. I'll definitely show you more photos when we go back there.

Anyway, this is my first attempt on cooking Pork Spare Ribs and it was a success! yay! My hubby really loved it.


Curious how I did it ?

Here's the list of Ingredients I used.
1. Pork Ribs
2. Oyster Sauce
3. Worcestershire Sauce
4. Salt
5. Ground Black Pepper
6. Red Onions
7. Garlic
8. Sprite

It's really easy to do.

I marinated the chopped ribs for about an hour with, salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce and a little bit of soy sauce (silver swan). I wanted to add a little bit of barbecue sauce in it but we didn't have one at the time.

Then I sauteed the chopped red onions and garlic on a casserole pan with just enough vegetable oil in it. After about 30 seconds, I then placed my marinated ribs on the casserole pan and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Finally, I poured in about half a liter of the Sprite soda just enough to cover the whole pork ribs and heated it with low fire.

Then all there is to do now is wait  until the ribs are tender and the soda has caramelized. It took about 45 minutes to cook and voila it's done!

This is it for now.
