Laneige: Water Sleeping Pack EX and Water Bank Gel Cream (A Review)

Summer is here and it is already very hot and humid here in the Philippines specially in the afternoon where the temperature can get as high as 35 degrees. I, for one had to hydrate myself by drinking as much fluids as possible to prevent dehydration! But as you know, it isn't only our body that needs to be hydrated. During this period, our skin tends to become dry and flaky because of the intense heat. 

So for today, let me share with you a product that I discovered that is very good in hydration and in keeping my skin healthy and vitalized. 

Let me present you the Water Sleeping Pack EX and Water Bank Gel Cream from the Laneige line.

1) Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX 

What I like about this product is that it is very light when applied to you face. It is so light it easily gets absorbed by your skin you wouldn't even notice that you applied it. It's light blue gel type texture is also non-sticky and it has an aromatic scent that is so calming. (Thanks to the Sleepscent incorporated in this product!)

I use the sleeping pack twice a week but you can use that as necessary. I use this at night before going to sleep. When I wake up in the morning the following day, I feel so fresh and my skin looks so healthy! :) 

Tip: When you're so stressed and had a very rough day, try to inhale the scent of this product for 5 seconds and pretty sure you will feel relaxed after! 


2) Water Bank Gel Cream 

This one is essentially thicker than the Sleeping Pack and I personally use this product in the morning rather than at night. I use this daily as it provides a 24-hour long-lasting moisture to keep me well-hydrated throughout the day. 

So what are you waiting for? Love your skin and start moisturizing! :) 


This product is available in all Laneige Branches here in the Philippines.

Cena gastronómica de la Cova Tapas y Sangria

Last March, Luthie and I decided to avail our long overdue voucher from Deal Grocer and so one fine Monday night we headed to Jupiter Street in Makati and had our dinner at Cova Tapas y Sangria.

The interior looks like that of inside of a whale. (Don't ask me how I figured that out, I also don't know why.. Hehehe)

For starters, we ordered the Huevos Cabreados. Well, this is basically, fried eggs, shoestring potatoes (yes, I also thought of Piknik), crispy chorizo and alioli. This is already quite heavy but nonetheless yummy! Hahaha

Next, for the main course, we ordered this Fideua. /phi-du-wa. This one is composed of squid, clams, short noodles and alioli. It looks scanty but this one serves 3-4 pax though.

Lastly, our dinner will not be complete without the taste of this Summer Peachy White Wine Sangria. Oh man! This sangria is the best! I think I had 3 glasses of this one! It's so refreshing, perfect for a night of small girly talk! Hahaha

A Relaxing Weekend | Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club

Last February, a day after Valentine's Day, my good friend Marge and I went to Batangas (yes, I was in Nasugbu again..) to have a quick break from our sooo busy lives! Hahaha! We wanted to relax and give ourselves a time to breathe so for this getaway we chose Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club in Nasugbu, Batangas as our destination.

Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club is located along Nasugbu Highway and is 10 minutes away from Tagaytay. To go there, you can ride a bus from MRT Taft Station with sign (Nasugbu) via Coastal Road that will take you there in approximately two(2) hours. 

Here are our selfies. LOL

Upon entering, you will be welcomed by their large receiving area where you can see huge statues of Buddha (I think..or some godly structure) and vases and other ornaments that are taller than you are. By the way, I like the violet sofa over there. It so velvety and very soft! Hahaha

After checking in, we were brought by the mini cart to our cabin. And by cabin I mean a log cabin a little like that of below. Ours was on the elevated part though.

Here is the interior of our cabin. The room is so large, I think a few more people could fit inside it. Since it is only the two us, we each have our own queen bed to sleep on.. :D

Here are some of the things that one might actually see inside Chateau Royale. There were lots of fountains and koi ponds and buddha statues. By the way, the picture on the upper left side of the frame is the condotel, another type of accommodation that you can avail.

For other recreational activities, there's also rock climbing (70 feet high), swimming pool, playground for the kids and zip line.

Of course, because I was feeling so strong that day, I did not let myself skip rock climbing! Sadly, I was not able to reach the top, my knees were all shaky when I was in the middle of it. (damn it, back pain!)

The following day, we decided to grab our lunch in Tagaytay. Since I haven't eaten at Bag of Beans, we decided to eat there. And here are our orders, Tocino for Marge and Grilled Fish for me. We also ordered their specialty pie but was not able to take a picture of it na.

That's it for our getaway this February. Hope you enjoyed today's entry. =)
