In Beauty, Literary, Opinions, and Reviews by Wicked YingLeave a Comment

Aqua Peels (aka Hydra facials, Hydradermabrasion) are the new rage in the world of dermabrasion. It was popularized by Korean beauty innovators.

Support Local: Katha Aromatics

In Beauty, Literary, Opinions, and Reviews by Wicked YingLeave a Comment

The next Support Local brand I would like to highlight on the blog is Katha Aromatics. It was a passion project by a couple created by their own needs as a family who are into an all natural and zero-waste lifestyle. Now it has become an expressive brand of handcrafted and aromatic wellness products known as Katha Aromatics. Katha is not just a story of handcrafted products, but also the evolving lifestyles of a young family who loves nature and seeks to preserve it for the next generation.

In Lifestyle by Wicked YingLeave a Comment

“Feminism is wherever feminism needs to be. Feminism need to be everywhere because feminism is not everywhere.

There is a beauty line that’s been taking Butuan City by storm. What’s cool is that I get to be one of the first few to test it out. Woot woot! It might be a little late for me to post a review about this brand but since a number of people have been asking me about it, here we go.
