Timeless Beauty

I just had a short vacation in Boracay recently with my husband. It was a brief weekend getaway for just the two of us. It served as a time to reconnect with each other, especially since we had a big fight the night before. All in all, the relaxation we enjoyed in Boracay was rejuvenating. I didn't even mind the little tan I had from swimming without a sunscreen. Luckily, I did not get burned by the sun! It was just an hour or two of dipping in the clear waters of Boracay, but my skin already darkened to a nice dark tan. However, it did not remain that way for long. My skin promptly returned to a lighter brown. I was using a whitening lotion with SPF 50 and a whitening soap with high kojic acid content.

It is safer and more comfortable. A slide may be also used, but sometimes, slides have a way of buildi...

Cinco de Mayo has gone past us. We may have seen men and women dance to lively music and singing Mexican songs. For non-Mexicans, however, Cinco de Mayo signifies a time for revelry and merrymaking, which include rowdy parties with drunken young men and young women in slutty costumes looking like sexy señoritas in high heels. Far from the rowdy and sexy parties, Cinco de Mayo is actually a historical celebration of the victory of Mexican forces against the French army in 1862.
