Time Flies. Doesn't It, April? :) + Musings + Favorites, And Everything In Between

Well, if April could retort, I bet he or she would say that yes, it does. Time flies when you are having fun. 

#SummerFeels...
What is summer without a day or at least half a day at the beach? Still at the local beach in Victoria. :) Great good Friday weather, btw.

Three makes complete. :)

The little lady is still daddy's baby. :)

My daughter's little mermaid moment. Although she was belting Moana medleys.

The Easter Weekend...

The looooong weekend also allowed me and Tin to visit Leyte. We arrived to a stormy weather. Like literally, after crossing the San Juanico Bridge, the weather was really different from Samar's. On Black Saturday, Tacloban's streets were flooded due to the rains brought by Tropical Depression Crising. Thankfully the weather cleared up on Easter Sunday. Hung out at Robinsons Place Tacloban the entire day.

The Posh girls looking fab!

Bunny Love...

There's mayhem if both of them love to hop around, kid and bunny.

Celestine and Napoleon. 

Favorite Products...

Here are some of my much-used products this summer.

For my base, of course I reach for something that has a good amount of SPF. The Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream gives me that plus tons of other skin benefits. For keeping my oily skin and huge pores in check, the Quick FX No-Shine Mattifier has got my back. The Maybelline White Super Fresh Powder Foundation sets my bb cream. Did I mention that it also has SPF 34? I have BYS Contour and Highlighting Kit to thank for my bronzy summer glow. Maybelline's Fashion Brow Palette has been helping me achieve some brows on fleek and I am so in love with it that I'm already thinking of repurchasing it for years and years and years.

For my puckers, I'm also very nude-heavy these days. My favorite is the Maybelline Creamy Matte Color Sensational in Clay Crush. Sometimes I wear it alone or top it with the Burt's Bees 100% Natural Lip Gloss in Sunny Day. Sometimes I wear the gloss alone and it also looks fab. If I want a pinkish hint of color, I go for the Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss. It nourishes my lips really well and doesn't feel heavy.

I've Read...

....Jay Asher's novel called Thirteen Reasons Why. Yes, the Netflix series of the same title is based on this book. I got curious about it when I saw the teaser on Facebook. But then I can't really do Netflix so I decided to just read the book. I'll post a separate review about in the future. It didn't really give me the goosebumps that I expected.

Here's a panoramic shot of the beach front in Victoria , 1 PM-ish, last Good Friday. What's not to love? None, April says. ;) Postcard perfect.
