Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

-
I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

Since I was supposed to go the National Library today, but didn't because I misplaced my library i.d. I was really looking forward to visiting the library to read ' Barangay ' by William Henry Scott and 'The Fireless Inferno' by Arnel Salgado. Sure, there are scans of them online but I also have to research a bit for school, so I was feeling down. (I don't really want to pay 100 bucks to replace my lost i.d. since I'm sure it's just here around somewhere.) To cheer me up, my sister went to MC (Malabon Citisquare), a small shopping center near our house to buy me some food. She came home with a creme brulee frappe , a chocolate frappe, a strawberry crepe and a chocolate crepe. I was surprised since MC isn't the type of place where you'll find that sort of food (the place is crawling with siomai stands and the like).

Mabini Home Bake Shop

I love cream puffs. It's no secret that it's my favorite choux based pastry. My favorite would be Peter Pan Bakery's cream puffs. It's located in Banawe, and I can't always go there as much as I would like. So, whenever I have a serious cream puff craving and can't go to Banawe, I buy cream puffs at Mabini Home Bake Shop. Taken while waiting for the cream puffs Mabini Home Bakeshop is a quaint bakeshop in Mabini Street, Caloocan. It's a few minutes away (on foot) from San Roque Parish. They have been on business since 1966, and that's a long time. With that alone, you'd be almost sure that you won't get disappointed with their food. Their cream puffs are not too sweet, and is available in two different sizes. They also have other goodies, but aside from their cream puffs I've only tried their cookies (which are also good).
