Dermcare Luxe / Where Am I?

 With the stressful rush of last minute holiday shopping, my Aunt and I found ourselves in this dazzling corner at SM Seaside as we were buying gifts for the family. I've been meaning to have my bacne (tmi? idc lol) cleaned and I couldn't find it in myself to spend a thousand for a session of pimple clearing. I'm just too much of a cheap-o when it comes to self-pampering. I'd rather spend Php.300 on a good, notebook than a facial TBH. But upon seeing Dermcare Luxe's prices (which were surprisingly affordable) I was sold. 

I mean, srsly. Who would think that this sparkling, luxurious clinic was affordable? They have soft velvety chairs, crystal chandeliers, gleaming marble tiles and the inside of the clinic where they pamper their clients looks like a dream. Read on to see more!

This is where they do the face related services. 
This is where I lay down for 45 minutes as the "ate" prodded, pricked and scrubed the shit out of my back. I apologize for the lack of a photo of me being enjoying their service. I am bad at taking selfies using a super heavy DSRL while I wince in pain as I am mildly operated (fuck I still feel the paaaiiinnnnn *cry*). 
Overall Review

1. Customer Service : 8/10 Only because we were mildly judged. When we went to the clinic, my Aunt and I were dressed super casually. I didn't have make-up on, my hair was finger-brushed and I probably had burger stains on my shirt because we ate at Patty Pie earlier that day. They didn't say anything bad at all, but they were looking at us pretty weirdly. Like "are they sure they're serious about getting the services" kind of look. I know that look pretty well. If I had a penny for every.single.time I received that look, I could probably buy a new camera hahaha. But at least they were civil enough to talk to us as we asked questions. And when they were pretty talkative and engaging as they did our chosen service. 

2. Services : 7/10 I've only had one service and I'm scheduled to go weekly to keep the acne away for good but so far, they're pretty good at it. 

3. Interior : 10/10 Probably even eleven out of ten. Their interior will make you feel like a princess once you enter the clinic. Such an instagrammable place!

4. Price : 9/10 If you're a dermawhore, you'll see what I mean once you see their price range. But to lay it all out, Dermcare Luxe is way cheaper than Flawless and Dermstrata. My sister goes to Flawless and justifies the price because of its popularity and she also says that it's pretty good there. But I'm if you're getting the same service for a lower price, what's there to think about? Dermstrata (for me) is overpriced. And their interior makes them look like a dental clinic tbh.

5. Overall:★★★★

I hope you guys enjoyed my very first beauty related review! Let me know if you plan to visit Dermcare Luxe. I can tweet you or message you a photo of their brochure. Don't forget to tag me if you post on any social media site, alright? You can use the hashtag #hellobenj and I promise I reply to everything! 

Xo, Benj.

Feel Good List : 10 Things You Can Do For You #SelfLoveSeries

Hello and welcome back! Coming at you straight away with 10 little things you can do to give in little kicks of self-care and self-love. Some are quite personal but you can try them out and share with me your thoughts about it. This might not be for everyone but I'm still excited for the ones who can relate. Let's get started! 1 . Watch a movie alone. Like, literally alone. No social media posts, no telling a bunch of people that you're going to watch a movie alone, now whatever. It makes the experience private and special. 2.  Listen to Ted Talks. You're learning + getting inspiration. It's a win-win situation. 3 . Listen to a podcast that talks about things you genuinely care about. Currently, I'm listening to The Minimalists podcast by Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn. 4 . When you're travelling home from work and have the chance to see the sky as you walk to your bus stop or any terminal or anytime you have the chance to lo

Tatak C3: Blogging Workshop for Aspiring Bloggers by Cebu Content Creators

There is more to this day than just this workshop and I promise I'll tell you all about it but for now, I give you a glimpse of what it's like to attend a workshop organized by Cebu Content Creators on a Saturday afternoon.  The workshop, by the way, is called Blogging for First-Timers   and it was hash tagged as #BFFWorkshop . It was held at Handuraw, Mango last July 29, 2017 . When I found out about the workshop, truth be told, I was hesitant to register. I had a bad experience with a blogging workshop last June. It was a total scam. I won't say any detail about the last workshop I attended because I don't want them to have any kind of traffic/views/searches. Good thing I didn't let my fear of being scammed again stop me and registered for this one though. I wouldn't have known all the things that they shared and taught us. 06.2017. #TatakC3 A post shared by Cebu Content Creators (@cebucontentcreators) on May 30, 2017 at 9:20pm PDT

In A World of Mindless Monsters

It's not like I need another online outlet to blabber about my issues, right? And just like any other millennial, I too have a blog I have forgotten since I stopped having free time and "life" started to happen.  But now that life really is starting to happen, I revert back to this blank page. To this blinking dash on my screen waiting for me to write the next word that pops into my mind. I guess, that apart from my ego, this blinking dash is the only thing that is waiting for me to write again. Ah, writing. What a fun anecdote. I think of writing in the form of success. Books after book written into being a New York Times Bestseller *crowd goes wild!* or a story that goes viral because of witty writing. But right now, writing is this. An outlet for a 20-something, hardly making it millennial that doesn't have much to say except, life's a fucking bitch. Because in a world of mindless monsters, including myself, I still find the world to be so mind-boggling that ca
