For the past few days since Christmas I, along with my family members, have been on a mission to finish all the leftovers. Last night I ate the remnants of the turkey and this morning I ate two slices of apple pie for breakfast. Ughh any more food and someone will have to bring a wheelbarrow to carry me from place to place because I am seriously stuffed. The funny thing is no matter how full I am there is always room for dessert which explains the two of slices of pie this morning: the first was for my actual breakfast and the second was for my dessert. Gross. But ahhh laahhvs it.
Anyway bunch of coworkers and I got into a pretty hilarious conversation about weird names and I ultimately won the debate because that seems to be what Filipinos do best — giving their offsprings the most wacky, weird, unique names. I knew of a guy in grade school back home who was unfortunate enough to be named Gaylord. That name would have been the bees knees in the 1800′s, but I’m afraid it just won’t fly with modern sensibilities. We’re a very peculiar bunch. There’s Cherie Pie (an actress), Saab (yes, as in the car brand Saab), Ding Dong (a very popular actor), my bf knows of siblings named after the primary colours (Red, Yellow, Blue). Every family seems to have a Tita (aunt) Girl or Girly/lie and a Tito Boy — obvious much?! Our most prized export, Manny Pacquiao’s wife recently gave birth to a baby girl named Queen Elizabeth. I once googled weird Filipino names and found a gold mine: Van Go, Magic Chiongson, Sunshine (oh how dreadful it is to be her on a really bad day), Engscowani (for
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), the list goes on. I’m still laughing in my corner trying not to make it too obvious, but it was just SO funny.
ANYWAY, before I go off tangent once more, I introduce you to Shiseido’s The Skincare Night Moisture Recharge. This moisturizer is seriously the shiznit; just heavenly. It moisturizers very well, but is not sticky at all. It has a very faint fagrance that I can tolerate and just one teensy weensy pump is enough to cover your entire face.
A multi-action nighttime revitalizer that counteracts signs of daytime damage and delivers intensive hydrating benefits to skin while you sleep. Restores softness, smoothness, and a healthy-looking glow. Smooth over face each evening after cleansing and balancing skin.
What I seriously love about this moisturizer is that it keeps your face moisturized and soft all day long. However, I’m not feeling the hefty price tag ($55 CAD for a 75 ml bottle). But since you only need one tiny pump per application, this bottle lasted almost two months.
I use the Night Moisture Recharge for the day and night since I already have a separate sunscreen that I use regularly. The Night Moisture Recharge, I find, is not too heavy to wear during the day; at least it isn’t for my skin type (my skin is combination with a tendency to go dry during the dry winter months). If you have oilier skin, an option would be their Night Moisture Recharge Light. Perfection!
