  • I Have Found the Best Yogurt Ever! And It’s Not Expensive!

    I Have Found the Best Yogurt Ever! And It’s Not Expensive!

    I have officially found my most favoritest yogurt ever! I saw this Karoun Greek-style Yogurt with Honey at S&R last weekend. It was on sale at P99.95 from P179.95! I wasn’t expecting much.

Aquino’s eulogy. What. Was. That. Even after 5…

    I’ve been coloring my hair on and off for years – at first, because I wanted to try new hair colors, and later because I needed to cover gray hair. I started getting white hair early. Maybe it’s the old wives’ tale of sleeping with hair wet that caused the early onset of graying. It’s…
