i'm maki, a 28-year-old stay-at-home mom. my MAKEUP SHAKEUP will deal mainly on beauty but i now have recently spread my wings to encompass other topics.
i love discovering how other people live & would love to share a peek into my life too.
i love a cozy blogosphere and my co-bloggers are considered my friends.
these past few days i've been feeling lazy putting on makeup. the reason..
that's my naked face. absolutely nothing in there.
might not be a big deal for you sisses. for all i know, your skin looks much much better. but for me, at almost 28 years old, i'm happy to see my skin looking and feeling like this. after all, seeing old people from my class, i can be proud that i'm one of those who look the least "harrassed" and worn out.
not that im thrashing anyone but all those things like vices (caffeine, nicotine, alchohol, prohibited drugs, sex), stress, illness, mothering (or fathering), work, sun exposure etcetera can all add up to tired, old, sagging, wrinkled, dry, problematic skin.
we cannot control ageing but we can all prevent looking fugly.
i have resorted to supplements mostly.
and i give credit to
grapeseed oil extract, dhc nameraka, and everesh white ex.
these are the particular supplements i'm using religiously for the past weeks.
i'll be posting more in-depth review of each product soon...
meanwhile, would you mind sharing what supplements you are using right now?
well i'm glad my research, studies and efforts are clearly very beneficial.. i dont mind growing old mind you... i believe that wisdom comes with age and that's what i wanna be.. a wise woman.. however i wanna keep my beauty too.. and by taking care of myself properly as i age, i can be a beautiful, wise woman.

Php 600 pesos each. the silk pouch retails for 15usd at shop sanrio. the plastic pouch i can't find there anymore.
