Avocado and Tuna Wrap

Since avocado is in season, I tried mixing it in my usual breakfast wrap.


Delivery from SaladBox and SampleRoom!

Yay Saladbox for giving away samples! I chose Sakura Hand and Nail Cream and Sakura Foot and Heel Lotion


Hi XEND, now I know yer packaging is eco-friendly and biodegradable. And yer advertisement thru packaging is just so clever!

And the packaging contains... C-Lium Fibre (Capsule), free Celeteque Make-Up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes, and Céleteque Sun Care Skin-Relief After-Sun Gel. I've tried C-Lium Husk before, and I can't drink my juice! Let's see if I can deal with these capsules. I'm getting ready for beach! Yay~! I want to try After-Sun Gel already!  SampleRoom.

Ready to bake... no-bake!

L-R, Top to bottom: Europro Springform Pan (Php 299.75), Europro 2pc. Silicone Spatula (Php 179.75), Europro 5C Measuring Cup (Php 89.75), ILoveHome AEHM-6123 Pink 7Speed Handmixer (Php 499.75). All from SM Department Store. 


Comments:
1. All from Europro except the mixer. Di ko alam yan, am choosing based on the price and my instincts. 

2. There are two shapes of springform pan available during that time, circle and square. The square is soooo expensive (because of the brand). I saw the 200php pan but the salesperson said the cons of buying that    it's thinner compared to what I bought; through time it'll become oblong; and it has no coating unlike Europro's kaya kapag tumagal, kakailanganin nang maglagay ng parchment paper para hindi mag-stick yung cake.
3. I thought I bought American Heritage's handmixer, but   akala ko lang. This is the cheapest among the choices and the salesperson said that this is comparable to Hanabishi's. According to him, Hanabishi is a trusted  brand that's why most people opt to buy their products. I chose pink, like . . . hot pink,  para kikay

3rd Batch from Sample Room!


Here's my third order: Moringa-O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion (lower left), and Pevonia Botanica Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser (upper right). Along with the cleanser is the make-up remover from Celeteque (lower right). I ordered these because I'm out of lotion and cleanser. Might as well try another brand,
