On a personal note …
Do you want to know how good Villa del Conte chocolates are? Our Bubu hates chocolate. Every time we offer her anything chocolate she makes a face and says no. But for some reason, she LOVES Villa del Conte chocolates! Whenever she sees me with a Villa del Conte bag or box she begs me to open it and give her some. If uncontrolled/unmonitored she will finish it all in one sitting. Lol!

Dairy Blizzard Pepero Blizzard Ice Cream Cake
More than the regular blizzard in a cup I find that I prefer the Pepero Blizzard Ice Cream Cake more. It is firmer, has more crunch, and has more flavor with every bite! I particularly like how parts of it are, essentially, a deconstructed blizzard. 😀
Dairy Queen’s Pepero Blizzard is available for a limited time only, so head over to Dairy Queen stores now! Follow Dairy Queen Philippines on social media and visit www.dairyqueen.com.ph for more details.

Good skin is something we all dream of and, for most people, seem unable to achieve. Pock marks, wrinkles, discoloration, scars – most have just given up on achieving that youthful skin. This is often caused by a combination of many things: bad eating habits, lack of sleep, and little or no skin regimen. Some say they wash their face everyday, while others say they only get to wash their face when they bathe.
Now, anyone can achieve the skin they desire by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following a good skin regimen with the help of the new Ever Bilena Advance White Purity Cleansers and Toner.
If you’re just starting out with a skin care routine, your first step is the Ever Bilena Advance White Purity Cleanser, which comes in three variants – the Lightening Milk Cleanser, White Radiance Dual Phase Cleanser, and the Acne Solution Dual Phase Cleanser. Each variant addresses different skin care needs.
For those looking for something mild on the skin, the Ever Bilena Advance White Purity Lightening Milk Cleanser works best.
A lightweight cream-based cleanser, it removes impurities on the skin without stripping off moisture. It’s a gentle, non-foamy formula that leaves skin smooth and supple after every wash.
Alternately, for people who want to lighten their skin, the Ever Bilena Advance White Purity White Radiance Dual Phase Cleanser is the solution.
It’s packed with Vitamin B3 that lightens and moisturizes the skin. It can also be used to remove traces of make-up and deep-seated dirt on the face, leaving skin softer and smoother after use.
Lastly, if you are prone to acne, the Ever Bilena Advance Acne Solution Dual Phase Cleanser is the perfect cleanser for you.
It is infused with Salicylic Acid that helps fight acne, and the formula tightens pores to make skin clearer.
After cleaning the face with cleanser, apply the Ever Bilena Advance White Purity Lightening Toner. It is infused with Vitamin B3 to lighten and moisturize the skin, remove impurities and clarify complexion making your skin look young and healthy.
While best paired with the Ever Bilena Advance White Purity Lightening Milk Cleanser, it can be used well with any of the other Ever Bilena Advance cleansers.
Ever Bilena Advance is the premium product line under Ever Bilena Cosmetics Inc that takes your look to a whole new level. It provides a full range of make-up essentials, including eye make-up kits, CC and BB cream, foundation and concealer, cheek and lip tint, lipsticks, eye make-up remover, and paddle brushes.
