🌼Review:
I give in to try this product a month ago because of its hype. First, Im fascinated with a packaging like this thats made of glass dropper bottle,Super chic! I can dispensed and control a small amount of product by using the dropper. A little goes a long way because of it has a watery consistency,no tacky feeling and easily gets dry. It has powdery scent which I also like. I even stashed it inside the fridge for cooling effect during application. With almost a month of using it I can say that it somehow lightens my pimple marks and even calm my breakouts. This is good for starters in serums, it so cheap.What I just dont like is it contains denatured alcohol which is a no-no for our skin. Anyway a nice experience with this product but with a lots of serum√ products out there,I want to explore more and try other brands next time without worrying the harm of alcohol.

First date with tom n toms and it didn’t turn me off. Toms n toms is first korean franchise cafe in Philippines and they are expanding across provinces and around metro. First, I love its industrial concept interiors, its simply cosy vibe. This place is perfectly suited to hang out with family and friends, or just a busy employee who wants to chill out after monkey desk job, or maybe students who’s reviewing for exams or working to their deadlines.
These are their food display model. We really thought, that was real food which is same with other cafes that will just be served right away but sorry were fooled. The Barista told us that we will still wait in minutes particularly with savory pretzels cause their will still make it.
Menu:
Â
My personal favorite and for me the star and possibly the best seller is their Honey Butter Bread. Its like their french toast version but in a more level up way. Looks like something replace now and exceeds my love for SB french toast. It’s a hot bread toast match with cold milky whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, drizzled with caramel sauce. Its a winner. Bitesize goodness that is cut into 9 cubes, really good for sharing.You cant simply resist the experience. We even finished the whole thing under a minute.I really need to come back and try their other variants of this.
Italiano Pepperoni Pretzel
Special Cream Cheese Pretzel
What unique from them is they will make their pastries (pretzels,pizza etc) from scratch in front of you. Not good though if your in a rush. They will still manually mash the dough and baked it, so its guaranteed served fresh. Not unlike with breads in other coffee shops that they will heaten up their food items by a microwave before it serve to you.
Sweet Pretzels is good but for me still nothing beats Auntie Annes, however with savory pretzels is your best bet cause its like a bite size pizza that is overloaded with CHEESEEEEe…….
Caramel Tomccino, Green Latte, All Natural Strawberry Smoothie
You wouldn’t wanna miss also to try their beverages ( frappes, lattes, smoothies) to match their meals for a satisfying treat.
They also sell unique finds like this Pink-canned Pringles.Of Course,I didn’t let go of it to try.
Truly Korean Culture invade us, not just into koreanovelas, kpopgroups music, kbeauty skin care, samgyeopsal, but also up to its cafes, I became a fan.

North Park Next Door Noodle House is one of our favorite place to munch down.Ambiance is good with cool modern oriental Interior.It is a great place that can accommodate from large families for their simple party celebrations to even single dine of young urban professionals for Lunch or Dinners. They have wide tables and seats that so comfy, that is perfect to sit back after a satisfying meal. They serve chinese cuisines with lots of choices to choose from.
Btw I love to take a photos of Menu’s whenever I visited any restaurant I don’t know why but I’m getting pleasure on that activity. Here’s their Menu lots of choices from ordinary to uncommon dishes.
Their slogan:”Chinoy comfort food that generations have come to know and love”.
Definitely this is our comfort Food that we came to know and love that will always come back for.
            
These are the dishes that we commonly pick to dig in.
 Monk’s Chopsuey in a Pot P228- very tasty mixed of sauteed veggies but different from ordinary Chopsuey because of its smothered delectable dark sauce.
 Next Door Boneless Fried Chicken Chops P218-delight your palate with this crispy chicken chops.
 Yang Chow Fried Rice P198-you can eat this flavor rice alone even without a dish.
 Lechon Macau P258-can never go wrong with this crispy mouthwatering choice.
I’ll also recommend their noodles,I don’t have a photo but I’ve tried it before and it was super delicious.Noodles are their first offering when they were just starting years ago. Our favorite branch is at Ortigas 23 Ortigas Home Depot Dona Julia Vargas Ave., corner Meralco Avenue, Brgy. Ugong, Pasig City. You should try and check them out! .

**Saccharomyces Ferment-This ingredient is a water-like substance made from fermenting and filtering yeast. It is naturally high in minerals, amino acids, beta glucan, and vitamins. The fermentation process breaks down molecules, that can easily penetrate the dermis to soothe, hydrate, brighten, and repair.

It rebuilds the epidermis and restores efficient skin barrier function. Thus, the smooth, soft texture of young and fresh skin is restored.

💠Experienced
This is my first time to use a Low Ph Cleanser. It surprisingly leaves my skin clean, removes oil and dirt and maintains my normal skin ph without making it dry,irritated,or having a tightness feeling.This product is also impressively loaded with botanical ingredients that gives a lot of benefits to my skin. I am using a dime size clear gel and it lathers easily. It’s good that it has a tea tree smell because I love anything herbalIy scent.It feels minty on my skin that gives my skin a refreshed feeling and brightening effect after wash. So overall, It’s not bad choosing a gentle cleanser that closer to your skins ph that will also do the work of the alkaline cleansers. My skin would really thank me for this big switch.If you want also to have a big switch and ditch out your harsh cleansers.You can purchased this CosRX Low PH Cleanser on the link below.
