Beauty Treatments have been on the rise because more and more people (including men) have been consciously making an effort to be aesthetically pleasing to one's eye. Gone are the days that you have to go under the knife just to get the instant results you want. With the advancement of technology, the rise of Radio Frequency and Laser treatments are one of the known treatments to address pressing beauty concerns with less downtime, non-evasive and instant results.


Clarence Dermatology Center is one of the beauty clinics that specializes in anti-aging, slimming, and other dermatological issues. They've been up and running since 2009, personally managed by dermatologist Dra. Joan Clarence Morallo.

I remember 3 years ago, I went to their clinic to try their Lipo-Cavitation treatment for me to achieve that bikini-ready body. They started by offering basic facials, diamond peels, RF and Lipo-Cavitation. Now, Clarence have moved to a bigger location offering a wide range of treatments to cater different beauty concerns utilizing the most advance technology.


Recently, they invited me as they launch of 2 of their newest machines, the Cynosure Palomar Icon and the Alma Beauty Reform Machine. These two machines have the most advanced laser technology that delivers instant results with almost no downtime.

Aside from the ever-known Mercato group, one of the dominating hawker-inspired bazaar is from BAGA Manila (BBQ and Grillers Association). I've been aquainted with BAGA Manila two years ago in Makati Ave. Every weekend, the parking lot near A.Venue Mall transforms into a hawker market filled with assortment of things and a lot of smoked and grilled dishes.

BAGA Manila conquers the northern side of the Metro,thus the birth of BAGA Libis. Imagine my excitement when a hawker market opened just a few blocks from home. It's like every foodie's dream! What caught my attention one night when we visited BAGA Libis was this particular stall, Carnival Delights. Take a peek into what we enjoyed munching on that night:

Agape is a Greek word which means selfless and unconditional love. It is considered the highest form of love and it is the kind of love we receive from God. It was inspiring to know that there are restaurants built on the concept of Agape or selfless love.


When I met the owner of Agape Pastries and Tartines, she enthusiastically retold the story behind e . It was a story that's worth an MMK episode. I won't go into full details, but instead, I'll indulge you with the details of the dishes we tried that night.

After our pampering sesh at the newly opened KitcheNails Trinoma, Team Aldous headed to Congressional to have a late dinner at Agape Pastries and Tartines. Agape is considered a refuge for people looking for some spark and inspiration to go through life.

Agape specializes in French fusion cuisine. They make use of organic ingredients to ensure the quality of the flavors are top notch. Here are some of the dishes we were able to try that night:

Yoga is an traditional form of exercise that originated in India. Yoga aims to bring harmony in your life by putting your whole body in sync, mind, body and soul. There are a lot of types of yoga that you can try. The first time I wet to a yoga class, I was confused after. I didn't know if I'm doing any of the poses right. It didn't felt anything. My mind, body and soul was so out of sync.
But after a few classes, I was able to sync my body through breathing exercises. Once I found my rythm, every yoga class was as effective as a 1 hr Zumba class. I was perspiring like crazy despite the limited flow of movements.

I was not the only one who fell in love with yoga that time. Almost immediately, a lot of yoga studio opened and Yoga was on the rise. Most women, like me loved yoga to every bits.
