Being a soon-to-be bride, I was extra cautious now about how I looked. I took extra care of my skin and revamped my skincare to achieve that bridal glow. I know that moisturizers and a skincare regime are part of the prevention process, but we cannot deny that the effects of the harsh environment and stress already have taken their toll on our skin.

Gone are the days when I was too afraid to go to beauty salons for fear of ruining my genetically blessed clear skin (thank you Mom for your nice genes). I am now more open to trying beauty treatments to further enhance my complexion and eliminate the harsh effects of the environment on my skin.


Revlite is a non-ablative laser that uses PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP) energy for quick full-face treatment options with no downtime and minimal discomfort. Revlite is extremely safe. It penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen and diminish wrinkles and acne scars.

Skin Pro Alabang is one of the beauty salons that offer Revlite treatments. I was invited to try their Revlite treatment for the face and I was happy to oblige.

It's really weird but Mati's Meat and Bread's facebook page have been popping from my Facebook mobile feed for quite some time and upon reading some reviews from fellow bloggers, the desire to try their dishes (specially their steak) deepens. It took a while because the thing that's keeping me to rush over and try them, is their distance. Mati's Meat and Bread is located in Filinvest Alabang, which is quite far from me. Luckily, I was invited to a food tasting on my rest day. Yay!



Mati's Meat and Bread is located at River Park Alabang, at the back of Festival Mall. Mati's is also under Melo's Steak group. We were able to talk to one of the owners, Mr. Paul Macasaet. Of course, we had to ask the origin of the rstaurant's name. It seemed that Mati is his son who's also present that afternoon. Talk about a lucky kid!

I was really excited to try their mouthwatering dishes. If you stack their page, you'll see those fod porn shots that will definitely tickle your tummy. Here are some (maybe a lot) of the dishes we tried that afternoon:
