I used to think beach getaways come with a hefty price tag – until this trip proved me wrong. Imagine a secluded island with crystal clear water, white fine powdery sand, no hotels so you will go camping under the stars and eat fresh seafood – what would you say if you could get ALL that for only Php3,500? Well, welcome to Calaguas!

in Balesin I cant believe it’s almost March – the cold Berrr months are coming to an end (can you feel it?) so it’s time to embrace the sun! The Island Life On the last day of our Balesin trip, I made sure to slip into something comfy and city-appropriate. Slacks on the beach? Why not!

It was the first ever all-in-one moisturizer in the world. Today, our roster of products has grown more than tenfold. Why? Because people’s needs change.

Even if this trip was last minute, my friend and I immediately researched and made lodging arrangements.
