Joyce's Bella Experience

Why I took Digital Marketing Nano Degree Program under Udacity?

I am a typical office worker in the finance industry doing accounting tasks. It might sound boring until my work three years ago. I was in this company with a competitive environment: all results, and naturally, more overtime. I started work at 9am and, depending on the deadline, go home at 12 midnight at the latest. Added to that is the travel time that took four hours of my time each day and…

Review: SeeSea Dead Sea Minerals

Did you know that Israel’s Dead Sea is known as one of the healthiest travel destinations in the world? It is visited not only because it is where the Dead Sea scrolls were retrieved but also because of the beauty and health benefits of the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea is a salt lake. Because it is hyper-saline, one could easily float in there. Researchers say that it contains 21 more minerals than any…

How to Use Bioré Cleansing Oil

I have always known Bioré through their sunscreen collection. I love their mattifying line (the blue and white ones) and have used them ever since. Now, it is very fortunate that Bioré has come up with cleansers and cleansing oil to add to their product list. I have tried their micellar water and cleansing oil and they are just what I need. Thing is, what they have in the drug stores are in just…

Make Me Canmake Favorites

Last 19th of May 2018, I attended a Canmake event showcasing their make up line. Bloggers and make up artists share their secrets on how to use Canmake for different days: be it every day or on special occasions.

As a first-time user of Canmake, I surely love how it is cutely packaged. But looks are not what Canmake is all about. They have a formulation that is good for the skin, plus most of…

Dubai’s famous landmark is the Burj Khalifa located in downtown Dubai. Beside it is also the largest mall in the world – Dubai Mall. See my own video of Dubai Mall’s famous night time attraction: the Dancing Fountain.    

I Am Positively Better with Jeunesse

Us girls know what monthly period entails – the dreaded dysmenorrhea. And if you are only feeling a slight discomfort, count yourself as one of the lucky few. I have been feeling this tremendous amount of pain since the beginning. This, alongside with nausea and on some tough times, vomiting what little I ate, has got me so physically and emotionally drained. This has troubled me always in the…

Moisturize Face and Skin On-The-Go

Traveling is an experience. It is an exhilarating and liberating journey that has a lot of little things that we could learn from. One of the things I discovered is the value of travel skin care. Our skin is exposed to different climates by just jumping on and off our chosen mode of transport. From the various temperatures, wind on our faces and sun exposure, not to mention some restrictions on…

It’s been a while guys. ‘Tis the busy season at work so I really can’t find time to post, but just so you know, I am still trying out stuff for something to write. So here it is, my make up haul at Estee Lauder. I bought these goods January 2017 so I got a lot of time to test the products before writing my review. I was looking for a foundation during that time that does not run and does not look…

Frequent OTs in the office gives me little time for shopping that’s why shopping online is a joy.

Plus, there are also discounts and deals online. The Jergens coupon gives you 10% discount on all products (even non-Jergens…

Corregidor Island Day Tour – Dec. 28, 2016

One of the many places to visit in the Philippines is the island of Corregidor. It is a place rich in history from the Spanish occupation to American colonisation up to World War II. This island played a huge role for Philippine independence specifically during the second World War as one of the last military bastions in the country. PS: I do not want to go into historical detail because you can…

Finding the Right Planner at the BDJ Fair 2016

The Art of Now

I attended another BDJ Rendezvous held last August 6, 2016 at SM Megamall Atrium. It is a series of talks and games empowering women to channel their creativity, passion and individuality to create a person they want to be in the future.The question, “What would you do today that your future self would thank you for?” is the looming question in the whole event. It is a very introspective question…

Replenishing my The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Tint

Last year on August 2015, a lip and cheek tint was included in the Bioderma BDJ Box. It was the first time that I used it even though I have always heard girls rave about it. I somehow don’t know how to use it at first. I thought it is kind of fading and have to swatch a good amount of it on my cheeks to take effect. It could be tricky at first because it could lead to unbalanced color. It could…
