Tokyo Love Soap Premium Review

Tokyo Love Soap Premium Review

I am married and a father of two. A boy and a girl. I got married 5 years ago with a beautiful girl named Anne. My wife and I are very sporty and adventurous. We love to hike mountains, go to beaches, and play soccer and badminton during our free time. 

Because of our hobbies as a couple, I admit my wife's skin was damaged. She has a lot sunburned areas, bra-line, red pigmentation on her exposed areas and her face is oily at times. 

Last July 2013, I saw my cousin from Japan who lived there for almost 10 years. I can still remember when we were a kid, I'm always teasing her because her skin is so black and she even have a lot of acne scars. But when I saw her I was mesmerized with her beauty. She looks so young in her 32 years. Her skin looks smooth and fresh. I can never imagine that she transformed into this. And I can't even look at her face. She looks so radiant and I can't even see a single acne scar in her face. 

Out of curiosity, I asked her if what is her beauty secrets. Then she answered, "Why do you want to use it? It's a soap from Japan named Tokyo Love Soap Premium."

As soon as I got home, I immediately checked Tokyo Love Soap Premium online, read a lot of positive reviews and some negative. But of course, since the soap was proven to me by my cousin. I urgently ordered 4 boxes for my wife and I received it after 2 days. I gave it to my wife as a gift in our anniversary. 

After a week of using it, I saw a great change in my wife's skin. She looks so smooth and fair. Her face looks brighter, oily- free and her red pigmentation was lessened. I even loves to cuddle her after taking a bath because she smells like a fragrant flower and quite relaxing.

After 2 weeks, I was the happiest husband in the world. I even asked my wife for a date and bought a new dress for her. I can feel her confidence rising. Now she's more beautiful, radiant and her skin looks healthier even in a long distance. 

Thanks to my cousin for sharing this beauty secret to us. So to all my friend and readers. If you want to make yourself and husband happy try this. You can give Tokyo Love Soap Premium a try, just order it from Tokyo Love Soap, and for a big discount by it in bulk. :)

Tommy Hilfiger Men's Brief 

I finally found a perfect brief that my husband is comfortable wearing. I read one reviewer that said they run a little small, my husband is a large, so I ordered a x-large and they are a perfect fit. They are soft, but very strong, quality, material. The legs are cut properly, so, they provide great support. They already have been washed and are still holding their form. They are expensive, but the difference is you are getting 5 in a pack were Kleins, only 3 in a pack, paying the same exact price in apartment stores. Also, he wore Calvin Klein briefs for 17 yrs, but they are no longer made the same, the problem was they cut the leg openings wider, and they no longer provided the support, and the material became thinner and was falling apart after a couple of washings.

So, finally he is happy! They are worth it..... I ordered 3 more packs for Christmas in different colors! ((( Believe me we went through your basics co, Fruit of the Loom, Jockeys, Hanes, they just never fit him right and he was uncomfortable. It' like us girls, looking for the comfortable fitting bra, so I understood his frustration. )))

Update: 1/26/13, He likes them so much, bugging me where I got them from, if this is what keeps the "man" happy, I am ordering 2 more packs.

Update: 3/6/13, They hold up after being washed many times now. Still maintain there shape, no loose threads, and the elastic waist band has not over stretched....... He looks very attractive in them, especially when he wears "red", if you know what I mean...... :)

Old Spice Fresh Collection Invisible Solid Fiji Scent Men's Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant

Really???? Since when do they make these products this good!! The smell is unbelievable!!!
I smelled it at a store and I was "ok, seems good" but I do not know how it happens that after an hour or so I start smelling awesome every time I rise my arms!! And it last like 2 days!!! Really I shower at 10am one day and on the next I was busy all day and when I took out my shirt the following day at 5pm (that's 1.5days) I smelled like on the first hour!!

The men in the family wear the various scents of Old Spice deo/antiper. and decided to give Fiji a try. While none of us think it smells of palm trees and sunshine as advertised, (ok, we've never smelled a palm tree), we can vouch for a very nice, subtle scent that is rather pleasing. I think it smells more like a fabulous fruit salad on a hot summer day filled with chilled, refreshing melons and sweet berries. The men in the family swear it smells more like a combination of watermelon and kiwi, but still not overpowering or too feminine. 

I am happy to say that I sniffed this out for my husband and we both agree it's our new favorite smell. It doesn't hide the fact that it is for a man and is so incredibly sexy. We prefer this scent over Fiji, Matterhorn or any of the other new ones which to us are weird, too tropical or too feminine. He loves the anti-perspirant. Other brands break him out, but this one doesn't. This one keeps him nice and dry and smelling oh so good. He likes it so much he bought the four pack, the 3 pack body wash in Denali and is now stocked up for a long time. We hope Old Spice never discontinues or changes Denali.

Dove Men + Care Body and Face Bar

I've used a bunch of soaps over the years as brands have created and dropped soaps (no pun intended) and I've been using this one for about a year now hoping the don't drop this soap as I like it so much. Has a good scent and I like the beads that do a decent job at exfoliating. 


Dove Men + Care Body and Face Bar in Deep clean has a very neutral odor best described as simply soapy with no noticeable perfume except for maybe the slightest hint of sandalwood so it is not so much masculine as definitely not feminine. It cleans quite well but has moisturizers so it doesn't leave the face feeling dry but rather soft and smooth. There are some visible small black "purifying grains" in the ivory-colored bar but perhaps also something else that provides a very gentle exfoliation. This bar is ideal for both men and for women who don't like strongly-perfumed soaps.


  I suspect that's from the exfoliating granules in this bar, something that is usually found in women's soaps. In fact, he really is enjoying Dove products from the body washes, to the shampoos, and now the bar soap. I'm actually a bit surprised because he can be somewhat "brand loyal," but everyone likes what they like. He is also using lotions so it's hard to say weather or not this soap is acting as a moisturizer. He definitely is giving the Dove Men + Care Body and Face Bar, Deep Clean a thumbs up.


From my dad,
"In the shower, or at the bathroom sink, in a soap dish, Guys should have their very own body/face bar!
Dove Men + Care Body and Face Bar, Deep Clean has a very strong, masculine, scent -- it's not flowery! Lathers up quickly and rinses well in the shower. Skin feels clean and moisturized."



      

L’OREAL MEN EXPERT PURE AND MATTE ANTI-MARK MOISTURIZING GEL CREAM

PRODUCT REVIEW: L’OREAL MEN EXPERT PURE AND MATTE ANTI-MARK MOISTURIZING GEL CREAM

Again, it’s a product with a lot of description. It is Pure, Matte, Anti-Mark, Moisturing Gel Cream with “Melanin-Vanish”, Salicylic Acid and ADS or Active Defense System.

“Melanin Vanish” is said to be a powerful ingredient which helps brighten dark marks and homogenize skin tone, for a more mattified finish.

It also has Salicylic Acid which helps to clear and prevent pimples and skin blemishes for those who have acne.

And finally the ADS, which helps to reinforce the skin’s natural resistance against daily aggressions.

L’Oreal Paris Men Expert Pure & Matte Anti Mark Moisturizing Gel Cream helps by doing two things:

1. Brighten the marks and even out skin tone.

2. Provide relief by reducing the appearance of acne marks.

And off to the review! Just to let you know, I used this product for a month and a half.

Pros:

1. Matte? Yes it is! It’s actually jelly (gelly seems inappropriate but you get the point!) at first while you’re on the process of applying in your face but after a minute or half, it dries to a matte-finish. This is a great plus for me since I don’t want a sticky-feeling or glossy moisturizer residue on my face specially with a hot-and-humid-climate country.

2. Brighten some of my old pimple marks. I have these marks so long long ago and after using this product they began to fade (or brighten). It also evened my skin tone a bit.

3. Definitely easy to bring.

Cons:

1. It has this strong manly smell while you are applying it. It makes you think that the moisturizer is too strong. I usually don’t like this kind of smell and I always smell this on moisturizers designed for men. -.-

2. No brightening effects to just-healed-acne. Yes, I said before that it brightened my old pimple and acne marks but not the new ones. Maybe it needed more time. Nevertheless, I was disappointed.

3. Moisturizer cap (the transparent one) is prone to being marked by the moisturizer. Take extra care when you are putting the cap on, you don’t want the moisturizer to touch it or else it would get clouded with moisturizer gel.

4. Not recommended for those who have very dry skin.

5. Doesn’t really helped my acne-prone skin.

Will I buy this product again? Possibly! But I need something more to help my acne. If I am not acne-prone, this would be my choice. 

10 THINGS TO VISIT AND DO IN DAVAO CITY

10 THINGS TO VISIT AND DO IN DAVAO CITY

#1. Jack’s Ridge – the best time to come here is during the night where you can see the view of Davao while having a sumptuous dinner. It is also a great place to take pictures because of the nice landscape. The city lights, food, singing group that will serenade you while eating, perfect for a great dinner.




#2. Pearl Farm Beach Resort - We so love this place that we recommend it to everyone who goes to Davao. The place is so beautiful, the service is so nice, and the food is really really great. What would you ask for? A day tour is already okay as staying overnight is quite expensive... but if you have the money, why not?! It will also be nice if you can book your trip to Pearl Farm on a weekday from Monday to Thursday as it is a little cheaper compared to Friday, Saturday and Sundays. You might be interested to read our post and see pictures of the place here.

#3. Whitewater Rafting - Rafting is very close to our hearts that we can’t afford to ignore it when we go to a new place. This activity is a must try especially for those who love adventure. So, go forward... backward... and shout High Five!!!




=#4. People’s Park – We suggest you go here on your first day. The park is just around the corner and you can ride a jeepney or taxi to go there. There are lots of more than life size statues, nice landscapes, and big Philippine eagle. And what’s great with this is it’s free, you don’t need to pay any entrance fee!





#5. Crocodile Park – When we went here, “Pangil”, is still the second largest crocodile in captivity. But since “Lolo” was found in Agusan del Norte, I think “Pangil” is only the 3rd now. This is also the first time I found a lot of crocodiles, as in a lot of them. You can also find other animals and birds like in a zoo. 





When you go to crocodile park, you’ll pass by the Butterfly Park so make sure you also go inside it especially if you love flowers and butterflies. I don’t think I need to tell you what you’ll see here as it is so obvious, isn’t it?

Also beside the Crocodile park is a park where you’ll see the indigenous tribes and culture of our ancestors. It is a nice tour to bring you back to our past and learn our history.





#6. Food trip – Of course, when you go to a new place, you want to experience everything that is unique to them. And when you hear about Davao, what comes to your mind? You’re right! Durian! A fruit that does not smell good but tastes great! So why not try it where it is coming from! It is also suggested to visit the Durian Candy Factory to buy some pasalubong to your loved ones and taste their durian ice cream! Mangosteen products are also everywhere. You’ll not only satisfy your taste buds but will also give your body a healthy snack and dessert.

We’ve also tried their deep-fried hito. It’s a must try for any visitors. There are also lots of restaurants in the city where you can try Davao’s food and satisfy your cravings.

#7. Eden Nature Park – For those who love trekking, this is the place for you. But if you don’t have the luxury of time and want to just have a quick view of the whole place, they have a short trip to tour you around. The tour also includes a free lunch.






#8. Philippine Eagle Center – This is also a big sanctuary of birds especially our dearest Philippine Eagle. You’ll be amazed by how big their cages are. It would be a lot nicer if they can freely fly outside open in the air but since they are already near to be extinct, taking care of them and making ways to increase their population is also a good way to prevent them from extinction.






#9. Malagos Garden Resort and Orchid Farms – We were not able to visit this place because we came at 5:30pm and they are already closed. They say Lechon tastes good here and the place is really beautiful. So, we’ve put this in our list to visit next time.






#10. Mt. Apo – being the highest mountain in the Philippines, every mountaineer dreamt of climbing it. It is also in our bucket list. In time, with enough preparation and proper training, we will be able to climb it. For now, we’ll just have to view it from the beautiful Pearl Farm Beach Resort.



Have I mentioned that Davao is a smoke-free city? Yes it is. And from our experience, I can say that the people here are disciplined and friendly. Also, like in Baguio, the taxi drivers charge passengers just the exact amount and will give you your change no matter what.

So, book your trip now and enjoy Davao, the largest and beautiful city in the Philippines!
