Requirements to Travel Abroad for Philippines’ Government Employees

When I travel abroad, one of the things I have to do is to apply for a Travel Permit or an Authority to Travel Abroad or also know as Travel Order. For government employees like me, I need to have it for the immigration officer to let me go outside of the country.

I have applied thrice for a permit to travel. It’s easy and I apply 2 to 3 months before my departure date to make sure I’ll have the documents on-hand to show to the immigration officer.

You may read the Department of Education ORDER here.

A disclaimer: I work as non-teaching personnel at one of the public schools here in Pasay City. The following requirements I’ll list are the ones that we are required to submit, it may be different from other government agencies.

6 Tips To Stay Healthy Inside and Out

I love skin care and I have a lot of skincare products at home. When I’m not too tired from work, I do my best to do as much as possible the 10-step Korean skincare I read online. Hoping I’ll have clearer skin.

But then, one should also take care of the inside and it will radiate to the outside skin. Even though I do my night routine religiously, I still get a pimple here and there. I still look dull sometimes.

It’s Time to Cut These Unsolicited Comments About Makeup

For most women, glamming up is second nature. It looks good, feels good, and can even bring a good bit of fun.

However, there are still people who feel like they need to throw shade at a woman for something as routine as putting on makeup.

Giving backhanded compliments is one thing, but being rude and snarky is another. And among all the unsolicited words makeup-wearing women get, these are just some that should be retired immediately:

A Bonné, for a smooth and radiant skin

A Bonne is a spa milk salt brand that was created in Thailand. They use natural local ingredients that made them popular among women for fairer, whiter and more radiant skin.

One of my sisters is a fan of their shower salt and she’s been using it for years. I even remember how their previous packaging looks like, with a cute cow. Now, she has smooth and radiant skin but still continues to use it. I’m glad I had the chance to use them as well and I’ll share with you my thoughts about them here.

A Bonne has various kinds of products; lotions, soaps, bath salts, spa yogurt salts and hair spa milk to name a few. But today, I’ll be reviewing their lotion, bar soap and shower salt.

Powerful and Inspirational Quotes from Becoming by Michelle Obama

I only know Michelle Obama through what I see on TV and read on the internet. Only after reading her memoir that I learned more things about her.

After reading Becoming, I’m fully convinced that she really is an inspiring and powerful woman and as a mother. I loved the book. It gave me so many emotions; sometimes I’d catch myself swoon over their love story, cry as she recalls the school shootings, or laugh with some silly things they did. I was deeply moved by her. I love how she promotes hope and inspires so many people. She used her influence in so many positive ways. I admire and respect her a lot.

This is one of the books, I think, everyone should make time to read. I’ve been meaning to read it last year, but never had the chance.

Beauty Trends, affordable and effective skincare that won’t break the bank

Yesterday, I saw a poll on Facebook that said, “You can only have one, which would you choose: clear skin, all the makeup products on your wishlist or a good hair day, every day.” As someone who is always getting a pimple here and there, and living in the city where pollution triggers my sensitive skin, I chose clear skin.

To help me achieve having clear skin, I’ve been using Beauty Trends products. They have moisturizer, nose pack, peel-off mask, hydrating facial mask, toner and more.
