10) Rediscover Manila on an ATV, electronic scooter, or join a walking tour!

Last Saturday, I was able to go back to Intramuros and join a walking tour with Biore Philippines.

Although I've been to Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, and other corners of old Manila (studied in UST, so I was near these places then!)... It's nice to go back with different people and a different tour guide. I actually still learned lots of new things from that day!

Aside from rediscovering my roots and finding deep interest in our history, I also learned more about a brand that I've been using for OVER A YEAR already! I first learned about Biore (Byo-re) from a blog friend, Ashley, we lived in Japan for several years. Last July, I bought my first bottle of UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence, and use it EVERY SINGLE TIME I go out of the house!

🌻🌻 What I love about Biore 🌻🌻

1) Lightweight and unscented, I can use it everyday!
2) Doesn't feel sticky even after sweating from all my commutes
3) It makes makeup application easier with its matte finish
4) SPF 50+ and PA++++, very good skin protection
5) Gentle on my sensitive skin, no negative reactions, no breakouts!
6) Japanese brand = Guaranteed superb quality
7) Very affordable! When I checked BeautyMNL.com, they have nothing above Php 500!


Aside from the Watery Essence, here are the other Biore UV line I discovered on that day: Biore UV Perfect Spray (which you can use on your face, body, and even on your hair and scalp!), and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel (for face and body).

We took lots of outdoor OOTDs here and there, and not afraid of the sun! There's just so much photogenic spots, so thank you Ava for being my instant photographer! Hehe! 😬
