ILOG MARIA

What can i say? I fell in love with this soap! (even ignoring my kojic soaps for this one!) You will worship this soap from the very moment you step inside your bathroom because it overpowers any unpleasant smell and the oh-so! heavenly scent lasts long! More like of a bathroom air freshener and soap in one! Even besting that experience when you pass by a lush store! (that is an opinion of course!) The scent is like mixed fresh mints, sweet milk and…. colgate! hahaha I know, it doesn’t smell like some perfumes and tooty fruity colognes. But this is a real olfactory treat guys! Imagine, every bath is a step closer to nature! That’s it!! This soap smells and feels like nature! I am no good in advertising.. neither in choosing words that can persuade anyone .. (not that i lack communication skills) but man… you gotta try them.

The honey and milk combo is just right… you’ll get squeeky, clean, smooth, moisturized and happy skin after you take a bath! I think the propolis gives this soap the minty smell. Unlike conventional soaps, this one doesn’t form bubbles that much..It does, very minimal, but when you let it stay on your skin for a while, the bubbles just dissolve into a thin, creamy liquid.. resembling that of milk when you generously rub it on your skin! And it rinses very easily too!! Also you won’t get any sticky, heavy feeling (like when you just washed with a moisturizing body wash) after rinsing this off! Instead it leaves your skin ultra clean and bare but moisturized! This is has a low pH thus it’s doesn’t alter the normal skin acid level unlike some soaps out there which is alkalinic. If you have sensitive skin, this one’s for you!!!

I am so crazy about this soap that i bought 6 of them now! I am planning to build my own stash so that I’ll have enough supply for 1 year and then i can bring them to Norway with me! hahaha The plan is to buy 12 bars but i think before i leave the country, I’ d be having more than what i actually need!

So go and join me in my indulgence!

Before I start, it would be proper introducing myself to the community first. So here it goes…

Hi. I am Rosanne, but my close friends call me Osang. I just turned 25 last february 21 and I’m from the country with many beautiful, breath-taking beaches, Philippines!

I have so many interests because I keep an open door for new things to try on. No, I am not fickle- minded for your information but i certainly have this insatiable hunger for adventure. Getting out of your comfort zone sometimes is not bad, but I guess it’s normal to experience a little anxiety for stepping beyond one’s routine. However, that’s when you really start living.. for me. Boredom is fatal. Monotony kills.

Here’s a list on the things that I love as of february 28, 2008:

- i love to eat good food! - Italian, American, Asian dishes! but i wanna try more European and Latin.

- i love dogs! - I have a pet named Diana. She is a 3 1/2 year-old mini pinscher. She was given to me by mom. hahahaha Here’s her pic:

According to my analysis, she gave Diana as diversion so that I won’t get depressed whenever I remember that something is missing in my life during that time. hahahaha I love my mom for that! My Diana already gave birth 2 times. Her children are Mocha, Choco and William. They look and move/behave like her- energetic, sweet, loyal and annoying! hahaha

- I love shopping!! It’s one activity that I will never get tired doing many times 24/7! So my latest addiction is online shopping … Eating up almost the entire duration when I’m surfing the net. My most fave is Ebay. It’s the greatest online thrift shop of all time!

- I love going to different places! Of course, if I have enough money, I’d really do a lot of traveling. Like what I say to my BF, the more distant, the better!

- Since the influence of Global warming and Pollution has gotten so much of my attention, I am going organic! Recently, I have purchases of organic soaps, shampoos, facial creams, conditioners, toners, etc. to show my support for the cause of saving mother earth. They have Biodegradable by-products and will not add up to the water pollution. Another thing to be proud of is I started staying away from Red meat. It’s not easy, but I am slowly cutting of my consumption of any animal flesh. After conquering the red meat department, my next step is the poultry department! Let’s see if I’m up to that! hahahahaha

- I love the beach but I don’t know how to swim! My activities there includes rubbing my feet on the sand, watching the waves and the sunset, feeling the ocean breeze/wind against my face, sitting on the shore and attempting to build sand castles but ends up looking like a caveman’s mud house.. hahahahaha. Here’s a shot taken in Ilocos with my friends!

Also, I collect sands and shells from all the beaches I’ve visited. Nothing beats the sense of tranquility and calm whenever I’m there.

– There are lots of things that i love but these are some of my mainstay fave things. You’ll get to know more them as i progress with this blog. Better keep you hanging! hahahaa
