What's Your Plan in 2022?

Can you feel that double digits are lucky numbers? I am looking forward to 2022, especially since it is just a few weeks away.

 

So, do you have plans or goals for the upcoming year? I have! That's why I was very excited about buying planners. 

 

Last year, the usage of planners was wasted because of a pandemic. Yet, everything seems to be getting back to normal nearing the end of 2021.

 

I bought two planners (I might add one for handy purposes) to get me pumped for next year. Let's peruse their pages and see what's in store for us.

 

📒Belle De Jour Classic Planner (699 php) 

First time to have it personalized!

I have been a BDJ user since 2013. For this, I didn't buy one yet, but a good friend of mine shared her prized BDJ Travel planner. 

 

When I saw the 2022 cover of BDJ, I was thrilled. I loved the Bella who represented the Universe, and my intuition told me that perhaps it would attract the goodness of the coming year. 

 

And so, without hesitation, I was one of the first 100 who pre-ordered the BDJ kit using Billease loan. (I posted a blog about it. You can read it here: https://perksbewithyou.blogspot.com/2021/11/billease-my-loan-partner.html )

Here are some of the contents of the BDJ 2022 planner:

~Dream Board

~Key Projects Overview

~Goal Setting

 

If you are planning to buy or have already purchased the BDJ 2022 planner, check out the back page because my name is included as a token of gratitude for being one of the first 100 pre-ordered customers. Sweet! Thank you, BDJ! 

 

Wait... 

There's another one that I want to feature too. Because I didn't plan to have one planner, but two for 2022! 

 

📔365 Days Limelight Planner (299 php) 

A vlogger friend of mine posted about the 365 Days Limelight Planner from the National Bookstore. At that time, I was truly curious, but I already had other planners, so I didn't buy one. 

 

Lo and behold, I really waited for this year's edition and I actually liked the designs! I picked the Earth-style because I haven't had one like this! 

 

Here are some of the contents of the 365 Days Limelight planner:

+Bucketlist

+Highlights

+Birthday Tracker

 

Whether you decide to also have a planner or not, be sure to plan something for the coming year. 

Love these stickers!

Long or short-term goals, it doesn't matter. As long as it makes you look forward to 2022, so be it. 

I cannot wait to use these planners on the first day of the year! 

#PerksNewDiscoveries: Facial Hubs at Pasig City!

2019 was the last time that I had facial service, but it sounded like it was a long time ago.

 

I have a bad case of pimple break out that turns sadly into maskne. It has gotten worse in this half of the year. As much as I wanted to get rid of them by going to a dermatologist, the budget is waving.

 

Luckily, I had a chance to experience not only once, but twice, the free facial services. I was one of the lucky winners of the Skinefique Aesthetics and Wellness' opening giveaway last June. 

Their clinic is located on the 2nd floor of the RNV Building in Rosario. It is in front of the Sorrento Oasis condo. The easiest way to go there is via Grab, but you can also ride a tricycle going back to the main road, then hail a jeepney to Mrt Shaw when going home.

 

I won 1000 php worth of GC for their facial services. Nonetheless, I paid an additional 500 PHP to use their Premium Acne Control, which was not included in the prize. It felt like it was my first time having a facial service because of the pricking of my pimples and getting rid of my blackheads. 

My face was refreshed, relieved, and relaxed at the same time. Yay! They offered to sell me their skincare products, but I refused because I was still hesitant to jump into one.

 

My second facial service happened just last month. I won again, but this time it was from Montinola Aesthetic Center Laser Center's Facebook giveaway. Again, I was not familiar with the area, so I took a Grab from Mrt Shaw and was dropped off at the Tri-Ax Two Center Bldg. in Buting. There is a Yellowcab store in front of them and Max's nearby.

 

I loved the interior of the beauty center. Their staff was very welcoming and friendly. They even gave me a glass of water as soon as I sat down on their lovely sofa. I was surprised to have a free skin consultation with none other than the owner, Dr. Madz Roxas. She asked me what service I wanted to avail of from their beauty services. I was not really into enhancement or changing something about my body, so I took the chance of having a facial service again. 

 

I showed her my main concern, and she was the one who suggested that I have their Detox Acne Facial. After the much-needed facial, I couldn't help but check out their acne products and I bought their Retinoic cream, which was my first encounter with it. It was also recommended by one of their beauty staff. I paid 600 php for it and I am still applying the cream at the moment.

 

Aside from the free facial services, I was truly grateful that my acne concern was finally addressed. There were the usual products that I used that made my face oily and dry. I have combination skin now, which is not actually nice. That's why I would really invest in the proper skincare products to control and hopefully get rid of my maskne.
