Of course, we all know that our face changes as the years go by, but it’s not just what we see in the mirror. Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that less is definitely more when it comes to everyday foundation. I’ve been searching for the best foundation and concealer […]

This month, The FABulous Journey turns six.” Wow…six years, it seems like so much has happened and yet it also feels like yesterday. Where was I in January, 2015? My oldest had left home the preceding August to go to college in the US; leaving me in Manila to mourn […]
