Last Saturday night, I had the pleasure of samplin Last Saturday night, I had the pleasure of sampling the new menu at Maya Mexican Restaurant, Cebu’s go-to spot for traditional SoCal-style Mexican cuisine and tequila delights. 🌮 The revamped menu, which was launched to celebrate their 15th anniversary, now features smaller plates, perfect for sharing with friends. Some standouts were the Chorizo & Potato Empanada, the crispy Taquitos, and my absolute favorite—the Seafood Ceviche, packed with scallops and shrimp marinated in citrus and chili. 🍤 Then came the tender Costillas, juicy Maya Hot Wings, and sizzling Fajitas with all the fixings. We also enjoyed Vientre de Puerco (roasted crispy pork belly) fajitas, tacos, and loaded nachos. ⁣ ⁣ But the night didn’t stop there. We also experienced a bar takeover by Bar by East, a renowned cocktail bar from Marikina City. Their head bartender Wendell Almenario and co-founder Rian Asiddao wowed us with sensational cocktails, each showcasing unique elements inspired by Marikina. My top pick? The Wintermelon Highball—it’s like enjoying milk tea with a spirited twist! 🍹⁣ ⁣ For an unforgettable dining experience in Cebu, try out Maya’s new menu! ⁣ ⁣ 📍 Maya Mexican Restaurant⁣ Crossroads, Banilad, Cebu City

As someone who spends a lot of time in public, tra As someone who spends a lot of time in public, traveling or attending events, I often forget to take care of myself in the process. I decided it was time for a little self-care.⁣ ⁣ I finally found the time to step into Bodyworx Medical Group almost a year since my last visit in September 2023. Welcomed by their longtime receptionist Rhea, I immediately felt a sense of calm. ⁣ ⁣ I tried their new clarifying seaweed facial and it was no ordinary treatment. Spanning a luxurious two hours, it felt more like a mini-vacation for my skin. Doc Sugar, who was so hands-on, explained that the facial was designed to detoxify, hydrate, and clarify the skin using a combination of marine extracts, vitamins, and antioxidants. ⁣ ⁣ The treatment began with a gentle cleansing, with a relaxing and much-needed shoulder and neck massage, followed by an exfoliation process that was surprisingly soothing. Bodyworx used a blend of seaweed and other natural exfoliants to remove dead skin cells, leaving my skin feeling fresh and renewed. ⁣ ⁣ Next came the arbutin mask, which was cool and refreshing.⁣ ⁣ After the mask was removed, my skin was treated to a series of serums and moisturizers, each tailored to address my specific skin concerns. The session concluded with phototherapy to reduce inflammation and kill/prevent bacteria.⁣ ⁣ By the end of the two hours, my skin felt incredibly smooth, hydrated, and visibly clearer. I walked out of Bodyworx Medical Group feeling like a new person, with renewed confidence, my skin glowing and refreshed.⁣ ⁣ If you’re looking for a way to pamper yourself and give your skin the care it deserves, I highly recommend a visit to Bodyworx Medical Group. It’s a perfect blend of relaxation and effective skincare, making it well worth the time and investment. ⁣ ⁣ ☎️ To book an appointment, call or text +639176311415 / 032 4070274⁣ ⁣ 📍 Visit them at G/F Retail Unit 1, Solinea Tower 1, Cardinal Rosales Avenue, Cebu Business Park.⁣ ⁣ #BodyworxMedicalGroup

Take me back to UNWND Camiguin where I immersed in Take me back to UNWND Camiguin where I immersed into the art of being chill. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The hotel is a welcome addition to the island’s hospitality industry, with its unique concept. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The well-appointed rooms provide maximum comfort after an activity-filled day. The beds, immaculate! There are more than enough power outlets in strategic locations.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The food at their in-house restaurant, “Mamser!” is excellent. Proof of that is the number of guests who visit just to dine, at any given time. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The vibe at the property is very youthful with its sundeck, pool, jacuzzi. What I love about UNWND is how it involves the local community. On weekends, they hold events such as Sundown Sessions, and Open Mic Nights, featuring local talent. This weekend, they will have their first-ever Pride Night.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But one of the highlights of our stay at UNWND is their service. Their crew is very cheerful and polite. I felt their sincerity.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This post is already too long but I will elaborate more about our two-night stay on a blog post soon. I can’t wait to be back!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #UNWNDCamiguin ⁣⁣ #ArtOfBeingChill ⁣⁣ #IsleComeAgain
I am sooo loving my tan! After two months in the c I am sooo loving my tan! After two months in the cold, I finally got to catch up with summer in the tropics, in CAMIGUIN!⁣ ⁣ It has been 9 years since my previous visit and the island has managed to maintain its laidback charm. A quick 3D2N break from the city, just enough to refuel me for the days ahead. Here’s a short clip featuring the places we visited over the weekend. ⁣ ⁣ 📍 We stayed at UNWND Boutique Hotel which opened just this February! Its location across White Island, is the perfect jump off point for the sandbar, and the inland tour. Camiguin is small, and two full days would be enough to cover most of the destinations and activities. Of course, tired from a full itinerary, we got home to a really glorious accommodation. More about it soon. ⁣ ⁣ #ArtOfBeingChill ⁣ #UNWNDCamiguin⁣ #IsleComeAgain⁣
