Hello there and WELCOME back to my channel. Since graduation season is coming celebrations and festivities will definitely be the smell of the air. How about an eat all you can for the entire family?

A few weeks ago I was invited to be part of a blogging event for the Food Club Manila. Together with 9 other blogger colleagues, we went on a mini food coma because of the wide selection of food inspired by Eastern to Western cuisine.

How about you check out the video below to learn more!

The Food Club open kitchen restaurant features four major kitchen stations, Asian Kitchen Station, Western Kitchen Station, Cold Kitchen Station and Dessert Kitchen Station.

The western Kitchen Station showcases the finest cuisines of Europe and the Americas. My most Favorite of all is the carving station. I'm a carnivore chic who loves her meat served medium rare. Unfortunately during the time I was there, they don't have it available.

The long array of selections in the Asian Kitchen Station varies from Singaporean, Japanese, Thai, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Malaysian to Filipino Cuisines which come with different action stations - Tempura section, Shabu-shabu station.

There is a separate Chinese Section which features a wide array of authentic Chinese hot food cooked to perfection, a roasting section and dim sum section.

The Dessert Kitchen Station is pure perfection with all the delectable sweets arranged in pure awesomeness. Check out these bonbons! Aren't they tiny balls of ecstasy?

Despite my lack of certification, I consider myself a foodie. Having said that, visiting an open kitchen and seeing how food is deliver from the chef's cutting board to my white plate is such an experience. And of course I want my readers and viewers to share the joy of food coma.. hehe Head on over to my youtube channel to learn more about the giveaway.

Here is a photo of their regular rate:

If you are reading this post, you are probably suffering from acne. There's no need to be embarrassed. I feel you. I have been there. In fact, I suffered from it for 5 years. And just like you, I have tried everything to cure it but still, it's incurable.

Fortunately, I'm now able to control my acne. I follow a strict diet and skin care regimen (comment below if you wanna see a blog post about this). And although I do get spots once in awhile, the scars left by my previous battle with acne constantly reminds me that it was never like this.

I was left with horrible crater marks and hyper pigmentation along the sides of m cheeks and around my nose.

You wanna see how deep they are.. watch this Halloween Tutorial video. This is a close up of what I looked like before.

3 Months after using the derma roller.

After months of googling and youtubing, I found a video that talks about a device that can help me with this dilemma. It is called a DERMA ROLLER. During that time, it wasn't as easily available here in the Philippines than in the States. I kept waiting and waiting until just a few months ago, I saw a photo on facebook.

A Dermal Roller is a genius invention. It is a simple hand held skin roller device which has surgical steel micro-needles which are able to part the pores of the top layer of the skin without damaging it. It creates micro cuts that will trick the skin to immediately heal which at the same time allows older scars to heal with it as well.The pores of the skin close again after about an hour, but during that period your skin is able to absorb skin creams and lotions much more efficiently. You can even provide vitamin rich treatment cream to make this process even more effective and do ensure your body gets the nutrition it needs.

The photo below shows a magnified view of the roller. The micro-needles on the derma roller are only 1 millimetre long (there is also stock a 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.5mm device) so all you feel is a tickling sensation when the Derma Roller is used.
