Who's Gonna Please Me If Not Me?

 It's nice to feel bad sometimes, to do something you swear not to do, to go against the promises you made for yourself, to go to lengths of cheating your way to happiness.

Truth slaps, we all have something that guilt-trips us to indulgence. Something that whispers and tells us to sin and forget forgiveness. Something that will not bring us to heaven, but will bring heaven to us.

If you ask me what my guilty-pleasure is, I would say it’s my no-bake chocolate moist cake. 

As someone who doesn’t like sweets and swore not to each much of it, my recipe is something that goes against my oath, considering my throat easily gets irritated with sweets, I am never going to be a sweet-tooth, but oh well, we all have a weakness.

My chocolate cake is moist, rich, and chocolatey, especially after it cools down in the fridge.  It may not be as fancy as what you see in the market but it is as sinful. It can be paired with your favorite syrup, a soulful ganache or spreads, or even your favorite fruit confit.

I always feel like a criminal going against the law of my land whenever I have it, and making it is like a ritual I do to fill my hunger for power. An indulgence worthy of its own cult. Each bite calls for a rebellion – a scrumptious one at that.

My chocolate cake is something that pleasures me but also makes me question my life choices.

To let you feel the feelings I feel, I will share to you my No-bake Chocolate Cake Recipe.

Perfume Time! - Dupe Time!

My Favourite Cheap Versions And we're back with the rating and stuff! I woke up this morning facing the shelf where my perfume collection is placed and I realized aside from the BR540 dupes I have written about before, I have also gotten my hands on other perfumes that seems to be a dupe or shamelessly a dupe of expensive ones. In this post, I will be rating them based on my liking, and no one else's because this is my post. :D Kidding aside, I've wanted to do this since this morning and I would lose my mind if I don't write about it while I'm motivated. I don't exactly know how to do this but I'll do it anyway. First of, I'm no experienced fraghead or nose, but I consider myself quite an enthusiast but probably not too much, I just really like smelling good. Second, I love gourmand and don't judge me for it, because my sister does and I don't need any more imaginary hater; I am kinda starting to get inclined with niche perfumes as well since mos...

Isang Linggong Pag-ibig (A Week of Love)

 WAIT! It's not what you think! I will not write about my love life here ( says someone who wrote a letter ). For this blog, I will be taking you with me to an olfactory experience that will reveal which perfumes from my collection are my favourites. For a week, I will be using different perfume each day and describe why this perfume is a must-have (not really, I just want to show you my faves), and when do I usually wear them. A bit of disclaimer, I'm not a pro at perfumes but I do love wearing them because I feel better when I leave an impression of smelling good. It's something I cannot live without. I must say, having this kind of thinking brought me to a place where I kept trying out new ones and buying the ones I liked until comes a point when I didn't notice that I already have a collection. But just like any other collection, there are only some that you'll use on a regular basis, and as for me, these are the ones that come in mind, and because I...
