First Time to Make Coconut Macaroons

Since this would be my first time to make coconut macaroons, I have asked for help from my Auntie to make it. Everytime she has occasions, I always see from her table coconut macaroons which are really very yummy. I am even drooling now literally as I write this post. She volunteered to buy the recipes needed since I don't know and get the things needed since I also don't have them. I just gave her money so that she can buy to the grocery store.

I WAS VERY EXCITED!




The recipes needed where dessicated coconut, sugar, eggs, raisins, condensed milk & etc. I know we have our own versions of this so this is ours.

My auntie borrowed materials that we need from a relative of her who is also fond of making coconut macaroons. The things she brough are toaster and small metal cups.As you can see, we all lovem macaroons.

Anyways, I helped her prepare all the materials especially in mixing the ingredients & putting the mixed material in the toaster. She was the one who is in charge id the coconut macaroons is already baked.


I am so happy to achieved this! I am hoping I can do this again alone without the help of others.

Struggles of Having Skin Allergy & My Remedies

March 2014, when I noticed my skin having red patches. It isn't just red patches at all but along with it is that itchiness I felt and it really spreads all over my body. I didn't mind it at all at first. I asked my colleague about it and she recommended me an over-the-counter drug which I bought right after my shift. I bought I guess 5 quantities of the drug and it is called anti-histamine. That was my first time hearing the word so I assumed that it was because of my histamines. But don't worry because I already did a little reasearch about it. But to tell you honestly, until now the cause is still UNKNOWN.

My main purpose of writing this experience of mine is to share it with you guys because there might be some of you who are experiencing this as well.  Below is a sample picture of my skin allergy breakout. It attacks when I am already at home from work. I work night shift BTW. 

As I have mentioned, my first remedy for this skin allergy is an over-the-counter anti-histamine drug. I have spent quite big money since it is really kinda expensive. I didn't think of going to a doctor yet. I didn't consider going to a doctor yet because it thought I it just a minor issue. Until such time that it keeps coming back day after day and I have been so dependent already the drug everytime ai have breakout. It really sucks especially it goes to my face. I also find it hard to breath. I heard cases like these already from people I know but they are already okay. Weeks passed by, I just can't ignore it anymore. 

I have another colleague who had skin allergy. She was sent home and was advised to see a dermatologist. I asked her about it and she said that the dermatologist advised to her to put a calamine lotion to the areas with hives on it to relieve the itchiness. So I asked her again where I could buy it and she recommended to me she bought one in Watsons. 

The cost of this Calamine Lotion I bought is less than P50.00 pesos. I use it as an alternative with the anti-histamine drug. 

It helped but not that much because as time passes by, my skin allergy has became chronic. this is the very moment I have decided to see a specialist to the nearest hospital in my place. 

The doctor asked me allergy-related questions. Base from his questions, it has nothing to do with the food I eat. I also told the doctor this is the first time I experienced this problem. We are not sure yet if it is  because of my work environment or if I am allergic with drugs etc. 

He advised me to not take anti-histamines anymore because I am supposed to undergo a Skin allergy Test after I week I comsulted with him. He gave me some Skin Allergy Tips and a cream as well. I didn't pay for the consultation fee because I am covered Intellicare.

Miracolously, after 2 weeks from the day I consulted with the doctor, my skin allergy didn't come back anymore. I am really thankful to God that I don't have to suffer this skin allergy anymore. 

Kojie San Cleanser + Toner

Initially, the reason I bought this product is that it is because it is 2 in 1 wherein it is a cleanser and at the same time a toner. I have been using this for two months now and it really helps removing dirts in my skin and keeping it fresh & soft. I do my buying in Watsons for my beauty products. 

I like the how the product is presented. It is color pale blue so it is not painful if you look at it. The product doesn't ran out right away. I use it everyday but I only ran out of this like after a month from buying it. So you can really say you have saved both time and money. 

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I have heard about this product I think last year through a celebrity I am following in instagram. I became curious until then what this product has to offer. So I did some research in the internet about this and I read a lot of reviews coming from my fellow bloggers. I finally decided I must give it a try.

I bought this product in Watsons. This is just actually a 60mL for only P109.00 which is kinda expensive but we will see. I used my SM Advantage card but it is not really mine though (it's mom's) so I will earn points in purchasing it. 

I want to see what's in it for me espcially now that I am having a skin allergy. (I will post about it.) I am still on my day 2 from the day I used it so I can't tell yet the difference. Until now, I am still using the cosmo soap as my body regimen and along with that I also use Johnson's Baby Milk bath.  

"This gentle, soap-free cleanser was originally formulated for dermatologists, specifically for everyday cleansing of even the most sensitive skin. 

- Soothing, non-irritating cleanser ideal for face hands and body. 

- Helps skin retain needed moisture

- Rinses easily and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and healthy

- Mild enough to cleanse a baby's delicate skin"

As per directions, you can use it with or without water. Amazing right? Or it is just me that first heard about this ever. HAHAHA. 

DIRECTIONS:

For use without water: Apply a liberal amount of cleanser to the skin and rub gently. Remove excess with a soft cloth, leaving a thin film in the skin. 

For use with water: Apply cleanser to the skin and rub gently. Rinse. 

At the back of the label you will see what will get from using this product. 

I am really looking forward to see the effect it will bring me.
