I removed foundation from my daily routine about a year ago. Prior to the change, a few drops of Estee Lauder Double Wear (still my favorite foundation) was a necessity. But over the last several months I have become more comfortable with a close to bare to a bare face. By no means am I … Continue reading A Little Boost for Your Skin

Being a Dad: Fabian
I was going through old pictures that I completely forgot existed, when I stumbled upon this particular one of Fabian holding our then one year old. It was our first family trip to the Philippines.

Mom
It doesn't feel like that long ago I was 16-17ish, placing my curiosities about my future in an old journal. Specifically the thought of one day having a family.

Dressing Like My Mom
Just got off the phone with my mom. We were joking about how nowadays I find myself dressing more and more like her. Proof is in the yellow shirt I am currently wearing, that I recently purchased at a local thrift store due to 1) My deep appreciation for a vintage aesthetic and 2) It … Continue reading Dressing Like My Mom
