FM Perfume

As I am not a fan of perfumes, I never buy them with my hard-earned money.
But when they are given as gifts, I appreciate them as they are.
Seldom do I get to love any scent for long, but this one is a bit different as it is pleasing me for almost a month now.

Perfume Brand: FM (Frederico Mahora)
Company: FM Group World
Size: 50 ml
Color: Peach



The packaging is simply classy and is ideal to be given as a gift. The white box has a satin finish. It originally has a peach ribbon tied around the "neck" of the bottle but I already misplaced it.

On my first use I initially had slight headache due to the strong scent. As the day went on and during my next uses, I eventually got along with the smell and slowly loved it.

Its very feminine yet strong scent smells like sampaguita as my officemate described it.
I only need one spray that I distribute to several of my pulse points, and the scent lingers all day.

Will this be the first ever perfume that I'll ever finish? Or will it eventually be given to a dear friend or a loved one, like how my other perfumes ended up?

Let's wait and find out...


Update (5/21/15): I still love the scent!! :)

Update (4/25/16): I really loved the scent but I wasn't able to finish the bottle because after a few months I decided to give it away because of source issues. I mean I didn't like to keep it because of its giver. That's it. 

Mercury Drug Suki Day Book 2015

I've been a fan of Mercury Drug Suki Day Books since 2012 when I also started using the Suki Card. For the previous years I used the points in my own Mercury Drug Suki Card to have my Day Book. My 2015 one was lovingly given by my wonderful husband.



Aside from its being a gift from my significant other, it is also the notebook for Mercury Drug's 70th year in the business.

It has several sections which start off with a page describing the stages in our life, as associated with the stages in the 70 years of Mercury Drug.

Here are the sections:
  • The Growing Years
  • Discovering the Bigger WOrld
  • Enjoying Newfound Independence
  • Expanding Horizons
  • The Age of Stability and Reflection
  • Pursuing Other Passions
  • Giving Back in Gratitude
It's amazing to have a glimpse of Mercury Drug's beginnings and former successes.

I use my day book for my everyday tasks at work. It's already almost May and I am still writing at the third section. Looking forward to finishing the rest of this year with it.
