Local: The Little Santorini of Bolinao, Pangasinan 2016

If you’re still looking for a perfect summer hols, this can be the best and rewarding one.

It was a 6-8 hour travel from Manila going to Bolinao. We booked our tickets at Victory Liner, 459 PHP each, at 8:30 PM and left the concrete jungle at 2:00 AM. Be sure to book early!

There were three stop overs along the way and the fourth and last was at the bus terminal and that’s where we alighted. But before heading to the’Little Santorini‘ of Bolinao, we visited some of the tranquil spots.

So went to the Bolinao Falls, Bolinao Beach and The Enchanted Cave.

From those famous landmarks, we took a tricycle and headed to the sublime Sundowners Vacation Villas.

Sundowners Vacation Villas offers a Santorini-inspired vacation villas for rent which is located in Bolinao, Pangasinan. They offer very spacious and truly relaxing villas. Infinity pool? Relaxation area? They all have it.

What we like about this place, you can bring your own food. Yes, you can cook and they will prepare all the kitchenwares you need during your stay. For your convenience, I suggest that you buy your ingredients and goods in Bolinao Wet Market. It’s just near the terminal and the villa so it’s hassle-free!

Even if we only had less than 24 hours to enjoy this ethereal place, I can say that it’s all worth it. The aesthetic exterior of the villas and its views makes it more stunning. 

This was the room in the villa we rented. Isn’t it cozy?

Here are some of the great spots of the villa.

As of the moment, they only accept cash, no credit card or check payments. Good thing though, you won’t be charged for other extra fees, just reserve and enjoy.

There are a lot of astonishing feel-at-home villas to choose from. And if you’re still finding a great vacation experience, I highly recommend this.

Sundowners Vacation Villas is located at Luciente 1, Bolinao, Pangasinan.

Beauty: Marks & Spencer Blissful Strawberry Moisturising Hand and Nail Cream

Aside from our feet, our hands are also one of the busiest parts of our body. Never I imagined myself buying an effective cream for my fatigued hands. 😉

I visited Marks & Spencer in TriNoma and saw bunch of scented lotions and creams. It was Christmas season that time and I was in the zone buying beauty stuff for myself and for my girlfriends. After the stroll, I bought this Blissful Strawberry Moisturising Hand and Nail Cream for myself. I got this for around 200.00 PHP. 🍓

Honestly, I am really not into hand creams ’cause I feel like it’s a bit sticky and I always prefer water-based santizers and alcohols, but this one really got me. 😋 And I don’t know, but the smell really takes my breath away that’s why I bought it right on the spot! And as I tried it, it gave me just the right satisfaction I have been wanting for my hands.

This cream isn’t greasy and is very light for me. It smoothens and softens my hands instantly. Also, it lasts for about 3-4 hours and I do not mind applying it again onto my dry hands. 😍

What I also like about this is you can bring this anywhere. You can put it inside your pocket or pouch since this is just a 50ml tube only. Moreover, this cream has various aroma you’ll surely love.

Let your hands and nails experience comfort! Go visit Marks & Spencer near you and grab one now.
