More Fun in the Philippines and Asia with AirAsia Zest
I’m a big fan of flying. I try to fly as often as I could. I love how it saves much time and energy when traveling a thousand miles. I love airplanes. I love the view of the clouds from the cabin window. I think clouds are ever pretty up there! Though I’ve only been to Southeast Asian countries, I know I love being airborne… so perhaps it follows,
I love AirAsia! 🙂

The World’s Best Low Cost Airline
If there’s a low cost carrier that is close to my heart that will be AirAsia. I flew my first overseas travel with them and had a memorable experience. My flight to Hongkong turned out to be less frightening [than what my friend warned me about/ than I thought] because of the friendly on board flight attendants, delicious in-flight meal, comfortable seat and zero motion discomfort…
My recent travel to Singapore was even better. Initially, I had a cancelled flight but I was able to rebook an earlier schedule with the help of AirAsia customer representative on Facebook! It was so convenient! The staff replied to all my inquiries attentively! I felt their genuine support! If I could fly with AirAsia in all my travels, I’d be very delighted!
Having said that, I felt ecstatic upon hearing about AirAsia’s partnership with Zest Air. That’s right! Starting September 20, 2013, Zest Air is flying with AirAsia from NAIA Terminal 4 as AirAsia Zest! Refreshing name huh! And though I didn’t actually mind travelling to Clark Airport in my previous trips, I think not needing to go to DMIA anymore to travel with this grand low cost carrier is utterly superb! ALSO, AirAsia Zest will allow me to fly from NAIA Terminal 4 to my destination at affordable prices! And by affordable, I mean cheap with no hidden charges!
Let’s compare the prices, shall we?
Manila to Davao
AirAsia Zest: Php888 VS Competing LCC: Php 1000+
Manila to Kota Kinabalu
AirAsia Zest: Php1840 VS Competing LCC: PHP2,732.01
SO? WHAT’S YOUR VERDICT?

| BETTER CHOOSE THE RIGHT WAY TO FLY!!!! (I flew to Singapore with AirAsia! So I got this perfect Jumpshot(?)) |
Travel bloggers like me really want to save on the air fare without sacrificing flight safety. Luckily, I can have both with AirAsia Zest. Plus, I get to experience great in-flight services that will make me forget about how cheap I spent [for the ticket]!!!
AirAsia Zest is indeed the right way to fly!
Now that AirAsia Zest is flying from NAIA Terminal 4 to different domestic and international destinations such as: Cebu, Davao, Kalibo (Boracay), Puerto Princesa, Tagbilaran, Cagayan De Oro, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, Shanghai, China, Incheon, South Korea; I decided to write down my next travel destinations list!
PLACES TO VISIT
1. CEBU!
De-stressing tops my vacation list. By that I meant nature therapy so I’d love to go back to the Queen City of the South, again! The last time I went there, I visited some historical sites. This time I’d love to feel really close to nature. I want to go Island hopping, trekking… I want to try the recommended outdoor activities on blogs I follow. I heard that in Cebu, there are lots of fun and festive nature tripping sites to see and also lots of food to eat. It works perfectly well for me! I’d love to munch on Cebu’s Lechon and dried mangoes while appreciating the laid-back and sophisticated lifestyle in the city! I can’t wait to go back and have a grand time! And maybe if I’m lucky enough I’d get myself a new decent guitar as birthday present! 🙂

2. CAGAYAN DE ORO!!
While I enjoyed most water activities in Boracay, I’ve never experienced rafting. I’d really love to go to Cagayan de Oro River and enjoy their famous white water rafting or kayaking adventures [this time without the maddening crowd of Boracay LOL]. I also want to promote on my blog about their pristine waterfalls, historical and majestic caves, beaches, street scenes, and of course, food! [I feel so hungry!]

| Just sharing this photo from crocodile island 🙂 “Snorkeling Kang” 🙂 Next time it’s definitely rafting in CDO river! |
3. DAVAO!!!
Food tripping, specifically with tropical and seasoned fruits, is also on my list. This alone makes me wanna visit Davao and see for myself Kadayawan Festival fruit bazaars! I LOVE FRUITS! I am a maniac for fruits! I’ve been wanting to go to Davao (especially to our Church lot with hectares of fruit-bearing trees)! Now it’s possible to go to Davao because of AirAsia Zest’s unrivalled daily low fares! Thank you AirAsia Zest!
 |
| In DAVAO, I can get more of these precious goodies and others like DURIAN, POMELO and MANGOSTEEN |
Going international?!
As for my next international destination, I am going to Kota Kinabalu! You saw AirAsia Zest’s low fare right?! And the photo below? Who wouldn’t grab the lovely opportunity? And besides it’s AirAsia Zest! It sure lives up to the same high standards of its partner, AirAsia! So worry no more and just enjoy! 🙂

Perfume Dessert wears long, makes you fragrant on travels
“She smells good,” whispers a fellow blogger to another after I hugged them at the FAM Tour accommodation in Pangasinan. I swear I am not exaggerating. I myself was surprised. I just got off from a 6-hour bus commute, I remember spritzing Perfume Dessert before I left the house. Could it be that this perfume wears long?
We can all agree that smelling good is important. That’s why we use perfumes—for our home, laundry, car, and most of all, for our body. But that doesn’t mean you solely depend on the perfume to smell good. Fundamentally, you have to be hygienic.
With all that said, I use perfume every day. I bring it when I go to the gym, whenever I go out of the house, and needless to say, when I travel.
The perfume I am using these days is Perfume Dessert. I received this just last month, tested different scents for days, and have been popping them in my bag since.
I think I left a good impression when I walked into the room smelling fragrant. Members of this fam tour noticed the smell.
Before I share with you my Perfume Dessert fragrance test and review, (and a business opportunity too), here’s a short poem I dedicate to fellow perfume lovers!
My kind of perfume—
is something that wears long…
adheres to the skin,
but light to the nose…
A scent mellow and fresh
uplifts my spirit…
like my favourite food or drink,
that is
Perfume Dessert!
It’s a must-sniff…
warm…
nostalgic…
reminds you of being nurtured,
my kind of perfume!

Okay… I’ve already given away my thoughts about Perfume Dessert. I like them. And below are the reasons why. I listed down the reasons based on my sound judgment as someone who used to make perfumes back in the day. Yeah. I did have my own perfume business even before the hype of the perfume-making seminars online. The small business served me well for at least a year…
Why I like Perfume Dessert
1. True to its label
The product claims to be: ☑ Categorized as Eau de Parfum ☑ Made in London ☑ Lasts 4-8 hours. This makes sense. Its 20 to 30% concentrated perfume oils makes it under the EDP category and making it last longer. The product also has the “506” label on the packaging which means it’s imported from the UK because the UK’s product barcode is from “500-509”.
2. It wears long
I did my fragrance test with each Perfume Dessert bottle. The scents I sprayed on cardboard strips lasted more than 12hrs, some remain fragrant for 14hrs. Scents stayed for almost the same period when sprayed on clothes. As expected, scents I sprayed on my forearm lasted 5-9 hours. The Cotton Candy and Pińa Colada showed relatively faint scent after 10 hours than Raspberry scents and Peach Bourbon Popsicle.
3. Instantly brightens your mood
Yes. Fragrance can affect/ change your mood. That is why I mentioned earlier, we can all agree it is important to smell good. Unpleasant smell sends a pain signal to the brain kinda warning it from imminent danger. Good smell works wonders. It can send pleasant signals to the brain and instantly increase your alertness or invigorate your senses (think of the essential oils in a spa), uplift your mood and make you feel relaxed. Perfume Dessert is formulated with the notes from the desserts we love. When you smell it, it sends a signal to the brain as if you’re “eating delectable, comfort food”. Same pleasure and mood effects but with zero calories.
4. Budget-friendly
A 30ml Perfume Dessert bottle only costs Php250. The premium scents like Hennessey’s Berries & Bayleaf cost Php380. All the scents that I have tried are regular scents that cost Php250.
5. Travel-friendly
If you’ve had your precious perfume confiscated at the airport security before or leaked your bottle in one of your flights, there’s no way you want that to happen again. The solution: bring 30ml Perfume Dessert because it is travel-friendly. The clever tube box packaging not only looks dainty but provides another level of protection in maintaining the quality of the perfume and keeping it safe for breakage, spoilage, diffusing, and leakage. And it is perfect as gifts because of its elegant appeal. Its shape and size is perfect for touch-ups on the go.
Here is a list of scents that you can choose from their line:
Perfume Dessert available scents
☑ Apple Pomegranate Salad
☑ Black Raspberry Vanilla Ice Cream
☑ Cake pops
☑ Cucumber Melon Cooler
☑ French Macaroon
☑ Fruit Tart
☑ Gumdrops
☑ Orange Mimosa Sherbet

☑ Plum & Black Locust
☑ Peony & Red Apples
☑ Hazelnut & Cedar
☑ Persian Sea Salt & Ambrett
☑ Grey Tea & Cucumber
☑ Amber & Bluebell
☑ Juicy Pear & Corvette
☑ Hennessey’s Berries & Bayleaf
Hennessey’s Berries & Bayleaf is the latest addition to the Perfume Dessert line. The perfume has a gorgeous earthy, rich, wrist crack kind of linear scent. With top notes of fresh berries, tempered beautifully with the strongly aromatic bay.
The Scents that I got to try:
☑ Black Raspberry Vanilla Ice Cream
This scent has a tangy and woody-nuance of black raspberry tamed with the sweet, cozy, comforting, with a pleasing cookie-baking feeling of vanilla. Perfect for younger Millenials who are fond of perfume’s notes like a delicious dessert.
PROS: Good for day and evening wear
CONS: Not a very complex scent profile
☑ Cotton Candy Unicorn
Cotton Candy Unicorn has a strong cotton candy note that doesn’t lose much of its sweetness over the course of the day, although it does melt more into the skin, creating a “warm” smell, like a vanilla-sugar scrub in the sunshine. To me a spray seems like a throwback to my childhood.
PROS: Ideal for daytime wearing, very bubbly scent
CONS: Too immature or too sweet for most women
☑ Pińa Colada
Pińa Colada is a sweet, rum-based cocktail made with light rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, usually served either blended or shaken with ice. I like it as a drink. As for fragrance, it’s good but it’s not something I’d wear daily. Maybe one fun evening out on a cold winter? But if you like the fruity tropical pineapple and coconut scents with sweet notes, this is a must-try.
PROS: Has an energetic and fresh vibe, ideal for evening use
CONS: Relatively not that long-lasting
☑ Peach Bourbon Popsicle
The Peach Bourbon Popsicle is going to make your summer happy. Like a peach bourbon drink, it is made to smell like Jim Beam Bourbon, mixed with fresh peaches and Greek yoghurt. The scent is smooth, creamy, cold, delicious peachy slash aged-wood warm vanilla.
PROS: Has a well-balanced aromatic blend
CONS: Moderate sillage, Not ideal for very young women
☑ Raspberry Smoothie
The Raspberry Smoothie has a sweet blend of raspberry and creamy hints that’s not too strong or bothersome. I see myself wearing this on regular workdays but maybe not when it is too hot outside. Sweet notes of raspberry make for a more girly interpretation of the original drink.
PROS: Long-lasting
CONS: Has a simple scent profile
