Lessons on Debt

In an earlier episode of The Fandesals Podcast (currently on Google, Apple and Spotify and also on YouTube), we discussed the topic of our Tough Ten Adulting Realizations. I decided to recycle an old post from an earlier version of my blog related to the topic of Learning the Value of Money. The episode on Spotify  and YouTube is embedded at the end of this post. Enjoy!


Debt. Who doesn’t have it these days? I know I do.

When I was younger and starting out I had responsibilities to take care of that I couldn’t pay off with just my salary alone per month tiding me over. I learned early on how to avail of loans and had started using credit cards to be able to pay off the necessary expenses. Thankfully, however, I also learned the value of being able to responsibly decide when to take on a loan and how to pay it back. Some people, however, are not as lucky.

Product Review: Three-in-One HiFu Device

In an earlier episode of The Fandesals Podcast (currently on Google, Apple and Spotify and also on YouTube), we discussed the topic of aesthetic services. During the pandemic I tried the "at-home" approach and bought items I could use to get the similar experience at home. I decided to recycle an old post from an earlier version of my blog related to this. The episode on Spotify is embedded at the end of this post. Enjoy!


As I have been posting about last year, I have been focusing on working out more during this pandemic. Mostly just to make sure that I stay healthy enough so that my body/immune system would be strong enough during these crazy times. One positive effect of this practice has been weight loss. I have lost a lot of weight in the past few months as a result of diet and exercise and one thing that I made sure to pay attention to was my worry about sagging skin on my face. One thing I’ve noticed about people who lose a lot of weight is that they tend to look older in the face after so I thought I’d make sure that it did not happen to me. This is where this product from Kissed Beauty MNL comes in: the Mini HiFu portable device.



I had heard about the concept of using high-focused ultrasound to make your face firmer and slimmer before but it was only when I was going through some stores on Instagram that I learned that there were devices that you could buy for home use. When I discovered this device, I had messaged several stores before I finally decided to buy it from Kissed Beauty Manila. They were very easy to contact and were able to give me all the information I needed to know about the product. An added bonus was that I could pay via credit card, which I preferred since I would rather not go out to pay for it or use cash to pay a delivery person. They have been very helpful from the purchase to the delivery process, along with the after-service when I had a lot of questions during the first time I was using it.

Chasing Life

In an earlier episode of The Fandesals Podcast (currently on Google, Apple and Spotify and also on YouTube), we discussed the topic of TV shows we binge-watched. I decided to recycle an old post from an earlier version of my blog related to this because I forgot to mention this show! The episode on Spotify is embedded at the end of this post. Enjoy!


One of the TV shows that I’ve found myself becoming a fan of is Chasing Life. The story of a young woman and her journey with cancer, it is something that I find myself relating to after my recent thyroid scare.


I love that the TV show inspires people who have the disease to “chase life” even if they have cancer. I love that they give cancer patients a face and help viewers understand what they go through. There are some things in life you cannot relate to or understand unless it happens to you -- this show gives you the opportunity to look at what life could be like if you had cancer.
