JUJU EATS

JUJU EATS? I will share my thoughts about it.. Basically, it's for people who are watchful with what they eat. Those who love salad and juicing, this is the place to be! We tried it out of curiosity, nagpanggap  kami for a moment. Hahaha! Although, It took a while for us to finally choose what to eat, they have wide selections ( which is a good thing) but it's a bit confusing, too. I also tried their Qcumber quench - consists of cucumber, pineapple and mint. It was alright, but I  still prefer a plain cucumber juice over this. Haha. In short, yung gawa ko.  My DIY wrap: Wheat tortilla, basil, cilantro, grilled chicken, feta cheese, cucumber and caesar dressing Price starts at  Php 135  for half order or wrap.

While in TMC, they gave me anti-histamine shot- I am not scared of needles but this one was really ouchy,  I was also asked to take oral antihistamines, so I did. Few days after, to my disappointment, none worked to ease my discomfort. I instantly called my doctor-bestfriend, Carlo and asked for steroids that I can take with Celestamine; He gave me Prednisone.  On my way to buy the meds he prescribed, I stumbled upon this life-saver skin products that are perfect for hypersensitive skin. I was skeptical at first, so I just bought the Thermal Spring water a...
