Maltitol



Today's Haul: Valor Sugar Free Dark Chocolate with Hazelnut. I got these 2 bars of sugar free dark chocolate for a price of 1 (buy one take one promo). It only costs PHP 214.00 at SM supermarket. 

Valor Sugar Free Dark Chocolate with Hazelnut contains maltitol. According to some reliable sources that I've read online, maltitol is a sugar alcohol. It is normally used in sugar free products such as candy, chocolate and nutrition bars. 

The taste has a resemblance with the regular sugar that's why many are using it in their products. Maltitol is a carbohydrate. It has 2 to 3 calories per gram. Since it's a carbohydrate, please expect it to have an impact to your blood glucose. And yes, some people who are consuming maltitol experience intestinal discomfort. So it's best to take it in moderation.

Fruits In Ice Cream



I truly find joy in eating whatever I'd like. However, I really have to control my unhealthy cravings sometimes as I've got some serious health issues that shouldn't be taken for granted. 

I am just thankful that there are restaurants offering guilt-free food for health-conscious people like me. Last time, I've had a yummy dessert at Fruits in Ice Icream in Tagaytay City with baby. It was a no sugar added ice cream but the taste wasn't compromised at all. There were several flavors to choose from but I've picked the mixed berry flavor since it's the store's best seller for the FIC lite option. Would love to try the vanilla flavor on my next visit. 

Skin Lightening Products



Today's Haul: Celeteque moisturizer, Eskinol Spot-less white, Kojie San skin lightening soap and Olay natural white. If you would notice 3 out of 4 are lightening/whitening products. I have a fair skin but I've got a little darker due to frequent sun exposure. 

I'm kind of desperate to get my old skin color back that's why I'm really trying out different skin lightening/whitening products that would actually work for me. I'm going to update you guys once I've noticed any improvements using these beauty products.

Weekend at Project Pie




Project Pie is one of the newly-opened pizza parlors in the south area. I've got the chance to try it with my younger sister and her boyfriend two Saturdays ago. 

People were queuing at the counter when we got in. They looked pretty much excited in selecting the toppings that they'd get for their pies. As a first timer, I got excited too! 

Crumbled meatballs, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and red bell peppers were some of the toppings that I've got while my sister and her bf almost had the same thing except for the jalapenos and pineapples. 

The service was real fast. I got my order in less than five minutes. The first bite was like... Uhhh.. Heaven! The crust was crispy and the toppings were just perfect. I've finished the four slices of pizza in less than 20 minutes. Apart from good food and very fast service, I also liked the ambiance which is very artsy.

Project Pie Branches: 
- Alabang
- Shaw Boulevard
- Blue Bay Walk

Rating: 4.5/5 (Alabang Branch- The ground floor tends to be real crowded. Needs to widen the space a bit)
