The Struggles of Women with PCOS you don't Understand



I was diagnosed that I have a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) more than a year ago. It is a condition in which a woman's levels of sex hormones estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. This leads to the growth of ovarian cysts which is benign masses on the ovaries.

While I was waiting for my OB to interpret the result of my ultrasound, I was really scared. There are many questions running through my mind. Do I need to undergo operation? Will I still be able to conceive a child? Why me?

Luckily, I don't have to go an operation since my "babies" in the ovary (I call them babies) are just 0.5-0.9cm small. I am now over a year under medication. There are many changes in me because of my condition that sadly many people does not understand. Women with condition like mine go through struggles. Let me share this with you.



1. I gained wieght - People around me would usually tell me that I'm so fat, I'm getting bigger and bigger. You have to start dieting! Imagine that? I already have this condition and what I get from people around me is rejection. If only I could explain to every single person about my condition. They would understand what I'm going through and maybe they'll stop telling me things about my weight. PCOS makes it easier for me to gain weight and harder for me to lose weight no matter how hard I tried.



2. Treating PCOS is Expensive - I am taking three kinds of medicine to treat my PCOS. One every morning, one every after lunch and one every night. The one I take every night are the most expensive. So imagine that? Plus the diet I need to watch, we all know that healthy foods are expensive and processed food are cheap. Plus my monthly check-up.



3. I have Mood swings - PCOS affects not only my weight or my finances but also my MOOD. I know I'm such a pain in the ass with some people around me. I got irritated so easily and I just can't control it. (I'm sorry guys...)

Those are just some of my struggles. There came a point in my life when I told myself that I'm not gonna let PCOS control my life or define me. I am not alone in this battle. So what I did, I went to the  gym, do yoga, attend Hiitmax and TRX classes. I did lose a little weight which my OB told me that it's an achievement since it's so hard for me with PCOS to lose weight. Now, I have accepted my condition. I told myself PCOS is just a PCOS. It will hinder me to become better but it will not stop me from trying. Afterall, life must go on!

Water Rafting Adventure at Malinao, Albay

I never thought I'll experience such an extreme water activity in my own province, the province of Albay. Albay is best known for its "perfect cone" Mayon Volcano and its native cuisine the Bicol Express. But now, Albay is getting known for the different tourist spots where you can swim in the white beaches, have a picnic and witness breathtaking views and experience extreme activities. One of which is the Water Rafting at Malinao, Albay.

Just a 45-minute drive from Legaspi City, you can already reach Malinao, Albay.
Upon reaching the camp, we were able to take a wonderful picture with Mayon Volcano. 
We arrived at around 9AM at the camp and the tour guides will let you register first, gives you safety orientation about the activity and will let you sign a waiver. By the way the tourist guides are all friendly, accommodating and trustworthy.

Safety gears are complete! :)
We had a 20-minute trekk before we reached the calmest part of the river. The tour guides also have dogs which also serves as a tour guides as well and they're so cute!




After 20 minutes of trekking, hola! We're good to go!Excitement are on our faces! :)

Oh em gee!


We survived!
This is such a wonderful experience. I got a little nervous when the current is very strong, but I just shout and shout and shout! Like a roller coaster ride. Our water rafting lasted for about 20 minutes and all I can say is I wanna try it again and again and again.  So guys! Come visit Albay and don't forget on your list to try this one!
In case you're wondering who's taking our pics, its the tour guides using our phones. They're good in taking pics right? :)

Review | Beauche' International Products?

As a lady, we all like to have that perfect flawless look. We all like to have a fairer skin that we can flaunt! We all like to look good and we all like to have unedited selfies (lol). 

Almost all of us has a struggle to achieve this. I bet, most of girls have tried so many whitening products that promises us to have that fairer and flawless skin. 

As for me, it's really my frustration to have a flawless skin, to go out without make-up and to have that photo-ready look. I have freckles on my face (since I was a child) that's why I really put foundation and concealer to cover it. As a result, my skin looks so dull without make-up. I was used to putting make-up on since I started working. I used to work at a 4-star hotel where make-up is part of the uniform. Late last year, I resigned from my work to focus on my small online business and I decided also to take further studies. I do not need to put make-up like before, that's why I'm really not that confident without make-up because my skin looks so dull and tired. 

I have been hearing this product the Beauche' International which promises to give you flawless, fairer and beautiful skin. At first, I was hesitant to use this because I'm not used on trying products like this. But I feel like I'm hopeless, that's why I tried. And Hola! I did not regret using this products. It was just last February 2016 when I first started using this. Three weeks later, my friends started to notice the changes on my skin. They started to compliment me and were even asking what am I using. 

Let me share with you which Beauche' products I am using and it's benefits. :)
