When Mom Violy wanted seafood, one name kept popping up: Breakthrough Restaurant. Would it live up to the hype?

The server informed us that we needed to place our order at the counter and choose the seafood to be weighed, similar to the process at Dampa . Tita Edna was busy snapping photos, while Carmina was filming as Mom Violy placed her order. Breakthrough isn’t air-conditioned, but they provide electric fans at your table for comfort. Mom Violy wanted sinigang and was deciding which kind of fish to have with her soup. Mom Violy requested the crab and shrimp to be cooked in butter and garlic.

Carmina's Going Back Wearing Fuchsia Lipstick

Long time ago when living in California, the only color lipstick I would wear is Fuchsia It has been a long time since I wore that color and now living in the Philippines. I had checked online to see who would have that particular color. My favorite brand is buying from  Avon Cosmetics, Inc .  The good thing I was able to find similar to the color. I used to put foundation as well since too hot in the Philippines. I don't wear it anymore. Due to some of my friends requesting me to wear it again had to look for the shade close to my skin complication. The color I had picked was Light Beige Avon Power Stay 18 Hour Cream to Powder Foundation. Something we often need is the Avon True Power Stay 18 Hour Concealer in Neutral Light Medium. Life being a girlie is putting makeup again. NOTE: NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  a place to look, discover and share. Thank you for your support!
