Sip - Hazelnut Milk Tea

Hello readers!

Sip Philippines - Hazelnut Milk Tea Review (http://www.thegracefulmist.com/)

I recently headed to one of my favorite milk tea stores, Sip. This time, I tried their Hazelnut Milk Tea. It has a taste that somehow reminds me of Milo. Its flavor is quite similar to their Chocolate Milk Tea. The store, a small place located in the middle of a busy and crowded mall was nice and welcoming. Despite the existing noise outside, it`s still quite a good place to study, work, or meet with friends. It has a bright interior design which resonates a cheerful atmosphere. It`s definitely a good place to go if you`ve been feeling quite isolated at home since you can do your school or work related tasks there, and bring your personal gadgets.

Personal Reminders: A Message Before 18

"Dear 17 year old self,

You`re about to turn 18 in less than an hour. Before you reach the considered age of majority, please know that despite reaching legal adulthood, you shouldn`t lose the innocence of the child within you. Adulthood is not the part of life wherein one loses the innocence and purity of a child, it`s merely a part of life wherein one acquires heavier and more serious set of obligations and responsibilities which entails survival.

Sip Store - Honeycomb Waffle and Honey Milk Tea

Hello readers,

Sip Store - Honeycomb Waffle and Honey Milk Tea (The Graceful Mist Photo)

I recently went to one of my favorite stores, "Sip". I went ahead and tried their Honeycomb Waffle for the second time and Honey Milk Tea for the first time. The waffle was really delicious and filling. It has the right size to fill up an empty stomach. The honey milk tea, like most milk teas I`ve tasted, was flavorsome.

The Honeycomb Waffle was served fresh from the waffle maker. It tasted more appetizing when it was hot so it`s better to consume it as soon as it`s ready. It was a bit burnt when I got it the second time I tried it but it actually tasted alright.

The front part of the Honeycomb Waffle looks like it was puffed inside by Honey. It reminds me of my memory foam pillow wherein whenever you poke it or touch it, the shape of your hand or item leaves a mark on the pillow but then it will slowly fade back to its original form.

Snacks of the Month: Town 82k Wheat Biscuits (Oat Tea and Natural Black)

Hello dear readers!

Snacks of the Month: Town 82k Wheat Biscuits - Oat Tea and Natural Black (The Graceful Mist Photo)

For July`s Snacks of the Month, I chose Town 82k Wheat Biscuits. These crumbly biscuits are so delicious. They are good for the body too since they contain wheat and dietary fiber. Town 82k Wheat Biscuits comes in different varieties such as “Oat Tea”, “Natural Black”, and “Original Wheat”. Last month, I had the opportunity to taste “Oat Tea” and “Natural Black” only.

These biscuits fill me up when I haven`t eaten a proper meal yet. They contain such a natural wheat flavor without being bland. Because they contain a good source of fiber and other good ingredients, I don`t feel very guilty munching on these snacks. It`s as if I`m just adding goodness to my body.

Just looking at the photos of these biscuits makes my stomach churn. Unfortunately, I don`t think I can get another promo of these enjoyable biscuits because of the limited stocks that came with a "buy 1 and take 1" promo.

Refreshing and Renewing The Graceful Mist

The Graceful Mist blog was created as a beauty, lifestyle and personal blog. It contained posts like beauty product reviews, personal and travel posts, and other random entries. It was cluttered. It didn`t have a specific purpose and direction so on January 16, 2015, all posts were removed from the blog in order to refresh its content.

Making Changes | The Graceful Mist

Dear readers,

It has been such a crazy journey starting new and old alterations in my lifestyle but during this journey, I realized that making changes is not easy because it requires great self-control and dedication. There were things I was afraid to let go of, but with faith and determination, I`ll hopefully be able to overcome and let go of them.

Sip - Green Milk Tea

Hello dear readers,

Sip is a milk tea store with several branches in the country. Months ago, I first tried their Chocolate Milk Tea. At first, the taste has taken me aback but after drinking a few milk teas, I got used to the tastes. I now appreciate the blend of tea and milk.

The drink in the photo is the green milk tea in large. It costs Php 80.00. As far as I know, this is the 2nd time I tasted Sip`s green milk tea. Since I`m already used to the taste of milk teas, I liked the taste of this one. There`s just a right amount of blend. It tasted way better because of the pearls/sago. Like most times, it was nice to "chew" the pearls/sago while drinking the milk tea because pearls complement milk teas well just like the way they complement shakes.

As far as I`m aware, the third photo above was taken when I first tasted Sip`s green milk tea. What`s quite funny is, coincidentally, I still chose a violet straw the second time I tasted their green milk tea because they didn`t have a big pink straw and I also got another leaflet from Sip store. The third photo looks like it was taken the same time the second photo was taken.

(Natural Vision) Vision Therapy Eyewear - The Bates Method for Eyesight Improvement

Hello wonderful readers,

Recently, when I was looking around at Watsons, I saw this Vision Therapy Eyewear that uses the Bates method for improving the eyes. This got me highly excited because a few months ago, I was given the idea that natural improvement and/or correction of the eyes are possible so when I found this, it became like a hidden gem beneath the racks. This innovative product`s very appealing and interesting because it somehow works.

At Watsons`, there were available eyewears people can try. Because I was curious with the claims of this product, I wore a pair and saw that somehow it helped me see better. It was somehow amusing because the light traveled in straight directions (as stated in the pamphlet/flyer).

The Vision Therapy Eyewear resembles a sunglasses but with dots. There are different sizes you can choose from, there`s "s," "m," "l," and "u". The "s" or small is the smallest and "l" and "u" are the biggest. The "u" resembles sunglasses while the rest resembles the typical eyeglasses but with black front part. It doesn`t have any prescriptions. It`s basically just like sunglasses with dots.

I`ve been trying this eyewear for a few days but I only put it on when I`m watching the television or using the computer for a few minutes or hours. When I`m having a  hard time reading or seeing, I would use my eyeglasses. It`s recommended to use this as a substitute for the eyeglasses or an alternatvie whenever the user is indoors. If it`s going to be used as an alternative, it`s recommended to use lower prescription glasses and this item. It`s not advisable to use while driving or even outdoors because it obstructs the full vision because of the black front part. I can only see through the dots. When I`m using this eyewear, I can see well but if I were to look at a picture, I can often sense the dots on the eyewear.
