Hey there, welcome to my page!
Berryduchess.com is my favourite space where I talk about makeup, skin care, travel, food, books, life and love.

KNOW ME MORE..
My name is Roma. I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines and currently based in Singapore. I’m a graduate of University of Santo Tomas (go USTe!) with a Bachelor’s degree in Legal Management. My career in the past 10 years was mainly focused on Customer Service, Client Management and Marketing but today, I’m a content creator by choice.
I’m a full time wife who loves listening to Maroon 5 like FOREVER! On my free time (which is A LOT!) I read books and create contents for this blog; I’m a beauty enthusiast & a Karaoke Superstar in my own rights. I’m also an ambivert with coffeeholic tendencies and an optimist yogi, with a resting bitch face, by heart. Namaste! I wear my heart on my sleeves with every post that I publish. And each review aims to contain as many details as possible to serve as a guide to my readers.
Ambivert | Bibliophile | Beauty Enthusiast | Coffeeholic | Karaoke Superstar | KDrama addict | Marooner & Swiftie | Optimist Yogi with a resting bitch face | Pluviophile | Quote Collector | Struggling Minimalist
Thru this space, I want to inspire you to feel beautiful about yourself regardless of size, shape, colour and profession. This world has so many rules but we keep forgetting one of the most important rules and that is loving ourselves. I’ve been wearing glasses since 2 years old and I’ve been a full-time wife since 2014 but these things didn’t stop me from exploring and discovering my own kind of beauty. And yes, each of us has a unique way of being beautiful so embrace yourself. Be unconventional. Be eccentric. Be you.

You asked for some feedback at the Community Pool, so I hope you don’t mind if I give it here. The following is only advice, and you can agree or disagree as you see fit:
*You’ve got quite a few headers, you may want to cut them down to the bare essentials (eg ‘Picks of the week’. I don’t feel an outdated page is much use in the header, but you may disagree)
*I love your social media link pictures
*You write very well with lots of pictures, and the theme suits your blog very well
As you can see, I only had one minor thing, and I really enjoyed reading your blog!
Best, Matt

Hey, Matt!
First of all, thank you for dropping by and checking my blog.
Second, thanks for your comment. I appreciate it, really. I agree with you and I am in the process of narrowing them down because I wanted a slimmer header and I got a feedback before where a fellow blogger sai that most of the time, readers are not a fan of pull down menus. 😀
Thanks again and I will definitely consider your comments 😀
xo,
berry
