"More than just a place where you can have your nails done expertly, I have always envisioned our Posh Nails salons to be a place where our customers can relax and feel pampered, where we can help them find comfort and ease from their stress," says pamper queen and Posh Nails owner Cat Ilacad.
I am currently at home on hibernate mode, trying to recover from the week-long stress. But aside from all the events and classes I had to attend to, I also gave myself a much-needed me-time at the Posh Nails Salon in Tomas Morato.
It also coincided with their 13th birthday.
I lalalove Shakey's! I can feast on Mojos for days! During my 26th birthday, I celebrated with just my family, in our house, with all my favorite foods. These included Mojos and Pepperoni Crunch Pizza!
It has been my guilty pleasure to browse my Zalora app every night, when I can't sleep, and place every single dress or shoes or bag in my wish list. Shopping with Zalora is super convenient, every time I place an order the night before, I usually receive my purchase the following day! They also have several payment options, including cash on delivery. And of course, Zalora (even their in house brand) have so much unique and beautiful stuff at affordable price tags, that I just can't resist!
Now, the country's leading online fashion house partners with Japanese automotive brand MAZDA for an exclusive collection inspired by Mazda's KODO design philosophy: the M2 by Mark Bumgarner Collection. I was lucky to have a preview of these designer pieces earlier at the Shangrila Mall.
It's everyone's dream: a cafe inside a library, or a library inside a cafe. Earlier, I went to Manila's newest concept coffee shop Book & Borders in Tomas Morato. I don't care if it's too far for a south kid like me, I wanted to see it for myself! :)
TW Steel celebrates 10 years of BIG TIME.
Here are some of my TW Steel OOTDs for the past years. My sister and I are big fans!
I always wonder how retail brands continue to conceptualize and create something new and different for every season. They never seem to run out of wondrous ideas that people are willing to buy more of their clothes.
True enough, Plains & Prints gets even more creative for 2015. Also celebrating their 20th anniversary, the brand's recent collaboration is with no less than famed lensmen Mark Nicdao and Wig Tysmans. It's a Photo-Fashion Collection!
I love the great outdoors, and I'm not gonna lie!
Oh Herschel, you have found your way in millions of hearts. I see you everywhere, from travellers, in movies, to students, and even yuppies on their way to work. My high school friend's wish list included a Herschel bag, which she received during her last birthday from her boyfriend!
Now Herschel releases something more feminine, but still functional!
I have to admit, a swipe of lipstick changes my whole look in an instant! It gives major boost of the self esteem, that's why I make sure I bring a tube in my bag every time I go to events. My favorite shade is dark reddish, I think it suites my skin tone and style perfectly.
This July 29, top brands like Shiseido, L'Oreal, Revlon, Maxfactore, NYX, Maybelline, Ever Bilena, BYS, and others are offering lip makeup services and discounts of up to to 50% off!
A few days ago, I was back inside Kitkat's Premier Suites in MOA Arena for Chris Brown's concert.
I am a wash-and-wear girl. I don't usually fix my hair, unless there are special occasions or formal events where I need to look extra decent. Hair bun is my go-to style, but of course I still envy the girls who give their 'do some volume. Aside from not having enough time to fix my hair on a regular basis, my commuting is really discouraging.
Till I received this special W Elite Beauty Box.
Like my thing for
wedding gowns, I don't want to go for the usual bikinis when going to the beach. Aside from building my self-esteem and still working on some body issues (huhu, but getting there!), I can't see myself in them kasi hindi ko lang din talaga siya style.
Good thing designers and retails brands are getting more and more creative. Here are swimwear alternatives you can try on your next swimming trip.
During my
family's trip to Cebu a few months ago, almost my whole high school barkada went to Palawan. I know family first, but nakaka-
FOMO (fear of missing out). I prayed I'll see El Nido this year, and just a few days ago, we were invited by The Resort Bayview El Nido to visit them.
Amen!
Bipolar outfits, haha! Rain or shine, ready to hit one of the best beaches in the world with The Clingies!
Although the blushing brides are often in tube, spaghetti, or sweetheart cut wedding dresses, I've always thought that I won't get married wearing the usual beaded, long-train gown. Let me stress that they are pretty, but something that I can't see myself in.
Husband material and emotional stability aside (lol), I started searching for wedding gowns last night. I think it's not because I want to get married na, but more of because I want to be a bridal gown designer someday! If this dream won't push through though, then here's a list for my future reference, hehehe.
I think it started when I saw Kendall Jenner in a Chanel wedding pantsuit! Spell nontraditional bride!
The hot, whole-day walks in Singapore and Malaysia made me darker. Hindi ko naman sana mapapansin, but it left an unpleasant tan line on my wrist area, where I wore my watch! When I got back in Manila, I received a box of Snow Skin Whitening Soaps from Vida Nutriscience Inc., the makers of Snowcaps L-Glutathione Whitening Supplement. Perfect timing to road test a new product's effectivity!
Ahhh... Rain! What do Roxy Girls do when they can't surf?
I am so glad that one of them is crafting! And staying-in, hehe. Definitely my thing!
Here's the perfect combination on a rainy day (like today!) - coffee, good food to match the coffee, a cozy coffee shop, friends, and conversations on dreams and throwbacks.
Cue in The Lego Movie theme song "Everything is Awesome"!
One of our ultimate game plan for this trip is Legoland Malaysia. They said that the theme park is just a bus ride away from Singapore, so we thought why not go to Singapore, Legoland, then fly to Manila via KL so we can also see the Petronas? Sobrang ambitious!
