iPhone 4

Okay! I want an iPhone too! I was talking about this last time I talked to Carla. I still need to find a way to save some moolah for this one though. I am receiving a lot of Apple updates in my inbox lately and I just want to share it to you – iPhone 4 is in the Philippines!

iPhone 4 has a “Facetime” feature for video calling. iPhone 4 has two cameras - front and back camera. To use this feature you just need to look for a contact (the one you want to video call) and tap the FaceTime button - as easy as ABC!

At last! I finished putting some watermarks to my precious shots during the Wrangler Fall/Winter 2010 Campaign: Wild at Heart Fashion Show. Of course, I won't do much of the talking right here. Enjoy the latest Wrangler collection below!

Buy Proactiv Solution and win an iPad!

By Sai

I’ve been seeing the ProActiv commercial since I was a teenager. There was a time when I also had some pimple problems every month (because of the monthly period thing). It’s not that bad but having your crush see that single pimple in your face is a no no! I tried using ProActiv Solution and I can’t believe how powerful it is.

Seeing Jessica Simpson endorse the product is a major thing! Hollywood celebrities are using it like Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne and Mandy Moore. No wonder they have that beautiful skin even without any makeup on.

Posted by Sai

An iconic denim brand – Wrangler embraced a rich heritage and has always endorsed freedom and the spirit of being yourself. This season Wrangler captures the spirit of personalization, DIY mentality and spirit of independence in the new advertising campaign.

The campaign shoot took place at an urban car yard and the gas station, which set a perfect stage to showcase the brand’s genuine identity – Wild at Heart. Wrangler couple are searching for parts for their old Chevy everywhere and after that, they bring along the parts they needed and working intensely in their workshop trying to fix the vehicle on their own.

The inspiration for the Wrangler FW2010 collection is Kustom Kulture, an American subculture from the 50s and 70s. A movement that describes the look and style of those who drove and built custom cars and motorcycles in America, the typical hair styles, turn up jeans and their customized vehicles.

Love yourself: Take fish oil every day

(Photos will be uploaded soon)

I was invited to the Blue Water Day Spa event yesterday. I got this PR from them and this is something that y'all should know. This is kinda techie (in a medical perspective) but you'll understand the benefit of the new Cenovis Fish Oil to your heart. I will post my Blue Water Day Spa Foot Massage experience soon so stay tuned. In the meanwhile, enjoy reading the article below.

Today’s fast paced living exacts a heavy toll on the body. As we strive to keep up with life’s daily grind, we often do not have enough time to prepare healthy meals, which consequently causes our health to suffer.

Sam and Mikaela, new endorsers of Blue Water Day Spa

Sai Sayson and Sam Milby at the Blue Water Day Spa

I am one of the privileged people from the media to cover this event. Aside from the fact that my crush, Sam Milby, is Blue Water Day Spa’s newest endorser, I am really interested in attending events about health and wellness.

It is very evident that health and wellness is a booming market both locally and internationally and there’s actually a science behind it. People nowadays are getting more and more conscious on how they look and if they are aging in a very young way (okay, that’s odd). Beauty spas are very in as well as body and other kinds of spas.

Dream Home, take me home!

By Sai

I got invited in Dream Home’s blogger event last August 26, 2010 and I actually learned a lot from the event. I attended this event because The Fashionista is not just a beauty or makeup blog, it’s actually a lifestyle blog – just an FYI. This event is perfect because since I’m an OC person, I want my bedroom to look clean, pleasing and in order.

One thing that I learned in this event is how to match colors in your room. If you’re buying a new bed sheet at SM department stores or SM Hypermart branches, you might be thinking of the right bed sheet color that will match the color of your room. Now here’s a tip I learned.

Can you see the color wheel below?

Vaseline Lotion Gift Pack

By Sai

I was surprised when a Vaseline gift pack arrived at my door step few weeks ago. Because I was drunk from a party the other night I was really sleeping like Sleeping Beauty that day. A yell made me bring my ass down to our main door. There was a man looking for Jaylyn (Kuya, you’re pronouncing my complex name in the wrong way).

The Real Deal on alleged “SM Price Cheating”

By Sai

I am a certified and loyal SM buyer and I was really surprised when I read something online about how SM manipulates their prices. There were emails being forwarded to different email groups, blog posts about the forwarded email and private messages in online groups that tackles the alleged price manipulation in certain SM establishments.

I’ve worked in a fashion retail store before and it gives me a background of possible things that could have happened in this price discrepancy issue. I believe this is not intentional. In my own opinion, people should always think about this: Computers can, sometimes, fail us.

HOUSE-ppily ever after at Avida

By Sai

The Magnos at their Avida Home

Do you believe in happily ever after? I do. It’s been in my blood since I saw my first Disney film where princesses are rescued by a charming prince and they lived happily ever after. Now that I’m a young lady sometimes I ask myself, “Is there really something that’s worth all the happiness all your life?”

Happily ever after for me is something tangible. Love can be one but I define this cliché as my OWN house. I found out about the Magnos and we all have the same thing in mind. For this retired couple it’s not just a house, not just even a home but a home where they can live life fully in a relaxing and stress-free environment. They are looking for a house where they can still enjoy their passions while enjoying the amenities of modern living.

The Magnos lived in the USA for a long time before they finally decided to stay in the Philippines for good. There’s definitely no place like home!

Ocean Minded sandals mind the environment and your pocket

By Sai

After World War 2, we've literally polluted the Earth. Gen X people are not that conscious as we, Gen Y people, are when it comes to conserving our environment. Environment-friendly products are pretty much everywhere and brands are now recognizing and integrating this pro-environment advocacy in their products or services.

One of these socially responsible companies or brands is Ocean Minded. Ocean Minded was founded as a sandal brand in 1996 by Gary Ward, and built on the principles of protecting our beaches, the environment, and an overall love of life. It utilizes recycled and sustainable materials in its products, whenever possible. Their product line is basically for people who loves to go to the beach or for those who literally lives near the beach (imagine how wonderful that kind of life is). Products are targeted to those who seek high-quality fashion sandals with an emphasis on style and comfort.

Fashion for less: The Gladiator Sandals

By Sai

The gladiator sandals are the new “IT” thing! You can see almost everyone (ladies of course) wearing them. The gladiator sandals have been around before Caesar was even born. It’s the shoes of gladiators and warriors. Tough men wore them in the battle field to conquer lands. Though its origin is very manly, gladiator sandals are now worn by women. Guys nowadays usually wear their sneakers or their Converse shoes.

So, because it’s very comfy and looks good with a pair of shorts of skirt I decided to buy one for myself. Of course, I wanted to feature something that will fit your budget and at the same time comfy and fashionable. Where do you find fashionable shoes for less? Nowhere but Market! Market!

There are hundreds of gladiator shoes in the Fashion Market and my eyes are pretty much overwhelmed. I found these gladiator shoes and I had no second thoughts – I MUST BUY IT!

My bohemian inspired gladiator sandals! Fabulous!
