Ethan's OOTD #3

It's been a while since I blogged about my son's OOTD. I even lost track how many I've posted in this blog as I usually dress him up, take some photos and just leave the photos to rot in my hard drive. LOL! Nah! Just kidding. I do this to document how my son is growing. You know? The kind where you'll remember great memories when you're a bit older.

So, while I was looking for some inspirations and ideas for my next blog post, I saw this old photo of Ethan last June. This is his outfit when we went to SM Megamall (Toy Kingdom in this photo, in particular) to celebrate Father's Day.

10 Celebrities Who Look Fab, Even Without Make Up

In Hollywood today, many celebrities do not feel comfortable leaving the house without make-up. After all, their image is everything. Some celebrities do, however, frequently appear in public without worrying about applying foundation, mascara and lipstick. Not surprisingly really as these women look fabulous without it.

Gwyneth Paltrow -- With or without make up, Gwyneth Paltrow is such a natural, classic beauty who dresses so beautifully. She is always one to notice when she hits the high street with nothing more on her face than moisturizer.

Getting Ready with Me and my Work Makeup Routine

Get ready with me thumbnail

We all have a different routine in the morning especially with how we do our makeup. I start my day with, of course, brushing my teeth, eating breakfast, taking a bath and, literally, preparing for work. My makeup routine varies from time to time. I don't have a regular "routine" as I do my makeup depending on what I expect from my day or if I'm feeling lazy and I don't want to put too much makeup on. Want to know how I usually do my work makeup? Check out my Get Ready with Me video below.

#MakeupTransformation

When I first saw this hashtag online, I was so clueless what's happening. I wasn't even laughing because, honestly, the first Pinoy execution I saw of this funny idea wasn't that funny at all. I was actually thinking of Promise Phan transformations. I guess that's how I know #makeuptransformation.

Then, it got into me especially upon seeing this.

Everything was so clear to me by then. It was supposed to be funny and I'm sorry if I didn't get it at first. I can't stop laughing looking at photos on Instagram with this hashtag. So, who am I not to try it? Here's my take on this whole makeup transformation thing. I actually have a lot in mind but I don't have a lot of time so enjoy these!

Top, Penshoppe | Shorts, St. Francis Square Fashion Bazaar | Cardigan, bazaar | Shoes, DC | Eyeglasses, Four Eyes | Boracay Bracelet from Kim and Dar :)

been a while! I missed you all! I have been dwelling too much on my new career. It's still digital though but from a social media expert I'm now part of the sales team. The work is pretty tiring and stressful at times (actually most of the time) but it's fun. I'm surrounded with smart and happy people. Our team's called B.A.G. by the way. And that's so me! I love bags (literally), haha!

Sharing with you one of the outfits I wore to work months ago. I actually came to work wearing my leather skirt from Dress Etc but I went shopping after work, which explains the high-waist denim shorts. Do you like it? This was the first time I wore a funky look like this. It's so street and I can't believe I can pull off a look like this. Wish I wore something like this to school when I was in college :P

Vintage is the new black

Everybody's going gaga over vintage pieces. I can't blame them and I know how it feels. I, myself, is a vintage-piece lover especially with dresses. Fashion brands nowadays are highlighting vintage dress designs from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. From rompers to tunic tops and dresses, there's an oldie but goodie touch to it.

One of my recent vintage finds is Formal Dress Australia. It's a one-stop shop for all your vintage dress needs. You can find gorgeous dresses from Formal Dress Australia for special ocassions like weddings and formal parties. Here are my favorites from their Vintage Formal Dress Collection:

Home Decor Idea #1 (Vanity Room)

vanity room home decor idea 1

I am obsessed with organizing. I would say that I'm an organizer freak and I have been rearranging our room for the past 2 or 3 weeks now. I have accumulated so much since the last quarter of 2013 and I just find the time to really dig into all my stuff and throw away junk.

I have been, in particular, inspired by a lot of home decor ideas especially in the vanity area via Pinterest. For people like me who doesn't have any background in interior design, Pinterest is a great place to get some ideas and inspirations. Here are some home decor ideas that I want to share with you all.

What's New: NYX Baked Eyeshadows


I haven't done a What's New article here in my blog for quite a while now but Injust got intrigued with the NYX Baked Eyeshadows last night and here are the things I learned:
  • It has a great color pay off.
  • You can use it wet or dry.
  • It's better to scrape off the top portion before actually getting the pigments and packing it on your lids.
  • Use it dry to get a buildable colors that you want for your eye makeup look
Watch this video with NYX Global Director of Product Development, Joyce Kim, to know more.

What's your happiness?


Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. - Wikipedia
Happiness is such a broad word and maybe something that's hard to define. The definition of happiness varies from one person to another. I recently tweeted about Pharrell Williams' "Happy" song and I just feel that it's the perfect definition of happiness. It did not give an exact and concrete definition though but the feeling that it gives you while listening to the song will definitely make you smile. I'm imagining it as a McDonald's song, if you know what I mean.
