It’s the love month and hearts are all over the world!! Aside from feeling beautiful, you should definitely look beautiful and the first step for that is enhancing our very own crowning glory. L’Oreal Professionel recently launched a new service set of cut, color and style that allows us, Filipinas and Asians achieve a V-shaped face.



From the runways of Paris to the urban streets of Korea, L’Oréal Professionnel unleashes a cross-over hair beauty and fashion trend with the newest V Look: voluminous, airy, and tousled waves perfected with a golden glow. Updated with the latest color trends from the beauty and fashion capitals of the world, this season’s V-Look features a face-slimming, side-swept fringe with tousled waves styled with new multi-highlights technique to ultimately boost facial radiance.



The new multi-highlights contouring technique uses multiple thin highlights to boost radiance, strategically placing them on areas to help brighten up and accentuate facial features. Inspired by the golden glowing colors worn by Korean celebrities who have gone lighter and lighter with warm honey golden or cool bronze golden tones – gold is truly the perfect match to elucidate any skin tone. 

The V Look hair service covers a consultation, face-slimming cut, skin tone-flattering color, now with optional signature perm technique to complete the service. Whether you have a round, square, or triangular-shaped face, by using precision haircut, color and perm procedures, the V Look hair service is perfectly complemented by superior color and care using L’Oreal Majirel. 


Easy, tousled waves and sexier color?  Achieve your very own V Look this Valentine’s Day by asking your L’Oréal Professionnel hair dresser. V Look is available this whole month of February in all Jesi Mendez Salons in Metro Manila.

Basic Style Hacks

In following the drift of fashion, we can already find the trendy pieces of the moment in almost every store out there. But let’s face the reality, we can’t really procure style. It’s something that inventive and fashionable minds put up together, not like a pair of clothing that we plainly wear. It’s free.


And here, I will share with you guys few of the hacks that I’ve learned throughout styling. Something you could do to upgrade the basic pieces that you almost certainly have in your closet.

ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES
This is probably the easiest way to spice up your tedious long sleeves button-down.


CUFF YOUR JEANS
Wearing jeans can sometimes make us doubt in wearing our favorite killer heels. A single or double roll works with either a skinny or boyfriend jeans.


DRAPE THAT JACKET
This is what I constantly do when I feel like a little under-dressed. Nothing makes a denim jacket classier than draping it over your shoulder.


KNOT IT 
Define your curves by upgrading your button down or any shirt into a cropped pinup piece.


 HALF-TUCK IT
This adds more statement that tucking your whole shirt.


Perhaps, you already know about these simple hacks, but why not try it this time? Aside from adding some character, it shows how modishly creative we could be by using simple pieces in an unusual and diverse way.

Gaining weight is one of the key problems that I faced last 2015 and this year, I promised myself that I’ll do everything I can to get back on track and redeem my 26-inch waistline. Starting with healthy diet, cutting off fast food, habitual exercise and this one secret that I discovered for me to be able to wear clothes in sizes XS and Small again. Curious about it?


And here they are!!

Waist Training Clinchers/ Corsets—The first time that I heard about this is through Kim Kardashian, yes, she posted a selfie wearing these corsets on Instagram and since then I became curious if they were efficient.


Let me share with you two of the waist trainers that I used from Partygal Philippines.

First is the Steel Clincher that I used everyday for one week. This can be worn under your clothing and it’s made of soft garterized polyester. I used this for one week, at least 6 hours in a day, and lost half an inch. I’m really pleased with the result, I wonder how much I’ll lose if I’ll continue using it with minimal exercise like walking.


The other one that I tried is the Latex Exercise Vest, also for one week.  It targets the back, torso and an abdomen area for this one’s designed for merely exercising. This vest is made with 100% latex so you could burn more and release sweat while in the gym, lifting weights and doing physical exercises. I used this thrice in a span of one week for light exercises and lost half an inch as well.


So there you go! That’s just a swift review of the slimming corsets and waist trainers that I got from Partygal Philippines. Watch out for my next posts as I continually use these while getting ready for summer! J

How to be a #SelfieExpert

I have a confession- it takes roughly a hundred attempts for me to post a particular selfie on my Instagram. As someone living in a selfie generation wherein the word itself has already been added to the dictionary, there must be really something in our blood that considers selfie as a part of our daily lives. Okay I know most of us go through that process of taking a number of photos before finding the perfect one, so now after years of practice *kidding!*, I’m here to share five useful tips in taking that ideal selfie.



First things first: Find a spot with fine lighting that could make your skin look flawless. 

 I have a preference of taking my selfies with natural light so the best place would be in the front seat of your car or near the window. Also deem the golden hour, that’s before sunset. What if it’s too late to catch the sunlight? I think it’s best to dab a little highlighter above your cheeks and nose line. Instant beauty trick!


Learn your angle.

 Tilt your head a little bit to your 1 o’clock, if you already got used to your usual angle, the succeeding selfies won’t give you a hard time anymore.


Make it interesting, take selfies with a plain or appealing background. 

It may be on a corner of your room or with a beautiful skyline behind you. If it wouldn’t be that interesting, it should be something simple or plain.


Use the perfect filter and adjust the preferences.

VSCO: This is my favorite app when it comes applying filters and for selfies, I use the following filters: A6, S2 and SE3.
Snapseed: I use this app to adjust brightness, contrast and sharpen the photo.

Just a reminder, do not complicate the filters, make minimal adjustments if possible.


Invest on a smartphone with a good front camera.

 I recommend OPPO F1 Selfie Expert because one of its best features is its camera. Take clearer selfies with its 8-megapixel camera, wide f/2.0 aperture lens and you can also improve your look with the Beauty 3.0 feature. Worry no more when you feel like taking a selfie without enough lighting for it has a screen flash that has a vigilantly adjusted brightness level.

Some of the feature that makes me fall for OPPO F1 are:
It has a premium metallic body.
 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 protected display
Scratch resistant.
 Qualcomm Snapdragon Octa-core 64-bit processor and 3GB RAM.
Micro-arc Frame for premium handling experience.


So there you go! Five easy steps to take the perfect selfie.

Say Goodbye To Your Hangry Moments With Kanguru

Getting hungry + angry is one of the worst moments I've ever been to, and I'm pretty sure everyone can relate with that. Take this scenario… You're in the office but you're too busy to take a break or you want to cook something fancy for dinner but cooking isn't one of your hundred talents. Don't you worry because Kanguru App has got you covered!

Feast on restaurant qualities in the comfort of your own home! No parking traffic and parking hassles because with just one app, your favorite dish will be right at your doorstep within an hour!

So… I saw this photo online.


Then suddenly I craved for Yugoslavian cuisine but I'm in my pajamas :( Right then I decided to try Kanguru and ordered Chicken Batak and tried the other meals. 53 minutes later, Kanguru texted me that my orders are near the location and when I opened the door… Hi Kuya!




They have put together a long list of the metro’s best restaurants and the list just keeps growing. Our favorite dishes are now just a hop away keeping us updated every step of the way because we know how maddening it can be to have no idea what is happening with our foo, right? Is it on it’s way yet? Was the order even placed? With Kanguru, we’ll never have to go through that pain again.


Few of my favorites are the burgers from Lazy Bastard and Joe's Meat Shack.

More info about Kanguru:

Wondering how much our delivery fee is?  
For any order under Php 1000, Kanguru charges a delivery fee of only Php 79! Extra hungry tonight and ordered enough to feed a family? Have no fear, any order over Php 1000, and Kanguru charges a flat rate of only Php 99! 
Using the app and not sure which restaurants you can see on your choice list? 
The Kanguru app shows you restaurants within a 5km radius of your location. Just to make sure you get your food delivered fresh - within an hour!

Within an hour?
Yup! You got it! Kanguru promises to deliver your hunger cravings within an hour or less, ensuring you don’t ever go hangry!

Craving for something thats a bit of a stretch from your 5km radius? 
Not to worry! Cross city delivery orders are also allowed! Just take note of the possible additional delivery time it may take to cross cities. 

Ordered on the app, but not sure how you will get notified on your order updates?
The Kanguru app allows you to receive push notifications on your smart phone for your order status. Not to mention, getting update text messages from our very own Kanguru call centre.

Craving 3 different things at a time?
Kanguru, not only satisfies your cravings by taking them straight to your doorstep, it also allows you to order from multiple restaurants at the same time! But take note, that you will need to create separate orders to do so. 

Not hungry now, but sure you’ll be hungry later? 
Avoid being hangry and place orders in advance! Yes, you read that right! Order your dinner meal in advance by selecting the "later" option and then plugging in the date and time you want your food to be delivered.

Guide for Huqiu Wedding Dress Market

Huqiu, also known as Tiger Hill, is the largest wedding dress markets of China. Tens of thousands of wholesalers come here to wholesale wedding dresses every year. Suzhou and Guangzhou are the largest wedding dress bases of China, and Suzhou Huqiu is the largest wedding dress wholesaling center in China. The number of wedding dress shop in Huqiu Wedding Dress Street can be up to more than six hundred, and the number of medium and small-sized factories is more than 1000 in total.


There are two places that you cannot miss when purchasing wedding dresses in Suzhou. They are Huqiu Wedding Dress Street and Huqiu Bridal City.

Huqiu Wedding Dress Street is the oldest wedding dress place and has more wedding dress shops as well. Buyers who have even been Suzhou are familiar with here. There are more than 600 shops in Huqiu Wedding Dress Street with various wedding dresses to be sold, no matter the popular western wedding dress or Chinese local wedding dress—Qipao and Xiuhe Dress. Compared to Huqiu Bridal City, Huqiu Wedding Dress Street is busier, and there are many brides-to-be come here seeking for their gowns. The price can be varied widely for different wedding dresses here, and the price gap between big shops and small shops sometimes can be rather deep. Of course, the quality and material are different too.

What’s more, what you need to take in mind is that Huqiu Wedding Dress Street is very large and there are no western food restaurants. You’d better take along some food to fuel energy, such as chocolate. Picture taking is prohibited in most shops unless you get the owner’s permission in advance.

Huqiu Bridal City was built in 2013. There are more than 300 stores settled here until 2016. Although the number is far less than the Huqiu Wedding Dress Street, the environment of Huqiu Bridal City is better and supplies western food. The overall strength of Huqiu Bridal City is much stronger, but the price here is relatively higher, too. If you want to have a partner with strong comprehensive strength, you can take it into consideration first, for it’s already screen out some good wedding shops. Among these shops, many have their own wedding dress factories. If you want to find a long-term cooperation supplier, you’d better to have a visit at their factory. Many factories’ working environment is not good.

Instagram 101: Polaroid Effect

Finally after receiving comments, tweets and e-mails about how I edit these photos that I've been posting recently and getting tons of "what app" questions, I will share with you guys the step by step process on how I make my Polaroid with Text posts. I'll just make this post simple because I basically use four apps to achieve this.


First, I edit the photo/s that I will use through VSCO app.
My favorite filters are 04, A6, J3, HB2 and SE3 depending on the photo.


Next, for the polaroid framing I use AFTERLIGHT.
Though the app and the frame isn't free, you can use INSTANTS as an alternative.


Next, look for handwritten quotes on PINTEREST and save it.
(Yes, I don't write them and I do not use text overlay apps most of the time.)
NOTE: Make sure that the background of the text is plain white.

Next app, PICSART. Now this is the most complicated part.
But it's still easy!

1. Choose DRAW then select BLANK.
2. Select the canvas size. It may be square, landscape or portrait.
3. On the upper right, click DONE then EDIT IMAGE.

4. Choose ADD IMAGE.
5. Select the polaroid images you edited  + the quote photo.
6. Arrange the photos depending on your preference. 


Last but not the least, select the text, click the NORMAL dropdown options.
Then select MULTIPLY.
That makes the background disappear ;)
Crop the image, then voila! Here's the finished product :)

Hope this helped! Tag me when you made one! :)

Few days ago, I attended the block screening of Batman vs Superman at BGC Uptown Mall that's brought to us by Glutamax. I'm not really a DC fan but this film has become one of their best, for me.



But, as a non-geek viewer of this film, no spoilers- I totally loved the last part and it made up with the boring first few i minutes :D


Food and drinks were served before the screening.


They also gave away Glutamax products, television set and Meister watch! Lucky you guys!

Sharing with you my favorites from their wide selection of whitening products.

Summer has officially arrived (in terms of the season) and yet, mine started when 2016 arrived. Listing down the places that I have visited this year- from Baguio, Bohol, Baler and some places near the Metro like Pampanga and Nueva Ecija. Indeed I've started summer a bit earlier than the rest.
