Massimo Bonini Philipines Spring/Summer 2014 Collection Media Launch

     Another remarkable event in the fashion industry happened yesterday as Massimo Bonini formally opens its first store in the Philippines. I was very privileged and honored when they invited me as one of their guests as they unveiled their Spring/Summer 2014 Collection together with their brand ambassadors. This multi-brand luxury store brought Italy's iconic footwear, bag, and accessory brands closer to Filipino celebrities, socialites and high-end brand enthusiasts. Now that Massimo Bonini opened its flagship store here in our country, I can say there's no need to travel a thousand miles going to Italy. Invite your family and friends to visit their store at Shangri-La Plaza and see the much-awaited Spring/Summer 2014 Collection. I'll tell you now that once you step inside the store, your eyes will dazzle as you take a closer look at the exquisite designer shoes, accessories, and bags. I'll showcase some of the eye-catching designer brands and highlights of the event after the jump. Click CONTINUE READING to see more photos.

Etude House Princess Run 2014 Registration EXTENDED!!!

     This coming May, a lot of activities for mother and women will happen to celebrate Mother's Day. Different ways of celebrating this special day for mothers became a tradition that's why Filipino families do their best to make this day extra special. We celebrate mother's day with simple gathering at my parent's house. My mom will just cook our favorite food. This kind of celebration became cliche that's why when Etude House Philippines invited me to the media launch of Etude House Princess Run, the idea of simple gathering should be set aside first and try something new. Even though the actual event will happen two weeks after Mother's day, it's still a day of celebration for all the mothers and women. From the title above, I presume you already know what kind of activity I'm talking about. It's all about running! Yes, this is the very first run organized by Etude House for the benefit of YesPinoy Foundation and Lifeline Foundation Team Support Inc. Are you ready to run in pink singlet and a tutu skirt? Yes you've heard it right, running in tutu skirt! Isn't it cute?! See details about the media launch and how to join after the jump, click CONTINUE READING and don't forget to register!

Coca-Cola Spotify- Music For Your Breaktime

     Filipinos love music! If I'll make a survey about the latest music hits in our country today I'm sure the participants can name more than ten songs may it be foreign or local. Music also plays an important role in our life. It can heal a broken heart or make us feel relax after a long tiring day. I'm also a music lover but the genre that I like is not on the mainstream or the common pop-rock-rnb trio. It's bossa nova, jazz, house and electric music to name a few.

Press Release: J Spring Fashion Show on Gardens by the Bay's Skyway in Singapore

     Hello there! Sharing with you another batch of photos from the recently held J Spring Fashion Show on Gardens by the Bay's Skyway in Singapore. I've been publishing press releases from this model agency because I've seen fabulous catwalk photos from J Management. I'm a frustrated runway model that's why I enjoyed seeing photos of different models strutting the runway showcasing beautiful and intricate designs of gowns and other kinds of clothing for men and women.

     After breaking records and creating the World’s Highest Fashion Show on the Grand Canyon Skywalk in the US a mere few months ago, model turned entrepreneur Jessica Minh Anh, recently added yet another phenomenal catwalk to her extensive list of stupefying global fashion shows. This time the model’s sky high runway landed upon Asia’s latest architectural wonder, Gardens by the Bay’s OCBC Skyway, providing onlookers with more mind-blowing high fashion.

Having a sound mind and body is one of the many things that we need if we want to achieve a better body free from dreadful diseases, irreversible sickness or just the plain lethargy-ness that we feel every now and then. I know I'm not the perfect example to this so called healthy living, eating clean and living well but we are all free to start a healthy lifestyle anytime and it's not too late to start now.

     As a health conscious individual, I've learned to read labels of products that I put inside my body, I've tried at least three types or exercise routines at home and also enrolled myself at the gym and had researched more than ten supplements available in the market to help me loose weight and maintain youthful skin.

Bloggers and Media Lunch with Ms. Earth 2013 Candidates at Yoshinoya

     What is the essence of being a woman? This question has been on my mind for a very long time because of the beauty pageants that I often watched during  my high school and college days. It's nice to know that different beauty pageants here in our country became an inspiration to little girls and woman alike to build their self-esteem and intelligence. Beauty pageant title holders also became an inspiration to their nation and uplifts the spirit of every individuals. One of the prestigious pageant that I look forward to watch live on television every year is the Ms. Earth. If you're not familiar with the pageant, here's a little info about it:

The Miss Earth beauty contest is an annual pageant that focuses on environmental awareness. Started in 2001, the green-driven contest is organized by Carousel Productions, through the Miss Earth Foundation. With the theme "International Year of Water Cooperation,'' 90 candidates from around the world will compete in the 2013 Miss Earth beauty contest which will be held at the Versailles Palace in Alabang, Muntinlupa on December 7, 2013. The proclaimed winner will become the spokesperson and ambassador of the foundation, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and other groups promoting care for the environment.

This year's advocacy will focus on eco-tourism as it contributes to the country's effort to use tourism as a means to help alleviate poverty. The Miss Earth pageant will show to the world how beautiful the Philippines is. Teresa Fajksova of the Czech Republic is the reigning Miss Earth. Karla Henry is the first Miss Earth from the Philippines. The first Miss Earth was Catharina Svenson of Denmark.

Press Release: Seche Vite™ Dry Fast Top Coat Now Available in the Philippines

     Do you go gaga over chic, cute and pretty nail colors and designs? I know most of you (including me) loves to paint our nails with bright and bold colors every week or everyday, I guess?. Can you imagine your nails colorless? Well, prettifying our nails is not that easy. We need to invest in good quality nail polishes and tools because if we don't our nails will suffer from the chemicals found in cheap nail polishes sold in the market. If you're going to ask me, it's okay to buy local brand nail polishes but some of the brands that I've tried made my nails brittle and yellowish. I hate it when this happens to my nails. It looks dry and dirty.

      But if you happen to be a subscriber of nail art gurus in you tube, I'm sure you've seen and heard this brand of nail care products most especially the infamous Seche (pronounced as sesh) Vite (veet). It's now here in the Philippines brought to us by Beauty Kingdom Inc. I'll share my experience to you on what happened during their bloggers' launch but first let me give you some important notes about Seche.

     Seche, Inc. was founded in 1991 to manufacture, market and distribute the revolutionary technology that was to become Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. The intention from the very beginning was to provide this amazing technology to the professional nail technician. Seche Vite was the first patented single procedure non-yellowing dry fast top coat for nail polish that dried and protected the underlying nail polish much faster and created a more durable shield than anything on the market at the time and even to this day. It is still, after more than a decade, the finest and most highly acclaimed top coat for nail polish in the world. Seche Vite is the only truly clear non-yellowing top.
