Beside U Bag- The Perfect Companion By Your Side

     This pandemic has changed our lives in many ways. We learned the value of cleanliness because now more than ever, hand washing became a habit. Even if we think our hands are clean, there's an urge to wash it with soap and water right away when it touches any surface. Speaking of adapting to changes, I also change the way how I bring my essentials. My motto now is the lesser, the smarter. The functional, the better. This implies how I carry my essentials most importantly my bag. 

     Since I only go out for errands or when there's an important matter to do, I need a bag that is lightweight, sturdy, easy to clean, and functional. If it's stylish, why not that's already a bonus. Looks like I've hit the jackpot when I saw the perfect errand bag from Beside U Bags Philippines. Know more about the features of their bags, and why I highly recommend this brand below.

     Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."- Steve Jobs. In this difficult time, let’s live life to the fullest. Be grateful, choose kindness, forgive, and forget. It’s already a blessing to wake up each morning so don’t complicate things, live a healthy and happy life, as simple as that. Just like this Nordgreen Native Black Dial Watch in Gold, Danish design by Jacob Wagner.⁣

     I love the simple, sophisticated style and subtle detailing of this model. It’s my kind of watch, a classic timepiece that will never go out of style.⁣ That's why when Nordgreen Watches told me that they are going to send a watch for me to check out and review, I immediately said yes though I have doubts on shipment because of the current situation, I was surprised that it was delivered straight to my doorstep.

Feature: I Am Band Bracelet

     Stress, anxiety, confusion, fear, and heartaches best described my mental state when the year 2020 started. From a non-stop trip to the emergency room and a handful of confinements at the hospital last year up to my father’s demise last February, all these negative feelings have piled up from one unfortunate event to another.⁣ My family and my Yoga practice are my sources of strength but there were times that I still feel sad and negative thoughts start to swirl on my mind again. I need to establish the right intentions that can help me stay positive and optimistic in this difficult time.

     Two weeks ago, I received The I Am Band Bracelet- a remedy that works to beat anxiety, hexes, haters and more. My husband and I believe that we are part of the universe and the energies (positive or negative) greatly affect our behavior and way of life. Speaking of energy, we need to block the negative and enhance the positive one by praying and wearing spiritual accessories for protection and guidance. Sharing more of my I Am Band Bracelet experience below.

Finding the Best Dress for a Filipino Summer

     The idea of dressing up for the summer is always exciting. The season calls for experimentation, allowing you to be adventurous with the clothes and accessories you wear, from your choice of scrunchie, all the way down to your flip-flops. In Western countries, dressing up for the summer means doing away with your chunky sweaters and thick leggings and opting for clothing pieces in brighter colors and fun prints. But in tropical countries like the Philippines, wearing summer-appropriate clothing can be tricky as you have to deal with humid weather. While it's always nice to be as stylish as possible, you also don't want to wear layers to avoid getting uncomfortable.

     So what has one got to do to remain breezy and trendy at the same time? Wearing a dress, of course! Dresses have always been known as one-trick wonders that style themselves. And when it comes to picking dresses best suited for the Philippine weather, you may want to consider a couple of factors. The rise in temperature shouldn't be an excuse to lay low on your sartorial standards, but you also don't want to wear a dress that will put a damper on your comfort. Here is a list of things you may want to consider when shopping for summer dresses.

AVON Fashions Free As A Butterfly Watch

     "Spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you have become a butterfly". Mariah Carey's song "Butterfly" is all about freedom and every woman deserves to live freely yet many face the realities of abuse. AVON is continuing its mission to help end violence against women and girls with its latest addition to the Free as a Butterfly collection, a special butterfly watch.

     I support this advocacy of AVON. Violence against women and children is a big NO. In line with the company for women's #Stand4Her campaign, the watch raises funds to help female victims of abuse. As an advocate for women's freedom to live a safe and healthy life, AVON is taking concrete measures to address the issue of abuse, which continues to hold many women back from achieving their full potential.

The premium brand of intimate apparel that has been uplifting women for the past 3 decades will be holding two major events to feature the milestones of the company. If you're a long-time reader of this blog, prolly you've seen our epic Wacoal Passion for Product Tour in Kyoto, Japan last March 2018.

Philippine Wacoal Corporation president Ann Christine Palisoc said that the brand was driven by a powerful mission: to contribute to the Filipinas by helping them realize and express their desire to be beautiful. I agree that from the products they offer, to the advocacies they promote, the brand guarantees that every single Filipina realizes their beauty and worth.
