I am so delighted and excited that I was one of the chosen Butter Girls here in Cebu! Yey! But that story will have to wait, when I have decent pictures already chronicling how well they pampered me in the salon AGAIN. You see, I’ve long used Instagram however just recently did I find out that there’s a whole IG community out there. So, consider me a newbie. Having said that (yes, it’s connected), I have been forgetting my camera and have been relying on my phone explaining the lack …

If the young group behind Blanc cannot be considered VERY, VERY talented then I do not know what can be. They once dreamed of being in the cover of a magazine and they thought “why not create one?”. Viola! Blanc Magazine Online was conceived. According to Matt Aesthetics, who have resigned himself to a whole lot of sleep and rest, it wasn’t easy as they have been working on their first issue for months now. But young talents of their caliber sure make it look like a piece of cake …

I looked around the room and saw a room full of girls in different shades of lipsticks, in well-drawn brows and well-contoured cheeks. However, I did not see girls who are consumed with vanity, rather, I saw girls who know how to take care of themselves. I saw empowered women who knows how important it is to look presentable and beautiful. I saw a girl wearing the brightest shade of red lipstick and I saw confidence. I spotted a lady in plum lipstick and I saw boldness. Make-up should not …

I am not a bag person, or so I thought.  Moving to a new place proved me wrong.
As I was clearing my decks of earthly possessions (a.k.a happiness), it came as a big surprise to me that I have a considerable number of bags. It sure looks few and far between when not in a pile. And because a garage sale was in order I was able to put up for sale those that I haven’t used for a long time. Nonetheless, despite giving up almost half of the stockpile, I …

Alcohol is packed like sardines in my dad’s mini bar in our old house. Come his birthday, he’d get tons of gift most of which comes in ribboned bottles or boxes that can put beautiful gift wrappers to shame. Back in highschool, beset with a petty heartbreak (also known as my-world-is-ending-take-me-now-my-crush-did-not-notice-me pickle or as our parents call it – “HAHAHAHAHA”) coupled with my running amok curiosity- I gave in, I tried, I tasted. And I. Did. Not. Like. It. One. Bit. After much choking and some self-imposed vomiting I vowed …

The Yuletide season sure is fast-approaching! I can clearly remember that growing up, my sister and I eagerly waited for the BER months and one of the many, many reasons — sky-is-the-limit shopping! My dad will let us shop to our heart’s content as an early Christmas treat. Well, at least that was when we were teens already, as before that, my mom dressed us up in matching outfits from head to toe and we were even made to sport matching hairstyles! How I miss! And now, all grown up …

When Kwey, a friend from Ateneo, asked for my help in inviting Cebuano bloggers for a blogger’s Spa Hangout in Beauty and Butter, a newly opened nail spa/salon in SM, I was excited and hesitant at the same time. Excited because, well, who wouldn’t be if you were offered free pampering? Hesitant because I do not know many bloggers from Cebu. However, I brushed off any nib of reluctance and invite Cebuano bloggers I did. To my delight, in spite of the short notice, they all promptly replied and were …
