  My mom works as a training manager to performers that will be going to Japan so it is really not a rare occurrence that I meet Japanese investors, managers and high officials almost on a daily basis.  And whenever I see them the first thing that comes to my mind is  "Why do all of them look so young?" Its really something that boggles my mind because even with only minimal make up they have this bright, radiant - almost pore-less skin that I can't help but be at awe. 

'Being Beautiful is Always an Advantage' for a woman's perspective because it shows that you take care of yourself and you want to be perceived as you want to be seen. That is what Belmere Skin Center commits to its clienteles' by offering them clinically proven treatments minus the budget blowing over board. 

Admit it - when you are depressed or just want to do something 'new' to yourself you either A.) wear a new lipstick shade or B.) get a new hair style.  I would opt for the latter because having a new hair style is like saying to the old you and Hello to a new self. Hair transformations are really a thing nowadays because our hair will just grow back eventually but of course the awe-factor it gives is just priceless.  I am really thankful that I was part of the opening of Haute Heads Salon in Megamall last week.  Located at the 5th floor of the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall, Haute heads salon offers the basic needs that are offered at a reasonable price.  From coiffure (haircut) to bands of color (ombre) this chic modern salon's goal is not to set a fad to its customers but make it a habit to go to the salon.  One of the show's highlight is an on the spot painting of a portrait of world renowned hair stylist Lourd Ramos by Ehrran Mon...

This September 26-28 the ATAT Motorcycle Club (which stands for Any Time All the Time ) will be having its first official long ride for 2014 to Baguio as they commemorate their new set of officers for 2014 to 2015 with President Charlie Carlos Ride.  ATAT was founded back in 2002 when Kiko Bernardo, Teddy Lim, and Elton Ong; three long-time friends got together after realizing their passion for motorbikes. From the group of three, they started to grow and had many impromptu rides at any given time at any moments notice thus they got the name ATAT - Any Time All the Time. Together with Alberto Matias, the group decided to name the group because in our native language if you translate the phrase it describes someone who is very eager and impatient to do something.  To be honest, I do like their name because that means that because of their passion for motorbikes they are willing to drop anything to enjoy riding in their motorbikes. As its peak ATAT has now...

WHY YOU NOT BLOG RECENTLY ALICE?!? WHY?!! - violent much? LOL  I am on the verge of dying.  Not literally of course! I don't want to do that now.  But I am seriously craving to go shopping.  I wasn't able to tell you guys that I am currently on this no-buy thing for the past few months now. If you follow me on Instagram you would see why. I have some  a ton of items to review soon which I am really excited to share to you! So no new make up hauls for about...a couple of months I think. And also I am trying to finish all of my make up this 2014. I know it is unbelievable and probably something I won't be able to achieve in 3 and a half months but still I can try right?  I am opting on buying new jeans, new dressy tops, and also more dresses. I will be buying more shoes - probably heels soon because I want to look presentable.  To those that are asking - yes I am a sneakers and flats kind of girl so stepping on some heels is...

Most Filipinas - myself included like to search about hair-related things. Most of us go to Youtube especially to get the answers.We do get results but as much as trusting international youtubers - The problem is usually they would recommend products that are not available here in the Philippines.And also with the weather and our hair type the answer we found wouldn't really solve it right? Personally I get really frustrated because when I need to get that the last possible option is to buy the item online which costs me more money and the waiting time of course.  Thankfully there is one channel now on youtube that would cater to Filipinos concern with hair problems. Wherein beauty solutions can be accessed with the corresponding products that are available in the market.  I am really honored to be part of their launch last September 18 where in they also introduced the video bloggers that would be doing the tutorials like Laureen Uy of www.breakmys...

Imagine building your own home from scratch - without any knowledge of it. To be honest, my parents did that and unfortunately there are a lot of things needed to be changed in our current house.  I don't really blame my parents with what our house looked like - They didn't do their research that well so our house came out looking really different to what I had in mind.  I don't really prefer others to get to that predicament so I suggest you get this book by John Aguilar entitled Project: First Home.  The book is a comprehensive guidebook that teacher first time Filipino home builders how to build their dream house from the ground up. It is basically everything you need to know in building your first house from scratch.  John  Aguilar is also the creator and executive producer of the Philippine's longest running real estate and construction TV show entitled Philippine Realty TV. The foreword of the book is written by renowned Archit...

link I have been seeing this post in my thread for the past  8 hours upon posting this article and might I saw that it is something everyone should be involved in.  The picture in questions is this one posted by Karen Kunawicz of a T-Shirt sold in SM Department stores that says Its not rape, its just snuggle with a struggle.  To be honest I feel appalled with this statement shirt because it sensationalizes Rape as being a normal thing to teenage boys.  TEENAGE BOYS!! I believe these shirts are part of a collection made by The Boys Night Out which have their own statement shirts that are sold at the same department stores.  In my opinion there are 2 people at fault in this - SM and BNO.  SM for approving of such statement shirt to be sold in their department store in which I believe is a store that is for everyone. And with BNO for coming up with such shirt - I know its catchy and all but guys I know you have a more mature mind...

There will be something to look forward to every Tuesday nights 9PM at RTL CBS Entertainment HD as it premiers a new series that will boggle your minds.  Based on a true story, SCORPION centers around an eccentric genius and his team of like minded prodigies. They work as a team to solve mind boggling national threats that are only under our noses.  I was able to watch this exhilarating show's pilot episode last week which is so high octane I think I need a genius to explain this further to me.  The show is about Walter O'Brien played by Elyes Gabel and his team of misfits who are real good in solving problems like he is. Another member of this team is Paige Dineen played by Katharine McPhee who has a young gifted son and she would be the one that translates the world that confounds this group that is comfortable within their bounds.  The show is really good and will leave you at the edge of your seat. So make sure to check out SCORPION t...

Ipanema opens their doors to a new branch in SM North EDSA Annex!  Being the premium Brazilian flip flop brand, Ipanema opens its fourth store at the ground floor of the SM North EDSA Annex. Thankfully I don't have to go far to buy a new pair of fashionable flip flops fit for everyday!  With their variety of designs- from simple to chic inspired by the colorful Brazilian lifestyle and the Ipanema signature of its buttery soft sole they are the perfect companion for everyday use or on our next adventure.  I was able to see them for myself and I was floored with the myriads of designs that I was opting on getting a second pair next time I visit their store!  Ipanema flip flops are available at Ipanema stores in SM City Lucena, SM Clark in Pampanga, Centrio Mall in Cagayan De Oro, Bambu, Shoe Station and leading department stores. For more information about Ipanema and their ongoing promos make sure to visit their Facebook page.  ...

Whenever I go on a new adventure or I travel I make sure to buy a new pair of flip flops so it will remind me of the memories and the adventure I had.  But if I was not able to buy a new pair of flip flops I just take TONS of selfies with my friends.  \ Just like Ipanema, being the premium Brazilian flip flop brand takes our love for selfies to the next level with #IpanemaSelfeet.  The campaign dares the young fashionistas to capture and create great memories with selfeet. To kick start the campaign Ipanema will be having a series of mall events called IpanemaSelfeet Sunday in Manila (September 21, Robinsons Ermita), Cebu (October 12, Ayala Center) and Davao (November 16, Abreeza Mall).   The mechanics are really simple - if you are at the participating mall you can just upload your photo on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #IpanemaSelfeet and present it to the participating Bambu or Ipanema store to get discounts.   That is ...

In this era, you have to act a certain way to be accepted.  You have to wear the right clothes, walk a certain way, talk a certain way and basically just be a different version of yourself.  I have been judged about being loud, being boisterous and such. I admit, if you encounter me at some events there will be a 99.5% chance you noticed me because of how loud I am. I do admit of this because it is true. But if you tell me to keep it down I wouldn't take it personally because I know that. And I am terribly sorry.   Just like that I get judged of being a less educated person - by people who haven't even met and talked to me! I was once called off if I was able to finish college with my attitude My response: I graduated college because of this attitude.  I was called off several times not just for being loud but other things as well like for one is my figure. Most beauty bloggers are expected to look all dolled up and dressed to the nines. Think...

The Philippines favorite celebrity family is back for a new season!  It Takes Gutz to be a Gutierrez is back with a new season on E!  Picking up on their first season where viewers were given uncensored access to this family where the cute Zion was introduced is back with a bigger and better season. 

I know you guys would ask me this question: I know you do!  Being a blogger for somewhat 4 years seems such a short time but I have blogging longer than that.  I have been blogging for 10 years already! I first started a personal blog then at 2010 I started doing beauty reviews for the sheer fun of it.  I wasn't in the events - I didn't even know they existed!  Nor was the free stuff because I rarely get free stuff from brands before.  But here are some 10 things you might want to know if you want to be a blogger.  1. Learn how to write.  Writing is very simple they say. But you have to make an impact if you want to be a credible blogger. Make your posts very reliable and also something the reader can really relate to. Make it coherent for the reader to easily understand. You can use highfalutin words but make sure that at the end of the post the reader gets it.  2. Be Ready to be Judged.  Its very e...

As a young girl I remember getting pains in the lower abdomen during those days that you just want to crawl under your bed covers and let the pain go away. This feeling is similar with a migraine and toothache. But of course if we can do that how about other things that we need to do during the day? Thankfully we have Dofenal for that.  Last September 10, Mefenamic Acid Dolfenal officially introduced its latest campaign #LagingGoodVibes.

In any kind of activity most people like to listen to music to keep their pace and also not feel stressed about it. I prefer listening to EDM or fast tempo Kpop songs when I blog or exercise because the  tempo pumps me up more. This October 26 one of the biggest and most sought after runs and also the most popular deodorant tied up an event that will give you beats to push us further into running with Rexona's Run to Your Beat 2014.  As taking Rexona's Do More philosophy to the next level, the event will once again challenge running enthusiasts to stretch the limits with music that will push up further while we stay fresh with Rexona.  This years event will have higher gear with stimulating visuals to match the different genres of music that will be played from the Republiq and top DJs Manila with the likes of DJ Ace Ramos, Mars Miranda, Deuce Manila, Martin Pulgar, Euric, Motherbass and MC Pao. There will be three tunnels with themes that will mak...

I remember the most painful break up I had.  It was unbearable that I forgot my whole existence and just cried.  I told myself to keep it together.  You can do this. You can move on.  That was 5 years ago.  There are still days I hear that song he dedicated to me. At first it made me froze just to hear the first few stanzas and feel that my body is slowly cracking in pieces. I shed tears and even had thoughts of what if I let him back in...which in the end never happened because I had friends to tell me that its not worth it.  This was a chapter of my life that almost destroyed me.  It was 3 months of him just being the center of my world. Then that December night I ended my misery in ending that relationship. He cheated on me - no scratch that.  I was the other woman who didn't even knew it. Its hard to swallow that. Its like a bitter pill that I had to swallow to make me feel better. At first movin...

Don't you feel stressed out when doing the laundry?  Believe it or not I am and so does my mom. The mere fact that it takes us about 3 hours to get all of the laundry done is so stressful that sometimes I prefer shipping some of my laundry to the pros to do it.  But thankfully one of the leading detergent brand - Breeze showcased its revolutionary stain -removing power with its 1 laba day.  The whole event is about washing 1 million - yes 1 Million clothes that was held simultaneously through out different barangays in the country. Mothers alike were treated to a day off from doing the laundry to enjoy the fun games and surprises that Breeze prepared for everyone.  The event was held simultaneously at Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Batangas, Cebu and Davao.  The ladies that did the laundry- the Breeze Laba ladies and also the laba machines that were sponsored by Electrolux, LG, Whirlpool and White Westinghouse took care of all the washing....
