It’s like walking on sunshine after a foot spa session at Beauty and Butter. Your legs are glowing, skin is soft, plus soles are smooth and callus free! Wouldn’t it be great if we can have that fresh post foot spa feeling every day? Daily visits to Beauty & Butter might be a tad too much but you can always bring home some foot spa love in a jar with Heel The World foot cream! The essential oils from grape seed and tea tree infused into the cream help prolong the softness and smoothness. Simply apply a generous amount on your footsies and cover with socks prior to going to bed.  You’ll wake up with feet so soft and smooth, it’s like you just stepped out of Beauty & Butter.

Learn Fashion Styling at Raffles Design Institute, Manila


The booming field of visual media opens up career opportunities to people with an eye for style and a flair for trends. The outfits that top the best-dressed list on the red carpet, or make it to the pages of the top fashion magazines are all to the credit of a good fashion stylist whose job entails more than just picking out designer clothing.

After the successful pioneer run of his fashion styling workshops, celebrity fashion stylist Eric Poliquit, in collaboration with Raffles Design Institute, Manila (RDIM), will hold regular workshops at RDIM’s trendy Bonifacio Global City Campus this July.

RDIM is an international design school offering courses in fashion design, fashion marketing and management, graphic design (visual communication), and interior design.

“The workshop covers the fundamentals and allows students to explore fashion styling for different genres and media platforms,” states Poliquit, who has styled for top fashion brands and celebrities such as Angel Locsin, Marian Rivera, Solenn Heussaff, and James Yap.
Students will also undergo hands-on training and actual photo shoots with professional models, photographers, and hair and makeup teams. To help jumpstart the students’ exciting career in fashion, students will be equipped with high resolution, ready-to-print pictures to build their own professional portfolio by the end of the workshop.

With classes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Monday class will run from July 9, 16, 23, 30 and August 6 and 25, while the Wednesday class will run from July 11, 18, 25, August 1, 8 and 25. With a fee of Php 10,000, only 6 students per class will be accommodated.

Beauty & Butter

After a tiring work day, it is only fair to treat yourself to a much deserved nail pampering session--and that's what I did. After a long tiring day of pullouts, I decided to drop by the hip nail salon Beauty & Butter, Megamall last week after receiving an invite from their Marketing Manager, Kwey! It was my first time and it would definitely not be my last! :)

located at the 5th floor. It's at the far end. They relocated:)

nail art for everyone! you can also come up with your own:)

love the interiors and the new set-up:)

for sale;)

i'm still a little hesitant to try nail art so Kwey showed me this instead--their new line from Orly!

They use Gel polish for nail art

love the murals!

I was given an Ipad to play with while waiting!:) Sushal.

thanks ate for taking care of my nails!:)

i think this is Orly's sea gull

they have a nice and extensive selection of colors!

Sparitual optical illusion. Love this!!!

nail dryer to speed up the drying process

Thanks Beauty & Butter for the wonderful experience!

The reason why I've never tried B&B was because of my notion that their services are pricey. But to my surprise, they're actually affordable!:) A mani/pedi set is just P350:)

they offer nail services, waxing, massages, scrubs:)

It has been more than  a week and my nails are still nice. There are tiny tiny chippings but only the tips (inevitable). I can't wait to go back! I can even try their known nail art service next time. :)

2.) MEGA: Fashion Statements for the Changing Weathers of the Philippines


Two challenges are done with only 13 aspiring designers making it through the last cuts. Five designers were already eliminated as the challenges in MEGA’s Young Designers Competition (YDC) 2012 heat up. In a surprising twist, three designers were sent home during the last challenge since they failed to show a fashion forecast fit for 2012.


 

The weather of the country urges fashionistas to be more practical with their choice of clothes. From the “Proud to Be Me” and the “Fashion Forecast” challenge, the remaining designers will showcase pieces that can be worn for both the dry and wet season of the Philippines. Midway through the competition, who has survived?



As they unveil their versatile outfits, the designers are aware that getting the fashion council’s nod has already become harder. Every detail will be scrutinized and three designers will once again be out of the competition.

Will the top designers continue to succeed? Or will the other designers be given the opportunity to shine?

 

Keep watching the MEGA Young Designers Competition 2012 every Saturday, 7 pm on ETC, with replays every Sunday at 10 am.

www.Megastyle.ph brings something new and interactive for all YDC fans. Show your support by voting for your favorite YDC designers through the online poll.

4.) Coca Cola: Happiness Strikes Again! (such a heartwarming video)


Lolo Mario’s journey is the journey of every Filipino. It mirrors our unwavering pursuit for true joy shared with no less than the people we cherish the most. It is a testament to our commitment to always rise above life’s hurdles and walk on with an optimistic heart.

And through all these, throughout the last 100 years, there is the refreshing fuel that uplifts our body and spirit, Coca-Cola. Not only has it stood witness to every generation’s unique way of finding happiness in the face of insurmountable challenges, the Filipinos have also chosen it and made it an important part of every mealtime, every home, every occasion, and yes, amazingly, everyday. Truly, there is a heartfelt story of happiness that lies within each of us. And on its 100th year, Coca-Cola couldn’t be any more grateful.

Through Lolo Mario’s introspective story of a magical encounter between two generations divided by 100 long years, Coca-Cola celebrates a life that looks back at the past and looks ahead to a future that holds so much promise of happiness. For after all, in Lolo Mario’s own words: Pinanganak ka para maging maligaya. (Happiness is our birthright.) Coca-Cola. Salamat sa 100 Taon ng Saya. Ituloy ang Happiness!
