#GoWireless with BASEUS Chargers & Power Banks

Last August 29 at Le Petit Souffle Century Mall, BASEUS launched the newest addition to their already long list of amazingly innovative products-- the #GOWIRELESS line!!! Baseus, a 3C digital accessories brands under Shenzhen Times Innovation Technology Co., got their name from the term “Based on Users”, with all their products created with the needs of its users in mind. I'll admit, when I got the launch invite, I had no idea about the brand or the products they offer. I assumed that they will be launching ordinary power banks which I thought was nothing special. But boy, was I wrong!!! They were the coolest chargers I have ever seen. Read on to know more...

James Reid is Mountain Dew's Newest #DewIdol

There are only a handful of celebrities I publicly admire and have major crushes  on (alam ng jowa ko to don't worry haha) and on top of my list is none other than JAMES REID!!! Because seriously who wouldn't? He's gorgeous, super cool, a thrill-seeker, a certified adventurer and did you know that he's also a gymnast and a swimmer?! Grabeee. And adding to his long list of accomplishments, he was recently named as Mountain Dew's newest endorser or #DewIdol! Here are snaps from the launch... 

Kevler Launches Home Products

I cannot start or finish my day without listening to my favorite music or watching my favorite series-- it's just part of my everyday routine! And since I'm a little deaf (must be a result of my addiction to metallic rock in high school haha) I am very particular when it comes to sound quality. That's why I'm so happy when I got an invite to Kevler's home system launch last week! I know the brand as one of the best when it comes to sound equipment for big events, now they just launched smaller items that's perfect to use at home! Here are photos from the launch...

 Can't believe that this amazing speaker is just P1,599!!! Such a steal!!!

My Year with Uber

I'd be totally honest, I can't live without Uber. I'm sure I share the same sentiment with thousands of Filipino riders around the metro who rely/relied on the app to get them to places. I think it is one of the best things that ever happened to this country. Ever since it was launched, it has helped and saved my life countless of times. I made it to hundreds of meetings, events, family gatherings, survived styling gigs, survived my Dad's hospital days, booked trips for my family and many more because of Uber. I love how it's efficient, convenient and safe. Just what a commuters life or our daily lives should be. Agree? 
This 2017, we’ve seen a lot of new and incredible connections made and special moments experienced as we took on the cities’ roads, meeting all kinds of folks along the way. As a remarkable year comes to a close, Uber has a special year-end treat for you!!!

Photodiary: H&M Gateway Mall Opening

Here's something that definitely made my year! The fashion gods just gave us earthlings an early Christmas present and it's wrapped in that glorious, red, 3-character signage. I'm happy to announce that H&M Gateway Mall, Araneta Center is now officially open! Hallelujah! :) Here are photos from the launch which happened last November 12...

Food Trip: Four Seasons Buffet & Hotpot in Cubao

When I got invited to try out and dine in the newest hot spot in Cubao (my town yeeeah), I immediately said yes! I could never say no to great food. Anyway, this new food haven would easily be the new favorite of soup addicts, and food addicts in general, because of their amazing hotpot and buffet selection. Ladies and gents, say hello to Four Seasons!

Create Your Own Story with F&C Jewelry

All that glitters may not be silver, gold nor diamonds, but the best memories. It might be the first pair of diamond earrings on your 18th birthday, the gem stone ring you gifted yourself as a reward for working too hard, seeing the smile in your mom's eyes when you gave her that beautiful necklace, or the dazzling engagement ring from the love of your life. The most valuable pieces of jewelry could not be measured by its carats, gems or design, what makes a piece truly remarkable are the beautiful memories and emotions that add brilliance to it. Agree?:) 

This appreciation of journeys and milestones makes the extraordinary legacy of F&C (Florete & Caperonce) Jewelry, one of the oldest and right now the biggest fine jewelry retailer in the country with more than fifty stores nationwide. Here are some photos from the launch:)

I'm engaged! To myself. Hahaha. This ring retails for P30K+:)

Uniqlo x Lemaire

When it comes to clothing brands that could stand the test of time and the ever changing trends, Uniqlo reigns supreme. Plus, they always offer classy yet stylish winter wear and high-quality basics! This holiday season, prepare to feast your eyes (and wallets) on their latest winning collaborations. A few weeks ago, I attended the launch of one of their hottest collection at the Mega Fashion Hall and it was awesome. Without further ado, I present to you, photos from the Uniqlo x Lemaire launch!:)

SM Beauty Lipstick Fest

Hope you all got your lipstick fix last July 29, also known as International Lipstick Day! There were tons of brands that were on super sale and I'm so happy that I didn't totally miss the fun! I was able to get my hands on Happy Skin's Preview set c/o Trice and I love, love, love it. Anyway, here's what happened during SM Beauty's Lipstick Fest launch last July 22, as well as an exciting announcement! :)

Get Crafty with ROXY

I love Roxy. I love how this brand celebrate women-- their crafts, freedom, confidence and their drive to be the best version of themselves. Roxy is not just for surfers (contrary to popular belief and as debunked by Roxy's brand manager Chinky), it is for every girl who dreams, who dares and knows how to have fun in the process. Two weeks ago, Roxy conducted a craft workshop c/o Craft Manila at Greenbelt 5's activity area titled, "Get Crafty" and here's what happened through photos!:)

Pizza Party at Yellow Cab Visayas Ave

Last May, I attended a super fun pizza party with close blog friends and readers at Yellow Cab, Visayas Avenue. It was such an awesome afternoon filled with laughter, smiles, stories, friends and of course, delicious food!!! Yellow Cab has always been my go-to comfort food. Whenever I feel like rewarding myself or when I feel like pigging out (while watching my favorite TV series), I order my favorite Yellow Cab meal-- Dear Darla, Hot Wings with extra sour cream, Baked Potato Halves (or Charlie Chan pasta), Raspberry Sola and Dark Chocolate ice cream. I know. Lakas maka last supper noh? Haha! Anyway, here's what transpired that day through photos!

#CelebrateWithTBS: Happy 19th Anniversary The Body Shop!

British skincare brand (now you know!) The Body Shop turned 19 this year and they celebrated it by giving their loyal customers the sweetest deals ever! Sale ended last June 3 but you might just catch new sale items, so don't forget to drop by the nearest The Body Shop store! Here are some photos from my TBS visit last month with some blogger loves!:)

Get Moisture that Lasts with OLAY!

We often neglect our skin especially when we are always on the go or have a million things to do. I admit, I too am guilty of this sometimes. But as much as possible, I make sure I apply lotion before I leave the house because I have atopic dermatitis and my skin dries 3x faster than normal people. I get super conscious whenever I forget to moisturize because my skin ends up flaky & dry you could even use it to write notes using your nails! Haha. I am so glad I finally found my skin’s perfect match! I don’t think I would ever stop using lotion, but at least I won’t die of worry anymore whenever I forget. Guys, I want you to meet my new skin partner—OLAY Body Wash Moisture Outlast!

Save As You Shop with Caltex & Robinsons Rewards Card!

I am a driver and I honestly can't live without my car (kahit old model) now. Practicality wise, it wins in all aspects. When I used to commute (as a stylist & blogger), I usually spend P1k+ a day riding cabs. Suicide db? During Tuesdays (color coding), I usually book through Uber or Grab-A-Taxi and I still spend quite a sum for my fares. Just the other day, I paid P250 for a trip from Cubao to Makati! That's why if I can, I bring my car nalang because P500 could last me 2-3 days na. Gas prices fluctuates (hate it when it spikes up) but it's better than commuting. As a regular paying gas enthusiast (haha what a term), it makes me happy that even though I spend money on gas, I still get something in return. Thank you Caltex for making your customers feel valuable through your rewards system! 

Now, here's another reason to choose Caltex--- Chevron, the marketer of Caltex, teamed up with Robinsons Retail Holdings to create a unique offer that allows customers to quickly and continually add value to their purchases by getting a variety of fuel and shopping rewards through their Robinsons Rewards Card!

  

Go Play With Your Hair, DOVE Got You Covered!

If I only have the patience + time, I am certain I'd be one of those girls who can't leave the house without fixing their hair to perfection. Whenever I have a special event to go to or I have a few minutes or hour to spare, I try to curl my super annoyingly straight hair. Of course, I know heat from the curler damages the hair so I use a heat protectant spray. Not sure if it's effective though because for one, my hair is still dead as a walis. Di lang obvious because I use conditioner everyday. Now, I'm so happy to share with you the only hair-saver you would ever need. DOVE's Intense Repair Haircare Range has got us all covered! So curl, straighten, perm, blowdry, clip, tie your hair away without worrying about damages. Photos from the launch:)

 Demo! They used 2 roses (delicate like our hair!) to show how effective Dove is. One was coated with Dove, the other was not. They then blow-dried both. 

So amazing how the one with Dove (right) looked fresh & alive! Wows.

Aside from blowdrying, curling, straightening, coloring, even every day activities, like towel drying, combing, brushing, and exposure to sun and wind can also cause damage to our hair.

 Hair Play stations!

Dove’s latest campaign invites women to Go Play with their Hair, while Dove takes care of the damage. Thanks to Keratin-Actives, a new, patented hair care technology, Dove Damage Therapy not only repairs damaged hair but also strengthens it to make it more resilient against future damage. Keratin-Actives provide superior nourishment and deeply penetrate into hair to repair it from the inside out, so hair looks, and feels healthy, and moves beautifully.

With my GFs Tracy, Ana & Sarah

Summer-Ready with DOVE Deodorant

I am guilty of kili-kili abuse. The reason why I seldom wear sleeveless tops (aside from my visible shoulder bones which I hate) is because I seldom shave. Okay, secret's out. Haha. I don't touch my armpits because I don't want it to darken. I don't pluck or wax it (makes the skin sag) or I don't do hair removal shiznits. I just shave it. Sometimes. Like 2-3x a month. I am going to try the IPL thing of YSA very soon, though! Anyway, I was also super scared to use deodorant everyday because someone told me it darkens the skin underneath. Don't worry, I don't have putok or baktol. I police my armpit. Hahaha. But the deodorant application thing changed when I discovered Dove. It's super lightweight, moisturizes, softens, smells really nice and is super gentle to the skin. It was also super effective during that one time I was rushing & I shaved my very dry armpits ending in catastrophe. My armpits got scarred for 2 weeks! I used Dove everyday and it went back to normal. Whew. Dove Deo has ingredients that makes creation of new cells faster. So stock up on Dove Deo to get that summer-ready underarm! More, more sleeveless na girl!:) Here are photos from the DOVE Summer-Ready Launch at Manila Polo Club last week!

Opening remarks by Unilever's Head of Public Relations, Apples Aberin:)
