S&R Now Delivers Through the HonestBee App!

With today's intolerable traffic, unbearable commute and horrendous Grab fares, being on the road has become so stressful and time consuming that whenever I have a choice, I always prefer to just stay at home. That's why I am very thankful for technology because I can save more time and as a result do more work by using different apps which offers different services like bills payment, clothes shopping, tax filing, food delivery and now GROCERY SHOPPING! Woots! Grabe, as a freelancer and someone who can't cook to save my life, I am very thankful that I came across the HONESTBEE app. I always use it for food deliveries (always on time yey!) and now they offer groceries/products from everyone's favorite, S&R!!! You don't even have to be a member to be able to order! More details below...

Endless Entertainment with SHARP Acquos & #HomeScreenSolutions

Last week, I was invited by the SHARP team to an intimate luncheon at Big Bad Wolf in BGC where they presented their new & exciting digital TVs and latest technology. It was my first time to attend a SHARP event and I didn't know what to expect. Well, it was so much fun! They showed us their latest products over good food and lots of laughter. These are the events I live for. Haha. Plus, I certainly learned a LOT. I now know which brand to run to for entertainment needs! I also learned a lot about the different specs that are important factors in making a decision when buying a TV set. Specifications & requirements that are essential in this time & age of high technology & impending catastrophes. How? Read on... 

Shakey's Corned Beef Crrrunch Pizza is Here!

I just can't contain my happiness over the marriage of 2 foods that I love-- corned beef & pizza! Thank you pizza gods, thank you Shakey's! It's like winning the lottery because it's also thin crust (my fave), crunchy from all the shoestring potatoes scattered on top, sweet coz of the caramelized onion & a little soft & salty from the bits of cheese. PERFECTION in a slice. ;) As a dependable hang out and fun, family, pizza restaurant, Shakey’s takes it up a notch and satisfies that food craving by launching an exciting yet familiar treat for their guests – the Shakey’s Corned Beef Crrrunch Pizza. Here are photos from the fun launch held in Shakey's Buendia...

Coca Cola's Taste the Feeling Festival: Alden Richards, Spongecola and Many More!

Went to the Coca-Cola Taste the Feeling Festival and I had a blast!!! I kinda knew that there will be lots of people since it's a free concert and Alden Richards is in their line-up, but I didn't expect the crowd to be that big. I thought I would never get inside the venue! Haha. I got there at around 6pm and I had a hard time looking for the media reg area due to the mass of people blocking the entrances (they had to stop letting people in coz it was too crowded na inside) and I couldn't get through. They had to call for a bouncer to escort me in and I could feel the people in line death staring me. Sorry na po magcocover lang. Hehe. Anyway, once inside, I immediately met up with Ana and then we proceeded backstage (courtesy of Tracy & Spongecola! Thank yeww). Stories and photos below...

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...

Skin Session at KIEHL'S

I'm the kind of person who's obsessed with my skin but is actually too lazy to do anything about it. I suuuuck. I envy women who have the drive to consistently maintain their skin care routines (exfoliate, cleanse, tone, moisturize, etc, etc) and those who have the time and moolah to go to skin clinics for skin treatments. If you're like me, don't despair... KIEHL's is here to save the day! Or our skin for that matter. ;)

All hail the "Teen Queen"! Kathyrn Bernardo's latest conquest is being chosen as the new endorser of one of the country's leading shoe brand, PRIMADONNA.

Luxury x Fashion: ASUS Zenpad Tablets

Long overdue post, but here it is! So I went to the launch of ASUS Zenpad Tablets at Buddha Bar last August and I loved what I saw and discovered! :) The new ASUS Zenpad Tablets are definitely for fashion lovers like me. It was designed in accordance with ASUS' Zen design philosophy of balancing beauty and strength.  I love that it's sleek, simple, stylish and just fits my (our) everyday needs as a blogger and stylist! I use it for research, client presentations, social media updates, photos, watching my favorite TV series online. It's small enough to fit in my purse but it's still super functional. Photos!

"Calling All Curious" Fossil Fall 2015 Launch

I seldom go to events anymore but whenever I get an invite from a brand I love, I make sure I'm there! Fossil is one of them. Maybe because we go from way back. It's one of the brands I handled before when I was still working for Robinsons Department Store as an Asst. Buyer for Mens and Ladies Accessories. Had so much good memories with this brand and the people behind it. It was also one of my top sellers! Anyway, went to the launch of their new collection in Shangrila Mall and I love how it's the same Fossil I loved, only bigger and better. Here are photos from the launch!

Dinner with Ms. TingTing Cojuangco + The Elegant Filipina

Ms. Tingting Cojuangco has always been one of my favorite fashionistas and one of my style icons. I just love how she carries everything she wears with grace, finesse and confidence. Her style is not just dependent on her clothes but it exudes from within. Her outfit choices and her overall look are always on point. Anybody could dress up and call themselves fashionistas, but not everyone has innate, effortless style. Did you know that during the year 1968, she was selected by Harper's Bazaar as one of the 100 Most Beautiful Women in the World alongside Jacqueline Kennedy, Queen Sirikit, Gloria Vanderbilt, Grace Kelly & Audrey Hepburn to name a few??? Wowww! So when I, together with a few bloggers, got invited to have dinner with her at her house, I just had to say yes. I've heard a lot of good things about her and I wanted to experience it myself. Hehe. So why where we there? Scroll down below to find out!:)

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! :)

One of my favorite watch brands, VELOCI, recently launched their newest collection through a super fun white pool party and fashion show at The Palace Pool Club. The event was graced by bloggers and numerous celebrities / personalities, with DJ Nina Saputil and DJ Lunatics on deck providing fresh beats and hosted by the gorgeous Nicole Andersson.

Fresh New Products from MARSHALL

Anyone who loves music would go ga-ga over Marshall's top-quality earphones, speakers or even amplifiers. I want one for myself!!!:) When it comes to music, popular brand Marshall resonates, making it one of the go to products of musicians and music lovers because of its history and designs. It was founded in the 1960's by drum shop owner and drummer, Jim Marshall. Marshall guitar amplifiers and loudspeaker cabinets were sought by guitarists for its new sound and increased volume.You could go to their page to view all the musicians and bands who patronize them! It includes some of my faves such as Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Will of Bastille, Graham Coxon of Blur, Joe Trohman of Fallout Boy, John 5 of Rob Zombie, Slash, and even legendary musicians and bands such as AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Alice in Chains, Iron Maiden, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top! So bongga! 

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!

PARFOIS S/S 2015: The Boho Experience

Was one of the lucky few who was invited to the launch of Parfois Spring/Summer 2015 collection. I love intimate events and this one's got to be one of my favorites! I initially thought it's gonna be a simple launch, but when we got there we were treated to an amazing Boho Experience!:) I've always loved Parfois. I've known the brand since I started styling because we pullout from them before for editorial shoots and I love that they have quite a number of styles--from accessories to shoes to bags. Anyway, here are photos from the fun launch held at Pio's Kitchen...

Love this hippie Parfois van parked outside!
