Oh.. I'm a Frustrated Fashion Blogger

Yes, I am a frustrated fashion blogger. I really want to be famous and all when it comes to the fashion industry. Other than being a fashion blogger I also want to be a ramp model. I wish! Haha:))

You need to have enough funds in order to be a fashion blogger 'cause you need to buy clothes every now and then so that you're updated with the latest trends, and I know I can't do that.. FOR NOW. :D So I thought of doing this one step at a time by collecting some fashion items such as.. LIPSTICK! Since college I'm fond of collecting lipsticks and I think this is a very good investment! Here is my collection :))



MAC lipstick is one of my favorite collection. It really long lasting and it has this sweet scent when you apply it on. Also, I love their matte collection. My favorite shade is Ruby Woo:) (Secon from the left)

Random
These are my random lipstick. If you want a long lasting lipstick that is cheaper, I suggest you try cover girl:) Lip gloss from Vicotoria's Secret is awesome too!
Maybelline Collection

And if you want the most affordable lipstick that has a very good quality I suggest you try Mabelline:) They have two types of lipstick, the matte and the glossy one. Since I'm using MAC's matte lipstick more often, I often use Maybelline's wetlook/glossy lipstick 'cause it gives you this naturally juicy effect on your lips!


YUM! Haha!

*will be posting some of my shoes sooon!


Our Very Own G-Spot Online Shop:)

When I haven't started my training before, I spent my whole day bumming around our house. Then I came up with the idea of putting up an online shop so that I have extra source of income. I can't do it alone that's why I asked my friends, Lizette and Donna, to join me in this bizarre idea. Then came G-Spot Online Shop.

When we were promoting our shop, everyone's asking.. WHY G-SPOT?! Guys, we're not selling sex toys okay? It stands for Girl's Spot. Catchy name right?:)


We worked our ass off thinking on very unique designs, and of course we want to have our own trademark since it's highly competitive in this line of business.

Here are some of our products:

 OUR BRACELETS:



Fashionably AFFORDABLE! And I'm so proud of our items. How bout you drop by our website? G-Spot Online Shop. See you there girls! :)


Hippest Swimsuit this 2012 and How to Choose the BEST Swimsuit just for YOU!

I'm so excited to hit the beach this summer that's why I'm thinking of what to wear. This inspired me to create a blog regarding the hippest swimsuit fit for your body type!

Tired of the traditional one piece bikinis you see in the beach? One of the newest trends this year is the ONE PIECE CUT OUT swimsuit.




This one piece cut out swimsuit is best if you don't want to show too much skin, if you want to hide or accentuate some area in your body. I personally use this type of swimsuit because it makes me look sexy and hides the fatty part of my tummy as well :)

Sexy String Bikini


If you really want to flaunt your sexy body in the beach, this is the right swimsuit for you! You'll show a lot of skin in this look, especially your flat tummy! Just some tips: This swimsuit is good to wear if you have a pear shaped body or if you have wide hips. Just make sure to wear light colored top and dark for the bottom as it helps balance your pear shaped body. Wearing pleated  or ruffled top (detailed top) will help divert the eye upward so that they wont look at your hip. Lastly, wearing a haltered top will create a cleavage. :D


Bandeau or Strapless Swimsuit


This swimsuit fits you if you have a narrow shoulder and a very slim body. It loooks really sexy!

Tankinis


This Tankini is a good substitue for a one piece swimsuit. It helps hide your bod's imperfections and it gives you this sophisticated look in the beach. Sexy but classy!

I hope now you have a better idea on what to wear this summer! Flaunt that sexy body ladies!

Shared Experience During the Season of Lent

People usually travel and go to certain places during Holy Week, but our family opted to commemorate this event at home since we are religiously active during this season. Every year we have procession on Holy Wednesday and Good Friday. But this year, it's a bit special because we have two very special guests in the family and one of them is Donna of preciousmelody.com. It was here first time to attend a procession which is almost a three hour walk!



Before the procession.

After the procession. So tired! After 3 hours of walking, finally we made it!



Though we really got tired from walking, we still have a lot of energy to paint our nails. Since I grew up with my two brothers, I am so happy to have her in the house 'cause it was always my dream to have a sister (as young as I am) that will do girlie things with me such as taking pictures or dressing up. Often times when I do this alone, my brothers always make fun at me. :(


I did a galaxy design on my nails, and rainbow-ish design on hers.
On her last night here, one of my friends invited us to go to their small fishpond here in Bulacan. The place was peaceful and really relaxing, you can feel the fresh wind! We also rode a small boat and had a tour in the pond. It was really funny 'cause a milk fish jumped inside our boat. To add up the excitement, we got stuck in the middle of the pond. HAHA!





On top of that, it was also a great opportunity for us to get to know each other more! One thing that I realize is that I should appreciate everything that I had and I have. There are times that I feel like i'm not contented with what I have and I always asking for more. But now, I know that I have a lot of things to be thankful of and I should appreciate every piece it. 











Colorful Dotted Nail Art


These are the materials that you will be needing. Pencil with an eraser tip, pin, and your nail polish. Make sure that you have a dark base color, black nail polish, and other very light colors.

In order to have these dots on your nails..

You need to use your pencil and pin. Insert the pink with round plastic edge at the eraser part of your pencil. This is just an improvised dotting device, but if you want, you can also buy one:)
Dip the round part of the pin on your nail polish, and lightly press it down on your nail. Watch my video  for the detailed steps and other techniques that you may use:)




It will end up looking like this:)) Have fun guys!




Creative Shots! FUN!

It's the time of the year when all the graduating class is busy preparing for their much awaited graduation pictorial. On top of the usual formal shots, we have this what we call graduation creative shot. I really don't know what's this for, but it's a lot of fun. You have to think of someone that you want to portray, it may be an artist, a cartoon character, how you see yourself 5-10 years from now, or your personality as a college student.

Let me share with you guys my college creative shot with my friends. It's really difficult to think who will you portray because this is a one time big time shot, this something that you can look back when you grow old or you can share with your children, and of course you want your creative shot to stand out!

So here on the right side of the picture are the people/character that we chose to portray, and on the left side is our own version of portraying those people on the right:)

Inspired from the Axe commercial.
Audrey created her wings by using illustration board and white cartolina. She used one inch wide ribbon and attached it to here silver high heels shoes to give it an ancient/greek look, she wore a white spaghetti strapped dress and created a halo as well.

Audrey Hepburn's Sophistication
Anne is a fan of Audrey Hepburn's sophisticated persona and her fashion statement as well. She tied her hair back and used a gold metal headband to accessorize her hair. She wore black round neck dress, pearl necklace and earrings, and black lace vintage gloves. Of course, who would miss her black cigarette holder!

Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf
I am a very big fan of gossip girl and I admire Blair Waldorf the most. She is fashionably sophisticated! Before I am not used to tucking in my shirt or blouse, but after seeing Blair's fashion statement it mad me realize that tucking in make you look sexy and sophisticated at the same time. In this picture, I wore her signature headband, white round neck top with ribbon, black belt, and black pencil cut skirt.

Inspired by Pirates of the Carribean
Lizette wanted to portray a lady pirate, in this picture she weard black and white bandana, a white long sleeves tube and black vest on top of it, and then a red satin skirt.

Inpired by Pebbles-The Flinstones
Donna wears an Amazona costume, and we thought that if she'll wear a bone hair dress, it would make her look like Pebbles from the Flinstones.

Aladdin's Princess Jasmine
Regine rented this blue two piece costume that resemble Princess Jasmine. She accessorized herself with a lot of bangle bracelets, ad if you are conservative like her, you can wear a cover up to hide your body:)

How to create your cover letter:)

Because I want to work in the hospital really bad, I decided that it's time for me to start submitting my resume in the hospitals that I wish to work since I am done with the basic training that I need. 

If this is the first time that you'll be applying for a job, of course you need one thing: your very own resume. Now, I do hope that we all know how to create our own resume, its contents depends on your background, seminars and training you have attended, and of course your work experience. And some hospitals require something else other than your resume, that is a COVER LETTER.

Now let me show you the format of your cover letter.
Your Contact Information
Name
Address
City, State, Zip Code
Phone Number
Email Address
Date
Employer Contact Information (if you have it)
Name
Title
Company
Address
City, State, Zip Code
Salutation
Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name, (leave out if you don't have a contact)
Body of Cover Letter
The body of your cover letter lets the employer know what position you are applying for, why the employer should select you for an interview, and how you will follow-up.
First Paragraph
The first paragraph of your letter should include information on why you are writing. Mention the position you are applying for and where you found the job listing. Include the name of a mutual contact, if you have one.
Middle Paragraph(s)
The next section of your cover letter should describe what you have to offer the employer. Mention specifically how your qualifications match the job you are applying for. Remember, you are interpreting your resume, not repeating it.
Final Paragraph 
Conclude your cover letter by thanking the employer for considering you for the position. Include information on how you will follow-up.
Complimentary Close
Respectfully yours,
Signature

Now, since you know the format and the details that you need, it's time for you to know the contents of each paragraph and some tips that you need to know:
The graduate nurse has just entered the nursing field right after completing the schooling and testing. Here the job of a graduate nurse is to responsibly handle the clinical activities and deliver high-quality care to different patients. Therefore, your cover letter should highlight the specifics and portray that you are a potential employer. The fundamental tips regarding Graduate Nurse cover letter are as follows:
  • Your cover letter should include a specific addressee
  • Try to include relevant information in your cover letter
  • Have a prior knowledge about the organization you have applied for
  • Highlight your educational and professional background
  • Follow a professional format
  • Keep a check on the spelling and grammar mistakes
  • Focus on your communicative and technical skills
  • Try to maintain a subtle and a confident tone in your cover letter
  • Clearly specify the post you have applied for
  • Lay emphasis on a personal meeting
  • Signature on your cover letter
  • A concluding sentence in your cover letter

These tips helped a lot in creating my own cover letter, I hope that this has been helpful for you guys as well. Good luck!!


Let's Face It vs Posh Nails Eyelash Extension

I have always been a fan of those people who have natural long eyelashes. It makes your eyes look bigger and gives you this seductive look. Since I have "chinita" eyes, I want to use this as one of my assets. I want to give emphasis on my eyes, and to tell you the truth I don't have long lashes. That's why I thought maybe if I will have my eyelashes extended, my eyes will look better that's why I gave it a shot.

I heard that Let's Face It and Posh Nails are one of the best shops that does eyelash extension. So I tried to have my eyelash extended on Let's Face It They did the usual process that we see on the internet and you get to choose the size, how thick, and how long your extensions be. It took me approximately one hour to have this done. Here is a picture of their product:







This is what they call the "Natural Look". It has thin strands of lashes and from the name itself, it really looks natural when you have it on. The lady from Going Straight told me that eyelash extension usually lasts for 3 months, depending on how you take care of it. But mine lasted for 1 1/2 month only, I dunno why. At the beginning, it feels itchy but you'll get used to it later on. How to take care of it? Well when you wash your face, you shouldn't rub you eyes, you can't put eyeliner because it will be difficult for you to take it off. 

After few months, I wanted to have my eyelash extended the second time around! So I tried going to Posh Nails. And I may say that I love Posh Nails over Going Straight because when they put it on, it was less than 30 minutes. And the eyelash looks fuller and more obvious. It wasn't as itchy as before and the texture is softer compared to Going Straight. And Posh Nails lasts longer than Going Straight. Here is my picture when I have my eyelash extended in Posh Nails:




Good Luck on your Eyelash Extension:D

Tony and Jackey Digital Perm

I was always curious with Bang's Tony and Jackey Salon, especially their very famous DIGITAL PERM. I had my hair permed few years ago (the old way) but the curl was too fine that I looked like "Sto. Nino" (yeah, my classmates were teasing me back then). So less than two months after I had my hair permed, I cut it short- really short.

But with the help of technology,people had come up with this idea of digital perming. So I gave it a shot. Part of my hair was rebonded so they have to trim it, though they also perm rebonded hair, after trimming my hair they washed it again and applied Keratin treatment on my hair since my hair is thin. They use this solution to protect your hair for further damage when the perming solution is applied, also it keeps the natural shine of your hair so it wont look dry like the other traditionally permed hair. After applying this hair treatment for 10 minutes, they rinsed it again and applied the L'oreal Extenso Solution on my hair. After which, they used medium sized curler and my hair was placed on the digital perming machine.



After an hour, my hair was removed from the perming machine, was rinsed and blow dried, applied the mineral hair solution that you can only purchase in T&J, and voile! I had my hair permed. I'm sooo happy with the result of my T&J experience. It's all worth it! I spent P 6,500 for the perming service and additional P 600 for the mineral hair solution:)
