Balesin

in Balesin        I cant believe it’s almost March – the cold Berrr months are coming to an end (can you feel it?) so it’s time to embrace the sun!     The Island Life On the last day of our Balesin trip, I made sure to slip into something comfy and city-appropriate. Slacks on the beach? Why not!

Haha!        At Balesin Island Club       Yuki Tansengco          See you soon, Balesin!    My Style Cat     Hope you all have a blessed Sunday and thanks for dropping by!!! 🙂 (Photos by Alaysa Bisnar)

Balesin Island Club Picture time comes and it’s all smiles but one reaction is common: we all freak out when the camera has flash! I wonder why? It is cos of oil or uneven skin tone? One thing’s for sure: having great skin is essential if you want to be more confident and get closer. NIVEA shows us how! (And it had to be on this beautiful island.) NIVEA Welcome Dinner To wrap up Day 1, we gathering in a pleasant evening in one of the resorts as the NIVEA team shared about the brand history. I enjoyed the videos and I love how one product remains constant every year: the NIVEA Creme in a blue tin. “NIVEA revolutionized skincare when it released NIVEA Creme back in 1911. It was the first ever all-in-one moisturizer in the world. Today, our roster of products has grown more than tenfold. Why? Because people’s needs change. And together with that, we also grow; we evolve to make sure that we provide everyone the best solution that science can offer, at the best price that we can provide.” Yuki Tansengco | Thrifted colorful cover-up Speaking of growth, NIVEA stands strong and shows no signs…

                              A Closer Look At The Other World of Balesin I couldn’t explain the feeling when I received a blogger event invite to.. what – Balesin? Where’s that? Did I read it right? I was in for a treat when I hit that Google button. I couldn’t believe my first out of town event would be held in this beautiful 500 hectare island inspired and named after some of the most luxurious beach resorts around the world—Mykonos, St. Tropez, the Costa Smeralda, Bali and Phuket. Welcome to Balesin!                                             Touchdown, Balesin! Whoever saw the potential of this island (and developed it!) is pure genius – our view from the plane window shows more than seven kilometers of white-sand beaches. We arrived shortly in just a 20-minute private transfer from Manila to Balesin, departing at 6AM at the CAAP hangar.                                   Yuki Tansengco | Designs by Abby Jocson Tote This year, leading skincare brand NIVEA,…
