Are you free in your skin? For the longest time (it’s slowly getting better now), I’ve been having self-esteem issues because of my super sensitive skin. My skin gets red, itchy and dry easily plus i’m very prone to acne. Sounds like your worst nightmare, right? When it comes to looking presentable, we need to start at the base: our skin! Patti Grandige spearheads #FreeInMySkin movement! Patti, one of the country’s freshest and most beautiful faces, admitted that she used to be like one of every two Filipinas who suffered from dry and sensitive skin. Really, who knew? She looks so perfect! This shows that we all have our insecurities. The question is – are we ready to face them? #FreeInMySkin I want to be free! The Free in My Skin Movement aims to empower women to fully embrace and participate in life by freeing them from dry and sensitive skin, because having dry and sensitive skin can serve as a hindrance for women to fully function to their best abilities. This movement also aims to honor the women in our lives who are now embracing and living life to the fullest aka feeling free! 🙂 Physiogel user right here!…

Create Your Butterfly Look with L’Oreal Paris I’ve always been fascinated by butterflies. The vivid colors on their wings, their grace when flapping from one plant to another. Just like butterflies, we all find ways to transform ourselves – we just need to figure out how to step out of our comfort zones 🙂 Live Free, Like A Butterfly I can proudly say I’ve found little ways to step out of my comfort zone this year.

Officially a “nails person” (lol!) To be honest, I’m the type who isn’t really particular how often to have my nails done or even what nail polish brand to use. Most recently, I decided to give the popular “Gel Nails” a try and I was amazed with the results! Gionyx Hair & Nail Salon And where else to get it done other than from the people who know it best? Got my nails done in a Korean salon in Makati! I super love them!! Services at affordable prices Gionyx Hair & Nail Salon is the ONLY one of it’s kind that offers authentic Gionyx products straight from Korea. They believe in only using the best for their clients and Gionyx is similar to OPI – really tough and vivid colors.  Gel manicure With it’s clean and spacious surroundings, you’ll surely feel at home Gionyx. They have sooo many colors you can choose from and a classic manicure only costs Php200! The gel one costs Php850 and here’s why I love it: 1.

Better Together: Eric and Stacey Wedding I couldn’t be any happier when my former Fancy Flats boss, Stacey Villanueva, broke the news that she’s getting married. “Finallyyyy!!!” I shrieked! Stacey’s an amazing woman so to hear her getting married? Such a lucky guy! 🙂 Hair and Make-up by Ham Viloria It honestly feels different when you receive a wedding invite from a non-family member. It almost brings you a sense of independence! You have to make arrangements for your own transpo, call time and yey – you get to invite a plus one! 🙂 Styling by Kevin Cusi So for this wedding, I got too excited to dress up (feeling may wedding role?!) that I asked two of my good friends to style and help me fix up. Haha!  Ten-tennn-tennnn! (2x)  neutrals and messy hair Neutrals. It’s the first thing that enters my mind when I think of bridal looks. Nothing feels fresher than a natural look paired with loose curly hair. That’s the look we wanted to achieve. Styled by Kevin Cusi I’d like to thank my stylist (naks!!) Kevin Cusi for this pretty outfit. It’s a cocktail dress but below the knee which makes it appropriate for weddings.…
