                              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,…

Let the dares begin!  David and I have our own style blogs so we dared a group of friends to strike their most fashionable #OOTD pose using the NESTLE DRUMSTICK as an accessory! All smiles during this one because they completed it without a bead of sweat despite the hot afternoon.   Dare to be LUCKY? David dared a new friend to give me a kiss on the cheek in exchange for a NESTLE DRUMSTICK. He couldn’t have completed the dare sweeter!   Do you dare to be EXTRA friendly? Monopods were everywhere! David and I spotted a group of stylish friends and dared them to use the monopod and take a…
