On sustainable living Just like how vegan food can get pricier compared to fastfood, I often wonder how it’s possible to live sustainably AND affordably? A social enterprise teaches us how to make it possible! Something new for Rags 2 Riches Meet Reese, co-found of Rags 2 Riches (R2R)! Most recently, they launched it’s R2R Living collection and has partnered with SoFA Design Institute to talk about this new partnership.  Yuki Tansengco I love how this brand discussed on how we can bring sustainable design into our very own homes – fashionably and without damaging our pockets.  Bags from Rags 2 Riches (Liz Uy Collection) I’ve always been an avid fan of R2R because of it’s cause and it’s amazing bag designs so when I heard they were going to launch a HOME collection, I was so excited to hear about it! R2R Living So what exactly is R2R Living? Reese Ruiz and the Dean of SoFa, Tobi Guggenheimer, tells us all about it!

Yuki Tansengco “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” I remember keeping that quote as my wallpaper for the longest time. It’s true, isn’t it? The only way we’ll grow is when we try new things – and that means going beyond our comfort zone. Big Hair, Don’t Care To be honest, I would always play it safe. When it comes to hairstyles, either RAZOR STRAIGHT or VS CURLS. Nothing in between because I felt like other hairstyles wouldn’t be bagay but I tried something different this time! Hair by Blo Blow Dry Bar I walked into Blo Megamall and Anton, our Session Stylist, asked what I wanted. Let’s go to town! Hair by Blo If we are friends, you’d know my hair is always straight. Not because I choose to keep it that way but because it’s really stubborn. No matter how much product I put on to keep the curls, it never stays so this hairstyle left me in awe!

Beachy Waves 101 Truth be told, my hair is not one to cooperate with hairstyles. I’m the type of girl who spends almost an hour in a salon chair – only to find out my curls disappear in 30 minutes until I discovered a secret! Classic denim and leopard With great hair is a simple outfit. I’ve always been laid back in my style and to be honest, I love to live in button downs and all things animal print. Yuki Tansengco When you go for a simple outfit such as a denim polo and white shorts, don’t be afraid to add a touch of color! I love these bright red flats from Tres shoes! Thank you Kash and Mela! Loose, Beach-y Waves And now, here is the mane attraction: how to keep ‘em curls the whole day! GLITTERS denim button down | CROW origami shorts | TRES red flats Cool and casual is how I’d describe this outfit. I wore it on a day of errands around Rockwell and it’s just so comfy!

Yuki Tansengco I don’t know if it’s just me but I always get the feeling that it feels warmer whenever I wear darker colors. Hmmm – is that true? If that’s the case, I’d wear pastels any day!

They have expanded into 4 branches all over Metro Manila! Warm eyes and bold lips And of course, good hair needs to be matched with lovely make-up! Guess who did mine? 😉 Marni top | Plains and Prints trousers | Debenhams pointed heels If there is one clothing staple that you must have: it’s a good pair of trousers. Once you find the best fitting pair, don’t think twice and buy it in neutral colors.  Ferragamo | Vera 2-Way Handbag It also doesn’t hurt to invest in a signature handbag. Believe me, ladies, these are investments and not expenses. You’ll use it for many years instead of buying a fancy bag that’ll you’d want to dispose in a month.
