Beats and treats til sunrise Me and physical exercise never seem to co-exist since I found it a struggle to keep my weight up but I realized that working out doesn’t mean losing weight – it means being healthy and strong. So I decided to give this one a go! There’s something about this run that got me all excited – the beats! Rexona Run To Your Beat Imagine tunnels with sounds on full blast plus visuals to match! So happy to finally be part of one of the most sought-after runs in the calendar, the Rexona Run To Your Beat 2014.

T-shirt dress from ZALORA Nothing feels more comfy than slipping on a cotton t-shirt dress. I found this while browsing through one of my favorite e-commerce sites – Zalora Philippines! Keeping it simple For pieces like this, you can simply wear a necklace with no fuss.  Lazy afternoon Grey & white I apologize if my white heels make a regular appearance on the blog. It’s really important to have a staple pair like this! One of my favorite places to shop for heels is Zalora Philippines!

in Mega Fashion Hall I remember seeing a tweet the night of the VIP launch saying, “H&M all over my feed.” Everyone knows it has arrived and we are all excited about it. I was lucky to be one of the first customers to visit and shop so here are 5 quick tips to make your H&M shopping experience a great one! HM says Hello, Manila! Tip number one: Don’t get overwhelmed. Upon entering the store, you’ll be greeted by racks filled with lots of choices and fabulously styled mannequins. Don’t panic! Relax – you will have enough time to scan each of the 3 floors. Yes, THREE! 🙂 Nikita Conwi and Yuki Tansengco To tell you the truth, I got overwhelmed too during the launch. I kept hoping from one area to another, excited to go up the other floors so I didn’t really get to scan properly. Oh well – a perfect reason to come back! 🙂 Very affordable hats and scarves Tip number two: Don’t assume the pieces expensive! Some people make the mistake of NOT picking up an item just because they think it looks expensive. See those scarves? I wanted a cheetah print one but…

San Marino Tuna Flakes What’s New What’s Next Fair “Fall 7 times – get up 8.” Success means getting up just one more time than you fall. It means wanting to be greater than you were yesterday so this leaves us with the question, “What’s next?” 😉 An Afternoon of Outdoor Fun Last Saturday, I stepped out of my comfort zone for an afternoon of outdoor fun in Mercato BGC at San Marino’s What’s New What’s Next Fair! It was scary yet thrilling at the same time. I once read a quote before – “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” and I totally agree. San Marino Tuna Flakes | Foodsphere Inc. With an afternoon of fun and athletic activities, San Marino introduced its latest endorser, someone who embodies the brand so much and I, personally, couldn’t think of anyone better. Guess who? Dan dan dan… Praiaz outdoor shoes | Nike compression shirt I do not own any athletic gear so imagine my panic when we were asked to dress in something like that. I once read somewhere that even if you don’t know what to do yet – always dress the part! So here’s my “work-out” look, what do you think?…

White + Denim overalls kind of day Proudly wearing one of my classic ukay finds – these overalls. The perfect hybrid of comfortable jeans and a glamorous jumpsuit and it’s making a serious comeback. Glad it’s no longer associated to the look of farmers and toddlers, overalls have been given a chic makeover and I can’t wait to overwear this casual trend. Overlooked Overalls Been getting a number of positive comments lately on Instagram and the blog, like people noticing my hair color change. I’m beyond kilig but truly, there’s a glam team behind it who are the real superstars that shouldn’t be overlooked.  Thrifted denim overalls | Forever 21 white strappy heels | Abby Jocson Erin Tote | W.E. Garage crop top You can never go wrong with the classic white with denim. I found this baby while I was thrifting somewhere in Manila and paired it with my favorite W.E.

Sending warm hugs and kisses I really appreciate all the comments, likes, and favorites so I’d like to take this minute to say thank you! Thank you for always following my weirdness on the blog and…
