Forever Beautiful has launched their second branch here at the North! (LG /F SM North Annex), For me who has been trying out their treatments it is more convenient for me now since I live here at Quezon city instead of me going to their branch at SM Mega Mall- where most of their clients are.
Since they just opened this July, their SM North branch is not yet in full interior- in the coming days it would be as chic like their SM Mega Mall Branches.
I’ve tried their GLOW FACIAL (P499.00) with gold mask (additional P200). It starts off by applying cleanser and scrub (applied like two times). The scrub would be applied and massaged then after with the use of the 2 kinds of electrical brushes (thin one for the nose and another one which is bigger for the entire face) This treatment gives additional glow to your skin and also has exfoliating properties. This is an option for those who doesn’t want to go for extraction. The procedure would take 15-20 minutes. For it was kind of “bitin(short time)” because maybe I was used to having extraction facials and the oxygen facial they have (would usually take an hour). Definitely if this is the kind of facial you are up for- I did feel a difference on my skin. Well if you are up for extraction they have a basic facial that cost (P350), you can actually add that to your glow facial. I availed the gold mask to give additional exfoliation to my skin.

Note: If you have sensitive skin, you opt to seek advice first.
Being “balbon”/Hairy all these years made me appreciate the feeling of newly waxed and shave skin because It feels LIBERATING. The endless questions from others asking how does it feel and does it become thicker after. Well to answer the last question it depends on your hair (hormones). For me in a span of 2 weeks my eyebrows start to become bushy (after threading). Getting hot waxed for my legs would take a month for it to start growing.
For me it is essential to feel hairless because it makes me happy (That is the important thing, what makes you happy and its your money right?) . But a tip, once you’ve start doing it you have to maintain it. It’s all hardwork being a woman.
Its a new venture for me to be a brand ambassador for whipped and get to blog their services for a year, I’ve tried the sugar waxing for the eyebrows, hands and legs. Caramel scrubbin’ for the underarms too 🙂
Sugar waxing is painless but prepare for the shock but that would be normal for the first, but as it goes on you don’t mind. My brows started to grow after 2 weeks as expected for me since I am very balbon and got thick hair. For the arms it took a month for it to grow but for my legs I started to notice it takes less than a month unlike my usual.
The caramel scrubbin’, you won’t get to appreciate it at first, yes my underarms lightened a bit but I think it has to be continuous and need to consistent with this regime. The caramel scrubbin’ has whitening effects as said. I always like a good scrub with a pleasing aromatic scent. Just keep in mind we all vary with different skin types, it may be hiyang for some and others. The good thing with whipped they use all natural products and the price range is affordable for middle class.

As a reader/bookie myself, I can’t believe that the evolution of writing changes – as social media becomes a medium and now it can be flipped into the book pages, this my friends is what people call now Socialserye. Maybe you’ve heard of Vince and Kath spread all over and shared on Facebook. Well this is a different story about unconditional love of Christian and Anne. It is very unusual for me to read text messages on a book – I am very open minded about it.
The gist of the story is about Christian, a fat nerd who confesses his feelings via text to Anne – which started this whole story. Anne, is the most popular gal in school who recently just broke up with her heartthrob boyfriend Patrick. That’s when Christian tried to make “the moves” when Anne was at the stage of vulnerability. Well Christian became a rebound but then Anne started to fall for this chubby chaser. Then this Patrick guy came in the picture again and try to ruin and tear the two apart.
Christian got hurt, seek refuge by going back to the states coming back and crossing paths with Anne years after turned into this hunk/ every girl’s dream guy. And that is where the story revolves and the trials these two lovebirds have to face.
This novel is the brainchild of Dolce Amore – she was all about the idea that love comes in all shapes and sizes, an advocate of unconditional love. We asked why she chose Tommy Esguerra as “Christian”. She said she admired Tommy for a long time and he would be perfect as Christian because of his pretty boy face, Adonis figure and charm. Will there be a sequel I asked, she said “Yes”.
Meeting Tommy was a humbling experience, (He’s taken girls we all know that – seen all his sweet chivalry on PBB for Miho – you lucky girl!). Actually I bumped into Tommy before at Trinoma and asked for a selfie, because two of my best gal pals are fans. This is my second encounter with him but I get to interview him. He is honored and thrilled to be as Christian and he gave some guy tips that men despite of their masculine nutshell can get too emotional when they fall in love and get hurt. When it comes to moving on he said just keep yourself busy.
If you guys want to grab a copy of Christian and Anne, the book is available in all leading National Bookstores for the price of P150 and get kilig too.

17 August 2015 – It’s time to go head over
heels for DIVA’s How Do I Look? Asia – the highly anticipated
Asian re-imagination of the hit fashion makeover series. Billed as “Asia’s ultimate fashion fix,” How Do I Look? Asia will make its debut onMonday, 31 August at 8PM
(SIN/MAL) on DIVA, NBCUniversal International Networks’ leading entertainment channel for women in
Asia.
The NBCUniversal International format,
produced by NBCUniversal’s Matchbox Asia, follows Malaysian celebrity
and style icon Sazzy Falak as she guides eight fashion victims to the path of
fashion enlightenment. Jeannie Mai, host of the original U.S. version, and a
familiar face to Asian viewers, features in each episode, setting up the
fashion challenges each week.
The fashion-challenged victims
include onesie-addict/ blogger Apple Allison of Sole Searching Soul (Philippines); indie
rock guitarist Ariana (Malaysia); mismatch, mishap/ watercolor artist Choc
(Taiwan); sales executive, and literally “plain”Jane
(Philippines/Australia); overachieving, yet outdated, Lavinya (Malaysia); rebel
teacher Lianni (Philippines); romantically-insecure Maisarah (Singapore); and
the uninspiringly-dressed motivational speaker Yessinta (Indonesia).
To achieve a professional look that can be
replicated for the everyday, Sazzy will be joined by a guest stylist in each
episode: Liz Uy (Filipina celebrity stylist); Zac Wu (Taiwanese celebrity
stylist); Andrea Wong (former editor of Elle Malaysia); and Anindita Saryuf
(fashion director of Elle Indonesia).
In each episode, Sazzy and an accomplice – a concerned family member, friend or colleague
– will help transform the
lucky fashion victim into a beacon of style.
After having their wardrobe raided, the individual will have their
current fashion choices face the “Eww Tube”, one of the iconic
features of the original format. The “Eww Tube” is a vacuum cleaner-like machine that
literally sucks offending outfits up and away after they have been eliminated
by the panel of fashion experts and accomplices.
The transformations featured on the series
transcend fashion and style. Viewers will also get to witness the complex and
emotional backstories of the victims, whose glamorous new looks, and freshly
developed sense of style, act as a catalyst for them to adopt a more positive
and confident outlook on life.
“How Do I Look? Asia
is a testament to DIVA’s position as
the leading women’s
entertainment channel in Asia. We are confident that this ground-breaking local
production, like its original franchise, will strongly resonate with our core
female audiences across the region,” said Christine Fellowes, Managing Director, Asia
Pacific, NBCUniversal International Networks. “Using the insights from various in-depth research
initiatives on Asian women that NBCUniversal has conducted and developed over
the recent years, How Do I Look? Asia features many of the elements that
we found women loved: fabulous and fun makeovers, the hottest fashion trends
tailored to Asian sensibilities, inspiring and heart-warming personal stories,
and a positive underlying message that encourages every woman to be her best
self.”
Jeannie and Sazzy will be making live
appearances as they tour Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam later this month on
the following dates:
–
Singapore: 20-22 August
–
Kuala Lumpur: 23-25 August
–
Ho Chi Minh City: 26-27 August
How Do I Look? Asia Season One is presented
by regional sponsor Zalora.
Tito Costa, Managing Director of ZALORA Group,

Look? Asia’s very first season of fashion makeover series
and we’re proud to contribute to the life-changing makeovers
featured throughout the show. ZALORA supports Asia’s diverse forms of beauty

confidence-boosting looks. This is perfectly echoed in the weekly fashion
transformations featured throughout the show.”
