<a name='more'></a>I just found the <a href="https://www.stylewe.com/" target="_blank">best collections</a> of elegant pencil skirts that are perfect for the working professional women out there.<br />
<br />
Aside from the fact these pencil skirts are gorgeous, they are also available for affordable prices. You can choose to your heart's content and we won't judge you for that. ;) I guess it's just right for a woman to at least have one or two (or more) pencil skirts in her closet.<br />

This year, I am extra thankful because me and my best friend, Grace, reconnected after eleven long years. We’re both very thankful for Facebook and the internet because of these, we were able to find each other again.<br />
<br />
Since Christmas day is just around the corner, I’ve thought of giving my best friend a gift. I was looking for <a href="http://www.fashionmia.com/dresses-53/" target="_blank">chic and fabulous cute dresses</a> that I'm sure will suite her personality just fine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgczVh_TcEhQmDRJRzZUM09fvwiAgJEHvZDk22XQG3ktScfShWt-KDO68Cj6tv4UX_4_FBlpA3hI_VoEyqIN8IZ0WMWbs_Hq5koVKdad7k7LsEHxsPm6ooz7rUe7GuJs9-i7GMaGdVDR-Y/s1600/hooded+dress.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgczVh_TcEhQmDRJRzZUM09fvwiAgJEHvZDk22XQG3ktScfShWt-KDO68Cj6tv4UX_4_FBlpA3hI_VoEyqIN8IZ0WMWbs_Hq5koVKdad7k7LsEHxsPm6ooz7rUe7GuJs9-i7GMaGdVDR-Y/s400/hooded+dress.png" width="247" /></a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>…and I found this Hooded Drawstring Kangaroo Pocket Striped Bodycon Dress and it is just perfect for my best friend! I can’t wait to see her wearing it.<br />
<br />
And for the other girl I am really thankful for... my cousin Riza.<br />
<br />
Riza is a cousin that I share the same birthday with and she’s very special to me because she’s been with me through ups and downs. A little background about my cousin; she’s a plus size and I think she’s really looks fine and hella sexy, even though she thinks otherwise.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As I have noticed, she’s into <a href="http://www.fashionmia.com/plus-size-114/" target="_blank">elegant and sexy plus size clothing</a> lately. As a sign of my gratitude for her, I am giving her this Surplice Bowknot Plain Plus Size Flared Dress which I know will be perfect for her. It’ll show off her curves and for sure once she have it on, it will leave her man wanting her even more! ;) Plus, this color really suites her!<br />
<br />
This Christmas season, don’t forget to make the people around you to feel special. Make them feel that they matter, they are appreciated for everything they do for you. Do something for them, buy them something, cook them something… anything. It’s really the thought that counts. <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 11pt;">J</span>Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732688003819839792.post-90714252263365991322016-09-24T18:54:00.000+08:002016-09-24T18:54:45.352+08:00Creative and Strange - Azure ShenI was browsing this <a href="ttps://www.stylewe.com" target="_blank">shopping platform</a> called StyleWe earlier today, and I found a section about a certain designer named Azure Shen. A very brave girl who risked her stable careers as a chief designer and creative director, and started the trendy women's brand 'AZURE SHEN'.<br />
<br />
The style of <a href="https://www.stylewe.com/designer/azure-shen-159" target="_blank">Shen Clothing</a> is an original brand and it is nothing like the ordinary styles we see everyday. It will surely make you standout from the crowd.<br />
<br />
Here are my top three picks:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIHZ2rb0XhYs_SGucfSGadGJQe0RNK9QJ1bzy8StQFpKjZ_8QMgPtr8wD6QFl6Y4eyemw8K79wPUrOt1TZopf6B5wuTAeGhXhqgfx9rY4ZqFV9VVTLJK-h7aDV0vgFua8plCYg2FqqnM/s1600/Azure+Shen+designs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIHZ2rb0XhYs_SGucfSGadGJQe0RNK9QJ1bzy8StQFpKjZ_8QMgPtr8wD6QFl6Y4eyemw8K79wPUrOt1TZopf6B5wuTAeGhXhqgfx9rY4ZqFV9VVTLJK-h7aDV0vgFua8plCYg2FqqnM/s400/Azure+Shen+designs.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Her designs screams creativity and strange, but they compliment each other perfectly. They are edgy and full of high-street meaning, and I think they are perfect for women who aren't afraid to express themselves like Azure Shen herself.<br />
<br />
I wish everyone could be like her (including myself), not be afraid to take risks and do the things they really are passionate about.<br />

I can't believe that it's been a year already since my last post in this blog. So much has happened in the past year, and I'm so glad I survived. We have so much catching up to do, don't we?<br />
<br />
Well, I've moved out from my parents months ago and I couldn't be happier for that decision. Though my parents, especially my mother was against it, they respected my decision. I am enjoying my freedom now but, living on my own has it's pros and cons. I'll talk about that in my other blog.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've been noticing some things in my body for awhile now but I've ignored it. Now, that I am on my own... I decided to go see a doctor, an OB/GYN to be exact.<br />
<br />
My concerns are the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>irregular period - didn't have my monthly visitor since November 2015</li>
<li>acne breakouts</li>
<li>unwanted facial and body hair (hirsutism) - I'm quite hairy for a woman</li>
</ul>
<div>
So far, those are just what I have noticed but still made me worried.</div>
<div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Althea - an oral contraceptive pills</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
When I went to the OB/GYN clinic, the gynecologist did an ultrasound on my lower abdomen. She was actually about to do a transvaginal ultrasound to me, but since I don't have any sexual activities, we settled with abdominal ultrasound. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To make the story short, I have <b>Polycystic Ovary Syndrome</b> (PCOS). They found small cysts on my ovary. This explains the unwanted hairs, PCOS makes more androgens (male hormones). PCOS may cause a woman to stop ovulating, get acne, and grow extra facial and body hair.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to <a href="http://www.webmd.com/women/tc/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-topic-overview" target="_blank">WebMD</a>, the cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but genetics may be a factor. PCOS seems to run in families, so your chance of having it is higher if other women in your family have it or have irregular periods or diabetes. PCOS can be passed down from either your mother's or father's side.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I asked my mother about it. She said when she was younger, she used to have irregular period, but she ignored it. When she gave birth to me, her period became regular. So, I probably got it from my mother. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know this may sound crazy, but I miss having my monthly visitor. I feel like I'm not a woman without them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So yeah, the gynecologist prescribed me to try birth control pills. She gave me Althea, and I have to continue using it for three to four months, until my period becomes regular. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to the label, Althea is an oral contraceptive (obviously), and also an anti-androgen. So, it means Althea will fight with my acne and unwanted hair. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Adverse Effects</b></span></div>
<div>
Some women may experience side effects such as:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>nausea</li>
<li>vomiting</li>
<li>chloasma (melasma)</li>
<li>skin or hair changes</li>
<li>headache</li>
<li>water retention</li>
<li>slight weight change</li>
<li>breast tenderness</li>
<li>changes in libido</li>
</ul>
<div>
I really have high hopes that this will help me get my period back to normal, and eliminate the cysts on my ovary.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did not tell my mother about my appointment with the gynecologist, so she doesn't know a thing yet. But I already know that the moment she finds out that I am taking birth control pills, she will freak out!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And yes, she did! I just told her. When I called her and told her that I am taking pills, she didn't even let me finished my sentence and said "<i>Who the hell is your boyfriend? Why are you taking pills? Why not use a condom?</i>". I was just laughing and she was so mad.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I told her about the gynecologist appointment, the PCOS, and all the other details. She now understands it, but she said she's still worried that I may not get pregnant someday. Oh Mama! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today will be the first day that I will starting taking the pill. As soon as I finished the whole pack (21 pills = 21 days), I will make an update here and a review of Althea, hopefully. </div>

Well, I did! Selena Gomez is curvier now. She admit that she gained 10 pounds and she called it the "Zedd Pounds".<br />
<br />
Zedd is Selena's lover, if I'm not mistaken. According to Hollywoodlife.com, Zedd said that the curvier Selena, the better. He love the voluptuous figure of Selena, the singer herself is happier with her new figure.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>I love Selena's new figure. She's more real now. A woman should be curvy and not skinny as a stick. She's more beautiful, sexy and curvy in the right places.<br />
<br />
I guess being with Zedd is good for her than being with Justin.<br />
<br />

I feel too lazy to do anything, especially during PMS season (every month). So during those times, I don't like to dress up. If only I could, I would just stay in my room all day long.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My usual outfit during these times, is an oversized t-shirt and my high school P.E. pants. I'm surprised it still fits me despite all the weight I have gain. If you're lucky, you might also spot me being unmotivated to even comb my hair and wash my face. LOL. I'm embracing my weirdness here!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've always wanted a new pants for special days like this. Something I can be comfortable with and also something I can also wear whenever I feel like going out for a walk or run. Something that will motivate me to keep it moving even though it's quite challenging in times like I mentioned above. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I browsed around <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/marieclara1230/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and here are some stuff I'd like to have. </div>

I am so excited for her. Now, we have a tiny problem. We have to look for a perfect prom dress for her ahead of time. She asks me to help her find <a href="http://www.weddingshe.com/list/Red-Prom-Dresses-15583/" target="_blank">a hot color prom dresses to wear on a party</a>.<br />

I admire those ladies who can carry an elegant dress effortlessly, and to be honest I imagine myself to be that kind of lady.<br />
<br />
One of these days I will be able to wear an evening dress, finally! If things go well, my dream business will soon launch and of course, there will be a launching party; an evening one to be exact. I am already planning what to wear on that very particular event, a highlight of my life and career. I want it to be fabulous and memorable.<br />
<br />
So, I am already planning how the party should turn out. Invitations are in the making and a lot more party preparations are going on back doors. And of course, not to forget, I need to have at least three dresses to choose from.Good thing I found my way to a great website where they offer fabulous dresses to wear to an evening party with reasonable prices. <a href="http://www.weddingshe.com/list/Evening-Dresses-14354/" target="_blank">http://www.weddingshe.com/list/Evening-Dresses-14354/</a> So, here are my top three:<br />

This dress is perfect! It's simple yet elegant and not too revealing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hmmm. I did really give myself a hard time. The only problem now is which of the three dresses should I choose? What do you guys think? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, I'll just choose later. At least I was able to figure out my top three. I'm so thankful to have found <a href="http://www.weddingshe.com/" target="_blank">Weddingshe</a>. They just don't offer evening dresses but many many more varieties of dresses for different occasions to choose from. There are so many dresses there and you can choose something that is based on your personality or something that is out of your league (we ladies like to experiment sometimes, right?).</div>

Actually, one of my friend is tying the knot this December and she still don't have her 'ideal' wedding dress and I offered to help her even though I don't really have an idea what to do first and where to start looking for her ideal wedding dress.<br />
<br />
According to her, the ideal wedding dress (for her) is simple, elegant and somewhat vintage. Also, she doesn't want to spend more than $500 just for a wedding dress that she will wear only once. I told her, why not rent? She doesn't want to rent a dress on her special day.<br />
<br />
So, last night, I stayed up late to search online for her wedding dress. Thankfully, I found <a href="http://www.weddingshe.com/" target="_blank">Weddingshe</a>. They don't only have beautiful and affordable wedding dresses, but they also have vintage ones.<br />
<br />
Here are my top two favorites from them:<br />

When I showed my top two favorites to my soon-to-be bride friend, she couldn't stop smiling and she said I am the best. LOL. One thing we both like about these <a href="http://www.weddingshe.com/list/Vintage-Wedding-Dresses-112570/" target="_blank">dresses with vintage style on wedding</a> is that they are mostly below $500. <br />

This is Victoria, a friend of Marie's in New York! I did the <a href="http://marienternal.blogspot.com/2014/07/urban-decays-naked-and-naked-2-palette.html">review on the Naked palettes</a> not too long ago. Today, I wanted to do a review on a palette I recently bought from the Sephora line, called <b>Sephora's Moonshadow Baked Palettes - In The Tropics</b>. It is currently on sale on the Sephora website for about $15, originally sold for $27, and includes 10 shadow colors (I will list them starting from the top left in clockwise order) Peru, Belize, Barbados, Seychelles, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Fiji, Bermuda, and Grenada.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX9HycjLKx2PxVnc0vtzEGljYt027vbo4hQCQ4BOor0gHcRGseBTD5yjFl61YQxIqk3CpWoC2M66VIgXS_PNiR7sqlu6JiduF0JjUPwcYhug0FQtS859arfQA71c_YiCeL1to2VWYVV0U/s1600/sephora_palette.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX9HycjLKx2PxVnc0vtzEGljYt027vbo4hQCQ4BOor0gHcRGseBTD5yjFl61YQxIqk3CpWoC2M66VIgXS_PNiR7sqlu6JiduF0JjUPwcYhug0FQtS859arfQA71c_YiCeL1to2VWYVV0U/s1600/sephora_palette.jpeg" /> </a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a> I haven't had this palette for a while, the packaging is pretty and simple and could withstand bumps, it has a snap closure that may be difficult to open up but it's better than having a magnetic closure like the Naked palette had in my first review. So it is definitely luggage-safe! The colors in this palette are quite different from each other so I like to use three at a time for each day. My favorite three to use at the same time are Seychelles (light beige/brown), St. Vincent (sparkly off-white), and St. Lucia (kind of like a moon gray). All of the eyeshadows are very sparkly and I don't recommend them if you're looking for a matte look. The Grenada color at the bottom left is a very dark purple, almost like a black, and I would really only recommended if you were going to wear it close to the lash line, like an eyeliner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
All of the eyeshadows last throughout the day, but I have not yet tried them on without a primer underneath on my eyelids. Granada, Bermuda, and Fiji are three purple-ish colors that would look terrific paired together! My least favorite color is most likely the Peru color, the first color on the top left. It is a dark sparkly green that is way different than any of the other colors in the palette, so I can't really pair that color with any other colors in the palette, nevertheless it is a pretty color! Belize, Martinique and Barbados are the three colors that have an orange/gold tint to them, and look absolutely stunning paired together.<br />

<br />
The eyeshadows in the compact would suit any skin tone, and are very versatile. Overall this makeup palette is very pretty and I'm sure I will use it for casual wear and for parties, but I would not pay the money for it if it was full priced at $27. If you do not like eyeshadows that have a lot of sparkle to them, I definitely do not recommend these eyeshadows. Also, I know many people that like to wet their eyeshadows for a more dramatic look and intense color, I do not usually do that, but I did attempt to do with these eyeshadows, but that did not seem to enhance the color of the shadows. If anyone would like to see what the shadows look like on my eyes, feel free to leave a comment below and I will ask Marie to post them for me!<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for reading, I greatly appreciate it!

Right now, I'm 64 kg. I'm aiming for 55 kg. before the month of August says goodbye. I believe I can achieve that, especially that I am now motivated. I already started running again, some workouts and a balanced diet. I'm not depriving myself to eat, so if I want to eat something, I give in but I put a limit to how much I'll take in. I think that's a good start. Right? Let's bring sexy body back! ^_^<br />

My name is Victoria, my very good friend Marie asked if I could post something on here, specifically Urban Decay's Naked palettes which are extremely popular here in the United States! Although they are a bit pricey here in the US (currently $54 here!) many people manage to get their hands on one of these palettes. The Naked 3 palette was just released in early 2014, and I was looking forward to getting a hold of it as well, but to me, the theme of the colors displayed were not very appealing to me. Most were like a tan/gold shade and I knew I wouldn't make much use of it. I purchased both the Naked and Naked 2 palettes more than a year ago, and although I have used them everyday during the school year, there is so much product still left! I barely dented the eye shadows yet I use them almost every day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a name='more'></a>You see that the Naked palette is covered in a felt-velvet material, and is only held by a magnet. Both have mirrors in the inside (Naked 2 mirror takes up the entire inner cover of the case) while the Naked 2 palette is an all-metal compact case that snaps shut. If you had to choose a palette you could throw in a travel bag and not worry about opening up and making a mess of your clothes and other items, I recommend the Naked 2 palette. It is very durable (tons of dents on the back and corners from dropping it! Never once has it broken open though) and stays closed, unlike the Naked palette, which is flimsy and can be quite messy. I only recommend it if you will keep the palette in one place and it won't be taken anywhere.<br />
<br />

<br />
The colors of the Naked palette vary greatly, with some being more matte (Virgin, Naked, and Buck) while some very shimmery with quite a visual impact (Sidecar, Half-Baked, Smog, and Toasted). The colors I used the most were Virgin, Sin, Sidecar and Toasted, as they have more of a neutral tone that can go well with any outfit. I almost never used the dark shimmery Creep, as I never really go for a smokey eye look.<br />

On the Naked 2 palette, I actually popped out the Blackout color (it was identical to Creep) since I knew I would never use it and the powder of it cracked and dirtied up the other eye shadows. I absolutely adore the Naked 2 palette, I use all of the remaining colors in it and it is a great eye shadow palette to get if you just want to keep one at home or one to bring during traveling. The brush you get with it, unlike the original Naked palette, is a double-ended brush that is very high in quality. The packaging of this product gets an A++ from me! not like the flimsy, messy packaging of the other palette (although the colors in that one are absolutely beautiful as well). I did some swatches of the Naked 2 palette for you all to see how they looked! The shades could be built on to have a more dramatic effect, and they don't fade easily throughout your day.<br />

Both of these palettes last a very, very long time, I know it will be a long time until I use up all of the product, so I think with the quality, it is definitely worth the price! Urban Decay's eye shadows are the best eye shadows I have ever used, and as someone who lives near and visits New York City very often, I can say that I've tried many brands of popular cosmetics. I also had the wonderful opportunity of taking a spring course two years ago at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City for Cosmetics and Fragrance, so I learned so much there when it comes to cosmetics and what makes a good makeup product.

I know, I know... I've been hiatus in all my blogs, especially here. Ha! It's the freakin' summer here and believe me, the heat is cooking us alive. I sweat from head to toe, nonstop. Ha Ha Ha. That's why I don't dress up that much and do make-ups.<br />
<br />
While I was at Watsons, I saw this DermKlëns Skin Cleanser Advanced. I was intrigued because it's not like the other cleansers that I have used before. This one is like a cream. I forgot the exact price, sorry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rqtVPnJq39KEjp5ogy3GfzbIyZVcQ9jNKpVrd7BCyuZ_cqN8W5jrEV9He6wJLWyJUGh4FXJdwVymgRMsdLn5CVf5G0IiP0VwdhiQf7JdUlxlv8vikwMDysWpKCEtyaF-Q4qHr7UTVLs/s1600/DermKlens.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rqtVPnJq39KEjp5ogy3GfzbIyZVcQ9jNKpVrd7BCyuZ_cqN8W5jrEV9He6wJLWyJUGh4FXJdwVymgRMsdLn5CVf5G0IiP0VwdhiQf7JdUlxlv8vikwMDysWpKCEtyaF-Q4qHr7UTVLs/s1600/DermKlens.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>DermKlëns Skin Cleanser Advanced has Vitamin E and chamomile extract. It cleans, softens and soothes skin. Not only that, it also has no colourants, no perfume and no parabens. It is for all types of skin.<br />
<br />
The first time I used it, I thought it was like a lotion, but when I applied it in my face, it feels like I was just putting small amount of water in my face. It is indeed perfume-free because, you can't smell any scent when applying it in your face.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used it before bed time and after waking up. After continuous use for about one week, I already love the result. The acne marks in my face is less visible now, my face feels so soft and the part that I love most about it is that I don't have to wear any facial creams or make-up foundation to have that "selfie-ready" face. Also, my pimples are less noticeable now than before. I love it!<br />
<br />
If you want to try this product, try checking it out at Watsons near you!<br />

Guess what? Finally, after 647 years, I was able to have a change of nail art. Thanks to Tmart for giving me the chance to try out their 12 Colors Nail Art Polish Varnish Paints Set for free in exchange of my review.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a name='more'></a>Yes, that's the 12 pieces/colors of nail art polish that I received. I love it the very first moment I saw it. But, my first try was a total fail and I prefer not to post the picture of my own design. Ha! Ha! Ha! A friend of mine even said that my design looks like a watermelon shake. :D<br />
<br />
So, I asked my aunt Maris of <a href="http://maris-nailart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Maris' Nail Art</a> to do me a favor and design my nails using the products that Tmart has sent me. And so, she did.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
What do you think? I love the design. My aunt really loves to design nails and it used to be her hobby, now, she's making money out of it! :)<br />
<br />
<b>What I love about the polish varnish paints?</b><br />
<br />
It's very sleek, easy to carry and I honestly love the bright colors. It makes the nails very attractive. My aunt even wants to buy it from me but of course, since it is very useful for her, I gave it to her for free in exchange of regular nail arts for me.<br />

<br />
If I was asked to describe fashion, say, when I was in high school, I probably would have used adjectives like superficial and intimidating. Why, maybe because I was partly naive and partly unimpressed with the state of the fashion scene in our country back then. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about whether the designs were good or not. It's just that there wasn't anything special; and by that I mean, something more than brands merely providing people options for the basic necessity of clothing.<br />

<a name='more'></a>It seemed to me like fashion was nothing more than about wearing what people thought was beautiful and trendy. And sadly, this creative outlet was (and sometimes still is) used as a way to fit in, to be "in," a reason to be thought of as "cool." Some use it as a status symbol of sorts; a way to elevate their social standing.<br />
<br />
But times have changed in a major way, and so has fashion. The great thing about the fashion we see, know, and experience now is that from lifting one's social status, the end result has turned towards social awareness, even social change.<br />
<br />
If years ago, people would buy clothes based on style, quality, and price alone; today, the cause or advocacy a brand is championing also counts in consumers' decision-making. Competition is stiff. And we've reached a point where almost all imaginable styles have been done, making originality an extinct edge. Shoppers are now wiser, patronizing and supporting brands that are also aligned with their personal beliefs or advocacies and base their purchases on the background story of the products.<br />
<br />
As fashion designer Gianni Versace said, <b>"Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you. You decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live."</b> Fashion is often defined as a form of self-expression; you are what you wear, and what you wear speaks volumes about your character and your lifestyle.<br />
<br />
With more and more brands coming out with collections borne out of noteworthy causes, I'll definitely never see fashion the same way again. I've come to appreciate the power of the industry I once thought of as superficial. Fashion can bring people together and make creative minds meet in order to work on the industry's betterment. The success of all these initiatives and efforts lies in the number of people willing to join the movement.

I've been so busy lately that I have forgotten this world of mine. Given the fact that I am so busy with my tour guiding stints, I am also busy finding the perfect gift for my dear cousin who is a certified fashionista. His birthday will be in a few days from now but I still don't have a gift for him. He is very meticulous with everything.<br />

<a name='more'></a>He has been my fashion mentor. When he was still here with me, he always tell me what to wear from top, bottom and down to the shoes. He has awaken that sleeping fashion senses in me. Now that he is back to Iligan to resume with his studies, I miss him so badly.<br />
<br />
The good news is, he will be visiting me this March and I need to give him a present that I am sure he will like. I have been thinking for a while of what will I give him. I've been trying to reminisce our last memories together and I have recalled that he once mentioned how much he really liked <a href="http://www.zalora.com.ph/sanuk/" target="_blank">Sanuk</a> sandals because they're extremely comfortable to wear. He actually already has a few pairs back in Iligan but I was thinking of adding one more to his collection.<br />
<br />
And that's it... I'll be ordering his sandals from <a href="http://www.zalora.com.ph/" target="_blank">Zalora Philippines</a> since I'm very busy at the moment don't have time to go to the mall. I am very certain that he will be smiling from ear to ear once he get a hold of his new pair soon. I am so excited to see him. Just few more weeks! :)Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732688003819839792.post-74656310305609534302014-02-21T00:11:00.002+08:002014-02-21T00:11:52.605+08:00Some facts if you are into Online Shopping<center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<a name='more'></a>Two years ago, I started to shop online. I can still remember my first online purchase! It was an ankle-strap sandal from <a href="http://www.ebay.ph/" target="_blank">eBay PH</a>.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I didn't know at first that I needed a debit or credit card to purchase. By the way, I used my <a href="http://www.paypal.com/" target="_blank">PayPal</a> to pay for it but it is required that your PayPal should be verified. So, I have no choice but to get a debit card. It took so long before I get to hold my own debit card and my purchase was put on hold. </center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
So, it is really handy to do your search first for some facts if you want to try online shopping for the first time. It could save helluva lot of time. And if you feel that you're ready to hit the online shopping world, then go! :) I must say that online shopping is very addicting. It took lots of self-control to stop myself from browsing online shops. hahaha! :) </center>

This will be my first post for February. Yay! Been away for a while, too busy <a href="http://www.bislig-tours.com/" target="_blank">touring</a> (my new job when I'm not online).<br />
<br />
Since high school, I already knew about Veet but never tried it. Was too afraid to say <i>bye-bye</i> to my unwanted hairs. But since <a href="http://www.marienternal.com/2014/01/gillette-venus-embrace-sensitive-razor.html">I started shaving</a>, I did give Veet a shot! :)<br />

<a name='more'></a><b>The Price: </b>Php. 247 (100mL)<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Good</b><br />
Okay, as what stated in the direction, I put some cream in my skin and used the spatula to spread it. After 5 to 10 minutes, I used the end of the spatula (the pink end) and act as if I was shaving it. It's like a magic... I can actually see the hairs sticks in the spatula, and I felt no pain or any itch at all. My legs felt so smooth, plus no razor bumps too.<br />
<br />
<b>The Bad</b><br />
The smell. The product is great but it's smell is just too strong. A bit too much for my smelling sense, I think.<br />
<br />
<b>My Rating</b>: 5 out of 5.<br />
<br />
I have bought it at Watson's. I have decided to use this product regularly and stop shaving. It's definitely worth all the pesos I spent for it.<br />

All these moments have to be captured, otherwise is simply difficult to remember them all like they really were. Photography comes as a big help for all of us, to keep a record of our past, just like it was. If there were no <a href="http://www.markdelong.com/" target="_blank">New York photographers</a> back in 1932, taking pictures of how the skyscrapers were built, we would have no idea that in those times, the construction workers could take the lunch on the 69th floor of the RCA building, sitting on a girder, with no safety harness.<br />

Yes, I’m talking about the famous picture called “<a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Lunch-Atop-a-Skyscraper-Photograph-The-Story-Behind-the-Famous-Shot-170513696.html" target="_blank">Lunch atop a Skyscraper</a>”. Photography is an amazing process, which captures moments and makes them everlasting. This art today is surely different and it is not the way it was in 1932. Like everything else, it evolves, the cameras have evolved, the way we think has changed. The gadgets are a big part of our life today and basically every gadget has a camera. It is simply interesting for us to take pictures of everything we want and share them with many other people.<br />
<br />
Today we have the possibility to make photo effects, to add color, to change the lights and simply to play with pictures the way we like. As it is said in the beginning there are too many great moments, our life brings to us everyday and it is a pity to not take pictures of what makes us smile. After years and experiences every person would love to look back and would try to relive something again.<br />
<br />
That something can be a wedding, a birthday, the son’s first steps or just a silly dance under tequila influence. Anything that makes you laugh today, can be easily immortalized so you get the chance to feel the same emotions you had back when the picture was taken. Your eyes enjoy seeing what your soul loves. All the time you see a beautiful person, smiling in a photo, you instantly get to like this person. It seems like you know this guy so well, only after looking at the picture.<br />
<br />
It all can be a lie but still you liked what you saw. And that moment when you see a picture of some grilled shrimps you have always loved, you instantly start thinking about having it for dinner. That is why we keep doing pictures, we keep looking at them and moreover that is why we adore photography.Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732688003819839792.post-9987691941314383492014-01-26T14:57:00.000+08:002014-01-26T14:57:06.768+08:00Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive RazorGrowing up in a country where shaving (for the ladies) isn't really a big deal (until recently), I didn't give much attention to my hairy parts, especially my legs and underarms. I started shaving my underarms though when I was in high school because I can't raise my hands with these unwanted hairs in there and it is so awkward. But, not my legs. I always get scared to even think of shaving my legs because my mom always told me not touch it because if I ever shave it, it'll just get thick, so I didn't try and just let the whole world see my freaking hairy legs.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Before and after... look at that scary hairy legs of mine! >.<</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I did hesitated whether to not shave my legs or to shave it. The latter thought wins. The hairy legs has affected my self-esteem, big time! I can't wear shorts anymore, that's why I decided to say goodbye to them so I can say hello to my shorts again. :)<br />
<br />
As I expected, my mom freaked out when she saw my bare legs.. She told me that I'll regret it. I told her, I won't be lazy anymore and shave these legs regularly. My mom is a stage mom not only to me, but to all of us. I love the attention she's giving in every detail of my body, but sometimes it's irritating.<br />
<br />
Okay, let's get down with the razor. Hahahaha! Here's how it looks like:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The first time I looked at it, I know that I'm already in love. It doesn't look like my normal razor. Hahaha. By the way, it comes with two cartridges of blades.<br />
<br />
<b>The Good</b><br />
The fact that it is a 5-blade razor is way too good for me. It has a touch of aloe, which I can say that I feel it when I shaved. It says in their packaging that you'll feel less of irritation, even if you have a sensitive skin. And indeed, it is true. I feel less irritated.<br />
<br />
I tend to forget things easily. Especially the little details, like where I put my stuffs and often, I forgot where I put my razor. It is another plus for them that the package comes with a shower hook.<br />
<br />
<b>The Bad</b><br />
I think the only bad about this Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive razor is that the shower hook won't stick even if I put all my strength in it. It just won't stick in the wall. :(<br />
<br />
<b>The Lovely</b><br />
Oh, I bet you have an idea what's the lovely in here. For me, it is that it gave me soft and smooth finish. I love my skin now more than ever. I didn't even think that I'll ever feel this way when it comes to my skin.<br />
<br />
I thought it was just me, but after all it really was my razor. I think I have found the one for me.<br />
