Crop It Like It's Hot

This past year and up until now I've been seeing a lot of crop tops taking the fashion arena by the storm. Everywhere I look or when I browse online, women are sporting this trend that reminds me somewhat of the 90s era where midribs were the in thing. I was a kid or teen back then and a chubby one at that which didn't allow me to wear one back in the day. Well up until now that is still the case so I still couldn’t wear them. But yeah if I had the body I would.

Crop tops are clothing items where the lower part is falls high enough to expose the waist, navel or some of the mid section of the torso. It is generally limited to female garments, but if men want to wear them, no one's going to stop them hahaha!

Exile Creamerie Co.

Being in exile is a situation in which you are forced to leave a place and go live in a foreign place. This might sound a bit harsh, but there are times when you get that feeling to just leave everything behind and go somewhere where you know nobody or to place you have no idea how to traverse. Or being in exile may mean going to your safe or happy place and just be alone away from the noises of this world. And maybe, just maybe, you will meet new faces who will make you feel like you're not lost in this crazy life. 

Speaking of exile, I was recently invited to this hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Katipunan, Q.C. which happens to be named Exile on Main St. This branch is their second and the first one is in Malate. Both (though I haven'tbeen tothe Malate branch) exudes a different kind of world with its interior design. It's like going through that rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland.

For the June Bride

OMG! Time really flies so fast; it's almost June and we're halfway through 2016! Besides being the cue that the rainy season (well at least in my country) is upon us, June also is the month for weddings. In my country, it's rare that people get married in June because the weather can get very unpredictable and no couple would want their wedding to get ruined by rain so a June wedding doesn't happen that much. Probably in some other countries were June is the start of summer. 

In any case that you know a bride who's getting married this June which I suppose you'll be attending some sort of a bridal shower, and you don't know what to give as a gift, well well well, I'm here to the rescue. My bestfriend's getting married this October and of course we're gonna throw her some awesome bridal shower; but as early as now, I'm already thinking of ideas on what to give her. I stumbled upon this site DevilPlus.com that sells some sexy lingerie offering items fit to give any future bride on her shower. No pun intended, and just for fun.

An Ode To Summer...

I am mourning, grieving and depressed... Ok, I am just exaggerating. But yes, I am a bit sad that the summer season has ended in this part of the world. I will never be fond of the cold, gloomy rainy season no matter how people will convince me that it's better because the weather ain't that hot and humid. I am a summer kind of girl and no one can ever change that.

It's frustrating that I was not able to lay my feet on soft white sand this summer because I'm so tied up with work and that my friends are really good at just being excited about our beach plans nothing materialized. LOL! Anyway, the good thing about living in the Philippines is that you can always hop in to a car or bus and go to the nearest beach. We got 7,107 islands and you can never run out of beaches to choose from. Also that since it lies in the tropics, the weather is, most often than not, beach-perfect.

Heliophile Diary: My Zaful.com Summer Wishlist

Are you a pluviophile or a heliophile? A pluviophile is someone who loves the rainy days; where they can just hang out at home, enjoy the cold weather and chill. On the other hand a heliophile are sun-worshipers. People who loves the sunny weather and take joy from the heat of the sun rays hitting their skins.

I have mentioned this one too many times that I really don't like the cold or rainy weather. It kind of brings me down, because it makes me feel gloomy and sad. It also sort of hinders me to do anything. When it rains I don't want to do anything not even move a damn muscle. So yeah, even if the sun might damage my skin, I consider myself as a heliophile.

I Got Whipped!!!

I love beauty products and treatments that are all-natural. I am a self-confessed DIY-er and I have tried a lot of home-made beauty solutions and remedies which are all effective so far. Well, these natural beauty enhancing products have been tried tested even dating back to ancient times. Like the use of sugar, honey and lemon to enhance one's skin condition.

I love that there has been a recent trend of business ventures that are embracing the concept of food and integrating them into beauty services and such. Just like this newly opened waxing and scrub salon in BGC named Whipped.

It's real... summer is officially over in my country... It has been raining for the past few days and tbh it sucks big time, well at least for me. I don't like the rain, I never did... It makes all moods gloomy and it restrains you from doing most things with ease. Bot to mention the hardship of travelling to and fro because of the heavy traffic it causes around the metro.

The only good thing about it is that my itching-feet-that-are-always-wanting-to-go-out is kept at bay at home. When that happens I either just sleep it off or I am glued to my phone or computer -- Which what happened these past few days. That I gave me ample time to finish all my blog backlogs and I only have 2 more left to write.

Isla Una - Island Vibes and Filipino Comfort Food

I don't know with you guys but where ever I am I would always rather be at the beach. I seek it and even the thought of it makes me miss it so much. I know for a fact that in another parallel universe I am a mermaid because I have this longing of becoming one with the sea. Whenever my feet feels sand underneath it, a sort of calm and peace envelopes my soul. Unfortunately for me, I am not able to got to the beach this summer because of my work schedule. Plans to go hit the shores are not until later this year. So yeah, what a bummer...

But I recently went to a place that gave me the almost complete island vibe I am missing way too much. I was invited to this newly opened restaurant in City Golf named Isla Una located at Julia Vargas Avenue in my hometown of Pasig City. It absolutely assimilated all the feels of being in a restaurant that could be found on the beach, but sans the beach and the sea. 

Get The Real Glow In You with KB

I am not sure if I am vain, but a lot of people might think I am and that I am high maintenance too. Probably because I give effort to how I look like or what I want to wear. I dunno but maybe I was just reared this way and I am not gonna apologize for that. This is who I am and that doesn't mean it's wrong.

I have lots of insecurities too, yeah, JUST LIKE ANY PERSON IN THIS WORLD. But I am slowly learning to embrace my flaws and loving the body I am blessed with. Although I have to admit I still want to make improvements physically. That ain't a problem too because it's how anyone progress somehow. I don't make it a goal to have perfection but some progress wont hurt right?
