hello benj

Here it is, ladies and gents! The much awaited (by nobody but I'm so excited for this that I'm exaggerating everything hahaha) Hello Benj Giveaway!!! I am so happy I get to do this for you, my dear readers. It's about damn time that I give something back to those who legit read my blog. But if you are a new comer, hello and welcome! This is where girls and guys who like art, beauty and mindless but mind blowing (told you, exaggerating) blabber from a twenty-something girla-loo hahaha I'm soo excited I'm spitting out words I don't usually use here on the blog! But oh, well :) Back to the giveaway!!!                             I divided the giveaway into two categories: Stationary and Beauty . They're two of my favorite things in the world. I would die (exaggerating again) if I was given free stationary supplies! Anyhoo, the first on the list is this set I call "The GirlBoss Set." Here we  have 2 To-D...

 I've decided to make the month of June all about self-care and self-love and to start if off, let me share with you my personal journey with trying to love myself. This is a bit lengthy so just a heads up. But if you can read until the end, let me know. Thanks again for being here, dear reader. I've heard it all.  "You could be a blogger. Just not a fashion blogger because you're not skinny enough." "Maybe if you were just more quiet, guys would like you." "You're such a mess." "You cheeks are too big." "Your nose spread out too much when you laugh." "You're charming. In a funny way." "You only look good in pictures." "Magaling ka kasing umanggulo" (You reaaalllyy know your angles.) I never felt that I was different until people made me realize that being the chubby friend , the "noisy" friend, the too-clingy friend was wrong...

I'm so ready for the new year to start! How is your evening so far? I'm super hyped up because of the the mini sparklers and the wine we just had. The holidays feel like it's coming to an end but who says we can't extend it even just for a little bit? And what better way to start your new year than to have a gift sent to you by Y-O-U??? Self-love represent !!! Earlier this December, I had the chance to try out Beauty MNL's site. It's probably the easiest online shopping experience I've ever had. You just have to choose, check-out, choose the mode of payment you want and that's it! I'm all for great customer service and Beauty MNL's CS is hard to beat. Read on for the ratings below and a mini haul! My baby and I all cozied up as we scroll and choose from over 300+ brands on the site! They have organic products that ranges from hair care, beauty tools, make-up and skin care. What more can a girl ask for? Here are the goodies I ...

 With the stressful rush of last minute holiday shopping, my Aunt and I found ourselves in this dazzling corner at SM Seaside as we were buying gifts for the family. I've been meaning to have my bacne (tmi? idc lol) cleaned and I couldn't find it in myself to spend a thousand for a session of pimple clearing. I'm just too much of a cheap-o when it comes to self-pampering. I'd rather spend Php.300 on a good, notebook than a facial TBH. But upon seeing Dermcare Luxe's prices (which were surprisingly affordable) I was sold.  I mean, srsly. Who would think that this sparkling, luxurious clinic was affordable? They have soft velvety chairs, crystal chandeliers, gleaming marble tiles and the inside of the clinic where they pamper their clients looks like a dream. Read on to see more! This is where they do the face related services.  This is where I lay down for 45 minutes as the "ate" prodded, pricked and scrubed the shit out of m...

Last Sunday, I was invited by my friend Gabe to M.Wilson Salon & Spa's 3rd year anniversary. I was late (as usual) but they gladly gave me a session of eyelash extensions the same day. They were fully booked that day so there was a waiting list but atleast before the session, I had time to do a shoot with Gabe's boyfriend, Karhlo. The photos are down below, so read on! Hi Gabe! I was lucky that day. Aside from the free food and service, I also scored a few shots from Karloh. He brought with him 35mm and 50mm lens and the shots looked so professional. I felt like a legit blogger lol! I think I'm putting new lens for my camera on my wishlist! TOP: Thrifted Pants: ForMe Choker: Diyed Slip-ons: SM Dept. Right after the photos were taken, I read my sister's copy of China Rich Girlfriend. It's now on my list of fave books. Kevin Kwan makes me laugh and envious at the same time. The lives of the ridiculously rich Asians and...
