My #2015BestNine Instagram photos

Hi there! How was the holiday so far?
Found something new to share to you all specially to those who are active in Instagram.
This year I have been more of an Instagram addict. Instagram is the first thing I check in the morning, the most use app in my phone the whole day and the last thing I check before going to sleep. Adding to my growing addiction to Instagram is when I read a blog (which I unfortunately forget the link) on some helpful tips on how to increase my Instagram followers and activities. I became more and more active by visiting and commenting others photos, which interestingly in return lots of other Instagrammers visit my account as well. From just a hundred of followers from early this year, Ive now had 635 followers from 4 months of applying the tips. 
Wheeew! Thanks to you if you are one of my followers, stalkers and visitors!
So anyways, as I have mentioned above I will share to you about the trending hashtag on both twitter and instagram... #2015BestNine! I bet you already saw this on lots of celebrities and popular personalities social accounts.

Gibi Shoes Fun Day in Cagayan de Oro


Happy weekend everyone? Anyone excited for the coming holidays? I bet most of you already enjoying shopping for your bonus or 13 month pay. :D

Last November 21, I and fellow CDO bloggers spent the afternoon with a quick chitchat with Ella Cruz and Jasmine Curtis before they head to GIBI Shoes Fun Day held at the Limketkai Center Rotunda.

Both Jasmine and Ella were so accomodating and friendly. They shared there favorite Gibi shoes of which Ella love the wedge sneakers while Jasmine are into flat shoes. They have also shared that before they endorse Gibi shoes they are already an avid wearer of Gibi Shoes because its reliable and of great quality that last. Jasmine most specially loves to support locally made products.





After the quick chitchat, they went to Limketkai Center where fans and Gibi shoes lovers are waiting for them. The event was filled with great performances from Gibi shoes endorsers Ella Cruz and Jasmine Curtis. Fans was able to get the chance to play with Ella and Jasmine.








After the event, fans was given a chance to meet, greet and have a fan sign with Ella and Jasmine.




On my next post, I'll share my outfit and a shop tour at Gibi Shoes Limketkai Center.
Check out the next Gibi Fun Day at the Gibi Shoes stores near you by following them on social media.

#BeautyChitchats: Myra Facial Wash


Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
For today's post will be sharing a new beauty product I just tried. 
I always appreciate and get so excited when I received gifts like this because its a chance for me to try and test new products.
Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash has Moisture Plus formula that retains and seals in skin’s natural moisture, keeping it hydrated and more supple. Contains French Spring Sea Water and Aloe Vera Extract that improves skin elasticity and helps keep it smooth and young-looking 
Myra VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash has Biowhite Complex which is derived from plant extracts that gently whitens skin. And has Niacinamide that evens out skin tone by reducing red blotches to make skin more radiant. 
What's great about the Myra Facial Wash is that the packaging is in easy to squeeze tube. And the expiration date is very visible at the back which secures you that the product is safe to use. 
I have tried using both products and here's what I can say...

Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash
Has a fresh and mild scent. 
Has a foamy consistency.
My skin feels smooth when putting it on your face. It doesnt have the sticky feeling which other facials does.
My skin feels so fresh and soft after using it. That obviously makes me love this facial wash and will surely buy this next time!  

Myra VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash
Has a mild fruity scent.
Has a foamy consistency.
This probably is recommended for oily skins because my face feels very dry after using it.
I haven't tried VitaWhite's whitening effect because I prefer to continuously use the VitaSmooth. 



Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash and VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash are available at all leading supermarkets, drugstores, and department stores nationwide.
