Back to school is fast approaching!

My kiddo is officially enrolled and ready for the next school year. What's lacking though is the books and uniform but I'll worry on that later since school haven't started yet. Next stop is buying school supplies. It was very helpful that his teacher has already listed all the school supplies he needs at school coz it saves the time and money on shopping.



If you are going to buy school supplies at the National Bookstore, you might be interested in donating a school supplies for the children who are affected by the Typhoon Yolanda. National Bookstore Project Aral school kit includes 2 notebooks, 2 pencils, sharpener and eraser. This kit cost 25.00 (PHP). Your extra 25.00 can go a long way in helping kids in need.

I love it when Watsons has sale promos because I can save on some beauty necessities. Too bad though I didn't get to buy that flat and hair straightener which was on buy 1, take 1. If only I knew, if only I had the money. It would have been a huge saving and then I could just sell the free one. Previously, Bang and I was able to save a lot on the hair blower which was offered buy 1, take 1 also at Watsons.

Anyways, in this sale the items that I bought are wet tissues and hair brush.

I always buy Watsons wet tissue because it so handy and affordable. Bought this for buy 2, take 1.The hair brush, on the other hand, is in 30% off. Ive been planning to buy a durable hair brush and this sale gave me the chance to get it. It was really a huge saving.

You should watch out for sale promos at Watsons branches near you because it really save you a lot on beauty necessities.

Makeup tips for a Beyonce look:

• Color correct under your eyes with peach, coral or orange. For darker skin, use orange to balance out blue tones.


• Contour with taupe eyeshadow or blush right below the cheek bone.


• Bring black liner along lash line.


• Use some shine or shimmer in a metallic eyeshadow to bring some lift to the smokey eyeliner.


• Cut faux lashes into three sections and apply with a tiny amount of glue.


• Finish off with gloss.

Tips to straight that curly hair and achieve the Beyonce’s look.

• Wet your hair down.


• If your hair is curly, blow out the curl to give a smooth finish. Use a round hair brush with a lot of tension, and blow your hair straight.


• Add in some curl with hairspray. Use a ¾” inch curling iron, starting at the bottom of the hair, working to the top.


• Pin each curl to the scalp and let cool.


• Once cool, spray with hairspray, and brush out.

Nail polishing tips:

• File, shape and buff your nails.


• Apply oil to the cuticles.


• Use bronze and gold polishes to blend the perfect metallic look.


• Enhance the polish with different sizes and shapes of gold glitter at the tips of the nail (apply with a thin paint brush).


• Seal with a glossy top coat

Attended the free photography workshop that hosted by Colours Digital Foto last March 15 at Centrio Mall. It was limited to 100 registrant at first but due to the demand they increased Workshop slots to 300. I was able to register online when the in-store registration was already close. There a lot of photographers joined the actual event. And the good thing the workshop is that it was open for everyone even for a newbie like me. And I must say I learned a lot from the pro's although there are some topics Im having hard time to comprehend. Basically the workshop is all about the benefits in using flash photography. It was handy for me because I dont used much my flash because I was relying on the built-in flash in my DSLR camera.

They invited 3 great photographer in Philippines as speakers...
