Find the Perfect Watch for Every Style

I rarely wear accessories. If I ever wear one it would be just my watch. For a while now, I have been using my Esprit Rose Gold watch. I also have my leather Guess watch and some silver watch I used for different occassions.

My everyday watch from Esprit.

I find it so easy to work with watches to match my style and it does not feel too much for me. I don't feel comfortable with too much accessories that is why I keep it a point to never forget to wear my watch. Here are some of the ways I wear my watches, depending on where I am going and what my mood is.

For Casual Days: If you're style is more on the simple and comfortable side, then you are a minimalist. Not too fancy but still elegant. My casual days include window shopping in the mall, doing errands, or just going to other places. 

For Sporty/Adventure Days: I am a sporty and adventurous type of girl so I enjoy the outdoors and sports. When outdoors, a watch needs to be strong enough to weather temperature, and terrain. So a watch needs to be waterproof, and durable. If you are looking for a sports watch you may try G-Shock or Baby G brands. 

For Formal Events: A watch can either make or break an outfit in a formal attire. It would either be too chunky for your long gowns or too loud for your cocktail dress. I actually have a difficulty in matching my long formal dresses with my watches. But in my wishlist are some thin bracelet type of watches that can be worn with long gowns. 

So a watch is a practical and stylish accessories a person can wear to complete their look. It is an easy accessory which serves a purpose for everyone. But getting the right style for your personal style can be challenging at times. Luckily Ensogo Philippines answers our prayers.

Ensogo Philippines offers as part of their Philippine Online Shopping festival discounts and deals on different branded watches like Marc Jacobs, Casio, G Shock and more.

Breast Cancer Awareness: Celebrate with Songs of Hope

It is such an unfortunate thing that more and more people are becoming victims of the big C or Cancer. It is alarming as well that it seems everyone can be hit by this illness. Personally, I have two relatives who had cancer, one of lung cancer and the other of breast cancer. Regardless of the kind of cancer, it is sad that people leave this world because of it. I remember crying over my aunt and uncle, because they were still very young, they have so much more to do in life. 

But in any despair, there is hope. Advanced medical treatments are making it easier for more patients to survive Breast Cancer, but these methods are quite expensive. Because of this, most people cannot afford the procedure. External factors like the present economic state of the nation, the issue of inflation and taxes, or that they are either unemployed or are working for minimum wage or less are not helping things either. It is heartbreaking to know that many individuals choose to ignore Breast Cancer because they would rather use whatever money they have to feed their families or pay the bills.

It is through the efforts of other people who promote and advocate breast cancer awareness that patients and their families tries to get by. If you want to help in your own little way, you can start by supporting a joint project or Resorts World and Lyric Opera of the Philippines. Chino Toledo and the Grupo 20/21 Orchestra will join musical artists like Jose Mari Chan, Anica Ordan, Franco and Ayen Laurel and Ana Feleo in presenting a Christmas-themed concert where proceeds from the ticket sales will fund the chemotherapy for the patients. Each ticket you buy will send one Breast Cancer patient to that much needed medical treatment. The catch is that the project will only push through if at least 1,200 tickets have been sold.

The ticket prices are as follows:

Total Seats - Price

SVIP 267 -PHP 3,000 

VIP 288- PHP 2,800 

GOLD 280 -PHP 2,500 

SILVER 439 -PHP 2,200 

BRONZE 126 -PHP 2,000

Let us help in pushing thru with this concert and assist one Breast cancer another treatment that will give them another to live with their families and loved ones. 

Buy and register your tickets at www.kasuso.org and if you may please use this code: CelebrateHope045 so they would know it is thru my blog that you knew of the event. 

“Celebrate with Songs of Hope: A Christmas Fundraising Concert” will be held at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila on December 16, 2015. The event will start at 7:30pm as part of an ongoing campaign to fight Breast Cancer, a disease that has claimed thousands of lives over the years. The organizers aim to educate people about the symptoms of Breast Cancer, and what they can do to survive it. Each ticket you buy will send one Breast Cancer patient to much needed Chemotherapy Treatment.

Up&Up Cream is Now Here!

Encouraged by the success of Up&Up Skin Lifting Serum by Yuyu Healthcare Inc., Riantique Global Inc. CEO Ria Castrillo brings yet another effective beauty treatment to the Philippines: Up&Up Cream.

According to Castrillo, “the demand for an effective beauty treatment that specifically to keep the wrinkles from showing is relatively high.”

She said Up&Up Cream, adds to Filipinas’ options for a non-surgical skincare solution “that is both safe and easy on the pocket. Up&Up Cream is one product that you can trust to enhance beauty and restore youthful glow in an instant without the need for surgery.”

“Up&Up Cream has been clinically proven safe to use on all skin types by Sae Myung Herbal Biology Industrial Clinic in Korea,” Castrillo said. “This high-potency skin-firming concentrate quickly penetrates the skin’s surface to improve its elasticity. It visibly lifts skin, smoothes its surface, fills up wrinkles, reduces pore size and regenerates skin collagen and elastin. After application, results become visible in seconds. With continued use, skin retains its youthful glow.”

“Some women peak early, while others blossom later,” Castrillo noted. “All in all, we should be on a journey of continued growth and exploration. We have in control of our lives at 40. Up&Up is there to keep us confident where most of us are at the peak of attaining our greatest achievements in most areas of our lives, and where we can definitely enjoy the fruits of our labor.”

While several beauty products on the market do offer collagen and elastin among their ingredients, Up&Up Cream “is new and unique,” Castrillo said. “I haven’t seen any in the market which instantly improves your skin at watching with your own eyes. It has a unique packaging, in the shape of a syringe without the needle.”

Up&Up Cream “also contains arbutin and other healthy botanicals known to aid skin rejuvenation like adenosine, green tea extract, ade aluminum overrijissel sumip, trehalos, dynalift, chamomile extract, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera extract,” Castrillo said. “It is naturally made, to ensure that it is free from parabens, mineral oils, silicon, triethanolamine and artificial coloring.”

Model Marina Benipayo has tried Up&Up Cream and said in an interview that it “definitely felt like Up&UP Cream was starting to treat my face to an avalanche of vitamins to improve it.”

“During the second week, I noticed my face was clearer and younger-looking,” Benipayo said. “Now that I’ve been using Up&Up for a month straight, I noticed my skin is healthier and in much better condition.”

“My skin is definitely not the same as it was 20, 10 and five years ago,” Benipayo added. “But I’ve always believed that proper diet, the right kind of exercise, lifestyle and outlook in life are big contributors to feeling and looking young. At 47, I almost never get too exposed to the sun, I sleep and rest as much as I can and reserve it for only the most important things like family and work. I don’t take in alcohol and stay away from negative stresses. I’ve also been more picky with the products I use on my face.”

Based on her experience with the product, Benipayo said: “I think Up&Up Cream will give its competitors a run for their money. It’s an effective product, very suitable for Asian skin, and has absolutely no downtime at all. I can use it any time of the day—in the morning, evening, before I put on makeup. It’s an instant vitamin treatment for the face.”

Benipayo dispenses some sage advice, too. “Accept your age and take the best care of yourself that you can by following the basic needs of the skin and body: Proper skincare, diet and exercise.”

“I always knew that maintaining a level of beauty and confidence entails a lot of work and love for self,” she said. “Now that I have these Up&Up boosters, I know that my skincare regimen will be easier to maintain. I do not have to use other products like eye creams, skin-lifting serums and moisturizers: Up&Up can replace all of them now.”

Children's Playground at UN Avenue: A Hidden Gem for Families

Last Friday, we brought Enzo to see a new pedia in Aventus, UN avenue. After his short consultation, we decided to bring him to the near Children's playground just a stone throw away from Aventus. I have been in the Children's playground when I was still single. It was a perfect opportunity for us to bring Enzo. 

It only cost PHP10.00 and has a wide space enough for families to enjoy the park and each other's company. The playground has a lot of slides, tunnels, and areas to go around in. It's also a great photo opportunity for children and families. 

It is also allowed to bring in food inside so a picnic is suitable for it. The trees make it shady and windy so it really is relaxing. Just prepare some alcohol, wet wipes, and a change of clothes because the kids will surely get messy and dirty afterwards. I also encourage you to put on mosquito repellant as there might be threats there so it would be better to be on the safe side. Also take a close watch of your children while in the playground.

Make Up Basics for the Busy Woman with Ensogo Philippines

As a working mom, I keep with myself basic makeup products that help me look fab and polished in minutes. I only have about six (6) steps in doing my makeup which takes about 10-15 minutes everday. I'm a no-makeup makeup person and all natural makeup kind of person. I like to to keep my face flawless, my eyebrows looking natural and my eyes just bright and awake. I also make my blush and lipstick just on the fresh side so I don't overwhelm my students while I teach. (Haha!;) 

In choosing make up products I go for the easy, handy, and affordable ones. Something I can use for a long time and which can take me from day to night looks. 

I do my make up before teaching and it stays for the rest of the day. As I have my mind on work already, my makeup is the least of my priorities so it is a good thing that I often only retouch my blush and lipstick within the day. I think most working moms would agree when I say putting on makeup should not take too much of our time. 

Luckily, Ensogo Philippines offers a variety of makeup products in their site. It makes shoppinh easy for me because I don't have to go to the mall and buy my makeup basics. They carry alot of make up products from over-the-counter brands to luxury items. 

For some basic makeup, here are some of my suggestions: 

They also have products from Maybelline with ongoing promos and discounts. 

See there is really no more excuse in not looking pretty or beautiful even on our busiest days, because of the convenience of online shopping. So the next time you'll be needing your beauty fix or replenishing your make up basics, better check Ensogo Philippines for the best deals in the Metro!;) 

Also, use my code for more discounts until November 17!;)
