La vie en rosé ♡

Motivating myself and getting back to my old habits.

I’ve gone to different articles and videos tackling about creative pursuits and all of them pretty much say the same thing: “Practicing creative pursuits every day will make you happier.” And as you know,  I’m all about seeking happiness (and I think everyone does the same)

The funnest film that I had seen in a long while! If you are fan of basketball from the 80's and early 90's then this is the film for you. It was just a pleasant film. It wasn't angry and complex. It was easy and fun and left me feeling good and sometimes that is all I need from the cinema. I saw this last sunday with my boyfriend and was glad that we did. 

Kick back and take some time out to review your goals and recharge for the next half of the year by indulging in some much needed -TLC. Try these DIY treatments that’ll make you feel good (and pampered) all over.

How to... Give Yourself a facial

First, cleanse your skin. Start off with a gentle, mild cleanser to get rid of “superficial” dirt and grime on your face.

Then, exfoliate your skin to get rid of impurities that can’t be seen on the skin surface. When exfoliating, concentrate on your T-zone and also on your chin as these areas have pores where dirt easily seeps in. Massage these areas gently, then rinse off. Make sure to get rid of residue.

As my lack of posts (and completely disregarding my posting schedule) may give away, offline I’ve had a lot going on. While there have been some wonderful things that have really put a smile on my face, there’s also been some moments I had just want to curl up in a ball and eat all of the chocolate in the world. So with this in mind, as I’m heading off for a weekend away with my boyfriend or friends this weekend, I thought it would be the ideal time to focus on the positives. The past months was filled with good memories with my loveones that I’m very grateful of; Highlights of my April, May and June were:

Life is indeed beautiful and wonderful. Thus, exploring more of myself through travels is one of my goals as I enjoyed my years being in 20s. With that said, Nothing was more rewarding than spending my summer staycation this year at Pico de Loro Cove at Hamilo Coast, Nasugbu, Batangas.

 I had never thought of visiting this admired property too soon but I was so lucky to be given a privilege to visit this upscale destination and spend a night along with a loved one. It was a weekend of relaxation, exploring new things and appreciating more of Mother Nature. It was a superb getaway that I’ve been looking forward way way way back. 

It was one sunny Sunday when our feet brought us to this artsy fansy place in Antipolo City. I have been hearing great stories about this awesome place that made me so eager to pay a visit.  It’s something that we both wanted to do as early as last year but just haven’t had the chance to until last weekend. I am so happy to tick off Pinto from my bucket list!

I’m getting really bothered with my lack of blog posts lately but I do have tons of things to do on my plate, especially at work! My full time job gets more and more interesting and I’m loving every learning I’m gaining from it but sometimes, the feeling of exhaustion is inevitable that even if I plan to write a blog post for a particular week night, I will end up choosing sleep due to my tired state, both from my job and from the commute I have to do (and endure) everyday.

Before 2018 entered, I promised myself to commit to quite a lot of things, and my ultimate goal is to be consistent with my love for the analog. For the first three weeks of this year, I think I am doing a good job for this goal but I am not satisfied. My creative journal lacks consistent writing even though it contains new decorative spreads for January. Since I am usually tired from work, I can’t face my journal that well. I keep on putting the thought of filling those entries on the weekend, since it’s my day off. We’ll see. I’m still working on this disappointing attitude of mine, though.

Oh, I also have decided to dedicate one portable notebook to record my weekly life events and such. It’s always nice to practice appreciating the little things in life! Writing everything down helps me remember the moment and what I felt during those times, no matter what kind of emotion that is.

I think month of Feb gone past me by so fast, But I’m happy I get to spend it with the people I love.

It’s valentines season again! Whether you have a special date planned with your honey or are just hoping to catch the eye of your crush, these get gorgeous techniques will help you feel confident and look like a star.

Two weeks before V-Day

Get a haircut.Head to the salon and ask your trusted stylist to give you a quick trim to maintain up your ‘do. By the time your big daterolls around, your colf will look fresh and cute -- not heavy or blunt.

Shop for an outfit. Whether you want to wear jeans and a cute top or a sexy dress, head to the mall and try to find something that you feel comfortable and beautiful in. If you don’t need or want to buy anything new, just use your window shopping experience as an inspiration.

One week Before V-day

Retouch your roots. If you colored your hair or have afew gray strands you need to cover up, try an at home coloring kit.

Smoothen up. If you’re not a fan of lotion start slathering it on daily you’re your shoulders shoulders until your toes. Make it a habit to do it post shower so your skin can absorb it better,too.

Five days before V-day

Facial time! To score a glowing complexion (and prevent breakouts), give your face some primo pampering. Start by pouring some hot water in a large bowl and bringing the steam up to your face for a bout 5 minutes. Then use an exfoliating wash facial scrub to gently get rid of dry skin and flakes. Finish by patting a moisturizer gently, to boost circulation and get a rosy flush.

Get waxed. It’s no secret that excess body hair is a definite turn-off. To keep unwanted hair away for weeks, try zipping it off with wax. While the pain factor may be a bit higher, It’ll be worth it since the hair grows back and slower and less course.

Three days Before V-day

Deep Condition. For sleek strands that’ll be easy to style, try using a home hair treatment like Keratin Shampoo, It’ll zap frizz so your colf will look straight and smooth. Plus you’ll get the effect of rebonding without having to shell put some major cash.

Practice your makeup. To avoid major boo-boos, try playing around with the makeup look you had in mind for your date. Keep in mind that most Pinoy men don’t like it too heavy, so stick to the basics: foundation, a hint of shadow and liner, curled lashes, a light blush and pink lips.

One day before V-day

Get a Mani-Pedi. Pretty tips and toes will help shoe your date that you pay attention to details and make an extra effort to llok your best. Just make sure you do it the day before to help lessen the chance of chipping your polish.

Exfoliate. A yummy smelling slougher will help you destress and get you in mood for romance. Pro tip: Do it while your body is dry to get rid of the dry patches and score super smooth skin.

The Big Date!

Pack right. Before heading out, make sure you have all the essentials you’ll need in your purse: a powder compact, breath mints, lipstick, a fully charged phone and extra csh in case of emergencies.

Hey I just passed my first ever Job Interview, your girl is employed now haha I’m very happy so I want to share how you can ace yours! ;)

A lot of job work experts say that first impressions count during a job interview. Your potential employers have reviewed your resume and were impressed. Now, you have to impress them more -- and ace that interview -- through a face to face interaction. Some key things to remember:

Stand Up Straight -- but not arrogantly or with angas. This is a job interview, not The Philippines’ Next top Model: You want to impress your interviewers, not intimidate or turn them off, Sloughing might give them the impression that you’re lazy and not that interested in the position.

Smile  A pleasing personality will always reel in others and draw them to you. Smile sincerely, and always be aware to wipe off any signs of frowning or scowling on your face. Plus, don’t be plastic: Interviewers know how to read people, so they can tell right off if your smile isn’t genuine.

 I’ve started this Fitness journey of mine recently, I’m just on Day 15 and I can already see positive results. I want to share this WO for those who are skinny and want to gain weight like me, And for those who just want curvy shape on their body. Plus, I added a Healthy Diet Meal plan to also help you gain weight

I'll be sharing today my kinda beauty routine and women must-haves, so enjoy! These are only pics from my style manual and still I'm happy to share it to you.

Hygiene is totally important ladies, Im not that thoroughly consistent with this schedule/plan but I always make sure that I have time for myself/ to pamper myself, give me a tender and loving care that It deserves. And I'll instantly feel glowing inside and out. 💖

Here’s bits and pieces of what ‘s happening in my life lately

I can’t say that January was a free trial month like what I’m expecting of haha, because man It’s like I’m really faced to a new and exciting world. 

I’ve got few dates and a lot of catchin up that was really really fun!!! 

Me and my sister are roaming around the city finding cafe’s, goin on mini shopping, and just having chikas of life and her school while going on window shopping. Haha

My boyfriend and I tried a Sambokojin buffet restaurant, I had a lot of fun grilling shrimps actually. We were on attack mode at the beginning  and I was barely breathing afterwards.

I had fun nights and some drinks, with my friends we were reunited and I just can’t stop laughing the whole night. Also I spend our CIty’s feista at my cousins house, non stop chikas the whole night, literally.

One of the highlights of my January was our Oath taking Ceremony as a newly registered Nurse, It was when I’ve received my license that “Wow Im really a nurse rn” haha It just opened doors for everything, I dont have to think were my path is leading me cause I can already see it.

I just survived my first ever job interview!!! Haha. But there’s still a FINAL interview so much luck for me! 

This year I think I’ll be stepping out of my comfort zone.. I picked a job location which is a 30-45 mins drive away from my home, so I’ll be travelling and familiarizing the new environment alone. I’m just thrilled and so excited right now.

Moreover, this year starter just made me realized that..  

 It’s the little things.

You might have missed feeling joyful because you were waiting for something extraordinary to happen. But to Brené, “Joy comes to us in moments – often ordinary moments. Sometimes we miss out on the bursts of joy because we’re too busy chasing down extraordinary moments.” More often than not, it’s the little things that really matter.

Having said that, here are three things I’m grateful for so far this month:

I’ve got to be there to celebrate special moments of my friends and love ones  (Ianne and Paul’s Birthday, City’s fiesta)

Once chapter of my life ended, and Ive just achieved my dream/goal. Its time for me to walk on this new chapter of my life.
