My Mondays are usually like this:
I sleeeppppp my heart out from 6am til 6pm. That’s how I prepare for another manic workweek in the office. I wake up to freshly brewed coffee, my exploding e-box, and yes, Facebook. Oh and yes, gifts and media samples too.
(gotta say this in the highest, most annoying teeny bopper voice) Uh-huh…I kinda live like a princess on most days. 
Just imagine waking up to this:
Do you purchase backups even before you’re halfway a (super) wow product? I do. 
Some people say it’s a waste while I personally call it the girl scout move — you can never tell when you’ll need more of what you have. Or when it will go hide beneath your makeup jungle. :]
I fumbled around this thought for a while and if I had to pick 2 awesome finds I can’t afford to run out of, it would be:
1. Rosebud Salve (Php 450, Iora) — the best thing ever invented for your lips, skin, and even rough hands!
my hands says — PEEKABOO!
Since Be Delicious was launched when I was in college (pretty much a long time ago), it’s never left my boudoir. I’m painfully in love with its fresh, crisp, yet uber chic scent. Just imagine how my heart skipped when I saw the limited edition bottle* that’s as fun and delish as the fragrance! :]
Are you ready to flip-flop your way to a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Brazil?
The answer better be yes as world-famous fashion brand Havaianas kicks off its new Happy Soles campaign.
This campaign celebrates the fact that Havaianas has been both a witness and a reminder of Filipinos’ happiest moments. A constant companion on everything from beach trips to food trips, Havaianas has trekked up mountains, walked down wedding aisles and danced under the pale moonlight. For many happy soles, Havaianas is a daily reminder of moments spent with friends and filled with laughter – moments that define who we are.
And in an effort to be present in even more unique life experiences, Havaianas kicks off the Happy Soles campaign with a creative competition titled “Happy Soles Will Travel to Brazil.” Answer the question “If anything was possible, what would you do to make the world happy for a day?” as creatively as possible and you could get the chance to win an all-expense-paid vacation for four to the land of sunshine, Brazil.
The winner, along with three friends, will fly to Brazil on an unforgettable, all-expense-paid retreat, complete with travel must-haves from Havaianas, Sony, David and Goliath, and Aloha Board Sports. The group of friends will get to experience the cool climate of cosmopolitan Sao Paulo and the endless summer of Rio de Janeiro in quirky clothes from David and Goliath, and stylish resort wear from Aloha Board Sports. Not only will they stay in chic, boutique hotels and dine at world-class restaurants, the four friends will also visit Oscar Freire Street, home to Brazil’s fanciest boutiques, where they will enjoy a shopping spree at the Havaianas Concept Store. A visit to Daslu, a super luxurious shopping mecca is also on the agenda. In Corcovado Mountain, they will get to see the Brazilian icon, Christ the Redeemer, and record the priceless memory with their Sony CyberShot cameras. They will also experience everything from the football madness at Morumbi and Maracana to the breath-taking tropical landscape of Jardim Botanico, a UNESCO site, and the laid-back beach culture of different world-renowned beaches like Copacabana. The winner will also be able to share these memories with ease, with a new Sony HandyCam camcorder and Sony Vaio laptop, and even a new Sony Walkman mp3 player to bring home the sound of Samba.
Answers can be recorded via the Havaianas roving video booth that will travel to key malls nationwide or uploaded on the campaign website: www.havaianasphilippines.com/happysoles. The top ten happiest and most creative entries will be shortlisted by a board of judges that includes a representative from the Brazilian Embassy, magazine editor Pauline Suaco-Juan, travel blogger Anton Diaz, Capoeira guru Professor Fantasma, and the Managing Director of Havaianas Philippines. The public will then decide who of the ten will be awarded the grand prize through online voting at the campaign website. The remaining nine finalists will also walk away with prizes from Havaianas and new Sony CyberShot cameras.
“Havaianas has always had the privilege of being with Filipinos during their happiest moments – at the beach, in malls, at home, practically everywhere. We wanted to create the happiest possible experience through this unique, luxury vacation to Brazil,” says Anne Gonzalez, Managing Director of Havaianas Philippines.

Who would’ve thought that airbrush makeup can be done by just right about anyone? The ladies from GlamBox Airbrush Cosmetics definitely did!
Andrea and Valerie of GlamBox Airbrush Cosmetics
Airbrush makeup is the next generation of makeup. Once developed solely for the TV and film industry to hide skin flaws under dramatic lighting or new technologies like HDTV (High Definition TV), airbrush is ahead of traditional makeup in terms of both effective coverage and feel.
Since airbrush makeup is sprayed on as fine mist over the skin, it produces a natural flawless complexion. It doesn’t rub into the skin or emphasize pores and it allows the skin to breathe through its light texture.
You may have only heard of airbrush from a makeup professional or a bride who spent a steep price on a session for her wedding day. So, when you hear of airbrush make up, you immediately assume that you don’t have the skill to handle it or that it’s going to cost you.In the past, airbrush systems have been expensive, complicated and hard to find. But now with the GlamBox Airbrush Kit you can easily achieve professional looking coverage and face color every day at the comfort of your home.
The GlamBox Airbrush Kit is compact, handy and really easy to use. Best of all, it was created with the everyday woman in mind so it definitely comes with a reasonable price tag.
The GlamBox Makeup Line currently comes in: four foundation colors, two cheek colors, one luminizer and one thinner/cleaner. International professional brands like MAC and Kryolan have a similar silicone-based formulation that is widely preferred by makeup professionals.
See for yourself how pretty the GlamBox Airbrush Kit is plus how easy airbrush makeup application is after the cut!
