Canyon Cove Resort in Batangas is where the wedding of my cousin took place. It was a nice resort with entirely huge pools and beautiful beach. Anyway we had an amazing day there we did not let the day passed without soaking and basking under the sun. The day after the wedding we gleefully took that chance.
Batangas is actually a 3 hours drive from Manila (Capital City of the Philippines) I'm from iloilo so we have to take a 1 hour flight from Iloilo to Manila and from there a 3 hours drive to Batangas. The travel really took a grasp on me but it's all worth it. The Place is beautiful, simply paradise =))

It all started with Chictopia yep that is the very first fashion site I’ve joined and although writing is one of my preferred things in the world to do it never really occur to me to blog and let the rest of the world skim through the hidden chronicles of my thoughts. But somehow Chictopia had change that concept. Browsing through the gallery I got inspired, I am a big lover of fashion but I used to be one of those people who are just afraid to take that certain leap and freely expressed myself. That is one reason why I got piles and piles of unused clothes. I just love buying them but never actually wore them for fear that people might scrutinize me for being different. To picture it out - its like “I don’t want to wear a dress where everyone is wearing pants”
But, seeing all those beautiful bloggers and their unique style I gained confidence. I asked my sister to take a photo of me - the very first photo for chictopia at first I am very hesitant afraid that I might get criticized but I was wrong. Getting my first comment and first friend request ( I know you know that feeling )triggered me for more. My chictopian friends are just soooo wonderful and I'll be forever thankful for all their support. to note here are some of my very first chictopian friends =) Stella of http://mychoicesaremystyle.blogspot.com/ Rhemmel of http://rhemel.hyves.nl/ Style Mafia http://style-mafia.blogspot.com/
Here are the things i learned from Blogging:
- To be more confident - Learning to trust and love your self is one way to gain confidence. Learn how to accept who you are and never limit yourself on things that you can be. Never be afraid to stand for what you feel and what you think. Nothing is more profound than loving one self and loving oneself exudes confidence.
- The Do's and Dont's in Fashion- blogging had opened a totally wide variety of trends to me. I love reading other fellow bloggers blogs and it taught me a lot of things related to fashion.
- To Reach out- Being a blogger you have to be friendly, Don't be afraid to reach out. Join Group discussions, comment on other bloggers post etc. etc. You can also join bloggers network like IFB - Independent Fashion Bloggers and Better Bloggers Network.
To sum it up Don't be afraid to share what you know. There are lots of people seeking for answers and they might find it in your blog.. =))
Here are the 2 bloggers network you might want to join =)

We
all have our days of blue - those days where you feel so stuck up and you
feel like moving forward is intricate and the world just stop gyrating for you and problems just kept tumbling down on you.
I’m having one of those days today prolly because I woke up this morning with
an intense headache. But life moves on as they say so I decided to wear this
outfit to compliment my mood for today.

Here are some of the blue relievers i came across from the book "Our Daily Bread"
- Remember that your troubles did not take God by surprise. He is still in control.
- Believe that God has a solution, a provision, or a gift of wisdom to match your difficulty.
- Pray, affirming your faith in God and expressing your confidence in his loving purpose for you.
- Wait with expectancy and availability, trusting God to work out his perfect will.
- Praise him - even before he acts.
Hope your not having one of those blue days like i do. =) how's your day? and oh pls. don't forget to leave you blog link. i would love to visit them =)

This is a challenge that I imposed on myself. The main objective of this is to dare myself to wear clothes that are available on my closet for 30 days – meaning no new clothes, shoes etc. for a month. I wanted to discipline myself from being a compulsive shopper. Although I am not really the type who splurges on expensive items, still, I want to try the art of restraining.
This challenge did bring a lot of positive effect on me. On the1st 2 days I am able to sort out my wardrobe and found a lot of unused clothes – clothes that I thought I never had =)) 2nd I would woke up every morning very excited, rummaging through my closet and vanity table =)) Well to be honest I’ve been buying a lot of new stuffs these past months. So I’ve been sticking to those new items that I have forgotten I still have stuffs hidden in my closet used and unused.
To start here is my Day 1 and Day 2 outfit.. (Me sure gonna post al lmy 30 days of style looks )

Green tea will make an excellent skin toner because it contains antioxidants such as Vitamin E and C. These two elements can help strengthen skin's natural defenses. Not to mention that green tea is very affordable.
I myself is a big fan of green teas i make it a habit to drink every day and with this i also found another use for it.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup distilled water
2 teaspoon green tea or 1 tea bag of green tea
What to do:
Boil water. place leaves in a bowl. pour the boiling water on the leaves and allow to soak for 3-5 minutes. Strain the tea leaves and leave to cool for a few minutes.Pour in a small container
How to use:
Apply to your face using cotton. Apply gently and do not rinse.
Another Tip:
I would often fill an empty bottled water with green tea at night, put in the fridge and in the morning i would use the cold green tea to wash my face. It helps soothes puffy eyes. =)
How about you guys? do you love green tea? =)

I am recently addicted to shoes i don't know why but i just can't get enough of it. I always have this urge to buy whenever i get the chance.

 |
| My special someone choose this shoes. He said he love the black and red combination and the red studs, the truth is I'am very hesitant to buy this one since i am eyeing a different shoes. Lucky me he bought this one for me. hahaha |
 |
| Here are my new babies |
 |
| I love this cream Pumps because of it's chunky heels. |
 |
| I fell in love with this shoes the moment my eyes set on it. Probably because I am currently drawn to floral patterns and I've been looking for shoes with this kind of pattern. The heels is not so high so it's nice to wear on casual days. I can't wait to wear them =) How about you guys? What have you been doing this weekend? |
