I fairly enjoy make up but to be honest, when I started college I hated the fact that I was required to start wearing make up. Youtube wasn’t as big as it is now so I basically learned my make up preferences, techniques and skills from joining make up classes, gay classmates (I miss you all!) and my mom.
Now that the internet has gotten pretty huge, I wanted to do my fair share and give back to my wonderful young readers by sharing with your MY college make up routine. All the make up that I’m using the budget friendly and if you’re not the type to ask your mom to buy you make up, you can easily save up for these products.
I hope you enjoy this vlog and I do hope that you like, subscribe and follow me!
I’ll talk to you soon,

I don’t think I’ve ever woken up feeling like this
There’s a lot to celebrate about like the end of summer, the start of the rainy season, Handuraw Pizza Gorordo’s 3rd year anniversary and Rootches Culture’s launching!
Rootches Culture, a lifestyle brand that promotes good vibrations, will be launching their first line of apparel this June 11, 2016 (Saturday). To compensate this momentous occasion, their first design will be a limited edition design and will come in two colors: black & white for only P300.00.
Since Rootches Culture’s main goal is to spread and promote good vibes, knowing and staying true to our roots; there’s no better place to kick off their launching party than at Handuraw’s anniversary! There will also be lots of good music by some of Cebu’s local artists who will be rocking out and celebrating with.Be sure to check them out especially if you’re into skating, surfing, long boarding, any time of adventure and of course, good music- cause we all need the perfect theme song for “those” moments.
Consider me a little late when it comes to popular food choices in Cebu but like the saying goes, better late than never.
The Asian Taco, also known as Pow Bao, invaded Cebu a couple of years ago, first debuting at our favorite food markets until they finally set camp at the Banilad Town Center. Their handful of choices for fillings offer Cebuanos who love to experiment with food with great options such as chicken, pork belly, chorizo and even tofu!
If you’re looking for something heavier, they also offer rice meals with the same meal options.
Pao Baw is actually a fusion of Taiwanese food with a touch of Mexican street food which are both great cuisines individually and surprisingly great together.
Not being the most adventurous with food, I was honestly a bit hesitant to try this meal out but I was delightfully surprised that the Asian Taco was really good and not to mention, extremely filling! I personally enjoyed the chicken and tofu fillings the most.
Assorted (mix of 3 baos) @ P100.00
Rice meals (pork belly, fried chicken, chorizo or tofu) @ P 90.00
Meat+ vegetables +special yellow rice = LOVE!
Baos (pork belly (steamed or fried)/ chorizo/ fried chicken/ tofu) @ P80.00
Pow Bao is located at the front of the Banilad Town Center. Operating hours are from 10:00 am – 9:00 pm everyday.

Father’s Day does not fall on the same dates every year which is why it can sometimes be forgotten. If you’re reading this, don’t panic! You still have a few more days to spare are Havaianas will help you make this day extra special!
Here are four Havaianas styles that are perfect for the occasion:
Havaianas Top Basic is a go-to style perfect for the go-to guy in your life. The designs are simple, unassuming and go well with almost everything.
Is your Dad a rock star? These Havaianas 4nites will instantly make him feel like a a rockstar! This design features rock and roll glow in the dark prints and an interesting design.
If Dad’s style includes skinny jeans, V-neck tshirts, thick rimmed glasses and a mustache for good measure, then he’s definitely a hipster! He will fancy a pair of Havaianas Casual which features a bi-color matte strap for a surefire style.
A young at heart dad is as fun to shop for as he is to hang around. He’s fun, easy going and does not take himself too seriously. It’s easy to picture him in a pair of Havaianas Disney Stylish with soles printed with well- loved Disney characters you grew up watching him him!
So save the date. Father’s Day this year is on June 19. Whatever style you decide to get, just make sure to make him special because he deserves it.

School is just around the corner and I’m sure a lot of my young readers are both eager and nervous at the same time. I know a lot of things are running through your heads right now and the last thing you want to worry about is what you are going to wear on the first day of school. I know what it’s like to be you so I’ve decided to come up with a few looks for you to try and replicate for at least the first 5 days of school. 😉
I also want to talk about the quality of my videos, my editing and this whole Youtube thing. I know my editing, backgrounds and what not aren’t the best right now and I’m trying reallyyy hard to learn how to edit on my own so if you have any suggestions and ideas, please let me know so I can apply them in my next video. Your opinion means a lot to me and I am always looking for ideas to make this blog better!
Lastly, for this video I also tried to wear brands and clothing that are affordable and school appropriate. Some of you might be ashamed to shop at department stores but that shame speaks more about you and the kind of person you are. No offense, but it’s the #truth. Although there are a few looks that are sleeveless, don’t hesitate to wear a jacket over it, if needed! Here are the brands that I have featured in this vlog:
Look 1 (Monday)
Off shoulder top: Meanies Closet | Jumper: Zalora| Lace ups: Tutum Shop| Choker: Yourfashionfriend_Cebu
Look 2 (Tuesday)
Choker top: Gaisano| Trousers: Vero Moda| Flats: MaggiesBox
Look 3 (Wednesday)
Headband: Forever21| Top: Forever21| Pants: Lets Stylize| Sneakers: Metro Ayala Department Store
Look 4 (Thursday)

Look 5:

Still really trying to learn how to make fashion vlogs so please bear with me. 😛 But this is definitely a big jump from my first “Rainy Day Looks” video! haha. Anyways, check out a few back to school look ideas that are perfect for colleges located in warmer places. If you’re from the Philippines and you have strict dress code rules, you can still use a lot of these ideas by just throwing on a nice sweater to match!

I’m reaching out to all my plus size, gorgeous and confident readers out there- this blog post is dedicated to you!
I understand that a lot of us has issues with our bodies especially if we’re a little of the bigger side. On a couple occasions, I’ve had a few readers come up to me and share how they do not enjoy dressing up as much because fashion is only created for skinny girls- I cannot tell you how wrong you are, girlfriend.
If you love fashion but you feel like there aren’t a lot of options for your body type when it comes to shopping, maybe you’re just not looking in the right place. Curvy Style is an online retail shop that specializes in apparel for plus size vixens with lots of styles and options to choose from from tops, bottoms, swim wear, outer wear and a lot more!
Curvy Style dubs themselves as the size 12+ fashion destination which is a shame for me because I like a lot of their pieces. However, I couldn’t resist a good tab/ window shopping opportunity so I went ahead and picked out my favorite pieces from their collection for you all to enjoy.
Here they are:
Chiffon top with sleeve cut outs
Indie Flair Maxi Dress – KIYONNA Original

Please give me lots of love on Youtube by subscribing, liking and sharing my vlog to all your friends.
Working on a bunch of new content for everyone to enjoy.
