Another busy week ahead but I am well motivated by my upcoming beach trips which start this Saturday. I'm also excited about buying some new clothes to take with me on a trip. Flowy dresses and sheer minis are my must haves.

I’m a tactile shopper and I love soft fabrics. Almost everything I buy, I run my fingers over the fabric very gently to submit to the caress test. Naturally, I tried the same process with underwear. I love soft spandex material for a greater comfort and good thing because Avon Fashions, the no. 1 Intimate Apparel brand in the Philippines came up with all new Body Illusion, and as always they exceeded my expectations.

The Avon Fashion’s Body Illusion is the newest inner wear line powered by INVISILITE Technology to provide women the ultimate comfort and support that #FeelsLikeFreedom and gives you a certain type of confidence in a really cool way.

Sure, I could wear the cutest top and the trendiest jeans, but with the wrong innerwear, things could quickly go awry. Confidence is what happens when you allow yourself to feel secure and be comfortable with what's under your clothes.

As an adventurer woman with things to do and places to be, the last thing I want to do is to worry about whether the outline of my underwear is visible through my skirt and tight leggings. The secret of innerwear is the sense of security it offers: the less insecurities, the better. This Body Illusion Charlene Seamless Hipster panty create a super-flawless fit and everything looks perfect. I’m obsessed.

Personally, I function my best when I’m at my most comfortable; when I’m wearing a lightweight bra. My ultimate goal is to find a bra that feels comfortable and gives me the right support and coverage. I always love a plain, seamless nude bra and I always make sure that there are no “bra lines”, there is no flesh bulging out, and the straps don't show anywhere. The aim is to seem as if I don't’ have anything underneath my top so that the focus is on my outfit, not on my underwear. This Charlene Underwire Seamless Bra that I'm wearing in this photos is just what I'm looking for.

Inside is what counts and being unaware of my underwear because it’s so comfortable is key.

Whether you’re a professional, a traveler, stylist, millennial, a mom or all of the above, Body Illusion by Avon Fashion creates the perfect pieces for all of these lifestyles to provide women the ultimate comfort and support that #FeelsLikeFreedom!

Avon Fashions Body Illusion is available through Zalora, Avon Representatives, or via Avonshop.ph. Order now and feel it for your self.

This store has been here for quite a long time now. It's history. This place is still survive despite the presence of other big and modern hamburger chains. It is because they have the best tasting burgers in the Philippines and even abroad.
You will also love their salads for sure and they got other old-time sandwiches like the Clubhouse. They also have rice meals, spaghetti with buttered toast, and pancit. Their spring fried chicken is for the win.

Coffee Max have been delivering up some of the best coffee in town and the best thing is they are the only coffee shop that offers Suman. Suman means "sticky rice cakes" and a delicious Filipino dainty that is very popular in the Philippines. It is usually eaten sprinkled with sugar, laden with coconut caramel sauce or condensed milk. Suman is the excellent dipping companions for coffee and that makes Coffee Maxx's coffee taste even better. Suman will surely be a filling delicacy this holiday. Even though this Filipino tradition is widely appreciated by balikbayans as well as the older generations in our family, a plateful of Coffe Maxx's suman is a great way to introduce this timeless delicacies to the young ones.
