Lost in Thought

As the remaining days of the year disappear one by one, I find myself lost in thought; reflecting and setting up new projects and adventures of even greater heights simultaneously. I wish you calmness in the holiday craziness and simplicity in a time of consumption. So, 2017 -- I'm ready for you 😊

CocoWig: The Best Wigs for Women

Black hair is particularly common in people of Asia and others have dark brown hair. If they don't, they dyed it or is of mixed origin. I was naturally born with dark-brown hair, maybe because my grandmother is half-american. As a fashion blogger, I have permed and dyed my hair all kinds of colors because, next to outfit, hair is one of the first things we notice – like the color, and the hairstyle. I usually seek for hair colors that make me look rugged and sexy. I tried the auburn, caramel brown and light brown. I sometimes add gorgeous red highlights and ombre to create a multi-dimensional masterpiece.

With so many shades and coloring styles to choose from, all I wanted is to go blonde, but I was scared for some reason. The process from dark to light took a couple months. Coloring hair from one shade to another shade in the same color family (light brown to dark brown) will also be more forgiving and less damaging on our hair than going from a dark brown to a bleach blonde. Bleach is extremely harsh on our hair -- the harsh chemicals and strong ingredients may actually be doing more harm than good. Bleached hair will make our hair actually fall out, drying it out and making it feel like broom, it just makes hair very easily breakable and severely damaged.

Finally, while hair bleaching can damage your hair, using human hair wig is much more affordable and so much safer. I've been looking for the best hair extensions or wig online, and I'm so happy that I found the www.cocowig.com, best webstore that offer the best but cheap wigs for women in a great quality.

Having a human hair wig, I can restyle it like my own hair and I can choose any color that I want. They really had a large variety of human hair of your favorite Hollywood celebrities. How cool is that, huh?


Hey, look what I found... a hairstyle wig of Ashley Benson. I wanna rock this hair style on our New Year Eve's Party. Wish me luck! 😍

Hey, This is Me Being Cool!

My style depends on so many aspects, like my surroundings, which part of the day it is, and most importantly -- it’s based on my mood. The way I feel is essential when I get dressed in the morning stroll, afternoon meeting or for an evening out. I could sport a rock chick look or a swaggy style the one day and the other day wear something very feminine and sophisticated.

I believe that we don’t have to stick to one specific style, we’re allowed to mix things up a bit. I personally love to experiment as well.

When it comes to this look, my mood was definitely on the comfortable, swaggy side. To add just the right amount of sturdiness to the look, I decided to put on my hoody denim jacket with a touch of orange, which was exactly what it needed to translate my mood into an outfit.



Shoes: Converse

Christmas Playlist



I would say it’s completely acceptable to be playing Christmas music throughout the house and in your headphones on your way to wherever you wanna go at this time of year. The festive adverts are hitting our TV screen Christmas songs are creeping onto our favourite radio stations. Back in the summer, I created this playlist 'coz I actually listened to Christmas music in March -- heck, I sing Christmas music in March -- and the rest of the year as well. I kept it private until quite recently because a friend of mine wanted to listen to it!

Now I want to share it with all of you, so you can dance along to all my favourite tunes. I always put it on shuffle and play it through the Sonos so it blasts throughout the whole house, and it’s the best thing to lift your mood.



Christmas Playlist (Pop)

  1. Winter Wonderland - Selena Gomez & The Scene
  2. Mistletoe - Justin Bieber 
  3. Last Christmas - Ariana Grande
  4. My Only Wish (This Year) - Britney Spears
  5. Santa Baby - Taylor Swift
  6. Christmas Must be Something - Taylor Swift
  7. All I Want for Christmas - Demi Lovato
  8. Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Miley Cyrus  
  9. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree - Miley Cyrus
  10. I Won’t be Home for Christmas - Blink 182
  11. Little Drummer Boy - Pentatonix
  12. Baby it’s Cold Outside - Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey
  13. A DC Christmas Medley - Destinys Child 

Christmas Playlist (Medley)

  1. Happy Christmas (War is Over) - Maroon 5
  2. Chestnuts (Roasting on an Open Fire) - Elizabeth Gillies and Ariana Grande
  3. White Christmas - Michael Bublé
  4. Christmas Won’t be the Same Without You - Martin Nievera
  5. Christmas is in Our Hearts - Jose Mari Chan
  6. A Perfect Christmas - Jose Mari Chan
  7. Mary’s Boy Child - Jose Mari Chan
I definitely need to add a lot of Michael Bublé, Jose Mari Chan and the amazing Pentatonix's Christmas songs at some point (absolute classic).

So this may be a little bit outside of my typical blog post, but I thought it would be great fun to assemble a Christmas playlist of a few of my favorite songs for the Holiday Season. It’s still aimed at increasing your productivity this week — after all, it’s one less thing to worry about when family dinner time is finally upon you.
Just click the YouTube playlist above and enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Loves! 😘

Carabella Pure Collagen Skin Care Products

Everybody loves having naturally beautiful, young-looking skin -- that's why skin care and skin whitening products and supplements remain one of the world's best-selling items. However, not all products are made equal. Top quality skin care creams and powders are often available at premium prices, with guaranteed effective and enviable results. And while there are cheaper brands available in the market today, the result is either a hit or miss.












Carabella, from the Spanish word for “face” and the Italian word for “beautiful” aims to dispel this by offering an option for Filipinas who wanted to achieve that beautiful, naturally-fair skin without burning a hole on their budget.

As the latest skin care and skin whitening brand, Carabella is differentiating itself from the many skin care brands in the market by bringing in the best ingredients from Japan while utilizing Filipino ingenuity and technology. All Carabella products, except for the best-selling Belleieshua Pure Collagen Supplement Drink, is made locally in the Philippines. The company also hopes to tap to the mid-market segment by offering their products at consumer-friendly prices.

“We noticed that there’s a dearth in the market today on reliable, effective, high-quality skin care products but at more affordable prices. Carabella wanted to change that. Our collagen is sourced directly from Japan because that's where the best skin care ingredients come from. Our goal is to assure Filipinas that they do not have to spend more just to be beautiful. Carabella is here for them," shares Reynaldo Ignes, the president and managing director of GoldenRey Marketing, the company behind Carabella.

Using the purest form of collagen as its main ingredient, Carabella is offering a diverse line of products focused on skin whitening and anti-aging: the best-selling Pure Collagen Soap with Kojic Acid (Php 160 for 90g and Php 220 for 150g); Pure Collagen Soap with Glutathione (Php 170 for 90g / Php 260 for 150g); Pure Collagen Cream to Powder (Php 680 for 15g jar / Php 1,200 for 30g jar); Pure Collagen Cream with Elastin and Alpha Arbutin (Php 280); Pure Collagen Placenta Cream with SPF30 (Php 280); Pure Collagen Bleaching Night Lotion (Php 390); Pure Collagen Day Lotion (Php390); Pure Collagen Perfecting Toner (Php 530); Deo Whitening Spray (Php 490) and Belleieshua Pure Collagen Drink (Php 3,300).

Carabella Pure Collagen Grand Launch

Last September 24, I was invited to the launching of Carabella, the latest brand in skin care. When you get an invite hosted by Fab Functions, you know it’s an event not to be missed. The place was beautifully decorated and full of surprises. Guest bloggers were offered floral crown, boquet of flowers as well as Carabella products and gifts. Everyone was feeling pretty good about themselves. :)

The Carabella Pure Collagen launched their collection of skin care and skin whitening products and supplement with the opportunity to have a high quality brand but at more affordable prices. The product range is substantial enough to have something for every beauty buff and although I am yet to try it myself, Carabella's goal is to assure that we Filipinas' don't need to spend more just to be beautiful. Sounds good to me!







The hotspot of the event was the introduction and presentation of all Carabella's products such as the best-selling Pure Collagen Soap with Kojic Acid, Pure Collagen Soap with Glutathione, Pure Collagen Cream to Powder, Pure Collagen Cream with Elastin and Alpha Arbutin, Pure Collagen Placenta Cream with SPF30 and Pure Collagen Bleaching Night. 








...and yes, me and my friend/co-blogger Krish won a raffle. Yey! 



The launching event was held at M Cafe, Greenbelt 5. I do really enjoy the service and their food is amazing. The taste and presentation makes a huge difference.
