Saving Skills 101: Nails

Most have asked me where I get my nails done, and my usual answer is, "I did it myself!"This definitely surprises most, as my friend said, "Ba't ang linis!?" The answer? A cotton bud and a nail polish remover always within my reach.While assessing my expenses devoted to aesthetic purposes (i.e. beautifying myself), I found that the most frequent purchase was a trip to a nail salon to get my nails done. Blame it on the lush interiors of Dashing Diva's...

MNG FASHIONTASTIC SALE!

I opened up my e-mail last night just in time to see the lovely Penelope Cruz, and the words, FASHIONTASTIC SALE for Mango caught my eye.Talk about something to look forward to at the end of the day! I love how the Ateneo Law School is located right next to Powerplant, where students who feel worthless can head over to the nice shops and shop their worries away.Just as planned, I went there (the 2nd day!) with my 2 blockmates. I found a really great...

Vitamin EEEEE!!!

Being a law school student, I am typically confronted with late-night studying sessions which is naturally equal to having haggard and tired-looking skin. Don't get me wrong, I don't get acne-fied or anything as bad as that. Through the past year, my skin has lost its glow (I think this started way back in college when I started taking studying seriously).So I turned to my trusty friend and found out that she's drinking Vitamin E capsules everyday....

Love Being a Student with Topshop!

We consistently moan and groan about still staying in school and how looooong it has been taking before we finally end the dreary days of studying, but fear not, TOPSHOP has found a way to make everything brighter for those of us fighting off the doldrums.If you make me choose between Zara, Topshop and Mango (the usual go-tos of us financially deprived for designer labels but can still afford gorgeous things), without hesitating, I will say, "GIMME...

Songs In My Head Right Now...

Lady GaGa has to be my favorite guilty pleasure (next to Britney Spears of course) because her songs are waaay addicting. Not only that is she immensely talented, her lyrics are smarter than most songs out in the market. She knows how to play up herself with her insane outfits, headdresses, and make-up.Her latest single, Paparazzi, has not been released here but in the UK. The video has her as a celebrity who falls off the balcony resulting in her...

Fashionistas By Heart

Finally, a show with Heart Evangelista in it that does NOT make me cringe!QTV made a smart move in giving Heart a show that encourages to bring the best out of her--fashion. Let's face it, she's one of the most kikay personalities in showbiz and its about time that Philippine television got youthful hosts who look like they actually know what they're talking about.Together with Jocas de Leon (daughter of Joey Leon) and Schinina Juban, the show has...
