Drooling for Shoes -- :)

I really love shoes since i was young most especially the flat ones. But when i get older my taste for shoes changed. I don't know why i hooked so much with WEDGES. I find them, adorable, beautiful and glamorous. I'm really not into pumps or high heeled shoes because i feel so uncomfortable sometimes. 

Anyway, i told in my previous post that i will be posting some of the wedges i've been drooling since last few months. -- ♥

first on the list are ALEXANDER McQueen :

Peep Toe Bow Wedge

Ivory Metal Wedge

Strass Wedge

Second is from Lanvin :

Escarpin wedge

Beige Peep Too Wedge

Resort Wedge

Leather Cork Wedge

Next is from TOPSHOP :

Tassel Wedge

Script Pink Wedge

Wisteria Wedge

And lastly, from MIU MIU :

Baroque Wedge

Cork and Leather Wedge

Glitter Wedge Platform

Red Canvass Wedge

Having these pairs of shoes is HEAVEN. ugh! i want them all badly, but i know i'll be broke like hell if that happens. I can't help myself but drool. Well, as they say, in every problem or dream has a solution.

The best solution i think is to SAVE SAVE SAVE and SAVE to own/have these babies. ♥

'til my next post.

STAY PRETTY. STAY BLESSED.

because i L-O-V-E wedges ♥

If there's one thing we girls splurge our money a lot is SHOES. Having many pairs of shoes is heaven to us.
As for me i do prefer wedges or platforms, i don't have that much wedges but i'm planning to invest my money on shoes especially wedges. (not that great investment, but i want it. I REALLY WANT IT LIKE HELL). *evil laugh*

WHY WEDGES AND PLATFORMS ARE GREAT?!

• They give you height without the discomfort of high heels. The sole is built up at the front so the height ratio between the front and back of the shoes is less pronounced.
• They are easier to walk in than heels.
• They will update the outfit instantly.
• They will make anyone's legs look longer and leaner.
• They are especially good for heavy ankles as hey will balance them out and make them appear slimmer.
• They look great with almost any length of skirt or dress.

1. With Jeans

For a casual look, pair your wedge with jeans. Most styles will work from skinny to 70's inspired flares, but be sure to read the tips below to ensure that you get the look just right.

Skinny Jeans

Wedges are great with skinny jeans as additional height ensures that your legs look as long as lean as possible. Be sure to team with a loose top though.

Boot Cut Jeans

Boot Cut Jeans are great for all body shapes and are ideal to wear with wedges. The idea is to wear them long so that the wedge is just visible. Definitely be sure to avoid the ankle swinging look.

Flare Jeans

For ultimate 70's look this upcoming summer, pair you wedges with flare.

    2. With any length Skirt/Dress

The leg length winning properties of the wedge mean hey can be worn with min, midi, maxi length skirts and dresses.

    3. Let your wedges do the talking

If you have chosen a pair of wedges hat are particularly bright or patented, wear them a plainer dress or outfit

    4. Experiment with Different Look

Wedges are extremely versatile so have experimenting and wearing them with different outfits for different occasions.

Wedges are amazingly beautiful. It can compliment really well whatever styles, dresses or outfits you want to achieve. Please keep an eye for my next posts. I'm thinking to show you different wedges I've been eyeing and drooling these past few months. :)

Hair Care 101

Oh well,I haven't blog for a while. Well, i'm really busy this past few weeks complying my requirements for my new work. As i comply my requirements i also did some mini hauls. Maybe, i'll post it anytime SOON.
Anyway, my post is all about HAIR. Indeed, hair is our crowning glory, ayt? For us girls, VANITY is our last name and we really want to look good always and sometimes we compromise the health of our hair because of blow-drying, ironing, curling, dying and a lot more. So, here are some tips that will surely help you (including me). :)


How to choose Shampoo and Conditioner?

Choosing hair shampoo & conditioner can be very difficult because there are literally hundreds of them. Pay a visit to any cosmetics store in the locality and you will have an option to choose from dozens of brands and variants. There are no direct rules to choose a hair shampoo & conditioner. There are, however, certain parameters that you can check in order to make an informed decision about the selection of shampoos and conditioners.

For coarse and curly hair:

Curly hair is usually dry because the oil supply does not reach the end. It is usually due to the reason that oil produced at the hair shaft is prevented from reaching the tip of the hair.

For coarse, curly hair, you should go for creamy and moisturizing shampoos.This should contain shea butter, germ oil and nut oil.

For fine, oily hair:

Men and women with fine, oily hair prefer to avoid an "oily" appearance. So it is important to avoid creamy shampoos. Creamy products are suitable for coarse, curly hairs only.

For frequent washing, one can look out for products that contain panthenol. This ingredient is known to improve the thickness level for each hair strand. During frequent washings, one can use a dry shampoo or talcum powder for best results.

Conditioners are not so important for limp haired women. You can just skip a conditioner if you can easily comb through hair after are finished washing them. Always go for a mild conditioner if you have oily, limp hair. Spray conditioners can be great as they don't reach the scalp so easily. You do not have to lather your hair more than once unless they are "extra oily".

For processed hair:

One of the biggest problems with processed hair is that roots tend to be oily and ends are drier. This behavior makes the task of washing processed hair very complicated. Technically, you have to moisture the end part and cleanse the shaft.

In such cases, it is advisable to wash your hairs with an ordinary shampoo at least once in a day. A shampoo should be used to cleanse the scalp area. Use a strong conditioner after washing your hairs with a shampoo.

Do not apply the conditioner to the scalp area. People with processed-colored hairs are especially concerned about preserving the color. While some companies have come up with specific shampoos capable of preserving the color, many people continue to believe that such products are just marketing fads. Try a few products before you use them for colored hair.

For dry and damaged hair:

As far as dry and damaged hairs are concerned, it is advisable to choose creamy shampoos. Clear shampoos are not suitable for damaged and dry hair at all. Regular conditioning of dry and damaged hairs is required. An ultra-moisturizing conditioner is just right for damaged and dry hair. Learn

AMAZING PLACE and PEOPLE = ♥♥♥

This happened about a year already, but i just want to share it with you guys. ♥

It's an annual activity that our College (College of Business Administration) holds an outreach program in some of the remote Barangays in our Province. Indeed, it is a great honor for me to be part of the students who will go to the said Outreach Program. It is not my first time to attend such, but i am really grateful and excited at the same time. Since the call time was 6:00 am, i woke up around 4:00 am to fix and prepare my stuffs. I arrived at 6:30 am and i was anxious and somewhat horrified because there are no students in the school and i was thinking that i was being left by my classmates and schoolmates and later i realized i was the first one to arrived. :) As we wait for our other schoolmates, we took some pictures to kill the time. :)

We rode for more than 1 hour with the high-wheeled truck that our school lend us. We are really excited and ecstatic and we kept on laughing and blabbing the whole time. We were all amazed seeing those green grassy mountains and clear waters of the river in Lake Sebu. But the excitement somehow turned into adrenaline rush because the only way to get into the community is to pass the zigzag road with cliffs left and right, all we did was laugh and shout trying to feel we are just riding in a roller coaster just  to hide our nervousness we feel inside.

We thought that the community was near, but soon we realized we still have to walk 3-4 kilometers. It was really exhausting since we are carrying equipment and food for the community and the road is not really accessible, we still have to cross 2 rivers, hike in several mountains plus the road was really muddy. But that won't stop nor hinder us because before we got there we already inculcated in our minds what are the purposes why we have to go there and we are eager and enthusiastic enough to worry about anything.

After approximately 2 hours of walking and hiking.FINALLY, we arrived at the community. The people were very welcoming and hospitable. (That is one thing we Filipinos must be proud of!) I can really see the happiness in their faces. 

Since we are Business Administration students the main reason why we went there is conduct a seminar about Micro Financing in their Cooperative Members. The Team were divided into 3 groups. The first group composed of Accounting students were tasked for the Seminar, second group which composed of Financial Management Students were tasked for the Children's Enrichment activities and the third group composed of Marketing students were tasked for the Food preparation.

As part of the second group, we gathered all the kids and teens in the field, they were all happy, ecstatic and excited in seeing us they jumped and hugged as to death and it makes me feel so blessed. We prepared a short program for these adorable kids.

We read stories for them.

We let them color the rabbit we brought to them.

One of the student brought her portable dvd player and the kids we really serious watching the movie.

 NO ONE SMILES. :)

And we played with the kids all day long.

As we chat with some of the kids, i feel pity hearing there dreams and struggles while living in this uncivilized place like them. These kids woke up at 4:00 am everyday and walk for 3-4 kilometers everyday of their lives just to get education. As we teach them to read and write they also teach us back with there dialect which is B'laan. But i already forgot those words, it's really hard to pronounce for all you know. HAHA. We roam around in their place and they showed us the hanging bridge where they usually play and hang out.

The hanging bridge is scary and it scares me like hell. I'm afraid of the heights, you know. They jump, climb and dive in the cliffs and i cannot find fear in their eyes maybe because they already used to it. They even invited us but i said no, a BIG NO actually. We gave them chocolates and they asked what are those. Geez, they don't know what chocolates are?! :( If they only knew it's the most sweetest and amazing thing in the world. :)

As we packed up our stuffs, we posed for a while like one of those Project Runway or America's Top Models. HAHA. :)

I really salute these children for their eagerness, hard work and enthusiasm because they never took poverty as a hindrance but one of the challenges in reaching their dreams and aspirations in life.

Seeing and talking with those kids inspired me a lot and made me realized some things. One is that i must be thankful and contented  with what i have now. I may not living with glamour and wealth and so these children, but they are really happy because they know that in God's time they will succeed and will be living the life they really wanted to be. I really hope for the best for these children and if i will be given a chance to come back here in the future time i will surely do. I definitely want to see the changes happened in their community and to them as well. 

Indeed, it was FUN-FABULOUS experience. I love the place. I love the people. I love everything there.

The kids really followed us up to our truck and they bid their goodbyes. 'til we meet again amazing children! 

Note: Those date in the pictures were wrong. We were not able to change the date and time of the camera.

stay blessed. :)
