Day dreamer and Believer: 2020

It's starting to get chilly lately and this weather is making me extra lazy. However, with the demand of work coming especially during the holidays I have to be extra productive instead. My companion these days became coffee and cookies and these two things make me alive and kicking the whole working day. On some days when I'm on my break I'm allotting more time sleeping or getting my much needed rest in my comfiest jammies. On the other hand I also dedicate half of my time outdoors with my constants who's always up for something new to experience. One thing that I've been addicted to wear lately are hoodies! I'm not a fan of hoodies though but I realized that they're one of the comfiest thing to wear on days like this. They are very casual but with the right way of styling it you can achieve the look that you've been wanting without sacrificing the comfort.

I've been in search for more hoodies that I can wear on chill days and came across these set of hoodies. By simply viewing it and taking a look at its details I can say that they're one of the most comfortable hoodies that I saw online.

I love that they don't only have comfortable hoodies but also sexy sweatshirts that are perfect to wear on a night out. There are actually a lot to choose from their hoodie and sweatshirt collection and I suggest that you take a look on their site and see what they have to offer!

I have attended a series of weddings lately and one of the most recent was my boyfriend's family friend. After so many years I have attended again an orange themed wedding party and it looks so refreshing and bright to my eyes! It was also a nice idea that they gave little gifts such as mini alcohol and cute facemasks to at least secure that everyone is safe. Anyway, as I was looking at the bridesmaids' dresses I wonder why most bridesmaid dresses are made in the same color, design and style (in short plain) when you can make it into something fancier. I'm talking about adding prints on it! I haven't attended any wedding with that dress idea but I've seen a lot from the internet. It's one thing that I want to suggest to my next couple clients.

I've always wanted to see a floral themed wedding and that includes floral reception set up, beautiful floral bouquet arrangements, floral lace wedding dress and most especially the floral bridesmaid dresses. My musings and imagination came into reality when I saw this beautiful floral dress online. I know this is going to be the perfect one because:

First, this dress has one of the most beautiful floral print I saw online. I love how elegant and luxurious it looks. It's also a rare design- a floral and peacock in a dress because I've never seen something like this before.

This dress gives a nice fit on the waist area and hugs the upper body on the right places. I also love the V neckline with a see through design. It won't feel awkward at all.

In relation to the V neckline in front, I also love the V shaped back detail. I would suggest to have the hair tied up if you'll be wearing a dress like this.

Another reason why I love this dress is because of its flowy style and chiffon fabric. It's so comfortable that you can move here and there without the hassle. It also gives that "princess" feels.

You can check this dress out at Alfabridal. They have a lot in store that you can choose from

On my previous post I talked about taking the risk of dressing up in a fiercer and sexier look. On today's post I'll be talking about one of my favorite dress style and that is no other than SEQUINS! I love sequins because I can wear it anywhere and anytime. On casual days I put on a pop of sequin in my outfit (sometimes my top or accessories) because it can instantly make an outfit effortlessly eye catching. During girls' night out I wear sequins too to achieve that glam look without putting on heavy make up. Sequins can honestly do wonders in an everyday look but most especially to a wedding look. I've attended a few night weddings before and one thing that I can suggest to future couples regarding their bridesmaid dresses is that they should at least put some bling and sequins to it.

Sequins look really good under dim and night lights. It gives an illusion of sparkling dresses. It makes a whole look made up and fancier.

Chiffon + sequins make up a really nice combination. It's the whole package of a princess like outfit. It also makes a plus point for the comfort and style of the whole look.

This dress reminds me of a Cinderella dress. It looks so adorable! It's not only perfect for wedding bridesmaid dresses but also for prom! Imagine wearing this sequin prom dress. You will for sure be noticed by the guy you're eyeing the most!

Lastly, it's versatility is what I love the most about this dress. Whether as prom dress, bridesmaid dress, evening dress- you name it, you can wear it in any occasion you wish to attend. You may check this dress out in Alfabridal for more details. Don't forget to tell me your thoughts about it!

There are a lot of styles and unending possibilities when it comes to bridesmaid's dresses. There goes the sweet style, the glam and bling style, conservative style, and the sexy style. Honestly speaking, I would always go on the safe side- the sweet style. I love v heart shaped neckline dresses with chiffon fabric. It gives me the feeling of a princess! But also I'm that type of woman who's always willing to take the opposite side and try something I haven't imagine myself wearing. It's something sexier and fiercer. I'm talking about deep v-neck dresses. It's not my style but I want to try wearing it preferably this double v neck chiffon bridesmaid dress from Alfabridal. Here are the reasons why:

The dress is an elegant A-line chiffon dress. I love chiffon dresses! If it would just be possible to have my dresses all in chiffon I definitely would! It's so easy to move in it, so flowy and comfortable.

The deep v-neck design makes this dress look sexy. Whether you have small boobs or big boobs, it doesn't matter because it's made for both without making the whole look awkward.

This dress has an open back which makes it look more sexier. You can show off you sexy back too!

I love its color. I love burgundy. It's what makes the whole look classy and elegant.

Lastly, I love this dress because you don't need to be broke to have one. It's very affordable for its look and quality. You can order this exact dress at Alfabridal. Check their website for more photos and details!

Heyyy guys! December came with a blast and surprises for me. I had a wedding booked last December 1st and have 2 more on the 3rd week of the month. This month came in with a lot of wedding preparations for my clients not with just the pastries that they are ordering from my shop but they are also asking ideas about their wedding outfits since they know that I am a fashion blogger. Recently I blogged a series of posts for an international brand that sells women's bridesmaids dresses. Well, what's a bridesmaid dress without a groomsmen suit, right? I've recently discovered an international brand that sells men's suits for all occasions- Allaboutsuit. I got hooked up on how nice their designs are and was able to spot some of my favorites to share it here. I actually had shared it already on a meeting with a client earlier and I'm happy that they considered looking at their site. Anyway, here are some of the few suits that I loved from their shop.

Imagine being asked on a prom by a guy in this prom suit! It looks so elegant and manly! I loved the color and the structure of this tuxedo.

I'm currently seeing a lot of men in their wedding suit like this one. I wouldn't ask why! It instantly makes a look dashing and really charming!

This is my ideal groom suit and if I would be planning for my wedding already, I would suggest my man to wear an all black suit. This pair is one of my favorite because it has one of the nicest structure and fit and as we say, "You can never go wrong with black."

Here's to another eye catcher piece that I saw from Allaboutsuit. I just appreciate how this suit gives an effortless vibe as a groomsmen's suit on a casual summer wedding at a beach. I love the color and the fabric. Very summery!

If the previous blue suits are for the groomsmen, this last pair looks like the groom's suit on a beach wedding. It's simple yet looks so classy and well put up.

Hey everyone! It's the first of December already and we're only 31 days away till 2021! How are you all doing so far? I'm doing good and I'm happy to end my first day of the month with a blast! I have baked a lot of cheesecakes and attended a wedding earlier today. Weddings are one of my favorite event during December. It adds excitement to all the festivities of the month. Earlier today, one of my cousin got married to the love of his life. They had a church wedding and a few came from the family. The set up was really nice and I'm so happy to see everyone in beautiful dresses and suits. I believe that a wedding, even though in low cost, can still look completely elegant and beautiful with the right choice of decorations and input. Same with dresses- a dress, even if it's cheap and low cost can still look elegant with the right choice of fabric and silhouette.

It's always exciting to wear big brands and anything expensive to look good for an event such as a wedding but haven't you realized that you're going to wear it for only once in your life and will not wear the same thing on the next? I hope you're getting my point but what I'm talking about is why would you splurge that much for a one day event that you'll attend to if you can buy something for less with an almost the same style and quality, right? Let's take this wrap bridesmaid dress as an example. I've seen a lot of dresses with the same design and style as this but I would for sure get this instead because it wouldn't cost me that much for a day to look at my best. For only $99 I get to wear a faux wrap silhouette frilly gown that looks worth $199 or more.

First is, I love that it's chiffon which makes it soft and flowy. It'll allow me to move freely and sway like a princess in all directions I make. Second, I love that it's heart v-neck line makes the whole look sweet and bubbly. Third, wrap dresses are the latest trend and one of my favorite! It accentuates my waist part and gives an illusion of a nice body curve. Lastly, those side frills are so cute! It makes the whole look more femme.

With the right styling of accessories you will achieve that elegant and high end look without spending too much! I hope my suggestion will help you in choosing your future dresses and gowns!

Crazy how this blog has reached a lot of audience and readers already, how long it is still standing and how many collaborations I've partnered with since I started. I still have so many dreams for this blog and one is to work as a full time blogger/writer. I love to experience working with big brands and just accept collaborations everyday. As much I wanted to, I'd love to publish posts everyday and express more of myself through writing. How I wish I can split myself into 3 and do blogging, baking, and my work as a full time dentist (soon) at the same time. I know that wouldn't be possible though but as much as I can I try to balance everything so nothing will be left out. As I was saying, I'm happy this blog has made me share my full experiences with products sent to me for reviews. I've always poured my heart in every post published and always gives my unbiased opinion. From clothes, jewelries, cosmetics, foods, travel and now skincare! I have not ever thought of doing one before but here it is!

Today's product that I want to talk about is one of my skin's holy grail. I'm not being exaggerated about this but this is the reality. Ever since I was young I already have a sensitive skin. My mom brings me to the dermatologist at the age of 5 because I always develop allergies every time something is applied on my skin. As I grow older I've been more curious about some products that I watched from vlogs and decided to try some that concerns my skin- products for dry skin, whitening, uv protection, hydrating- everything! I've tried a few which are "hypoallergenic" but they only emphasized a few of my concerns and not as a whole. I know it's hard to find a product where I can get my needs satisfied all in one. But you know what I'm so happy that finally after years of searching and trying I finally found my holy grail- Skinclass.

Skinclass has two powerful products that I both love. First is the Milky White Body Scrub. I haven't been educated with that much information about scrubs before and that's the reason why I seldom use it. I have used once before but I wasn't consistent with it because maybe I didn't get to see any result that's changing on my skin. I tried to use one again when I received this milky white body scrub and I must say that it's now part of my routine. I have consumed 2 containers and the reason behind is first- my little bumps (bacne) have slowly regressed and second, I feel like I'm literally applying a milk on my body! I love the fragrance. I smell like a baby!!! This milky white scrub has a powerful exfoliating effect that restores my skin's natural glow back in motion. I use it 3-4x a week and leave it for 5 minutes on my body skin before I wash it. :)

Another product from Skinclass collection is my favorite, Milky white cream. I don't use lotion before. I had a few bad experiences with lotion. First is when I had an allergy because of the strong smell of the lotion I applied on my body and second is when I felt so oily and sticky with the heavy body cream that I applied. From then on, I had a little trauma on applying any cream on my body which left my skin really dry. I was a bit hesitant to try this product before because I don't use any cream anymore but when a friend recommended me to try it, I just can't say no! I applied it first on a little part of my arm. The first thing that I noticed is the smell! It's honeydew and it's so fragrant! I'm waiting for the allergic reaction to happen or series of runny nose episode but thank God I didn't experienced anything. I started applying it in my whole body and got that fresh and moisturized feels. I'm so happy too that it doesn't felt sticky at all!!!

Other than those I have mentioned, I love the fact that it has UVA/UVB protection and perfect for persons who are always on the go like me! It's also applicable for all skin types, 100% vegan and cruelty free!

I will forever be thankful for being introduced to these products. They're not only good but also affordable products that you can try! For less than Php 500 you can already have both! For orders and inquiries you can message me or you can directly message their fb page- Skinclass Batangas City. I hope these products can help you in your body skin problems too. If you're reading this and or currently using it too, leave your thoughts, comments and experiences about this product on the comment section below. :)

See you in my next posts!

Weddings, dresses, preparations- these are some of the things that excites me every time I hear it. I'm so in love with being part of weddings whether as a guest but most especially if I'm on the list of the entourage. Dressing up, putting on makeup, wearing fancy dresses and high heels are things that I look forward to also about being a bridesmaid. I've encountered and wore a lot of bridesmaid's dresses and I think, I already mastered the perfect dresses that I want my future bridesmaids to wear on my future wedding day.

This dress from the picture above is the perfect example of my "all-in-one" kind of dress. First is the color. Even though I love all shades of pink, I'd love my future entourage to wear dresses in red wine color with a touch of gold accessories. For me, it gives off that festive with full of love feels! I mean, you want to feel that everyone's celebrating with you on your wedding day! It's such a nice and happy color to dwell on for a dress. Second is, I want a chiffon dress. Chiffon gives off that flowy, princess like feels every time you're wearing it. I want my bridesmaids to look at their best and feel that they're beautiful on that special day. Aside from that, chiffon looks elegant in any angle. It's also lightweight that you won't be having a hard time wearing it for the whole day.

Third, I want a "V" neckline for the style of the dresses. Not that deep though, just a little heart shaped one. It makes the whole look sweet and playful. Lastly, I'd love to make an eye catcher side slit for my future bridesmaids' dresses. I've always wanted to wear a dress with a side slit but none of the previous weddings that I had attended to had that kind of dress' style. For me it instantly makes a whole look classy, elegant and polished. I also loved that fact that it can highlight the legs (I know my future bridesmaids have nice legs hahaha!) and I want them to show it off and not just hide it underneath the dress.

I hope my future entourage would be able to read this so they will have an idea of what their future dresses would look like! Hahahaha! I know they will love and appreciate it too! I know I'm still young to prepare and think of things like this but honestly, it always excites me every time! If you're a soon to be bride and you also consider my tips and wants for my affordable chiffon bridesmaid dresses ideas, thank you in advance and know that you can message me or email me so I can help you put together your ideas! It will be much appreciated!

Thanks for reading! See you in my next posts! :)

It's that season again when everything online is almost on SALE! Can you hear me all giddy and excited with every price drop for this year's SALES? I've browsed a lot of shops lately and almost everything I saw was preparing for this year's BLACK FRIDAY SALE! I've selected some of my favorites and most recommended and here's the first among the list! One of my fave shop is having the biggest SALE of the year and I'm excited to introduce it to you here in my blog. Are you excited? Well, here's the big announcement, all of Alfabridal's bridesmaids' dresses are priced at less 20% off!!! Isn't that crazy! If I were a bride to be I'd definitely check their bridesmaid dresses trends 2021 out!

There are actually a lot of bridesmaid dresses to choose from. Trend such as mix and matching clothes- colors, styles, cuts is what I've noticed recently in the past weddings that I've seen online. There are endless ideas that you can apply in choosing your set of bridesmaid dresses but here's one tip I want to share: Always consider the similarities and differences of one dress from another. Buy your bridesmaid dresses from your first trusted store so you know that your bridesmaids' dresses are in good hands. You don't want the color of the dresses be very different from the other nor you don't want the quality to be compromised. If you want everything to be in velvet just like in the picture above, then go for that velvet color and texture in that particular store where you bought it. The quality from another store may be different from the first one.

Second and last tip that you may consider: Buy your bridesmaids' dresses on SALE because you'll only wear it once! This is your chance to spend less and still look beautiful in your Alfabridal dress. Use the coupon code: BF20 upon checkout! Go check them out at Alfabridal.com!
Happy Shopping ladies!

Life update: I'm still kicking and alive!!! As promised, I'm making a comeback and I'm doing my best to spend more of my spare time on my online space by sharing and updating you with some of the things that I'm currently loving and I'm currently up to. First things first, I'm a working woman now- not as a dentist (soon I will be and I'll keep you with me in every step of my journey) but a baker during the morning and a blogger during the night! I work home-based, full time and I couldn't be more thankful for it. As my friends call me, I'm a very "busy woman" now. I can't even finish a netflix series (except for Emily in Paris teheee it's so nice!! I'm looking forward to Season 2) now that's why I opt for netflix movies preferably Christmas special instead. Anyway, I'd like to share with you some of the events and things that I were up to recently.

I'm a year older!! Yes, I'm 24 and still looking young! Haha! I celebrated my birthday last September 30 with a very intimate set up. I can't even believe my birthday would be covered by quarantine period!! Anyway, I'm really thankful for what I have been and for what I have went through for the past 24 years. I didn't know I'd grow up into a mature and business minded woman who's only goal as of now is to help my mom in all ways I can and to save money for my future investments. This year hit me hard in a good way! I didn't know the word "productive" have a deeper meaning when I started working and earning everyday. I'm just really thankful that slowly, the dreams that I didn't knew were coming were slowly making it's way to the top and turning itself into reality.

Birthday dress from SHEIN

I used to celebrate my birthdays with a lot of friends but this year was different. We were only 10 who celebrated together but it felt like a community. I'm happy my family is complete and my boyfriend was able to come! It's his first time to be with me in my exact birth date. I'm happy that my 2 closest friends were also with me on my birthday! I cooked/baked some of the foods like honey mustard and original wings that I've always loved! I also baked my birthday cake. I cried because I thought it was a fail (HAHAHA) but I'm happy that it wasn't after all because my cousins loved it! It's a heart shaped pink dulce de leche cheesecake by the way. I also ordered some foods from local homebased stores like Lechon Belly from Peng's Kitchen, Cordon Bleu and Lumpiang Shanghai from Gunitahanan, Pizza from Micah's Catering, and ice cream cakes from Donn & Mary's Creamery. They didn't disappoint me! Everything's worth the try! :)

Did you noticed that I got a haircut? :) Fast forward to 3 days after my birthday, Pau and I celebrated our anniversary in advance while he's still on vacation before he went back to work. It was my idea to have a home dinner and I'm happy it turned out the way we want it to be. 3 years of being in a relationship with Pau? Well, I think we've become mature enough to know our priorities this time. During our first and second years together, we used to be always together- from morning texts, to everyday lunch dates, to night video calls. We're inseparable. When he passed the boards, got a job in Lucena then in Manila, we seldomly do the things that we used to do before. We only get to see each other once every 2 months and talk every night after he gets back to work. Same with me, I became very busy that sometimes instead of talking at night, I tell him I want to rest and sleep early. Our relationship doesn't get boring because of work. It gets exciting instead because we're slowly building our dreams together. There are times when I complain that he's too workaholic but he always makes me realize that he has deadlines to meet. He tells me that he's working hard to give me a future that I deserve. As of now, we're both working far from each other but our dreams and goals bind us together. Thank you always, Pau! :)

I'm not suppose to include this here but I just have to. My life update wouldn't be complete without my everyday routine and Shai Bakes is already part of it! As of now I'm really happy and grateful to all the people who's been supporting, trying and buying my baked goods. Having Shai Bakes is like having a baby. It excites me on how I see it grow. Its achievements and milestones are something I want to share with everyone. I have much to share and look forward to in my growing business and I want you guys to be part of it. The holidays is fast approaching and I'm looking forward to see your tables and Christmas set up with Shai Bakes on it! Watch out for our 11.11 SALE & GIVEAWAY!!! It's going to be a BIG one! :)

I really don't have a day off because I accept orders everyday. But, even for a short notice, I make it a point to spend some quality time with the people I want to laugh and tell stories with! My friends keep me sane! They're one of the best support system that I have and I'm really thankful for them. Chikas and food cravings bind us. On some days we're craving for burger, while on the next we'll go out for pizza! I don't know what's next? Nuggets maybe? Haha! I know I wouldn't survive my busy life right now without their memes on our chat box! Thanks for always keeping up with my schedule! I owe you cheesecakes on Christmas!!! Hahaha!

This was the most recent trip I went to! It was just last Sunday in our bukid. We had a plan of going there but I wasn't prepared because I was hesistant at first that it'll push through because of the weather. When we got there, it just happened that everyone was so excited and hopeful to push it! I can't do anything but join even if I wasn't prepared. I'm wearing a big shirt, denim shorts and slippers. We climbed a mountain (literal!!!) and I slid twice before we got there. I told myself I wouldn't go for a swim but when I got there, I just couldn't resist the cold and clean water from the falls! It was so tempting and everyone went for it! I wasn't prepared for half the adventure we went to but it was a memorable experience and worth the hike!

Let's keep in touch! I still have so many things to share! Watch out for outfit, foodie and skincare posts up next! See you! :)

xoxo,
