Pinoy Skateboarders just got the chance of their lives with the adrenaline charged showdown happening at Circuit Makati. Up for grabs for our amateur Filipino skateboarders is a chance to win a trip to the Dew Tour USA, one of the biggest and most-awaited events for skaters around the world.

Meditation is a way for us to take a pause and untangle ourselves from the trap that is adulting.

Okay, seriously though, if we feel too much stress, we tend to get boxed in. Meditation helps us to calm our mind, notice our senses further and bring awareness to thoughts. It is not about shutting the mind though, or our thoughts, but letting them wander freely. This is great because Wandering allows Creativity.

Yoga is a great way to reach your center and meditate. Yoga also is getting pretty popular for it's healing properties, proper breathing development and for extending your patience, as well as the hard core reason : STRESS KILLER. :D Most especially if you practice consistency, even for just 1 hour a day everyday.

I was always curious with stuff, especially Vaping, as my brother in law does it and my husband really wanted to try it a long time ago. But I also saw how tedious it was to set things up, and I was kinda bothered with the amount of cumulus type of vapor coming out, especially when driving. Figured it was kinda hard to see or something like that. Parang nag fog lang sa buong car teh. hahahaha!



Then I got the chance to check out Vype a couple of days ago. Unlike the other vape out there, this guy takes only seven seconds of our time to assemble. A bit faster than the Avengers. hahahaha! Also, it is a pen type design which looks pretty sleek and handy.

Beaches, Sand, summer fashion and your skin having a healthy glow thanks to a regular dose of vitamin D, are just a few of the perks of living in a tropical country.



This also means it’s nearly always sandal-seaon. While not necessarily a drawback, it does take a lot of work to make sure your tips and toes are perpetually ready to be on display.

So I have 2 easy steps for you guys to take home an awesome Apple Macbook Air. :)

Step One: Get sweet and start waxing!



Yes! You heard me! So we all know that usually, waxing is a pain in where ever you're getting waxed, but let me tell you that if you're headed to a place where it is is all-natural, organic, practically painless, and sweeter than sugar, then it's all worth it.

After all, waxing reduces chicken skin and whitens the Underarm area yes? Plus, who can say no to no hair or very very fine hair in unwanted places? :D



Now, Hey Sugar is largely considered one of the most trusted, preferred and ideal destinations for everyone’s diverse grooming needs. But as if these perks weren’t enough, Hey Sugar is sweetening the deal even more.

Step Two: Get your raffle ticket and WIN!

Life at the lake starts with a roadtrip with friends, bound for Brgy. Kinalaglagan, Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas. We had plans to check out Pusod Taal Lake Conservation Center (TLCC), and just take some time for an adventure outside the urban jungle. What we experienced though is something far more breathtaking than a mere beautiful postcard scenery...

Millennials, or people born in between 1980 and 2000, are opting for a workplace that will encourage them to stay active, if only this will be embedded in every company culture. About 83 percent or eight (8) in 10 millennials have agreed that they would like their company workplace to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle.



Now, according to a survey from Herbalife Nutrition, their findings from its Asia Pacific Millennials At Work Survey reveal that although Filipino millenials are adapting and aiming for a healthy and active lifestyle, they feel that their current workplace environment hinders them from attaining said active lifestyle.

Interior Design incorporates the aspect of community and design into one entity by means of innovation, creativity and inclusivity. Through the creative interpretation of our traditional Filipino Nursery rhymes, the pioneer Interior Design graduating batch of De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde launches it's capstone project, ABaKaDa: Himig + Titik.

The said Interior Design graduating batch of DLS- CSB had a renovation project for four day care centers in Manila, to support the dream of a better community, through the children.

The barangays partnered with DLS-CSB’s Center for Social Action, they embraced and took action to build a strong and unique bond with the CSB students through these different daycare centers. Each design was uniquely conceptualized from the nostalgia and cultural essence of traditional Filipino nursery rhymes, all infused with the learning strategies efficient today.

Instead of the usual interior design exhibit, the students of DLS-CSB tells the story and documentation of how they started,from the roots of the day care rooms to its flourishing improvement. The exhibit leads you into that journey of transformation, unveiling its secrets through a display of photographs, video presentations, and its primary highlight—physical miniature models of each daycare center’s finished and current appearance.

Last month, I had a series of hair changes. I went from damaged and bleached hair, got it repaired and deep conditioned, changed it accidentally to a Slytherin green hair at the ends because I was bored, and then I got bored again, so I went to this salon near our office in Makati for another makeover.



HairFix 2911 offers a wide range of beauty services including waxing, hair treatments, makeup, facials, manicures, pedicures, body treatments, cosmetic injectables and massage. I went there though just to have my hair colored and maybe a bit of manicure on the side. :D
