Caramoan Island

Hi guys! Hope you are having a great week! My family and I just got home from a one-week vacation in my husband's province. I decided to write up a blog about our most memorable beach trip on Caramoan Island located in Camarines Sur. The island is famous for its powdered white sand, crystal clear blue water, a very breathtaking view, limestone & rock formations, and a giant bangus in Matukad Island (sorry for not having a photo of that mystery fish I can't climb I have acrophobia) and last but not the least this is the shooting location of the famous reality tv show "Survivor".

Feeling castaway with my solo pictorial. LOL! 

This is a wonderful view of the island! It's very mesmerizing! It's like I'm in a different world! Very relaxing and peaceful!

More coconut juice to quench our thirst.

We hired a boat and we paid 3k for our unlimited island hopping. We are 6 in a group my husband and I together with his siblings. 

My husband is from Catanduanes we booked an airplane and from Catanduanes we rode a tricycle with a 30-minute travel time, then we arrived at the codon port to rent a boat travel time is for 2 hours to reach the beautiful island of Caramoan. 

This trip is definitely one for the books! Thank you for reading and for my next out-of-town beach trip!

Skin 101 Beauty 101 Me Time

Skin 101 is a popular skin clinic celebrating a Beauty 101 Me Time event at Ascott BGC. We saw on their Facebook page that they will be having an upcoming event for free so my friends and I joined in and luckily we all got an invite. As a skincare enthusiast, I am obsessed with glowing skin! I tried to take good care of my skin and use my favorite products of moisturizer, serum, sunscreen, eye cream, and sheet mask.

They had a skincare talk and offered free skin consultation after, Benefit Cosmetics is one of their sponsors. 

They also introduced their newest treatment called Ultheraphy. 

Ultheraphy is the only non-invasive procedure FDA-approved treatment to lift the skin on the brow area, neck, and under the chin. The therapy uses Ultrasound to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, which lifts and tightens the skin.

They invited makeup artists to share more makeup hacks, tips, and tricks. 

We devoured on there dessert buffet which I enjoyed. Then after the event they gave us a free facial and RF gift certificate we can use it at any Skin 101 Branch. Big thanks Skin 101! We learned a lot and we had so much fun! 

SM Manila's Blogger for Women's Month

Hi to all my pretty readers,

Good morning! I'm in the mood to blog early because yesterday I had so much fun! If you've been following me on my Instagram account you would probably know that I attended a pampering session sponsored by SM Manila. I am one of the 30 Bloggers who won a Women's Month Blogging contest. I did a review of a product that I purchased on SM. They choose 30 bloggers because of their 30th Mall Anniversary honestly we all waited for one month to avail our prizes. But it's okay the most important is we got it.

The first thing that we do is we went to Flawless to get a facial. Sorry for my face LOL! The beauty consultant said I don't have a lot of skin problems on my face except for my tiny warts. So I need to remove that early or else it will multiply. Yikes!!!     

SM Manila hired its own professional photographer they are following us wherever we go to document our pampering session. We feel like a celebrity yesterday posing to the camera and smiling, the people are all staring at us. 

They also gave us their calling card.

After the facial, we went straight to Brow Studio. My co-winner also my new friend are both excited about this because we can't live without putting our brows on so before the brow makeover begins we take a selfie first, sorry we don't have makeup here because of did a facial earlier.

The pampering session is done so it's time for us to get our freebies from selected sponsors. We went straight to Snoe Beauty to get our free brow pencil and I will review this product soon. 

After that, we went to Thrift Market also to get our freebies. We are expecting that they will give us clothes hehe but it's okay we still like the accessories though.

The next stop is George Optical they gave us a contact lens, I got my color in Beach Bronze. 

The last part of getting our goodies we went to The Body Shop but they cant accommodate us for the Makeup Makeover because we don't have enough time but its okay we can avail that soon anytime we want.

They also gave us a 200 peso coupon.

We also did not finish the pampering session because of the time but we can also use this GC soon from Freshaire Salon to get our nails done. 

Unfortunately, we did not get the freebies from Tony Moly and  Etude House because the goodies are not ready yet but the marketing assistant told us that she will send all the freebies to our doorstep once the freebies are ready.

We had a group selfie first before we exit the mall. So that's it! We had so much FUN! A once a lifetime experience and also an advanced Mother's Day gift for me. I am happy that I met a new circle of friends who also has the same passion for beauty. Thank you so much SM Manila for making it possible! #WOWSMManila
