Look your best in every virtual work call with these beauty tweaks

As part of the new normal, many people are now working from home, sitting in front of computers for most of the day.

Why You Need To Choose The Right Shapewear

We ladies know that shapewear can instantly create a big difference in how women look. Shapewear is designed to trim the tummy, shape the waistline, and give us that toned look. It is the staple that every woman must have in her closet. Who wouldn't like to get rid of that muffin top and suck back that tummy fat in no time? NO. ONE.

All of us deserve to look good and feel confident regardless of our body shape. I tell you, Shapewear can make you look slimmer whether you are on a fitness outfit, casual or formal wear. Personally, when I need to look best for an important event, I turn to my good old shapewear for an instant fix and rescue.

WAIST TRAINER SHAPEWEAR VEST FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Why you should love wearing Shapewear? Aside from improving confidence and self-esteem, it can also help correct your posture. It can also eliminate those muffin tops immediately and it somehow compliments your weight loss efforts.

SEAMLESS SHAPEWEAR FOR WOMEN

There are different types of shapewear which comes in a variety of styles designed for different purposes. That's why it is best to know how to choose the right shapewear based on what you need. 

Here are some of the different types of shapewear which I find a must-have:

Bodysuits Shapewear

They help shape the area from bust to the hip. They work well to smooth out and hold in all the problem areas. Some bodysuits also turn into shorts at the bottom so the slimming effects are extended to control your thighs. Panels of elasticated material pull in your waist, flatten your stomach and smooth out your back while supporting and enhancing your cleavage. They fit snugly to give you overall shaping and even include your bottom so you know you look perfectly trim from all angles. The only downside is that they can be kind of pain for bathroom trips. Pro tip: Best Bodysuit shapewear does have snaps in the crotch area to solve that issue. So look for one that the crotch has an opening design to provide convenience

Camisoles/ Tanks Shapewear
Camisoles are quite flexible and you can still choose to wear a bra underneath if you want. I find this he most relaxed style for shapewear and the most comfortable ones.  They look like a regular tank top, but they help control the tummy, create a flattened defined look. 

Control Briefs Shapewear

Control briefs are designed to minimize your tummy and come in almost as panties. There are high-waist briefs, high-waist boyshorts, or high-waist panties. You even can get extra flirt on in padded hipster panties designed to enhance your curves.

Waist Taming Shapewear

Waist Taming is excellent for tummy control because it runs from the hips to just below the breasts. They work well to keep the tummy tucked in. A waist taming shapewear is like a traditional corset and designed to take instant inches off your waist. It includes bones as well as stretch material for more efficient body shaping and can include laces to give your body a bespoke tightening effect. They are very powerful and can take as much as four inches off your waist. They may not be comfortable enough to be worn for long periods and do not provide long-lasting results when compared to waist training.

Waist Training Shapewear

Waist training involves embarking on a programme that includes exercise and corset wearing to help your waist change its shape on a more permanent basis, whereas waist taming only applies for the time the garment is worn. Women in all sizes who aim to lose inches off their waist wear and prefer this shapewear. This is actually my most favorite type of shapewear.

Plus-size women wear it for long hours. Some would even sleep into their plus size waist trainer for women to help encourage the muscles around their waist to change form and adapt to a new, reduced shape. The bones in a waist trainer will also be a little more flexible as they are made from plastic rather than steel. They are easier to put on as they include hook and eye fasteners instead of laces, although this means they can’t be adjusted as easily.

Thigh Slimmer Shapewear

Thigh slimmer can help firm up the tummy, rear, hips, and thighs. They are great options to wear under your pants, long skirts, or dresses. They are one of the best.

Body Slip Shapewear

Shaping slips cover your body from your breasts or even your shoulders down to your thighs or knees. They can smooth you out all over and make sure that no lines from any other underwear are visible. They will pull in your waist, flatten your tummy and can also reduce your hips and remove any wobbliness to give you a perfectly sleek outline or an hourglass figure. Body slips give you a sleek silhouette that looks great under all the trendy outfits. Do you love strapless dresses? Body slips come with detachable straps.

FULL BODY SHAPER FOR WOMEN TUMMY CONTROL

There are great options available to serve different purposes. Find the best style that works for you. With the help of the right shapewear, having a fabulous body figure has never been this easy. At the end of the day, no matter if you are trying to lose weight, snapback your prenatal body after pregnancy, or want to look glamorous on your big day, wearing shapewear will help you reduce inches and waistline instantly. That is the magic of wearing shapewear!

Your Footwear Defines Your Character, So Choose Wisely!

A lot of things in life around you determine certain qualities that you possess while others are shaped by your personality. Every action makes people form a judgment about you. Whatever you do or say gives people an idea about the type of personality you have. Similarly, what you wear also speaks volumes about you. Shoes, especially in this matter, are known to clearly define you as a person. As the famous saying goes ‘you can judge a man by his shoes’, it is also true for women. So let’s have a look at what different shoes and sandals say about the woman wearing them.

Which is Better? Gold Bracelets or Gold Bangles

  

Compared with ancient and present gold jewelry, modern gold jewelry is more concise and elegant, reducing some kind of "cheesiness". There are a lot of people who buys gold custom name bracelets in their daily life, and many of which are torn between gold bracelets and bangles. So which one is better to buy— gold bracelets or bangles?

SECOSANA BAGS LAUNCHES THE ALEX GONZAGA COLLECTION

From international and even to local brands, the current wave of having collection collaboration between fashion and beauty brands and celebrities is nothing new. However, throughout the years, this practice has lost its luster due to brands creating their own designs and simply using the names of their ambassadors and endorsers, and then declare these as “collaborations”. In this day and age where the “woke” market seeks for transparency and authenticity, efforts such as these may prove detrimental to the brand.

EVENT | WATSON'S HAIR AFFAIR - COLOR YOUR HAIR COLOR YOUR LIFE

You would notice in my photos here in the blog that I have been wearing my hair in different colors for sometime already. I started touching -up my originally black hair with a touch of brown.
Slowly, as the years went by, that shade of brown becomes lighter and lighter until such time that I had the courage to just play on with a lot of colors and did an ombre.

Early last year, I had that certain guts and dared to color my tresses with a touch of cherry red. Then it became green, and then pink and then peach and then deep red and it goes on and on.

STYLE | Busy days

Once again, I went on MIA. I feel that my January, February and March just flew by so fast cause here we are, another week is ahead of us. It's the 7th of April and I so much feel that so much has happened during the past 3 months. We live in a very busy environment that most of the time I just don't realize that everything is happening so quick. Summer is really callinnggggg.... ang init init na. Perfect moment to head down for a holiday, take a deep breath, slow down and just appreciate everything that I have and what is yet to come.

Today's outfit post is still a backlog post ---> Obviously with my green hair still... :) :) I'm positive, I would be able to cope up with all of this logs pretty soon....

STYLE | Big Things Coming

Hi and hello everyone! Happy happy March! :) Long time no post from me!!! Na -miss ko 'to and kayo... No bola yan.... :) I know I'm super behind na... (with all the backlog posts and all). Super many pending blog post talagaaa!!! Obviously, my hair is still green pa nga in the photos so you may expect atleast 4 to 5 blog posts pa from me with the green hair :)  

A number of you have been sending me private messages asking how I am, kumusta na ba ako or buhay pa ba akooo... Thank you! Thank you, I feel so loved cause a number of you care :)  

So what's the real reason why I went MIA(missing in action)? 

Things have become pretty crazy busy right after the holidays - yep, you heard me right! After the holidays pa!!! Tagal na diba?! Although, I admit, every year naman talaga eh nagiging busy kami everytime pumapasok ang January  because of the sunod-sunod na celebrations - birthdays, anniversary, school happenings of the daughter, you may include our short vacation cause January is the month when we are hibernating from all the pagod we acquired from all the events that we had. With all that said, you may already imagine our usual yearly "january happenings". Every year, sanay na ako ng ganun lagi. However, this 2015, we had a  different January. A SUPER BUSY but a VERY GOOD and BLESSED one because of a new project that has been awarded to our us. Ang ganda ng pasok ng 2015 to us 'cause we have been praying for this one and it came. Yun nga lang it was so challenging because of the 3 -weeks time frame given. 

Believe me, when I got the news, tumigil ang mundo ko. Ang daming apprehensions if we are to go for it and push it pa ba. But then again, when the Husby and I talked, we said to ourselves, "KAYA NATIN YAN. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE AS LONG AS WE WILL WORK TOGETHER!" And that's the reason kaya sobrang na-toxic yung schedule ko.  My schedule got so pre-occupied that I had to set aside posting some updates here in the blog, in IG and even in the account of my pop-up shops  too... ( Di-nelay ko lang naman ng konti). Syempre, dun muna tayo sa mas may pangkabuhayan showcase... hahaha! (joke lang..)

Kidding aside, I really learned a lot from that 3 weeks time! I came to a realization that you can't always wait for success to come to you (In simple words sa tagalog, wag kang magpatumpik-tumpik lang!)

Be excellent in every work that you do so you will be noticed. One must take the initiative to do more what is expected of you each day. Then, when the opportunity presents itself, go and take the steps you need to make the most of it. Be pro-active so that you will be able to attain the success you desire ~ Do it! And if it doesn't heat up, do it again and again and again. 'Wag na 'wag susuko!  :)

On another note, check out these photos of me - still with green hair pa yan (Payat pa ako jan~Promise I gained weight from the all the holiday eating we had, dagdagan mo pa ng stress eating sa mga ganap sa buhay ko ;p )

STYLE| Happiness

Hey hey hey!!! So how was your Christmas? I bet all of you had fun and very happy during the Holidays. :) 

I do understand though that there are times in our lives when we feel so down that it comes to a point where being happy can already be a tricky task. Ito yung tinatawag na panahon ng sumpong, wala sa mood o basta wala ka lang gana sa mga nangyayari sa buhay mo. Pero since Chrismas Season ngayon... dapat lagi tayong masaya ok!

STYLE | Burst of Colors

Are you staring blankly in your closet full of clothes and yet you are still stucked for ideas on what to wear during the holidays? You are not alone!!! Bakit kaya ganito tayong mga girls ano… No matter how siksik with clothes our closet are, we still blurt out that we have nothing to wear. Di ko naman pwedeng masabing arte –arte lang kasi subok naman talagang lahat tayong girls eh nakaka –experience ng ganito.
