Make-up class with Artistry’s Victor Ortega
Last weekend, I was up early for one class I didn't want to miss - make-up lessons with Victor Ortega of Artistry, the high-end make-up brand of Amway. Prior to this event, I've been canvassing make-up schools in Manila, more out of interest than anything else. Am not about to open a beauty salon soon, but it is one thing I really want to learn. Even though I hardly use make-up myself, except for the reliable lipstick, I do believe that it goes a long way in enhancing one's looks and aura. We should approach it like art, and used wrongly, it can make us look like ... Continue Reading...
VNC shoes, for showing off your feet
As a woman, I have a love affair between shoes ~ and bags. I still have to think about what weighs more in my heart. Although logic should easily tell us you wear your shoes wherever you go, but a bag is something you can leave sitting on a chair or desk. So yes, shoes will always be a practical option.

I haven't been attending blog events lately, but this was one I ... Continue Reading...
Saizen store shopping tips, when everything is 85 pesos…
Mind you, 85 pesos sounds cheap, but when compounded to 25 or so items, can add up to a lot already. This is what happened to me when I bought 36 cute knick-knacks at the store, while still promising to come back for more. It's just good that the staff and cashiers are friendly and helpful. Here are my own tips for shopping sanely and effectively in Saizen, the authentic 100-yen (hyaku-en) shop in Manila, after Japan's very own Daiso chain of stores: 1. Look out for their products labelled Made in Japan. Some of the stuff is Made in China, and if you say China, you ... Continue Reading...
Saizen, 85-peso shop in Robinsons Galleria: the house of cute
Truth to tell, during my first (and only) visit to Tokyo in '05, budget constraints forced me to visit the 100-yen stores as my only option for buying 'pasalubong.' They were huge, housed in three to four-storey buildings with all kinds of stuff available. Fast forward to 2009, one need not fly as far because the real 100-yen (hyaku-en) shop named Saizen opened its first branch at the Robinsons Galleria last April 29. Everything at 85 pesos each! I have to admit: the extent of their offerings makes Japan Home Center a poor cousin. Must-buys here, in my opinion: ... Continue Reading...
