Something New: Hollywood in a Bottle by Nick Chavez

Aside from make-up or skincare, I'm also a fan of hair products because I've always been nosey with my hair! Yeah, it all started with hair!

I've always been a fan of long stick straight hair, but after my wonderful hair cut from Mr. Jeaves Gabiana of the Basement Salon Shangri-la Branch, my layers needed the "volume" and "lift" to see the overall look of my cut!

When I found out that there is one company who believe in gorgeous, shiny, candy-colored, sensuous beauty, high-volume hair for even the most quiet life. The company who wants us to get in touch with our true roots, find rich, bouncy fullness with the unmistakable Beverly Hills sensibility no matter who or where I am, that made me say "Hello..why not?" And that's from The Beverly Hills Salon in a Bottle.

Nick Chavez has worked for over 15 years to create an innovative hair care line with products that help your hair achieve that special Star Quality whether you are a Red Carpet Glamor Girl or the Hottest Mom at Soccer Practice!

Weekend Food Tripping at: New President's Restaurant

The President's Restaurant has been around the China Town area for as long as I remember. A lot of gatherings, birthday parties, graduation parties, organization get together were held there at least once! So when the news of the President's Restaurant closing down, a lot of panic came from the Filipino Chinese Community as it is a place we've grown with.

So when the news came that the restaurant has FINALLY opened after a year or more, we have to dine in there! I love it that I can still see familiar faces from Ying Ying Restaurant (same owners) and I am even happier to see the nice ambiance! And of course...clean washrooms!

Take a look at the photo above taken on a Tuesday night! Yes, on a weeknight and almost all tables have been filled!

Yang Chow Fried Rice
Php200.00 (approx $4.00)
for small order

I know, in every Chinese restaurant I go to, there's always Yang Chow Fried Rice, why? Well it's a measurement for me to know if a Chinese restaurant is good or not, by tasting their Fried Rice! I swear, if they can cook the fried rice perfectly, expect a wonderful meal!

Minched Spinach Seafood Soup
Php350.00 (approx $7.15)
for small order

If you want to be as strong as Popeye but do not want the taste of "leaves", go for Spinach Soups! I love it that it's so tasty you wouldn't even know it's vegetables! I love the mix of spinach, eggs and shrimps!

Sauteed Australian Scallops
with Seasonal Vegetables
Php920 (approx $19.00)
for small order

I am a fan of Broccoli but I could never be satisfied with broccolis served on restaurants, why? Because I want my broccoli to be clean, I tend to see a lot of "dirt" in between the stems and the flower..so I'll go for the scallops! Fresh scallops served on wonderful sauce.

Beef with Crispy Noodles
Php250.00 (approx $5.10)
for small order

Beef tenderloin that melts into my tongue and crispy noodles that's crunchy and soft at the same time. The combination is perfect!

I am glad the President's is back! Expect me to go there more often as I'm impressed with the interior, the food, the service and the smiles!

I Wonder: "What's the best Lipstick Shade for Special Events?"

Happy weekend gorgeousness!!! I will be off for a super early gig this morning so I won't look gorgeous at all! lol Since I will be on a gig for a special "Prenup" photo shoot, it is given that the "bride-to-be" should look gorgeous on photos on ALL angles. What's the best eye makeup? What's the best blush on?? And I've realized that I haven't tackled much about the "best lipstick" for very special moments.

When I was browsing through my lipstick collection, I've always wanted something "perfect" for events like Weddings, Engagements, my dear friend Beatrilicious, told me about the "This Is It" lipstick for all occasions! I researched...and she's right. Everyone's raving about MAC's Satin Lipstick in Twig! Twig doesn't sound right on special occasions BUT, it does look right!

**photo taken from Hooked on Beauty

MAC's Twig is known for it's soft muted brownish-pink color, which has a Satin Finish that is color-rich, soft satin, semi-matte finish and conditions while adding intense color. No wonder it's said to be a must have for any make-up artist. Check out the swatch on my lips!

Now, I wonder:

"What's the Best Lipstick Shade for special occasion?"

I am excited to know!!!
Gosh, I have a feeling there will be so many brands and shades that would pop up!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
