AMW and Char Char as The Purple Groom's Brand Ambassadors

When The Purple Groom contacted me and Char Char to be one of their Brand Ambassadors, I did not hesitate one bit as I want to have good memories and photos with my furry friend Char Char.

Char Char's mom Lucky was a gift to me by my uncle, when Lucky gave birth to Pudding and Char Char, she underwent caesarian operation in which Lucky turned out not to recognize her puppies!  Because we don't want Char Char and Pudding to die out of hunger, my mom and I took turns feeding them every hour for the next 3 weeks.  It was a difficult task but I didn't mind at all as I love them dearly.

Fast forward to 7 years after, I'm glad to have this chance to share to the world how much I love dogs in general!

It was a lovely day at The Purple Groom, California Garden Branch.  The store is quite huge as compared to other pet grooming stores I have been to. 

I was told that The Purple Groom offers no-frills complete grooming package for our pets.  Groomers are certified licensed dog handlers who can make the grooming experience comfortable for our lovely friends!  And the cute mission?  "Is to make every pooch happy and clean".  Don't we owners love that?

Since it was a photoshoot with the owner, yours truly was also groom *ahem* made up!

Melai from The Face Shop, did my makeup using all The Face Shop products except for the Glambox Mink Lash that I brought and my Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick Passionnee in which she happily helped me applied.

Thank goodness Ed from Bench Fix Salon was there to help me style my hair!  I was in a rush that morning so my hair looks limp, straight and boring!

Of course, while I was made up, my dearest Char Char is also going through his own makeover!

Thanks to a fellow pet-lover photographer Benjie Tiongco from Benji Tiongco Photography for the patience and the directions!  He definitely knows how to take good angles not only on human but pets as well!

Char Char was obviously exhausted but still managed to look at the camera

The glamorous life is definitely not for him! :P

AMW Reports: Sophie Martin Paris Makeup Talk

Sophie Martin Paris invited me and 2 other bloggers to be part of the Sophie Showtime: Unleashing the Fearless SOPHIEnista!  We were invited to speak on topics we're familiar with --- Beauty and Fashion.  The event was held at the Sophie Head Office Showroom on a lovely Saturday!  

As I entered the showroom, a huge back drop greeted me and a stage where I will be doing a makeup demo! 

P.S. My mirror was sitting pretty on top of the table! :)

I was able to check out some of the Sophie Paris Cosmetics laid out neatly on the table and I familiarized myself to each of the products as I'll be using them for demonstration.

AMW Wears: For a Makeup Workshop

Last weekend, I was invited by our friends from Sophie Martin Paris to do a speaking/training engagement on makeup application for their company. 

What to wear on professional event?

 Dress: Shannaholic Navy Blue Dress, Belt: SM Accessories, Necklace: CMG

Bag: LV Speedy 30 Shoes: Prima Donna Nude Open Toed Pumps

Since my dress can make me look like a 40-year old woman if not accessorized properly, I've decided to use a huge black necklace that matches the color of my belt for a more playful vibe.

Nude pumps has always been a friend of mine!  I've decided to use one of the most comfortable open-toed pumps which I bought from Prima Donna.  The reason for choosing this pair of shoes is because for the fact that I can stand on these shoes for hours minus the aches and pains!

Polish shade: Revlon Nail Enamel in Fearless.

As for hair and makeup, I've decided to keep it simple as the makeup training focuses on daytime and work-appropriate makeup. I should set a good example! *winks*

What would you wear if you are joining a company event?

Sunshorts: Oh my Goth!

Friday the 13th, a day of bad luck!
A black cat passed by you, oh no!  You're in bad luck!

Seven-year itch, relationships will fail.

We Filipinos have so many beliefs and superstitions no one can tell which holds true or false!  Personally speaking, I believe in creating your own luck!  If you wake up in the morning expecting bad luck to come your way, chances are, you may indeed have a bad day!  As for me, I always wake up thanking God and looking each day as a day full of possibilities!  Armed with a positive attitude may not guarantee a positive day but at least, with a positive outlook, it is easier for me to create a back up plan on how to deal with life's daily challenges.

Watch one of the 5 short film Sun Shorts: Oh My Goth!  It stars my favorite "Halloween" Lola!

(Five digital short films by five renowned film directors were done to interpret Sun Life's Brand Promise of "Life's brighter under the Sun".)

Since we're on the topic of backup plan, I can still recall my mom's failed operation almost 3 years ago and she has nothing to secure her hospitalization bills or operation costs.  That's when I realized the importance of having my own insurance plan.  Spending a big chunk of my salary/earning for a life insurance has never crossed my mind.  Until one day, when I realized I'm not getting any younger and I do get sick every now and then, I contacted my Aunt who's a Sun Life sales agent and seek advised from her for a good insurance plan that matched my lifestyle. After purchasing my own plan at Sun Life early this year, I have this strange sense of security that money can't buy!  I can't believe it took me this long to secure my future.

Before I end this post, Sun Life is having a flyaway promo to San Francisco, USA!  Smile and click HERE to know the mechanics!

Do you believe in superstitions?
How do you deal with everyday "bad luck"?
Do you have a backup plan for your future?

How to Lighten Your Brows

I have colored hair for as long as I can remember and mind you, all these years, I have thick, dark brows so they never match with my hair color!

Thank goodness for existence of lighter brow pencils!  I bought several especially during my Seoul, Korea trip and it helped lighten the look of my brows!

Just when I thought lighter shade of eyebrow pencil is the answer to my brow problem, I was introduced to the world of brow gels!  My favorite was the one I bought in Singapore called SANA Styling W Brow,  I was able to tint my brows with not much effort!  A couple of weeks ago, I posted this photo on Instagram after an event and I received emails and comments asking me for a tutorial on how I do my brows.

Well, you're in luck!  It's "This is How I Do It: My Brows --- AMW Style"!  I find this the best and easiest technique to create fuller, lighter-looking brows that lasts the whole day!
