#BloggersOffDuty Christmas Party at: Nest Modern Table & Bar






This is our #BloggersOffDuty Christmas Party wearing red lipsticks and cute headbands!  That's how Bloggers in Manila roll when we're not working!  We wear comfortable clothes, wear our favorite red lipstick shade and act crazy like no one's watching.  Best of all?  The inside "chikkas" and the "What Diet?" eating!

Here's a mini disclaimer about the food from NEST Modern Table & Bar.  We were supposed to pay for our meals but since we are bunch of pretty girls who showed arms and legs, we get to eat for free!  *laughs* 

JUST JOKING!

But since this is a #BloggersOffDuty party, we tried not to accept any "Blogging related" sponsorship in ANY FORM!  But since NEST MNL was kind enough to ask for our fellow Beauty Blogger Nicole to invite her friends (which turned out to be more than 10 pa!)  to have a bit of a taste on NEST cuisine, no need to BLOG or write about it...who can say no to that?

Gift Ideas: For The Active Women --- Yurbuds




Hi again AMW Friends!
I'm sharing another gift idea today!  You know why?  I'm actually panicking now as I'm going to shop for my inaanak (Godchildren), friends and family TODAY.  Yes, just 1 half day with Toddler AMW!  Wish me luck!

So as I was writing down the names of my gift recipients, I actually make sure I think about their likes, their lifestyle, their personality.  That's how it is for me to pick a gift for my loved ones!

And I actually came across with a good 'girl' friend who has almost everything!  Let's just say, she can get whatever she wants, since gift-giving for me will always be the "thought" that counts, I actually sat back and think about her lifestyle.  She likes to run, go to the gym for workout and she's also a hands-on mom!  Best of all?  Just like me, she loves music so here's one gift idea for someone just like my good friend!




Gift Ideas: For Your Wife, Mom, Sister and Bestfriend






It was funny when I told Mr. AMW I will attend a Swarovski Jewelry event, and he went: "Oh, they have jewelries?"  And I answered: "Tsk, you're sooo out of date and clueless!".

Then, I received an email showcasing the Holiday 2014 Collection of the Swarovski Watches, okay, I'm clueless too!  I didn't know Swarovski, the brand, makes time pieces and guess what?  They are beyond fashionable, they look classy, stylish with a substance! 

Le Sigh!

The reason why I made this post especially for YOU, who are rushing for last minute Christmas Shopping, these watches are perfect for the important women of your life!

Nivea Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes Review




Whenever I'm out for an event or a makeup gig, here's the scenario ---
I drive as fast as I can to go back to Toddler AMW, then, upon arriving, I pick him up, bring him to the room with me as I change and wash my face and hands!  

At the back of my head, I thought: "Mapapasma ako nito ng wala sa oras" (driving at least 2-3 hours per way), but who cares?  Rather than having my sun rub his cute li'l face against my "made up", never mind the sacrifices! 

And recently, I chanced upon Nivea Daily Essentials Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes meant for Dry and Sensitive skin.  I had to grab a pack and test it out!  I have tried so many makeup removing wipes and so far, only a few passed my standards!



These wipes are said to cleanse, tone and hydrate as it removes make up AND waterproof mascara!  Most wipes give me the eye string but it was printed on the packaging: "Suitable for Sensitive eyes".  So yes, that got me super excited!

GirlStuff Holiday 2014 Collection Made Me Extra Happy!





I am definitely singing the tune of: "I'm so excited!  And I just can't hide it!" 
Okay, readers who love the 80's music are probably singing along with me.  If you had this "HUH" look?  Okay, you're too young!  I know, please, no need to rub it in!  #Bitter :P

Yes, I got so excited when I received my GirlStuff Holiday 2014 Collection.  Long time AMW readers, who witnessed my weekly nail art tutorials probably saw me use the GirlStuff polishes even way back before they have their own kiosks!  (Check out some of my nail art tutorials using GirlStuff Nail Polishes HERE).  Okay, you don't see a lot in the link I showed you because I failed to "tag" the nail polishes brands on my past nail art tutorials!  So yes, you can only see the recent ones! 

Here's my first Yum Yum Holiday Nails all thanks to GirlStuff Polish in Pink (as base) topped with Confetti Polish in I (heart) U.


Yes girls, you are probably scared to do nail art because you just have wobbly hands!  Fear no more!  With the Confetti Collection, you can do your own nail art in minutes!  Just top off your favorite nail polish base shades with the new Confetti Collection.
