AMW Workshop Series by Nikki Tiu...Get Ready For Summer *FULL*





Today is finally the day I'll be sharing what I've been busy working on for the past month!   This has always been my dream to create my own Brand of workshop series!  Teaching has always been my first love and I'm glad this time, I can combine my love for beauty with teaching!  With words of encouragement from friends, family and AMW Readers, with the grace of God, this is finally happening!  My baby is here!  AMW Workshop Series by Nikki Tiu

Part 1 GET READY FOR SUMMER

I planned to have this on my blog's 8th year anniversary (January 28) or on the weekend of my birthday (February 28 is my birthday).  BUT, the year started out quite challenging so the date was moved to March 5th which is also a blessing in disguise because it paved way for me and brands to work closer together to make this happen!

When: March 5, 2016 (Saturday)
Time: 2:00pm-4:30pm
Where: SanCoCo (San Francisco Coffee)
Price: Php2,500.00/head

As much as I would like this to be a FREE workshop like I mostly do with other brands, I hope you understand that the amount you pay will definitely be worth it!  We get a good location (SanCoCo Coffee located at HV Dela Costa), the coffee shop started out just a couple of months ago and I already checked out the place and it is definitely a perfect place for my first workshop!  You get Coffee, snacks and 2.5 hours of makeup and skincare learning!  Aside from that, all attendees get to bring home goodies from wonderful sponsors (worth more than what you pay for I promise!)  

AND AND AND...

That's not it!  Attendees also get to win awesome prizes too!  Hey, this is my first workshop to kick off a wonderful series so the first will always be special so I made sure to make YOU feel special!  So please follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat (@AskMeWhats) as I may put up a teaser photo on what attendees get to bring home and what they also get to "win"!  Some prizes are already in my room at the moment and I'm feeling oh-so-giddy and excited!

For my first workshop, I will only be accepting a total of 12 attendees!  Sorry, the place is small and I want to make it more intimate, at the same time, for attendees to really learn the basics of skincare and makeup tips perfect for summer!  All you need to do is to fill up registration form HERE and I will email you back a confirmation email for payment details and other information needed.  This is a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis so even if I won't be able to answer emails immediately, the participants included will be based on the date and time I received the registration form.  Again, first 12 participants only girls! 

Are you excited?
I surely am!

Thank you so much to the wonderful sponsors who were so easy to talk to!  Thanks for being part of the first ever AMW Workshop and I am looking forward for more to come!  I hope to meet and see you gorgeous girl on March 5!




Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

AMW Wears: ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip (Bumble and Tulle)




ColourPop Cosmetics (especially their Ultra Matte Lip products) are the ultimate "It" thing if you follow Beauty Gurus on Youtube and Instagram!  Everyone's posting their loot and I can't help but wanted at least ONE of them even if I currently own gazillion of lip products!  And as much as I am proud to say I'm the type who has really strong will power, well, look....


Why Calyxta, why do you have to sell these?  You know what they say?  You learn more, you spend more!  hahaha  I learned so much about the various brand offerings they have when I attended their First Year Anniversary last December.   So I went home, browsed their online site, and told myself: "It is Christmas season, I deserve this!"

And got 2 shades of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in shades Bumble and Tulle!
Thankfully, the site currently sells limited shades so I don't have an excuse to hoard!

Holika Holika Wonder Drawing 1sec. Finish Browcara Review




If you follow me on Snapchat (@AskMeWhats) you've probably seen me unbox my first ever Althea box!  If you still follow me now, you've probably seen me unbox my 2nd Althea box.  YES!  Second, it is that addictive to shop at the newest Online Shopping site for hard-to-find Korean beauty products.   More about that later, but today, I will be sharing a review on one of the product included in the box.  The Holika Holika Wonder Drawing 1sec. Finish Browcara (can you spot it?)

Makati Diamond Residences Offers Champagne Brunch Buffet at Alfred Restaurant


 I have been scouring for good hotels and buffet all over the Metro for quite some time, little did I know I missed one right across Greenbelt 1 called Makati Diamond Residences.  Aside from providing serviced apartment and smart luxuries of a business hotel, they are also gearing up to be a "dining destination" with their unique offering called Champagne Brunch Buffet.

My Kitchen Helper: Glad Products




When we moved to our new home 2 years ago, Mr. AMW and I bought in a lot of plastic containers to store leftover dishes and other food items like crackers, chips, nuts, etc....  Turns out, using these plastic containers to store our leftover dishes aren't as money-saving as we thought it would be.  Food gets spoiled easily, chips and cookies lose their "Freshness" state in just a day or less!  I might as well throw all our money to the trash bin!

Last year, I've read this article from www.yummy.ph  and it was a lightbulb moment for me!  I always have Glad products in my kitchen (hoarding problem girls! :P)  and I use them mostly for cooking!  Ex. Extra Wide Seal variant to marinate my meat dishes
