Why Heart Evangelista and I Share the Same "Home" Sentiments

 

A few years back, my brother and I would meet up every single weekend for a month for "home" hunting.  It was a "rush" project for us because it was a surprise home for our parents and my brother only had a month vacation to choose the right home.

 He is an architect - a VERY good one if I may have to say, he has been working overseas building homes, apartments, commercial units and condominiums!  That said, he has high requirements and special taste in finding the ONE.

 When I e-met Ms. Heart Evangelista a few days back for the launch of RLC Residences, I understood her really well when she talked about her ideal home because that was exactly how me and my brother felt in finding a good home.

Heart is a true icon in terms of fashion and good will.  She is consistently an advocate for local Filipino Artisans' Work and her passion for raising the bar speaks to RLC Residences' own commitment to developing well-crafted living spaces for Filipinos to live their best lives - that said, there is no other perfect ambassador for RLC Residences but Ms. Heart Evangelista.

Let us talk about RLC Residences.  When I watched the online launch, I can see their model unit to be OUR model unit!  a 100sqm unit that is modern and designed for the best living possible.  As the brand's tagline goes: "RAISE, LIVE, CONNECT". 

A space that is not too big yet spacious enough to move around and connect with your family! 

I have seen so many condo units and my complaint would always be: "Waste of Space!".  And with the model unit I've seen at RLC Residences, each room was well-planned with natural elements like wood, stone and lighting all blended well together. 

 


Aside from checking on the Condo Unit, it is important to look into the location - it must be central and near from school, work, or places you frequent.  There must be also easy access to amenities and safety and security is also number one key feature which RLC Residences have!


Thankfully, RLC Residences understands all the requirements for a very busy and multi-faceted life like Heart and the rest of the Filipinos.  I can't wait to check out more of their units in the future and same as Heart, this pandemic has made me rethink of a home as a place NOT ONLY TO SLEEP IN but a place to really connect with the family and create more memories!

 

In the coming months RLC Residences and Heart will be working on a number of collaborations never before seen in the Philippine property scene. Stay tuned for updates on the exciting things up ahead for the brand and Heart by liking and following RLC Residences official pages: Facebook @RLCResidencesPH and Instagram @RLC_Residences

Full Lashes + True Red Lipstick for Hump Day!

 


A good red lipstick can cure any tired look!  

The busieset days for me - Tuesdays and Wednesdays!  Those are the 2 days I felt the most lifeless!  I usually ended up taking a nap because I would feel super drowsy and sleepy by 9pm #trueAuntie 

When I received a welcome 2021 package from Avon Philippines, it was a very nice gesture because they added chocolates from local Chocolate brand Theo & Philo.  It was an instant booster for me.


I immediately tried the Avon Red Supreme Collection lipstick in True Red and their Power Stay Mascara and I was impressed!

Check this out!


With just a few strokes of blush and liner, I look fully made up!

What’s your secret to survive Hump Day?

Graffiti Nail Art with Orly Dreamscape Collection

 

Happy February Nails!

Looking back, I used to do nail art on a weekly basis - both finger and toe nails!  Gosh, how busy can motherhood be!!!  VERY!

Fellow moms would understand. 

Now, I have grown, I have matured, my nail art designs are more laidback, casual and not as wild as those that I’ve done in the past but I am not closing my doors.

I hope you like this simple art.  I like using “Collection” in terms of choosing the right colors because 99.9% of the time, they work!

Have a great Tuesday!

Hairstyle Tutorial: Scarf Bun

 

Hi Hair lovers!

I have mentioned this so many times, I enjoy styling my hair even at this day and age.  I mean how does a 40 plus years old women hair look like in the past? 

Thinking about my mom, it has always been short, or in ponytail?  Or just plain straight with a bit of resistance (from hairspray! Hahaha)

Times have changed.  Things are different.  Women in the 30s, 40s and 50s can look like a teenager!  All thanks to Social Media because we are more aware of trends no matter how busy we are.

I, on the other hand, has been living in ponytail and bun!  I have been busy the whole day doing houehold chores and mom and wife tasks I don’t have time to look good or appear human in most days!  

Since I have a couple of Zoom meetings in between looking like a slob, I am finding easy ways to “up” my hairstyling game without a lot of effort.

Do you like this?



A very simple bun without using hairpins but just a single non-slip rubber band!  Keyword: A non-slip rubber band is a must to keep the bun and scarf in place!


Pick a medium to large sized scarf like the one I used from Mango.  Bit scarves have more weight and control so it’ll fall off nicely.
