Levi’s 501 Originals Trend Details

A good pair of jeans goes a LONG way!  Figuratively and literally!

One brand I highly depend on when it comes to jeans is —-  Levi's® 501®

Through the many eras and styles of the last century and a half, there has been one constant: the Levi's® 501®. Straight leg, button fly — it’s the iconic blue jean embraced by everyone from factory workers, to movie stars, to rockstars, to computer programmers, to Presidents, to some of the most prominent voices in the movement space...and on May 20th, we’re celebrating 501® Day, the 148th birthday of the original blue jean. For Levi's® 501® Day 2021, we’re shining a spotlight on a new generation of Levi's® Originals. Seven original voices who know how to effortlessly blend style, creativity, authenticity, and purpose — Naomi Osaka, Hailey Bieber, Emma Chamberlain, Barbie Ferreira, Jaden Smith, Marcus Rashford, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — as well as their favorite ways to wear their Levi's® 501®s. Each one demonstrates a modern expression of what has made the Levi's® 501® a cultural icon.

A perfect canvas for creative expression, the 501® has been a staple of youthful style since the mid-twentieth century. From Marlon Brando in 1953’s The Wild One, to the well-worn Summer of Love style during the late 1960s, to 1970s punk, to the dark indigo, oversized look of NWA in the late ‘80s, the 501® has long been the go-to for cool kids. And much of that comes down to the 501®’s classic simplicity. Dressed up or dressed down, worn fitted or oversized, dark or faded, straightforward or customized, it’s the heart and soul of not only Levi's® but of modern fashion. A humble work pant made from durable denim with a silhouette that can be worn by many. The grandfather of all blue jeans, any jean today is an iteration of this original. With the Levi's® 501®, no two pairs are the same, and that makes it a true original.

“The 501® is the original blue jean so it made sense to celebrate our icon with this cast of ORIGINALS. We are inspired by the emotional connection they each have with the 501® - their personal styles & stories make the jean so uniquely their own.” — Karen Riley-Grant, Levi’s® Chief Marketing Officer

Of course, the story of the Levi's® 501® is not just about enduring style. It’s also about sustainability. It’s a throwback to the days when things were built to last, swimming against the tide of today’s disposable fashion. Levi's® 501®s are not only highly durable, but they also look better with age, meaning you’ll hold onto them for longer. And, thanks to Levi's® Tailor Shop, 501® jeans can also be repaired, giving them an even longer lifespan. Plus, with Levi's® Water<Less, the modern 501®is finished using up to 96% less water than in typical denim finishing, making them a much more sustainable denim option.

All of this will come to a head on May 20th, 501® Day with a full day of programming featuring Levi's® Originals talent – Coffee Talk with Emma Chamberlain, Hailey Bieber and Barbie Ferreira on YouTube Live, Naomi Osaka and Marcus Rashford gaming on Twitch, YouTube Live performances from the Levi's® Haus featuring Kehlani, Eric Nam, Joyce Wrice, and Duckwrth, and a conversation covering everything from personal style to the history of the 501® on Clubhouse’s Culture Club featuring our 501® Originals with a very special guest host.

Ole Henriksen Skincare Available at Sephora PH

 

I personally haven’t tried any Ole Henriksen skincare products.  I haven’t heard about the brand until I saw them launch at my favorite online Beauty Site - Sephora Philippines.

Ole Henrikson is a 70-year old Danish Skin Cosmetician and manufactured various skincare products to address skin concerns in a “clean” way. He moved to United States to open his first SPA.

I got the chance to try one of the many lines he created —- C-Rush Brightening Gel Cream, C-Rush Bright Eye Cream and Dark Spot Toner.

For a first few tries, I can tell how much I am loving the Dark Spot Toner as it works perfectly for our weather.  It gives hydration at the same time matte finish after application.  The C-Rush Brightening Bright Eye Cream is citrusy-smelling and applies smoothly ad like a dream on my undereye area.  I find the C-rush Gel Cream to be on the creamy side rather than Gel.  I felt a thickness so I apply this on nighttime instead of daytime as it remains sticky on my face for the whole day!  

I can’t talk more about these as I am still on the testing stage.  If you have tried this brand or other variant from the same brand, do comment down below for our readers’ information.  At the same time, I’ll update you guys after constant use.

BUTTER OOTD

 

BTS’ Comeback with an all English song is happening this week!  May 21st to be exact!  Some may say: “I don’t care!”  It’s okay, we all have our favorite songs and artists and I am really loving BTS not only for their music but their story.

I may be an Ahjumma to them but my heart is a Noona.  I may not collect BTS merchandise as other ARMY but I am willing to collect useful things like SHIRTS! :)  

Thanks to my good friend Ashley for putting a smile on my face amidst the challenging weeks.  Because I love the shirt so much, I actually ordered and reordered from her to make my Army friends happy too!  You may shop HERE.

As for any T-shirt, you can pair it with pants, shorts, skirt or wear it as is (as I got Large and it is big!) with cycling shorts underneath.

I also shared how I spend most of my mornings!  It always starts with wearing clothes that makes e comfortable and happy, put on a bit of lipstick or tinted lipbalm and prepare our family’s breakfast with a good cup of coffee.

Benefit Porefessional Setting Spray Review

 

When I got the new POREFESSIONAL Super Setter from Benefit, I tested it out immediately.

Why?  With temperature ranging around 37-39 degrees Celsius, and humidity level I DON’T EFFING know anymore!  I knew this was the perfect launch period so kudos to Benefit Philippines for that.

Back to staying calm amidst the heat, here are some good news I want to share about The Porefessional Super Setter.  

Before I share more info about that, let me share just how much of an expert Benefit is when it comes to Oil Control and Pore minimizing!  Check out my previous reviews on the following —-

Benefit Porefessional Minimizing Makeup Review

Benefit Porefessional Matte Rescue Review

Benefit Porefessional Balm Review

If you check out the date, The Balm goes way back to more than 10 years ago!  Out of those 10 years, I have lugged tube after tubes of Porfessional Balm for all my clients!  8 out of 10 were sold about it and ended up going to the store to purchase their own tube after seeing how effective it was in creating a smoother, lesser pores canvas.

According to Benefit (website)

This multitasking, microfine mist locks on makeup for 16 hours*, instantly blurs pores and leaves skin feeling smooth, refreshed & hydrated. The water-based formula includes pore-blurring powders that softly scatter light** and visibly reduce shine for a natural-looking, soft-focus finish. The mess-free applicator mists on a smooth, even, featherlight cloud...no drops, spots or stickiness! 

Alcohol-free, waterproof and smudge-proof, fade-proof, gives instant mattifying effect and so much more!

I did have high hopes and true enough, after a week of constant testing, I was impressed!  And another great time to launch this during pandemic because of mask-wearing!  Happy to announce that my makeup did not only stay longer, it does not transfer on masks!
