Anna Wintour on how to be glamorous


Very interesting! I always wondered how to be glamorous. I've always been too loud, too squeaky-voiced, too happy, too excited. It's that easy lang pala!

Be radiant this Christmas with OK! magazine and Pond's

Hi everybody! As you know, my work with OK! Philippines has one very lovely perk: I get beauty products all the time! So, since Christmas is just around the corner, I decided that I'll surprise one of you this merry season with Pond's Gold Radiance Collection.

This latest skin care set from Pond's infused real gold particles in its creams and serums to impart these benefits:
  • skin tone that is clear and even;
  • skin texture that is elastic, soft, and smooth;
  • skin color that is fair and translucent; and
  • skin hydration having a dew glow as a result of optimum moisture levels
I will give the complete collection and a special edition Aranaz golden clutch bag! Just follow these steps:

1. Go to OK! Philippine's Facebook page.

2. Type this on the wall:

"I want to be radiant this Christmas with my favorite celebrity magazine, OK! Philippines, and Pond's Gold Radiance Collection!"

2. Tag three of your friends.

3. Wait till November 19 (that's next Friday!) and I'll announce who gets my gift!

That's it!No purchase necessary. No difficult questions to answer. No events to attend. No need to re-blog (although I'll be very happy if you do!). All you have to do is like my magazine's Facebook page!

Loving Gucci's Fall Winter Collection... for MEN!

Gucci showcased their Fall Winter 2010-2011 and, though the Women's Collection was impeccable as always, I find myself salivating over the bags in the Men's Collection!
 
 
 
 

 
They're luggage, hence the hefty size. But you know us women--we like to carry our entire houses with us everywhere we go. So I'm definitely liking the men's bags!

Zoya's zooo amazing!

Hey preggy women, breastfeeding mommies and anyone who's vegan! You can still have pretty nails, thanks to Zoya.

I first encountered Zoya when my friend, beauty columnist and blogger Mariel Chua, and I visited Organic Rituals Spa. We were curious because I was still preggy then and Mariel is into organic/natural stuff.

We met the gorgeous owners Nikki Angco and Kat Aramento who both showed us the wonderful products they have in the spa.
Mariel interviews Nikki about Zoya 
It's so pretty here! Very relaxing, too.
While I love my mani-pedi experience at Organic Rituals, I'll do a review of the spa later. Today I'll just talk about Zoya. Well, I'll just reprint the text I saw on their Facebook page (like! like! like!)

Zoya Nail Polish has 300+ colors to choose from. There is a color for every mom. And Zoya makes it easy with the Nail Polish Color Finder.

In case you didn't know, Zoya Nail Polish was designed with pregnant women in mind. It is formaldehyde, toluene, DBP and camphor free. It's a safe nail polish choice and it is free of harmful toxins. 

Use the Zoya Color Lock System to keep your nail polish color lasting longer. It's the perfect gift for a salon perfect manicure at home.

Call 6613101 or Text 0915-4887838 for orders.

P.S. Organic Rituals also has SPA Rituals lacquer. As you can see at the back, this polish is vegan. Even its bottle is made from recycled glass!


Organic Rituals Spa is at the mezzanine level of Atlanta Bldg, Annapolis St. Greenhills, San Juan.
