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!)

I'm so proud of Kate! I really enjoyed her last collection with Paperdolls (the multi-striped one!) so I was happily looking forward to her next design project with PD. And, as usual, she did not disappoint!
At Philippine Fashion Week last week, KT debuted her latest KT <3 PD line, a very mod 60s-inspired collection that's just--no, I won't say it!--groovy!
Here are my favorite pieces:
I love the shorts and jacket combo!
Will definitely get this coat!
This shift dress is so me!
That black coat is a must-have!
Love that boxy jacket!
I really really like this...but it would've been perfect
on me when I was still 95 lbs!
Love that huge rose on the chest!
I'd wear this to my renewal vows ceremony with Vince!
Wild! Again, if I were still 95 lbs, game!
I love the camel high-waist slacks!
Kate really enjoyed designing the clothes for this collection. She said, "If I had my way, I'd love to have been around during those days of Mod and Flower Power."
KT's new collection for Paperdolls is available at all SM Department Stores.
Here's another sale you can check out for Christmas: Robinsons Department Store is holding a warehouse sale from now till November 8 at Robinsons Galleria. The sale is not at the department store, however, but at the area between Timezone and Jamaican Patties at the top level.
It's up to 70% off, people! I'm most interested in getting new underwear from Triumph and Jockey, plus I'm hoping the classic Ray-Ban aviators are insanely discounted, and I want to check out the baby clothes of Osh Kosh. Merry Christmas!
Quick quick post since I've only started using this (total day count: 3 days!) but I still want to say this early that my eyes are feeling the change... and showing it!
I'll make a proper review in 2 weeks. Keep you posted!
Oh, have I been gone for eternity! Sorry, gave birth on August and have been in love since. But now I am drowning in beauty products and fashion news and will now start blogging again. Two of the most popular blog posts I wrote were about the opening of Forever 21 in Manila so it's only fitting that I'm back to blogging with a post on its fabulous sale tomorrow!
Lucky me was able to have a sneak peek at the stuff that's going to be on sale and I've got my eye on a few pieces. Here they are:
linen shorts, P409
red shorts with zipper detail, P309
black wrap top, P359
plaid shirt, P409
gray romper, P409
linen romper with belt, P409
black bandage dress, P469
red dress, P309
Of course, there's a ton more on sale! So go to sleep early tonight and rest... Tomorrow's crazy sale time! And if you're a BDO cardholder and SM Advantage cardholder (like moi), you get extra extra extra!
Hello, dear gorgeous readers! I've been meaning to get some lash extensions so that I can look extra pretty for the photos of my baby boy's debut. But with all the things I need to do to prepare for his imminent arrival, the lashes have taken a back seat.

I'm sure you've already seen the new Sunsilk Co-Creations commercials on TV. If you haven't, here it is:
The new line, pushed by Sunsilk as their "best ever!", is the proud result of Sunsilk's collaboration with seven of the world's best hair experts. Two of them, Teddy Charles from Paris and Yuko Yamashita from Tokyo, were here in Manila for the Co-Creations launch recently and I was able to meet them.
OK!'s beauty team Nicole Delos Angeles and Nichole Mercado and managing editor Lana Chan were also there and, while we found image model Sarah Geronimo's hair to be absolutely smooth and silky and the model herself gorgeous, we all found ourselves swooning over the very tall and very blond Teddy Charles.
Teddy has styled the hair of models and A-list celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker and Hayden Panettiere. Here he is, touching up lucky Sarah's looooong hair. He says, "To this day, long and abundant hair continues to be the timeless symbol of feminine beauty. Most Filipino women want longer hair, and the key is to nourish it so it remains stronger as it grows longer."
Sarah's long and abundant hair definitely suits her! Anyway, for his collaboration with Sunsilk, Teddy created Strong & Long and Straight & Sway. He's very happy with his products: "Finally, I have the opportunity, by co-creating with Sunsilk, to co-develop products that give girls across the world access to the secret of beautiful hair, day in, day out."
Just look at that smile on Sarah's face! I swear I'd be smiling that way, too, if I had someone like Teddy styling my hair. My gas, he looks like Henry Cavill!
Look at Sarah's hair! Stick-straight but with body, shiny but not oily! In the car, after the event, we girls were talking about--hypothetically, of course!--if we'd marry a hairstylist. Nic and Nikki were very much for the idea since "you'll have fabulous hair every single day!" True, true!
Vince, darling, can I interest you in some hairdressing classes?
