Never Stop Dreaming

Great things come to those who wait and persevere. Best things come when you have faith in Him. ♥

Life was never easy. From my princess-like lifestyle from birth to high school, to the global recession around 2008 which greatly affected my Dad’s industry and business - scrapped almost all that we have, to entering college filled with questions and fear, and eventually graduating in my degree as Cum Laude because I strove hard and held on to my promise for my parents. It’s been a crazy journey and I’m just 22. But all those challenges made me and my faith in God stronger. Parang kaya ko na lahat pagkatapos nun.

Cliche, but I firmly believe that God puts us in situations on purpose. Why our grandiose lifestyle shattered, why we had to experience pain that no one may even understand, why I’m blogging, why I entered a full-time job, why I thankfully ended up with Get Hooked 360. All these taught me lessons that I’ll carry with me forever. All these are God’s great blessings.

Never stop dreaming.

Faced another beautiful milestone just last weekend! With God’s glory and grace, plus the intense support system from the people around me (my parents, my friends, my bosses)… I finally bought myself a new car, straight from my hard-earned money ♥♥♥ Everything’s worth it!

One huge leap for my 22-year-old self! I know I’ve a lot of young readers, and I hope this would inspire you to keep going. Save up and start young. Don’t get disheartened by difficult times, they’re part of life. Work hard, reward yourself. Stay grounded. Never forget your parents, share your success with them. Offer everything to the Lord. :) Nothing’s impossible as long as you embrace all those!

In These Pants

Nothing beats a sexy pair of jeans! That perfect fit hugging your thighs, length that you desire, slightly distressed denims - my kind of hot! If you’re searching for such kind of jeans, why don’t you come and visit Memo? My current favorite’s from there! ;)

Memo recently released the most coveted #InThesePants collection. I’ve 3 pairs under this new group - 2 skinnies and 1 slim! Sharing with you the first skinny denims I wore to work a few days back.

You can be both sexy and laidback in these pants! For some reason, I felt extra confident that day with this ensemble. So make sure to chase and keep your best-fitting pants. You’ll need it especially on days when you feel like trash but you want to look good. Heels + pants will save you!

Might abuse this top, too! Memo’s got so many versatile items, you can match the pieces with other garbs and you’d still look great. I can imagine wearing this top with white shorts and sneakers and I’m already weekend-ready!

How To Get Instantly Smooth Hair

I’m pretty sure most of us have experienced the worst hair days ever! For some reason, despite your usual routine, there will be moments that you’re challenged with unmanageable tresses. No amount of twisting, tying, clipping back or wearing hats can mask the utter frustration of dealing with hair that just won’t fall in place.

The number 1 conditioner brand, Cream Silk, definitely knows our frustrations so the brand came up with the perfect hair solution for the modern woman on the go! WE. NEED. THIS.

Introducing Cream Silk’s Standout Straight Leave-On Cream, a hair polish and a leave-on conditioner in one. You’ll get instantly smooth and shiny hair, #AnytimeAnywhere that only Cream Silk can provide. ;)

Just to share with you, I tried using leave-on hair products way back in high school simply because I wanted to have the nicest crowning glory. But after several days of application, I noticed how oily/greasy my hair became so I stopped.

After years of swearing not to use such, I gave this Cream Silk Standout Straight Leave-On Cream a chance. After all, it’s from the same umbrella of my all-time favorite conditioner, and I know I can trust the brand. For over a week now, my hair’s been gorgeously softer and shinier!

I love that this new Cream Silk innovation has a light and non-greasy formula, infused with Hair Reborn Actives, which can smoothen and nourish frizzy hair. It can be applied to damp or dry hair, so you can use it in any beauty emergencies!

With a pea-sized amount of product, you can spread it across your hands, and work the cream evenly into your hair from root to tips. No doubt, your hair will become noticeably more beautiful in just one application!

This product comes in a conveniently sized 40ml applicator that anyone can easily carry in their bag to suit their busy lifestyle.

Cream Silk’s Leave-On Cream is available in all major retailers for only Php49.00.
