SCHOOL DIARIES: Monday

[Top: COTTON ON, Vest and Pants: SOUL LIFESTYLE, Shoes: CMG PHILIPPINES, Long Necklace: STYLE HEAVEN, Nails and Eyelash Extension: NAIL IT!]  

I usually spend Mondays with Dondi since it's one of his rest days from work. Ever since he started working, I've been seeing less of him because of how hectic both our schedules can get so starting the week with him is a great thing for us :) This Monday was extra special though compared to all the other 3 Mondays of the month since it was our 37th monthsary! We don't really celebrate it in a big way since we've had too much of these already (thats 37 times guys! haha) so we just make sure to eat all meals together :) 

I wanted to wear something comfortable and thank God I found this sweater at Cotton On Megamall (their newest branch!) and I need more of them! 

Hope you had a great Monday just like how I spent mine :)

Back Me Up

Here's what I wore to the Magniflex event I attended a few days ago. I had no idea that we were required to wear sleep wear so I kind of looked silly looking so dressy in this outfit! Haha thank God though that this dress was comfortable enough to wear to bed. Not only is the dress comfortable but it sets itself apart from the rest because of its printed back :) [Dress: Runway Dreams, Shoes: Call It Spring, Necklace: Gold Couture]
 I'm currently in school now taking two classes then my Monday's free! First time in a very long time! :P I'm also spending my 37th month with Dondi today!! :) What's new with you? :)

Smart Freedom TVC

Click this for bigger and better viewing: Smart Postpaid Freedom Plan TVC 

Here is the newest TVC of Smart Postpaid Freedom Plan featuring Anne Curtis-Smith, Boys Night Out & Ramon Bautista!  It talks about the Smart Postpaid freedom plan I'm currently using and I've already blogged about it before but I wanna talk about it more! I've been using it for two months now and it's been very useful for me since it sticks to my budget plus the 3Gs fast :) I personally recommend it for students and new graduates who are working for the first time because it does not go beyond your budget plus you only need an id to apply for one :) 

So if you're having problems with your signal, if you cant receive messages or your calls get cut in the middle of you talking? The BNO's right... it is your network so you know what to do! It's time to change! :)

Nail It! Eyelash Extensions Review

I've tried eyelash extensions before so I can actually compare how the service I had with Nail It! recently with the two previous ones I had before it :) I'm not one of those girls who are blessed with a pair of doll-like eyelashes so extensions are a big blessing to me. I've tried the natural twice and it's the first time I got something as long as this. I'm still trying to get used to it but I loooove the turn out in pictures and the time it saves me from putting eye make up since it makes it look like I have eyeliner already because of it's thickness. Anyway, I'll compare the Nail It! service with my previous ones according to glue, service and price :) 

Glue: 

Previous Store: I honestly didn't like the glue of this store because it made it tear up and had this burning feeling on my eyes everytime I would try to move my eyeballs during the application time. However, it only lasted during the session and went away after the glue dried up. 

Nail It!: I love how the glue was pain-free during the application session. The girl who applied it explained to me that they're using the no tears glue and it only took a few minutes to dry up! 

Service: 

Previous Store: I got it done late last year I think and I remember being the service being okay. The girl who applied it would ask me if I was comfortable enough but she kept telling me to take a nap since the glue would hurt and I would feel it more if I was awake. lol 

Nail It!: I felt reallllly comfortable the whole time during application session. The girl kept asking if I was okay and if I felt fine. She kept telling me too how minutes more to keep me from getting bored. And she applied more lashes when I asked her to do so without any extra charge. 

Price: 

Previous Store: I paid 800 for the natural and I remember that the mascara (same length as I got now) is 1000

Nail It!: Nautral lashes for 650 pesos and full thick lashes for 850 with a free manicure or pedicure service 

Hope my review helped! :)

P.S. I visited the Nail It! Alphaland branch near Magallanes station :)

Not Your Ordinary White Shirt

[Top: I lost the tag of this top, can you please comment below so I can credit properly? :(, Shorts:  THREAD MANILA, Shoes: TRUNKSHOW, Necklace: SM ACCESSORIES, Blazer: HOUSE OF EVA] 

I always want to  keep my outfit posts as fresh and different as I can make them to be and  since I barely post anything casual here showing how I dress on a Sunday or Friday errands afternoon, here's a post showing you. A friend and fellow blogger of mine, Raleene said that I barely dress casually here on my blog and that I always look polished and proper. I'm sure it's meant in a good way and I see that way, I love looking those two. It's how I want to look when whether I'm 19, 29, 40 or 50.. I guess I just won't be wearing shorts and loud colors anymore when I'm that age! haha 

Anyway, I love how soft the material of this white skirt is as well as the not your typical detail on the sleeve. It's something that can be worn both casually and dressed up :) Shall I post more of these? :) Or stick to my usual posts? :) 

Happy happy Sunday everyone! :)
