Summer is officially here and it’s time to show off some skin!  In a tropical island like the Philippines, summer could get extended because we have great weather all year round (except for a few typhoon coming our way).

We cannot strut the streets fully covered because the heat would get you very uncomfortable. That’s why, we need to take care of our skin, because after all, it has always been a part of our daily wardrobe.

Get a chance to win big summer prizes! Join the Vaseline Summer Skin + Style Lookbook Promo today! Just Like the Vaseline page. Shoot a 3-photo collage with a Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 bottle. Caption it with “Beautiful skin + style this summer with @VaselinePH lotion”. Tag #VaselineSummer. And upload to Instagram or send it to vaselinesummer@gmail.com! Easy, yes? Start shooting!

During summer, I go to the beach a lot!  I love to get a subtle tan, the one that would emphasize my muscle cuts *wink*  But the thing is, we need to protect our skin under the sun too!  I always apply sunblock whenever I hit the beach or the pool.  What we often forget to do though is to apply some skin protection on a daily basis.

As a frequent traveler, I cannot explore the city or a new place without walking around under the sun.  Applying sunblock with high SPF – is just too thick and leaves white residue.  Also, it gets really sticky and that’s no good when you’re traveling in a very humid and hot country such as Cambodia.

The reason for this blog post is because I want to share with you just the perfect lotion and skin protection this summer!

I have been an advocate of this product since it was launched a few years back.  Yes, Vaseline Healthy White triple lighting lotion 🙂

I reviewed this product before.  Click here to read my detailed review. Â But if you’re lazy to do so, let me just give you a recap.

• Love the fresh scent!
• Gives you triple benefits: Sun protection against UVA (PA++) & UVB (SPF 24), and it also has B3 that helps in skin lightening!
• Lotion blends well with the skin, (unlike sunblocks or any lotion with higher spf that gives “whitish” or thick residue
• Light texture which is perfect for our hot and humid weather.  If it gets too sticky, it will be very uncomfortable

Overall, I would say Vaseline Healthy White lotion is your skin’s best friend this summer, and all year round!  You get to keep your gorgeous skin, protect it from harsh sun rays and maintain an evenly toned, and smooth skin 🙂

You can buy this at your local grocery stores 🙂

I was very very excited that I made this flair Mickey Mouse logo on my iPad.  doodle doodle… 🙂

oh, and wheninmanila.com’s logo has also transformed 😛

I’m so excited!

I heard there are new activities in the park.  Last time I went here was in the summer of 2009 and it was hot!  I’m so excited to go here on a cool time ^_^ and finally, I can still wear my boots with-a-fuuuurrr.

I am leaving tomorrow morning and will update you soonest, for now, time to pack my bags 🙂

Last December 16, 2010, Neutrogena officially launched the new Neutrogena Fine Fairness line in relation to the Start the Year Light campaign.  This campaign highlights 8 synergistic ways to give you fair and radiant skin enhancing the best in you: Protect, Shield, Lighten, Renew, Block, Calm, Prevent and Restore.  I have been using the fine fairness range for days now and I really feel that I am getting ready to face a new year – radiant and glowing!  I receive comments from people saying that lately I look “blooming.”  It is also my goal to take care not only of my skin, but my whole being.  I have been taking yoga classes ever since we had the yoga class in Tagaytay.  I have been eating healthier and trying the Detox program of Dr. Jason Peñaranda of Aesthetic Science.

I feel honored to be one of the 8 brand ambassadors for Neutrogena alongside Manila’s beauty icons: Solenn Heussaff, Patty Laurel, Isabel Roces, Georgia Schulze-del Rosario and fellow beauty bloggers: Phoebe Ann Ramos, Jane Kingsu-Cheng, and Earth Rullan. All of us are very different in many ways – we pursue different careers and we have different interests.  The one thing we all have in common is that we excel in our own different fields.  Despite whatever challenges each of us may face, we stand strong to achieve our goals and we stay confident no matter what.  This is what we are hoping to share to all of you, that our confidence is contagious.  We had a head start in  starting our year light, now it’s your turn

This year has been really awesome for me.  It went beyond what I even hoped it to be.   I guess a positive outlook helped me lot and it attracted a lot of opportunities for me.  Blocking all the negativity is the  key to keep going despite challenges.  Our day trip in Nurture Spa Tagaytay helped me realize how my attitude towards life helped me to be where I am now.

I thought that was going to be the pinnacle of my newspaper appearances, but to my surprise, Vince also mentioned me in his first article for another publication just last week.

And now, it’s official: My blog and I have been featured in one of the most popular newspapers in the Philippines! Woohoo!

I apologize if I sound overly enthusiastic—I’m just incredibly excited about this feature. It’s a significant milestone, and I wanted to share the news with all of you.

The article was published last Monday. I was out of town at the time, so I asked my mom to pick up a copy for me. When I got home, I requested that she take a photo of it and email it to me. The unfortunate part? The newspaper went missing somewhere in the office!

Luckily, I managed to get a copy the next day (Tuesday), thanks to a tip from Kacy about National Book Store’s back issues, which sells newspapers from at least one day prior.

Here’s a snapshot of my feature in the newspaper:

And here’s a closer look:

You can also read the full article on the Manila Bulletin’s official website. Internet archive link, here.

Thanks for celebrating this special moment with me!
