I'm the typical drama queen, and so this is my love story. No, my dieting story rather.

Last December, two of my closest friends got married, and I served as bridesmaids to both. Though I seemed to be quite happy with how I looked, my pictures shows I've become less of a hot chic because of those flabs in my arms! Just less. I know I'm still gorgeous. But I really hate to see those flabs, especially in pictures!

I recently discovered a fashion community site Polyvore, where you could shop and also, style different looks. And for my first attempt, this is what I came up with. I imagine the current hot climate here in Manila, which is very summery, so I titled it, One Hot Summer. Maybe this is what I'm going to wear on a day trip to Baguio or Tagaytay.

When drank as a regular tea, green tea definitely is ahead of the game among other kinds of tea, simply because it's proven to have, if not the highest, one of the highest antioxidant properties.  It also is high in flavonoids, meaning it has anticarcinogenic functions. Green tea can also aid in weight loss due to polyphenols and caffeine. Thus, it's good for the health, and good for the skin, too. No wonder you can now find it in different beauty products.

It was just recently that we've heard in the news here in PI, about the beauty pill that contains powderized organ or part of the fetus called human placenta (inunan in tagalog), said that was manufactured in China and sold in Korea. The day after I heard this, I was almost shocked to see the Korean cosmetic brand, Lioele, just opened at St. Francis Square (first-ever branch of Lioele in Manila, actually), selling a face cream and a beauty pill made from human placenta. I pulled up the flyer, with eyes wide open in disbelief, it says, "Nothing can replace human placenta."

Zalora PH will hold its grand launching tomorrow, May 9, and I also received an invitation to the event. I am kind of excited of course, though I'm not sure yet whether I will go or not, since as posted in their FB page is it's going to be at 11pm, whereas in the email I received it was stated as 8pm.

Anyway, try to check out their shopping site, they have The Great Zalora Sale of up to 70% off, runs from May 4 - 18, 2012. Some of the brands now available at Zalora are: Wacoal, Peppermint, Ray-Ban, Carpet World, Visions, Nike, Plains & Prints.
