Quarantine Must Haves

We have been in quarantine for more than half a year already. This new normal is making us all anxious and paranoid at the same time. So I've come up with some of my personal must haves to protect myself from the deadly virus. After all, the moment we learn to take care of ourselves is when we also get to take care of our lovedones.

First on my list is a handy purse to keep all my essentials. Whenever I have quick errands, I make it a point to pack with me Isopropyl Alcohol, face mask, Vitamin C and my little confidence boosters. My current favorite is this pink clutch from Bayong Manila. It is so sturdy and chic.

Second must-have is a Waterproof bag that can double as a grocery bag when the need arises. No one has control of the weather so make sure to keep a foldable bag with you to protect your luxury or well-loved bag in good condition. If you're planning to get a couple of canned goods and hygiene essentials, this bag is a lifesaver. I'm using an Autumn prints design from OhMyBagPhils 

                        

Next on my list are Essential Oils to keep me sane. Covid is also a silent killer that can affect our mental health. These days I have a hard time sleeping as my mind is occupied with so many things that I had to rely on scents to calm my senses. I find the Lavender Essential Oil from FragranceBoxPh effective in destressing me at the comfort of my own home. 

    

Dust Bags are necessary to protect your well-loved bags and purses from dirt and moisture. It can also be used as extra storage and protection when you travel as it comes with an identification slot. You can label it as you wish, from the type of bag you're using to personalizing it with your name. You can even insert a small trinket like so to remind people that it's your property. I'm using Nylon Dust bags from OhMyBagPhils . It comes in 2 colors: Black and White. My personal choice is Black.

Lastly, despite this pandemic, remember to still dress well and look presentable in your virtual meetings. It will help boost your confidence and keep you sane. Here's an affordable fashion online store ,  check it out via women dresses

Hope you enjoyed this quick post. I do hope that you and your family are in good health. Let us all pray for our frontliners that they have enough strength to face their everyday battles. Let us pray for the World that we find the vaccine we need to combat this virus together.

Online Fashion

This pandemic has changed our ways and has shifted our lifestyle to everything digital. Our shopping experience will never be the same again, yet we can still find ways to still look our best and one way is Online Shopping.

As someone who loves fashion, I'm sharing with you some looks that will never go out of style. 

HOT DRESSES

For your grocery errands, I recommend going for dresses in Vertical Stripes as it can accentuate and elongate your torso. Pair it with shorts or pants and you're good to go. You can sport a more daring look by wearing this Mini Dress like so.

Another style to be considered are Maxi dresses. It's flowy and very comfortable to wear. You can shop it at women stripe dress

For fancier occasions, I suggest wearing dainty colors and prints for a fresh and feminine vibe. This Pleated Dress will highlight your assets with its bodycon style. 

More choices of dresses can be found in Sexy Dresses Online

TRENDY SHAPEWEAR

It's important to stay fit and healthy especially during these uncertain times. While exercising, wear a shapewear to boost performance and enhance the toning of your target areas. The Latex Waist Trainer has an adjustable belt making your workout extra fun and effective.

If you intend to lift your butt and make your thighs slimmer, then this Body Sculpting Shapewear should do the trick. It is a helpful inner wear to instantly shape your body and create an hourglass figure.

You can follow this link to find the best shapewear for you.

ATTRACTIVE SLEEPWEAR

A good set of undergarments will make any woman feel good and look sexy. Silk fabric like so is comfortable to wear and perfect to sleep in. I'd recommend it as a great nightwear.

For an extra tease, a lingerie like so can be your best bet. This Sheer Mesh ensemble is undeniably a hot mess.

On Lockdown

Now that NCR is on official community lockdown due to Covid-19 , let's all take care and fervently pray for our frontliners particularly our dear doctors and nurses. Let's also include grocery personnel, cashiers, bank tellers, food deliveries in our thoughts and prayers as they assist all of us in this trying times.

The fact that I'm home being able to write this, and you being able to read this means that we are more or less blessed with good health. Let's keep it that way by following the directives of the government to stay home. If you need to go out, just make sure it is only to buy basic necessities such as food and medicine. If there's one thing this pandemic has reminded me to do, it's to count our blessings and appreciate the people around us. Hence, I'm writing this post to remember.

February 16, 2020. Ben and I watched my favorite artist Boyce Avenue. He bought tickets very early to surprise me. I'm happy to have someone like him who actually remembers the things I cherish. That day actually marks the anniversary when we first met.

Back then Covid-19 was still contained so the concert pushed thru; we had to wear masks and sanitize as much as we can to protect ourselves. Who would have thought that this was actually the last social event we would attend. I really do hope our scientists and doctors find an immediate vaccine for this. It's affecting hundreds of thousands of families all over the world and killing our economies. For now, social-distancing and home quarantine first. It's for the best.

I Belong to the Zoo and December Avenue entertained us before the concert proper of B.A. Such amazing local artists we have. Their songs are full of hugots , but very realistic in this day and age.

Hello Alejandro of Boyce Avenue. This night is truly unforgettable. 

Here's a snippet of Boyce Avenue + I Belong To The Zoo covering 

"Say You Wont Let Go"

Thank you my love for making me feel so special. I love you so much :)

Love,

This Global Pandemic is serious and everyone must cooperate. As much as possible, if you can refrain from going out of the house, please do so. While on home quarantine, spend time with your family yet still practice social-distancing just in case anyone becomes a carrier. Another option is Netflix and do some binge watching of your favorite series. You can also give back some love by either cooking for frontliners or donating medical supplies.

Worth the Wait

A year ago, I met someone who I never thought would change my life for the better. Ben proved to me that not all guys are created equal in terms of personality and character. It was actually so easy for me to fall in love with someone like him.

This blog post is a Valentines Special. Last February 14, 2020 was our first Valentines together.  As early as 8:30 am, he sent a bouquet of flowers to my house to ensure that it's one of the first things I lay my eyes on. He wanted me to receive it before going to work just so I have a beautiful day ahead of me. Sweet and thoughtful gestures like that make me appreciate him even more.

Back when I was single, I would still dress up for Valentines, which makes everyone presume that I have a date. LoL.  If I remember right, I would always wear Red during this Season of Love. Up until today, it's still my go-to color. Why this color? It's bold, confident and alluring. I chose a Cape Dress for a more sophisticated look , and simply paired it with nude heels to maintain focus on the dress.

Valentines should be seen as a celebration of love not only between couples, but moreso with thy self. It was not easy being single, but when you find the right kind of love, it is definitely worth the wait. Mine arrived when I was actually about to give up on finding love.

For dinner, Ben took me to 22 Prime, located in the 22nd floor of Discovery Suites. He reserved seats for us to get a picturesque view of the Ortigas Skyline. We were also fortunate enough to have a great pianist perform love songs that night. What made it a night to remember is that Ben sang to me, to which I joined him even though my voice was no good compared to his. I just love it when he sings. There's so much passion to it.

Being hardcore meatlovers, our main course was Prime's Tomahawk USDA Prime Angus Bone-In Rib Eye, served with signature sauces and side dishes. He wanted to let me try their Specialty. It did not disappoint, but it was too much for us to finish. 

My heart is filled with so much joy and gratitude. From the start of his courtship to this very day, Ben has been consistent in his words and actions. I thank God for sending me someone that I have fervently prayed for. Truth is, He blessed me with so much more.

It took me 30 years to find him. It was worth the wait. To all my readers, have faith in love. Love yourself and let love beget love. 

All the best,
