One of the things that girls overlooked every Valentines Day is their outfit. Most girls cry or panicked about choosing the right outfit for a special date. It is indeed a tasking thing to do especially if you are going into a date with special someone... (insert kilig feels here) Aside from the outfit, the makeup look is also very important. Soft and clean eye shadow look is always enough, but the choice of lip color is something crucial. It is because your lip color, just like your shoes has the power to instantly make or break your overall look.
Aside from your usual choice of lip color, the Valentines season is the best time to experiment with different lip color. For that reason, I have here five lip colors which you can rock this Valentines.


First on the list is of course the classic red. This lip color is the equivalent of the little black dress. That is because everybody can rock the red lip color. There is a hidden power under the red lipstick too. Ever noticed what iconic girls/women use on their lips? If you're in doubt what color should you choose, choose red!If you're feeling 22, you know what color will suit you <3


I feel like pink is girls' most favored color when it comes to everyday makeup. I think that is because many girls feel safer in pink. I couldn't blame them because pink is such a lovely color to instantly look fresh and youthful. So if you want to look fresh and young on Valentines, choose your favorite pink lipstick and load it up on your lips. Try to choose a subtler shade because the bold ones might look too overwhelming for your date hehe


Orange is one of the lip colors that is hard to pull off.  Although orange lippies looks best for women with olive skin, everyone can use it. The technique in rocking this playful shade lies in choosing the right shade that will suit your skin color. Some shade will look too light or too dark when applied, so you have to be careful. Orange is actually too energetic and too wild to handle. If you think you are as wild, go for an orange lip color this Valentines. After all, orange is for the free. Don't you just love it when your lip scream freedom? I do! and that's the very reason why orange is my everyday lip color :)

It wasn't long ago when the nude lipsticks spread on the market like fire. A lot of celebrities and even normal girls wore the color. Think about Kim Kardashian and how flawless she look. It is indeed a beautiful shade that will make your natural beauty stand out. On this list, I'm skipping the nude lippie. However, I am recommending peach. Peach is somewhat a combination of nude and orange. Some girls aren't comfortable with the two lip colors, the solution? peach. Peach is the perfect shade if you want your natural beauty to stand out and at the same time brighten up your face. It will also make you look younger and more innocent so if you want the sweet child in you to take over, choose peach.




Recently many girls got crazy about the Kylie Jenner lips. Kylie is popular in rocking a deep brown and burgundy shade. However I feel like it's too bold to rock this lovely season, so to soften down the earth shade, I recommend using a shiny/ shimmery lippie instead of the matte ones. No need to worry if you don't have the shiny ones. You can always top your matte lipstick with any lip gloss. And there you are-ready to go! The rich brown color is the most suitable choice if you want to look instantly classy.


How about you guys? What color are you rocking this season? I haven't actually pick mine yet so what do you think is the best one for me? should I go for a red? pink? orange? peach? or brown?  :) Let me know on the comment section below.

Have a wonderful Valentines Day! Enjoy and celebrate love. Wear what you want and be happy.

Hey guys! How was your weekend? I hope something good is within your reach as I always consider weekends as a great time for seeking new things and adventure. My friend and I was beyond lucky when we were able to try Craftdawgs, the new breed of hotdogs! Hotdogs are one of my favorite snacks so when we found out about Craftdawgs, my friend and I didn't hesitate to try it out.
We were so curious about how the hotdogs taste like primarily because of their names. They are so catchy and interesting. Right now they have six different kinds of dawgs and two different kinds of fries.
When we got to their space in Ayala Mall, we asked the salesladies which ones are their best sellers. They gladly gave us some names Craftdawgs and we were so excited to try them. According to their salesladies, some of their best sellers are Chili, Katsu, and BaMM. Of course we tried the three of them.
They have two stand tables on their space where customers can freely eat. Each table have three different kinds of condiments that everyone could use and put on their dawgs. They have regular mustard, chili sauce and Sigbin, which is an organic hot sauce. I must say that it is the holy grail for all of the dawgs. I have to warn you though that it is hotter than the Philippines, so prepare your drinks before you start eating your Sigbin topped dawgs. hehe Not even kidding guys, it exceeded my expectation of hot and spicy. You should really try it out!


I had Chili since I always love hot and spicy foods. From its name I was expecting that my Craftdawg would burn into my mouth and yes, it was really spicy! seriously guys, it was so hot I couldn't stop drinking water every time I take a bite haha I asked my friend if I had Kylie Jenner's lips after eating cause I felt like my lips got bigger lol 
Chili taste really good even without any sauce because it is already flavorful enough. But I must insist that you add some mustard and Sigbin to your dawg because they will surely take Chili's taste to the next level.
Chili is freaking hot and yummy! It is genius!



My bff Shie had Katsu. She's particularly curious with its name as it sounds like Tonkatsu- a Japanese dish. She did put some mustard on her dawg, but she removed the spring onions in it as she is not a fan of onions. I asked my friend how was it and she said that the first thing that she noticed is the crispiness of the hotdog. She also said that the taste of the dawg itself doesn't need any sauce to make it more flavorful. It is more than enough.
For Shie, Katsu is crispy, meaty, healthy and more than yummy!



Shiela's brother Japet had BaMM. He chose the dawg as the name sounded so cool to him. He said it got him like a bomb! Even though Japet isn't a fan of mushrooms he said he really enjoyed the overall taste of BaMM.
When I asked him how's the taste, not a word came out of his mouth. He silently chewed and finished his dawg.
Then my best friend said, speechless siya sa sarap! Lol

Considering that Craftdawgs is one of the new food stands inAyala, I was beyond happy to know that it was all worth it. It is definitely worth the try. And yes, I would love to try Craftdawgs again. Next time with the other flavors and the fries!!! If you are around the city, make sure you give Craftdawgs a try!

• matcha green tea powder
• sugar (white/brown)
• hot/cold water
• creamer

1. Mix your green tea powder and sugar in a cup. There's no exact measurement here, you may put as much or as little green tea and sugar depending on your preference. More matcha means stronger taste.
2. In a separate cup, mix hot water and creamer. Of course, you may use any creamer than you have. In my case I use a local coffee creamer. It works well just like any other creamer. 
3. Pour the hot water with creamer into your green tea mixture.
4. Stir your drink and enjoy your homemade matcha latte while it's hot.

If you want your latte cold, just add cold water and ice after dissolving the green tea powder in two tbsp. of hot water. I hope you will like this simple matcha latte recipe. Let me know about your favorite drink in the comment section below.
