Then again, at the end of the day.. movies are just movies. We are to appreciate them and learn from it. It’s too bad to over-fantasize to random kinds of movie anyway, right? Speaking of appreciation.. there are tons of t-shirts being released lately. Eclipse T-shirts are also available.

Cafepress, features Eclipse the movie, having a wide collection of show off of Cafepress Eclipse tee shirts that you can actually purchase online. You can also have them make a custom t-shirts depending on your requirement and liking. Pretty cool, don’t you think?

Well, the best part of this Eclipse addiction over t-shirts is the fact that it’s on SALE with big discounts! Check them out, okay?

Have you guys read Twilight Saga book? I’ve only read the first book. I must say that I wasn’t that impress with the movie just like any of us who have really appreciated reading the book, but.. Well, I guess we should all just be thankful that we get to see the animation of our imagination – even for just a little while, wouldn’t you agree with that? Anyway, I’m done with this era.. or so I say, I must be just getting older, haha!

We all have different skin features. It doesn’t mean that if it worked on me, it will work on you too. Every product gives our skin different reactions, and you just have to figure out what will work on you best. Remember, You also have to take your own precautions by reading the product ingredients and its client or product reviews before making any purchasing first..

Have fun and do share me your own beauty tips when it comes to skin care as well – if you have the time. =]

Just a week more and it’s August of 2010. Has anyone done some productivity through out these months? I’m sure that everyone has been busy due to their work and school.

I’ve been thinking a lot and I realized that.. beauty is just not all about what you see in front of the mirror. It’s also with how you deal and take care of things. Just for example, what you eat reflects of who you are. The measure and state of your body and skin relates to how you really deal with your own self. Do you abuse your own body or do you take care of them and feed them in the right matter. All of these things go hand in hand.

AUGUST 2010 SHOPPING LIST:
1. New bed sheets
2. Bath towels
3. A wide-tooth hair combs
4. New set of Kate Jones beauty regimen products

Well, for now.. these are all that I really plan to purchase. It’s good that we take care of our skin with our daily routines but not being able to change your sheets for more than a month can just lead you to break-outs every time. Same as with the towels, bacteria can really stick around.. y’know. Anyway, I have come to realized that the best way to show love is when you start loving yourself just more.

Oh, and yes.. don’t forget to not spend too much and learn how to save your own money via Savings.com, get Dell promo codes or HP coupons if you must. It’s better than just paying everything in a snap, right? Take advantage on discount and sales on the nearest mall in your location!

Almost everyone was able to use Ponds as their first facial cleanser – ever. Even I would admit that it was the first product that was able to touch and cleanse my skin way back. As we all have grown, so does Ponds, that they were able to produce a number of skin care products that has different specialty of use in it.

Shall we see each of their difference?

THE PONDS BEAUTY “FAQ” 101:

1. Have you heard of Ponds Basic Care skin product?

Yes, this is actually their Heritage Product. In short, their first product released. They have the perfect care facial wash and cold cream. Personally, my favorite among all Ponds products. It gives basic cleaning, very mild and suited for those who have sensitive skin.

2. Ponds cold cream was said to be many of celebrities secret with their beautiful skin, is this true?

I’m not particularly sure about their beauty secret, but the product is a deep cleanser. It can remove even the most stubborn mascara. It gives your skin a blooming and radiant look as well. This is my current favorite as I have dry skin – yes, suitable for dry skin. I would highly recommend this product if you ask me.

3. Can Ponds really whiten our skin or is it just by the means of advertising?

I stopped using my usual products for a while and gave their products a shot. From those days of testing it out, I can see that it does give a whitening effect. As long as you are consistent using their products, ofcourse. I believe that Ponds secret relies with VAO-B3, an ingredient in their products that get rids of dark spots, blemishes, whitens the skin and can also inhibits the growth of melanin in our skin.

4. What is the difference between Ponds White Beauty and Ponds Flawless White?

Flawless White lightens your skin, getting rid of dark spots and blemishes in just 7 days. White Beauty on the other hand focuses on naturally lightening your skin giving you a pinkish effect. In case you want to know, White Beauty Detox focuses in getting rid of pimple marks.

5. What is more to know about Ponds Oil Control?

Well, it fights pimples, lifts away dirt, controls the oil of your skin and it’s very suitable for those who have oily skin. It has Anti-Oil Bio 5, which aids controlling the production of excess sebum that leads us to skin impurities.

6. How effective can the Ponds Age Miracle can really be?

Well, it has Retinol, which by the way is one of the best anti-aging ingredient there is. It should be able to fight the signs of aging within 7 days.

Oh, and have you all heard?

Ponds has partnered with Plaints & Prints for an outstanding beauty & fashion combination!

During dates and weekend parties, we would not just use few minutes of our time dressing up. If you really think about it.. When we do prepare to an important event, we normally do our make-up, find the nicest dress to wear and see if everything is perfect before we go out of our room – taking about an hour or even more than an hour to fix and prep up.

But then, sometimes.. not all women realizes that there is one thing really important that we shouldn’t missed out..

Putting on some colognes and perfumes are one of the most important aspects before we really head out to our dates and events because these simple fragrances leaves an impression to you as a person. Not only by knowing that you smell good, look good and have a good hygiene.. but it adds on with what kind of personality we have, what we really are.. and most importantly, it makes men crave for that one smell you leave just by walking by their area.

Do remember, too much of these fragrances aren’t much of a good shot as well. Putting something light and natural will fit everything well. Personally, my favorites are christian dior fragrances and calvin klein fragrances. It’s a must have in my fragrance collections, how about you?

There are some who kept their hair long, but had it remained stylish, and there are those who’ve chose to cut their hair shorter this time, I’m guessing that contributes to the Summer Season as well.

Plus, playing with different hairstyle is also fun once in a while, don’t you agree?

As for those who were intrigued, I had my hair color done in Indigo Salon and bought a long lush of curls as my hair extension in Tokyo Posh along Tiendesitas area in SM Center, Pasig City.

Here’s what Hollywood celebrities current hairstyles look like right now:

Whether we are looking for something for our prom hairstyles, or looking for the newest short hairstyles, we normally look out for how the popular celebrities – whom we normally idolize carry the way they look and how they take care and style their new do.

Then again, just a quick tip for everyone..

How these celebrities look like are just our stepping stones or ideas to what we want, in the end.. we all have to face the fact that we are different from celebrities. We don’t have personal stylists or assistants to make our hair so much fabulous, what’s always important is to how we we will look like, how we will be able to maintain and manage our hairs comfortably and not too much hassle for our daily lives.

PS. How is everyone enjoying their Summer Vacation? Thinking of a new hairstyle, or wanting to go shopping for a new wardrobe? Share your thoughts and experience while we are still in the mid of the Summer Vacation. We still have a month, before it entirely ends, do we? Have fun everyone, I would love to hear from each of you – your stories! I just want to know how my readers are enjoying their vacation. Hopefully, I hope you are all having a lot of fun more than I do..

Unfortunately, not everything is about fun and experience. You have to think out of the box and know that it’s always a must that every woman in this world should know how to take care of herself. You can’t be always vulnerable.

Sure, you can’t be a super woman but at the very least, you have to be knowledgeable when danger arises and know when it’s already on its peak!

Just an old saying goes, “If you don’t take care of yourself, then who will?”

Drinking alcoholic drinks is something normal nowadays. It’s not taboo to drink beer or liquor, but you should know your own limits, not to the point that.. you want to drink because it’s cool to get wasted and get drunk.

Since when? Just a wake-up call for everyone. Getting drunk and wasted ruined a lot of Hollywood Celebrities. It’s not cool at all.

Lesson here?
Know your limits, and please don’t drink alcoholic drinks like you are drinking water! Plus, it would be good to drink ice tea in between those alcoholic drinks to tame yourself down and still be aware of everything around you. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, right?

Always go out with your friends, never go out bar hopping alone. It’s always good to be with our trusted friends to keep our company safe – and not let any stranger take advantage of you.

Lately, there are Hidden Camera being sold through the black market and online shops, be careful that you might get caught with this scheme. Who knows?
