Gibi Shoes Fun Day in Cagayan de Oro


Happy weekend everyone? Anyone excited for the coming holidays? I bet most of you already enjoying shopping for your bonus or 13 month pay. :D

Last November 21, I and fellow CDO bloggers spent the afternoon with a quick chitchat with Ella Cruz and Jasmine Curtis before they head to GIBI Shoes Fun Day held at the Limketkai Center Rotunda.

Both Jasmine and Ella were so accomodating and friendly. They shared there favorite Gibi shoes of which Ella love the wedge sneakers while Jasmine are into flat shoes. They have also shared that before they endorse Gibi shoes they are already an avid wearer of Gibi Shoes because its reliable and of great quality that last. Jasmine most specially loves to support locally made products.





After the quick chitchat, they went to Limketkai Center where fans and Gibi shoes lovers are waiting for them. The event was filled with great performances from Gibi shoes endorsers Ella Cruz and Jasmine Curtis. Fans was able to get the chance to play with Ella and Jasmine.








After the event, fans was given a chance to meet, greet and have a fan sign with Ella and Jasmine.




On my next post, I'll share my outfit and a shop tour at Gibi Shoes Limketkai Center.

#BeautyChitchats: Myra Facial Wash


Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
For today's post will be sharing a new beauty product I just tried. 
I always appreciate and get so excited when I received gifts like this because its a chance for me to try and test new products.
Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash has Moisture Plus formula that retains and seals in skin’s natural moisture, keeping it hydrated and more supple. Contains French Spring Sea Water and Aloe Vera Extract that improves skin elasticity and helps keep it smooth and young-looking 
Myra VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash has Biowhite Complex which is derived from plant extracts that gently whitens skin. And has Niacinamide that evens out skin tone by reducing red blotches to make skin more radiant. 
What's great about the Myra Facial Wash is that the packaging is in easy to squeeze tube. And the expiration date is very visible at the back which secures you that the product is safe to use. 
I have tried using both products and here's what I can say...

Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash
Has a fresh and mild scent. 
Has a foamy consistency.
My skin feels smooth when putting it on your face. It doesnt have the sticky feeling which other facials does.
My skin feels so fresh and soft after using it. That obviously makes me love this facial wash and will surely buy this next time!  

Myra VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash
Has a mild fruity scent.
Has a foamy consistency.
This probably is recommended for oily skins because my face feels very dry after using it.
I haven't tried VitaWhite's whitening effect because I prefer to continuously use the VitaSmooth. 



Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash and VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash are available at all leading supermarkets, drugstores, and department stores nationwide.

What I Wore | Halter Maxi Dress & Antique Statement Necklace


Hi there! Its been awhile since I have shared a post here in my blog... 
Been so busy with multiple jobs. Need to work hard for holiday season and I also have lots of events Ive attended that I cannot wait to share with everyone here.
Here's an outfit I wore at one of the events I have attended. I really love this halter maxi dress because its very comfy and flattering to your body. The cloth is spandex. I specially love side-slit on the dress. 
To finish the look I wore this antique inspired multi-chain statement necklace that I received recently from Happiness Boutique. I really love the quality of the necklace. I also love the personalized packaging of Happiness Boutique. Perfect for gifts specially this holiday season. ;)

My Vampire


How is everyone doing?
Been drafting this post for couple of days already. So many distractions and "to-do-list" I have to attend that I left no time to blog and read blogs.
Thanks for the comments on my previous post. Since a lot of you just learned about me being a single mom. Today, will be sharing some photos of my son on his costumes at the Halloween events he has attended this year... McDonald's Fun Day and Centrio Mall Trick or Treat. 
Days before Halloween he was very excited for Halloween because he wants to wear vampire costume. And so vampire it is...
For McDonald's Fun Day it was more of the classic inspired style with long sleeve, gloves, slack and black shoes.
For Centrio Mall Trick or Treat we went for a modern style with jeans, sneakers and yes the cape of course.
Make use of clothes he already has and just bought the cape. As for the vampire look I just place some BB cream to make his face pale and then use my red lipstick for the blood effect on his mouth. Was not able to find any vampire teeth in stores (Its sold out!) so his not wearing any fangs. It was already late when I discovered, I can make a DIY fangs with the fake nails. Maybe next time I can use this newly discovered idea.
It's always a learning lesson balancing single parent duties, earn for a living, de-stress/chill with my friends and enjoy life as it comes.  I am so glad my kid is smart to understand my lacking and give me room for improvements.
Anyways, what do you think of my kiddo's vampire costume?






The Versatile Blogger Award


Hey everyone! Its been awhile since Ive shared something here in my blog...
I wanna thank Ira of Journal of Style  and Kay of Shoes and Glitters for the Versatile Blogger Award (TVBA) nomination. I know its has been weeks that past since I was nominated, but hey better late than never right? :D
What I like when participating in blogger nominations is that it gives you an opportunity to connect with your readers and get to know them by nominating them.
So here's seven random facts about me for you to get to know me better...

7 Random Facts About Me 

  • Im a single mom to a smart boy.
  • I work at home as an administrative assistant.
  • When shopping, I knew what I want but I always end up undecided  and takes awhile to decide which is which.
  • I love watching teen movies, fantasy, sci-fi and romantic comedies. I dont watch horror or suspense movies and TV shows.
  • I love Korean pop and enjoys watching Korean TV series. Which eventually influence me a lot to like Korean foods and culture.
  • Unlike school days where I dont like class recitations. I enjoy sharing my blogging knowledge through workshops. I really miss the workshops that our local bloggers group, CDBloggers, use to organize.  
  • This blog use to be after my online nickname, Venussmileygal, as well as my domain. I didnt have much any idea back then on some technical part of blogging. The domain was bought for me by a friend coz I dont have a Godaddy account. When its time for renewal of the domain he didnt bother renewing my domain and was bought by another who is very interested because my blog has a PageRank 3. I was so sad and almost stop blogging because of it. Good thing my blogging passion didnt die there and this blog was relaunch as Emotera Goddess. ^_^
