Havaianas Mood Bracelet

Here are some quick questions for you, my dear reader:

1.  Are you a permanent resident of the Philippines?
2.  Are you of legal age (at least 18 years old)?
3.  Are you fit to travel?
4.  Do you have a valid passport?
5.  Do you have a creative answer to this question: “If anything was possible, what would you do to make the world happy for a day?”

If you answered Yes to ALL of the questions above, then you are only steps away from winning the Havaianas Happy Soles Will Travel To Brazil video contest. And the prize? An all-expense paid vacation for 4 to the land of endless summer, Brazil.

The winner of the Happy Soles Will Travel to Brazil contest, together with 3 friends, will experience an unforgettable, 12-day vacation in Brazil. The trip will include a shopping spree at the Havaianas Concept Store, dinners at world-class restaurants, visits to Daslu and some of the fanciest boutiques of Brazil.  The group will also experience everything from football at Morumbi and Maracana to the breath-taking tropical landscape of Jardim Botanico to the laid-back beaches like Copacabana.  And remember, this is an all-expense paid trip.

Excited now? I’m not quite through yet with the goodies.

The happy soles will also get products from Havaianas (of course!), Sony (I read somewhere that a VAIO laptop, a Sony handycam, and a Sony MP3 player will be given away), David & Goliath tees (their shirts are way too cute), and Aloha board shorts.

Sounds good, eh?  Nah.  It is AWESOME!

So how do you join? There’s 3 ways to submit your entries.

1.  Through roving video booths. These will be set up in key malls around the Philippines.  Since this is a creative video contest, props may be brought inside the roving booth.

For Davao City, the Havaianas roving booth will be in Gaisano Mall-Davao from April 5-11, 2010.

2.  Via the internet. Visit http://havaianasphilippines.com/happysoles.  This is where you’ll fill up the online form and upload the video or record it via webcam.

3.  By email. Email your entries to happysoles@havaianasphilippines.com and attach a properly filled-out downloadable entry form.

Submission of entries will be from January 26, 2010 until May 2, 2010 only.

What are you all waiting for? Squeeze those creative juices now and start conceptualizing your video.  Anyway, you can submit as many videos as you want. The more entries, the more chances of winning.

For questions and more information, please email happysoles@havaianasphilippines.com.  You may also call 840 1788 local 177.

Esteja feliz!

Me at the Happy Soles Campaign Launch

Me, Dulce, Tish and Marga of Martish, and Ria

The entire machineless treatment lasted less than 15 minutes. The therapist said my skin was soft (ahem), and that the only thing I needed was something to even out my skin tone.

Skin Doctors has a wide range of products that’s results focused and problem specific.  There’s one product that instantly caught attention though: Perfect Pout.

In seconds, I’ll get a luscious pout flushed with a natural, rosy color even without a lipstick.

Another product that I got interested with after reading the brochures was the Powerbrasion System. The set includes a micro-orbiting unit, microdermabrasion crystals and a 24-hour deep exfoliating hydroxyl skin resurfacer. Visible results are to be seen in as little as 10 days.

Pouty lips and glowing skin, I want, so I’ve added these two products to my Christmas wishlist.

In Davao, Skin Doctors is exclusively sold at Chimes Specialty Store.  For more information, you may email them at skindoctors@cytherea.com.ph

Maybelline's Mineral Powder Foundation

This mineral powder from Maybelline is one of my kikay essentials. This one goes best with Maybelline’s luminous blush.

This one I only used once. I didn’t like the hepa look it gave me, so I decided to it for this shoot.

My favorite watch. I love it so much that I wear it even if I’m wearing dress and heels.

Hmmm… Maybe I should try the DIY table-top studio next time…

In a few days’ time, I won’t be a mentor/lecturer anymore. That means I am not anymore required to wear slacks, skirts, and dresses.

Denims and baby tees, here I come!

Goodbye, stilettos!

Goodbye red, pointed shoes!

Hello, DMs!

*No more calloused soles and toes from walking miles in those “fashionista” shoes.

*The possibility of getting hallux valgus is close to null.

*I can hop off the jeepney without worrying of twisting my ankle (again).

*The boots make a good weapon. Shin-kicker this is!

*The floral and butterfly prints on the boots makes it look tough but chic.

*Goes well with plain, white baby tees and jeans.

Oh, joy!
