First Year Blog Anniversary

April 17, 2016 28 Comments

Happy Sunday, Lovelies!

Today marks the first anniversary of my blog, which I launched on April 17, 2015. As you know, fashion blogging is a lot of work and requires a true passion to keep the creative juices flowing. To celebrate and say thank you, I’m hosting a giveaway where you can win a Louis Vuitton item, designer sunglasses, and a gold iPad Mini!

Louis Vuitton + Designer Sunglasses + Gold iPad Mini

Over the past year, I’ve learned so much by being my own model, photo editor, writer, and researcher. I’ve enjoyed collaborating with brands like E-shakti, Rocksbox, The Peachbox, Oasap, Irresistible Me, New Chic, Aibiwatch, Dreamleggings, Ankit, Shein, Jamberry Nail Wrap, Karina Dresses, Amiclubwear, Dresslink, Sudio Sweden, Halo Top Creamery, Shopditto, and Shopthemint. Thank you to these brands for allowing me to represent them.

I’ve also met many wonderful bloggers along the way and want to give a shout-out to @lenparent, @withlovestyle, @appareljunky, @straightastyle, @thestylecontour, @stellas_glam, and @skirttherules. Check them out! and also my instagram page here.

Special thanks to Mr. Craig Smith for assisting me with my transfer from WordPress to HostGator. Visit his site at [thewiseaffiliate.com](http://thewiseaffiliate.com). And a huge thank you to my supportive husband, Novel, who is also my long-suffering photographer. Without you, this blog wouldn’t be possible.

Some FAQs about me:
– I love to draw and wear dresses like these

– I enjoy walking in the park with my family when the weather permits.
– Baking cookies and cupcakes with my daughter is a favorite pastime.
– I love cleaning the house—I guess I have OCD.
– I love to sing. Sharing some old videos we recorded before having kids, and now it’s a family bonding activity as my daughter loves to sing and play guitar.

One of my wishes is for my blog to be featured in a fashion magazine here in the US.

Simply,

Romantic Ideas for Valentine’s Day

NOV_0311 — I’m wearing my ever favorite Dolce Vita Boots and they are currently on sale

DETAILS: Stripe Blouse (similar HERE) / Coat (similar HERE) Jeans Forever 21 / Boots Dolce Vita currently on sale! / Bracelet c/o thepeachbox / LV speedy bag / Rayban Sunglasses

Happy Friday Lovelies! We only have another week to prepare for Valentine’s Day. I am sharing some tips on how to celebrate it in different ways that your love one will appreciate. Most of the romantic ideas here are based on my personal experiences and I know will help you on other ways to celebrate with your love one.

all of you might be thinking why I posted outfit post on this topic. I was thinking that this is just a simple casual look and plus it has red stripe which kinda reminded me of Heart’s day. I wore this outfit when we attended our friend’s daughter’s birthday party.

1.) Go to a place that is very memorable to you. For my husband and I it was the Manila Zoo because that is were we first met. Because there, you’ll be able to reminisce and will definitely have a good time talking about things that you both enjoy together.

2.) Take them to a caricature place where the artist can draw both of you a have it framed. Or if you are like me who can draw, make a portrait of your love one and it is really a keepsake that they will always see and remember.

3.) Set up a bonfire and make a hot drink or indoor with drink some wine for both of you while listening to your favorite music. My husband and I sometimes not only on Valentine’s will have a moment like this that we will just do a sweet dance with a background music. It is just so relaxing and romantic.

4.) Make a video compilation or a flipagram of both of you with all your fun and memorable pics and show it to them on Valentine’s day. If you have a smart tv it will be even better to show it to them over there on the big screen.

5.) Prepare breakfast with most of the food are like heart shapes. It will definitely put instant smile on your love ones faces.

I only put ideas here that are not expensive because the best things in life are mostly free and doesn’t have to be pricey.

I wish you all a happy weekend and thank you for stopping by and commenting.

DETAILS: TOP AND BOTTOM – GAP SIMILAR TOP HERE AMD BOTTOM HERE/ SHOES – NIKE (SIMILAR STYLE HERE)

Happy Friday! Today, I will start back to my workout routine as I have slacked during the holidays. It was really hard for me to keep up with my daily workout routine. As I was planning on packing things for our recent family vacation. And all the food that was there during the festivities.

This day, moving forward and as my goal for this year. I will be more active than I was last year. I must say that 2015 was really a great year for me being somewhat consistent with working out. Again, I will use my nike training App and S health from my android phone. I want to be toned and look very fit. Not only by exercising but also eating the right food and the right amount. Being fit makes me feel good. And I know that I am becoming a good example to my children as sometimes they will follow my workout routines, It becomes our bonding.

And to all the mommies like me. You know you also have to take care of you as how you take care of the whole family.

Let’s workout together and be fit! I know it is hard but all we can do is start.

Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments. Have a great weekend and if you live in the East coast like me. Be safe and stay warm.

How I Met My Husband

October 28, 2015 25 Comments

How I Met My Husband

Good morning to everyone! This post is not fashion related. I just want to share a private now public part of my life to all of you.

Today marks our 9th year wedding anniversary. I just want to share to all my readers how blessed I am to have my husband in my life. And All of you would not believe how I met him. This post is dedicated to him because he always supports me in everything I do, specially this blogging! Now that He became my official photographer. Thank you so much sweetie!

Back in 1999, I was attending my cousin’s birthday but I was getting bored so I thought about texting random numbers close to the last 4 digit of my cellphone number just to say hi and see who will respond back to a stranger. It was my husband’s cousin who responded to my message. She was very friendly, so we’ve been texting ever since then. Then she gave my number to (now) my sister-in-law then she gave my number to her brother (now) my husband because she said we we’re the same age.

Then he started texting me, he told me where he goes to school, where he stays and since then, he started sending me those’ cute quotes almost everyday. Which was so sweet of him. It was fun texting with him because He is a very sensible man. I didn’t feel love though, just having fun exchanging messages with him.

So, it has been 2 months texting each other. He started asking this questions “can you be my girl?” And I was just playing so I responded back right away saying “yup!” Lol. Then he asked me again “so you’re my girl now?” And I said “yup!” After that I got really scared and nervous because he started saying I love you on all his text messages after me saying yes. Then he asked me if we could meet up. It was really nervous and scared of course because I will be meeting a total stranger even though we always text each other.

I found out I was gonna be my baby brothers chaperone for his field trip. That gave me an idea that it will be a safe place to meet a stranger because we have the other school people with us. So I told him yes we can meet at the zoo, he agreed!

Yes, it was at the Manila Zoo, right in front of the big bird cage that we met for the first time. He was with his younger cousin and he doesn’t look scary. He was very pleasant and he was very nice to me and my baby brother. It was so funny meeting each other for the first time to think we are officially BF and GF technically. Then he started putting his arms around me then I gave him the look. Then he backed off and by the end of the trip he was asking for a goodbye kiss. And I said “no!” Can you see all my baby brother classmates mom? They are gonna tell my parents. Then he stopped asking.

After that, we started talking more on the phone not just texting. He really invested time, effort everything to me, then I stared falling in love with him and that was it!

He is the present, enjoying our life together with our two beautiful children.

I also wanna share some of our pictures on our anniversary, because it is close to Halloween some of them we celebrated on Halloween day 🙂

Xo,

Christianne

Have a nice day!

Becoming Our Lifestyle

August 28, 2015 No Comments

Finally, I was able to be back on track as far as exercising. I have been doing a lot of cardio lately. I try to do it 5 days a week more on Zumba and elliptical. I have been wanting to do the nike training but it is not happening now. I believe it will be effective if I will get up really early when my kids are still sleeping and exercise. It it really is a dedication to achieve something. Right now, my husband and I still trying on different routines, since my mom left (she was really a big help).

As for my diet, I have been snacking healthy, I usually have Greek yogurt and whole grain crackers and quack mole. I have been eating brown rice with quinoa for my rice. I must say I have been eating healthy food. I do cheat too. And Like what I have been saying before, I signed up for this S health on my phone and there I input my food intake, water intake and it helps so I can keep track.

Working on making this a long term habit is still a work in progress. When you have kids, things change quite often. I just have to be flexible.

My measurements are still the same, since I have not been doing nike training. Like I said cardio is the main exercise I do so I kept my weight to 127 lbs. 1 more lb and then I reached my goal. But my ultimate goal is to lose inches. I want to be toned. That looks better, for me if I look better it makes me feel better.

Happy Friday Everyone!

I hope I inspired you.

How to be successful when trying to lose weight

May 18, 2015 No Comments

I am not an expert on losing weight but being able to work in a slimming center for 5 years and being in the healthcare field made me come up with this tips. Because most of my friends ask me about this all the time.

How come You have maintained my weight even after having 2 kids? Just to let you all know, I am not those lucky ones who only had the belly baby and shrank right away after giving birth. I gained 45 lbs on the first one and 35 lbs on my second pregnancy. Be the judge and Let me know if you agree..

1. MIND SET. think of something that you achieved that you wanted so bad. Didn’t you put your mind to it at first and thought about it and told yourself I’m gonna do this and I will succeed! If you already think like that then you are on the right track.

You have to condition your mind. It is so powerful that if you think and imagine it everyday. Then your whole body will go with it.

2. Motivation. What motivates you? what ever reasons you have, if it motivates you then continue with it. My motivation is, I want to be able to back to my pre baby weight or close to it. Because I always feel good when I was that weight. I am energetic, easy to find clothes that fit me, I just feel comfortable.

2. Discipline. There is always temptation for us here and there. But if you are disciplined. You can stay away from those temptation and be focused.

3. Just do it! start! everything that we do is always hard on the first try. But your body can adjust with it. It just have to be a routine for you. Give yourself at least 15- 30 mins at least 3-5x a week.

Those list of clean diet and exercises will not show results if you do not have these key ingredient. You have to have all right ingredient to be successful in losing weight, actually on everything. Be consistent.

Enjoy your journey. You can chit chat with me, a real human being if you do not want to go through this by yourself. Let me boost your confidence. As I always tell my friends. Let us help each other.

A week after giving birth to my second baby.

4 weeks post partum. Just doing little Zumba at home. 15-30 mins whenever I can.

I do clean eating and exercise. I also have cheat days.
Hope to see all of you succeed. I just want to inspire everybody who is struggling.

First time running…

April 17, 2015 No Comments

First time running…

Let me share to all that I joined this Glowrun 5k this coming April 25, 2015 in DC at the RFK stadium. I’ve been really wanting to sign up for those type of events since I am into fitness and health. And I also know it is gonna be fun even though I’ll be sore and tired after. Well, it’ll be all worth it. So last week my co worker and I decided that we should practice first just so to build endurance. So yesterday was the day.

We parked at Belle haven park in Alexandria, VA. From there up to the overpass on the Maryland side and back is a total of 5 miles.

So then we started, I felt like… oh well I haven’t done any running. I don’t think that I ‘ll survive this. I only do brisk walking when go to this trail with my daughter and husband. So my co worker and I started running and whew! We did a mile without resting, thanks for my comfy running shoes. I didn’t know I will last that long. There goes the saying “you’ll never know unless you try.” That felt good. I did it! We did like 2.5 mile walk and 2.5 mile run. And I just want all of you to know the view here is so nice. You get to see the Potomac river, the national harbor, DC monument and DC capitol.

So for any of you feeling they can’t do things. Try it first and see. we all have strengths inside us that we just don’t know.

Simply,

Christianne
