Always Feeling Fresh with My New Beauty UpgradeAlways Feeling Fresh with My New Beauty Upgrade

Let me tell you What makes me always feeling fresh. I was so happy to be able to partner with the brand that I have been using and loving everyday. I am so excited to tell you my story why I switched to Dove and why this partnership was a perfect fit. As a physical therapist, I am always on the move at work. As a mom, also active at home and also when I workout.When I am resting, I will sit next to hubby and tell him about my work or workout. He will always tells me my underarm doesn’t smell good. I will always get offended and will say “I put on a deodorant you know! You must be smelling something else” Then he will say, “well… you better change it because it is not working.” You may say he is harsh but he was just trying to help. He will always tells me that instead of other people telling you that let me tell you now because I am just concern about you. (that is love <3)

But then he was telling the truth, I really do smell after work, workouts and mommy duties so I went to the store to get me a new antiperspirant. I have been hearing good things about Dove so I gave it a try. I’m glad I made the right choice switching to Dove. Since then, even though I am sweaty, I never heard any comment that I don’t smell good. This really does the job! And this Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant offers 48 hours of odor and wetness protection plus added skincare benefits of Dove ¼ moisturizers and NutriumMoisture for softer, smoother underarms. Another plus for the skin that I like about it.

ADIDAS DURAMO 8 SHOES (very comfy!!!) also use THIS ONE

Being a mom with a full time day job and a blog on the side. It is really hard to keep up and work out or even go to a gym. It is almost close to impossible at times. But of course I work in the Medical field so I gotta be fit and to also to be a good example to my kids.

So the question I get a lot is How do I stay fit without a gym membership? Honestly, I have my own gym at home but I never really go there and use the equipment. What I do is….

  1. of course I try to eat healthy food as much as I can (this gotta be number one)
  2. As I have been saying before, I have been using the Nike training app and they have all these program you can follow depending on what your goal is. I actually wanna be toned, specially on my mid section.
  3. You have to have a supportive Husband who will actually give you time at least 30 mins to workout and also motivates you. (if you don’t have that… I suggest workout really early or late when the kids are sleep, I use that time to do my blog…)
  4. I use Youtube and follow Ricardo Rodrigues Zumba exercises, it is sooo extreme. I really sweat a lot afterwards.
  5. I use this Zumba workout set . I just do at least one of each each week.

I usually do it at night, all my workout. At least 30 mins and at least 3-4x a week. I just started back again January as I really wanna be toned by Spring. I am looking forward to our up coming trip for Adi’s 7th birthday.

Most of them you already have at home. It is the disciple and staying focus is the hard part. Let’s all be a better us this year.

Happy Hump Day and thank you for stopping by.

Christmas 2016

Christmas 2016 Christmas 2016 Christmas 2016 Christmas 2016 Christmas 2016 Christmas 2016

Kids outfits are from Gymboree and my dress is from Fashionfrenzyatl as worn here

It is almost Christmas, finally! This is the best time of the year for me and my family. As it means a lot of family bonding, family and friends gathering and just being merry. That is why I disagree when I hear people say the Christmas is just for kids.

It also means that w e travel to New York to meet our relatives there which every Christmas. So here we are, as a family, we are just sending warm Christmas greetings to all of you. May you have the best time of the year and only few more sleep and then we welcome the New Year 2017.

May you all have the beautiful Christmas day and safe travels for all of you who will be travelling.

Apple and Pumpkin Picking

Apple and Pumpkin Picking Apple and Pumpkin Picking Apple and Pumpkin Picking Apple and Pumpkin Picking Apple and Pumpkin Picking  Adi said she was very happy she was able to pick her own apples. Apple and Pumpkin Picking Apple and Pumpkin Picking Apple and Pumpkin Picking When we went for apple picking it was the day after my birthday (mid September) and the weather was very nice that is why we were all wearing T-shirts here. For right now, since the weather is getting cold. This is one of my favorite looks from Fall last year. This (the picture below) is something I would wear for apple or pumpkin picking now because the weather is colder.

Apple and Pumpkin Picking

PONCHO (OLD) SIMILAR HERE AND HERE/ BOOTIES (OLD) SIMILAR HERE AND HERE 

Apple and pumpkin picking are some of the fall activities we enjoy doing as a family during fall. It is fun for everyone and we all feel like a child when we do these things. Like right now, Aidan is really appreciating more of what we do because he can understand now more of what is happening around him. Another thing that I would suggest to do this fall is visit a place with a lot of foliage. If you live in the east coast like I do you probably have mountains like our Shenandoah Valley where you can enjoy the view and play with the foliage. This was our Foliage experience last year here

How about you? Do you have any fall activities that you do that you are always excited about during this time of the year? Please share on the comments below as I am always open to try new things and do it with my family.

Thank you for visiting my page and for all your comments. Happy weekend to all of you! In case You have topics you would want me to talk about feel free to let me know or email me directly here at iannemcabangon@gmail.com

How to Survive Long Driving this Summer

T-SHIRT c/o SERENGETEE

SHORTS (OLD) SIMILAR HERE

AVIATOR SUNGLASSES

LOUIS VUITTON HANDBAG SIMILAR HERE (LESS EXPENSIVE)

CROCS FLIP FLOPS

Just sharing with you all how I/we survived long driving this summer. As you all know, we went to Florida 3 weeks ago for that 4th of July week. So from Maryland to Orlando, Florida. It took us 16 hours to get there including some traffics we encountered and stop overs to those rest areas to get food and use the bathroom. I was only the passenger the whole time.

  1. Wear proper clothing – As you can see on my outfit, the simplest and comfiest clothing I can wear was shorts, T-shirt and super soft flip flops!! As if I am just at home, right? (make sure to check the weather to the destination you will be going too to see if you need extra layers)
  2. Bring you favorite play list, it will keep you up on the road.
  3. Bring in your cooler and store all your cold drinks to keep you hydrated and some fresh fruits like grapes, cherries… This will give you energy and will pump you up.
  4. Bring some pillow and blankets so you can position yourself comfortably inside the car.
  5. Use sun protectors for your car. The one that you put on the windshield and windows so your skin will not be on direct sunlight.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you all for stopping by and for all your sweet comments.

First Year Blog Anniversary

First Year Blog Anniversary

 

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,

Christianne

Romantic Ideas for Valentine’s Day

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

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.

Simply,

Christianne

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.

Simply,

Christianne
