Since Valentine’s day is a week from now. I came up with this 5 fun date ideas for couples. It doesn’t have to always be like eating out in a fine dining restaurant or preparing candle light dinner at home. I made sure that both of you will enjoy and will sleep together with smile on your face and fun memories to share. Also my date is not on the picture, he is the one behind the Lens taking these gorgeous photos.

Re-create your first date

I am already excited for this one because we were only 18 when we first went on a date. We were in college and living on our limited allowance so make a guess where it was? It was at McDonald’s! So can you imagine that, just typing this I am already smiling and reminiscing those fun moments. I bet you also have that lovely moment together on your first date.

2.Play a Couples Game: Check out this book A Quiz Book For Couples

I though about this because last New Years Eve. Our friends and our family had this couples game to try something new as we only always have games for the kids. Moments like this shouldn’t just be for Valentine’s day anyway right? Do you agree? So in here both couples were asked questions and you both should have the same answer. It was so funny to see if you don’t get the same answer and you both have some explanations why you answered that way.

3. Play a New Sport together that you’ve been wanting to try

You might not be a sporty type or even your partner but trying out something different is not a bad idea. You might actually realize that that could be both your new sports and add it to your routine as a couple. Just adding some spice to your life as life gets so busy and you tend to lose the magic along the way. This is the time to hit that button and start anew.

4. Check out Groupon and try some new classes together

There are a bunch of classes going on around your area. You just have to explore it and make use of the discounted rates Groupon or living social has to offer. Dates doesn’t always have to be fancy anyway. It will be nice not to think about dressing up for a date right? Just staying low key is the key!

5. If you want something fancy. Try doing a Dinner Cruise Together.

I know us ladies, we always have that spot in our heart were we wish we have a Mr. Grey to pick us up and take us to a date of our romantic dreams. This is a way romantic as you are dining while cruising on what river you have in your are, you wearing your prettiest outfit and being serenaded as well.

I hope I was able to add something good on your list. Thank you for stopping by.

How I Manage Blogging, Work and Being a Mom

How I Manage Blogging, Work and Being a Mom?

Hello friends, Today, I want to share how I navigate the juggling act of blogging, a full-time job, and my roles as a wife and mom – a topic frequently asked by readers, followers, and coworkers. Let’s debunk the myth right away: I’m no superwoman. What makes it work is the incredible support from my family, especially my husband, who happily doubles as my designated photographer, understanding my passion for fashion.

Prioritization and Organization:

The ultimate key is prioritization and organization. While it can be overwhelming at times, family always comes first. If you don’t see a blog post during those hectic moments, it’s because family priorities take precedence.

A Peek into My Week:

I work Monday to Friday as a Physical Therapist with a flexible schedule. I prefer early starts to leave early and pick up the kids. Our meal plan, crafted since moving to the US, is a joint effort. Lucky for me, my husband takes on the cooking duties.

Mom Duties:

As a mom, evenings are a whirlwind of activities – from bathing the kids to prepping for the next day. Weekends are dedicated to quality time, including movie nights and accompanying my daughter to gymnastics and dance classes.

Wife Responsibilities:

Date nights are a priority, especially with my father-in-law’s help. When not possible, we enjoy cozy movie nights. Playing in a band together strengthens our bond, and breakfast is a daily ritual, just the two of us.

Balancing Blogger Life:

Balancing the blogger aspect involves strategic Instagram posts during the day. I aim to blog on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, often working on weekends. Busy weekends involve household chores, Sunday school trips, and occasionally, extra work on Saturdays. Planned photoshoots depend on weather conditions.

Gratitude for Support:

Attempting to juggle it all wouldn’t be possible without my husband’s support. It’s not about having a partner exactly like mine, but having someone willing to lend a hand is invaluable.

I hope this sheds light on how I manage these various roles. Wishing you all a joyful week ahead, and thank you for stopping by and being part of this journey!

Just Do It! How I got my Confidence and be able to start a Fashion/Lifestyle/Travel Blog

And yes! I am blogging for almost 3 years now and my motivation: Just Do It! How I got my Confidence and be able to start a Fashion/Lifestyle/Travel Blog. If I did not start this blogging journey in 2015. I’d probably still wondering if I can do this. The key is if you have the vision, dream and passion for something. Stop procrastinating and just do it. You will never know where it will take you until you try it. So far I am really enjoying what I am doing here on the side.

I started blogging because I was inspired by those top fashion influencers like Aimee Song, Rachel Parcell and Christine Andrew. I really enjoy looking at their instagram feed wearing nice outfits and living the life. And so I was really afraid to dive in but I did. I know I have the passion for fashion as I have mentioned before that I really wanted to be a model, mind you, runway model as I want to wear beautiful outfits, travel the world and stuff like that. The one I always see on those fashion magazines I read all the time. I made it one time to one of those magazines. I was able to show off one time showing real girls, real body series of Cosmopolitan Philippines back in 2014. I really do believe that if you want something done, just start it. Along the way keep on improving yourself to achieve your end goal whatever it is.

I am writing this to inspire all the women out there and my readers that is you can dream it, you can do it too. To tell you all the truth, back in High school I had very low self esteem. I don’t want to look at the public restroom mirrors as I always taught I will be the ugliest face there together with the other girls. I also did not want to wear shorts in public as I am insecure with my legs. I was so shy that I do not have that much friends in high school.

And look at me now modelling for all of you. Showing off different outfits with confidence. I am actually back tracking how I got my confidence. I do believe it started when I met my husband, my boyfriend then. He always tells me you can do it! He always believe in me. So if he believes in me why will I not believe in myself right? So I encourage you all that what ever your hearts desire. try to pursue it and you will be happy. Just like this at least partially I feel like I was able to fulfill that modelling dream. Also hang out with people who believe in your abilities and to those that you know will support you no matter what.

Writing this one, I felt like I wrote a novel of my life even though I know I am not a good writer that is why I’d rather pose for a picture 🙂 lol! I hope I was able to inspire you ladies to reach for your dreams in my own little way. As I always mention. I want to connect with all of you and if you have questions just send me a message. We are all here to support each other.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing you this lovely Green Trench Coat I wore over the weekend. It was so windy when we were doing this photo shoot but it actually made a good effects on the pictures. The only thing lacking is a helicopter in the background right? That is actually one of my dreams is to ride one, I am so inspired by @hellofashionblog as she does it all the time.

As for this look, during the winter we always see dark colors like mostly black. So I tried adding this dark green coat to add some life to the whole outfit. I am so glad that it did and it really stand out! I am not really into green much but I really love this dark green color, it is such a classy color to add to the wardrobe.

I can also wear this with all white outfit. That is actual;ly one on my outfit vision board. I was thinking of a perfect white jumpsuit and viola, That can automatically be a transitioning style from winter to spring look. What do you think? Share me some of your thoughts and I would love to read them.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a fantastic week ahead.

I apologize for the late upload. As you may notice I have not been regularly posting on the blog. It was supposed to be MWF and I have been personally been very busy. As you all know I work full time, I am a mom, I also am a vocalist of a band… I know I do a lot of stuff on the side. But I love fashion more than anything as my extra curricular activity.

That being said, I am here to give you inspiration early for Valentines day. I was shopping at Gap Factory and found a lot of cute items on sale and found this cute tee and got me thinking this is a very simple outfit we can al wear on Vday as a casual look. Very easy to pull and can be worn all year round not only on “THE” day.

I added all pops of red I can find in my closet. I was thinking of adding my red beret but I thought It will be an overkill. Do you love wearing something for any occasion? Is there anything else you would all wanna see me post here on my blog for some Valentines inspiration? Just let me know your thoughts so I can come up with a blog post for it. I am here to inspire and women and I try my best to always be relateable

Thank you so much for stopping by and below are some other Valentines outfits you might wanna consider.

Happy Monday all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I just wanna share to you all what I wore this weekend during one of the festivals we had at church. I just kept it simple wearing this perfect fit High waist jeans I scored at HM. I also hot this cute sweater from Gap to pair with it and loving it all together, This pair of jeans surely made my legs look longer. That has always been my body issue as I am 5’6″ tall but sometimes it doesn’t show in the photos because my torso is actually longer. Do you share the same sentiments? Then this jeans is for you! I am glad I came across with something that really fits me. I am wearing size 8 here. Have you tried and embrace the high waist jeans trend? I am loving it so much.

This look is actually a bit for Spring to me. So happy to have the 60 degree Spring like weather yesterday. I did not even have to wear a coat over this look. You know you can always just add a winter trench or a teddy coat over this outfit when the temperature starts to drop. Which did not happen to me so it was really perfect! Do you like graphic tees or sweaters like this. I just found it so cute.

I hope I was able to give some inspirations to all of you. Let’s all beat this work week and stay confident and strong ladies. Let us use our inner girl boss within us.

Thank you for stopping by and may you all have a wonderful week ahead.

Have you ever thought that sometimes you wish winter is over? You always wear cute outfits but then you don’t get to show it because it is too cold to even remove your coat. So here is what is inside my Winter Coat look. I was able to snag some items from the Zara sale and found these cute blouse and my current obsession (white boots!!) they are both under $30. Such a great style and quality and perfect sale items. You can ear this until Spring comes.

I am really into this white boots because it is just the opposite of black and can also be worn with anything! And You shouldn’t be wearing white after labor day is the thing of the past, I believe you can just wear about anything as long as you wear your confidence with it. Am i right? It is how you project yourself and it is the best outfit you can ever wear.

Have you been shopping for Spring wardrobe already? Thank you for stopping by.

Want to add a touch of Spring to your Winter wardrobe? Glad to have tried this one, chunky knit sweater forever! It is the warmest, cutest and coziest sweater I have ever worn. I really thought it will only be best for spring but I was wrong. It was 20 degrees when we were shooting this and never felt cold. It made me wanna sing, the cold neve r bothered me anyway!

This is one sweater that you can wear now until Spring. It is also easy to style, you just add this to your basic look and it will already give it the stylish feel. As you can see here I am only wearing the classic white pumps and basic spaghetti top and jeans and when I added this chunky knit sweater, viola! Outfit elevated or I should say upgraded!

Winter can be so brutal that even though you are wearing the most stylish inside, you cannot show it off because of the cold. You will end up just keeping the jacket, coat or sweater on. That being said you’d rather invest in stylish outwear styles, right? That is my recommendation for all you fashionistas out there.

I hope you all had a wonderful day and Happy MLK day!

Shearling Wool Jacket to keep you Warm

OUTFIT DETAILS:

TOBI SHEARLING WOOL JACKET c/o SIMILAR HERE AND HERE

TOBI BLACK JUMPSUIT (as worn here)

ZARA KITTEN HEEL BOOTIES (as worn here)

It is exceptionally warm today here in Maryland and wearing this Shearling wool jacket to keep you warm will need a break today. It will surely be used again his weekend because temps will start to drop again and back to the true winter weather. I just love the simplicity of this style as to add some spice I wore my white kitten heel booties that I am currently obsessed right now. I have been wearing it frequently! For a more low key look, the best combination would be UGGs as they blend together.

I wore this to run some errands and got a lot of compliments with it. Maybe because a lot of people can relate to ne wearing it around this time of the year and the neutral color is so easy to pair with anything. I just love the versatility of this jacket and the warmth it can give you. The collar is the best part of it where you can wear up to replace the scarf or wear it rolled down just for a more relaxed feel.

What do you think about this jacket? Would you wear something like this? Let me know your thoughts and also your favorite outerwear.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful long weekend. Where are you headed to or you are just staying local. I know we are planning to go up the mountains for some snow tubing if the weather permits. I will keep you posted on my instastories so go follow along my instagram.

I know we just started the first leg of Winter but I am already so done with it. Can we fast forward into Spring please?! Do not get me wrong I love wearing pretty coats and jackets but it is too cold still. I wanna show off the outfit inside, Now you get me? So here is my idea of an outfit for spring and I am so excited that this Friday it will be 63 degrees yeepee! I’ll will definitely break this off shoulder sweater in. I am also all out for the Sprig fling with this light blue cross body bag pairing it all with my current obsession, the white kitten heels booties.

Are you with me on fast forwarding Spring? As you may notice that I did photo shoot inside the house so sorry about the lighting, it was already pitch black outside. I have been wanting to do the photo shoot outdoors but it was 12 degrees. I did not want to take any chances and catch a cold. I hope you understand but this sweater dress is so chic and comfy.

I just feel so confident with this outfit and walking around with these chic booties, who wouldn’t be. So for you from the North East like me, let’s start wearing our fresh Spring wardrobe. we should be investing on them already right? It is a Holiday in Monday and what does that mean, sales! So let us all check out stores and make sure to visit my blog this Friday I might be able to share some great sales for your guys.
