I heard my new #MrCandies commercial is out! 🍬 I heard my new #MrCandies commercial is out! 🍬 But I hardly watch regular TV anymore, so I probably won’t ever see it, haha! 🎬 Swipe for behind-the-scenes clips and to see some of my “stunts.”🏄🏻‍♀️ Funny story: I didn’t know @dorischeong_ was also cast for the commercial until we parked our cars next to each other on fitting day. 👯 #tvcommercial #naturalcurls
Hey Philippines, we’re about to hit our first qu Hey Philippines, we’re about to hit our first quarantine anniversary. 😱 Remember when we thought the lockdown would last for only a few weeks? I can only laugh at myself maniacally. 

What new hobbies keep you sane? I’ve picked up dozens! I’m grateful for the friends and brands that support my blog by sending me new stuff to try out and use for my editorials with #KateWasHere and @phgirltalk. 

L-R from top left:

1. #PressedFlowers. I love picking up wildflowers from my neighborhood whenever I walk my dogs. Here are some from the summer of 2020, which I can’t believe is almost a year ago. 🌺
2. #Seashells from the seashore—some shells I got from my Calatagan (Batangas) glamping trip in December 🐚
3. My trusty #Pylones makeup brush gifted by @thepowderroombeautylounge @thepowderroom.manilabay. 
4. My new toy from @imagic.ph, the versatile 12-Flash Color Palette, which you can use as face and body makeup. Time to practice for Halloween 2021, haha! #imagicph 💋
5. My 2021 #NaviPlanner from @crazyaboutpaperstore and @bdjbuzz, which is slowly turning into a scrapbook, haha! 📖
6. #JessicaZafra’s new book, #TheAgeOfUmbrage. My sister @abagofgoodies gave me a ton of books from @_fullybooked, woohoo! 📚
7. My #journal from @bagi_bagz’s cruise ship. I find myself #writing more for myself. It’s not just about the paid articles with a deadline or blog posts with a target audience. I write for the most private and critical audience—myself. 📝
8. I wish I could remember the name of the designer of this seashell ring! 
8. Like my #nailart? I used the Liquid Vinyl Lacquer topped with Kick Glass, both from @orlyph. #orlyph #orlykickglassmani 💅🏼
9. I finally found the best dupe for The Ordinary, which is always out of stock in Manila. Check out @modestskincare.ph’s range of cruelty-free serums. Full review coming soon. #modestskincareph 

Tell me more about your #hobbies. We need them to get through the longest lockdown in the world. 😷
