Pampering Gifts for Valetine's Day

Flowers or chocolates are nice. But honestly, I am not that type who like receiving these kinds of gifts. I would much prefer getting pampering gifts - stuff that I could actually use. And my husband knows it too well so he has taken a hint over the past few years. You know the type - shower gel, body scrubs, scented candles. These win me over!

If you are this type, too, you might want to send over these items to your man:

French Girl Organics Sea Soak
Organic Blendz Coffee Body Scrub
The Face Shop Green Tea Face Mask
Kai Reed Diffuser
The Candleroom Lavender Essential Oil
Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Night Fragrance Lotion
Little Giraffe Chenille Robe

What other types of gifts do you like to receive, especially on Valentine's Day?

Floral Maxi Romper: Two of My Fave in One


First and foremost, pardon for not having proper outfit shots. I was on full vacation mode while in Boracay that taking photos of what I was wearing was the last thing on my mind. I just needed to share this look on the blog because this maxi romper is one of my favorite things to wear recently.

OUTFIT DETAILS: Floral Off Shoulder Maxi Romper
It took me a long time to give into buying this maxi romper. I love wearing a maxi dress and romper, but at first I thought it was somewhat ridiculous to combine the two. To my surprise, putting this on felt so comfortable. When you're on vacation and you spend a lot of time walking around, you will appreciate how comfortable this outfit can be. I like that you can get the comfort of wearing shorts but also the fashionable touch of wearing an off-shoulder maxi dress. It felt so summer-y and beach-y, which truly made it an essential in my packing list.

Lastly, anyone who has read this blog before knows how big of a fan I am of any floral prints. The summery floral print with the vibrant burgundy was begging to be on my vacation packing list! I can't deny that this was one of my favorite outfits that I wore during our most recent vacation. At only a little over $25, the fabric felt more expensive than it really is. That is a good deal in my book!

I know I am a bit late to the trend, but I wanted to ask: would you wear the maxi romper trend?

Zaful Swimwear Review + One Shoulder Bikinis You'll Want NOW

Zaful Orange Scalloped Swimwear is available here  ($20 ONLY)
Just a few weeks ago, I was talking about NYE outfits and now I can't believe that summer is on the horizon. It is a hot season for traveling and getaways (pun intended); hence, I'd like to get an early head start when it comes to planning summer getaways. Case in point: shopping for a swimwear. I am pretty sure that a beach getaway will be in the book for any of your future summer plans. Hence, I wanted to share my thoughts on this swimwear that I got from Zaful.

OUTFIT DETAILS
Zaful Scalloped One-Shoulder Swimwear / Floppy Hat (similar- red not available)
I packed this one shoulder scalloped swimwear on our recent trip to Boracay for our second wedding anniversary. I got a lot of compliment wearing it and is definitely one of my favorite purchases from Zaful to date. The color is as vibrant as I hoped or expected. The material is also of solid construction, which is impressive for its price. I like the snug fit too. It gives you more confidence when swimming or doing water activities that it will stay on. Gladly, I didn't do anything too active during my time in Boracay last December. Nonetheless, it helped to keep my swimming style on point. I was a bit skeptical about trying on a one-shoulder swimsuit but I am glad I did.

I couldn't speak highly enough of this swimwear especially for its price point. If you are interested to get my swimwear, it is also available in a few other color options such as blackish green, burgundy, grey olive, and merlot.

How to Wear the Pearls Trend This 2018

Pearls is as classic as it can get. I have a go-to pearl stud earrings that I wear on most days that I don't like to dress it up with statement earrings, or I want to add a classic touch to my outfit. You simply cannot go wrong with pearls! One of the reasons why pearls are classic is due to the fact that designers have managed to reinvent it all the time. Adding a modern twist to pearl is through the use of it as embellishment to common fashion pieces.

The ladylike pearl embellished effect is seeing a new resurgence in 2017. However, fashion experts predict that it will continue to ride the fashion wave in 2018. Personally, it is one trend that I cannot wait to dig my hands into. These are some of the top fashion pieces featuring the pearl embellished trend that I am excited to try.

Top to Bottom: Black Pearl Beret / Pearl Flat Sandals / Bardot Pearl Dress / Pearl Split Sleeve Blouse / Pearl Studded Pouch / Pearl Crop Top / Pearl Midi SkirtSilk City Mule with Pearls


What are your thoughts on the pearl embellished trend?
