HIGHLIGHTS OF 2018

As tradition for the past years, I can't let last year passed by without highlighting my happenings. 2018 was an awesome year in terms of blogging. I want to start my 2019 chapter by being grateful to everything that happened last year. I may have lost touch with some PR's and Brands last year (especially if hindi ka nakakaattend ng events nila nakalimutan ka na. Sad but true) but still mas madami akong naging opportunities, doors and windows were opened for me and new experiences as well. Super grateful that despite of my being MIA sometimes, my family, readers and supporters, PR's and Brands, andyan pa din kayo. Salamat sa mga Brands na nag tap for online campaigns not only for me but for #TeamSofIsha as well. I'm praying and hoping that this 2019 I'll be more consistent, up to date and mas visible tayo ngayon, and that I'll grow more as a Mommy and Lifestyle Blogger. I know I still have a lot to learn. Walang iwanan, okieee? hehe!

Anyway, just want to highlight my 2018. Though hindi na ako nakakaattend talaga ng mga launches and events, still grateful that I was able to attend kahit konti lang (salamat sa Mom ko na babysitter ni Isha and sa mga nakakapagsundo kay Sofi). Sharing with you some photos from last year.

UPGRADE YOUR MAKEUP GAME THIS 2019

This 2019, dare to be different by experimenting with new makeup routines and looks for an upgraded version of you. Let EB Advance, the premier line of Ever Bilena Cosmetics, help you with these simple makeup tips:

Highlight over foundation for skin that glows from within. The usual step that most follow is to apply primer then foundation. But if you want to achieve natural-looking glowy skin, switch up your makeup routine a bit and brush on EB Advance Glow Out Highlighter (P299) on the high points of your cheeks, bridge of your nose, temples, Cupid’s bow, and chin right after priming. Dab on your favorite foundation then proceed with the rest of your routine. You can opt to intensify your highlighter by adding another layer after finishing your makeup. You can also use highlighter on your body such as your collarbones, shoulders, and legs for that sun-kissed glow.

ARROWLAND BY GANDIVA AT SM NORTH EDSA

If you're looking for some indoor, fun activity, I know a place in SM North Edsa that will give you a thrill. Be a Katniss for once at Arrowland by Gandiva, located at SM Annex. 

Sofi and I had fun, together with some of our blogger friends at Arrowland. We went there as part of our Eat, Play, Shop crawl at SM North Edsa. I'll be sharing with you the eat and shop crawl, soon. Ang hirap kasi if you have at least 500 photos to choose from, haha! I'll share our highlights soon. :D

Anyway, we were lucky 'cos Arrowland was not full that day (dahil siguro it was a Thursday) so we were able to play and be taught by staff especially some of us were first timers. I was able to try it before pero once lang and nakalimutan ko na. Parang andali lang nya pero once you're there with proper gear, wow ang hirap pala...or wala lang akong body coordination - haha!

THE FAMILY MUHLACH'S GREATEST JOY IN A NEW JOLLIBEE AD
