Zoya the Healthy New Color of Fashion is now in Manila!


I was back in the grind yesterday. I attended an intimate event- the launching of Zoya nail polish here in the Philippines.

Zoya, dubbed as the healthy new color of fashion, has over 300 colors to choose from. The Philippine official distributor, Top That Corp., carries 270 of them. Not bad, right?

 Zoya Lovely Gie Gie (2 coats)

Part of Spring 2013 collection called Lovely, Zoya Gie Gie is a blushing cherry blossom pink metallic. 

For a change, I chose a subtle color like pink. Now that I have a baby, I think I have to tone down my choice of colors lol Surprisingly, the light pink color looks good on me. It looks clean and, uh, polished.

I was informed that Zoya is the longest wearing natural nail polish. Let's see if it will last until my party this coming Saturday. By the way, the photo was taken on Day 2, no chip yet whatsoever. It looks promising, let's wait and see ; )

See what color I took home after the break...

Remember When: Dragon Noodle Center in Malate

Do you have a childhood memory of your favorite restaurant that your family used to frequent to? Well, I do and it's Dragon Noodle Center located in Malate, Manila. Actually, I have written a post about it before, you can view it here. Admittedly, I took lousy photos. Photos which I am not so proud of ; p Instead of updating the post, I am now writing a new one ; p

 asado with rice PhP140

After rediscovering it back in 2009, I usually find myself back in this restaurant whenever I am in Manila.

For only PhP 140, you will get a plateful of asado with sauce-pa-lang-ulam-na ; p Now, all you need is an order of extra rice so you can now share this order with your best friend.

This dish is exactly how I remembered it back in those days ; )

Relaxing Weekend in Quan Spa Marriott Hotel Manila

My event: May 1, 2011

Marriott Hotel 
Manila

This is my pre- birthday present from Pevonia Botanica. Quan Spa inside Marriott Hotel Manila is a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. I am so happy that I get to share this experience with DH. 

Quan Spa

Quan literally means a source of pure water. It also refers to all things good and pure. At Quan Spa, the miracle of water lies ahead of you.

DH and I love spas! You can tell by my tweets and on my FB wall that we have weekly massages. We even recently discovered a home massage called Spa Amansala but that would be another post haha 

While Jen and I were direct messaging thru FaceBook about having Pevonia as one of my sponsor for my birthday blowout giveaway, topic about spas crop up. Apparently, Pevonia distributes organic spa products in prestigious spa like The Spa and Quan Spa. That's how DH and I were able to try Pevonia's Summer Temptation- a full body ritual that includes a body scrub, massage, 30 minute facial and bath soak. Tempting indeed!
