My Mind In Random Promo Giveaway: PASSION MANILA 2014 TICKETS UP FOR GRABS!

Due to my extreme excitement, I was able to have my ticket for Passion Manila 2014 months before its event date (initially it’s March 28 but another date has been added, March 27, to accommodate those who were not able to book their tickets for the 28^th). 

But I have to give up this concert in order to give way to our church’s Encounter God Retreat (EGR) and Music Workshop.

On that note, I decided to give away THREE UPPER BOX-A Passion Manila 2014 Passes, with total worth of Php 1,500 (Php 500 each ticket).

Karen’s Beauty Post # 6: All Firsts: Sample Room VIP Experience – Part 1

Hello!  It’s been quite a long time since my last post (Yes, 8 days is quite long for me!).  Been crazily busy over the past weeks due to accounting workloads, photoshoots and church activities.  And I’m loving it!  

It was said that you should love your work and your work will love you back… I guess it’s true.  Though tired and exhausted at times, I thank God because He kept me busy and productive.  And what adds more to the happiness is that I did these things with my husband.  It's indeed true that you'll love doing things the more if you're doing it with the one that you love the most. (insert "awwwwwww" here)

Anyway, let me share to you my first experience as a Sample Room VIP member and also my Glamourbox first online shopping story.

Karen’s Journey to 140: The Beauty of Juicing

Way before juicing became a trend in the world of health, fitness and dieting, my family is already doing this, but mainly on fruits.  My husband have heard of Detoxify Bar and wanted to try it so badly that we ended up arguing—and trying it.

Detoxify Bar in Eastwood, Quezon City

You see, Php 1,350 for a day’s consumption of five bottles and two teabags is too pricey for me.  I won’t elaborate on how Zham ended up after consuming all of these, but one thing is what I wanted to tell you—we have to make our own!

Zham became a few pounds lighter and he said he really felt good.  So I was really curious, I wanted to try it out as well but I’m not that willing to shell out a fortune to try ready made juices like the one from Detoxify Bar.  So I suggested that we should buy a juicer and make our own fruit and vegan juice.

Karen’s Beauty Post # 5: I’m Now a Certified Snoe-aholic!

Last night after work, Zham and I went to Robinsons Galleria to buy a replacement for his bag.  Then I suddenly remembered that Snoe has its store at the said mall.  I really wanted to check that out after I received and tried their products through the Glamourbox Snoe Special Edition.

We finally reached the store at the third floor.  I was excited to see the other Snoe product offerings.

Let me share to you some items that I bought from them last night:

Karen’s Random Note: Enduring the MRT Stress

I did my best to log out of work by 7 PM, on the dot.  I need to go home to make up some time with my husband after a few months of being extremely busy.

And I succeeded.  Well, sort of.  I went out 7:05 PM.

From Emerald Avenue where my office is located, I walked briskly with my laptop (without the charger to lessen the load), my ever reliable, “not-that-big-but-not-that-small-either” shoulder bag, and my shawl around my shoulders, and with my flat shoes on.  After 15 minutes, I walked from there to the MRT Ortigas Station.  It felt good whenever I pass by on people walking towards EDSA.  For me it feels like I saved precious time as I walked past them.  It also felt like I am improving on my walking pace, thanks to my twice a week jog with Zham.

Anyway, as I approached the escalator, I became like…
