2013 Must Have: Belle de Jour Power Planner 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:27:00 -0800

Hi Lovelies,
I can't wait to have my Belle de Jour 2013 Power Planner!!!
Despite the fact that 2012 was definitely a busy year, my BDJ helped me a lot with planning and organizing my daily, weekly and even monthly tasks.
My mind would have been cluttered with thoughts and plans if without my BDJ Power Planner.

What I love about Belle de Jour Power Planner?
It is especially made for the Pinay fashionista achiever. The term Belle de Jour (bel duh zhoor’) is French fashion lingo for “It” girl, we have redefined it to mean the modern day renaissance woman who dares to achieve her goals, lives her dream life, makes a difference in her community, while doing everything in great style.

The power planner includes time-management principles to help BDJ Girls manage their life better, articles and affirmations to inspire them to live life to the fullest and of course, coupons to remind them of work-life balance.

Good news!!!
You can also order on line: Belle de Jour Products

Let me show you what's inside the Belle de Jour Power Planner 2013. :)

The Weekly Layout Feature:

This feature will help you plan and mange your weekly activities specifically by day. We’ve provided special boxes for your little personal errands, things to follow-up on, most important tasks, random thoughts, personal lists and weekly affirmations. We’ve also printed some of the BDJ Girls’ personal affirmations on why they are remarkable to keep you inspired throughout the week.

The Monthly Tools:

The monthly tools section of the planner gives you an over view of the whole month. We’ve included spaces for your monthly treats, work-related rocks, personal goals, important events, gratitude lists and good deeds. With this layout, you can easily jot down parties, events and birthdays so you won’t forget to RSVP.

This one excites me! The Wardrobe Checklist! :)

Use this checklist to keep track of your old and new fashion pieces, so you can build a timeless wardrobe.

I also love the Dream Board/ Goal

Knowing concretely what you want for yourself is one of the few steps to reach your goal. With everything moving fast as lightning it’s easy to lose track of what’s most important to us. Remember—that which matters the most should never give way to that which matters the least. Use these pages to keep focus and keep your life on track

On the other hand, planning your dream vacation is a bit stressful. Let your BDJ help you with that.

Planning ahead of time is needed in order to have a successful vacation. Use this planner to organize the things you need to do before the dreamed vacation.

Setting an effective health and fitness plan will get you from where you are to where you want to be. Use the workout plan to schedule your exercise

Check out this year’s amazing coupons included in your BDJ Planner!

Throughout the week, we encounter new ideas, websites, proposals, etc. This section is for these new discoveries that you may want to go back to when you’re chilling out at home, relaxing. Who knows this could be your next big thing? For some, planning and categorizing what to give to whom help keep the budget manageable, after all what’s important is not the value but the thought behind it.

BDJ Planner’s most popular feature – well you know what this is. Something to bring along when you visit the gyne.
This is also very helpful especially to those who are experiencing an irregular monthly period.

Cash Flow & Bills Tracker:
Know your monthly bills. Budget your hard-earned money and keep track of your monthly expenses, shopping splurges included. We’ve added the cash flow tracker to help you see in a page your savings, your target savings, cash source or income and the main bulk of your expenses. Do note that you should tally your bill total from the bills tracker and input it on your cash flow tracker for non-bill items to be included. This way you realize where your money is going.

Thank you for reading!

Promise Yourself

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:14:00 -0700

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
― Christian D. Larson, Your Forces and How to Use Them

Blazer Voilà

Hey Lovelies,

How's everyone? I would just like to share my outfit at work.

Due to the hectic lifestyles that we are all leading these days, I believe that in the future more fashion will be focused on two-in-one versatile outfits that can be altered to suit different occasions.

This dress may look familiar because I wore it once during my sister's birthday last year. lol

All I need to do is to add something to make it look a little bit corporate, how about a black blazer? Voilà!!!

Dress: F21

*1) Must be at the time you have sent your application. For example: Today, July 8, 2012 your age is 29 but you will be 30 before the go see on October 2012. IT'S OKAY. As long as you are within that age range 18-29 when you have submitted your application, IT'S OKAY.

In another example, you are 17 today (July 8, 2012) and you will only turn 18 years of age after the GO-SEE on October 2012 (ex your birthday is on November 2012 and so forth), unfortunately you will have to wait for next year.

*5) A lot of your girls are asking if we accept models OUTSIDE OF METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES. Yes we do. As long as your comfortable travelling to MANILA for the go-see and (if chosen) for the shoots on your own, we are okay.

Those who have passed their COMPLETE AND CORRECT model applications before this UPDATED REQUIREMENTS is posted no longer need to pass another application. Not unless, you find your application to have been done wrong.

OTHER FAQ'S:

1. This go-see is for the ERZULLIE RESORT 2013 collection. It's for the FASHION LINE ALONE. We are not a modelling agency (JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR). For the plus size model go-see we may get 1-2 models or none depending on how the go-see turns out.

This also means that YOU WILL BE MODELLING CLOTHES AND THERE WILL BE CLOTHES ON YOU.

2. This plus size model go see is DIFFERENT from the search for the NEXT ERZULLIE ICON. Erzullie Icon's screening process is different than models.

3. It's a plus if you are a natural supporter of the brand or if you have bought and worn Erzullie before.

4. After the deadline, the fashion line will release INVITES via the OFFICIAL EMAIL OF ERZULLIE (erzullie@yahoo.com) ONLY to all the TOP 50 models accepted. The models must confirm their slot on a given deadline (to be stated in the invite). Only then will they be given instructions on the process of the plus size model go-see.

5. To those who have sent their applications last year 2011 and still want to join this year, OF COURSE YOU CAN. You just have to submit the requirements above again. WE DO NOT KEEP YOUR PORTFOLIO AND INFO WITH US FOR YOUR OWN PRIVACY AND PROTECTION FROM OUR END.

6. ONLY APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE FULLY FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS will be entertained to be fair to the rest that did follow the instructions.

* Jhaki's 29th: Room & Closet Cleaning Day*

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 08:39:00 -0700

Hi Lovelies,
I missed everyone! I've been busy for the last couple of months because of my husband's homecoming plus work errands.
Last July 4 was my 29th Birthday!
On the other hand, I already celebrated my birthday in advance on our Wedding Anniversary with family and closest friends.
However, instead of throwing another party I decided to clean my room and invited my best friends after wards. You might say it's boring, but it was one of the happiest and most relaxing birthday I ever had. I cooked some snacks and dinner for them.
Check out our photos! ^^

My room is a place for me to get away from all of the daily ruckus. I made sure I made it a place that inspires me constantly and motivates me to step outside of my comfort zone when it comes to fashion.

I come here to rest, relax, blog, and get ready for my day.

Since my husband is working overseas, I have the privilege to designed and organized our room the way I want. :)

Here's my shoe closet

Book and file shelves

My portraits

Our wedding day portrait

Here are some tips to clean and organize your own room:
Be Motivated

Put on an album that you enjoy singing or dancing along with.

Open all of your curtains or blinds and, if you would like to, the windows themselves to let in some light and some fresh air.

Sweep out everything from under the bed and dressers.

Gather the trash and throw it away

Put everything in your room that you need to put away in a big pile on your bed.

Organize any dresser drawers.

Fold or hang your clean clothes, while throwing the dirty ones in the laundry pile.

Attack the pile. Put everything in its place

Time for the bed. Strip it bare.

Clean! Brush all dust and cobwebs off the ceiling and floor corners.

Now take a break.

Stack your books and magazines neatly, even those on the floor.

Straighten or organize anything else that needs attention.

Mop or vacuum the floor, if you haven't already.

Spray some air freshener

Reward yourself when you're done with something you enjoy.

Relax in your clean room.

Here's my 29th Birthday Celebration :)

Thank you so much for viewing!

* Golden Grains *

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 8 Jun 2012 19:43:00 -0700

Last week, we had an amazing family road trip around Nueva Ecija. Our province is definitely known as the Rice Granary of our country.
What I marvel was during post harvest season it was so nice to see bunch of dried raw rice leaves in the rice field, you can only see this on Farmville or barn yards.

On the other hand, the beautiful marshes, very quiet, away from the pollution and noise of the City.
I love the golden yellow rice fields in the lowlands, its rolling hills in monochromatic hues of green and blue.

Nueva Ecija is the largest province in Central Luzon. Endowed with naturally rich soil, agriculture has become the main industry of the Novo Ecijanos, and crops such as rice, onions, corn, vegetables and sugarcane are produced in marketable quantities. The province is acknowledged as the biggest rice producer of Central Luzon and as the main rice-growing province of the Philippines, earning its title, the “Rice Granary of the Philippines.

An interview: My first LOVE plus size brand ERZULLIE

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 31 May 2012 20:10:00 -0700

An interview: My first LOVE plus size brand ERZULLIE***

Hey Lovelies,

I'm so excited about this interview, of course by my first love Plus size brand Erzullie.

Although this is already my second time, I'm always happy and proud to be part of their team.

Thank you so much Erzullie for all the support and love!

Kindly check their website for my interview and updates about their brand:

http://erzullie.blogspot.com/2012/05/plus-size-model-jhaki-david-interview.html

Meanwhile, here's a copy of their interview:

Jhaki (David-Calanoc), just like Khris (Guarin), has inspired a lot of plus size women and a lot of new Erzulliestas came out because of them. I love her style because whatever it is, you know --- IT'S JHAKI. --- Aries De Guzman, on why Jhaki David became a model again for Resort 2012

1. Name:

Jhaki David-Calanoc

2. Occupation:

Sr.Account Executive / Business Unit Head

3. Before you became an icon, what was your journey as a plus size woman? What was the meaning of being ‘plus size’ to you? Why?

I was always on the chubby side since I was a little girl. I also went through the bullying stage from others and being insecure of being fat plus I also suffered from anorexia nervosa and iron deficiency anemia during my teens.

Luckily, I am blessed with a partner, a family and best friends that believes in me and supports my dreams, they are the ultimate source of both inspiration and confidence. And as my perspective grows I decided to accept myself and embrace my curves.

Instead of letting them put a good spirit down, I look at the brighter side of things with the help of positive attitude.

I love feeling good, taking care of myself and wearing what I want.

On the other hand, being a “Plus Size” is also a privilege. I am just one of the Plus Size women out there who wants to inspire others and who seek changes when it comes to beauty and fashion world. But I didn’t know how, until I was chosen as one of the Erzullie Icons.

4. Before you were an Icon, were you already able to come into terms with your body? If yes, how did you come about accepting yourself as plus size?

Before being part of Erzullie as an Icon, I already accepted and love myself the way I was created by God.
However, there are still questions in my mind. Like, why I have slow metabolism? Why I’m not skinny? Why I’m not long legged? And so on and so forth.

Later on, I realized that I was born this way for a reason. I was destined to inspire other women who are also facing the same issue with their body.

5. What triggered you to accept yourself as a plus size woman? Why?

I decided to look at the bright side of being a plus size. Instead of comparing myself to others especially when it comes to body measurements, I bear in my mind that diversity is beautiful and all we need to do is to embrace and accept our uniqueness.

Through Erzullie, I discover a lot in the Plus Size world. I met the most beautiful, kind and talented plus size people. Erzullie opened my eyes to accept my imperfections and to be contented plus appreciate more what I have.

6. As an Erzullie Icon, you did some fashion projects, what was your most favorite and memorable? Why?

I had numerous favorite and memorable moments with Erzullie as a brand and also with the people behind it. So far, my top favorite was The Erzullie and Empresario Fashion Show. It was my first runway walk. I love it!

7. How did being an Erzullie Icon, in general, change you as a plus size woman? Did it enrich you or you just feel the same about it? How so and why?

Erzullie developed my skills professionally and enhanced my personal relationship with other people.

8. During your iconship, you have met other people who are also part of the plus size community from regular customers to people actually working on the field of the plus size fashion industry, did that change your perception of what plus size is? How and why?

I always admire and always will respect the plus size people. I was amazed to found out that there are many plus size women out there, just like me.

9. To you then, what is plus size? Is it about measurement or outlook? Elaborate

Being a Plus Size is more than just our body measurements. It’s more of the way we see it and our attitudes towards being a plus size. If you are confident that you are sexy and beautiful, then everyone will agree.

10. What is your message to the plus size community, in general? What do you think is the most important thing that they should know about how they should handle their body right now?

Perfection isn't fixed and diversity is beautiful. Keep in mind that everyone is unique and all of us still have room for improvements.

I believe that God blessed me with a full figured body and large structured bones for a reason and that's my inspiration to love myself.

I looked at the physical differences on a broader spectrum, that sizes must not limit you from reaching the dream and it doesn't make you any less to anybody. Keep your spirit up, be kind to others, accept and love yourself.

Thank you for reading!

* Peacock Messy Bun*

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 23 May 2012 18:42:00 -0700

Hey Lovelies,
Summer season is definitely the hottest time here in our country, that is why messy bun is the trendiest hairstyle. I always do a messy bun but this time I tried a peacock style. It is a combination of crown and pony tail bun.
It is not as messy as the traditional one.
On the other hand, there are different kinds of bun like classic, tall, knot, double, crown, coiled, updo, punk, floral and tendril bun.
You can also create your own style, like military and ballerina bun.

Hey Lovelies,

We decided to throw a Spa Party at the most relaxing wellness spa in the City of Cabanatuan!
It was superb! Although I regularly pamper my self at Vimara Wellness Spa, I just can't get enough of their relaxing services. That is why instead of our usual get together, we had our girlfriends day at Vimara. They enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and rejuvenated with the services.

To all the spanatics out there, take advantage of Vimara's Anniversary promo.

My gorgeous girlfriends!
Jaydee, Bhevs, Vina & Maricel.

Meet one of my favorite closet staples-- the floral dress!

The floral print of pink and green makes a big statement. Floral is really "in" this spring/summer season. I love pairing it with wedges to an effortless vibe while still looking chic.

Floral head piece: Apostrophe'
Wedges: Janilyn

Are you Cute, Pretty, Beautiful,Sexy or Hot?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 9 Apr 2012 19:02:00 -0700

Hey Lovelies,

How would like to be called?

Many people use these five different terms to compliment women ,some will call you Cute,Pretty,Beautiful,Sexy or even a Hottie.

And more often than not, some people use one or more of these words in the wrong context. The purpose of this blog is to distinguish the real difference between all of them.

1. Cute: ( youthfulness & baby face )

Deals with the face, yet often the mannerisms/behaviour that come with the female. If a girl is described as cute, she is usually younger or has quality about her that exudes innocence and/or playfulness. Cuties don’t necessarily have to be pretty and sometimes they’re not, but it isn’t supposed to be a bad thing. Although, “cute” sometimes implies naïvety or youthfulness which certain females may find offensive.
e.g. Selena Gomez is cute due to the fact that she has a baby face and

Leighton Meester with her cute sense of style.

2. Pretty: (attractive facial features)
Only concerns the face. It does not have anything to do with the body or its actions. Obviously, prettiness is evident through one’s facial features.
i.e. Drew Barrymore and Kate Winslet are undeniably pretty with their small straight nose, luscious lips and eyes.

3. Beautiful:attractive face and pleasing personality
What differentiates being beautiful to being pretty is the fact that prettiness only acknowledges the outer appearance. Someone who is beautiful not only has an attractive face, but also a beautiful personality.
i.e. Angelina Jollie is a great example of this; she’s not only beautiful, but also philanthropic.

4. Sexy: (attractive qualities through actions and movements of body.)
Often confused with Hot; however, while the terms are extremely similar it is different in the sense that it is like the quality Cute where it deals with the actions/movements of the body, not just the outward appearance.
e.g. Beyoncé & Jennifer Lopez are sexy from the way they dances and moves.

5. Hot: (strong sex appeal & )
Describes the body as a whole. Predominantly used to define the appeal of one’s bodily appearance and doesn’t necessarily have to concern the face. This term is more likely used on more mature, developed ladies.
e.g. Kim Kardashian is hot because of her hourglass figure.

On a side note, many girls are able to possess two or even all five of these qualities, depending on the beholder’s perspective. And, of course, from these four main terms it can be branched out to words like lovely, gorgeous, stunning.. but different people will have different interpretations.

Thank you everyone!

Make Over Me Project: Jaydee

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 8 Apr 2012 08:55:00 -0700

Hey Lovelies,

My next make over project is my own biological sister, Jaydee.

A beautiful sister inside and out, supportive, caring, modest, loving and quiet type of person.

She's also one of my loyal best of friends.

However, instead of beauty and fashion she loves cooking and travelling.

That's why I decided to give her a treat on my 1st Blog Anniversary.

Get to know her more with my interview! :)

What can u say about Jhaki, the blog owner of barbiejhaki.blogspot.com and what can you say about her up close and personal?
~ Ate Jhaki is pretty on the inside and out. Her blog is very helpful. This blog will consist of words & images that show the true beauty of purely Filipina.

What can u say about this blog give away and the whole day of activities?~ The shoot seemed to go so quickly and I enjoyed myself thoroughly! Thank you to my sister (ate jhaki) who chose me as one of her lucky winners. I would like to thank everyone who sponsored her barbiejhaki.blogspot.com 1st year blog anniversary:
• candy and bunso salon for hair & make-up~
“My hairstyle before was plain and simple-now it looks more alive. I like how the style added life to my hair. My eyebrows look so much better.”
• fashion warehouse for my lovely dress~
“Their fabrics always look interesting, fun and unique. For the style, fit and comfort, their prices are quite reasonable.”
• heartworks for a whole photo shoot~
“The whole photo shoot experienced has been great from beginning to end. I felt really comfortable and positively spoilt. When it came to the actual shoot I really felt like a star for those few hours, having check tiny details, move my hair, re-do my makeup and so on. The time just flew by and when I look back or look at the pictures I remember feeling sexy, glamorous and above all free to express how I wanted to look. What amazes me most is how the pictures captured, that obviously isn’t the everyday me but somehow is exactly me.”
• loriels for my facial scrub and massage~
“A delightful and relaxing facial treatment after the photoshoot and makeover. Loriels help me learn to keep my face calm and relaxed even when I feel tired.”

What can you say about other winners and participants?~ Thank you so much to Ate Jhaki, Ate Gelyn, Janelle and Ate Princess. I completely enjoyed pretty much everything about the whole day makeover and photo shoot.
You are a real pleasure to work with. I was completely comfortable and very happy all day. I loved being in front of the lens. I was surprised quite how much I enjoyed it all.

During the shoot, what were the obstacles that you have faced? How did you overcome them?
~ I’m felt so nervous and really don’t know what to do. The only trouble is how I will I ever top this? After getting dressed and retouched, I just told to myself I can do this. And when the photo shoot started, I felt so comfortable in their presence. I see no way of ever even getting equal let alone exceeding what you have done for me

What is your most unforgettable moment and the best experience about this make over give away? Why
~ It can be scary to make a change to your appearance or try out a new look, but the makeovers, giveaways, facial scrub & massage and a whole photo shoot was a perfect memento of my magical experience day. What amazes me most is how the pictures captured, that obviously isn’t the everyday me but somehow is exactly me. I got home later that day and have to say, I slept well that night. Outstanding stuff, I couldn’t wait to see the end result on what I had already deemed as perfect.

How did this event help you as a woman?
~ In this, I recognize the beauty of every woman’s unique soul and legacy.

What can you say to other women out there regarding women empowerment and body acceptance?
~ Not by anybody else’s expectations…not by societal standards, but by what makes you truly happy…physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We know what it’s like to be a woman in this day and age, and we are devoted in giving you the support you need to have the body and life you want…YOUR way.

Thank you lovely sister and thank you everyone for reading!

xoxo
