Bio Sculpt at Belo for Toned Thighs

At the Belo Podium Open House last night, guests were given the chance to try a buffet of treatments for the face and body. I chose the Bio Sculpt to try and make my thighs smaller or toned.


There is no prep time for the Bio Sculpt, all I had to do was lie down and the staff connected the wires to my thighs. I was nervous on what to expect but it wasn't painful at all, just a bit of gulat/surprising factor. Read more after the jump.


The wires send some sort of medium frequencies to the area, making it vibrate or more like electrocuted in a good way. I could feel the electrons or frequency like millions of ants crawling through my thighs and squeezing my muscles.

Each session would last 30 minutes and to get noticeable results, 15 sessions are needed at around Php 1,500 each. The Bio Sculpt is for toning and is best for people who go to the gym with less fat. For fat burning and skin tightening, you can try the Tenor or the Lipo Lite.


Outfit for the day was a dress I got at fabfinds.multiply.com, I love the geometric lines.

Balloon Shirt Dress + Beaded Necklace

If you've noticed how the previous photos in Style and Relax have no faces, it's because I originally planned to maintain this blog faceless and nameless. At a networking event, I realized how it would be tough to market and promote a blog if I continue doing so - I mean, headless or blurry faced.

If you don't know yet, here's me and my recycled outfit at the networking night :)

Its a balloon shirt dress with a gartered seam at the bottom. It crunches the fabric, hence the balloon effect. In a rush, the safest bottom to wear it with was black leggings or tights.

I threw in an old beaded necklace with earthy colors for the outfit to have a new look. Luckily, it worked! Without the necklace, the outfit would look too plain or like a Peter Pan costume!

If you have an old outfit, try reinventing it with accessories and you'll save both on time and money.

Bag Organizer - Switch Bags in Seconds!

I have so much unused bags that rot in the closet, I'm lazy to transfer my stuff from one bag to the next. Hence, I end up just using one bag all the time.

Bag organizers are not new but I just discovered that they are available now in department stores. You don't need to order them in multiply or wait for a tiangge or bazaar to spot them.




I remember seeing them once in a bazaar and the price was a hefty P500 for one bag organizer. This one, I saw at SM department store for only P180.00, it looks quiet a bit different from the usual bag organizers that are foldable. This organizer is like a bag that you put inside a bag. There are multiple pockets or sections so you don't have to reach all over your bag for your lipstick or mobile phone. I hate it when things mysteriously disappear inside my bag, only to know they are just inside tucked in one dark corner of the bag. Whew.

Also, I guess bag organizers are good for your bag's health since it would protect the real bag from scratches or spills from powder, perfume, etc. Good eh?

The only thing I don't like about it are the handles, maybe it's better to cut them up as I would imagine they might stick out of the real bag.

Caraderme Clinic

It doesn't hurt to become beautiful but sometimes, stress takes it toll on us and overtime work creates skin damage you wouldn't have imagined! Finding a great dermatologist who can make miracles happen that won't wipe out your wallet is hard. Well, I suggest that you try Dra. Gatmaytan of Caraderme Clinic.

Caraderme Clinic at Makati

The first time I heard of Dra. Gatmaytan and her Caraderme clinic was in GirlTalk forum. A lot of women are raving on how Dra. Gatmaytan improved their skin, mostly their backs that have suffered from acne.

Some creams from Caraderme, including the Body Cream which should be stored inside the refrigerator to keep them cold.

Who wouldn't rejoice at the fact that after 4 weeks, you'll get your own sexy back that you can show off on the beach? I myself have tried it and it's like a miracle.

Dra. Gatmaytan also offers other services such as Diamond Peels, Chemical Peels, Face Cleaning, and everything else for a beautiful new you.

Right now, I am trying her face treatment that makes your face red and cause peeling for about 2 weeks. Caraderme has a website at Caraderme.com the complete list of services and prices are published here, together with their contact details. In Caraderme, you don't have to fall in line or wait for hours, you have to call for an appointment and come on time.

How to Use Bendy Rollers and Curlers

I have been looking for these bendy rollers, also known as bendy curlers. Luckily, I found them in Watsons as SM Mall of Asia for around Php 200 +. It was my first time to use them and here's how to use bendy rollers to achieve lovely curls overnight!


Step 1: Take the bendy rollers or curlers out of the box. Section your hair into two. Work on one side first. If you want to achieve large and big curls, then roll a thick part of your hair into one bendy curler. You can achieve big curls if you will use 4-5 bendy rollers on each side of your hair.

For smaller and tighter curls, roll hair thinly on each bendy. You can use 6 bendy rollers on each side of your hair.

Step 2: To secure the bendy rollers, bend their tips upward. Make the ends meet so that your hair won't fall or the rollers won't become loose. The tighter you secure them the better. Leave them on as you sleep or for approximately 6 hours.

If you are in a rush, blow dry your hair while they are curled into bendy rollers. Do not concentrate the blow drier on the rollers, just ensure that your hair is absolutely dry.



Step 3: Remove the rollers by unbending the ends, pull them out slowly. Tada! You can now enjoy your instant curls!

Practice makes perfect, you can also try to part your hair on the side and not in the middle. To make curls last, blow dry them. NEVER comb your hair, just use your fingers to toss and style them.

That Chocolate Thing at Bubba Gump

Look at this, it's extreme chocolate pleasure in a jar. This is the latest addition to the dessert line of Bubba Gump!

It looks like a guilt-full of dessert and the styling is just very tempting.

The jar is about to explode with the creaminess of vanilla icecream and whipped cream on top, the bottom is malten hot chocolate, just like the lava inside a volcano!

"That Chocolate Thing" is perfect when you just have to reward yourself with extreme chocolaty pleasure. Taste and relax with this dessert at Bubba Gump Trinoma or Greenbelt.

Best to enjoy by yourself, you know you deserve the full jar, don't you?

Forrest Gump at Bubba Gump

I asked him, "How would you describe your style Forrest?"
He said, "One word, Nerdy!"

Here is Forrest, striking a fashion pose for Style and Relax.

This is Steve Weber, we met at Bubba Gump Trinoma and he is the official Forrest Gump speaker/ impersonator that travels the world as Forrest Gump.

His coat is from his "momma", plaid print polo "his favorite", American flag socks, and Nike rubber shoes, not to forget his trunk/ vintage suitcase and box of chocolate - pretty funky Mr. Gump.

Just Arrived - Nine West Element 9 Bags

Nine West bagged me at first sight when I saw the Element 9's on their window. Above are some of the items in the collection, the sales staff said they just arrived.

The bags are made of jacquard fabric which gives them the sophisticated but chic look.

Which Nine West bag do you like? I like the medium shopper which is roomy but not too big. It also has inside pockets for small items like mobile phones, accessories, or wallets.
