We all know that one of the Most Important person in our lives is our own Father. They are always provide and prove that their are his son's first hero and daughter's first love. A responsible and loving dads are always by our side.

Mr. JJ Yulo, arranged a little dinner with some hardworking Dads you may know. It is a pre-Father's Day treat at Providore and Todd English at SM Aura. The group of Dads celebrated and have a little talk while enjoying a great Dinner and drinks. As per Mr. JJ Yulo " The guest list was as diverse as it gets, with dads from all sorts of backgrounds and one unifying factor: all these fine men tried their best to be exemplary fathers too. And they sure needed a break!"

Their first stop is at Providore Backyard, it is located at the rear of Raintree Group's Providore. A small place where you can enjoy cocktails and beers. The guest came in one by one. Some of the guests are, JJ Yulo known as @nekkidchef, Kalel Chan, Aids Tecson, Gabe Mercado, Him Uy de Baron, TJ Parpan, Paolo Abrera, Patrick Roa. Cocktails and Cozy outdoor place are just a perfect combination of friends to hangout. I'm sure that the guest enjoyed it! According to Mr. JJ Yulo "Cool tunes wafting from the speakers, cold Sapporo or San Miguel, nachos and guacamole will always do the trick – a few glasses and any amount of shyness magically vanished."

Todd English

 After a batch of drinks at Providore, the group was headed to just headed to Todd English Food Hall, it is a huge dining space with well-curated food stations. Todd English Food Hall, provide a private room for the guest dads where a sumptuous dinner was served. The guest dads have a chance to try out their new dishes.

Mr. JJ Yulo described there dinning experienced as "The food was, as expected, varied and delicious – and we even got to try some of their brand new items! Cold oysters to start the ball rolling, their solid new buffalo wings and Asian dumplings, a healthy-ish bacon filled spinach salad, excellent pastas (TE makes it fresh!) like their addictive new corn ravioli (a must, if you ask me), classic pizza flatbreads, a KILLER porkchop (this dinner’s sleeper hit!), garlicky clams and mussels, and a gigantic steak, all washed down with some red wine. It doesn't get manlier than that! And for dessert, a fun new deconstructed dessert --- dulce de leche apple pie. If you didn’t talk to anyone at the table because you were too busy stuffing your face, it would be perfectly understandable."

For me events like this is great way to show our gratitude and saying thank you to our Dad. Remember to always show how you love your Dad. It is not just a one day event, it should be everyday.

I always prefer waxing than plucking or threading, which is why I love that I discovered Hey Sugar, all natural and 100% sugar grooming options that is accessible to clients of all shapes and size. They use 100% naturally hypoallergenic sugar wax that minimizes side effects such as allergic reactions and chemical irritations caused by traditional wax.

Hop Inn Hotel : Why should we stay in a budget Friendly Hotel in Manila

3:58 AM

Millennials tends to travel alot and spend their rest day to go to different places. They invented word YOLO, which means "You only live once".  Everyone is hopping off from one exciting destination on their bucket list to the next. Here are some of my advice when traveling here in Manila and want to spend less without compromising your budget.


  1. First you need to take note of your destination ahead of time. It is better to research what you can do to the specif location that you are heading to. 
  2. Wait for any travel sale on any airlines to spend less.
  3. Try to find a affordable hotel that does not compromise you. I recommend Hop Inn Hotel, a 25- hotel strong Thailand- based chain not only guarantees guests the best locations in each city but also delivers 5-star quality cleanliness, comfort, convenience, and security that makes budget travelers go, “is this really a budget hotel?”
Let me tell more reason to love Hop Inn Hotel, and why more and more people choose to "hop into" Hop Inn!

  • They have FREE WIFI - Millennials can't live without any gadget especially social media networks. They keep their family updated thru posting online. a strong and fast Wi-Fi access means timely and ‘mandatory’ sharing of #TravelGrams, #OOTDs, and #YOLO posts. Hop Inn’s free in-room Wi-Fi service also helps guests prepare for and accomplish their work, research and plan their adventures of the day, and check up on friends and family back home.

  • A clean and spacious rooms, well relaxation at it's best! Saving on room costs doesn't mean compromising on cleanliness and comfort. Hop Inn ensures that guests check in to spotless rooms with crisp white sheets that invite absolute relaxation. With more than enough space to accommodate guests and their luggage plus additional bags from pasalubong shopping, Hop Inn rooms make you forget you’re staying at a budget hotel. The bright and clean bathrooms equipped with hairdryers and toiletries are equally spacious, too.
  • You don't have to worry about your car's parking because they do have free spacious parking for guests. Driving to Hop Inn have access to the hotel's spacious and secure parking, absolutely free! A sweet gift for Metro dwellers struggling with parking space and steep fees on the daily.
  • The Hotel is perfect for those who have relatives that are PWD, like my father. Yes, they can do travel even with their disabilities.The joys of travel are free for all to experience and Hop Inn strongly advocates this by ensuring all of its hotels open their doors to persons of all shapes and sizes and are equipped to cater to persons with disabilities and those that require special assistance throughout their stay.
  • Daily housekeeping & 24-hour front desk assistance with 24-hour security. joys of travel are free for all to experience and Hop Inn strongly advocates this by ensuring all of its hotels open their doors to persons of all shapes and sizes and are equipped to cater to persons with disabilities and those that require special assistance throughout their stay.

  • Nothing beats a hot and cold shower after a tiring day of traveling throughout the cities. Then relaxing on a comfortable bed. A warm, refreshing bath after a long day’s adventure in the city? Yes, please! All Hop Inn rooms come with hot and cold power showers so guests enjoy a calming prelude to a restful sleep in the hotel’s ultra-comfortable beds guests cannot stop raving about!

  •  Lastly, excellent value for money!  which what this blog is for, travelling without spending to much.Budget hotels often deliver exactly what they promise – a place with enough space for a bed to retire to after a long day and nothing more. While travelers can afford such accommodations with just loose change, more often than not they still find themselves shortchanged, especially on the comfort and security aspects. At Hop Inn Hotels, guests enjoy the very best of their money’s worth and more with rates as low as PHP1, 520 nett per room night. A very small cost for such big hospitality.
Hop Inn Hotel chain's steady growth across Thailand & here at the Philippines. There dedication to deliver its Four Pillar Promise to its guest - – Cleanliness, Convenience, Comfort, and Security. But like that exotic food crawl or that adrenaline- pumping theme park ride travelers scribble onto their long and detailed bucket lists, some things are best experienced in the flesh. So, hop into Hop Inn Hotels on your next trip and decide for yourself if it’s truly a #OneStopHop and #TravelGoals- worthy. 

For me it is a great Hotel to stay with my family. I'm excited to try out this hotel and experience it.For more information about Hop Inn Hotel, visit www.hopinnhotel.com and follow their social media pages at www.facebook.com/hopinnhotelphand @hopinnhotelph on Twitter and Instagram.

Mauve Aesthetics Purple Theme Medical Spa Services & Review

5:21 PM
mauve aesthetics

Skin care is the most important part of my daily rituals; but there are times that I am just so lazy to remove my blackheads and whiteheads also do wear some facial masks. Here comes to a point that I need to go to a clinic to see a doctor to ask what are the services that best fit for my skin. I will post every skin clinics that I've tried for you to pick which one is the best for your skin and your budget. So for today we going to review about Mauve Aesthetics & Medical Spa.

Before going to the Medical Spa you need to pre-schedule your visit or to make some appointment because they prefer clients who book for appointments. You can contact them thru their Facebook account Mauve Aesthetics or Instagram account Mauve Aesthetics. They do respond quickly, and they will give you their phone number which is 285-68-77 , you can call them for faster booking transaction. They answer all of my inquiries from instagram which is a good thing. 

Mauve Aesthetics


On the day of my visit, you can easily find the clinic which is located at Bayo Condotel Sct. Bayuran brgy South Triangle QC (nearABS-CBN). I came from GMA Network and just rode a tricycle to get to the place. Upon the entrance to the salon, I am deeply in-love with it because the them is Purple! Which is my favorite color! They interiors and design is so good and pleasing to the eyes. The staffs are accommodating and ask me what is my name to check if I already booked for an appointment. Ms. Margaret May Llavor,Founder/COO of Mauve Aesthetics and Medical Spa, show to me the different parts of their store and what they are offering. The hand me their price-list which I'll be posting below for you to see. 

The first floor of the clinic is where they do the nail services. There are lots of well designed chairs for the customers.

For the second floor, this is were the rooms are located. They do have single & couple room, great for couples or friends that want to be in a one room. The comfort room design is so cozy. 

patient's area

The procedure I got I think is Deep Cleansing Acne Special, because that I my acne is on bloom. I will post a video of my whole cleaning session below.


The Procedure


  • Cleansing of my face, which they use a foam cleanser face and massage it through. I like the massage part very much and I think that it helps clean up face. After cleansing they put facial mask to my face, "yung feeling na refreshing habang nilalagay sa face."
  • Sonopeel was the next procedure where there is a device that will run through your face while removing the dirt like black heads and white heads to your face.

  • Extraction of my pimples and other dirt that the Sonopeel device didn't removed. This part is the most painful one if you have large acne or even many pimples. So grab on some tissue to dub it to your eyes.
  • They clean up my face with a cotton pad, and put the protecting pads to my eye to get ready for the Blue light process, where a blue light will be treating the acne. It is pain free light that uses ultraviolet light that kills acne-causing bacteria.
  • The last two steps are important which is the Serum and SPF, which helped my face recover from all of the process. 
My overall experience in Mauve Aesthetics is good. If I will compare my experiences with the other clinics like Belo and Flawless. I love the whole experience from Mauve Aesthetics, the person who attended to my concern is approachable and answered all my questions. They are all well trained and knowledgeable on what they are doing. My facial was successful because my acne didn't come back. I have only one comment, I think they should improve on the cleansing of the face, because I noticed that my eyebrow makeup is still there and some of the procedure special the with the diamond peel machine is a little bit fast. Will I recommend this Clinic for my #DashingMomSquad? My answer is yes, they are budget friendly and good service. They are just a newly opened clinic but they have their own standards that makes each of the services unique from the other clinics.

So if you're thinking of visiting one of the Clinics, give it a try to visit Mauve Aesthetics. Don't forget to Like their facebook account Mauve Aesthetics and follow them on instagram Mauve Aesthetics to get the latest updates to their services. By the way, they also have this loyalty awards, like you need to register your number to be able to receive a points that correspond to your service.

Manilennials experience Munch Manila Food Park at SM Manila

12:15 AM
Munch Manila at SM Manila
Last June 4, I visited a unique food park that is located inside a Mall, Munch Manila food park is perfect for anyone looking to go on a quick, gastronomic adventure, a food park is a no-brainer choice. Armed with a variety of delicious, and affordable eats, along with instagrammable decor, it is not surprising to know that these little gems are a huge hit to Filipino foodies.


MunchManila at SM City Manila

It started last May 29 and will last up to June 12. SM City Manila created this food park for the "Manilennials" to experience the ultimate food park experience right within the mall with Much Manila. Participating Brands: Mad for Pizza, 8 Stbites, Buffalo's Wings 'n' Things, Farron Cafe, Lunchies Lemonaden, Candy Up Cotton Candy and Big J's Sausages.

Here is a video clip from SM City Manila Facebook page for a sneak peak



I remember during my college days I tend to spend a lot of time thinking where to eat at SM City Manila, well this event might be a savior for this coming first week of classes for the students near by. Whether that you're on-the-go foodie searching for a instagramable yet yummy food, a group of barkada spending their break time at the mall looking for a fun place to hangout Much Manila is a perfect spot for you!






Why you should try Munch Manila?

1. You can get the best food choice even you are in a rush. Squeezing a quick lunch in between classes or meetings?

Much Manila marries these two together - offering its customers quick, delicious bites that are also easy on the wallet.

It was a fun activities that I got to know my fellow attendees like @TsinoyFoodies @tavanching which was my tablemates.
