White's Hot: Goddess Gone Grunge

Hello Charmed Girls!

    I used to be fond of Greek Mythology, and with that I adore Pallas Athena than any other deities. Then why "thelovedeity" is Charmed's URL? Aphrodite's power of love can't be matched though. Remember the Judgment of Paris? And I used to name this blog "Goddesses' Haven" but then I changed it to "Charmed" but I just left the URL behind.

     My outfit that day is an Athena-inspired modern goddess outfit.  That day I had to meet up with my bestfriend Leika, who'll be celebrating her debut on Monday and my co-host for that night, Rob, who also took these pictures of me! Thanks Rob! We had a short briefing on how we will do the hosting for her debut and also to build connection with my co-host that I've just seen for the first time! It's kinda unexpected, so I public commuted from Quezon City to Pasig and vice versa  in that very day! And imagine the time, almost 2pm! The sun is still on it's peak of blazing!
  

So when I met Leika, she already knew that I've asked Rob a favor beforehand about this photo shoot of me. And I told her everything, then she said "Mainit nga, buti na lang naka-puti ka." (Luckily, you are wearing white).
  

Yes, I wore WHITE! Imagine taking the risk, it would have stained (remember I commuted!). But for my theme, Goddess Gone Grunge, I just stuck with it. Anyway, it still looked fresh and fab even under the sun!

   When we picture out a Greek Goddess, more or less we have the same idea about their clothes;white and gold, flowy, with chains, made of velvet cloth; so I used that idea to live up a modern-goddess grunge outfit.

  

The white lousy blouse has a battle suit design pleats in the chest part (like Athena's).
And the sheer skirt is also pleated with gold floral embroidery, which really screams my theme very well.  Then I put a brown belt for more "action".  And we know that they wear strappy sandals for their footwear, especially those Spartans. Luckily, I have a brown wedge heels to match! And the buckles are so exposed! Whee! I feel so Grecian! And scruffy!
  

   For the accessories, I incorporated BRAIDS and CHAIN designs to my look, and almost all of them are made by me. Yes! I MADE THE ACCESSORIES! The earrings and the chain-and-satin cord braided bracelet. The grunge necklace is originally "grunge". I mean only the braided chains it were, but to add some color and fun, I linked the petal necklace that I bought from UP Cloth. Tech bazaar. So this is the "grunge" part because I wanted to add attitude to the outfit, not the usual floral and flowing. While in the ring is where I keep my power! Haha XD
  

The grunge necklace, the earrings and Chocolate Mousse chain bracelet will be released soon in my new online shop, Miss Bella Mode.  Check out my FB page.

  I had proven myself how my white outfit outshined. Especially I'm wearing gold/bright chained pieces, it really stood out! While I was walking through the mall, along the streets or even in the PUVs, I'm getting strange stares and comments. One man even told me, "Ate, magpayong ka! Mainit, maganda pa naman 'yang damit mo!". It was really shining and white is so feminine! And I gave dignity to my Greek Goddess-ramped-the-streets-of-Metro inspiration! Haha :D

Let’s join Chef Lau’s Dinner Party!

   Chef Rolando Laudico, poplarly known as Chef Lau, celebrity chef and owner of Bistro Filipino together with Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief (CSPR) is throwing a dinner party!! It's a sensitivity pain-free party and here he will  share and celebrate his success over tooth-sensitivity with Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief.

This dinner party is really exclusive! I want to get in! Why? Not just because of blogging rights (get it? bragging rights? haha! ) . Aside from the fact that I'll have a chance to taste Chef Lau's dishes (which I'm excited to do! Since I'm watching Junior Master Chef and I already know his cooking styles and ingenuity) , I also want to hear a "Chef's tale"  about tooth sensitivity. Aren't you curious like me? Imagine, like when you are a judge for a cooking show, you've got to taste a lot! Whether it's a hot soup or a freezing (yummy) ice cream! And oh, not to mention an ice-cold water! So see? Tooth sensitivity can be a hindrance to judging. Good thing there's Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief for Chef Lau!

   My personal experience is way back when I was still in grade school. My aunt used to sell gallons of rejected ice creams (those that melted and the sugar had settled). Whenever my father goes to their place, he brings home not one, not two, but 4-6 different flavors of ice cream gallons !!! That time I would eat ice cream for dessert and merienda non-stop! And then I just felt tooth-sensitivity or much know as "pangingilo"  in my two front teeth. Since I can't stop eating ice cream (if you were me, I know you can't too! ), my parents recommend me to use a sensitive relief toothpaste that can ease my problem.

  Until know, I love to drink brewed tea and frappe and I got to enjoy these treats without worrying about pain! Try brushing using Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief before eating!

"Tooth sensitivity is a common name for Dentine Hypersensitivity. In Filipino, it is referred to as “pangingilo.” When a hot, cold, sweet or very acidic food or drink causes a short, sharp discomfort on your teeth, then you may have sensitive teeth. 

If you’re suffering from tooth sensitivity, try the latest breakthrough from Colgate® -- Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief® Toothpaste! It provides Instant* Relief and Lasting Protection against tooth sensitivity. 

Simply massage a small amount on the sensitive tooth for 1 minute and enjoy Instant relief to sensitive teeth. With regular, twice daily use, it builds a lasting barrier that acts like a protective seal against sensitivity. "
