Christmas: How it Came To Be

Christmas: How it Came To Be

Arts, Beauty, Culture, Features, Mindanaoan Update, Society
Curious about the history of Christmas? The history of how Christmas came to be is pretty interesting, if you ask me. This article will shed light into the annual tradition we know as the Yuletide season. If you want to know more about Christmas, then read on. Basically Christmas is that one special day for Christians to come together to remember, commemorate, and celebrate the birth of their savior, Jesus Christ. Let’s just say it’s like a birthday, only, it’s the birthday of that special one who is mainly the reason why we are here in this world. As we consider it as a birthday of some sort, it is, of course, celebrated annually and can also easily be associated to events like the Nativity, which most Churches would re-enact during masses on the eve of the event; gift giving within fa...

After their successful WAGW CDO Style Ambassadors 2012 launch, What A Girl Wants then invited me to their Davao City launch (see the WAGW Davao invitation here).

Mindanaoan was invited to meet the What A Girl Wants (WAGW) CDO Young Ambassadors of Style 2012 last November 24, 2012 during the official launch of the WAGW Centrio Mall branch.

Yves Rocher is one of the new stores that opened at Centrio Mall Cagayan de Oro City and truth be told, from the outside, the store looks "sosyal" and the products seem to be very expensive.

Global beauty brand Etude House Philippines to open in Centrio Ayala Mall and SM City CDO

Beauty, Business, Cagayan de Oro City, Events, Fashion, Features, Mindanaoan Update, Shopping, Society, Style
It was in late 2010 when I first fell in love with Etude House products. I kept on hearing all about their BB Creams (blemish balm creams) so when I finally found an Etude House shop in Manila, I grabbed the chance to finally buy the Etude House BB Magic Cream. Since then, there was no turning back. Today, my makeup stash always includes a tube of Etude House BB Magic Cream - I even bring it along during my travels. It gives you flawless complexion and that "no makeup look." It's also very easy to put on and you only need a pea size amount for every use. The Etude House BB Cream is definitely a good investment. Fortunately for me and fellow Etude House fans, we don't need to travel far just to replenish our stash of Etude House goodies. Etude House Philippines will now have...
Shu Uemura Tsuya Skin launch in Cebu

Shu Uemura Tsuya Skin launch in Cebu

Beauty, Cebu City, Consumer, Events, Fashion, Features, Reviews, Shopping, Style
The thing about trying beauty products for the first time is that you really don't know for sure if they're good for your skin or not. Sometimes, relying on product descriptions may not be enough and may even be risky. Also, even if others give positive feedback about a product, you really can't be sure if you will have the same experience. However, if the manufacturer of the beauty products is Shu Uemura (which, truth be told, does not need any introduction) and if the products have SPF30, rhamnose (known for supporting cell regeneration) and promise better skin in just a few days, would you still have reservations? When I was in Cebu just a few days ago, I attended the launch of the Shu Uemura Tsuya Skin line. Tsuya means "ideal" in Japanese. The Shu Uemura Tsuya Skin line will hel...
