Things I Love Holidays Edition, 2015

December 25, 2015/ Tara Cabullo

Merry Christmas from the other side of the world!

It's finally Christmas here in the East Coast -- and the only reason I feel impatient is because everybody in the Philippines have long celebrated it before I did, so that's a first. I'm with MY family for 2015 Christmas! My wishes for this year came true! :)

Nothing beats Christmas in the Philippines, this much I know :D But I am very happy, thank you Jesus for sharing your birthday with us. Thank you :)

Better than Basic is today's theme so I'm feeling rather extra with this pink wall and my floral @mango dress + @carelineph's Semi Sweet Liquid Lipstick. I haven't been basic in a long time and that makes me giddy in a weird way ⭐️ Special thanks to @thebeautyjunkee for my photo 💕

That everyday glow is within reach with @happyskin_ph Bridal Collection, most especially their newest highlighter pen called Yes I Dew in Pearl (PHP 899 online and in @beautybarph). Here I'm wearing their eyebrow pen, an eyeshadow from the Mickey See palette, the new Get Cheeky With Me Hydrating Palette Blush in Blushing Bride and the highlighter and Express Gel in Queen of His Heart. I'm also wearing @jewelmer South Sea pearls which are the most beautiful golden pearls ✨ Hair by @hdmakeupbyjoycyoung and makeup by @eileenmaemua. Thank you for my portrait @patdy11 and @happyskin_ph. Congratulations @rissamananquil @jygutierrez @iyaislarissa for a successful campaign launch! ⭐️ #HappySkinGetThatGlow #happyskinPH #PHcosmetics #GirlGotGlow

Scenes from today's #GlobeLife: huddle at the steps of #TGT with @thebipolartraveler @carmeloyola and @maxiiieee ala Gossip Girl 😌 Also, my lunch of Okonomiyaki Salad from next door's @sushinoriph is soooooo good 💕

Happy Tuesday! 🍃

I've been craving for kombucha ever since I've had it everyday in NH. It's basically fizzy fermented tea which is also a probiotic and is super good for the body 🍃 Finally found one at @healthyoptionsph {thanks @helgatheweber for the tip!} and now enjoying it after my meal. I'm also watching GOT Ep 5 so that's my Monday treat. I do need a cheaper alternative soon! 😌 If you know where to find kombucha, please let me know 🍃

Monday Selfie because I wanna share my @drunkelephantskincare progress: I barely applied foundation and I only applied a dab of @benefitph airbrush concealer on my eye area. My blush from @bobbibrownph is a tiny pat of cream and a hint of highlight ✨I'm so happy how my skin is turning out the past two weeks I've been religiously using the system. I'm so excited to start Baby Facial in two weeks! 🌸 Special shoutout to my DE support system: @emsomerachua and @candicelim 💕

Today we did our beauty portraits with the @happyskin_ph Glam (should I say Glow) Team for #HappySkinGetThatGlow. It was the best way to start experiencing the new bridal collection featuring bride to be Coleen Garcia. All our shots were taken by @patdy11, only Philippines' premiere wedding photographer 😍 We were adorned by the South Sea Pearls of @jewelmer today, too! 😍

Mood: "Is it the weekend yet?"
Also, hope you're all safe after that earthquake! 🐶🌮 #babybutters #shihtzu #puppiesofinstagram

$Life hack #1: Always bring your favorite beverage in your water bottle -- mine is papaya smoothie in my @kleankanteen_ph and a delivery of @justcoco_manila {bottle of which is recyclable!}. It keeps me hydrated all day and I'm not bored with just water. 🌴💦 #coconutjuice #kleankanteen #ecofriendly$

Late into the 👟 game but being a little bit sportier than before has turned me into a sneaker person, primarily because my feet likes moving better in sneaks! How I've managed to be in heels and narrow uncomfortable shoes for most of my life is a skill I can kinda let go for now. Well, I think it was mostly because comfy shoes are not very sexy for the most part. Now that athleisure is fast becoming an everyday thing, I'm happily beginning to throw sneakers into my daily clothing options. I think I made up for my sneaker scarcity by hauling 5 pairs in the past month {please pray for me haha} 😂 That's it for now I suppose. Today's pair is a pair I fell in love immediately: @adidasph Swift Run in Grey and Pink Stripes. It had my signature color but didn't have to be overtly girly. I don't run but I find that running shoes are the prettiest and training ones being the unsexy ha ha 😂 I got this at Adidas BHS! ⠀
