One of the most embarrassing things to admit is having dandruff. No one really talks about it, but it's one that almost all of us will experience at some point in our lives.
I hate to admit it but I've been struggling with itchy and flaky scalp since high school. I'm not a firm believer of TV advertisements but in the hopes of being treated, trust me, I've already tried several anti-dandruff shampoos, thinking it would be gone for good. The result, it got worse.
Perhaps because of experimenting with different shampoos? But really, the question still lies, can dandruff be treated?

Before anything else, I'd like you to know that this is long and very personal so I don't expect you to read the whole post but it would really mean a lot to me if you'll stick with me 'til the end.
Late last year, I made a huge decision which led me to where I am today—almost quarter life crisis. Yikes. I didn't regret it though I had a lot of what-ifs: what if I did not quit? What if I choose the other one? What if I didn't aspire to be part of something great? Or what I thought was something great. Would it all make a difference?
I called myself a fool for trying so hard to be what I want to be and fail at it. I put myself down because I thought, I wasn't good enough. My fear came back. My fear of taking chances, taking risks and taking every possibility in the world to make my dream come true. I blamed other people for that mistake. I was so in denial. And the most painful part of the situation is knowing that I had no one to blame but myself because it was my choice. I chose to be there. I chose to do that. It's all me.
And that didn't stop there. Instead of getting back to my usual grind, I STOPPED CREATING. I just focused on my job. It was okay and involves everyday adrenaline, but I got so comfortable that I didn't bother to read anything, write on my blog and even reply to emails that could possibly lead to great opportunities (I'm really sorry for that). I was a rebel against myself and it's really frustrating the hell out of me.
And whenever I try to get back to my usual grind and do the things I really like, something slaps me to stay away from them. No matter how hard I try to stand up, something is pulling me down. Then one sunny afternoon, I read a newsletter from my email. It says all the things I was feeling since my project went down. It hits me so hard that it made me want to do crazy stuff again.
But you know what, in spite of all the things that happened, I know it was worth the risk. Because that's what I wanted. The project was gone in a flash but I quite found myself. I fell but I stood. I was hurt but now stronger. Getting back up for me was hard, though I'm still at a recovery point, I'm on my way back to where and who I was before this downfall came.
You see, if you're stuck in a situation where you think it's the end, well it's not.
There are people who are willing to help you, even unintentionally like what happened to me, thanks to that newsletter and the person who wrote it, and there are things around you that could get your feet kicking again. You just have to stay focus because most of the time, it's the little things that help us big time!
If you're going through something, do not hesitate to share them in the comments box below or send me an email, let's talk. Or if you don't want to talk, let me just listen. I could be your online friend. I could be your online sister. Promise, I'll reply to you if you want me to :)
And now let's talk about my outfit here. I've always loved the thought of wearing maxi dresses because they look so comfortable and classy. Mine was everything I have imagined it to be. This dress basically caught me because it's very girly and summery. I now have a go-to summer look. What's yours? :)

No, I'm not swinging a racket any time soon but I'm sure I'll always reserve a spot in my closet for almost-sportswear pieces.
I admit that sports is far beyond my interests but I have always admired how those athletes look in court slaying the game fashionably. Since I couldn't and ever would wear (I think) a game-ready outfit inside the court, why not just wear them off the court?
In this look, I opted to wear a tennis-inspired outfit with this white pleated skirt, a leather cap, a pair of white sneakers, and this uber cute fox shirt from Yoshop.

There are only two things that impression could do: it will make or break you. People's impression of you will become your brand so you better make a good one or else start packing up.

Oversized jackets have been taking the center stage for quite a long time already and I don't think they have plans of stepping out any time soon despite the heat of our tropical climate.
I couldn't blame everyone for being so into this trend because they actually look cool. However, the jacket has always been paired with the same pieces— skinny jeans, boots, or sneakers. Still, I couldn't blame everyone, even I, am guilty of this way of styling, because they're actually the go-to pieces that are very easy to combine and pull off a rad look.
But if you want to step out of the bandwagon, you got to think of other ways to wear a jacket. In this case, I paired it with an A-line khaki skirt.

What could be better than an outfit that’s comfortable and actually stylish? Whether it's a combination of crisp white top and denim shorts or a cotton dress and sneakers, both of them will surely work if you opt for an oh-so simple look.
In this case, I belong to the latter part where a dress and a pair of white sneakers won me. I got this dress at Gamiss and I must say it's really worth the attention. I was able to move freely and comfortably in this dress. This is definitely one of the most wearable outfit I ever had.

For someone who loves to wear one-piece clothing all the time, spaghetti strap maxi dresses are not new to her. Usually, maxi dresses are mostly worn in summer. And since summer is fast approaching, what better way to spend it than slay it in style? To help you score the perfect dress, I’ve rounded up a list from YoShop.
