I am very happy to share this recent television feature on Color Analysis in one of the biggest local networks here in the Philippines. Dapat Alam Mo is a daily newsmagazine program on GMA7 which features the latest news and human interest stories.
Color analysis has certainly been making the rounds on Tiktok, Youtube and Instagram as people have become more aware and fascinated with the power of wearing the right colors for one’s color direction and personality. Finding out one’s colors is more than just vanity (of course it will make you look good and give you that lift); Since 2019, it’s been a delight to help my clients create more intentional wardrobes that work for their coloring, body shape and proportions, as well as their personality and lifestyle.
How do you start a wardrobe revamp? Is it necessary to have tons of clothes and accessories just so you can create stylish outfits that reflect your personality, are appropriate and functional for your career? This video is a re-do of my Wardrobe Audit video from 2 years ago. I decided to do an updated version for 2023. Hope you learn from this video and I look forward to helping you discover your color and style direction should you desire to book a 1:1 session.
Give the gift of color and style this Christmas! Over the weekend, I just released my Color and Style Holiday Bundles over Instagram. These are good starter image programs for those who want to kick off their glow-up journey but don’t know where to start.
Before you do any sort of decluttering, spring cleaning or an image revamp, it’s always best to start with learning where you’re at: What’s your color direction? Your body type? What body features and characteristics do you have? Are you dressing according to your proportions and scale?
Check out the launch video here:
The Holiday Bundles can be purchased from now (October 2022) until December 2022. Published rates for Holiday Bundles are only applicable for Quezon City, San Juan, Pasig City, Bonifacio Global City and Makati locations only. Sessions held in areas outside of those mentioned will incur additional fees. You can read the full details along with payment terms and schedule coordination in the order form.
This year, I re-enrolled in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) for People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided. I wasn’t able to attend the first part which was called People of the Promised Land held in 2020-2021 but was able to join the study of Matthew from 2021-2022. I have been attending BSF since 2011 (we were studying Acts then), was called to join the BSF leadership in the same year and things just haven’t been the same for my spiritual life. Back then, I’ve been a believer for more than a decade but it was my first time to go through an in-depth, inductive Bible study method that just made me crave for the Bible so much more. Those years were also my peak single life years — though I didn’t get into any relationships then, I experienced the Lord in a manner that made me just want to be single for life. Studying the Bible through BSF made me want to visit the Holy Land and the other places mentioned in the Bible, and the Lord has just been so faithful to give me enough resources to travel to Israel, Egypt and Jordan in 2014, and join Paul’s Missionary Tour (Greece and Turkey) in 2017.
If this is the first time you’re hearing about BSF, this is a program that takes you through a structured, inductive study of different books in the Bible using the four-fold approach of listening to a weekly lecture, studying lesson notes, answering study and reflection questions, and discussing your discoveries with a small group led by a BSF group discussion leader. Enrollment is absolutely free, it’s open to everyone (BSF is non-denominational) and each season runs for 30 weeks. We just started our Kingdom Divided season in the Philippines, so if you’d like to join, you can visit https://join.bsfinternational.org/ and find the best class schedule that works for you. Group discussions are held once a week via Zoom for 40 minutes, then you can listen to the lecture, and go through the lesson notes and daily questions throughout the week.
For this BSF season, we will be covering 1 and 2 Kings, Chronicles, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Lamentations. Although we call our meeting sessions “class night,” it doesn’t mean that you sit in class, review and have a quiz or recitation, so don’t be intimidated by it and feel like you’re back in school.
The Kingdom Divided study starts from Israel’s split into two kingdoms: Rehoboam being king of Judah, and Jeroboam king over Israel. Rehoboam was King Solomon’s son, whose 17-year reign was marked with arrogance, idolatry, and rebellion against the Lord. Jeroboam was no different, as he too, relied on his own wisdom and strategy, and strayed from the Lord. Due to his fear that the people of Israel would go to the temple in Jerusalem (where Rehoboam was reigning) he set up golden calves, two satellite altars and appointed men who were not of Levite lineage as priests.

Without proper training and the right color tools, it is difficult to do your own accurate color analysis. Color consultants are trained professionals who are certified to offer the color analysis service and use specialized color tools.
With all the color analysis hype on Youtube, Tiktok and Instagram, I’ve been getting tons of queries on my color analysis services. One of the common questions I get is “What happens during a session?”
With my specialized color tools and a mirror right in front of you, I lead you to discover your color temperature, color intensity and color value. In the session, I also diagnose what you could be doing wrong with your colors and make recommendations that best suit your color direction and personality.
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Having blemish marks is a common struggle for a lot of people. We all wish that we were blessed with perfect, flawless skin, —reality check—everyone is different and more often than not, blemish marks stay longer than we would want them to. While color-correcting makeup and social media filters do the trick, don’t you wish baring your skin is as easy as it sounds? Thankfully, beauty powerhouse Olay has got you covered with the NEW cult fave–Olay Luminous Niacinamide + AHA Serum and Moisturizer! This new lineup is designed with Olay’s
novel technology of Niacinamide and AHA proven to be effective with 96% noticing reduction in acne marks or sunspots*. Not sure what’s causing your blemish marks? It can be caused by a variety of things such as exposure to UV rays, acne, and even hormonal changes. Some of the more common blemish marks are: Melasma is brown patching on the skin that usually shows up on both sides of your face in a symmetrical way. Freckles are small, flat spots on your face. They are usually harmless and having them can be genetic. Sunspots are defined brown to black spots on the skin caused by, you guessed it – the sun! Hyperpigmentation on your face usually develop after acne has dried out. So what’s the secret to the ingredients? While it can get frustrating to remove blemish marks, Olay has proven that you can now lighten them effectively in as early as 28 days. The secret of Olay? Science, of course! AHA or Alpha Hydroxy Acids are water-soluble types of acids used for their exfoliating and moisturizing properties. Olay Luminous Niacinamide + AHA works wonders in significantly reducing the appearance of blemish marks when used twice a day after cleansing, helping you achieve clearer and smoother skin after just 8 weeks of consistent use, allowing you to be confident to step into the spotlight. While a few drops of Niacinamide after cleansing takes care of making your pores look smaller and evens out discolorations, following up with AHA at night every other day refreshes and helps in hydrating your skin.
Ready to get rid of those stubborn marks? Here are a few more tips you can do:
Add Niacinamide to your skincare routine. Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3. It is also one of the thirteen essential vitamins that the body needs to function but cannot produce on its own. The benefits that Niacinamide can give your body ranges from reducing fine lines and wrinkles, strengthening the skin barrier, reduces facial pore appearance.
Do not hate, exfoliate (correctly)! Exfoliation is not just scrubbing your face. Chemical exfoliators can be an be an effective way to remove dead skin cells to be able to replace them with newer, brighter ones. One ingredient that is perfect for exfoliation that does not dry the skin out is Lactic acid. Lactic acid is a type of AHA that weakens the bond between dead skin cells, allowing them to peel off more readily and stimulating exfoliation in the upper levels of the skin.
Antioxidants are a must. Antioxidants can protect skin against free radicals triggered by stressors such as UV or inflammation and thereby preventing the future formation of dark spots.

Anyone who has struggled with blemish marks can understand how frustrating it is to resort to hiding. Hiding them with your concealer, face masks or even using different apps to erase the blemishes can only do so much. What’s worse is that some marks take weeks—and even forever to fade. Well, if you can relate, Olay’s got you covered. The beauty powerhouse recently launched its NEW Olay Luminous + AHA collection exclusively in Shopee that combines the power of their signature ingredient niacinamide, plus AHA, the new cult fave ingredient known for helping fade stubborn blemish marks.
What Are Blemish Marks, And Where Do They Come From? We’ve all had our fair share of blemish marks. Depending on the type, blemish marks can appear light brown to gray patches, at times, some can look well-defined brown to black spots.
Blemish marks are triggered by melanin imbalance, caused by varied external and internal stressors such UV exposure, inflammation, and even hormonal changes. These stressors trigger signals in skin that eventually cause melanin to be produced in a concentrated fashion, leading to the appearance of a blemish. There’s hope, though! With the right product formulation, melanin production can be regulated and blemish marks can eventually be cleared.

Filipinas have now discovered the power of serums and have relied on their specific ingredients to help their skin adapt to various conditions. Serums, compared to moisturizers, are lighter and have potent formulations that target skin concerns without drying the skin.

The skin thrives in steady situations — no sudden weather changes, regular sleeping patterns, and a balanced lifestyle. In today’s time, however, change happens more constantly than we’d like. When it comes to skin care, some Filipinas have relied on the power of serums to help their skin adapt to various weather conditions, routine changes, and maintain great skin all throughout different situations. If you haven’t tried face serums, you might be missing out. Here’s why you should include serums in your skin care regimen.
The Truth About Serums
In a skin care routine, serums are usually applied after the toner. Serums stand out from the rest of the usual skin care regimen because they are light, fast-absorbing, and delivers a high concentration of active ingredients. Serums target specific skin concerns that may not be easily resolved with your usual skin care routine because your skin has different needs in different environments.
But one thing is consistent in all Olay serums — the science of Niacinamide infused with other active ingredients that help your skin look consistently glowing. Niacinamide or Vitamin B3 helps reduce skin inflammation, redness, and strengthens the skin barrier, so your skin remains well hydrated. It also chemically exfoliates the skin for a brighter and less dull appearance.
While different types of serums work on various skin types and address specific skin concerns brought about by varying lifestyle factors, with Olay’s unique technology, the serums can penetrate the skin with 40% better hydration. Depending on your skin needs, you may even use two or more serums in your regimen. Give your skin the gift of glow this holiday season with these Olay serums you surely can’t skip out on.

Its formula contains Pearl Optics Technology that helps radiate the skin from within by improving translucency and light reflectiveness.

It delivers anti-aging ingredients deep into your skin’s surface for plumper, firmer skin — so you wake up as if the morning after is not a disaster.
Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide24 Serum
While most beauty products claim to be packed with high concentration of collagen, only a few can penetrate the skin well, leaving collagen just at the surface of your face. Olay’s formula of Niacinamide and Collagen Peptide24 in each bottle of the Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptime24 Serum stimulates collagen production like how collagen would occur naturally. This helps make skin look firmer and maintain moisture. And with 2 weeks of use, the skin is visibly tightened, more supple, and firmer than ever.
Olay Super Serums
Unlike regular creams & serums, Olay Super Serum line has Niacinamide, which can address three different skin concerns. When Niacinamide is mixed with other ingredients like Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and Cica it can penetrate 10 layers deep into the skin for hydration, even skin tone, and fade away dark spots and discoloration.
Dealing with uneven skin tone and dark spots? The Olay White Radiance Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum evens out the skin tone, reduces dark spots, and leaves skin glowing as ever.
