As someone who works day and night, getting a night of quality sleep can be a struggle. It becomes even more difficult when I am stressed. And when I don't get enough sleep, I'm usually cranky the next day. Let's be real — sleeping dictates our health in general, and the kind of day we will wake up to.

What I got as a Revolve Brand Ambassador
I've been a long-time fan of Revolve and believe it or not when I saw my name with "Revolve Brand Ambassador Program" in my inbox, I couldn't help but be excited and worried at the same time. It feels so surreal that I got so worried that it might be a scam that will trap me from clicking the links. To verify if it's legit, I had to check all the links and background check the person who emailed me. That's how paranoid I was at that time. When I was able to confirm everything, I was over the moon! As a Revolve Brand Ambassador, I got so many drool-worthy clothes to add to my wardrobe.
I can't wait to wear everything! I'll make sure to share my whole Revolve Brand Ambassador Program experience in my future posts along with these clothes when worn.

There are many achievements that a person can attain in life may it be big or small wins. Buying a house and lot is one. While it's exciting to dream and realize you're closer to reaching it, home buying process is not always a walk in the park.
Truth is, purchasing your dream home is more than just browsing house models, making payments, and signing contracts. There are a lot to consider before getting a house and if you're a first-time buyer, you must be extra careful and well-researched to avoid roadblocks along the process. To make it easier for you, I've rounded up the five most important things to consider before you buy your first home:
1. Your long-term plans
Before you decide to buy what you think could be your dream house, think about your long-term plans. Are you planning on getting married? Having kids? Staying at your current job? Or resigning from your work months from now? These factors will help you decide which type of house you must purchase. Even if you have the means, don't get too carried away without thinking this through. After all, buying a house and lot will be one of your biggest life commitments you'll have to make.

2. Location
One of the most crucial aspects of getting your first (or even nth) house and lot in the Philippines is considering the location of the property. If you're single and currently living far from your office, you might want to consider buying a home near your workplace. Having home security is also helpful if you're living alone. If you have kids or planning to have one in the future, consider the property's vicinity to schools and universities. These days, more and more real estate developers are building subdivisions in the Philippines near schools, hospitals, markets, malls, etc. so that it will be accessible for homeowners to reach their destinations.
3. Local market indicators
Here's an unfortunate reality — there are things we cannot control and the only thing we can do is go with the flow. One example is the market condition. When buying a house in the Philippines or anywhere, it is important to consider the local market condition because supply and demand dictate real estate property prices. When the demand for house and lots is high but supply is low, you'll have to compete with lots of buyers and prices often go up. But when it's the other way around, it is the sellers who will compete and sometimes offer lower prices. And when the state of the market is worst, buying a property could not even be a practical option.
4. Budget
The most crucial factor you would have to consider when buying a home is your budget. Buy the house that you can afford, not just now, but also in the future. So that, when the economy goes down, or another pandemic hit, you could still pay your monthly mortgage even with less income in pocket.
5. Developer & Realtor
A house and lot is a long-term (or even lifetime) investment so it's important to work with trusted realtors and developers. There are so many real estate developers in the market now, and your job is to identify which one of them offers value-for-money homes. Whether you're looking for a Winston Salem realtor or agents from across the world, it's important that you do your due diligence.
Lumina Homes is one of the most popular and trusted real estate companies in the Philippines because of its topnotch services and affordable properties. This is perfect whether you're buying a home for yourself or for your family.
Not only do they offer quality affordable house and lots in the Philippines but they also take into consideration the communities of the homeowners.

July 26, 2022 Poblacion, Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines
Just three months young, Japonesa in Poblacion, Makati is already making the buzz across the metro for good (and sumptuous) reasons. This Japanese-Peruvian restaurant is Notorious Concepts' newest child—the same group behind Alamat and West 32 located in the same neighborhood.
While Japonesa was launched last April, it already gained a sweet spot on every foodie and influencer's dining radar. Because of its popularity and multiple requests to cater to daytime market, Japonesa has finally opened its doors for lunch-lovers. They are now open everyday starting 11am.
To be really honest with you, I am not always a fan of Japanese cuisine when it comes to sashimi, sushi, maki, and anything that comes with raw fish or meat—but, I loved it there. I'll tell you why.
From maki to yakitori skewers, Japonesa surprised me in so many ways. Let's start with my menu favorite: bomba camarones. It comes with a bowl full of crispy shrimps and spicy aioli. This appetizer really served its purpose as it increased my hunger and prepared me for the main course.
Bomba Camarones, PHP 500
My second most favorite is Japonesa's signature roll called La Japonesa. It has crispy rice, spicy tuna, and green chili. Everyone in our group loved this dish. La Japonesa definitely deserves its spot as one of the restaurant's best.
La Japonesa, PHP 650
I also tried their Pollo Negi which is a skewered chicken thigh with scallion. The meat is very tender and the sauce is like heaven in your mouth. Their Lengua Katsu (beef tongue katsu with creamy mashed potatoes) is also a crowd-favorite.
Pollo Negi, PHP 220
Lengua Katsu, PHP 950
Sake Ajo Verde, the salmon with green garlic sauce, is definitely a must-try. From how the salmon was cooked down to its sauce, everything was good. If you love maki, I suggest you try Japonesa's Camarones Tempura. It comes with shrimp tempura. avocado, cucumber, and spicy aioli. Last but not the least, the Entero Shimeji. When you get a serving of this, you'll have shimeji mushroom with squash puree and garlic chimchurri.
Sake Ajo Verde, PHP 790
Camarones Tempura, PHP 520
Entero Shimeji, PHP 380
Now on to the drinks! Of course, I wouldn't let the day pass without trying their most popular signature cocktail: Sakura. It's a mix of gin, strawberry, and hibiscus topped with fresh blooms that make it all the more Instagrammable.
Sakura, PHP 400
Watermelon Hai-Ball, PHP 380 | 3 Olive Martini, PHP 550 | Cosmopolitan, PHP 400
You can also try their Watermelon Hai-Ball that is a mix of sake, watermelon juice, and elderflower. Not only is it aesthetically-pleasing but also flavorful. If you're having a girls' night (or day out), make sure to order a glass (or two) of Japonesa's Cosmopolitan and feel like Carrie Bradshaw for a day. Or, if you feel like having a James Bond moment, why not go for the three olive martini?
Japonesa truly meets dining expectations with its offerings bursting with so much Japanese and Peruvian flavors meant to impress the foodie in you.

When it comes to finding the perfect shapewear, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. First, you need to determine what your goal is – do you want to smooth out your silhouette, accentuate your curves, or both? Second, you need to find a style that will work with your wardrobe and make you feel comfortable. And finally, you need to make sure you pick the right size. With these things in mind, here is a stylist’s guide to picking the ideal shapewear.
Black High Waist Open Butt Shapewear
Go for Seamless & full coverage options
If your goal is to smooth out your silhouette, you'll want to look for shapewear that is seamless and offers full coverage. High-waisted shapewear, a plus-size butt lifter, or a bodysuit are both great options. If you want to accentuate your curves, look for shapewear with strategic paneling. A waist cincher or a thigh slimmer can help give you the shape you want.

Look out for shapewear that matches your wardrobe
When it comes to style, you need to find shapewear that will work with your wardrobe. If you want to wear it under a fitted dress, look for something seamless and invisible under clothing. Shapewear is an amazing piece for both your everyday wardrobe and your gym gear. You can wear it under skirts and dresses, or on days when you want to stay comfortable even while working out.
Black Butt Lifter High Waisted Shapewear With Four Steel Bones
A few factors will help determine the body shaper you should choose - if you're looking for one that's stylish enough to be worn alone, opt for one made of lace or has a decorative pattern. If you want something that works as a functional piece at the gym, try a fitted style made with compression fabric. Don’t overlook comfort You're going to feel like you can breathe and enjoy the breeze. On Wholesaleshapeshe official website, you’ll get seamless fabric engineered with pressurized ventilation that promotes efficient airflow that gives you freedom of movement, unlike competitors who are restricting your movement with stiff fabrics! Comfort is extremely important!

Always pick the right size
Finally, you need to make sure you pick the right size. Shapewear should be snug but not too tight. It should also be comfortable to wear throughout the whole day. It’s always best to err on the side of larger rather than smaller if you’re not sure what size to get. Like we said earlier, are a few things you need to take into consideration when picking the shapewear from the best shapewear manufacturers. If you follow all the stylish's guidelines, you’ll be sure to find the ideal shapewear for you. Just make sure you determine what your goal is, find a style that works with your wardrobe, and pick the right size for optimal comfort.
