Heating up

Two great reasons to look and feel dashing this March: It's Summer and it's Women's Month. How can we not love being us?

Dash in Stealthatlook.com

Stealthatlook.com is becoming one of my fave sites for my daily fashion fix. They feature celebs and models wearing the most gorgeous outfits, and well, they steal their look. And they have a new look everyday! Plus, I like that they always recommend Philippine-based shops and sites (like Dash!).

For those of you who want to stay in the know, I suggest you fly over to their site now.

And did I mention that Dash has featured products there?

P.S. Don't you just love how this whole fashionable cyber community is coming together? So if you have a personal site on the web, whether it be on Friendster or Multiply or MySpace, please don't forget to link, link, link us!

My Favorite Things: February

Mod/Shift dresses
Cameron looks so good in this dress! Heck, she always looks good.

Tunic dresses
I like soft and light dresses like this. Plus, it can be worn from day to night.

Bubble dresses!
They give that instant oomph! I balance it off by choosing plain fabrics and subtle colors.

The Babydoll look is so cutesy wootsy --- check out a similar dress from Dash .

Playful and pink. J'adore Lacoste! Un peu d'air sur terre.

Lolita Lempicka

Believe me when I say that this is one of the most stylish perfumes in the planet. The bottle is magic and the scent is totally intoxicating.

Cameron's straight cut William Rast

Is it just me or is everyone wearing skinny jeans now? For girls who are getting just a leeettle tired of the "skinny" on every pair of legs, I recommend straight cut and cigarette jeans. They're flattering on the hips and legs and just as fab!

Ernest Sewn cigarette jeans

Love, love love blue dresses!

The female celebs can't seem to get enough of blue dresses. Well, we can't either! We just love how feminine and subtle they are. We even have one that's similar to Nicole Richie's! Only P500. Get it now at http://h1.ripway.com/dashwearables/dress4.html

How Do I Love Me?

The secret to finding true love begins with you.
By Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway

It is so important that we nourish ourselves -- body, mind and spirit -- and treat ourselves like goddesses. Being kind to oneself is a healthy habit to get into, and the best way to get into the groove is to set aside "Goddess Time" each week for you, and you alone!
We give so much to others, why be stingy with ourselves? Whether in a relationship, hoping to be, or simply enjoying single life, a date with ones self is a powerful metaphor for self-nourishment. And it is the first and most important step toward a balanced, loving relationships with others.

Where to begin? Imagine there is someone in your life you can depend on to pamper, heal and revitalize you, and treat you royally -- for at least a few undisturbed hours each week. Now, imagine that "someone" is YOU. Pick something that would bring you great pleasure -- an activity, an experience, or a material gift -- and agree to give it to yourself.

Start off with something simple. Try a "self-love bath." Crown yourself Queen for a Day or Goddess for several hours a week -- and pamper yourself. Buy beautiful candles, scented oils, flowers. Draw a bath. Play relaxing and sensual music. Slip into the warm water, daydream and allow yourself to bask in the energy of love. It truly creates an impression in your own mind and spirit that you are someone who deserves royal treatment and who is willing to receive it! I cannot tell you how much a simple act of self-love will bring you closer to receiving pampering from others. At the most basic level -- a nice warm bath with candles is very relaxing and it gives you a chance to meditate. and get a new perspective on life.

How do I love me, let me count the ways. Other simple delights include: light a candle and relax in a favorite chair for 15 minutes; take yourself to a movie, out to dinner or to a museum exhibit you've been meaning to see; buy yourself a small gift. The best way to keep your soul nourished is to create an ongoing environment for this nourishment.

Date yourself regularly: Many of us take time out for ourselves just once in awhile and neglect to create the foundation for ongoing revitalization. Why not carve out time and put things in order so that you can access these experiences of self-love and care, regularly. This may mean keeping your favorite bath oil and candles on hand at all times. or ensuring that you have several hours a week alone, to yourself. Think of it this way. if you were dating someone special, wouldn't you go out of your way to make dates and focus attention on the relationship? Do it for yourself, first. this sets the groundwork for others to treat you like the goddess you are!
