FASHION/FOCUS: Fashion Film Workshop

The British Council in partnership with the Ayala Museum will have a 3-day workshop on fashion film from 16 - 18 October 2012 at the Ayala Museum.

Fashion Film is a growing trend among fashion designers and an area of fashion communication in which the UK has a leading position.  It is an alternative medium for fashion designers who would like to tell the story of their collection apart from presenting their work in a catwalk show.      
 



The workshop will be facilitated by Belfast born Kathryn Ferguson who is a filmmaker and curator. She completed a Masters in Communication, Art & Design at The Royal College of Art in June 2011 where she specialised in experimental film. Previous to the RCA Kathryn had studied on the Fashion Communication BA at Central Saint Martins graduating in 2005. In between courses she made many short films for fashion designers and musicians including Richard Nicoll, Charlie Le Mindu, Katie Eary, Lady Gaga and Domino Records. These films have been featured on MTV, SHOWstudio, Dazed Digital, Bubblebyte, the BBC and in Vogue.

As well as her own filmmaking practise Kathryn also works as a Curator and Lecturer. She began curating the annual Birds Eye View Film Festival's 'Fashion Loves Film' strand at the Institute of Contemporary Arts & British Film Institute in 2008 where it continued until 2011.

Kathryn will be in Manila to facilitate the fashion film workshop as well as showcase a specially curated selection of 10 films from the UK.

This fashion film workshop will take students to the central aspects of the filmmaking process.  The workshop includes an illustrated introduction to film language using examples of fashion film; introductions to planning, shooting and editing video. Participants then plan, film and edit a simple sequence.

The workshop is open to people with a background in fashion design, filmmaking and make-up.

Cosmestics: Disadvantages to the Women's Body

Are you a kikay girl? 
Maybe you should know what those cosmetics are made up of and what will it bring into your body?!  I don't want to make any women get scared with this post but I am spreading awareness.


Every woman has her own vanity. There's nothing wrong with that. Most woman what to make themselves beautiful for herself and for others. You just need to be careful. How?!
Use organic or vegan cosmetic products, these kind of products are widely available these days and many people opted to use products that has natural and organic ingredients. 

It is still better to use less cosmetics. When I was younger, I always put make-up as early as a high school student. Nowadays, I'm on my early 30's now and I seldom put make-up on my face since most foundations I have used clog my pores and develop into pimples. Less make-up is best as it will make you look more natural and younger in the same time.

Gandang Ricky Reyes Salon: Bloggers Spa Party

Last July 9 morning, I joined the other bloggers for the spa party at Gandang Ricky Reyes Salon. We were a total of 14 bloggers whom were there, a mixed of guys and girls. We were given a makeover, yours truly by Mother Ricky Reyes.


Going to the GRR (Gandang Ricky Reyes) Salon was not a hassle to me since it is situated along Aurora Boulevard in San Juan and near the J. Ruiz LRT 2 Station. I think this branch is the flagship salon of Ricky Reyes though I am not sure but most of his salons are inside the malls and not as big as this one.

 
GRR Salon offers a lot of to offer from beauty services and beauty products for your hair, facial, manicure & pedicure and some spa services. GRR Salon has this tagline "Gandang Salon."




The event was hosted by the salon owner himself, Ricky Reyes and Rachel Alejandro, co-owner of Sexy Chef Catering. GRR has partnered with Sexy Chef Catering for everybody's special occassion needs -  a spa party or sparty for short. You can have your sparty at the GRR Salon and have a great food in the same time from Sexy Chef Catering. Whether its a get-together party, despedida party, office party, shower party or family party. 



I have heard very much of the Sexy Chef while I was still living in Makati 6 years ago. 
Rachel Alejandro is really sexy personally so the name fits for her ;)
The Sexy Chef has a wide variety of food and diet programs that anybody can choose from such as:
  • Cohen
  • Back to Balance
  • Eat Clean Detox Plan
  • Fat Burn
  • Bridal Packages
  • Anti-Plateau Diet
  • HCG
  • Body After Baby
  • Health for Two
  • Sugar Buster
  • Pounds Away
  • South Beach
After the talk and introduction from the hosts, the makeover  has started. They check first the condition of our scalp with a scanner if its scaly, dull, or falling hair so that they can advice us whats the proper treatment for our hair. They also check our skin type of our face, they told me that I have blackheads as being shown to me and the other bloggers on their computer. Mother Ricky advise that I should get highlights and hair booster treatment for my hair, facial spa and haircut. 
We headed into the shampoo area wherein every blogger's hair was washed before anything else then blowdried. Some bloggers got highlights like me, some don't to those who has colored hair already. I like the ambiance of GRR Salon. Its very elegant and modern. 
I feel like I'm a princess treated for a day while I was there during the makeover.

We were also treated to a healthy lunch courtesy of the Sexy Chef. The food looks so good and tempting for everyone's eyes but the Sexy Chef noted that the food they cooked and served are usually healthy - high fiber and low in calories so you don't need to suffer even if you're on a diet and trying to lose weight.


























These are just the appetizers and dessert. Now let me show you the main course. 
They don't just look good, it tastes really good too :)
  
Jap Chae (Stir-Fried Korean Noodles)
Miso Marinated Fish Kebab
Vegetable Crudite with Cashew Cheese Dip
Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
I really enjoyed the food that I want the Sexy Chef to be my caterer on my wedding day and other events.  After my highlights and lunch, the salon staff gave me a dry back massage then next was my Facial Spa. She was very good in doing it and has made me relaxed, I fell asleep while she was doing facial on me. (Sorry I forgot her name).
Facial Spa Area
When I woke up (I don't know how long I was sleeping), the salon girl fixed my hair so she washed it again then blowdried. My hair has streaks of highlights which was nice and not disturbing. Ricky Reyes cut my hair afterwards.  The result? you'll be the judge.
Ricky Reyes is like my fairy godmother!  :)
















I'm very happy and satisfied after the makeover. My face has become 20% lighter than and my hair has no fly-away like before. When my friends saw me, they were surprised and they said that my face looks radiant and glowing.  I will definitely go back and recommend GRR Salon to my friends.


I also got to chance to take home some of  Ricky Reyes products like Energizing Malunggay Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-On Hair Conditioner Spray then some IDC beauty products from Canada like IDC Hydra Seal Mositurizer (cream jar) and IDC Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Serum (bottle)

The event was pre-recorded and aired on TV this morning at Life & Style with Ricky Reyes on QTV11. Too bad I wasn't able to watch it since I woke up late because of the cold weather and typhoon though some friends has watched it. Thank you Sexy Chef for the hearty lunch during the sparty. Thank you very much Ricky Reyes for my makeover :)

Silka: What's Your Skin Type?

I received an email a few days ago about SILKA PROMO NOTIFICATION.  
I was surprised and happy when I read it because I was not expecting that I will win in the raffle contest after answering their What's Your Skin Type Quiz in Silka's facebook fan page. 
I didn't purchase anything to enter the raffle promo.

I like joining online raffle and competition except those whom are using Rafflecopter. 
For some reaons, I hate using Rafflecopter and I don't like to going back into it eveyday just to earn points. I like the Submit and forget process. That makes me win more. 
Great things come when you least expect it :)

I won P1,000.00 money plus a Silka gift pack. Wow!
There were other winners as well of the raffle promo and I am just one of them. 
My friends said that I'm really lucky when it comes to winning raffle and promo contests. 
I think they're right because ever since I was a kid, most of the time I win but there are also other times I don't win.  That's fine so that I can give chance to others. It's not nice to be selfish, right? A week ago, I claimed my other prizes: a new HTC Desire C phone from HTC Philippines and an original DVD of The Vow Movie from www.Clickthecity.com


Here's the picture of what I've got from my Silka Gift Pack: 

2 Silka Papaya Soaps
1 Silka Facial Cleanser
1 Silka Citrus Skin Energizer
1 Silka Papaya Whitening Pearl Cream
1 Silka Papaya Whitening Roll-on Deodorant

1 Silka Papaya Premium Whitening Body Wash

1 Silka Papaya Whitening Lotion with SPF6
1 Juicy Cologne
1 Define Styling Gel

1 Protect Hand Sanitizer Gel 


Thank you so much Silka! :)
