Leisure 78: It's a Baby BOY Nailspiration

Another Nailspiration for you ladies and mommies! This time, I will share some of my favorite nail art designs by other nailartists. The first photo is by Robin Moses and I really love this creation. I really love the artist and I had been following her youtube tutorial ever since. She is a fantastic artist.

The second photo is by Madam Luck and I also love this design. It's so cute and yet fashionable as well.

I hope you ladies had fun. Follow them on youtube.

Leisure 77: It's a Girl Nailspiration

Photos here are NOT MINE. I just found them on the internet as I was looking for an inspiration for a "It's A Baby Girl" themed nailart design since I just gave birth to a baby girl. Soon enough she will be polishing her nails just like me. So take a look at these wonderful creation..

Have fun mommies and ladies!

Leisure 76: Pregnancy Toenails

My latest share for nail share. This is probably after 9 months of not posting anything about nails and polish because my nose / sense of smell had been very sensitive with nail polish fumes. This is my first and last nail polish for the entire duration of my 2nd pregnancy. Still, I cannot do any nailart designs because I can't reach my toenails for designing. I had a friend came all the way from her house to clean my toenails for me and put the polish on. Thanks Ate Che for cleaning my toenails and putting my red chinaglaze polish. This is also my first ever China Glaze brand of polish since we don't have it here in the Philippines. My cousin from California gave it to me. Thanks so much!

Forever thanks to my cousin Lorren for giving me presents I really love and super appreciate. My first of every brand: China Glaze, Nicole and the lovely ESSIE!

Will be uploading more tutorials very very soon after my delivery..

Lemlunay, Maasim, Sarangani Province

Take vacations. Go as many places as you can. You can always make money but you can’t always make memories.

I will take you to one of the most wonderful places in Maasim, Sarangani Province. I will take you to Lemlunay. Lemlunay is a T’boli Festival which happens annually in the Philippines specifically in Lake Sebu. The festival highlights the rich culture of T’boli tribe by means of traditional musical instruments and cultural dances, not to mention the horse fight or what they call ethnic sports.

According to other sources, during this festival, not only T’boli tribe culture is being celebrated but there is a celebration of the culture of the tribes Ubo, Manobo,Kalagan, Maguindanao and Tasaday tribes. This festive is also a form of thanksgiving for the all the tribes which is held during September 16 -18. Source: http://www.seasite.niu.edu/Tagalog/Cynthia/festivals/lemlunay.htm

However, I won’t take you to Lake Sebu. Lake Sebu is another wonderful place in Mindanao which caters zipline featuring the 7 falls while doing the zipline experience. I will be featuring Lemlunay Resort at Maasim, Sarangani Province. This resort is the home of South Point Divers and is just a few minutes away from General Santos City; estimated time is 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your vehicle’s pace.

They offer a lot of things like fully air-conditioned rooms, open cottages, convention hall, camping grounds and conference room. But what made them unique? Well, they have an infinity pool. That is something that I haven’t seen in any of the beaches here in General Santos City. Plus they offer scuba diving lesson and experience. In addition to this water thrilling experience, they also offer snorkelling.

Snorkelling costs about Php 250 for the complete package. However, guides will only be there for you if they don’t have scuba diving lessons or if they are not giving scuba diving guide for the other tourists.

Scuba diving is Php 1500 for about 30 - 40 minutes with the master diver who would accompany you.

Infinity pool will cost you Php 100 each person whether adult or child. You will be given a paper bracelet that will let the rest of the crew know that you already paid for the pool usage. But if you already checked in, in one of their rooms, you won’t be given the bracelet anymore.

The rock formation in diving area is such heaven! It brings you closer to places you could only see on the television, books or computers. The Philippines is such a lucky country for having these wonderful sceneries. Not all countries are blessed with these wonders.

Food is good. Why good? Well, to be honest their food is too costly for an average or good taste but not the best. And believe me, when you have tasted the best, you will find a hard time appreciating the rest. This time, I will be giving 3 out of 5 for food taste and presentation. I don’t want to be biased because I am pregnant when I tasted the food. But I am 4 months pregnant and no longer craving for anything. So I would know good food from best food. But of course, Lemlunay offers different things than that of other resorts. The main reason why you should come here and visit the place is for you to experience underwater encounter with the fishes. The cost of food will range from Php 190 up. That Php 190 is good for one person only and it has only a cup or rice and viand of your choice. Food good for 3 -5 persons is not available. Too bad cause other restaurants in other resorts really give succulent food. Their staff and crew are also rated 3 out of 5. Not so friendly, not so accommodating but could be trained.

But food and customer service won't stop me from enjoying the day. I definitely enjoyed the Easter Sunday because I spent time with my family. And that is the best!

My boys: my husband and my son.

So, if you are ready to have fun underwater, this is the place for you! Have a lovely vacation everyone! Enjoy it with the whole family or friends!

Leisure 74: Nail Care for the Kids

Since today is officially summer time in the Philippines and the kids are no longer in school, I had to make their stay at home worthwhile. So, I came up with Mama Nail Care activity. I cleaned all their nails and had the girls polished with polka nails because they requested for the polka nails.

For Anica's nails, I just used simple polka design which I already made a year ago.

And now for Alexa's nails, she also requested for the polka. But I placed accent so it would look different from her sister.So, here it goes..

This is how both of the nails from left and right fingers look like with the accent.

 Left hand with pink accent.

Right hand with blue accent.

And because Kurt can't use the colored polish, I just cleaned his nails and had his photo taken after crying for not having the colors. hahaha

That's it for today ladies, have fun! Don't forget to check out how I used the polka in the previous year (2013) for nail art tutorial.

Leisure 73: Green Rose

My green rose tutorial is very easy. I prepared this a week before my friend Irynn Carole's vow with also my friend Antonio. I am so excited for their wedding. I just hope the colors won't fade before Saturday's event. I just love weddings, it brings everyone together!

Step 1: Base coat on top of nails plus yellow polish.

Step 2: Use a lighter green as base of the rose. This will add a bulging effect and makes the whole rose look like sticker.

Step 3: Using your dotting tool and a darker green polish, just put a rose drawing on top of the light green polish.

Step 4: Put your top coat. DONE!

Leisure 72: 75th Kalilangan Festival inspired Nails

Happy 75th Kalilangan Festival to all the Generals (people living in our city, General Santos). So, since I haven't participated this year and I haven't gone to the city fair, I just made my own Kalilangan inspired nail art design.

As you can see above, I used several colors. There are also 4 nails there which were painted on my nail pad. That will serve as your guide on how to do it. That's very simple. You can choose different colors that you like because Kalilangan Festival is very colorful and you can just play around with any shade that you like.

Some of my upclose views.

The picture below is the one I did for my simple lettering as background draft for this nail art.

To know more about Kalilangan, kindly visit this page http://joneeacedilla.blogspot.com/2013/02/cultural-show-kalilangan-festival-2013.html

Happy Kalilangan! Tara na sa Gensan! Manayaw ta sa dalan!
