Photo Diary: Boracay Island, Philippines

Boracay Sand Art cost 50php for unlimited shot

Here are the photos from our Boracay trip, the place we spent our first days of being husband and wifey. It was fun and exciting to travel together by ourselves especially an out of town trip because we seldom travel alone when we were gf-bf. I am hoping to travel around world with him soon, right hun? Haha Ipon ka na? Anyways, we had fun, that is for sure! I love the activities we tried. Our days in the island is not enough, one day we will go back and explore the other islands in Boracay.

Snorkeling time with my hubby - Included in island hopping

Snorkeling is one of the activities you should try. However, our experience made us not finish the activity. Hahaha Because we boozed up the night before so we had a slight hangover during the morning. We woke up early for the activity. Little did we know, we were with a bunch of Koreans in the boat plus few other nationalities. It took us a few good minutes staying in the boat then we felt seasickness after our snorkeling session.

Crystal Cove

The time we realised that we need to go back to the hotel or else we are going to blow up anytime by then. Dizziness was really kicking in really hard. We were ticking time bombs. Lol We told the guy in charge of the boat that we can't continue anymore. However, he is convincing us to stay and finish the island hopping. Infairness kay koya, mabait sya. He told us that on the next island, we can use a tricycle to reach our hotel but before we headout; he insisted us to have a lunch. It was a buffet that's included in our island hopping. Pork bbq, fish, enselada, rice and fruits were served. We ate too much and decided to go back o the hotel. Food wins. Haha Just an advise, don't drink the night before your island hopping. hahaha Very bad idea.

Fine sand it is

The entrance of crystal cove, it has an additional entrance fee if you want to explore inside. We just stayed outside and rest our spinning heads on the side of the beach.

Somewhere out there

Next, we tried parasailing. Kudos to my hubby, who has a fear of heights and he still went with me. He was close to backing out but he changed his mind. He faced his fear. Yay!

I can now cross out parasailing on my bucket list. Yay! I hope someday I will able to try skydiving before I get old.

My happy hubby - happy because it is all over. Hahaha He conquered his fear at the same time.

Payat namin. Shet.

The beauty of sunset

I will never get tired waking up with this guy. Yesss naman!

This was me 20 lbs lighter. Haha kainis bilis ko tumaba

The mini stores are selling different kinds of souvenir items like keychains, magnets, shirts or anything that can remind us about Boracay.

Overall experience, bitin much. I am hoping to visit again here in Boracay.

Holiday Dilemmas: What to Wear on the Beach

Source of the photo: From Google

Planning a beach holiday should be an exciting experience. You’re finally getting away from it all. You can completely relax and finally get that fantastic tan you’ve been dreaming of all winter long. However, for many women, a beach holiday can also be really stressful.

After all, you’re planning on showing off your body to potentially hundreds of people. Unless you are 100% confident with your body, for many this can be really distressing! But have no fear; there are quite a few things you can wear that’ll help boost your confidence on the beach. By following a few simple tips, you’ll be able to get that well-deserved relaxation without stressing out about your body.

Problem solving swimwear

You don’t have to wear a bikini on the beach to look good. Today’s swimsuits can look really stylish and help hide any insecurities you may have about your tummy, thighs and bum. There are even specially designed swimsuits which hold parts of your body in, creating a flawless silhouette. For a modern style swimsuit, opt for one which has a halter neck design.

Well-fitted bikini tops

If you plan on wearing a bikini, make sure it fits well. Ideally, you should get yourself measured before you buy a bikini. Many women don’t even realise they are wearing the wrong size bras and swimwear! By getting measured you’ll be able to choose a bikini that fits comfortably and will provide you with plenty of support throughout the holiday. Resort is one of the brands selling well fitting bikinis for all ages, available at Isme.com.

Dress for your body shape

Do you know which swimwear looks better on your body shape? Do you even know what your body shape is? Over the past few years, there has been a lot of focus on dressing to suit women’s various shapes and sizes. Different types of swimwear look better on different shapes. For instance, ruched swimwear can help hide problem waists and is great for pear shapes.

Highlight your best features

To draw attention away from the parts of your body you don’t like, wear bright colours that highlight your best assets. Stripy swimwear can help create a slimmer figure and it is also really eye-catching and fashionable.

Avoid a washed-out look

When you have pale skin, it’s important to choose the right coloured beach wear. Depending on your skin tone, some will make you look washed out. Pale skin tones typically look best with black or deep purple swimwear, whereas lighter and brighter colours are recommended for those with a darker skin tone.
