Inspired by the '13 reasons why' of Hannah Baker in the most popular original Netflix series and the 10 reasons that Lea and Tonyo made to justify their purpose to love in the movie 'Kita kita'. I am writing my 15 reasons why I still choose to be a nurse.

Happy long weekend and Happy National Heroes Day. Do you have plans for your extra day off at work? If there's none, take advantage of it as your relaxation day at home. Here's what you can add up to your skincare today while chilling.  I know how tiring would be a day after work and we have no enough time to pamper ourselves. Treatments from beauty center can be expensive at times and will cost you extra hassle time travelling to its location. You always have a DIY alternative by using products that your skin needed at the comfort of your own home.

Hello weekend vibe! Just like everyone else, I look forward every weekends because this is the time when I met with my family and friends over a quick snack, dinner or picnic. I always love seeing my loved ones during their free time. Today, I would like to feature one of my favorite place in our town where to spend my weekend. Nature meets leisure is the theme that comes to my mind whenever I heard of this place. It is called NUVALI. It is located along Sta. Rosa, Laguna-Tagaytay road. It became famous because of its nature sceneries incoporated with enjoyable activities that is perfect for family bonding.

What's up? I am still tweaking some of the links here on my newly renovated blog to make it all live and lovely. Just a quick post on my recently added products on my shower essentials. It is actually an overdue post (as usual, and I am sorry). Palmolive Naturals, one of our all time go-to bath and body products, have newest addition to its already huge family. It is their Palmolive Naturals body wash white + milk and it comes with its corresponding soap alternative. Moreover, I got a new variant of Palmolive shampoo and conditioner with Aloe Vera and fruit vitamins.

Hyperlocal connotes information oriented around a well-defined community with its primary focus directed toward the concerns of the population in that community. The term can be used as a noun in isolation or as a modifier of some other term (e.g. news).

Hyper-local advertising is certainly not a new focus- we’ve been hearing about this and directing our efforts towards creating a personal experience for consumers, for several years now. However, research continues to show that with location-based data, we now have even more information at our fingertips that will allow brands to build an even stronger connection with consumers. 

Lookna is a hyperlocal advertisement search engine that allows only legit businesses to get listed on their website. This all depends on where you are and what your marketing tactics are. However, it can be the main street in your city, a specific destination, shops or homes within walking distance, a park or other public area, or even people right in your own office building. Hyperlocal is describing a small area within a larger local area. So if you are performing local marketing in your town, you might want to incorporate hyperlocal advertising in the shopping center where your business is located. 

If you are attempting to advertise your local business online, regardless of the type or size, you need to participate in hyperlocal marketing. It goes beyond just local marketing and includes buzz words and targeted content for the people near you. Since you are in that area, you know these people and what they are looking for. 

This can all be used to help market your business, whether you own an art gallery on the main street or a coffee shop in a busy shopping center. Not only are you trying to get customers by using hyperlocal marketing, but you are working to keep them as well. Retaining customers is a huge perk of using this type of advertising method. It’s great if you get a one-time customer, but don’t you want them to return? You already know that it is easier to keep an existing customer than it is to get a new one, so you should already be aware of the importance of customer retention.

Lookna has a Searcher account-used by anyone who is looking for a specific service or product offered by the advertisers. A Searcher account is created thru search page. Once the searcher starts communicating with the advertisers, the phone number he used will be saved in the database and will be used as his auto-created login info.

One of the main benefits of utilizing hyperlocal marketing is that you are able to provide a unique customer experience based on this specific niche market. Instead of attempting to market to a broader local area, you are making it specific as possible. You already know these customers, because they are your neighbors and your friends. This works well for marketing to such a niche community. The more specific you can get your target market, the more unique and interesting you are able to make the marketing experience.

Karolina Clean Responsive Template

Hello, hello! How are you guys? It is the 1st of August and everything were really coming into place. I've been busy dealing with my shortcomings, tantrums and laziness. I've been MIA (missing-in-action) as always and I thought of coming back happier. One of the reason (believe me there are tons and I am overwhelmed #TYLord #blessed) was this ehem-ehem beautiful NEW theme and layout that I have. Clean and responsive with the touch of girly me. YES!

Hey girl!

I had to research thoroughly about this before using this since it was my first to use something like this. Upon seeing tons of reviews and videos online showing their results, I knew I needed this. I got mine from a giveaway of one of the top beauty blogger here in PH, Ms. Martha. I was so glad to score one. I admit it. I don't care much about my feet unlike my routines on my face. The only pamper I could give them was a foot massage and THIS! It is time to slough off those hard skin cells on my feet. Let see what happened after 2-3 weeks of use.

It may not be new to many, it is one of the most hype oil-free powder, Is it worth it? I have seen this too many times on every beauty articles and was once curious about it, but with my little budget and its availability on local market makes me think twice. Great thing, I got to have one on hand now. It was my first time to try this one. Actually, from the brand itself. It was from Korea. Beauty online sites makes it now easier to get from international brands. Being oily myself, I am so excited how it will change my face game.

 Hey girl!

They say summer is officially over because rainy season is already here. Let us went back to products that saves us last summer. By the way, these particular products will be available up until this month because it is intented as summer exclusives from Pantene. I actually don't know what is the official announcement on that but my fave sampling site, Sample Room, posted about it on their site. So, come on grab it on the major supermarkets near you or on Sample Room itself where I got mine. I think it will still come in handy for us living in a tropical country since after the rainy days, there will still be sunny days. No need to overthink on that! Lol. Going back to the products, it is especially designed to protect our hair from an intense summer heat. 

Hey girl!

Hey girl!

We got so much busy making our life become colorful but despite that, we still get caught in down times. We find oursleves struggling in a situation that makes us feel more toxic in life. We might be settling in a life full of burdens and responsibilities that we forget to find time to make idle time for ourselves. In return, we got caught up in the midst of anxiety and stressful situations. Moreover, we can't justify what is really the problem with our system. So, I thought of finding simple and practical solutions on dealing with stress. Here are some tips on what you can do to reduce tension and stress.

Hey girl!

Where have you gone this summer? I know its getting late to post our sunwarriors because wet months are coming. I felt sorry for myself on my lazy days and nights. We are getting into the last quarter of the month and I can't missed to post my summer diaries. Hello to the newest addition of  my sunwarriors from Belo, I am talking about Belo BB cream and BB body cream. I've seen the BB cream since last yearbut I haven't had a chance to score one so when I got the BB body cream, I know they gotta be a perfect combo. As expected, the sun protection is still one of the best (at least for me) and Belo sunscreens are one of my favorite.

Happy Monday! We are all back to werk,werk,werk! Heat strikes so bad that it hurts our skin, but I would rather soak under the sun beside the beach than be bitten by those icky mosquitoes. Real deal, huh? Good thing, I have my buddy from Zenutrients, my fave organic and natural beauty brand. They have these amazing line of all organic products from head to toe and even this repellent balm. It fights against bugs, ticks and flies with its natural formulation.

Hey girl!

I was wondering if I could save a penny in doing my hair rebonding at home. I have never tried doing it alone but it is not the first time that my hair got rebonded. I've seen this  Hair Rebonding System for a long time in Watsons but I was hesistant to buy because I might not do it the right way. Before finally purchasing one box, I've watched and read some reviews carefully. First of all, I don't expect much on this one for its price. Its been months now since I did my rebonding at home.

If you are a beauty enthusiast, you wouldn't missed to check on one of the must-see beauty site in the metro, www.beautymnl.com, where you can curate your next beauty haul. With so many online sellers nowadays, there are only few of the most trusted beauty sites that we go to purchase our favorite beauty products may it be  locally or internationally. BeautyMNL is one of those few that gathered legit brands in one site for an optimum beauty shopping experience. Let me take you to my recent spree on their site.

Hey girl!

How was your first duty working as a nurse? I am not referring to the duty hours we have spent during our nursing curriculum in the university where we have our buddies in a group. I am talking about the actual days of working as a newcomer in a progressive medical center. I wish I wrote this sooner here so I can still grasp the full details of what is like to be in that situation. I am working as a full-time staff nurse for quite sometime now, and as the years past, I can see the same situations that I, myself, deal as a newbie in the hospital. That is why I wrote this for you to know that you are not alone in a new chapter you are entering.

Hey girl!

This will be my very first R.N.Notes. It took me so long to start this series of posts because I actually don't know how to begin writing this journey. I would like to tell a story on how I started my life as a nurse by profession. 

Just like many other highschool graduates, I am so confused of what I really want to  pursue in college. I know in my heart that I wanted to study a course inclined with arts, like Multimedia arts and Interior Designing. At the same time, my love to explore the world and travel also made me think to take up Tourism or Multilingual course. These courses still lingers on my mind that someday I wanted to pursue because it was my first love and initially what I really wanted in life. I never thought of taking up nursing, although I heard a lot about it because of the career opportunities abroad. Many students in the time that I graduated took up nursing because of the peer pressure and greener pasteur ahead of us. I never knew that these shallow reasons brought me to a greater purpose in life.

When you got a bright eyes, you should take it as an advantage. They say we can speak through our eyes and why not make someone obey with your pleasing eyes. Ha! That's kinda statement. One of my top 5 make-up essential is mascara. It is true that one should make the most of their asset. In my case, it is my eyes. It is easy for me to love any mascara that I own because they all compliment with my beautiful eyes. Lol! Kidding aside, well, ahem! I have such lovely, obedient lashes to start with and all I have to do is to swipe that mascara to make the magic happen.

The love month is getting closer. Date and prom nights are coming. Most of the ladies are having a hard time to decide what to wear on their special day. I, myself, can still clearly remember the struggle I had during my prom days. I have no idea what dress will suit me because I rarely wear dresses and it makes me feel uncomfortable. At least, I have survived my awkward days. Let's just talk about it some other time. Thank goodness, online shops made it easier to browse and find inspiration on different dresses that caters all women's needs. My recent online shop discovery for dresses was Okdress. They have all kinds of lovely dresses for every special occasion like weddings, cocktails and prom. 

I had fun browsing through their wide selection of gowns. If I had a chance to attend my prom again, here are my top picks for lace, vintage and sexy prom and evening dresses. By the way, they are running a flash sale on most of their stunning dresses right now. So better check them out.

Hey girl!

Everyone who tried Sample Room will eventually miss sampling. These products have been around since late last year on their site but I was only able to grab it just now and I am excited and as usual, a happy girl! I have tried several products from Zenutrients and I am hands down on how they transformed organic into helpful and economical products that are free from harmful chemicals. My don't panic, its organic  mantra is on the loose. While searching for the items to sample in their site, I find these products interesting to try. Well, there is always something special in Zenutrients products that are uniquely made that you can't easily find in any other brands. Let's take a closer look with what I have sampled.

I have a new feature post here on my blog. I called it R.N. Notes. I haven't been talking about my profession as a nurse because it is an entirely different world from all the glam up beauty-related topics that I am writing. But then, I realized that there are actually more interesting true to life stories that are relatable in a life of a nurse. As of writing, I've been working in a hospital-based setting for about 3 years and counting and surely, I have a lot of real life scenarios that I want to share. This will be the other side of the my personal life. I've been wanting to write something personal that are relatable but I just couldn't find a topic that I will be comfortable talking about and here it is, finally!

I will try to share my R.N Notes at least twice a week on this blog and I hope we could share more real life experiences and conversation in the future. Shout out to my fellow R.N's! Yay.

Let's talk again on my next blog.

Yes, YOU lovely gorgeous.

Love yourself because you are beautiful.

Hugs and Kisses,

Princess Mikee

Hey girl!

Ageing shouldn't define us women. Are you one of the many who still lied or denied their age? You should not have if you start giving your skin the love it needs. You might say that I can easily say this because I am at my young adult age, but surely procastinating doesn't really help in skincare. What we have started today, we will reap in the future. That is how it works in our skin. There is no instant youthful magic potion (tell me if you knew one. wink!), only patience and consistency on your skicare regimen. I am lucky to have tried some of the anti-ageing products from Olay since last year and just like me, a lot of women approved its anto-ageing benefits.

HERE ARE MY REGENERIST PRODUCTS 

Happy New Year! I know my greeting is a couple of days too late. But yeah, this year deserves to be celebrated. It is a brand new year and I am always hopeful for every new year coming. I haven't posted any this last quarter of 2016 and I misssssssss blogging tooo much. This is not another writer's block or losing my inspiration in writing, but actually the last three months of 2016 have been tough for me. I don't want to make it specific right now but maybe I will be telling you anytime in the future. As of the moment, happy thoughts prevails, 

I would like to thank the people who keeps on reading my not-so cool posts here on my blog and also, the search engine bar that keeps new visitors coming to drop by and see some of my personal insights that doesn't really matter. Moreover, I am also thankful for some interactions of real people on the comment section of my posts. It made sense that I knew someone really has taken time to read my post and leave an interesting mark. Every year I made sure that I have improved something for myself to share more relevant experiences here on my beloved blog. Well, 2016 thought me to take risks, be strong and confident. I am positive that this 2017 will bring me greater opportunities because I know that I am ready. I have learned my lessons and I am geared towards better horizons.

I have not made my resolutions for myself this year, but only goals to achieve. I am done burning my resolutions every year and for now, my actions should speak louder than my words. But of course, I have a few for this blog. Firstly, I would want to have a daily post here on this blog. One post everyday so everybody can cope up with my crazy thoughts. Secondly, I also would like a day to share my personal rants in life, This will be just a pure personal opinion and experience #realtalk #truestory. Lastly, to learn more about this blogging world for me to improve the quality and reach on my posts so I could inspire more. With the immense power of modern technology nowadays, the Internet have become one of the valuable source of information. So, we, bloggers, should make it right to share relevant information to people around the globe. I will not make this too long because it is too boring to read without visuals (I know right!) Thanks again for reading up to this end of my post. I love you guys!

Cheers to New Year and better Blogging!
