Miranda Kerr

My friends know how much I looove Miranda Kerr. I love her face, style, body... She's just perfect! I even love her adorbs son, Flynn! I'm just sad the she seemed to have had breast enhancements. This observation is just based on her past and present photos, but I'm not sure... Nothing wrong with breast enhancements, but she's been such a strong supporter of "loving yourself" and all things natural that the enhancement somehow contradicts? Anyway, here's a collage of some of my favorite photos of her, gathered from various celebrity websites.

I've got more of these photos, but I don't wanna creep anyone out. Teehee. :) Aside from these superficial factors, I also like that she's into organic food and skincare, and really breathes holistic wellness. She created her own brand, KORA Organics, a certified organic skincare line made in Australia. It's quite expensive, but being the fangirl that I am, I went ahead and bought myself the Exfoliating Cream worth AUD54.95. Convert this to Philippine Peso, add the taxes, and shipping and customs costs, and you get a whopping P5,681.58. For. Skin. Care. Wow. Not one of my smartest buys, I know. Here's my take on the product.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Pros:

• Smelled good
• Nice texture with lots of granules
• My face was glowing after use. It felt really nice and soft
• Very gentle
• Lasted me for about a year because I only nedeed a very small amount to cover my face, neck and chest area. I exfoliate 2x/week
• Certified organic with great ingredients

Cons:

• Expensive!!!

Would I recommend this? For girls like me with financial limitations, probably not. It's great and effective but it's just way too expensive. :(

So far those of us who can't really afford to buy designer goodies and expensive skincare... Well, I've put together my top 3 tips on dressing up and taking care of your skin. Hope these help!

Style:

1. Dress for the occasion. If you look at Miranda Kerr's photos online, you will see that she's always dressed appropriately. She may be ultra glam in events, but when shopping or taking out baby Flynn, she's always in casual outfits. Casual doesn't necessarily mean drab. You can make your casual look stand out by injecting color or using accessories like a necklace or scarf.

2. Dress for yourself. Don't follow trends blindly. Know what works for your body type and wear clothes you are comfortable in. People might be sporting animal prints or cropped everything, but if you're not comfortable, might as well not join the bandwagon. Wear what you like. Even if other people say what you're wearing is so last season, if you like, go flaunt it. It's your life after all.

3. Confidence is key. In anything you do, confidence makes a big difference. You may not be the most stylish person in the room, but if you're confident, all eyes will zoom in on you. It all boils down to how you carry yourself. Nasa nagdadala yan, hindi sa uso o sa presyo o sa dami ng accessories.

Skincare:

1. 4-step process. Cleanse-tone-moisturize-exfoliate! You expose your skin to harsh elements every single day so you have to take extra care of it. It's your biggest organ after all, and at the end of the day, no matter what you're wearing, if your skin's bad, sayang lang ang designer get-up mo.

2. Be reliious. Never, ever miss out on item 1, even if you get home at 3am.

3. Drink water. It's very important to be and stay hydrated the whole day. Try to tearget at least 8 glasses of water in a day.

4. Apply sunblock. Yes, even when you're not going to the beach.
