Carnival de Rainhas 2 (plus a giveaway!)

Hola Amigas!

The Regina Iustitiae Sorority from the Ateneo de Manila Law School is inviting us to
Carnival de Rainhas 2!

Carnival de Rainhas literally translates to Carnival of Queens and is in fact held annually in the city of Bethlehem, Brazil a month before Easter. The Carnival is considered as a farewell to negative things, as well as a preparation for the coming of Easter. In relation to the event, it will be held not only as a way to say goodbye to the school year, but also to usher in the summer season with a bang! How'd you like that? I'm sure all my UP friends would be glad to take a break from everything!

This year’s event is the second installment of Carnival de Rainhas, which was held last year at the Rockwell Tent. The sisters of Regina Iustitiae promise that this year’s event will be bigger and brighter!There will be over 100 food and non-food concessionaires, several game booths, inflatable castles, and concessionaires offering services geared towards the young and young at heart, such as face painting, balloon twisting, caricature drawing, fortune telling and many more. The event truly promises to be an entertaining and fun way to spend Sunday with family and friends. :)

And to start April with a bang, I'm giving away two (2) tickets to Carnival de Rainhas! 
All you have to do is leave a comment below with your twitter username. I'm on Twitter a lot so I'll be tweeting you! :) I'm giving the two to one person, so she can bring a friend. You can comment until April 5, 12nn so I can pick a winner!
Remember, you MUST be at Manila on April 7!
Updates about the event can be found on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CarnivalDeRainhas2.

The To-Don't List

I read an article shared by my friend Yana on Darling Magazine about a To-DON'T List. That's right, a to-don't list. There are to-do lists and there are to-don'ts. Your to-don't list can be your list of many things like fashion to-don'ts, general to-don'ts, to-don't ever etc but the to-don't list I'm talking about is the same as the one mentioned in the article I linked.

In this day and age where overachievers are getting younger and younger, it's hard to not want to do everything and cram everything just to be (or even feel) accomplished. I don't see anything wrong with that though, but being pressured to do well all the time, be perfect all the time and check things off your to-do list as you keep adding stuff on to it is just madness. The list just doesn't get any shorter.

So, in line with this as well as Easter (which connotes resurrection or turning over a new leaf), I've made my own to-don't list of the things or traits I will stop giving myself a hard time over.

Stylish Saturdays: Hapatime

Just a quick post!
I know I haven't done any Stylish Saturday posts in a long time so allow me to do one now! I'm featuring my new favorite blogger Jessica of hapatime.com! I saw a photo of her in a blush mullet dress before and I've always wanted to find her. Fast forward to a few weeks later--turns out I was already following her on Chictopia!! Boo Farrah, boo!
Anyway, aside from being so pretty (she's half-Japanese, half-Caucasian!), I love her style aesthetic. I'm all for the simple, classic neutral look she has going (probably from the Zen Japanese side of her!). Her interview here says her style icons are Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Olivia Palermo, which are two of mine! More photos after the jump, or better yet visit her blog here!
