My Journey Called A!Life.

When I went back to blogging a year ago, all I had in mind was to do what I love to do the most - write. Back then, all I wanted was to end my blogging hiatus, pick up from where I left off, and start writing again. I knew nothing about Alexa stats, page rankings, giveaway hops, or sponsored posts. And I have never, in a million years, thought that blogging would land me THIS.

Livin' the A!Life!

The highlight of my stint as a Brand Ambassador for A!Life, and perhaps the biggest break so far in my blogging career - a product advertisement with me on it! Craaaaa-zy, I know! :)

We did the photoshoot last October at the Summit Media Studio, where I finally had the chance to meet my fellow brand ambassadors Dominique Tiu and Martha Sta. Barbara, plus the winners of the Take Control! Live the A!Life contest Kai Grafia and Ruby Papio. Our wardrobe and accessories were provided by Mango, while our 'makeover' was done by a professional makeup artist and a professional hair stylist.

In the midst of this fun chaos that is the A!Life photoshoot, Domz, Martha, Kai, Ruby, and I all sat down for a fun and laidback interview with Cosmo.ph. Each of us were given an A!Life product to represent, and since I am the oldest in the bunch, (and no, I'm not afraid to admit that I'm even turning 31 TODAY) I was given A!Life Restore. It's an anti-aging supplement which contains Injuv, a Hyaluronic acid that restores moisture from within the cells, rejuvenates the skin, and prevents the onset of fine lines and wrinkles.

And with that, we're now on the Lifestyle Picks section of Cosmo.ph, where our photos and interviews are featured individually. Here's how my spread looks like.

Restore and Control.

Pretty amazing, huh? Quite an achievement too, considering I've been blogging mainstream for just a year plus the fact that I am hardly seen - unheard of, even - at social events. And to be pitched by a pharmaceutical company as reputable as Pascual Laboratories is truly overwhelming. I am most grateful for having been given this wonderful opportunity!

And to those who have been with me since Day One of my A!Life journey - Zel and Mich of Yehey!, Ms. Elaine of HN Laguna, my blog readers and followers, thank you for being with me every step of the way! All of this wouldn't have been possible without you! Ever onward! :)
