MAKE OVER DAY!

Last May 1, we finally met the 5 beautiful Plump Pinays who won the make over contest! Ms. Mel of Azta Urban Salon (SM San Lazaro branch) assisted them together with make up artist Kaycee Lim, who arrived at the salon early for the event.

Stacy and I followed at around 3pm, half way through the beautifying of Kristel, Erica, Paula, Mia and Maita. Meeting them was so much fun! You seriously have no idea how much it makes us happy to see and get to know the girls who read our blog and share our advocacy with us. I love how we connected and shared our struggles and victories disguised as funny anecdotes with our body-acceptance journey. This day is definitely considered as a milestone for our blog. :)

To make this day extra memorable, we had Merphi, a very talented and bubbly budding photographer (who already has her own following), take eye-candy photos for us! She's such a sweetheart.

Each of the girls had a haircut, hair color & styling plus threading from Azta Urban Salon's best team, make up done by Kaycee Lim, P1200 gift certificates from Erzullie, and accessories given by our gorgeous mom from Forever 21.

The makeover was a blast! The Azta Urban Salon SM San Lazaro staff were very accommodating and friendly. I never felt this warm welcome from any other salons I’ve been to & I’m hoping they’ll branch out in Pampanga! Thanks to Ms July & the team for giving my hair a total make over. I’m also grateful to Ms Kaycee Lim for using her magical hands to do my makeup. She is indeed a good artist! I couldn’t believe what I saw in front of the mirror right after the application; I was so pretty! I felt excited after Danah handed us the accessories from Forever 21, thanks to her glam and fab mom, Ms Angela Gutierrez for the generosity in giving us these. And last, but definitely not the least, thanks to the twin, The Plump Pinay’s Danah & Stacy, I’m really happy and feel blessed to experience the treat from you. God bless you always and please continue the advocacy. Thanks for being body warriors & role models to all plumpies. More power!

At first I was really nervous and worried that my hair would be cut too short and the color would not look good on me. But the stylists of AZTA Urban Salon did a great job (Thank you AZTA!!) They knew exactly what look I was going for, since I told them that I will be getting married this year and my engagement photo shoot is just 4 days away! The staff were hospitable, gave complimentary drinks (mine was milk tea..yummy!). They also gave useful tips on how to care for colored hair.

Kaycee Lim is very sweet and is a wonderful makeup artist. I only wear makeup on special occassions because I'm not used to the thick/heavy feel, but the cosmetics she used felt comfortable on my face...and o-m-g I looked so gorgeous!! (Thank you Kaycee!! Glad to have met you!! I hope we can meet again someday)

I also got Forever 21 accessories ( which i will be wearing on my engagement shoot..Thank you to Stacy & Danah's gorgeous Mom!!) and Erzullie P1,200.00 GC's!! Yipee!! (Thank you Erzillie!!!)

Danah and Stacy, I couldn't thank you enough for this experience. You girls are amazing and so nice to chat with. Your blog really is a blessing to us Plump Pinays (and to the Plump Pinoys as well). You deserve all the success happening and coming your way! Thank you girls! God Bless! ^-^

Last Sunday was my make-over with the Plump Pinays at Azta Urban Salon in San Lazaro. Me and four other plumpies had our faces done by Ms. Kaycee Lim and our hair done by Azta Stylists. At first I was scared. What would they do to me? Make me look like a rooster? Worse, blond. Thank goodness Ms. Rich of Azta had some ideas to play with. I told her to go play with me. My only conditions are: Don't make me look like a chicken and don't make me bald. The results were amazing. They gave me a layered, red-mahogany hair. I love how they treated us. They pampered us with milk tea and good tips. Now I feel like a diva without having to act like one!

Thanks to the Plump Pinay for this opportunity, for Angela for our F21 accessories, For Kaycee on the skin tips and the great make-up and of course for Azta for the great hair. I feel so wonderful and alluring!

Thanks girls!
