Wearing Fashionable Eyeglasses

Wearing eyeglasses can either be a blessing or a bane. For instance, a lot of people feel that their look is limited because they wear glasses. Others, however, make the most of their poor eyesight by wearing fab eyewear, almost as if having anything less than 20-20 vision is a great excuse to make a fashion statement.

And then there are those who have absolutely perfect vision but still choose to wear glasses. Yes, glasses can transform your look. Think Clark Kent and his glasses: whenever he takes them off, he is immediately recognizable as Superman. But with those glasses, he looks too different from Superman. Well, of course, no eyeglasses in real life will bring about that transformation, but you get the picture.

Fashion revolves around style and, fortunately, even our own little flaws can help us become unique fashion-wise. If you have poor eyesight, go for designer eyeglasses that makes quite a statement. Glasses with unique frame shapes and colors almost always do the trick. However, if wearing eyeglasses makes you look too geeky, there are always frameless glasses that do the job without changing the way you look too much.

In the end, anything you wear can become a fashion statement. Shoes, bags, accessories, and yes, even your eyewear can be considered accessories, so choose them wisely. And if you want quality eyewear, go for designer eyeglasses that weigh much lighter than other cheaper alternatives.

Try on several frames before you settle for one. Then, put it on for a minute or so to see if they are too heavy or seem uncomfortable. Make sure you have the fit adjusted accordingly. After all, fashion is not only about how you present yourself to the rest of the world; it’s also about how comfortable you are in your own skin – with or without those glasses.

Web Traffic Control: Scam or Not?

Recently, I received an email saying that I was qualified for a free account at Web Traffic Control, a website that offered automated advertising for Wordpress blogs. At first, I thought, great! It’s a free offer, so I might as well try it. Then, in the middle of my application, I started to wonder: Is the Web Traffic Control website a scam or not?

I then started to sign up. After I entered my blog information, it asked me to make an editor account on my Wordpress blog. I was about to do that, when it dawned on me that they were basically asking me to let them control my blog.

Wait a minute. Why didn’t they want an author account? An author account can publish blog posts, edit posts that have already been published, and schedule posts. Is that not enough (to think that creating an Author account for a company I’m not familiar with is already scary enough for me)?

Apparently, the Web Traffic Control website needs an Editor account on Wordpress to create new categories. Shouldn’t they just ask me to create new categories for them instead of asking me to just hand over my blog?

I balked. I shied away from the, um, “free” account given me. I’m sure that it’s just some marketing scheme they thought of to make signing up seem more enticing.

Actually, Web Traffic Control promised that their minimum price for each paid post on your blog is $15. Hm, not bad, which is why I started to sign up in the first place.

Perhaps Web Traffic Control is not a scam. Or maybe it is. But I’ll never really know until something happens to prove either point. In any case, I was too scared to tweak my Wordpress blog and give them almost full control of it, just for $15 blog posts. The Trinket Princess would rather get paid $5 for each post as long as nobody messes with my blog’s settings.

Stanley Chi hosts The Suplado Show on Dig Radio

This year, Stanley Chi released his fourth book, Suplado Tips, and the Philippines became suplado.

A few months after that, his book sold all out. There goes his publishing house PSICOM, clapping happily, going forward with the first reprinting after just three months of releasing Suplado Tips.

A few months after that, UniSilver Time got Stanley Chi as their endorser, side by side with Iya Villania and Sam Milby. And what does Stanley Chi say? “Daig ng suplado ang gwapo!” With that, he flashes his Suplado Watch, the limited edition watch from UniSilver Time, and Iya Villania comes chasing after him:

A few months after that, Stanley Chi comes out with his very own internet radio show, The Suplado Show. It’s airing online at Dig Radio (which used to be NU 107, my favorite radio station).

And a few months from now, 3000 books later, his own watch line later, Iya Villania chasing after him later, and an internet radio show later, I’m sure that Stanley Chi has more up his sleeve to show the world that yes, being suplado has its good points (like when your boss wants you to stay beyond office hours without overtime pay).

Most of all – and this is something that the Trinket Princess can relate to – Suplado is the new sexy! You better believe it.

Makeup and Fashion

Going through personal blogs is like a “good” bad habit for me. I get to know more about other people, get a myriad of ideas for my blog, and check out what’s really in without being dictated by ad-sponsored magazines. I then came across Life and Fever, a personal blog owned by a doctor-writer. And yes, she talks about clothes and makeup.

The blogger talked about why we put on makeup and the difference it makes. She took a picture of herself without makeup, and even posted it on her blog, something I can’t do. Even better, she took a picture of her face with one eye already with makeup, while the other is bare. She wanted to show what makeup can do by making a side by side comparison.

Yes, makeup is indeed a part of almost any woman’s daily routine. Sometimes, it makes me wonder, are we trying too hard to try to be someone else, or are we just bringing out the best in ourselves? You decide.

Cute Pendants

Nothing beats wearing something really cool that almost nobody else has. That’s especially true when it comes to fashion. When you’re wearing a trinket or an accessory, like a fab bag or a cool watch, everyone wants to know how accessible it is. And when it’s part of a limited edition, it becomes all the more drool-worthy.

Just a few days back, my boyfriend gave me a cute pendant. I loved the acid orange color it came in, which complemented my sea blue top really nicely. The pendant was made from polymer clay and other materials on a bottle cap, which gave it an eco-friendly hippie appeal. It was also freshly unassuming, far from the rather somber giant gems set in gold or silver which I’ve been seeing around a lot lately. In other words, it had more of a cute chicness to it that made me seem almost childishly carefree.

Here’s the pendant my boyfriend gave me. Cute!

Yep, the Trinket Princess is definitely loving the pendant!

There are other pendants available, in the shape of hearts in many silly varieties. Take one look at them and tell me they’re not cute:

They would make the perfect token for special occasions and even regular days when you’re just in the mood to give a gift for no reason. Some of the pendants, such as “6 feet under” and “Steampunk”, are also quirky in a masculine way, so they would make great gifts for guy.

These pendants are made to order. I like that a lot. It means that they won’t be as common as other commercially available accessories. There’s something so exclusive about having something that’s made to order, I must admit!

To avail of these pendants, simply contact the Trinket Princess or place your order HERE. Each pendant costs about PhP200. All pendants are handcrafted with care and they are made to order.

These are the perfect everyday pendants. You know you want them…
