Dr. Paolo Bellosillo On Love

Sometimes, you will meet someone and it works. Sometimes, you will meet someone and it will feel like God intervened and made you meet. Most of the time though, you meet someone and they break your heart into a million pieces and you start to wonder, “why me?”

With hugot still being one of the trending topics of all time, we decided to ask Dr. Paolo Bellosillo who is known for advocating living a quality life to share his thoughts on how you can protect your heart from the greatest stressor in life, a heartbreak.

What are the qualities that a woman should look for in a guy?

A woman needs to look for someone who is God fearing because if a man fears God, he will be loyal, faithful, committed, responsible, and honest. These are traits that any woman should want for in a man. A man like this will never make you worry or fear that he will go astray.

What are the qualities that a man should look for in their future partners?

A man needs to look for a woman who is capable of being their partner in life. They need to find someone with a humble heart and someone who prioritizes their relationship over their pride.

How can you have a relationship that is good for both parties?

A relationship that preserves the dignity of the other person is always a good indication. When there is mutual trust and mutual respect, when a relationship is rooted in prayer and kindness then reinforced by communication, you know that it is beneficial to both parties.

What are your 5 tips for a healthy, smooth sailing relationship? 

1. Pray together. When God is at the center of everything, everything will fall into place.
2. Communicate. As they said, almost everything can be sorted through an open and honest communication. Avoid talking when both parties are in the peak of anger or fatigue.
3. Be kind. If you can’t be anything, if there is no more love, then at least be kind. Avoid not to lose your respect for your partner.
4. Be open. The two of you are not the same person which means that you will not have the same beliefs, the same principles, and the same ideologies. In fact, chances are big that you will have different ones so be open to understanding how the other person works.
5. Let go of fear. Most of the time, we react negatively because of fear.

Any tips to our readers so that they too can have a lasting relationship?

Being in love is primarily focused on the heart, on love but everyday should always take that into account as love is a journey and a decision which both souls builds on.  While the whole world celebrates it, do so in a manner where it focuses not on consumerism or material things because they fade. Be original: play a song, sing a song, cook with love for your shared favorite dish, go to the first place where it all began with your special someone, or go to church and why delay it, say I DO, tie the knot. Just make sure the other is ready and fits in the qualities and attributes of those listed above After All when you Look Through The Eyes Of Love You Should Be Bringing Out The Best Of Me/You, Here There and Everywhere.

Review: Nyx Epic Ink

I won this product in a raffle from a makeup workshop I attended. I am not fond of lip tints since for me it is very tedious to apply before I will be able to go out of the house. This product is very pigmented and transferproof.

It has a transparent seal so customers will be assured it is not second hand. The wand makes it easy to apply the tint. It is watery and not sticky on the lips. It does not have a thick consistency.

The shade that I got is Heartbreaker. It is dark and suitable for those with fair skin. The first time that I used it, I applied it directly on my lips and my lips hurt. When I applied powder on my lips before applying the product my lips don't hurt anymore. I don't know why or which ingredient caused a burning sensation.

This product is good but maybe it is not for me.

Review: Marks and Spencer Lipstick

This lipstick is just given to me by a relative during Christmas season 2017. The case has a transparent plastic seal. It makes me feel assured that it is brand new. Written on the seal is Made from UK and Hypoallergenic. I am not sure if this available here in the Philippines. 

The Shade is Tea Rose. It has medium to full coverage. It is a creamy lipstick. 

The color is nice but my lips feel like burning when I applied it. Maybe there is an ingredient I am not used to. There is no list of ingredients on the case. It is not transferproof. It is a regular bullet lipstick. 

Choosing A Dream Car is One Click Away

One of my dreams is to have my own car. Sometimes being a commuter is hard due to long lines to transportation tickets. Comfort is an issue since public transportation vehicles are mostly overcrowded and I cannot sit properly. There are times that I stand inside a bus. The smoke, pollution and rain also make it harder to commute.

1.     Style. I want car that will fit my personality. After all self branding is important. Part of self branding is the properties you have. I want a simpler one which is a sedan or coupe type of car. The color is also a factor. I want something that is not so striking so I would choose a gray one. The picture below is a sedan car. It is a 2018 Toyota Camry.

2.     Use or Lifestyle. The type of car will also depend on the use or lifestyle you have. If you are the type that moves many things or carry things in work then you might need a pickup.

3.     Safety and Number of people that will use it. For safety I prefer van or SUV because the case is huge or there is more space. In case there is an accident I will have more space and protection. If you have a family already and you are many a car with many seats is preferable.

If you have a toddler already it would be better to purchase a car with childlock.

I also want a car that has tinted windows.

4.     Budget. I really want a convertible one but budgetwise honestly I cannot afford it as of the moment. I also have this feeling that if I drive a convertible every day then people might think I am very rich then thieves might set me as a target.

Used cars have lower prices than new ones. However rumors are when the car is already used maybe it might need more repairs. It will be harder to use it if you do know nothing about car repair. I think the best option for me is to just buy a new one.

http://www.cars.com/ will help you find the right car for you. It also has a tab for research, videos and reviews and repair. Aside from new cars they also have cars for sale which are used ones.

Lip and Cheek Tint by XOXO TPS Skin

I received this Lip and Cheek Tint as a freebie in a makeup workshop I attended. It is slightly watery. It is pigmented and once it is dried it is transferproof. It is organic and FDA approved. I also like that it has an expiry date at the side of the label. It also has a plastic transparent seal. Most lip tints I see online have no seal. The taste is not so sweet and just slightly fruity.

Shade: Fidem

Review: Shawill Liquid Eyeliner Pen

I bought this brought for only P99 in Watsons after attending a Makeup Workshop where in the makeup artist teacher said it is a good buy. I became curious so I bought two. One for me and one for my makeup clients.

It is longlasting, waterproof and has a matte finish. As stated in the packaging it is volumizing because the pen is not too thin. It is pigmented and applies evenly.
