Hi, everyone! How are you all doing? I hope you’re all having a great start to summer.
On my end, things are going peachy. There’s been several changes in my life starting with me quitting a job I’ve been in for nearly three years. It was a difficult decision – one I’ve been putting off for months but I’ve finally decided that the only way to grow was to severe myself from what’s comfortable and give myself the opportunity to challenge myself with something new. Then, if my papers fall through, I’m moving to China for a one year internship. Scary but definitely exciting! Please, please keep your fingers crossed for me and keep me in your prayers. 🙂
One thing I appreciate about making these changes in my life is that it’s given me some time. When I was still working, time was a rarity. I always felt like I was changing time to make sure I get things done. As a result, I’ve been neglecting my blog and the other things I love doing. Now, however, I have the luxury of time and it’s up to me to use it productively. Hence, until my departure, I’ll make it a point to blog everyday just like I used to. 🙂 (I’m sure you’ve heard that all before but really, I will try!)
To start, I’m launching a summer giveaway in collaborationg with lalalaPatricia because I love you all!
What’s up for grabs? These goodies that will definitely prepare you for summer:
1. Sunsilk Straight and Long Shampoo and Conditioner – Make sure to keep your hair healthy and moisturized this summer with this set from Sunsilk. Remember, hair is more prone to dryness and damage when it’s exposed to sun, saltwater, and chlorinated water so hair care should definitely be on top of our summer to – do list.
2. Carmex Lip Balm – Too much sun exposure can also dry out our lips so lip balm is also a summer essential. I like this balm from Carmex because it’s unscented and unflavored – meaning everyone in the family can use it including dad, your brothers, or your boyfriend.
3. Strip It Sugar Wax – Before donning on your favorite swimsuit or a skimpy summer attire, make sure to get rid of unwanted hair. 🙂
4. Accessorize – This summer, it’s time to bring out your colorful accessories. Complete your summer look with by winning these accessories:
5. Summer Tote – This floral canvas bag will definitely be useful when going on short summer trips. Pack everything inside and then go soak up some sun! In case it gets dirty from dirt or sun, you can easily put it in the wash to clean. 🙂
Ok, I hope you guys liked the prizes. There’s only one winner for this giveaway, by the way, so winner takes all.
Here’s how to join:
1. Like Mich Eats and Shops Blog on Facebook.
2. Like LalalaPatricia on Facebook.
3. Follow @purpledamaris on Twitter.
4. Log your entries to the Rafflecopter app on my Facebook page to unlock more ways to gain more entries.
This giveaway will end on April 30, 2013. 🙂

Unfortunately, I have no plans to go out of town for the summer. I’m just gonna look for a part time job so that when I graduate, I would be able to apply easily because of my work experiences.. That’s it. But hopefully my family and I would be able to have fun this summer here in Zamboanga. 🙂

Most probably, I will still be working this summer because I got a good news a while ago about my work. Yay. I’m so happy. Me and my family will be enjoying the heat of the summer here at the beach near us, its very much accessible for a good 5min walk you’re already there. We can go there every weekends if we want to but I guess that is too much.hehe. Sadly, we don’t have a plan to go somewhere else just yet. But if we have maybe we’ll go to Baguio, and/or Manila. We will just make the most out of our summer here in La Union, that’s for sure. :))

I’ve started my summer right, out in the sun that is.. I’ve been to the beach, out on the four corners of my city. I did not know that there are really remote places here until I’ve been there. Really Cool that is! Pigging out to every places that I’ve been, hiking, and enjoying some wild berries out in the mountains.. I’m still out to have more summer fun.
