Hue & Me | Art Appreciation Event |  Art by Mr. Ronald Castrillo | Blog Post by @TheGracefulMist (www.TheGracefulMist.com)

This is one of the first few art pieces I saw and it became one of my favorites. The sculpture looks like a couple dancing on top of a rock. I liked the minimalist look with the simple silver body and transparent heads.  The beautiful art piece beside it is also one of my most admired sculptures in the event.

"Every Beginning"

Five days have passed since that symbolic date,

Yet all that I`ve begun is wander about my fate.

View of unresolved uncertainty

Still creeps my eternity

Papemelroti | Recycled Items (Haul)

Hello Graceful Girls!

Papemelroti | Recycled and Handmade Items (Haul)

Papemelroti is a Filipino art, craft, and gift store which sells a variety of artsy, crafty, eco-friendly, handmade, Filipiniana inspired and recycled items. They sell bags, boxes, crafts, jewelry, picture frames, scrapbook kits and accessories, wall displays, wallpapers, woodcarvings and many other products. They also sell handmade furniture, hold workshops, give free downloadables and offer to customize items. It`s a really cute store with great items especially if I`m looking for gift inspirations. It`s a nice shop I`ve always liked visiting since high school.

I still remember visiting their main branch, exploring the variety of items that they sell, and buying cute and vintage stickers, and notepads.

Recently, I tried to organize my notes, journals, and planners. I dropped by at one of Papemelroti`s branches to get small notebooks so that all my notes, plans and other things are segregated according to purpose. I also bought other cute things that I can hopefully use a lot.

My 5 Planning Tools for Daily, Weekly and Monthly Planner Spreads | by @TheGracefulMist ( www.TheGracefulMist.com)

Planning is a very helpful way to organize life`s activities and happenings. It allows for better mental and physical preparation. Planning, organizing and preparing with a planner has been commonly known to make events easier to manage and track. Along with that are several tools that keep the written and journaled life happenings more convenient, fun and motivating to read, understand and act upon. Such tools aren`t exactly necessary but rather add-ons to keep one`s planner visually pleasing, interesting, enjoyable and easy to follow. Decorative accessories and items for the planner tend to seem an unnecessary extra expense. However, there are other ways to keep daily, weekly and monthly plans organized, easy-to-read and visually pleasing without spending much money.

Hello Graceful Girls!

Mid-Year Review: 2017 Belle De Jour Power Planner | by @TheGracefulMist (www.TheGracefulMist.com)

Viviamo! Inc. has been encouraging, empowering, and equipping modern Filipino women through their products like their 2017 Belle De Jour Power Planner that encourage Filipino women to be the best they can be because they can and they will. Their planner is not only a planner because it is sprinkled with motivating and uplifting words of encouragement and wisdom to help Bellas get through their bad days and move forward in achieving their goals and dreams in life. Along with the planner is a lifestyle card that gives Bellas discounts and perks from different brands and access to the BDJ online community.

Viviamo! Inc. also holds events throughout the year for Bellas. These events can be about beauty, crafts, fashion, life, work and/or women empowerment like this year`s 2nd BDJ Women`s Summit which I attended. [ Read: BDJ Women`s Summit 2017 | Women Can. Women Will.: My 5 Significant Realizations about Life and Women ]

I`m greatly thrilled about the community Viviamo! Inc. created for Bellas to get to know each other, talk about beauty, fashion, lifestyle, travel and other things that inspire or motivate us, and share our passions and craft with other women. I like the events that the company organizes to further encourage and empower women. 

The 2017 Belle De Jour Power Planner has an overall blue and pink theme with the tagline, “Trust your Heart to Overcome the Waves.” This statement encourages me to be confident in reaching my goals and dreams despite the rough roads that lay ahead.
