Cargo Cosmetics x Secretly A Mermaid

Being a person is getting complicated as mercury retrograde is here.. time to be a mermaid! Last weekend, I had the best time making a splash in a face filled with Cargo Cosmetics Swimmables makeup & Secretly A Mermaid’s two piece white iridescent bathing suit set. I tested Cargo’s Swimmables Longwear Foundation, Swimmables Waterproof Mascara, Swimmables Longwear Matte Liquid Lipstick, Paradise Bay Longwear Eyeshadow Stick, Ibiza Swimmables Water Resistant Blush, and their Swimmables Water Resistant Bronzer. And let me tell you — not only were the colors and shades beautiful but they also conquered all that water and lasted after four hours of swimming!!! Scroll down for more pics and how I became ten shades darker!

Let’s Be Mermaids

“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney

A couple of months ago, I asked my best friend to if she wants to be a real life mermaid with me and start our own fashion line. She said yes and was absolutely in love with the idea. We started off making a small capsule line with bandeaus, tops, skirts and chokers. All of this can be found at Secretly A Mermaid. Along with fashion items, I was inspired by my trip in Asia this summer where I had my first mermaid photoshoot in the Philippines. I thought to myself why not bring that here in Los Angeles where its (mostly) sunny all year round? Jessicka and I made our own mermaid tails and tops and had our own photoshoot. We also want to share this with the world and offer this to all the Cali girls who also wants to be a mermaid. As Spring comes along, we will start shooting again and offer different colors and styles of tails with matching bandeaus. Stay posted and schedule with us and email: shoplikeamermaidb@gmail.com if you want to make your own mermaid dreams come true! 😉

XOXO,

Joy

Can’t believe it’s Halloween weekend already! It literally feels like the year just started. If you love dressing up as much as I do, you were probably as busy as I was the past few weeks making costumes or shopping for outfits for this Halloween weekend. As some of you may know, I recently opened an Etsy shop with my bestie. We both love and are obsessed with mermaids so we thought why not start our own line? For anyone else out there who loves mermaids, check out our site Secretly A Mermaid We will be designing more tops, skirts, dresses, accessories and chokers. This mermaid set that I’m wearing can be found on the site. There is so much more to come; so stay posted!

Wishing you all a magical Halloween weekend! Get your mermaid on & shop now! 😉

I like to tell myself that the reason why I love Disney so much is because I was deprived when I was younger. I didn’t grow up going to the happiest place on Earth. I grew up in the Philippines reading story books, watching Disney movies and dreaming what it’s like to be in Disneyland. My dream finally came true when I was 16 and now that I’m a young professional in my mid 20s, of course I had to be an Annual Passholder. My obsession with mermaids on the other hand, I don’t really have a justification why I love them so much or I never outgrew them. The Little Mermaid is obviously my favorite Disney Princess. Aside from her forever hair goals and amazing voice, I love her creativity, tenacity and strong willed personality. She doesn’t take “no” for an answer. She doesn’t just think about things but she makes things happen against all odds. Because of this, she became one of favorite cartoon characters growing up. I could relate with her in so many ways. Just like her, I don’t like being put in a box or going with the flow, being told what to do or cannot do, I like to be free, to be creative and to go in lots of adventures. This is just the beginning of my mermaid wardrobe. I will be designing and posting more mermaid inspired outfits, so stay tune! What do you think about mermaid fashion? Do you have a favorite Disney Princess and why?

XOXO,

Joy

The pier house

For the past seven months, I have been one of those people who take the pandemic very seriously and have tried my best not to go out or dine outside due to safety precautions. However, when I was invited by The Pier House to dine in their patio right in front of Venice Beach, I… Continue reading →
