Aside from this blog, I’ve been doing a bunch of writing gigs on the side and for work. Sadly, with my ever-increasing workload, I have to ease up on the writing gigs until… eh, probably mid-2012.

Here’s a list of what’s out there so far:

Spotted: At BPO Career Hub

Ah, the job that pay the bills (and my makeup). I work as the resident blogger / marketing officer / graphic artist / social media executive of the job portal BPOCareerHub.Com – which, from the name itself, is made specifically to cater for the ever growing sunshine industry. When asked what it is that I do, well.. I Facebook / Twitter / Blog and Photoshop all day. Though admittedly, it’s a pretty hard thing to sell (basically I’m selling the industry) and it can get rather stressful, especially coming up with ideas, it’s enjoyable, really (and I adore the people I work – and had worked – with). And until recently, I’ve been tasked to do a bit of Project Management. This is the culprit that’s been eating up most of my time and energy.

Spotted: Guest Review on Project Vanity

Project Vanity is the brainchild of Liz Lanuzo and I stumbled upon it a year (or so) ago when I was looking for reviews. I’m not new to the world of blogs and bloggers, but what I loved about Project Vanity is that it takes time to review products that are applicable to the local market and she doesn’t discriminate; she reviews both drugstore and high end brands.

I think Project Vanity is the first beauty blog that I really took the time to read and it became something that I check everyday.

Working as a social media person, I can honestly say that directing traffic to your site, fanpage, twitter account or blog isn’t easy. The World Wide Web is a messy jumble of images, text and pages that are linked together. It takes a lot of work to engage people and to get them to visit your site everyday. Liz managed to do just that. So when she picked me to do a couple of reviews for her, I jumped to the chance – not because I want traffic to my blog, but because it’s a chance to contribute to fellow readers and, seriously, just how many can say no when Liz Lanuzo BBMs you on a Sunday morning asking if you’re up for an afternoon of coffee and chatting with her?

After (almost) two weeks of testing the products that Liz gave me, my first guest review is up on Project Vanity [dot] com.

That's me!

If you’re wondering what I reviewed for her, it’s this:

DOVE BEAUTY MOISTURE FACIAL CLEANSER
