Dear rissa,
My bra straps keep falling off. Even if I tighten them, they still fall down while I move around. Any suggestions?

Why not opt for racerback-style bras? With this style of bra, the straps will never fall off. You can also try the Inti-mate Bra Converter (contact +63922-8021494 or visit www.myinti-mate.com). I chanced upon it while doing some shopping at the bazaars and I decided to get my own pack. Costing only around P250 for a pack of three (clear, nude, and black), this bra accessory allows you to hook the straps of your bra, transforming any conventional bra into a racerback style. Not only does it save you some bucks from buying a new racerback bra, it also provides added support and a push-up effect that enhances the cleavage. Yup, you can say goodbye to loose falling straps and unsightly bra straps peeking out of those sexy tops. This is a little accessory that will get every woman hooked.

It’s in the (tiny) bag!
When I go out at night, I love bringing one of those glamorous but very tiny bags. The thing is they are exactly that — tiny. How can I bring my wallet, my phone, my perfume, my makeup for touch-ups? How can I make them all fit in?

If there’s a will, there’s definitely a way. I love the challenge that comes with choosing to bring a tiny bag. It will teach you how to ruthlessly edit. It is quite simple actually, just break your essentials into their tiniest forms. My evening bag would normally hold the following: oil blotter, lipgloss, a credit card, cash held neat by a pretty money clip, tissue, a bejeweled mirror the size of a P5 coin with a handle, and the smallest, thinnest compact powder you can find. Leave at home the perfume. You really don’t have to spray yourself many times the whole night. If you insist, you can bring one of those miniscule sample sizes that they give away in cosmetic counters. Another option is, if you will be hopping from one place to the next, you can keep a stash of essentials in the car and you can refresh on the way to your next destination. Otherwise, just stick to the essentials really, you do not have to go without them for as long as you can find them in travel sizes.
All that said, you have to be reasonable enough to understand that a bag is there to carry what you need. Do not choose an evening bag that, although so pretty, comes in a size as big as your palm only. If you choose to go in that direction, what is the point really?

Arming Oneself Against Sweat
My problem is my underarms. They sweat heavily. I already used different deodorant brands, but none of them helped me. Do you know of an effective deodorant?

You can try using Tawas deodorant or the powder deodorant Milcu Magic Puff, which comes in a white round plastic case.
