The Rebel Bride in Dreads


Boy, oh boy. Do we have a treat for you rebels. Last week, we officially announced the creation of our new blog categories. One of which is Beauty which will focus on bridal beauty looks, skincare, and features focused on wedding hair & makeup artists.

And what better way to usher-in the start of the Beauty category, with real-life rebel bride Erin who had dreadlocks on her wedding day. Yes, you read that right--DREADLOCKS!

"Rising Tide"

For almost one year, the blog has been silent. But you guys never faltered. Views are up. Support from the wedding industry is overwhelming. Social media is at a turning point. 

One of these days, we will share with you the honest-to-goodness reason why we kept silent for a year. But for now, let us tell you that we are back with a vengeance. 

For a year we've been figuring out how to evolve the blog. And one of the things that we wanted to do is to expand the categories that we can write about. For one thing, RB Mica and I are exploding with more ideas that go beyond the usual wedding features. And on the other hand, we realize that other wedding details get lost in templated features which is not fair to makeup artists, or florists, or even the caterer. We also understand that you guys WANT and NEED to know more about these details. And that's really the reason why we've come up with a plan to develop new categories in the blog. Here's a rundown of the categories that you will be expecting:

FASHION  
All things wedding styling for brides, grooms, entourage, and even guests

BEAUTY 
All things related to makeup, hair, and skincare for before, during, and after the wedding

TASTE 
All things related to wedding menus, cocktails, cakes, and everything yummy in-between

DETAILS 
All things related to wedding bouquets, styling, tablescapes, invites, DIYs, and all the other details you want to add on your big day

TRAVEL
All things related to honeymoon ideas, destination weddings, shoot locations, and other trips 

And we will still have our current categories on features, concepts/ideas, and of course our infamous controversial write-ups (which we haven't done in a while but we have some eyebrow-raising musings coming your way)

And all the content for these categories are going to be expanded on Instagram and Youtube 

Along with these categories, we will also be changing the blog design soon. For now, we just wanted to announce that we will expand the blog's content and you will see the blog evolve over the next few weeks and months. 

It took us a year to finally push through with this idea. One of the hurdles was the fact that we wanted a total overhaul of our blog and brand right away. Which we are now understanding, is not necessarily a good thing because you tend to overthink and delay things and you miss out on the "now" and being present. The thing is, we've actually always had these types of content since we launched in 2011 but it just wasn't archived or deliberately communicated that way. At the end of the day, we've always been a personal blog, and with personal blogs it's inevitable to see the raw evolution of the space. It's more real, authentic, and intimate that way. So we are dropping the idea of a big overhaul and just keep churning out content as we slowly transition. So join us in this new journey, rebels. It's going to be one helluva ride once again.   

XOXO,
RB Kai 

PS. The title of the blog is also a foreshadowing of more things to come *wink*

Fun Bridal Looks to Try


In a sea of bridal looks centered on too much perfection and contour, we decided to collaborate with REAL Makeup Artistry and Quirky Creatives to put together some bridal and prenup looks that are more on the fun, fresh, experimental, colorful, and romantic side.

Rebellious Kilay


There's much ado about Microblading/3D brows these days. I got mine done by wedding makeup artist Mayone Bakunawa-Balbarin and I've been getting a lot of questions about it. So I decided I might as well blog about it. And of course, I will relate it to weddings, by concluding if this is something that we would recommend for brides, as part of your pre-wedding beauty preparations.

Rebellious Korean Pre-Wedding Skincare



Ask any bridal make-up artist on what they wish they could tell their brides point-blank and it would be, for their brides to invest in a skincare routine. Seriously ladies, makeup can only do so much. At the end of the day, you need glowing skin which you can't  expect concealers and airbrushed makeup to just magically do for you. In the first place, every woman should have a skincare routine regardless of whether you are engaged or not. But here in the Philippines, skincare is sometimes non-existent or just bare minimum for some. But there is so much more to just washing the face.

Spoil Your Groom


When we were wedding planning my husband was just as involved, just as excited, and just as special. In fact, my bridal gown designer Hindy Tantoco called my husband "the best groom-of-honor." And this was a conscious effort on my part as well--to make him feel as important because it is his wedding too.

Beauty Diary: True Colors


Hello Rebels! Belated Happy Thanksgiving!!! I'm sorry if we haven't updated the blog for a week. As perfectly captured in my photo above, I have been traveling. But that doesn't mean we haven't been taking the time to create awesome posts for the blog. In fact, I've squeezed in a photo shoot (and more will come) during this Portland trip just for the blog.
