Fashionable Weekend

Watching (Like, Really Watching) Beauty and the Beast

You know how there are shows you treat as background noise? Like something you watch while fixing your baon, cleaning your closet, or doing your nails? We at the Candy HQ call them "nail polish shows" because we spend more time looking at our digits (or other stuff) than the screen. Sorry, Lana Lang, but Beauty and the Beast is one of my top nail polish shows. (See also: Hart of Dixie, 90210.) Just for kicks, I tried watching the latest episode sans nail polish et al.

Love that they opened the show with "Punching in a Dream" by The Naked and Famous, which I first heard on the aca-awesome Pitch Perfect.
Seriously, Vincent is the least beastly beast ever.
Uyyy, holding hands. I never noticed how wholesome they are until Macy pointed out that it's been 11 episodes and the most they've done is hold hands. If this were Gossip Girl, Vincent would be cheating on Catherine with her little sister by now.
Vincent: "It's okay, I'll call her (his ex) back." Burn!
Catherine: "You were planning your life (with Vincent's ex) for six years."
Vincent: "Six years and a childhood." Double burn!
Vincent: "We've (as in him and Catherine) hardly known each other for a few months." Triple burn! And all these in just one conversation! Now that is beastly.
I don't like Vincent’s ex a.k.a. towel dropper, but I love her red hair.
Towel dropper is stealing medical supplies to help people—I call it. AND THEN a few episodes later, we'll find out she’s a spy like Evan the cute medical examiner's new girl.
So this week's case is Who Killed the Rich Dude's Wife? I say it's the CFO. Those eye bags scream bloody murder.
Seeee, towel dropper was stealing to help people!
"Are my earrings too slutty?" #s***girlssay
Forget good cop, bad cop. Meet bitter cop, bitter cop.
Seeee, the CFO killed the wife! So obvious.
Vincent: "Alex is willing to give up her life to go with me... would you?"
Catherine: "Would she? If she knew the truth?" HA! Sassy snaps for you!

My Big Toblerone Valentine

I remember the first time someone gave me chocolates on Valentine's Day. It was a big pack my favorite chocolate. Chocolates are no-fail gifts on Valentine's Day. And now, giving chocolates is going to be much sweeter. Last January 29, Toblerone launched their early Valentine's Day gift for everyone: a sweeter way to say I Love You through their rose-stem pack. Now, every pack comes with an I Love You sleeve with a long-stemmed red rose printed on it.

Fret not, Candy Girls! We don't have to wait for a guy to surprise us to make Valentine's Day special. How about skipping Valentine's Day messages on your friends’ Walls. Instead, buy a pack of Toblerone and give it out to them? Buy one for that professor who motivated you to study harder and help dad to prepare his Valentine's Day surprise for mom. This holiday isn't only about the couples. It's mostly about the love around us. On the 14th of February, make it your duty to let your favorite people feel loved. Shout it out or better yet, say it sweeter with your favorite chocolate.

The best part of it all? You can win a 4.5 kg Toblerone Pack. I repeat, 4.5 kg of sweet, sweet chocolate. The Love Holiday has never been this big! How? You can join raffles from special gift hubs around malls or promos on their Facebook Page and on Twitter. P.S. Who knows, Daniel Matsunaga and Jasmine Curtis-Smith might even deliver the giant pack at your doorstep!

Tip: Casually leave this page open for your guy to see so he'll get a clue on what to give you for Valentine's! *Candy wink*
