Simply Inspired: Whipping up delightful dishes and more with celebrity chef Anna Olson!

Welcome to my post about the "Inspired with Anna Olson" event held at my favourite Megaworld Lifestyle Mall, Eastwood! Here are more Meet & Greet videos... 

Since I cannot get enough of this gig (and because all my new and prospective clients for my hosting gigs always require seeing me in action, here's one last video below. You can also visit my channel on Youtube, which serves the purpose of documenting my adventures as an events host / emcee. I would appreciate if you can subscribe to my Youtube Channel too; simply hit up this link: Marylaine Viernes YOUTUBE Channel

Destination Foodspiration. I totally love being part of food festivals and events that showcase the art of food where I get to learn tips and tricks. I do admit that I am more of an eater and it's no secret that I'm forever a student when it comes to cooking. So glad to learn from the best; no less than Canadian Celebrity Chef Anna Olson! 

It was a huge crowd and most of them were hungry to see Chef Anna Olson!  

One thing you know I love about being an events emcee is that I get to glam up! This was the best look I can do considering I came from another hosting gig (Thank you, Lord for the tons of work coming my way) and I had to get my brother to drive me in a motorcycle so I can make it to this event in only less than a hour window. If I drove or took a cab, it would take me 2 hours or so! Whew! Just thinking back about this day makes me so stressed and frantic! 

Before the event or before we unveiled our star, Chef Anna Olson, I also got to cook alongside the handsome and talented chef of Soban Korean Grill, who was a bit shy... hope I made him a wee bit comfortable. I do the talking, he does the cooking! 

And we made Japchae, a famous Korean dish, too! Check it out! 

 The Language of Love and Food: I was so amazed at how jam-packed this event was! Everyone there came for the love of food and their favorite celebrity Chef! 

 And now, let's walk back before this event actually started... The crazy ingredients to an appetisingly fun event! First my briefing. As mentioned above, I came from another event, a brand launch for Detail Makeover & Cosmetix Unlimited Branch Launch so it was a whirlwind from the introductions, briefings, instructions to the stage! Had to calm myself down from all the hype and excitement before going up onstage... Caption my photo below, LOL: 

Inspiration with no expiration. I absolutely love being an events host and I want to do this for as long as I can. Apart from earning a lot from this, having a reason to glam up, now I am starting to see what matters most about it: growing in knowledge and in relationships! So glad to meet and nurture friendships through the events I am trusted to handle. 

My "Hey-everyone-I-am-so-lucky-to-get-first-dibs" photo with Chef Anna Olson before going up onstage, back in the restaurant where we were introduced then briefed...

Thank you, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls especially Eastwood Mall (my fave coz I live near here and my cousin and best friend actually live here) for the honor of hosting this much-celebrated and well-attended event! More reasons to love Eastwood mall! My Pokemon catching family members agree for it's only in Eastwood mall that they get to capture rare and special Pokemon.  

Let me end this post by sharing a famous line by Pablo Picasso: "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working... " May you find your role in this world and fulfil it... I've always believed that God plants seeds in our hearts and lets them grow with the help of sunshine (hard-work and courage), water (integrity and honest persistence) and gentle air (humility and faith), may we all accomplish what we came here for!

Hosting the Detail Makeover brand launch: A world-class brand that is proudly Filipino at heart!

Posing at the Cosmetix Unlimited photo wall for the Detail Makeover brand launch. Guess you can see just how delighted I am to be part of this pink-hilarating rock chic glam affair!  

But first of all, a rockin' shout-out to my lovely ate / sister from another mother, the gorgeous Ms. Hazel Andres for getting me in all of her stints! And of course, a big hug to the warm and beautiful brand manager of Detail Makeover, Ms. Monika Deveas who is a superb mommy blogger too! I also got to interview Monika below. as she shared the product history.

Until now I can't believe that I was given the honor of being the emcee for the press launch of this marvellous event attended by the most fashion-forward bloggers, members of the press and we had sexy models in the house too! So let us dive into more 'Details' of this pink hot affair... 

 Every detail was well put-together. I felt like a rockstar, totally! 

We all fell in love with the black and hot pink theme of the event! A bit of black, a bit of pink, because Detail Makeover is targeted to a very wide age range and across all gender preferences. Cool, huh?  

And now, the best part: the loot! Thank you for these pink-tastically hot goodies. I swear these are world-class; truly the best less the unreasonable costs! Oh, and please note that these artsy and glam photos below were taken by no less than my super sister, Natalie, so please visit her blog too at "Take it from Nate" Blog (www.takeitfromnate.wordpress.com): 

Hot Pink and Black. Detail Makeover's packaging is simply exquisite and glamorous, truly at par with the quality of their amazingly world-class products and classy vibe, sure to bring out the rock star in you! 

PERFECTION IN A BOX. These are all the beauty tools you'll ever need. As you can see there are a ton of product selections, colors, hues and more to choose from, so get ready to go crazy beautiful, ladies! I have been using these products for a few of my events now and I am really so thankful not just for being given the chance to host the Detail Makeover brand launch, but to also actually be acquainted with these mesmerising beauty buys! 

Pucker up and kiss me. Don't these lippies make you just wanna pout and kiss? For me, kissing with these on won't work as the only love of my life, Godric Matthew won't allow me to kiss his cheeks or lips with lipstick on. But for my hosting jobs - these are perfect for my lips; they are matte, they stay on for hours and it simply gives me the confidence I need as an events host. These Detail Makeover lippies can certainly kiss your blues away, any day. Most of all, they come with a 'berry' yummy sweet scent too! 

Thanks for reading my posts; continue to stay beautiful inside and out; and do not forget to please visit these too:

And I am back once more for another Sew Magical and Sew Cute post account about my Lala-dorable, Lala-lovable and Lala-rriffic Meet & Greet party at Lalaloopsy land! For Day 2, I just cannot help but go lala over my Lalaloopsy land outfit for the show which I am so glad to come up with - thanks to old stuff in my closet and of course, the trendy outfits on my Lalaloopsy dolls which inspired me to make this look as Twist E. Twirl, made out of love and red licorice...
