SAMPLEROOM BBQ AT WILSON'S PLACE TAGAYTAY

After 4 hours on the road (crazy traffic in Tagaytay), we finally arrived at Wilson's Place in Tagaytay for the annual Sampleroom BBQ!

Each year, Sampleroom organizes an out of town trip for partner bloggers so we can bond and get to know each other better while doing what we love: discover new beauty products! :P

This year was just as special with personalized touches everywhere:

According to Sophie of Sampleroom, it's their way of encouraging us to treat each other like family and to be thankful for all our blessings. ♥
(thank you Sophie! I'm so happy to be a part of this circle of wonderful women)

The day began with an introduction of Sampleroom's exciting new activities and brand collaborations for 2015. 

Some are old favorites that I'm sure you're all gonna be clamoring for to have for free! I can't wait to share but I can't yet so til then...stay tuned to sampleroom.ph ☺

The talk was followed by a delicious lunch at Wilson's Place main dining area:

We had salad, porckchops, chorizo pasta, shrimp balls, apple pie and lots more. The salad was my favorite, the greens were super fresh and the bacon they used was thick, crispy and without fat. Really delicious!

After lunch, we headed back outside to chill out, swim and have more food! ☺

Some of us used the time as an opportunity to shoot underwater with GoPro cameras that were lent to us by Henry's Professional Cameras for the day.

I didn't strip down to my swimsuit because I'm about to have my period so I felt bloated. (you know how that feels....:P)

I chose to relax under the tree i with a cold drink in the garden instead. ☺

I also did it by the pool...

I just lazily lounged around the entire day and took advantage of the much needed quiet time this trip provided me with.

As I was sleepily relaxing with one eye half open, I watched the others try their best to capture stunning underwater photos for a chance to win a Hurom juicer and some Instax cameras:

The SampleRoom BBQ was a welcome break from all the hustle and bustle of the city and I would just like to personally thank the people behind Sampleroom and our sponsors for making it possible! I can't wait for the next! ☺
