October 2009

Bonjour, Bella!

The recent turn of events have put us in a tizzy, don’t you think? The wrath unleashed by Typhoon Ondoy, the number of casualties are still increasing even as we write this, and video footages uploaded in the Internet or shown in TV just fills one with dismay and disbelief, right? Sigh…let’s hope that October will be better.

So, to cheer you up, your Belle de Jour sisters have come up with ways for you to lend a helping hand to your unfortunate fellow countrymen in need. Check out our Day Off section, which lists ways of how you can help, along with info and other details such as where to drop off goods for the evacuees, etc. Meanwhile, in Casting Call, we celebrate the Magna Carta for Women’s Rights in the Workplace by listing down why women rock in the workplace!

On a lighter note, click on Makeup Room. In this month’s Makeup Room section, we’ve got beauty terms every bella must know. And for those who do know what all those terms mean, well, consider it as a refresher course.

And finally, while the generally sentiment is gloomy, discouraging, and miserable, let’s focus on the bright side of October: Halloween! So in Runway Report, we’ve come up with a few suggestions on how you pull off trick-or-treating in a Hollywood get-up, based on your favorite celebs and style icons. Check it out!

Have a blast this October! Watch out for the 2010 BDJ Power Planner ... details to come soon *wink*

Love,

Your Soul Sisters
