Penshoppe’s Ultra Stretch Jeans and Its Newest Ambassador: Gigi Hadid
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 3rd, 2016
I love wearing jeans, the only thing is, jeans aren’t always easy to move around in. Unless we wear the really baggy elephant pants (which I won’t), jeans aren’t really ideal for someone who just can’t sit still… like me! (heehee) Thankfully, Penshoppe just recently released their ultra stretch jeans! When they said ultra stretch, they weren’t kidding! You can do so much more with these jeans without sacrificing fashion! I personal...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

I came from a Catholic background so to me, preachers and priests were one of the same… of course I later on realized...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Camping is a whole different story, especially ‘coz I also love having a clean restroom to take a shower and just do my business. Hence, the closest I ever got to “exploring” nature was during one of my trail runs, or an ordinary trip to the beach (with accommodations...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
