About Pinay Ads
Pinay Ads is a lifestyle blog founded in August 2008 by Iris Acosta. Originally created as a personal blog, it has since evolved into a comprehensive lifestyle platform, covering topics such as entertainment news, technology trends, travel, food, family, relationships, and parenting. The blog aims to provide engaging, informative, and practical content for readers who share similar interests.
Our Mission
Pinay Ads serves as:
- A platform for expression – A creative space where experiences, insights, and stories are shared.
- A source of reliable information – Keeping readers informed and fostering meaningful discussions through community engagement.
With over 12 years of blogging experience, Pinay Ads has built a loyal following of nearly 45,000 subscribers and followers across various platforms, including RSS feeds, Facebook, and Twitter. Over the years, it has gained credibility, leading to partnerships with brands, product reviews, press conferences, and coverage of significant events.
The Story Behind Pinay Ads
Pinay Ads was initially a gift from an online mentor who suggested using the domain as a business directory. However, Iris Acosta’s true passion lies in lifestyle blogging, which led to its transformation into a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and discoveries.
From its beginnings as a personal blog, Pinay Ads has grown into a trusted lifestyle resource, focusing on food, travel, shopping, and new experiences. While it does not claim to be an expert-driven site, it fosters a community where learning and exchanging ideas are encouraged.
About the Founder
Iris Acosta holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from Miriam College. Her passion for writing began in high school, eventually leading her to contribute to various online platforms before launching her own blogs. With an interest in a wide range of topics, she continues to explore and share her experiences with her readers.
Beyond blogging, she is also a home baker and the founder of WTF Cakes and Baked Goodies, a business specializing in custom-made cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other baked treats. This venture, launched in February 2020, remains a fulfilling and creative pursuit.
Iris is married to Montsch, and in May 2015, she embraced a new chapter in her life—motherhood—when she welcomed her daughter, Samantha. This experience introduced her to parenting content, where she shares insights, challenges, and milestones as a first-time mother.
