The Azure Salon Experience – Red Ombre

My friend Eka and I were planning to give our hair a makeover and we decided to get an ombre type of haircolor. So we browsed through some group buying sites and found a promo in Azure Salon. We bought the one that has 1 Base color and 1 Ombre color in the package 😉

Azure Salon’s promo found in http://www.ensogo.com.ph

After buying the voucher we called to set an appointment (it was stated there that you need to set one). When I called, the girl on the phone said we were scheduled on Friday 9am ( I was kinda bummed that it wasnt on a Saturday but I just thought that Saturday might be full ) So I agreed 🙂

Nail bites : J.Co’s Berry Spears inspired nails

Hey everyone 😉 here’s an easy nail art tutorial for ya! I did a “candy spun” technique in this one.

Okay. If you’re from the Philippines, I’m sure you are very much aware of the craze over J.Co’s donuts.  Like people would stand in line for minutes or even hours! Just to bring home a box of  goodie donuts.

They have a wide variety of flavors and what really caught my attention is the “Berry Spears” (the name of their donuts are pretty funny :p)

J.Co’s funny flavors

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to have some of the Berry Spears.. my brother ate it 😦

So.. I painted it on my nails instead. (Random ; p)

Here are the stuff I used :

  • 1 toothpick
  • BYS base coat
  • China Glaze Make Some Noise
  • BYS nail art lacquer in white

Nail polishes

Here’s the fun part! The candy spun technique :p

The thinner the strings the better ;)

The thinner the strings the better 😉

On a steel or plastic plate, pour your nail polish of choice to make a small puddle 🙂

Stir the puddle with your toothpick and wait for the consistency of the nail polish to get a little thick.

How to know when it’s ready:

When you dip your toothpick and pull it away, it holds a thin line of paint that connect it to the paint puddle. The paint doesn’t drop back to the puddle.

Now transfer the strings of paint to your nail! Just bring you nail close to the puddle.. dip your toothpick and lead the string towards your nail and let it stick on it 🙂 tada!!!!

A letter to your ex

Note: this is not meant for someone. This is a letter that might be applicable to some people’s ex 🙂

Me holding a broken round heart. Lol fail ;)

Me holding a broken round heart. Lol fail 😉

Hi,

How are you? I hope you’re doing well. I haven’t heard anything from you in a long time. I stopped stalking your Facebook account for (days/months/years) now haha so I don’t really know what’s up.

Anyway, I’m writing this letter because I think there are things that are left unsaid. I know we are in (sort of) good terms but in the past (days/months/years), I’ve realized so many things.

Things that weren’t clear when we were trying to work things out or when our relationship is going down the drain.

I’ve realized that we tried to make something out of what we feel for each other. We tried to give each other LOVE.

We thought love is something that we could easily give and understand. We thought being together was something that was meant for us.

Back when we were together it was, I admit, fun and I was happy. But the things we argue about was irreconcilable. We couldn’t give to each other what would make us happy.

I think that’s a big part of loving someone. Loving is giving. Like how much can you give or sacrifice for the person you love to be happy.. and I think we realized that at the end of our relationship. We gave each other freedom.

I want to thank you for that. Now we can go on with our lives and find the right person for us. We broke our promises for each other but I think those promises weren’t meant for you and me.

I wish you the very best of luck in finding the “one”.

Thank you for being one of the chapters of my life.

********

Okay! Haha like I said this letter isn’t personal. I just thought if people would really write or tell this to their ex.

I wanted to see how a person that has moved on would talk to their ex and be open about what happened to them and just accept the fact that they are just not meant to be together.

Would you write something like this to your ex? Or have you done something like this? What did they say? Share! :p

Or maybe just never talk to them again since their time in your life is over?

**not applicable to cheaters..haha!

“One way mirror” – a person in the friendzone

i stayed in the shadows
staring at you,
happy on the other side of the one way mirror
you ll never know my hopes and wishes
cause you only see reflections of what i want you to see

honey can you see me looking
through this window of pretending
sorry but i failed to convince myself
to stop the stream of my illusions

No need for interrogations
singing those alluring songs
was for my crave/starve for satisfaction.

afraid to lose the bind of deception
So i am keeping the secret
avoiding disaster
a classic act of martyrs

There are many right things
that I shouldve done but chose not to.
Instead, here i am
hiding behind a perfect view

Honey can you see me looking
through this window of pretending
afraid to lose the bind of deception
singing those alluring songs
was for my crave/starve for satisfaction.

😦

I wrote this way back then when I felt I was in the “Friendzone” LOL (arte :p). 

It’s about hiding and lying about your feelings to keep the friendship because you don’t want the person to walk away and have that awkward relationship 🙂

 

Have you had the same experience? What do you do to cope up with it?

Hair care products I currently use

Hey y’all!

This is a long one. (That’s what she said :p)

Anywaaay, here’s a little background story about my hair:

Here in the Philippines, most people would like to have super straight hair. A girl or a boy or anywhere inbetween, would go to a salon and have their hair rebonded. 

Basically, “rebonding” is having your hair straightened permanently. Like stick straight hair. When your roots grow out, you would have the treatment done AGAIN because your natural hair is showing. If you have curly or wavy hair like mine, then you would have wavy hair at the top and straight hair midway and all the way down.

So I vowed to (try to) NEVER have my hair rebonded ever again! And to love my natural hair 😉 (btw rebonding costs around 1000 to 4000 Php..so yea I’ve been having the treatment for about 8 years. Imagine the money I paid just to have straight hair.)

Instead of spending big money in the salon for harmful hair treatments, I have been searching beauty stores for effective hair care stuff and reading/watching alot about DIY hair treatments 🙂

Moving on to the products!!

Shampoo

organix renewing argan oil of morocco

organix renewing argan oil of morocco

What I like about this shampoo is that it is Sulfate free. It doesnt give you that super bubbly foam when you lather but it doesn’t make your hair dry and lose its natural oils. It costs 449 Php and I bought it at Landmark Makati. (Which happens to be the argan oil heaven, lots of argan oil stuff!)

Conditioner

TRESemmé keratin smooth

By far, the BEST conditioner I know and use. Period.

Oils

Since I have treated hair, it tends to get dry and frizzy. Here are some oils I use to prevent that from happening 🙂

Organix moroccan moisture argan oil

Organix moroccan moisture argan oil

I. AM. IN LOVE.  WITH. THIS.

It smells good, makes your hair shiny, doesn’t leave an oily yucky feel to your hair, makes it tangle free, not frizzy, etc. It’s like a miracle for your hair. (It does say miracle in the bottle. Lol.) It’s around 500 Php and it is super worth it.

ellips hair vitamin with argan oil

For the longest time I’ve been super curious about this product until one day I decided to try it. I bought the one that says it has moroccan argan oil (of course) and this is around 50 Php.

Surprisingly,  it is as good as the organix argan oil! It smells really good and makes your hair soft and no oily feeling too! Will definitely buy another pack. It is available at Watsons and also at 711 (how convenient! Haha!)

There you have it, my current hair products I use 💜 I will definitely post more hair topics like my hair care routine, my current hair situation, my diy hair treatment, etc…

Tell me what products you use to your hair or let me know if you have tried these products as well OR suggest awesome products in the market! I would love to try more argan oil!

See you soon :*
