Let Your Hair Do The Talking

It would be very nice to wake up with an already styled look, like waking up every morning with beautiful beach waves. But no, that’s not always the case when you get a perm. I have had friends who went to the salon to get digital perms yet they weren’t able to achieve those beach waves and they end up with old fashioned and super curly hair. They also revealed to me that having permed hair is not wash-and-wear at all.




If you want to go for a more funky and edgy look, going for balayage or ombre is a no fail hair style and color. It has been the hottest hair trends for a couple of years now and it does not seem like it’s going away anytime soon. Want to try it first and see if it fits you without committing full time? You may want to try using an ombre lace front wig first. Then you can take it from there.

Seven Gifts You Could Bring to a Wedding

Finding the perfect wedding present can be a bit tricky because you need to find something truly special for the newlyweds. If the bride and the groom are your close friends, it’ll be much easier to think of a something personal and inspiring. However, even if they aren’t your closest friends, you should still find a gift that they’ll truly love. Here are several ideas that might spark your imagination. 




1. For the music fans
If the newlyweds are true music fans, a music-related gift will be the perfect choice. However, a CD collection of their favourite artists might be a bit too ordinary. If you truly want your gift to stand out, you can find a beautiful vintage phonograph with a set of records. Not only will they be able to listen to music in a truly authentic way, but they’ll also be able to use their phonograph as a stunning focal point in their home.

Cebu 2018 Travel Diary: Havana By The Sea at Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark

I've visited Cebu three times in the past, but for me it was always only just a jump off point to Bohol or Siargao. I would just usually spend a day or day and a half in the Queen City of the South and I was not really able to experience this vibrant city. Cebu is probably the other city state outside of Luzon that is urbanized and equally progressive as Manila.





Although it is a metropolitan area, what I like about Cebu is that destinations where you can enjoy nature is easily within reach. Mountainous areas like in Busay is just a few minutes away from the city, world-class beach resorts in Mactan Island is just an hour away while Bantayan Island, Moalbal (diving site) and Oslob (whale shark watching) are just a few hours away.

Gamiss.com Haul #5 + Review

It's been a while since I've done this online clothing store hauls. I've stopped for a while altogether, for one, I already have so many clothes, some I even haven't worn yet. A few weeks back, Gamiss contacted me and offered me some gift cards for writing reviews of the items I bought in the past on their website. They clearly value the reviews may it be good or bad as long as it's honest. 




So I decided to get me a couple of stuff using that gift card and add a few of my own money to get all the things that I wanted at the moment. I bought a total of 7 items but I received the packages on different days thus I decided to split them into two posts.

How Wigs Changed Beauty and the Modern Society

Since the ancient civilization, wigs played a major role in the social scene starting from the Egyptian and Roman times. Wigs were used during daily life of the Egyptian royals and elites and also for major festivals and events. Ancient Egyptian hairstyles and use of wigs varied with social status, gender, and age. But the climate and medical issues also formed a unique influence when it comes to wearing a certain hairstyle or wig. Other ancient cultures, including the Romans, Greeks, Middle Easterns, and Mediterraneans also used wigs as an everyday fashion. Their styles and sizes often indicated religious piety and status in the community.





The use of wigs continued until during the 18th and 19th Century. During the Victorian era, the wearing of wigs as a symbol of social standing was abandoned. Although some women continued to wear wigs, most preferred to look natural. In the court of Queen Victoria, the ladies wore shorter fringes and headpieces with simple designs. Back in the 18th century, men's wigs became smaller and more formal with several professions adopting them as part of their official costumes. This tradition survives in a few legal systems like the ones routinely worn in various countries of the British Empire.

Hair Extensions Care Tips

Hair extensions are very popular nowadays among fashion-beauty lovers and celebrities. I would say they are an investment especially if one bought or had real human hair extensions applied on them. There are many steps that you should initially consider to determine what type, quality or brand of hair weave that you decided is best for you. You can go to the parlor and request for the method to be done into your hair but of course, you need to know what maintenance care you will do after application. After all, you shed a good amount of cash for it, and you don’t want to go wasting your money and not enjoying their full benefits and for a great amount of time.




Hair extensions can make you look good and stylish especially if you have chosen the right volume and length. So most women go for the natural one instead of the synthetics. A popular type is the Brazilian hair extensions. Since they are natural they are more beautiful to look at because it is human hair and it will easily fit to your type of crowning glory. They can last long because you can do some treatment on it as you like. You can color it, iron it or curl it and it won’t damage easily compared to synthetics.

Head-Turning Hair All Day Everyday

It would be very nice to wake up with an already styled look, like waking up every morning with beautiful beach waves. But no, that’s not always the case when you get a perm.

People say you can't have all the things that you want. But there are things that you can always get if you really want and put an effort to it. Beauty is fleeting but there's nothing wrong if you want to look good and presentable right. Say for example it's not so hard to achieve outrageously gorgeous hair. You would see celebrities with their outrageously beautiful hairstyles and you become eager to get it for your next hairstyle and request something as what you’ve seen on the cover of your favorite magazine to your hairdresser. Is it possible? Of course! I'm about to tell you, so listen up.

Cebu 2018 Travel Diary: The Abalone at Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark

I've visited Cebu three times in the past, but for me it was always only just a jump off point to Bohol or Siargao. I would just usually spend a day or day and a half in the Queen City of the South and I was not really able to experience this vibrant city. Cebu is probably the other city state outside of Luzon that is urbanized and equally progressive as Manila.




Although it is a metropolitan area, what I like about Cebu is that destinations where you can enjoy nature is easily within reach. Mountainous areas like in Busay is just a few minutes away from the city, world-class beach resorts in Mactan Island is just an hour away while Bantayan Island, Moalbal (diving site) and Oslob (whale shark watching) are just a few hours away.

This Is Why You Should Choose Natural Hair Extensions

A lot of women (even men) around the world have a lot of trouble growing their hair. Most of us want more volume and length and many if not most, are going for hair extensions as the right call especially if we need to achieve that desire in a very small amount of time. After all, hair extensions are the easiest, painless and almost no effort in this regard. 




There are a handful of hair extensions that one can buy and it can get too overwhelming. But for now, let’s look at these two types: synthetic and real. Synthetic hair extensions or wigs are normally plastic fiber that looks like hair strands. Synthetic hair extensions do not have the quality and appearance that real hair has. You can’t also style them, blow dry or curl, the way you want too as hey will easily get destroyed.

Treat Yourself to the Luxury You Deserve

If you love your home but have a feeling that it’s not giving you all the luxury and comfort you deserve, you’re in luck! You don’t have to relocate or build huge additions. Only a few luxurious upgrades will give you all the pampering and coziness you deserve! 
 



Brighten up your life  
No matter how well it’s designed and decorated, a poorly lit home will never look luxurious and feel comfortable and cozy. So, make sure to let plenty of sunshine in with large windows. However, while windows work amazingly well in the marginal rooms, they do nothing for the interior rooms, hallways and closets. Luckily, there are big skylights and skydomes that can bring natural light even to the darkest of nooks and crannies of your home. They are also a great way to provide additional ventilation. Some skylights also come with motorized shades, bug screens and rain sensors, so you never have to worry about too much sunlight or bad weather. 

The Big Bombshell Hair

Not everyone is born to have hair that is dense and thick; no one is ever really like, "I woke up like this" looking like a Victoria's Secret model just fresh off the runway. That is never a reality. I mean seriously people, let's be real. Even the most beautiful girl who walks this earth will never say or claim that. 




Now what one has to do to give lifeless, limp, sad locks a new lease on life? Even better, achieve full volume Bombshell hair. I know for myself, I want something like that, not for everyday though but on occasions or when attending an important event. I know you want that too, right?

What Are the Types of Real Human Hair Extensions?

By this time if you're a regular visitor of my blog, you already know that I often write about hair extensions. It is something that I want to try ever since I've earned about them. But before I even actually buy or try them out, like any other wise buyer or shopper or beauty advocate, I want to be super informed about something before purchasing or using them. As you know it is better to be well-informed about something than later on feeling some form of regret about a certain decision especially when one can just look it up online and all the info is just so easily available. After all, ignorance is a bliss and prejudice is ignorance. 




So there are so many types and/or kinds of hair extensions. But as much as possible one would want to get the best and of course choose the real one than the synthetic versions to fully achieve a very natural look when one is using hair extensions. Thus here is a comparison between different types of real human hair extensions.
