Zaful.com Haul #18 + Review

Happy Hearts Day everyone! How was your Valentine's Day? I hope you had a good one! I spent mine at work, gave out some simple V-day gifts to my team mates because I think and believe that this day isn't only for lovers but also for people that matters to you. People that makes your life worth waking up to each day: family and friends? Do you agree? Besides why only celebrate a day meant to remember love when you can do it every day right?

It’s also the Chinese New Year, btw. So gong xi fat cai or kung hei fat choi to all the Filipino-Chinese, Chinese and all the ones with Chinese blood all over the world! There were fireworks last night and our office was visited by dragon dancers! It was so festive!

Bundles or Packs? Which Hair Extension is Better?

Whenever I am asked what part of my body do I like, doesn’t like or if I want anything to change in my body, I always think about what I like about it first. Hey, who will love me but me right? So the least thing that I ponder on is what I can change about. 

But to answer the first question, So, to answer that question, here are the parts of my body that I love: my eyelashes (they’re pretty long and thick), my fingers (they’re not going to qualify for any hand model job, a bit webby but they’re long and just the right thickness), my legs (they’re not at all flawless but they’re well-proportioned and not muscular) and my hair (it is literally my crowning glory).

Gamiss.com Haul #3 + Review

Ciao bellas! How’s everything going? Well, can I just say that the first few weeks of 2018 have been crazy amazing for me! It’s a good sign right? Just last weekend, I had a weekend getaway to another city here in the Philippines. I flew with other bloggers to Cebu, an island city in the middle of my country. We just lazy around, ate like every 4 hours, did some sight-seeing, stayed at a beautiful hotel then in a waterpark resort. It was short but sweet. I was happy to have recharged that early and met a lot of awesome people along the way. That’s the first of my summer trips and there’s still more lined up ahead. 

While away on my work-leisure vacation, some of the things that I recently online arrived. And of course as like I always do, I’m sharing and reviewing them for you guys. This time around, I’m sharing my latest Gamiss.com haul. I’m only on my third haul from this online store, and it has grown to be a one of my favorite places online to shop for just about anything! Not only that this store sells beautiful apparel, they also offer items for home and tech. That’s why I got items aside from clothes this time around.

Hair Disaster? There's always a solution!

I seldom do have problems with regards to my hair and it is one of the best assets that I have, if I may say so myself. I also make sure to always keep it in tip-top shape despite the fact that I always put it under so many stress by dyeing it every so often and had it rebonded several times, blow dry, iron and curl it on a regular basis.

Although I have a few problems with my hair. Whenever I have it trimmed and the hairdresser takes it upon himself/herself to cut it to a length that I didn't tell him/her to and ended up way way shorter; it takes a long time for it to grow back or longer to the length that I wanted it to be. Also, my hair strands are thin and round which makes it hard to stay curly whenever I curl them despite putting tons of products just to hold the curls.

Summer Vacation Workout Tips

Are you addicted to fitness and simply cannot wait to get home from a vacation to hit the gym again? Even though it might be quite hard to keep up with such a lifestyle, nothing is impossible, as there are plenty of ways to exercise while on the road. If you’re one of those people, and have a booked vacation in the near future and don’t know how to stay in shape while there, take a look at these simple tips for the vacation summer tips:

Sightsee on foot If you’re visiting a place you haven’t been in yet, it’s completely normal to go sightseeing. Visiting all those museums and monuments, is, after all, one of the musts of any vacation. However, make sure to use your feet for this endeavour. Forget about taxis and metros, rather walk it out as it will be beneficial for your mood, body and mind. If something that you want to check out is quite far, use the metro but get out two stations away from your destination point and walk there. On the plus side, you’ll get to see the place in its true form and experience life there. Moreover, you can always ask a tour guide if there is a walking tour of the city. 

Blonde Hair = Summer Hair

Ahhhhh, summer, I can already see it peeking through, even though that these past few days the weather has been quite cold; I know summer is just around the corner. This has got to be my favorite season ever. I live for sand, sun and sea and endless summer afternoons. When it comes to fashion and beauty, especially talking about hairstyles and all, when I think of summer, blonde is what immediately pops on my mind. Not that the sun and salt water causes hair to lighten but because it’s light like the sun and its rays. 

The blonde spectrum is a vast one, there’s ash blonde, platinum blonde or the regular. Whether you want the ombre or the balayage, summer hair color is definitely shining bright and blonde all the way. Most people think that blonde only suits Caucasian people, but that doesn’t hold true not anymore. There are a lot of colored-skin celebrities that sport the blondest blonde you can ever imagine.

Everyone Is Still A Kid At Heart

Hey there guys how's everything going? I just had one of the best weekends of 2018! I couldn't be any happier that it's only the first quarter of the year and I'm already enjoying the start of summer! So I went to this waterpark in Cebu and had the time of my life with other bloggers. We had so much fun wandering around, swimming and exchanging stories and experiences.

The resort reminded me so much of Disneyland and I can't help but realize that no matter how old a person is, one will always be a kid at heart. There was this pool with waves and shallow because it is made for kids. It was decorated with cartoon characters and of course filled with kids enjoying the slow movement of the pool while riding floatees.

Celebrity Hair Whenever You Want It

I have always wonder why celebrities have super volumized hair when almost every one of us most often than not, have the same amount of hair in our heads or almost the same thickness. Even if I apply volumizer to my hair and curl it to the max, I still can’t achieve that Victoria’s Secret-model-super-volume-soft-curls-hair. Then I found that most of these celebrities use a couple of hair bundles to volumize their manes. Although I haven’t had the chance to use hair extensions to achieve that gorgeous and full of volume hair do but if given the chance I definitely jump right into that opportunity.



I always make it a point to look well-presented, whatever the occasion is and I always like trying different looks, for make up or for my hairstyle. So, if you’re like me and you are opting to somehow change your look, especially if you have shorter or denser hair, I think using hair extensions would be the way to go. 

Blackport Café: The Newest Travel-Themed Dining Destination

You know what people say, food and travel, they always go together, like peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, peaches and cream or chicken and gravy. With travelling, the gastronomic experience is very essential. Why? Besides experiencing the local culture (a huge part of travelling) trying local and traditional food relative to certain region is largely connected with that cultural experience. It’s always safe to say that food and drinks are so intertwined into cultural traditions. Moreover, food awakens all our senses: we smell, taste, touch, see and listen (while it’s being cooked) the food. We are in an amplified state of being whenever we are dealing with food, so it’s just logical that experiencing food while on travel increases the memories that we build along the journey.

Personally, whenever I travel, I’ve found food to be one of the deciding factors when choosing a new place to visit. My first agenda when researching about a particular destination is always where to eat or where to find the best restaurant that offers the best cuisine inhabitant to the place. I know, I have such an insatiable appetite and I am not ashamed of that. Haha! Do you ever get that feeling of nostalgia whenever you eat something, and it reminds you of a place you visited? I always feel that way. 

Mane Game Strong

My hair is one of the best assets that I have. I have kept it long for years because I'm afraid to cut it short since based on experience sporting short hair was never going to be flattering to my round face. I have tried to have it in layers, did have a full or side bangs every now and then; but that is about it.

But as for hair dyeing and all other sorts of chemical and heat treatments, name it I have done it! I’ve gone from black to brown to ash. I had Brazilian blow-outs and rebonding several times too.  That's why I am glad my hair hasn't given up on me just yet. I must say though that since it is one of my pride and glory, I always make it a point to take the best care for it.
