Hair issues, anyone?

Ever since I hit puberty, my hair has been one of my major issues in life. Yes, my hair! You see, I have fine, limp, wavy, baby hair. Meaning, its a disaster! When I was in highschool, I used to brush and brush it until it went straighter than normal. My usual morning routine before I go to school consists of having to air-dry my hair in front of an electric fan. When I have the chance to blow-dry it, I do. Thank God they invented hair iron these days! Also, the miraculous hair rebonding. I’ve been a fan, except when I’m pregnant or breastfeeding. 

I figured that with all harsh chemicals and stress I put my hair into, I should at least nourish it one way or another. I looked for the best hair vitamins I could find in local drugstores and beauty shops. I wanted a faster hair growth, so I had to consider that in my  search for options.It wasn’t easy, I tell ya. It was trial and error. My poor hair had to go through phases. No kidding! There were phases! There should be a hair rehab somewhere. I’d be the first customer. LOL

Now that I’m destressing both my hair and my body, I steer clear from products except the good ones. The ones that I’ve tried and tested in the past. I usually do my hair treatments at home. I get picky when it comes to salons I go to. I don’t like stylists who knows more than I when it comes to what I want for my hair. Do you sometimes get the question, “What do we do with your hair?” Then you answer, “I want it layered here and there.” Then they say, “It’s better if you do this instead. Let’s not cut so much. Just a straight cut in the back, ok?” Wow! I get that OFTEN! And I don’t like it. I mean, you can suggest because you’re a stylist BUT I still get the final say, right?

I wanna get longer hair now. I had my stylist cut it really short 2 days before I gave birth! Yes, hormones! Although its not bad actually. I’ve been on short hair for the longest time when I was younger. I just don’t think it suits me when I’m fat. Haha. 

So, what’s your hair like?

A new style for the holidays

I promised to write more on ladies fashion this time. Since my mom is currently in Chicago, and it has been snowing there since last week, I wanted to get her these Military Boots, to keep her warm. I’d also want one for myself but I haven’t got a nice outfit to go with it. I think its time to shop! Yay! 

Look at these divine boots!

I’m super loving them now! Very chic, yet not super feminine. Versatile too!

I was browsing through different fashion styles for an upcoming holiday event, where I can use the same military boots. Then I saw Cher Lloyd’s Style! I saw her one time on X-factor on Youtube. I’d say she has an unorthodox fashion style. But I’m loving it too! Look :

Now, I gotta go and find myself a really nice outfit and a salon that would get me that BIG hair she’s got!

Body Shop Vit C Energizing Face Spritz

I work nights so I need to be refreshed after work(methinks). I normally still do chores after anyway. Last year, I went crazy at The Body Shop in SM Megamall and bought myself The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz. This is actually just a short review on what it has done for me. The smell is citrusy and would easily awaken even when you feel tired and stressed out. Its a definite must when you still have kids (like me) to attend to after work.

I was sold on what the attendant at Body Shop told me. That it has Vitamin C, which I know for a fact, is good for the skin. And as per The Body Shop website, it helps encourage production of collagen, improves elasticity and helps against environmental aggressors. It also has moisturizing vitamin B-5. Not bad, not bad at all.
