Up do Bun That Stays

 

Hi guys!  

I missed you so much!  My life was such a whirlwind!  After a steady June, July was starting to pick up and get crazy because I am preparing for a lot of stuff for old and new clients.  I guess I haven't shared what I have been doing after being an HR Consultant for more than a decade.  

Ooohh, making it BLOG official!  I have been helping out brands on their PR And Marketing efforts and I have been doing this for almost 10 years!  Things got slow when COVID hits and lost a couple of clients who lost their businesses or maybe their business turned slow.

Thankfully, with God's grace, things are looking up once again and I am quite busy until this year end!  

That said, I have to look good even if I pull my hair out of my face!  :P  yeah, trying to make this transition smooth but it wasn't as smooth as I thought!!!  *laughs*

After trying out updo for so long, this is the easiest, and most of all, it stays the whole day and looks NOT BAD!  What do you think?

This type of updo looks well even with a bit of "mess" here and there.  That's the beauty of natural-looking updo bun!

You may add cute clips and ribbons based from your outfit and occasion!  

A quick tutorial I shared on Instagram reels.  I hope you support and watch it there because I am really inspired to share more of my tips and tricks in looking good no matter how busy you are!

Natural Curls with Flat Iron

 

I love curling my hair!  It is an instant mood booster for me so even while staying home, there are days I’d wake up not feeling so good I’d grab my flat iron and start curling my hair and a slow smile is starting to be seen on my lips!  #TrueStory

I mostly use my flat iron to straighten my hair and maybe create a nice curve at the ends of my hair (C-Curling).  For this particular look, I’ve done another easy method to create messy yet lovely curls!

Of course, in every tutorial, I’d add a tip or 2!  Keep in mind the blazer plays a huge part in hairstyling, it protects my body from the heat and possible accidents!  

Here’s a short video on how I managed to do this look!  It is easy! I. Promise you,  I did this look in 10 minutes less!

I hope you learn something from me!

Comment below if you have any hairstyle requests!

Have a wonderful Day!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

How to: Soft Curly Hair #AMWIGtv

This is my most favorite curly hair of all time!  When I started to learn about hairstyling, this is the first curl-style I've been mastering for so many years!  This is the easiest yet most chic and "any occasion" worthy hairstyle! 

This also enhances the color of my hair making my hair look healthy and shiny.

Enjoy this quick video tutorial.  Let me know if you have other hairstyle requests!

What's in a Summer Beauty Box?

I missed opening up a beauty box and get surprised by the various products inside.

That's what happened when I opened The Summer Beauty Box by The Style Quarter.

Curated with best products for my skn type (Yes, I was asked what my skin type was), I got a box-ful of products I want to try at once!

Let's take a look what's inside the box!

BeachBorn PiggyLash Review

"Use Castor Oil ma'am!"

"Ma'am, iksi ng lashes mo, try mo Castor Oil."

I've heard those lines gazillion times, I always ask "Where to buy?" and ended up with answers like "Sa Mercury lang!" and I never bought one.

I guess it's the fact that it is housed in bottle and the thought of putting "oil" on my lashes.  Seriously: "Seryoso ka ba? Masakit yon for sure!"  was on top of my head.  You know me, I love beauty but I love myself more!  Why would I torture myself right? :P

So when I got myself a BeachBorn PiggyLash named so cute plus housed in a bottle that looks like a makeup and skincare product!  Why not?

I used it right away and fast forward to today, it has been a month already!  

BeachBorn Piggylash Lash and Brow Serum

It's small, handy and have a mascara wand that comes with it making is super easy to apply on brows or lashes.

A product inspired by The Muppets resident vamp, Ms. Piggy.

Caster Oil is an age old beauty treatment that has been proven to stimulate hair growth by up to 5x more.

We've infused our cold processed and cold pressed caster oil with Vitamin E for an added boost.  Apply daily before bedtime for lush brows and lashes.

5-Minutes (or less!) Hairstyle Video-torial

So I actually do a lot of makeup, skincare and haircare tutorials on my Instagram stories.  I call these #AMWIgStories and some of the most requested ones I put it up on IG Stories.  So if you have Instagram account, do follow me there #ShamelessPlug

I recently shared a super quick, 5-minutes or less hairstyle tutorial and alot have been asking me to post it on my blog because they want to easily look back with just a few clicks on the computer rather than scrolling and finding this particular video on IG TV.

Your wish is my command!  I shared it here!  My apology for a super amateur video but this is just me.....stripped away from glam squeezing some tutorial time while the kiddo is busy eating!

Please let me know if you want me to share some videos here!  Those that I think are worthy to share.  And oh, I do a lot of unboxing on AMW IG stories too so do watch out for that!

Share some love?

A hug?
A smile maybe?

Great day AMW friends!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

My Lips But Better?

And no, I'm not talking about a lip color but because of BeachBorn All Natural lip products!

Hairstyling Products I Love and You Should Try!

I am addicted to hairstyling products you all know it by  now!

You see me in straight hair, naturally-wavy hair, curly hair!  You don't see me having the same hairstyle for 2 days straight because my hair has its' own life too!  

Instead of fighting it, I prefer to embrace it and go with the flow!  But of course, going with the flow would be easier with the help of some hairstyling products/tools.

I've seen BeachBorn brand so many times over my friends' Instagram page and I'm glad to finally get my hands on them!  I immediately tried their Protect and Style products ---

BeachBorn Dry Shampoo (Php223.00)

BeachBorn Sea Salt Spray (Php185.00)

BeachBorn Sunset Spray (Php180.00)
