Reader's Corner: How to Iron Your Own Hair

When I did a review on my newly purchased flat iron
Prettybeautiful commented and wondered how to get around using this on your own as she seems to miss the back part.
Again, I am no expert on this but I am sharing "my way" on ironing my own hair.
Feel free to share yours!





Step 1: I create a "half" ponytail




Step 2: Clip it using any clip you're comfortable with




Step 3: Section your hair into 3 parts (Left, Middle, Right)




Step 4: Start with the middle section, start ironing your hair starting near the roots downwards



Step 5: You can go back from the top again, this time with a comb, so you won't burn your fingers




Step 6: Move to the left section of your hair, then right section (not shown on pix), repeat steps 4-5.






Steps 7-8: Let loose the clip, let loose some hair (not too thick) and repeat Steps 3-6 until your reach the top


Hope this is helpful!
That's all I can share for now.
Stay tune for more helpful tips from your smiley Askmewhats!

But I did my best!!! She's the closest I believe!

Hair Manicure....What????!!!???

I have heard about manicure, pedicures...whatever cure! But I was never familiarized with the term hair manicure!

I seldom go to the salon to have my hair done, I would probably go to a salon just for a quick hair cut/trim. I think I have been complaining so much about being tired and wanting to relax. I honestly did! I had a good massage with my mom on Friday night and I can't help but want to complete the "relaxation" process. This time I wanted to pamper not only my body, but my hair! I've been doing a self-pamper for months now and I think it's time I sit back and relax and let the professionals do it!

I had my hair done at the Korean Salon called Tony & Jackey. I am proud to say that I am one of those first few customers who had my hair cut done by Mr. Tony, the Sr. Hair Stylist, when they weren't that famous yet. But since the hit Korean movie "My Girl" was re-shoot by Filipino actors/actresses and had their make-over done in this salon. The salon was jam packed! When I say jam packed, people are waiting for 3-4 hours for their turn!

I am so happy I am a Girl Scout! I gave them a call to schedule for a hair appointment and I had my turn without problems at all!!!

So here goes my newly "trimmed" and manicured hair with color (I believe Brown). They've used Korean product for the hair manicure.

** sorry, no make-up, it's already around 11 something PM when this shot was taken

I think hair manicure is similar to cellophane or whatever hair treatment with different names they use. All they did was apply this brown colored cream (as I chose the color brown) and massage it onto my hair and leave it for approx 30 minutes. That's just it! LOL Of course they've used this machine thingy that emits steam. Blow dried my hair and had it trimmed!

That simple! But overall, I love the texture of my hair and it is shinier!!!

But if you want to save up?
Again, just do it at home!
I guess I am just too lazy the past few days!
(excuses...i know!)

Weekend Food Tripping at: Burger King (fastfood)

I am into health food. I am very conscious with what I eat not because I am dieting, but because I personally love to eat healthy food. But of course, there will always be times you'll be in a rush and you just want to eat what's new!

Yup...Burger King as a fast food chain isn't new but I've seen their posters on their new burger, and my hubby loves steak and he has to try this ! What a good wife to do??? Accompany him and enjoy the food as much as he does!

The Burger King came out their new burger called the STEAKHOUSE BURGER! To all international readers out there --- the normal burger size would look like this (photo below) in most fast food chains in Asia.

It surprisingly is delicious. What you've seen beside the burger are bits of crunchy garlic (yum) Steakhouse burger, cheese accompanied with a very soft and delicious bread!

WARNING: Do not order or eat this on a first date :P

My ultimate favorite: The onion rings! (mine mine mine)
Fries for my hubby LOL

And can you believe they serve cakes? They do!
They've got selection of chocolate cakes, cheesecakes etc...
I chose the Hershey's Sundae Pie

It's not an ice cream cake but it's made of creamy fillings.
You have to eat this quick as the cream tumbles down easily...

Just a quick and short update on something new we've tried.
By the way...Did you know that your askmewhats

HATES CARBONATED DRINKS?

Yup, I do...I try to avoid them as much as I can....
this is not a diet thing...
I just don't like the feel of it!

Tell askmewhats if you are into carbonated drinks!
If you are..... "shame on you" LOL
If you aren't.... "HIGH FIVE!"

HSBC Credit Card Gives Kenneth Cole Reaction

HSBC Credit Card (Philippines) had a promo for first time approved customers. A Kenneth Cole Reaction Wallet and Key Fob Premium.

What I did is to apply online, fax the requirements and after approval, accumulate Php 3,000 (approx $68.00) worth of spending. In which I did with my P&J Loot.

I was so excited to get this, but as I finally received this, I can't help but feel disappointed as the quality is not that good as compared to it's "brand name".

If you check the above photo closely, the wallet is not "aligned" and the key chain wasn't made nicely as well. Well..what can I say? It's FREE, but still...if Kenneth Cole put it's name up there, free or not, they should have made the wallet a better quality!

I just can't believe I applied for a new credit card just for this. HAHAHA I am a sucker for freebies! (who isn't?) And you know the funny thing? Just after I got approved, HSBC has a new and better promo! Free cellphone for approved customers! Darn huh? Oh well, things company do...

"Are you a sucker for freebies, too??? "

Oh well, happy weekend everyone!
I had my hair pampered...
Hair manicure....
a trim...
it was fun and relaxing!
