How I Take Care of My Color-Treated Hair

I started coloring my hair even way before I started Blogging, that said, it is more than a decade that my hair has been exposed with harsh chemicals!  

I have been asked so many times by readers and friends on how I maintain the "healthy look" of my hair.  I said "Look" because I am sure my hair isn't as healthy as it was when I was in highschool but I can still say, I can run my fingers through my hair without causing me to tear-up from hair pulling and tangles.

That said, I will be sharing just some of the many secret (or not-so-secret secret) products that I use.

Way before I got an invite to attend an Yves Rocher hair event last year, I already mentioned to the brand how much of an Yves Rocher Hair Products Fan I am!  I have tried and used almost ALL their shampoo and conditioner variants (and please don't let me get started with my love for the Radiance Rinsing Vinegar, I spoke so highly of it my friends where joking me: "Ikaw may ari?")

If you ask me, all their Shampoo and Conditioners work for me but my favorite for my hair type is the Nutri-Silky Treatment Shampoo and Conditioner.  I repurchased so many times I deserve an award :P

Now back to my color-treated hair topic, I currently discovered another "favorite" hair care product from the brand called Yves Rocher Low Shampoo - a new way to wash your hair.

A Very Subtle Highlighting Powder

Strobing is super "in" since last year!  But as much as we love the "strobing effect" on photos, it looks really unnatural (and to some...oily) in person!  So the Queen of Natural-looking makeup (Yes, I hailed myself that! #walangkokontra) is on the lookout for the most natural highlighting product.  And I may have found one!

Catrice Cosmetics Limited Edition Strobing Duo Highlighter 

Php499.00

The shade says C01 Strobing Surpreme but I am reading it as Strobing SUPREME.  Could be a spelling mistake but it doesn't matter to me.



This is a LIMITED Edition product so if you can still find them at SM Beauty Stores, grab them before it's too late!

When A Lip Liner is Enough

Seldom do I use lipliner and leave the house and it happened when I tried the new L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail 6H Lip Liner in Red Wine.

As promised, L'Oreal said it'll give me that defined lips like a pro and I easily got that in just a few swipes!

L'Oreal INfallible 6H Lip Liner 

Shade: Red/Wine

Php400.00

Weekend Food Trip at: Sunnies Cafe

It is indeed weekend but I'm still at Row 101 Summer Pop Up bazaar manning a booth.  I deserve the best milkshake in town and so far, I found it at Sunnies Cafe.

The first time I tried Sunnies Cafe was at their first branch at SM Megamall with good friend Benebabe Kriska.  It was a positive experience that's why when I saw their branch at HighStreet, I've decided to bring my whole family there for a quick dinner date.

Salted CaramelSutra

Php190.00

Salted caramel ice cream, crushed graham,

 whipped cream, malted milk

One of the smoothest and silkiest milkshake I've tried to date.  I will definitely go back for MORE!

Crispy Tacos

Php270.00

Asada steak, fried quail eggs, homemade crispy parmesan taco shells

cilantro cream sauce.

A MUST order if you visit Sunnies Cafe.  One repeat order I did when I visit this restaurant and I won't mind ordering this all over again!  What made this super unique?  The steak, the crispy parmesan taco shells!

Thomas Sabo - A Perfect Mother's Day Gift

After Labor Holiday comes my favorite celebration --- Mother's Day and Father's Day.
I remembered how us "siblings" would pitch in to surprise my mom and dad Cake and Ice Cream.  "Surprise" is just a term because it was a bit expected every year!  It goes on and on like that for many years because that's all we can give from our allowances.

Fast forward to today, celebrating Mother's Day is definitely different with us being adults (with a job!)  But it never goes without "bonding" over simple lunch or dinner.

Because for us...the best gift you can give to someone doesn't come with a price tag, it just simply says: "I remembered you, I thought of you when I picked this gift."

And recently, I got invited by my good friends from Spark It! to visit the Thomas Sabo store at SM Megamall for a mini get-together with fellow mommies, and with just simple invite made me the giddy over being "recognized" as a Mom because we were told the event was all about Thomas Sabo believing the power of a "mom", or shall I quote them - "Supermom".  

*Supermom (dictionary) - "An Exemplary Mother".

"With that belief, Thomas Sabo is one with all the women in the world in making a mark by owning their own Bold Statements.  Highlightingn wins and celebrating victories are not made more precious when shared with loved ones and eternalized with a fine, timeless keepsake."
