Lifestrong Hairfix Review + Different Functions

I've talked about Hairfix products briefly as part of my favorites start of the year.  I specifically remembered mentioning it a couple of times because I was amazed how effective the product was in a single use and how inexpensive it was!  It was specifically a Fuchsia packaging called Keratin Straight and indeed, my hair was smooth and straighter than it normally was.

And since I can't go out for a salon session, I am so happy to receive these as gifts over quarantine period!  Who would've thought there were so many variants?  I only knew 1-2 but didn't know the brand expanded to more ranges based from the hair needs of each individual.

Hairfix Keratin Protein Shampoo and Conditioner

Buy 3 for Php199.00

I don't know about you but I have a kick whenever I see "Keratin" in a haircare product.  Keratin is a name for a protein found naturally in hair strands and using haircare products that has that will strengthen hair and keep hair smooth and shiny.

1 pack comes with a shampoo, a conditioner and a treatment.  You get 2x25ml of product each bag making it "sulit".  You can even use it 3-4 times if you have shorter hair.  As for me, I use all 25ml glory because I have long and thick hair!  The shampoo itself is non-drying and I don't have the need to pull my hair inside the shower.  My favorite part is the Conditioner, it acts like a treatment so I am saving up the treatment to be used once or twice a week depending on how damaged my hair is!

Watsons Help Us Work Toward Good Health and A Strong Immune System

Our new normal is all about good health and a strong immune system. My husband Keith and my son Kyle are two very important people in my life. I want to live a longer life for them. I have always tried to be healthy but being on enhanced community quarantine has only served to further highlight that. As we make wellness a new way of life, you can count on Watsons to be with you every step of the way. I get our vitamins and medications from Watsons, as well as our basic hygiene supplies like soaps and paper products.

Here are a few recommendations from Watsons on keeping your immunity strong and your family healthy.  Before ECQ, I have been going to the gym fairly regularly. I like being active because physical activity gives me more energy and it helps relieve stress. Of course, being active also means a stronger immune system and that is what we need right now. While we’re all staying at home, I still do simple workouts five days a week, around 30 minutes a day on my own. Then, three or four times a week, the whole family does short Kyle-friendly physical activities. Exercising with the family really makes me happy right now.

Cooking is another thing I love. Even pre-ECQ, I would prepare the family’s meals personally.  Keith and Kyle love home-cooked meals. They prefer my cooking over fastfood. These days there is a more conscious effort on my part to make sure that our meals are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Seafood, lean meat, dark green leafy vegetables and yellow veggies (like squash and carrots) are ingredients that are easy to find. Tea is a drink that’s rich in antioxidants. I’ve been enjoying Nutrabliss by Watsons Tea.

Simple Makeup Look for Mask Wearers

Hi AMW Friends!
I have done an FB Live for Make Up For Ever to do a makeup for mask wearers.  I used all Make Up For Ever products back then and this was actually done using random products I own at home.  

Meaning, you can do this makeup look using your existing makeups!  You don't need to use the same makeup products I used but please watch the video and follow my simple steps!

As much as eye makeup is the vital part of this type of makeup, I've decided to make it subtle still as a lot of you do not find applying makeup as a priority in these days and times.  As for me, I felt more confident covering my undereye circles and felt even more confident if I have a wash of color on my lids!  I picked a brighter eyeshadow makeup for this particular look because....everything has been gloomy since COVID-19 started.

Please watch my video and don't forget to subscribe my channel.  The video is simple and edited on the phone by yours truly but I hope my message will be heard and tips will serve a good purpose.

House of Lasagna Review

You know how Quarantine makes EVERYONE hungry?  And when you scroll through social media, you see a lot of people posting about food - whether they cooked it, baked it or bought it.

I remembered craving LASAGNA so badly I wanted to make one but I was out of ingredients --- literally no cheese inside the fridge and it was one of the most frustrating feelings ever!

Thankfully, with restaurants finally jumping back to the routine and opening up deliveries for people like ME who haven't gone out to see the sunlight since March 14, I knew that is one way for me to satisfy my cravings --- and support businesses at the same time!  I mean all sorts of businesses were hit so hard due to COVID-19!  

One Lasagna that I seriously craved for is the one from House of Lasagna - just typing the restaurant name brought me back to so much memories!  They have been around for so long and you know if you take a bite on their lasagna, it is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CALORIE!

As much as I love to order online, I find it a bit tedious for me to purchase and book a delivery service on my own - don't get me wrong, it isn't a hard task but for someone who's always on-the-go (yes, even at home), I find it super hard to book delivery services in my area!  So this excites me to share that House of Lasagna delivers with NO minimum purchase, FREE delivery just because they use in-house delivery service!  They cover areas from Quezon City (select areas), San Juan, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Makati, Taguig, Manila, Marikina.  If your location is not included, they will certainly accept courier pick ups and they are open daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm.

Today was a great day, I usually spend my time in the kitchen chopping ingredients as early as 5:00pm and prepare to cook around 6:00pm.  Because I got my House of Lasagna Beef Lasagna and Salted Egg Chicken Wings at tow, I was able to sit back and relax and finish Season 5 of She-Ra on Netflix with Kyle!  It was such a chill evening!

Beef Lasagna

Php1,650 for Whole Tray

One of the most delicious beef lasagna I had as of date.  It comes with a perfect amount of beef, Bechamel Sauce, Cheese and a whole lot of greatness!  Here's a serious reason why this is not any regular Lasagna - my mom-in-law who dislikes Lasagna, baked mac or anything that has heavy cheese feel on it actually called me to say --- she loves this!  She even asks for a second serving which is super unusual (I would call it a miracle!)  

Worth the calories, worth the price - hindi siya nakakaumay promise!

Dr Teal's New Products Available In The Philippines!

Pre-lockdown, my "me time" shower time runs 10 minutes max!  Why?  My son is waiting for me just outside knocking, screaming his heart out calling me because he "misses me".  

Seriously, when do moms have free time? hahaha

So now that it's lockdown and Mr. AMW is usually home, he usually got my back by playing with my son while I take my longer shower!  That said, I brought out all my bath essentials which most of them are expired!  *sniffs*

Thankfully, I was sent new Dr. Teal's body care items and I am stoked with the Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution, Body Wash and Moisturizing Bath and Body Oil!  I haven't tried their deodorant to be honest because I have been staying home so I haven't been using any deodorant as of writing.

I will be sharing my experience after using some of their products.

Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution with Lavender

This can be used for the whole body or just tired feet!  I like to soak my feet with warm water and a cup of Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt, leave it for 15-20 minutes and I felt recharged!  I love foot massages and usually go on a date with my parents on Foot Massage salon in QC, because of the lockdown, I had to continue my relaxation sessions at home!  Yes, it is possible!

 

I can't wait to use this for bath!

Dr. Teal's Body Wash with Pure Epson Salt

This has a very subtle lavender scent perfect for my shower time before I go to sleep!  I like to use a nice loofah with it and scrub my worries away!  Since I use scrub, I always like to hydrate or moisturize IMMEDIATELY after bath!  (Meaning, while in the bathroom!)  That's were the next product comes in.

Dr. Teal's Moisturizing Bath and Body Oil

Oil on summer? Well, it is nighttime and I usually sleep with airconditioner on so this is a perfect moisturizer after night shower!  I love how it glides onto my skin in a very OILY texture but it gets absorbed immediately leaving my skin soft and grease-free!  The scent is light and relaxing and it goes away approximately 10-15 minutes!   The oil does not get into clothing and I like the feel of my skin more than ever!  It is soft...like a baby!  (I am Serious!)  I guess for someone with dry skin, bath oils make a huge difference as compared to regular lotions or moisturizers.  The only downside is how the bottle gets greasy and how messy this could get during application, husband finds patches of oil on the floor which could cause accidents so better be careful and mop the oil away!

Again, I have yet to try the deodorant but Dr. Teal's is finally widely available in the Philippines and ONLINE!  

They are available at Lazada, Zalora, Shopee, Watsons and S&R.
