Simple Hairstyles for Those with Hair Regrowth

So I am still staying at home since Lockdown last March.  It has been more than a 100 days (and counting).  I have cut my husband's and son's hair 3 times this quarantine and I haven't done anything with mine. 

That said, my hair regrowth is so long it looks weird whenever I go for Zoom  Meetings or when I am hired to do an FB Live.

Before doing my own home coloring treatment, I've done these quick hairstyles a couple of times and I want to share them to you!

Here are just 3 out of the 5 I created, doing a bit of teaser so you'll watch my short clip below!

I hope you like it!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

K-Palette Lasting Semi-Matte Lip Tint Sticks Review

Ohemgee I am so excited to finally share another bunch of lipsticks!  If you are a long time AMW reader, you'll know I post about any lip product on Mondays --- if you noticed, please comment below because I want to know you!  I love you! :x

Now back to the lip product that made me want to create a full blog post immediately!  I received these last week and tested them non stop for 1 full week before I decided to share my thoughts!  

Say hello to the skincare matte lip tint that I wished for - a MATTE lipstick that I can comfortably wear!  

K-Palette Lasting Semi_Matte Lip Tint Sticks 

Php795.00 Each

Available at: Beauty Bar, Lazada, Shopee, BeautyMNL, 

Zalora, The SM Store, Rustan's, The Landmark, Watsons and Chimes

K-Palette launched their first lip product 2 years ago, I reviewed the 4 shades they released and I find them hydrating enough for my lips I am actually using them until this very moment.  They are housed in a similar packaging and container so I am not sure if they totally phased out the first version or still sell 2 versions, if they do, it'll confuse the hell out of their consumers because they look exactly the same on bullet!  

But let's not worry about that for now as these 4 are right in front of my vanity area for a week plus (and counting!)  That means, I am obviously loving these!

According to BeautyBox Corp., the official distributor of K-Palette here in the Philippines, these 4 shades are made in collaboration with K-Palette Philippines with Filipinas in mind.  That said, I am expecting the collection to have at least 1 red shade, 1 red orange, 1 nude/natural lip color and maybe a pink?

Not Your Usual Work From Home Make Up Look

Dear AMW Friends, 

I got sick for a WHOLE week with cough and colds.  Can you imagine how scared I was?  (Gosh, I hate COVID-19)!

So back to my sickness, I was more worried about Kyle as he got sick first before I did!  I was praying so hard not one of us will get fever as I'll definitely go crazy!  Thank God my prayers worked and obviously, I am back at my feet to be able to create this makeup tutorial!

With a noisy 7-year old on the side "shhh-ing" him in between my makeup application, this came out okay!  Well, I'm kind of proud with how I look so I did a lot of selfies! :P  

So yes, I would TOTALLY appreciate it if you would read this post and appreciate it at least?  

TIME CHECK 1:22am, that's me...happily typing at wee hours of the night because this is my only quiet time.  Sorry son, I love you but you are a bit too clingy :P

As opposed to my usual - simple makeup look to enhance one's beauty.  I created a more defined, a bit darker makeup look because I think there are days or times we really want to look more made-up!  A look that would register well on both photos and videos - very HD-like!

I have hooded lids on one side of my eye and another one just alright, this is, by far, the best make up technique you can try if you are just starting out!  You won't make so much mistake with "cut the crease" or even finding your crease!  

AMW Wears: Nordgreen Philosopher in Gun Metal

I have a "thing" for watch.

I do not just plan out my outfit, bags and shoes, but I also plan the watch I will wear together with my outfit.  A good-looking watch would perk me up and add up to my style.

During lockdown, I got an email invite to try out NORDGREEN watches and I was a bit hesitant at first.  Hesitant for the fact that it is lockdown due to COVID-19 so I wasn't expecting ANYTHING to be delivered straight to my doorstep.  Aside from that, I am not really in the mood to shop for material things especially since I don't plan to go out anytime soon!  But this brand/company impressed me for so many reasons.  

Firstly,  let's talk about the brand.  Who is Nordgreen?

Nordgreen watches are Scandinavian Watches designed in Copenhagen, Denmark.  What I like about the brand is how they make the best effort to use recyclable and/or sustainable materials (including packaging) and I was impressed how they are socially responsible in helping people in need.  When click on their website , you'll see their efforts in helping Frontline Medical and Rescue workers by donating a meal whenever you purchase their products.

I like it when I spend my hard-earned money on a company that gives back!  I like writing about companies and brands with a heart.  

So I went ahead and scrolled on their site, their pieces are straightforward and up-to-date.  Nothing too fancy but the designs were up-to-date and right off my style!  

All About Hair Fall / Hair Loss #AskAMW

Early this year, I hosted an informative video regarding hair fall. I had fun interviewing fellow mommy Ms. Stephanie Lontoc, and she was very vocal about her experience and stress regarding this matter (thank's Stef!).

Speaking about stress, we are suffering a lot of stress due to COVID-19 and I wanted to put out this video because some of you may be suffering from hair fall/hair loss and is feeling at a loss regarding this matter.

I am glad I was able to interview a professional - Dra. Rica Mallari, Head of Hair Unit, Dermatology Center of St. Luke's Medical Center and a Fellow in Philippine Dermatological Society to enlighten everyone on how to deal with Hair Loss and Hair fall. (Part 2 video on the interview with Doc Mallari to be uploaded soon!) Please watch this video and see how Stef found a solution in a product that is FDA approved and made with natural active ingredients.
