I have been living in ponytail or bun for almost a year now. My hair is growing longer and I try my best to make it stay away from my face especially if I am outside. Less chances for contact with other people - the better.
With that, I combined my love for hairstyling and hair accessories and came up with this very simple ponytail style anyone can do!
How do you like this look?
Do you have other hairstyles for ponytail in mind?
Finally! Finally! I am so excited to share I finally found a way NOT to set a foundation to make it stay Glowing minus the oily feel and look!
Are you as excited as I am?
I am super excited considering I have dry, sallow skin. I always like the Korean Glowing Skin that I see on K-Drama but living in a humid country like the Philippines prevents me to look like a star!
Dear AMW Friends,
It is Sunday...I always think more about food on weekends. I’m not sure why, though I tend to rest more when it comes to cooking on weekends but I guess Sunday especially reminded me so much of family gatherings (Pre-COVID days) and we usually get together and bond over food.
After wanting to try Baguio Pechay Rolls for so long, I finally decided to go with it with a “Bahala Na” attitude. I worry mostly for the fact that I can make a mistake and I’m feeding not just myself but a family of 5!
My husband, my son and my neighbor in-laws! They are very picky with the food they eat so I have to make sure I don’t go crazy with my trial and errors especially since I only have an hour to whip out this dish.
But I managed....I actually felt proud of this dish that’s why I’ve decided to share this recipe.
Ingredients:
Happy Sunday!
I don’t know about you but True Beauty has a certain charm to me! I usually do not watch Kdramas that are ongoing! I dislike the fact that I have to wait weekly to know what’s going to happen next! Call me impatient - I am! (When it comes to K-Drama!)
This one was an exception. When I first watched some short clips on Facebook videos, I searched on the drama right away and watched Episodes 1-6 (the last was episode 6 for year 2020). I knew the drama could be superficial to some but it has deeper roots.
At the age of 15 or 16, I suffered from hormonal imbalance and had really bad acne. So bad I don’t have photos to prove because I disliked taking photos! For an extrovert to turn introvert and hide from parties and gatherings, I relate to the charater Lim Joo-Kyung so much that I cry whenever she cries.
I was never bullied like her but I knew the sudden lack of confidence when you are at that young age of highschool student - ahhhh I even remembered talking to my crush and he was literally starting at my cheeks ! I just want the earth to swallow me!
Even when I turn back time, I probably won’t be able to do what Joo-Kyung did, I can’t wear makeup for the life of me! Studying in a strict Catholic School, I’ll get kicked out faster than having a lovelife! *laughs*
But now that I’m way older, I’ve decided to play with the makeup looks created by the character because I love how fresh and natural she looked even if the character was known to have put so much foundation!
P.S. I never claim to look like Moon Ga Young the actress but I tried my best to recreate the makeup look of that particular photo! (Above)
How do you like it?
Hi AMW Friends. I have been in very good relationship with Benefit Cosmetics as a brand even way before they arrived in the Philippines. I remembered purchasing from online shops Benefit Box O’ Powders to Concealers and finally brow products when they were readily available locally.
Aside from great packaging and cute concepts, I can say, I love most of their product releases. There are a few that I can let go - just because they don’t work for my skin type, but I heavily rely on professionally (referring to Benefit’s POREfessional!).
But one product line from the brand I heavily rely on for personal use are their brow products. I memorize all Benefit Brow products like the back of my hand! I know every single releases and I know exactly how to use them even with my eyes close - nah, I am just exaggerating :P
