Simple Hairstyles For Growing Out Bangs



I have grown my hair to the longest length.  I am usually a fan of going to the Hair Salon for that much needed Me-Time.  But ever since Covid-19 broke, I am staying home 99% of the time!  That said, going to a hairdresser is out of question.

Staying home gave me more time to juggle work, motherhood and extra activities/hobbies like playing with my hair!  I have been practicing a lot on haircutting and hairstyling since I believe in constant learning rather than: “I already know everything!”

Learning never stops, even a 42-year old mom would say so.  

And if you are a long-time follower of my Blog and Social Media accounts, you’ll see these familiar hairstyles because I have been sporting bangs for TOO LONG! I’ve been wearing bangs 90% of my life!  The 10% would be me being a bald baby and toddler years then there was a point in my life (3-4 years in China) thta I didn’t have bangs at all!  Then the rest...you know how it goes!

So these are simple styles I really swore by!  There are days my bangs look so good I’d like to flex it, but there are days I’d rather tie it up with pins or clips because it just won’t go to the direction I wanted them to go to!  

These are my top 4 favorites and you’ll see more tips on video below.  

Note: These are all mega easy you don’t have to be a professional to be able to do these.

AMW Wears: Mom Jeans

 

So I have seen “BoyFriend Jeans” or recently called Mom Jeans A LOT!

On both Online shopping sites and fashion bloggers alike.  I mean, why haven’t I thought of purchasing one since it is High Waisted and perfect for moms who have a bulge on the tummy that needs extra hug and support?

GAHHHHH

I love it and I will buy more colors!  


I paired my Mom Jeans with a cropped Hot Pink top!

How do you like it?

Benefit They’re Real Magnet Mascara Review

 

Hi AMW Friends!

Let’s talk about mascaras, which I seldom talk about here because I almost never get to use mascaras anymore!  

Thankfully, with the launch of Benefit’s newest and innovative mascara called They’re Real! Magnet, this mascara changed the way I apply makeup - again!


Benefit They’re Real Magnet Mascara Review


Benefit says —-

They’re Real! Magnet is a 360hour lengthening mascara with a magnetic force that draws out lashes to Extreme Lengths, making them look 40% longer.  The innovative Extender Brush with magnetically charged core pulls the Magnetic Mineral Enriched Formula up and out beyond the tips of lashes for extreme length and powerful lift.  Custom-designed ZigZag bristles are strategically positioned to fan out, separate and define lashes

Year Of the Ox Nail Art Tutorial

 

Happy Moo-Nails!

Sorry for being late in my Nail Art Game!  I mean, it is technically still Year of the Ox so I have the whole year to create Moo-nails!  Hahaha

I have been so busy this whole February - Chinese New Year, Birthday, Final Exams for Third Quarter for my son and a whole lot more!  That said, I was able to finally sit down one evening and stay up until 1:30am because my son has a 4-day break!


Year of the Ox Nail Art Tutorial

I have to be honest, my nail aren’t on tip top shape for so many reasons - cooking, washing of dishes and a whole lot more!  So please bear with me.


For this particular nail art I used the following:

  • Girlstuff Nail Hardener as base
  • Orly Happy & Healthy Nail Lacquer (Light Pink base)
  • Orly Barely There Nail Lacquer (White base)
  • 2 Way nail art pens in Black and White
  • Sally Hansen Tip Gypsy (Medium Pink) for design
  • BarryM Base and Top Coat used as top coat
Here’s quick video on how I created the nail art!



Hope you liked this simple art as much as I enjoyed making this!

What’s your next art request?

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Easy Pho Bo Using @ShopSaigonMNL Kit

  

Hi AMW Friends!

I have been cooking a lot for the past year since pandemic.  I have done all sorts of dishes that I crave for because I’d rather slave in the kitchen than expose my family to the virus by dining out.

One dish that I always ended up ordering via Grab or FoodPanda is Pho.. I love Pho dishes, they are my heartwarming food that I tend to order especially on NO-Cook Sundays!  But ordering has its’ limits.  There are days I just want to conquer the dish and make it my own.

BUT HOW?

Vietnamese dishes mostly depend on various spices.  Spices that I do not have at home because I stock up mostly on Chinese, Korean and Japanese dishes.  

Thankfully, my friend’s sister owns a shop on Instagram called ShopSaigonMNL and they sell all sorts of Vietnamese goodies. 

And because of this kit, I was able to make this dish that is super delicious!


The KIT Looks like this —-

Php Kit (Php500.00)

I wanted to cook this for so many days back but I lack a couple of ingredients!  Since I already bought beef bones, I might as well start creating this dish minus the Beansprouts!  I mean, hey, it is the thought that counts! :P
