Hairstyle Tutorial: Colorful Ponytail

 

Ahhh Remember my Scarf Bun tutorial?  I got positive messages about that tutorial and I’ve decided to share many other ways we can elevate our “bun” or “ponytail” since that is the hairstyle of choice whenever I go out!  With face mask and face shield, I’d rather keep my hair out of my face!  

Here’s a very simple probably a lot of you know this trick already but sharing anyways.  

A braid ponytail with colorful scarf!  You can use a colorful handkerchief if you don’t have a scarf!  


I also chose a colorful rubber band to complement it with my scarf!


I know videos are easier to follow through, here’s a quick one I posted on my Instagram page!

Orange You Glad You....

 

... you met me?

Well I am glad to have everyone here on AskMeWhats.com.  Through the years, there are so many ups and downs happening in my life and you can read them all here!  Mostly product reviews but I insert some personal matters once in a while and I thank YOU for being here.  

Who would’ve thought I started Blogging at the age of 27 and I am now 42 years old?

From a single girl to engaged, married and turning into a mom!  Wow, whoevere gets to read this years after, I hope you know that this Blog made me so happy!  This blog helped me through so many challenges in life and I hope you understand that having problems are normal, it is how we handle our problems matter!

So I felt like a teacher weraing this Orange long dress which I bought in Hong Kong and nevere got to wear this because I have been saving this for a nice occasion!  All thanks (or no thanks) to Corona Virus —- only my husband and son can see me wearing this pricey dress!  So a little bit of ROI - showcasing it here on my blog for more people to see! Hahahah



Have you tried wearing bright colored dresses like this?  
I usually wear bright colored dresses in shorter format - rompers or probably short skirted dresses!  This is a first and I am actually loving it!


How do you feel about my not-so-Nikki OOTD today?

Nail Art Tutorial: Easter Colors Nails

 

This year’s Easter, still stuck at home!  Thankful that my son got used to the lockdown life and did not expect much!  All thanks to many online sellers though and delivery guys, I was able to purchase plastic eggs and toys and create simple Easter Egg hunting at the comforts and safety of our homes.

Now on to my nails, I usually draw Rabbits or eggs but this time, well, for someone of age :P  I’ve decided to make it simpler, thinking about the exterior look of Quail Eggs (because I just cooked them with my Birthday Noodles!)  I’ve decided to use Easter Egg Pastel colors as base instead and use a simple mascara wand in creating random Quail Egg-Like dots!


What do you think?


Nail Polishes Used:
  • Girlstuff in Beach Babe
  • Girlstuff in All Dolled Up
  • Girlstuff in Lemon
  • Orly Nail Lacquer in Glass Half Full
  • Orly Nail Lacquer in Spirit Junkie
  • Orly Nail Lacquer in Liquid Vinyl
  • Girlstuff Nail Base
  • Girlstuff Top Coat



Have a wonderful day!

Natural Curls with Flat Iron

 

I love curling my hair!  It is an instant mood booster for me so even while staying home, there are days I’d wake up not feeling so good I’d grab my flat iron and start curling my hair and a slow smile is starting to be seen on my lips!  #TrueStory


I mostly use my flat iron to straighten my hair and maybe create a nice curve at the ends of my hair (C-Curling).  For this particular look, I’ve done another easy method to create messy yet lovely curls!


Of course, in every tutorial, I’d add a tip or 2!  Keep in mind the blazer plays a huge part in hairstyling, it protects my body from the heat and possible accidents!  


Here’s a short video on how I managed to do this look!  It is easy! I. Promise you,  I did this look in 10 minutes less!


I hope you learn something from me!

Comment below if you have any hairstyle requests!

Have a wonderful Day!

Sudio NIO Aurora Review

 

Do you still remember the first SUDIO I reviewed?  A beautiful WHITE Sudio Tolv was featured a couple of months back and I have been using it ever since.  I never thought of changing or purchasing a new one becauses I am very happy with the quality of the ear piece I got.

It was a wonderful surprise to receive the Sudio NIO Aurora as gift late last month because they are celebrating the launch of Aurora with Aurora Live featuring singer Sandro Cavazza!  He performed live t the legendary Dalhalia open-air theatre located in Sweden and I fell in love with his music ever since!

I was lucky enough to get to try and use the newly launched NIO Aurora during the online live concert and I am torn between using this and my TOLV.  

Both are equally beautiful in terms of aesthetic, I like how both of different feel whenever I use it!  To make decision-making easier for me, I use the Sudio Nio Aurora for workouts and during house task while the Sudio Tolv is used for online meetings and live streams (white color looks crisp, clean and more professional in my humble opinion!)



I mean, seriously, you don’t need 2 pairs but my son is starting to get the hang of using these as well and he always borrow my Sudio NIO whenever he listens to music too!  He must have gotten the music lover in us!





You have a choice, but all I can safely say that SUDIO is a great brand producing great products!  I have been using them alternately for  months and I never have issues in terms of battery-life, sound quality and CONNECTION!  I can easily shift from my ipad to laptop and phone !  I can move around the house without disconnection which was a pain for me in other brands!


Just in case, you can get yourself a SUDIO at 15% discount using my code “NKKT” at sudio.com (NOTE: I am not affiliated with the company, they just offer discounts for my readers and I happily share it here!)

Local readers,, shipping is not an issue as they shipped via DHL and delivered straight to my doorstep even during pandemic!
