My End of the Year Nail Art

 

Happy Christmas and New Year!!

These are just some of my nail art designs for the end of the year!  It was simpler and easier than my usual ones but I find the designs and color to fit the happy occasion.


This nail art design reminds of of Lanterns.  The colors are very Asian.


This nail art design was inspored by sparkling decors for Christmas Tree!  I lvoe using dark brown base for a change instead of the usual Holiday colors.  I find this shade classy!


Lastly, totally unrelated to Holiday season but I wanted something chic and simple.  Flowers may not bloom in countries with winter season so I'd rather have them permanent on my nails for a while :D


Happy Happy New Year!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Heatless Curls Satin Rod Review

 

I have been seeing the Heatless Curling Rod Headband Silk Curling Ribbon Silk for the longest time and since I purchased some rollers from this shop that also sells the Heatless Curler, Although I knew this won't make it for me since my hair is stick straight plus I use a lot of hair treatment (and let's not talk about the heat in the Philippines!)  I still gave this a try because it costs only Php94.00 only!  



Here is the result of my hair after 5 hours of wearing it, just so you know, I spritzed my hair with water and curling mist, instead of sleeping on this, I just did my normal daily task and left it for 5 hours!  I just can't sleep with a whole blob of thing on my head!  



The leggings work better for me though and it felt more comfortable!  But if you are interested with the product I mentioned above, feel free to watch my IG reel on how I use it!

Holiday 2022 Gel Art

 

Hello everyone!
My nails missed you all!  Can you imagine how I used to do different nail art designs on a weekly basis?  That's almost 50 nail art designs in a year!

Since things has been super busy - very hands on mom, no house help to help me do chores so I cook a lot and work at the same time, doing nail art is a luxury!  

Thankful that I have home UV gel KIT from Cathy Kathy to help me create faster and easier nail art designs with no waiting time for drying!

Tada!


The shades I used are the following:
Base - Shade 17
Glitter - Shade 108


A quick IG reel to show you how it is done!

A Clinically Proven Solution for Melasma is Finally HERE!

 

Let's talk about Melasma.  What is it and what does it do to your skin?


melasma
A photo of my mom who suffers from melasma for years.

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or blue-gray patches or freckle-like spots you can find on your face or body.  Some are said to be in-born but you have to know there are some triggers that would cause it to darken further.  Triggers like sunlight, hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, the intake of birth control pills and using harsh chemicals on cosmetics.  These are just some of the many causes for Melasma to be more obvious.  

One example is my mom-in-law, she has a huge dark spot on her face and the dark spot was lightened all throughout pandemic as she was very religious in her skincare application and constant uses sunscreen.  But now that she is back to going out, her dark spot darkened once again even with the use of sunscreen, why?  Well, sunscreen sometimes disappears midday from sweat and constant wiping.  Even with the right skincare and usage of sunblock, preventing dark spots on skin may not be enough.  We also need to treat melasma from "within".  Just like how we take good care of our skin by applying various skincare products, we also need to eat healthily, drink lots of fluids and supplements.  Same concept!

I recently tested Pynocare and also shared a box to my mom-in-law.  I did a lot of research before taking such product.  And here are some facts that I want to share to you too.



PYNOCARE -

  • Clinically-proven solution to melasma and as a partner to sunscreen in protecting the skin.  It has 3 clinical studies to supports its effectiveness. You may read the studies HERE.
  • Pynocare reduces melasma or dark spots formation in just 8 weeks. 
  • Pynocare has MSCC or Melasma Skin Clear Complexion Complex Formulation that deeply penetrates the inner layers of the skin to help normalize melanin levels.
  • Pynocare is AN ALL-NATURAL treatment that presents NO SIDE EFFECTS.
The last statement gave me to courage to test this product out. Each Pynocare 40 Actisome contains Procyanidin + Vitamin C + Vitamin A and Vitamin E.  To those who wants to know what Procyanidin does for the body, they are abundant in dietary fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and grains.  It is a good source of antioxidant which can help clear out skin.
