Beautify Your Hair with Human Hair Extensions

Since the dawn of time, women have been searching for ways for beautification. And when human hair extensions were invented, women all over the globe discovered the secret to looking young and beautiful all year round, at least with their hair. In the past, women spent hours adorning themselves with scented soaps, extravagant gowns and spent hours styling their hair in styles that only took a few minutes to undo. Nowadays it's still the same: women are still spending hours to look beautiful. The only difference between then and now is, as time changed, almost everything was more convenient and women have a wide range of accessories and beauty products to make themselves look extra beautiful without trying too hard.

Use of Adhesives to Apply Your Full Lace Wig

Full lace wigs are now commonly used within the entertainment industry especially with actors, actresses and our most admired celebrities. Because of that, they have now become the most sought out hair accessory in the world. Ordinary men and women are now using it for a variety of reasons from the use of a hair replacement system to fashion. Its use began in the theatrical industry to alter and improve the appearance of a character and bring the movie, show and cast to life. The undetectable nature of the system caught the attention of the medical industry as an alternative for patients with Alopecia or have lost their hair due to a medical condition. However the cost per unit was quite high, even for those that required the product, therefore it was only available for the privileged or the wealthy.

L'oreal Paris Sparkling Visible Color in Golden Nude Brown

I have never used any hair coloring ingredient on my hair - ever! I was always scared of the result. I remember that one episode from the cartoon, Anne of Green Gables, where she colored her hair green and it destroyed her hair so she ended up cutting it short. After watching that episode when I was young made me avoid all hair coloring chemicals altogether.

But now that I'm 35 years old, I'm more open to anything new. To start my very first hair coloring journey, I decided to try out L'oreal Paris Sparkling Visible Color in Golden Nude Brown.

L'oreal actually has 2 types of brown hair coloring, the Golden Nude Brown and the Ashy Nude Brown. Here's a guide that can help you choose which color that suits your skin tone:

Living in the Metro can have its ups and downs. On one hand, year-round sun and fun; on the other, sustaining your body for year-round sunning and funning can be exhausting.

No matter who you are or what you do in your life, you would be feeling thankful for the weekend to come!

Can't decide what to do? Short of packing your bags and jetting off to unwind in the picturesque gardens of France is to spend your precious few hours of pampering in the city’s best kept secret - French Tips Nail Parlour.

It’s a nail salon different from others mostly because of the way it merges eco-chic pampering experience with a unique French-themed ideal. From the moment you step in, you’ll be ushered into a luxe escape from the daily grind.

To sneak in a luxurious and eco-friendly treat at French Tips is to be catered to for a few hours. Here, you become a woman of leisure and nature that is doted on and attended to, where you can choose to zone out or chatter idly, depending on your mood and pamper without putting your health at risk.

The luscious scent of lavender gently ushers you to the gardens of Provence as you begin your luxurious, eco-chic journey, where you will be asked how you want a healthy French Tips to experience using toxic-free nail polishes, beginning with a luxurious hand or foot washing using all-natural soaks (all of which are designed to whisk you away and take you to a lazy sunny day spent in the quaint orchards of the French countryside using Formaldehyde free and Paraben free materials.

The interiors are impeccably designed to reflect the quiet luxury of France. Each element inside French Tips Nail Parlour lets you bask in the elegance that the country is known for—from the high back armchairs that invite you to sink yourself into the intricate details that pepper the salon interiors like the faux grass and white reindeer heads that adore its walls. The team, all expertly trained to provide the best possible eco-friendly service, are attentive and accommodating—all intent on providing you with a few hours to escape and enjoy this rare, but much-deserved opportunity to indulge in a salon which never use animal-derived ingredients in any of their products.

Here, the ideals of the country that inspired its aesthetic and brand of service are evident. Anyone is welcome to pamper themselves for as long as they want in the capable hands of their technicians.

Once you’re done, the experience will certainly make you want to wish you could stay for the entire weekend, but rest assured, you can always come back for more.

Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa Celebrates the 2nd Year of National Pampering Day #NationalPamperingDay

When it comes to ultimate pampering on a national scale, Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa holds the number one spot. After last year's success of the very first National Pampering Day, Nailaholics is back at it again this year with an amplified nationwide celebration of relaxation that everyone is looking forward to this October 17.

With pompadours on the rise, man-buns making its way on the street, perfectly trimmed beards and facial hair making a trend, it’s safe to say that male grooming has made its way to the spotlight.

Other than press releases, I've never blogged about a shampoo (for adults) before. I decided that when I do blog one, I'll make sure it's definitely worth it and it's a product that my readers would love.

Just recently, I discovered Symply G Keratin Shampoo and Keratin Deep Conditioning Therapy in Facebook. I immediately bought 5 sachets each in our nearest Puregold branch (retails at 6 pesos each) because I was mesmerized with the popular words, "Brazilian", "Keratin" and "Argan Oil" written on their packs hoping they could somehow improve my hair's current condition.

The Products:

Symply G Keratin Shampoo is enriched with argan oil which is known for its beauty benefits, especially for hair. Here is the description at the back of the sachet:

"Keratin shampoo with argan oil is designed for cleaning rebonded and colored hair, and giving its maximum moisture that makes your hair natural straight, soft and shiny."

Symply G Keratin Deep Conditioning Therapy

Keratin Deep Conditioning Therapy with Argan Oil is the second step after shampooing your hair. It claims to be a 1-minute treatment that aims to renew and moisturize damaged hair. Here is the description:

"Keratin with argan oil is enrched with argan oil words to re-hydrate dry and damaged hair. It is specially formulated for damaged hair and sensitive scalp. The unique formula is competent to penetrate deeply while protecting the cuticular layer on hair. Keratin with argan oil treatment gives you exceptionally soft and shiny hair."

Directions for Use:

Step 1: Shampoo with Symply G Keratin Shampoo with Argan Oil
Step 2: Condition with Symply G Keratin Conditioner with Argan Oil. For best results, leave the conditioner for 1 minute before rinsing with water. That's it!

I often let my hair get rebonded once in a while so I'm quite happy to find a suitable shampoo that I can use when it's time to wash my hair.

My Symply G Experience

The only hair treatment I had for the past 12 months is a hair coloring treatment and I'm currently suffering from dry and damaged hair. I was eager to try Symply G shampoo and the conditioner to see what it can do to my hair. The moment I opened the shampoo, I instantly smelled its invigorating scent that's very similar with keratin shampoos used in salons, and I just loved it. It also was very easy to lather all over my scalp and it gets bubbly easily.

On the other hand, the conditioner had the same keratin scent and its texture is somewhat similar to most conditioners in the market, which is thick and smooth. I placed the conditioner on my hair for 1 minute just like in the directions before rinsing it. I swear, after taking a bath, it actually felt like having my hair washed in a salon because of its lasting scent.

After naturally drying my hair, it instantly felt silky smooth presumably as a result of keratin and argan oil working together. Just 2 days of using Symply G, I can see the healthy shine that argan oil is known for. My hair also became less frizzy than before. So far, I'm happy with the result. It just proves that Symply G really works intensively to replenish my hair's lost nutrients and repair the damage. I'm confident that if I use this product for 7 days or more, it will definitely make a difference.

1st day (left): I felt my hair to be silky soft after drying.
2nd day (right): Less frizz and hair became more manageable

As a bonus, I'm also glad that my scalp didn't react negatively to Symply G Shampoo because I usually get dandruff when I'm not "hiyang" to a shampoo I'm using. It's been 2 days since I've used the shampoo and no dandruff so far (yey!). That's another plus for me and another point for Symply G.

Beautiful Wigs from Divatress

This is a sponsored post. All opinions/everything written in this post belongs to me.

MoTown Tress Wig - Amelia

I’ve always found wigs to be very stylish and fun. You can get to the experiment or play with how you look by simply changing wigs. I remember this episode from the TV show, Murphy Brown, when Murphy came to the office with a new hair style, a shorter one, everyone got really surprised and there are others who said they liked her old look better. Of course, they didn’t know she was only wearing a wig. Since Murphy didn’t like the reactions of the people of her new hairdo and it made her really uncomfortable at the office, she suddenly grabbed her wig and threw it away leaving her original long hair in place.

That’s the magic of wigs. If you start to get uncomfortable with how you look with your new hairstyle, you simply change it. You get the freedom to choose your style instantly. Luckily, people nowadays get to choose from hundreds of wigs with different hair styles and in good quality.

Choosing your Wigs

Choosing the appropriate wig for you is a bit of a challenge. You also have to consider your skin color that will match the hair color of the wigs. Divatress.com offers a variety of wigs for all types of women. They offer different styles of diva wigs for all men and women in all ages and any skin color. So do check them out and see their awesome wig collection waiting for you.

Frugal Fragrances That Fancies the Senses

I am the kind of person who's not very sensitive when it comes to fragrances. When something smells too strong for me, I turn it down. But when a perfume smells nice and all of my senses just like it, then I would consider buying it. The next thing I would check is the price if it's within my budget. Being a mother of two and has to rely on a paycheck to paycheck doesn't give me much liberty to buy luxurious things.

Surprisingly, there is an online shop that sells wonderful fragrances, yet, super affordable even for students. InspiredGiftsPh.com offers them and they sent me 2 fragrance bottles to test out:

Aeris (20mL).

Price: Php 180

Description: Captures a woman’s flirtatious personality with combined sweet scents of raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrant, magnolia, and lilies. Stays on skin all day and even longer if sprayed on clothes.

The description says it all. I can actually smell the berries mentioned without being too strong for the senses. This is something I would wear for romantic ooccasions.

May (30mL)

Price: Php 180

Description: This romantic and clean fragrance is made of a combination of rose aromatic oils and citrusy oils with hints of water lily, magnolia, white violet, carnation, and ginger. It is light, warm, and overflowing with positive vibe.

May highlights your beauty during casual and formal occasion. Its scent continues to blossom the longer you wear it.

May's scent was sort of sporty to my senses because it's slightly stronger than Aeris. I even asked my husband if he liked the scent and he said he did, but he also asked me if it's for men. I said, "According to the website, it's for women." I guess that tells me that this fragrance can be unisex (for men and women).

What I liked about both the fragrances were they smelled really nice and their prices are incredibly cheap. Plus, the scent really lasted long. When I sprayed it on my clothes, it actually lasted for 4 to 6 hours. Not bad for their prices.

Do check out InspiredGiftsPh.com (http://inspiredgiftsph.com ) for more affordable fragrances both for men and women. They also offer personalized fragrance according to your specifications. They're absolutely perfect for gifts to someone or just for yourself.
