I got the Christmas holiday day (long and wavy), the spring hair (short) and introducing my summer hair (really short). ahihihi...
It's just way too hot this summer I needed a change. 
Let me share with you how it went at the salon:

Korean stylist: "You have beautiful face (ehem, I, thank you). You are fashionable your dress. I dont             understand why you don't have nice hair"
(Luckily, I did not take offense. Indeed my hair was just not up to par)
He went on..."I give you perfect haircut for your head and face. I make you 20 years old today."

Hahahaha! One cool dude I should say. And I'm glad I trusted him. I love how the Koreans and Singaporeans do short hair. It may not be a wash and wear kinda of style (I don't have that shiny straight hair) but it doesn't take that much of a fuss to make either. It the help of a conditioner, it gets fluffy by itself. 
See you around friends!

I had to declare today a slow day. With the news of storm signal in the country, the skies are showing signs of heavy rains. Bed weather. On a summer vacation. Grand.
After finally putting back my make up and such to their places in the bathroom I decided to look up to hubby's side of the shelf. I realized I have not really looked at it for more than 5 seconds ever since! Time to get my spy on. Ahihihi.
Found a cute bottle. So it's been this. The fragrance he never uses in the house. Kids and I have developed severe allergies to certain fragrances that all of us have to stop using any. Except hubby. No sense dragging him into the fold since he just sprays on a little when already in the office. Although I still smell a bit of it when he comes home. Not too bad (strong) so I got curious. The bottle is too cool I had to take a photo. hehehe...
Behind it, I find this:


My unopened bottle of Lauren by Ralph Lauren. Wow...how long has it had been sitting there? Very long. Pre allergy times this was my most fave. (Next is Gio by Giorgio Armani, so babyish light...). It had been hidden all along in that shelf. I remember buying 2 bottles of it. One I used up halfway. Then the allergies came I had to give the used bottle away. But this, I have forgotten all about this. Hmmm...ebay? ahihihi...

For two days, kid,4, was obsessed with curly hair. She wanted her hair curled just like big sister! So curly it was going to be. But the curling iron is a big no-no (I have let my girls promise they will not do anything unusual with their hair until they're 20! ahihihi). We got my mom's old school pink and green curlers...


Little girl was happy...until she started to feel the itch, hehehe...





Convinced her the itch would just go away soon and her hair will be curly. She held on a little longer with the curlers...
We only had about more than an hour but she was just all too happy with the results:

I seriously stacked.
The Shalom Farms honey products!


Definitely a must have at every household. Forget insomnia, one teaspoon of honey makes this big baby to dream land in a heartbeat!
I usually take my honey before breakfast for stamina. Endless commuting and shooting, I surely need the boost. Don't even get me started with the throat spray. My hubby swears by it. (I put on my kid's cuts and insect bites, hehehe. Just don't forget to wash it off later...)
Hubby's honey soap was laying around. I have not used the soap so I gave it a go. Well, it's a keeper!!! No matter how the label says "moisturizes" on them commercial facial washes, not to mention, expensive, the more sensitive skin around my mouth and eyebrows always get ugly flaky dry after a few minutes. But lo and behold! No dryness in sight after the HONEY SOAP!!! At P70 a piece, who can resist. Hmmm...online shopping, here I come!



Yep, she swears by them too.

Everyone an avid fan.

You can find them at Sulit.com

WHOA...1 MILLION SUBSCIRBERS!!!

My fave no.1 beauty stylist in youtube has reached the 1 millionth subscriber mark!!! Tsssaaaaraannggg: MICHELLE PHAN.
WOW!!! But then again, no surprise there. Among all the hundreds of make up tutorials I have viewed she is indeed the best (simple and quick). I always love the no nonsense stuff.

I bumped into her 2 years ago when I was desperately scorching, yep, that's right, not browsing, but scorching the internet for tips on glam make-up for a really important bash I was invited to. hehehehe. And there I discovered Michelle! I relate to her. Asian skin, brown eyes. Yep, I should be taking tutorials from her. And from then on, I was hooked. For every little Q I turned on to youtube for the A's. From another fave blogger I discovered she has risen beyond the youtube fame.

Another not so surprising fact is that I often use the same technique when I do post processing work on my portraits for clients. As it co-relates to the shading/shadowing styles of my college art teacher. Basically Michelle Phan teaches us enhancements. And she enhances pretty pretty well...
I love her!!!


Discover her...



She is my beautiful addiction...
