How to Keep that Bridal Glow

I think one of the keys to being your naturally glowing self is to take good care of your skin and your body. Sans the make up and the many things that you can opt to do today, it really is important to go back to the basics. Having a good base is the key!





So days before my wedding, I headed over to Bianca Festejo Salon for my hair make retouch and for my facial. The roots of my hair were already showing so I touched up on that and I also had hair treatment! Win! 


Here's a quick tour of my visit at their lovely salon 2 months ago!



And can I just say that it's been 2 months after my wedding and my hair is still smooth and soft! I've done a lot of things to my hair in the past -- like rebond, perm, treatments and even the Brazilian blow out but this Keratin treatment was a lot like a blow out (so it straightens your hair without the drying effects of a rebond) but it has more staying power.

I thought it was just going to be one of those regular treatments wherein after two washes, it would go back to how my hair used to be -- but even now my hair is smooth and straight. Yaaay!

How about the facial? I tried Oxyfacial before but for this one, I tried the Photo Rejuv facial and as expected, my sensitive had red blotches right after which subsided after a few minutes. I didn't panic because my skin usually reacts that way at first but then it felt super clean and smooth after! 

And the best part? It's pain-free! My suggestion is to have this done at least 2 weeks before for the maximum treatment -- the girl who did my facial didn't prick my face anymore because it was already way too close to my wedding and but you can opt to have your face pricked if you want it extremely clean.

I've only had 2 facials in my life and both are done by experts at Bianca Festejo! Here are some selfie snaps of our special day!























P.S. They already have 3 branches in the Metro, and they have ongoing promos for all your beauty needs that will definitely fit your budget! :)

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC. And it shows the moment you enter one of the rooms. The s...

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine
