Celebrate joy!

They say that beautifully shaped eyebrows are the windows to the soul...  Ay! Eyes pala yun! Eto na talaga: Never underestimate the power of a perfectly shaped eyebrows :) I even saw this one quote which made me smile: All I want is world peace AND awesome eyebrows.. I may have laughed if someone were to say that out loud but the joke was half-meant... and I realized the weight of that statement the moment I came out of Browlab last weekend. I really felt that my entire face lit up after having their services! :)

When I came in La Creperie Boheme to have my brunch fix two Saturdays ago, I was quick to smile at the table of yuppies who smiled at my direction. I thought they were friends with Christine, the co-owner of this lovely resto, so I armed myself with an easy smile that seemed a little awkward at first, but was nonetheless sincere. That was the first sign that this was going to be a different-sort of dining experience. :)

When was the last time you did something new to your look? :) As for me, and pardon the selfie photos to follow, but it was just last Saturday, in the name of digitally permed hair! Woop woop!   I've had rebonded hair for more than two years already so it's high time to do something new with these tresses.

Yes, Etchosera talaga. When I first heard about this  online biz almost two months ago, I smiled and was a bit surprised with the name of the brand. I had to ask the person who recommended it to me to repeat the name just to make sure. According to its owner, Tiffany Uy, "t he name “Etchosera” refers to someone who possesses the power to blur the lines between truths and lies, leaving people intrigued." Humor-me much And just browsing through their albums, I find myself not just intrigued but even smiling at the name of each.  With names like "Charming ka teh?" for charm bracelets, "Hindi ako tinapa!" for koi-inspi red pieces and "Ambisyosang Dyosa" for neck pieces fit for a queen, this brand definitely has personality! And with branding, it is always good to cut through the clutter and be set apart from the rest.

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...

Oh boy, how I missed being pampered! It has been months since I last set foot in Enza Nails & Spa, so it was nice to be back last Thursday night. Enza Nails & Spa in Ortigas is a quaint  place along Garnet Street  (just across Robinson’s Galleria) that offers delicious pampering to both men and women. Yes, both girls and boys seemed to agree that we all need pampering from time to time, whether it’s a good ol' mani-pedi, a 30-minute head massage, or a soothing foot spa, it just feels good to be taken care of after a long day.
