Weddings and Things

So been very busy for the past few weeks and haven’t had the time to write here. Right now it’s 10pm and about to get ready for bed but thought of writing in here. Hmm.. Maybe I should start it with the wedding I’ve attended to last May 14. It was a great experience! I’ve only been to two weddings: that and the other one was when I was in grade school so it feels like it was a first time for me. The groom was my boyfriend’s brother and my boyfriend was the best man. The venue was at a church in Toronto followed by the reception at distillery district (fermenting cellar) the setting and atmosphere was nice giving you that chic rustic vibe. I wore a simple nude pink dress matched with a pair of nude shoes. Some pictures below and peace out! =)

My Hair Story

by Leave a Comment

Hi. So naturally, I have straight black hair and ever since I was small, I never really like tying my hair up. I would always run away from my mom and cry. Up to now, I still don’t like to tie my hair up but I don’t run away and cry just because of that lol! (imagine) Plus, I never learned how to tie my hair until I was in college because I had to since I was taking nursing. (Or maybe i just don’t want to learn..that’s different). So anyways, So you know my usual hair style is plain and i like my hair loose until I had my first heartbreak that I tried different hair styles, perm it, dye it, yeah try anything..just to feel good and look good. in short, I lost my hair’s virginity (heh heh!)

Moving forward, So my hair is no longer a virgin and after perming and dyeing it so many times, it became super brittle and dry. I had to go to salon for treatment and it’s too pricey (what i’m no rich kid). Lesson: It’s too expensive to have your heart I mean your hair fixed 😛 But no regrets I looked gooooddd hehehhehe. But yeah still never learned my lesson and worst, I became obsessed with hair dyes.. and I know it’s an unhealthy obsession. They say you can dye your hair twice a year and no more than that (ask an expert, I’m not one).

So from damaging my hair, i had to chop it off and made a promise that I will forever take good care of my hair. I get too scared of getting bald too because I noticed my hair is thinning probably because of stress? or could be the hair products. Any suggestions? So right now these are the things that I do for my hair:

  1. I started taking Biotin (they say it’s good for your hair but just a trial)
  2. I don’t wash my hair everyday (I know for Filipinos, this is haaaarrrdd) they say wash it twice a week but I’m doing it every other day because it’s torture.
  3. I had to use shampoo that’s suitable for my hair (I am currently trying the salon shampoos since I’ve had bad experiences with the commercial shampoos) Some anti-dandruff shampoos cause too much hair fall (from my experience)
  4. Every time I shampoo my hair, I use cold water and I count 60/1 minute
  5. I use wide tooth comb when combing my hair when it’s wet and I try to avoid using hair dryers
  6. I like using the Goody paddle brush to give my hair volume once it’s dry
  7. Plus the argan oil for hair to give my hair some love 😉

And my hair continues to live happily ever after…Peace Out 🙂

 

My Faves

One of my favorite things is the kate spade backpack i got as a birthday present from my ‘ate’. Actually its a bit pricey so i had to half it with her. I super duper love it that I use it whenever I travel coz it’s convenient to use. I never liked big bags since I am petite and I’m trying to just travel light. I only have a few bags (maybe 5?) since I feel you don’t need too many but there were times that it doesn’t match the outfit so I’d just be like screw the bag.. lol #girlproblems But yeah I am somewhat trying to just have what I really really need because as you grow older, you’d realize it’s too expensive out there so gotta save more. (wehh!)

My favorite watch is this swatch watch in gold. You’ll see me wear it all the time. for almost 4years, it’s still working fine i changed the batteries twice but it’s still in good condition. I get a lot of compliments from it by mostly men lol! I’m serious! even a stranger asked me where I got this watch. Also, I like how its multi functional because it looks like a bracelet and  at the same time its a watch. i really really like it to the point i wear it 7days a week. But yeah I only have 2 watches. Trying to be a minimalist yo!
