You might want to have some pampering experience, so what are you waiting for? Nailaholics salon and spa is now open at Unimart Greenhills to give you a relaxing trip to their salon.

Admit it guys, one of our worries when having manicure or pedicure is our nail paint. We wanted it to look nice and lasts long. Who else does not? It's a part of our OOTD. Here are some tips from the pros at the newly opened Nailaholics Unimart at Greenhills  on how to extend the life of your mani/pedis.


Make sure your nails are moisturized before getting your manicure. Hydrated nail beds cause less nail breakage and chips.

○ Always use a base coat before painting colour on. This protects your nails from staining and also acts as a great adhesive for the polish ensuring lasting colour.
○ Apply thin coats of polish with every stroke. It dries quickly and doesn’t cause bubbles.
Wait a couple of minutes between each coat to make sure the nail polish adheres properly to its base.
○ A horizontal swipe across the tip of your nails after your final coat, along the edge, seals the colour in and protects your nails against chipping.
○ If you’re rushing, dip your tips in ice cold water to harden the nail polish quicker.
○ To extend the life (and shine) of your manicure, apply really thin coats of topcoat every other day.
○ Be sure to wear gloves while doing the —water expands the nail bed and causes nail polish to chip.
○ Cuticle oil helps freshen up your manicure and moisturize your hand.
○ Be careful when applying skin care products. Certain types can cause nail polish to dull and discolour like sunscreen and mosquito repellents.

Make sure to keep in mind these very helpful insider tips from Nailaholics’ expert nail technicians or better yet, get them first-hand when you visit Nailaholics Unimart located at the Mezzanine Level of Unimart Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan City.

Hope you learn from those tips.

Wake up with beautiful lashes, you want to know how? It's easy to achieve your dream with Ooh la lash! Well, this is the country’s most trusted lash extensions salon.

Lash Extensions or some may call it ‘lash extenders’ are individual strands of synthetic lashes attached to your natural lashes one by one using special glue. They could be the best gift given to some of us who were not born lucky enough to have long, gorgeous, thick lashes. Since applying false lashes everyday can prove to be a painstaking daily beauty episode (not to mention the messy glue application) opting for a safer, more convenient and more natural looking choice is definitely the wiser move!

What preparations do I need to do beforehand? 
According to the lash experts at Ooh La Lash, you should:
○ Make sure to cleanse your eyes and remove any eye makeup or product applied as it may interfere with the adhesives and may cause reaction.
○ Make sure you don’t have the following conditions: Conjunctivitis, Cataracts, Glaucoma, Styes, Alopecia, Blepharitis or if your are undergoing chemotherapy.
○ You cannot have eyelash extensions if you have had an eye operation/eye surgery within the last 6 months.
○ If you have scarring to the eye area, eyelash extension service should be performed 6 months after the scarred area has been healed.
○ Contact lenses cannot be worn before and directly after the eyelash extension service.
If you wear glasses, don’t forget to bring these with you so the lash technician can make sure there is room for your lashes to grow.
○ Lastly, don’t forget to inform the lash technician if you suffer with claustrophobia or have any neck problems. They are well-trained and capable of answering any concern you may have.

You’d be surprised to know that there are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to lash extensions. At Ooh La Lash, you have the freedom to choose your curl, length and thickness. Go for Light and Natural (30-50 lashes)  for natural-looking lashes that would go unnoticed,  Classic  (51-85 lashes)  that’s has the perfect length and curl to add oomph to your everyday look,  Diva (86-130 lashes) for voluminous lashes with ultimate curl and length that scream va va voom! and Vixen (Unlimited lashes) for long and beaut-full lashes to die for.


Do lash extensions hurt?
Generally, it is not a painful process but it may be uncomfortable to some since they would have to close their eyes for almost an hour –But hey! As they say, “tiis ganda”. However, once you see the results – any feeling of discomfort goes away.  It would be best to consult the lash experts at Ooh La Lash to asses which kind of extensions are best for your lashes. Some might have thin lashes that may be too weak to carry a heavier extension.

If you still have any hesitations by now, it would be best to know that all products and materials used by Ooh La Lash are FDA-approved and are safe and globally-accepted and all lash technicians are certified by TESDA.

How do I care for my newly ‘vamped’ lashes? 

FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS AFTER THE SERVICE
○ Avoid wetting your lashes.
○ Avoid swimming or exposure to heat
○ Do not apply oil-based creams and lotions on or around your eyes.
○ Do not apply eye or lash makeup.
○ Avoid eyelash tinting, perming or chemical eyelash treatments.
○ Avoid sleeping on side or stomach.

AFTER 48 HOURS
○ Avoid excessive exposure to heat or steam when swimming, showering or exercising.
○ Avoid rubbing your eyes and do not pick or pull your extensions as it might pull off your natural lashes.
○ Avoid using oil based makeup remover as it can weaken the adhesives and might cause your lashes ○ to fall off fast.
○ If you choose to wear mascara, strictly buy the water-based type.
○ Do not use eyelash curlers.

The only ‘danger’ in getting lash extensions is that you will become addicted! After giving it a shot, it’s possible to want them all the time. Usually they are supposed to last three to four weeks and from there you can get them filled in.  Ooh La Lash also offers Special Lash Services that’s perfect for any type of extension you may have.

Oh! by the way, if you think that lash extension requires high maintenance, you can try eyelash perming. You have to close your eyes for about 40 minutes to complete the process. If you got a long lash, you'll see how pretty it will be without effort to curl it.

Would you like to try organic beauty products and services? Good dear, visit Hey Sugar and have a sweet experience.


You can try eyebrow threading! If you haven't experienced it yet, expect it will hurt a bit. Don't worry, you'll forget about that when you see your eyebrows on fleek. Other things, for fashion and comfy feeling, try waxing to remove unwanted hair.

Here are the top reasons why you should make the switch:

 ○ Less health risks
As said before, most of the beauty products available in the market today contain a standard cocktail of chemicals, which do more harm your skin than good. This, combined with exposure to harmful pesticides and preservatives used on the food sold in supermarkets, can give rise to a number of diseases.

○ Lower exposure to allergens
The chemicals commonly used in beauty products, whether to strengthen its effects or extend shelf life, can cause skin irritation and trigger allergies, particularly for those with sensitive skin.
Organic products may seem less effective compared to their chemical counterparts, but are gentler on the skin and has no side effects.

○Helps nourish your skin
Organic and all-natural beauty products are all plant-based. Meaning, the main ingredients used in these products come from directly from plants or parts of plants and come with nourishing power. In the same way that you are advised to eat your fruits and vegetables regularly to keep the rest of your body healthy, putting on all-natural products on the skin will definitely help supply it with much-needed vitamins and minerals to boost its health.

○ Better quality products
There’s a lot of effort and detail that goes into the production of an all-organic, product, if only because they want to encourage more people to see the benefits of going chemical-free.

○ (Almost) Painless Regimen
Waxing is arguably one of the most tedious and painful beauty regimens anyone has to go through, but through organic options—particularly sugar wax, which wraps thoroughly around the hair and allow for a cleaner pull, pain is greatly reduced.

This is where Hey Sugar! Waxing Salon comes in to save the day! Using only 100%naturally hypoallergenic sugar wax that minimizes side effects such as allergic reactions and chemical irritations caused by traditional wax— you get a gentler but no less effective way to keep your skin smooth and hair-free.

With its recent opening in the newly renovated Unimart in Greenhills Shopping Center – Hey Sugar keeps on sharing the “organic way of life” to more and more people in the Metro.
Drop by Hey Sugar Unimart and expect a clean and inviting waxing haven and leave it all to the hands of expert aestheticians trained to deliver the best sugar waxing services.

Who doesn't want to be in good shape? Being fit is one of the best we can be. Doing fitness exercise is certainly good, both in our physical and mental health. It's not hard to achieve the body goal, it's about making time to fulfill it. While in progress it won't be easy, but surely it will make you stronger believe me!

Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be. -Khloe Kardashian

It's hard to resist a yummy and palatable food, right?

I love eating, food is life! I know you feel the same way. It's okay to eat what my tummy desires to, but in exchange, I do exercise. I enrolled myself in gym to workout and improve my strength. Aside from gaining weight, I just felt like I'm getting weak doing lazy activities everyday.

I love running, well not a race if you think that's what I meant. I jogged every weekend for less or more than 1 hour before I decided to go in a gym (Snap Fitness). I tried at least thrice a week to do my workout routine now.



Let me share you some of my FITNESS ESSENTIALS.
When you do the activities, there must-have things you should remember.

Hey! Look at my sport outfit ↑, I always make sure that my getup won't mess my routine.
#1.) Dry fit shirt, to keep me dry and comfortable while working out.  
#2.) Leggings or sport short that would be functional for me. I want to move freely doing some stretching and right posture for muscle training. I choose to wear comfortable clothing.

 
I work out go in the gym alone, that's why most of my pictures here are selfies and screenshot from the video. It would better if I have a gym buddy, but doing exercise is about the initiative. How will I able to improve my strength if I can't even go by myself to be strong, right? It's about determination.


#3.) Towel
I'm moving! Sweating is my body's way to cool down. I don't want my sweat to splash anywhere, I have to wipe it and dry myself especially my face.


#4.) Rubber shoes
Wear proper footwear to protect your feet from any injuries. I have to use my running shoes to provide me a physical ease while doing exercise. I do cardio exercise (treadmill) for about 20-30 minutes.


#5.) Bottle of water
Water will help you to hydrate. When I'm the gym, I felt like I must drink at times when I'm tired already. I don't drink too much water, just relieving my throat from feeling dry.

Treadmill - first in my routine

To improve my arm strength

I do leg extension and seated leg curl with 24 counts

It's heavier than it looks like, for me.

Snap Fitness

Some TIPS when doing fitness exercise.
○ Do not overdo your workout, it takes time. Even how much you wanted to see the result of your work, it has no magic in just a blink to achieve your body goal. It would be better if you'll know what exercise you love to do so you will enjoy your workout.
○ Know your limitations. Do not insist the workout if your body will suffer. There are some alternative exercise. Search or ask!
○ Have a balance diet. Have a healthy meal, avoid processed food and junk foods.

Caution: Consult a physician before starting a fitness program. If you feel faint, dizzy or experience chest pains, stop your workout.

Having a self-discipline will make the result see faster. Love your heart, love your body, love yourself and other's will love you as well for a better you.

Which smartphone will help you show good looks doing fitness training? 

Not just good looks, but your best look, OPPO F3 smartphone are one of a kind. It's popular with their dual selfie cameras.


Though you're taking photos after a tiring exercise, beautify 4.0 will help you look fresher with natural effects. That's everybody wants, for sure?


OPPO F3 can carry and hold comfortably, it has a smooth texture  of the lustrous metal back panel repels dust. We don't want to bother ourselves bring a heavy phone in the gym, we tried hard to keep our things organize so we just bring those we really need.

F3 brings users two sim slots (4G sim card). It has a long-lasting battery (3200mAh). With 64GB ROM, wow a lot of space for my our favorite media and more selfie.

If you want to know more about OPPO F3, visit their website: http://www.oppo.com/.

Life sometimes seems to have fun twisting our lives, right? Up and down situations come to teach us. It's either we accept to learn or we don't want yet that's why some end up being in the same complicated state in life.

The choices are depends on how we wisely choose. Who are we to blame our life on others? You are living yours and it's your fault if you choose somebody to dictate your life. Still, who am I to say that? Yes,I might be wrong. Sometimes the decision to have a better life isn't always in our hands. The power and kind of life we dream of might need more steps before reaching it. The level of hardship you have to pass through is no joke compare to someone who's lucky enough to have an easy path. So what? You are you and your life is precious like theirs. The method may not be the same, but determined heart is stronger than any beliefs.

Eagerness can motivate someone.
Inspiration can change someone.
Your dream can be the key one.

Having goals can make you do better. No, it can push you to give your best. Your interest, your passion, your skills is all yours. No one can ever steal it. Don't hesitate and have courage to take the first step, who knows, it might lead you to have a good life.

You are hard working.
Dedicated to what you are doing.
One day, all your sacrifices will turn back at you in good terms.

Anything should not be about expectation.
Every little is worth something. We might not see the value of insignificant things, maybe not now.
There's too much to explore about life. So many things we have not discovered yet on our own.

What you have to do is focus on your dreams, not being a self-centered. Do what makes you happy. Stick with people who brings you joy. Have a positive mind. Have an awesome life.

Do not live your life with regrets  because of anyone, at the end, you cannot blame them. Everyone has circumstances in life. Learn to find a solution than worrying and fearing the day to come. Count your blessings instead. You are receiving gifts each day to be grateful enough. You are breathing, you just have to manage well your own life.

Another thing, our age can't define the worth of our lives. It has to be us to see what our worth is. You! Yes, I mean you. You are priceless, unbelievably great, you just have to believe what you can be.  Nothing is impossible! With God you can be whatever you dream to be. Have courage and faith, in yourself and of course with the Almighty Father.

Last Saturday, I went to Vivere Salon located at 3F Glorietta and got my hair a makeover. It's been a year since I got my last haircut, though I knew I already had split ends and lower portion of my hair are dry I decided to do nothing. I just love my long hair even others told me to have a hair cut, I don't care.haha

Copper color on my hair were almost a year and it's been almost 2 years, having a light color for my hair. That day, I'm ready for a change.

Sir Bryan Claudio - a senior hair stylist done my haircut, hair color and chose a hair treatment for me. He's been doing hair styling for 10 years, he knows for sure how making someone look better with hair transformation.


Here's my picture before and after the haircut. My long hair isn't too obvious here since it was in my back, you can see I have a bangs now. I had my hair cut a span of a hand. My hair is no longer so long, but I'm glad that it's still long. Thanks to Sir Bryan for cutting it just right, some stylist didn't actually listen to a customer for the span to be cut. 

I prefer to have a highlight color, but my hair strands are too thin for bleaching if ever I want to push it maybe my hair will suffer later, so he suggested other hair coloring that can be done with my hair. Sir Bryan asked me if its okay with me to have a combination of dark violet and red. He said the blonde color is common and I agree with that. And yes, its okay with me to have a new hair color.


He said he'll make my hair pretty so I trusted him. He has done a dimensional color with my hair. After the hair color, an intense hair treatment to make my hair soft.

I'm so happy with the outcome. I like the color of my hair. The violet seems to reflect under the sun (my Tita noticed the color violet). Indoor, my hair color is more on red, it can be noticed from middle to lower portion of my hair since the red color applied in that part.


I agreed with Sir Bryan advise for my hair, I love my hair and it's color. It's even softer now. My haircut made me look younger. The color is unique and my friends and relatives seems to like it for me as well for complementing me with my new look. After the makeover, Sir Bryan curled my hair temporarily as you can see on the left side of the photo above. The image right side was taken the day after (yesterday).

Sir Bryan makes sure to do the styling in my hair perfectly. He reminds his assistant many times where to focus and which part to apply the color. He's nice and gave advice how to take care my hair better until before I left the salon.


They offered drinks, it's kinda boring just to wait for more than hour every service they have to do. Reading a magazine and an iced tea while waiting before rinse my hair.



To Ms. Juliet and Ms. Rose, thank you for chatting with me while assisting Sir Bryan in applying the color and treatment.
