It’s Britney, bxtch. I’ll always remember buying and fangirling over those 90’s casette tapes of JLo and Britney when I was younger. Attempting to sing like them (nope, no chance), dress like them (nope, too young) and lastly – have pretty hair like theirs.  Korean salon in Bel-Air, Makati I’ve always wanted highlights but people somehow made it seem like it might be too over the top or unnatural … until you meet the right people who know their stuff. I’m glad I did – at Gionyx! at Gionyx Hair and Nail Salon Above everything always, I’ll forever love the genuine kind service at Gionyx. I walk in on a Sunday and the salon is quite busy. I was willing to wait for my turn til the receptionist Joy noticed I looked sleepy (and I SUPER was! Zzz). She asked if I’d like to take a nap in their VIP corner and gave me some pillows. Believe it or not – I woke up 2 hours later. Deep sleep! They even offered me tea when I woke up! :))  Much needed R&R Anyway, now the pampering starts! I super love the service at this salon because 1. They only suggest…

Korean Invasion: Pamper time! Have you ever wondered why Korea is popularly known for its beauty products? I had some serious girl time in a Korean salon in Makati and I quickly discovered why – they know their stuff!!! Gionyx Hair & Nail Salon It’s Bel-Air’s secret gem, a hole-in-a-wall kind of place and I’m so happy for discovering it! The brand name “Gionyx” was created by combing the word “Onyx” which means nails while adding the “Gi” from Girl. So it’s really a must-try location for hair and nail enthusiasts! Let me show you why 😉 Gionyx Nail pampering area One thing’s for sure, Gionyx makes sure you will be pampered with Korea’s finest products. They’re the ONLY salon in Metro Manila who carries authentic Gionyx products (a wide range, I must add) ordered fresh from Korea! Gionyx is like Korea’s OPI if you know what I mean 😉 Private rooms You’ll love the intimate feel in this salon, as if they’re focused on you – and only you. The staff is very welcoming and Gionyx has private rooms incase you want some serious R&R. Clean and spacious environment No counters in this salon! It’s very spacious and clean.…

Life is a beach The beach is my happy place. I mean, everything just feels better when I’m there so I was ecstatic to get away for the weekend! Guess where this is? 🙂 Salty Hair (I slightly care) It’s really impressive what salty hair can do. It makes your hair mimic the beach waves and for some reason, it stays like that. That’s why I super love Blo Blow Dry Bar‘s Sea Salt Spray!  Blanc And of course, each suit should come with an equally stylish cover-up. I love this white one from Tarte Tatin! It’s so breezy! Yuki Tansengco Guess where this getaway is! Hint: It’s not too far from Manila. TRIANGL swimwear  I know it’s been really rainy so when my friends suggested a beach trip, I was crossing my fingers dry. Thankfully, it only rained at night while we were sleeping! Haha! Tarte Tatin white cover-up It was my first time to wear this dress and I was thinking: thank God I didn’t wear it Manila. The fabric is so light and it easily gets caught with a slight whiff! Perfect for the beach! Blanc Tarmouline Necklace I try to keep my accessories at minimum when…

Yuki Tansengco “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” I remember keeping that quote as my wallpaper for the longest time. It’s true, isn’t it? The only way we’ll grow is when we try new things – and that means going beyond our comfort zone. Big Hair, Don’t Care To be honest, I would always play it safe. When it comes to hairstyles, either RAZOR STRAIGHT or VS CURLS. Nothing in between because I felt like other hairstyles wouldn’t be bagay but I tried something different this time! Hair by Blo Blow Dry Bar I walked into Blo Megamall and Anton, our Session Stylist, asked what I wanted. Let’s go to town! Hair by Blo If we are friends, you’d know my hair is always straight. Not because I choose to keep it that way but because it’s really stubborn. No matter how much product I put on to keep the curls, it never stays so this hairstyle left me in awe!

Macadamia Natural Oil Sometimes, we focus on caring for our face and skin that we forget something very important – our hair! We face a lot of factors that may damage it such as the heat and the treatments we do. This is why I always find new ones to take care of my hair! Macadamia Muse I have been given the opportunity to try out the newest innovation – Macadamia Natural Oil! I was able to choose a hair treatment that suits my texture and see if it’s really effective. Macadamia Natural Oil – Deep Repair Masque For my hair texture, I colored it once so we tried the Macadamia Natural Oil deep repair masque to make sure it doesn’t get dry from the color. Let’s see the results! in Piandre Salon And oh – have you checked out the newest Piandre Salon in BGC? So lovely! Here I am with Jaton Zulueta of Piandre Salon. Macadamia Muses We all tried different Macadamia Natural Oil products! What do you think? 😉 Macadamia Muse During my treatment, I love how the Piandre staff was so efficient and well-trained.

Better Together: Eric and Stacey Wedding I couldn’t be any happier when my former Fancy Flats boss, Stacey Villanueva, broke the news that she’s getting married. “Finallyyyy!!!” I shrieked! Stacey’s an amazing woman so to hear her getting married? Such a lucky guy! 🙂 Hair and Make-up by Ham Viloria It honestly feels different when you receive a wedding invite from a non-family member. It almost brings you a sense of independence! You have to make arrangements for your own transpo, call time and yey – you get to invite a plus one! 🙂 Styling by Kevin Cusi So for this wedding, I got too excited to dress up (feeling may wedding role?!) that I asked two of my good friends to style and help me fix up. Haha!  Ten-tennn-tennnn! (2x)  neutrals and messy hair Neutrals. It’s the first thing that enters my mind when I think of bridal looks. Nothing feels fresher than a natural look paired with loose curly hair. That’s the look we wanted to achieve. Styled by Kevin Cusi I’d like to thank my stylist (naks!!) Kevin Cusi for this pretty outfit. It’s a cocktail dress but below the knee which makes it appropriate for weddings.…
