Miracle in a Bottle: Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)

Image
     You know when your hair needs rescue ASAP when the hair ends start splitting, when baby hair sprouts here and there and when breakage is just one brush away!      Hey everyone! Here's a super cheap and easy way to revive dying aka color  treated, rebonded, relaxed and whatchamacallit hair! Ever heard of VCO? In my country, we use various natural ways of treating hair like mayo hair mask, egg hair mask and even oatmeal hair mask! I ditched the mayo, egg and oatmeal because they sound too messy and time consuming to do.      VCO (cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil), according to bio-integrative center, is the healthiest, most versatile dietary and topical oil in the world.

     Hey everyone! Happy new year once again! Now as all of you know, I've set some new goals this year for myself and one of the many on my list is to *ta da da da!* t ake care of my skin and hair  more  since... I'm not getting any younger. ಥ_ಥ      Last year, I only stuck with my usual 5-minute regimen ( for 15 years! ) of applying toner to my face (and neck) and then topping off with a moisturizer before getting some snooze. And that's that! This year though, I'm  going to take it up a notch. My manita surprised me with an iWhite peel off face mask during our 2015 kris kringle and I only got to use it last week! That's when all this skin care and hair care madness started. Enough about that... I'll tell you all about my skin care adventures in my future posts.  (>y<)      It's 2016!

Just Like The Others: New Year Ponders

Greetings from Venus! It's four days past new year and I'm still having a heavy holiday hangover. We warmly welcomed 2016 with fire crackers and we, luckily, were able to witness the more-than-five-minute fireworks display of Club Ultima (it's two blocks away from my place). The skies were painted smokey red after midnight but it was a sight to remember considering that my dad never allowed us to go up the roof because he was afraid of stray bullets. Since they've migrated, we (Lawrence, My sister and I) went up the roof and saw the enchanting balls and streams of lights. An added bonus, we finally had fire crackers this year! :) New Year, New Me! Not exactly. I've come to a conclusion that most people have the same new year's resolution every single year, so it's not really new anymore. lol Last year was a wonderful year and a lot of amazzzing things happened. This year, I don't really plan to transition to a "new" self because I...
