Zebra Print Clothing

For some reasons, I am attracted to zebra prints. I simply like the black and white mixed with swirls. Oh, I am into laces too! They give me that sexy feeling, even when I am at my downiest.

Before my sister left for abroad, we went shopping to this nearby mall. It was my first shopping spree for the year. I snugged a few gorgeous tops and one of them is a comfy, cotton top with zebra print and a lacey back. Oh, I haven’t mentioned that I got it for about $3, right? It was a complete steal! I love wearing it with shorts. Now, you can picture my summer look already! 🙂

Now is the Time

Last weekend, I went out of town with my college girlfriends. We went to this resort in Tagaytay (the review I have yet to post). We used the vouchers I bought last year, as my Christmas gift for them but unfortunately, not all of us made it. Anyway, I had good laughs and it was a day-off well spent. The travel back home was tiring though.

I have one great takeaway from that trip. We were lazing around in the evening after dinner. I have not seen them for more than a year so I was really catching up. We talked about a lot of things: brazilian waxing, cavitation and radio frequency treatments, make-up tips and tricks, skin care products that works (including their best anti wrinkle cream), love life, family stuff, future plans and a lot more. Apart from talking non-stop, we also took a lot of pictures. And in the process, I realized that I lost my angle.

Permanent Blow Dry

A few months ago, as I was scanning my notifications from various group buying sites, I saw a deal that offers permanent blow dry. For someone who has straight but unmanageable hair like me, blow dry is the way to go if I want to have a nice volume. I had my hair rebonded December of 2010 and have not undergone any treatment since then. Recently, I had my hair cut short and now it is giving me tons of insecurities! LOL. My hair just don’t dry well and I end up having fly-away strands here and there. But I do not want to have it rebonded anymore because I figured, I do not want a very straight hair. I simply want a hair style that is not frizzy and buhaghag.

I did not bother so search my mails for that deal because it will be pointless, the deal is over for sure. So I checked Mr. G, hoping to find a new deal. But after reading on what it does, I think I will not go for it anymore. From what I read, the chemical used in this treatment contains high levels of formaldehyde and is seriously risky. Even the salon professionals who use them do not even know that! I was really scared as I was reading up on it in the forum thread I found. Be vigilant with every deal that you will purchase. If you have availed of this treatment, let us know how is it and if what was written is true.

As for my hair and the insecurities it is giving me, I will just wait for it to pass. Hahaha!
