[CTO: First two photos not mine.]

I've been so intrigued when I saw videos of girls that were using this hair straightener that was said to have promising results. I definitely thought I needed one more than wanting it, because my hair is just a total mess. Besides it's a cheaper alternative compared to getting my hair rebonded at the salon. So, to cut it short... I ended up buying one online.

I got mine from @diybeautyshop on instagram and it came with a free rainbow brush. (FYI this is not a sponsored post.)

I don't use it that often since I don't have time and I honestly don't know how to use it by myself. I would need assistance and it's time consuming... Well for me. I'm one lazy lady. I decided to try it with my sister who has curlier hair than me. 

Normal hair. Yes, her hair was blue that time.

After using the comb

It does make a difference but the straightness does not look natural. I think it varies to different kinds of hair.

It does fairly well for its price. Although I think they need more product improvement. This comb should not be used by kids unsupervised since it turns hot and we can't afford burns even if it has temperature control. It's better if you comb your hair well before using it since the red ball like things tend to detach itself when your hair gets tangled up and it sorts of protect your scalp from getting burned. Mine already lost one and I don't want loosing anymore.

It comes with an instruction card and it's pretty much easy to use compared to other hair straighteners.

After using it I would still prefer going to the salon for a long term fix since this fast hair straightener is only for short term. My hair returns to its original state after a couple of hours. But yes, it does it job. It straightens hair.

I need more practice using it.

 

I heard a lot of good reviews of this place and I thought I must definitely try it for myself. And when I did, they did not disappoint. The place had a rustic feel to it that made it warm and cozy. I loved how it had a concept unlike other restaurants in the city. Service was fast and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Everything's good, although I suggest they put something to make place more enclosed. Since it's an open space and located along the road, many vehicles pass through and the dust and smoke comes inside easily. The parking space is also limited. I guess they didn't expect the flooding customers since the place is somewhat small considering the number of people who want to dine there. The second time we went there we had to wait for a vacant table. I guess its worth the wait. Good food.

We only tried out their best sellers (the gambas, buffalo wings and the ribs - not in photo) and I have yet to try different meals on their menu. But so far... so good. Two thumbs up for them!

Nothing extremely out of  the ordinary but overall I can say its one of my new favorite dining places now here in Kidapawan.

P.S.:

Not sure about their store hours but I'm guessing 10 am to 10 pm.

Located at Labastida Street Kidapawan City.

Just like me, you should try it and judge it for yourself :)

Just a quick post before I go out!

First time to blog a monthly favorites post. So, I just list down the things I used often for this month.

For the scent i'm loving VS Strawberries and champagne. Loved this since I was young and someone gave a bottle of it! I used to have the lotion and now finally the perfume version. It's a sweet lady like scent. Doesn't wear off that fast too.

Number two - Belo Acne Pro Pimple Gel. I got this from sample room for free (If you want an invite just comment your email below). Since my present job involves handling money I easily get small pimples on my face. I use a tiny bit of this product and it does help out somehowin drying pimples. They have other products that come with this but I have yet to try them.

Number three - Ben Nye Luxury Powder. I got this repacked one for a smaller size from K Cosmetics. You can search them on instagram and facebook. I had this for quite some time now but I've been loving it this month. I only use a little amount of it so it lasts longer with me.

Number 4 - Etude house Eyebrow pencil 3. I know i have thick brows but I have lots of those spots with uneven hair so I just fill them out with this. I like that it comes with a spooly( Not sure how you call it). 

Number 5 - Happy Skin's Get Cheeky With Me. A blush on that just looks natural on me. I think its a little bit pricey for a 5g make up. But the packaging is nice and it comes with a compact mirror thingy!

Number 6 - wet n wild lippie in smokin hot pink. Hara gave this to me when she got home from the states. I love how it gives color to my lips. My to go lippie for this month. Thanks Harie for this lippie. That rhymed.

Number 7 - Burt's Bees lip shimmer in fig. This is absolutely my favorite lip shimmer balm whatever thing of a jigger! It gives a minty feel and very smooth on my lips. Also fairly pigmented! So I can just put this on and I'm good to go. Surely will purchase another if it runs out. This is just another sample I got from sample room. Hoooorrrraaaay for sample room!!!

Number 8 - Color Collection in Tokyo Red. I really love how deep kind of red this is. I've been wearing it alternately with burt's bees and wet n wild lippie. Especially on casual fridays at work.

Number 9 - pink case for my phone. Although I just use it at home since I also have one in metallic pink which my other half gave me. This one in the main photo I bought from Daiso at Manila during my training.

So that's my quick September favorites for you guys! I hope you like it. Disclaimer:  Not a beauty guru just sharing my thoughts!

Much love and respect.

As a Kim Chiu Fan it is my utmost duty to watch the first time on the big screen pairing with Xian Lim. My friends schedules their screening after duty which was kinda late for me already because I still had to travel back to my homeland. I already cancelled my plans of watching until my papa said he was in the city. So he gave me extra money for the movie and my fare for travelling. So I went for it! I regret nothing at all.

Although I watched it alone I  really enjoyed watching it because the people in the cinema were very interactive but not in annoying way. When there’s a kilig scene they'd all shout and scream stuff. You can feel how happy they are with the movie. It felt like I was watching with my fellow fans.

It is very light since it’s a romcom(Romance+Comedy) love story. Not the usual Kim Chiu movies you've seen. I'd say pampa good vibes!

The story line was predictable but very entertaining especially when Ramon Bautista enters the scene. I think a lot of people can relate. I mean once in our life we had that crazy moment too. Going gaga over someone. I think what gets your attention the most would be the unsolicited advice of Ramon Bautista. Well, the truth hurts. I think most of them, if not all, are facts and can be applied in real life.

Kudos to the whole team who made this movie a success. Xian Lim and Kim Chiu carried the roles very well. Just the right mixture of romance and comedy. I wouldn't tell you how great the movie is. With no bias at all, I left the cinema with a smile on my face. I don't want to raise your expectations but I would just tell you that you should watch it. See it for yourself :)

And remember pag kinilig wag masyadong malakas ang hampas ;)

Showing in all theaters nationwide!

Finally had the time to try out Alleycat Tea House courtesy of my sister. Lol. She paid for everything. Trolololol. Everything that comes for free tastes good. I also met the owners, Xiao Prieto and Jesh Juson, both are graphic artists which explains why the place is so... well... CUTE :3

And they're both cat lovers too! Just like me :)

I think they're kinda camera shy? Very nice people with a very nice place. Great service! The ambiance is perf! People here are all smiling and I honestly don't know why. Their customers vary from kids, teenagers, and adults. I guess everybody loves them!

I had a hard time trying to decide what to order because (I'll say this again) I'm not a fan of tea. I tried their Wintermelon milk tea and the distinct taste of tea (which I don't like) is milder than other teas which made me finish it all up... and that, my friend, is a very rare thing. That deserves a pat on the back.

I was with my sister and her boyfriend so I was busy surfing the net the whole time. Their Wifi connection's also good. Not the "FAKE WIFI" that says you're connected but doesn't actually connect you. If you know what I mean.

Their place is "so Maying" as my friends would say. Cute, artsy, and perfect for random hang outs with friends. For you to get what I want to express let me show you some photos of the place...

Now you get what I mean?

Here are their happy customers both downstairs and upstairs.

And here's what we came here for... Teas and cookies!

You get a free cookie for an order of milk tea :)

When we finally got the chance to get the 2nd floor all to ourselves it is a must to take photos.

In this area you are required to take your shoes off . It's clean so no worries :)

I wore their fluffy slippers because its so comfy and my feet adores them. The doodles and books are all part of the package. I was delighted to find out that the books are almost all cat related and so amusing. For a cat lover... I think I really love this place.

They also have art materials for you to make your own doodles and stuff. I made mine but I don't think it deserves the right to be published. Haha! Over all... I'd give 4 stars out of 5 just because the comfort rooms were not working that time. You should try the place for yourself.
