Say 'no' to bad hair days!

This post brought to you by TRESemmé. All opinions are 100% mine.

They say that your mane is your crowning glory.  But in these hectic times when we find ourselves running out of time to do a million things on our list, we sometimes hardly have precious seconds to spare to look presentable.

Lucky for us, there are now products available in the market to ease our 'hair' worries away. The TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo is the latest innovative shampoo that will surely revolutionize the way we feel about our mane.  It is part of a complete line of dry shampoos guaranteed to revive your hair style on days when you don't have time to go for a quick shower. It is also the Top Hair Products for School and widely used by hair experts.

It is formulated to absorb excess oil and remove odor and truly rejuvenates your hair without a drop of water.  Be sure to shake the product vigorously before use. Section away your hair and spray in short bursts by holding it 8-12 inches away from your head. Lightly spray at the roots, leave it for 1-2 minutes and massage your scalp using your fingertips to evenly distribute the liquid on your head.

Check out this instructional video which features a tutorial on how to use the products properly.

 

So now we can truly say "NO" to bad hair days!

 

The morning after

In the three years of our wedded life, I'd say that "Pedring" the tropical typhoon which hit the Philippines on Tuesday is by far the strongest storm I've experienced. Actually, it started raining in the wee hours of Tuesday with the winds intensifying at alarming speed. By 8am, it was still very dark and the electricity went off. Thankfully classes in all levels were suspended so D was home.

We had to cook rice without the rice cooker. Or rather he did since I didn't want to eat porridge for lunch. :D The winds were still pretty intense throughout the afternoon. With no TV, no Internet connection, no dial tone on our land line and no signal on our cellphones, we just stayed in bed reading and we would occasionally doze off.

Fortunately, power came back at 6pm. But we were still without any cable TV and dial tone. Cellphone signal would fluctuate. The storm was still raging outside with all its might that I thought our roof would fly away any instant. I wanted to go out and buy a cake for D's birthday but it wasn't a good idea unless I didn't mind getting soaked to the bones.

On Wednesday, the weather had slightly improved vis a vis the strong winds but it was raining incessantly. But it was D's 47th birthday so I decided to just order from Max's Restaurant. We had chicken, pancit canton and lumpiang shanghai for his birthday lunch. And ice cream for dessert. By the time the food was delivered, I was already very hungry I forgot to take a picture of his little birthday "feast".

Needless to say, it doesn't take much to satisfy my hubby. In his words 'as long as we are together, happy na ako'. So I'm happy that he is happy even though I didn't buy him any gift! :D

Fun deals

The latest crave nowadays are websites which offer good deals through coupons. With so many of these websites cropping up, it pays to go through each of them to learn more about the reputation of the various featured companies.

You simply go to a search engine, type something like dealfun.com reviews and you can spend an entire afternoon, perusing all the reviews. Now that's a good way to spend one's time, right? You learn more about the products plus you get your money's worth!

Lifestyle of the rich and famous

A few months ago, we took a side trip/ocular visit to an exclusive enclave known as Anvaya Cove. This Ayala owned community is located within the isolated yet pristine solitude of Morong Bataan. It has its own golf course, beach resort as well as condominiums and town houses. Strict security is enforced to guarantee your privacy. The whole community is well maintained and has a well manicured landscape. A perfect venue for some R&R during a long weekend.

The only disadvantage is that you need to avail of its 3 million pesos exclusive golf membership to be able to use its facilities! And the townhouse itself costs a whooping 18 million pesos. LOL Oh well, at least we caught a glimpse of its premises.

Visual relaxation

After a particularly stressful week, these images of a koi pond make my worries fly out of the window. Out and away on this very windy day, here's hoping they don't make their way back in! These pictures were taken on May 5, 2011 at Mount Faber in Singapore.

New additions

I believe I've blogged about my addiction to dangling earrings in some previous posts. Here are the newest additions to my collection. Some of them were handed down to me by my sister. The others I personally bought them at those tiangge stalls at the malls. =)
