Old Manicures + Stickers
An old manicure I had on a month ago. I placed it on, then a few days later, I also added some stickers my friend gave me. You can actually see where the stickers end. I am so fail.

Review: Superdrug Tea Tree Peel Off Face Mask
Pros:
-A lot of product (10 ml: may be used twice)
-Strong minty feel that lasts (from the peppermint: this could be a con for sensitive people, but I love the way it cools my face)
-Hardens quickly (unless you put a lot in one area)
-Easy to remove
Cons:
-Packaging: bad for controlling amount (because it was a sachet)
-Application is messy, gel-like texture hardens quickly (could be a pro for neater people)
-Strong smell (of tea tree)
-Cost: Expensive (79 pesos) for one-use
This made the giant zit on my face come to a point, which is very good for me.
Will I buy again? No, there are cheaper masks that work well and smell better :)

Papaya
I love how papaya tastes! Luckily, I was able to buy one. Add a little honey and you get yumminess! Just make sure you put your honey in a separate container to make sure you don't use too much. With honey, a little goes a long way.
I also used what was left of the honey to create a lip scrub. Just added some brown sugar. Bonus: it has papaya juice from all the dipping!

Hair Spa at Home
One of the great things about living in the Phil is having access to lots and lots of coconut oil. Using GIGA Venture's cold pressed coconut oil (left) and bath origins lavender aromatherapy oil (right) and a hair steamer (not shown), I was able to make my own cheap hair spa! I don't remember how much the lavender costs, but the GIGA oil is P180 only (I'm not sure how much in ml.. haha, but it's a lot).
I've used it 3 times already, and I still have around 3/4ths of the bottle left- the oil level's above the label. And I don't skimp on product.
Just pour as much coconut oil as you think you need (which isn't much, i just eyeball it, but I think it's around 6-8 tablespoons for me) in a small container, add 3-4 drops lavender oil and mix. Section your hair to coat it evenly. I like to have three layers from crown to nape: the middle layer is divided into two and the last, bottom layer is divided into three. I use one tablespoon on each section and rub the rest into my scalp.
Clamp hair and steam for 20 minutes. My hair looks like this after steaming.
Wash twice-thrice with shampoo :) It smells coconut-y at first (the lavender cuts it and makes it less harsh) but it disappears at the next wash (I sorta like the smell-haha). Hair is now soft and shiny!
PROS:
Cheap
Effective
Natural (for those who care)
Coconut Scent
CONS
Coconut Scent
Need some sort of steamer (maybe only the steam makes it soft??? I don't think so though... maybe i will experiment or find prior research)
Effect lasts around 10 days for me. But I like doing it every week for that pampered feeling.

Sundae Surprise

Back!!!
I lost my usb connector and only found it now :( It's a new season already :( What have I been up to now...
I received this in the mail! It was from the mystery shampoo thing, but i received it waaay after the event. Anyway, I tried it out for 14 days.
Pros:
-smells good
-lathers well
Cons
-made my scalp dandruff-y after 14 days without an anti-dandruff shampoo (but I can't blame it for not being one too)
It may have reduced my hair fall due to breakage; However, since that really isn't a problem for me, I can't say I saw a significant difference.
I was also able to catalogue all my greens! I have 7 of them! heehee. can you guess the shades?
Compared my nails for holloween and christmas:
Holloween
Christmas and my first time using seche vite's top coat: I don't like the consistency. It's too thick and I can't apply it very well...
I love my long nails but I think I have to cut them since I'm having difficulty typing.
Wish I could post more. haha.

Dream
It is close to midnight and everyone is asleep. I am at my window. Impossibly, it is open. I look outside. A cool breeze comes in. My heart is hollow, but it feels like lead. I am waiting for something. My upper body sticks out, straining to the sky. I know I can do this. I jump.
I jump out the window and land on a nearby tree. I am deliriously happy, though I knew I would succeed. I start jumping from tree to tree. I stop to steady myself. I fear that something is chasing me, so I go further. I hop from tree to empty lot to tree. Each jump lasts longer, goes higher. Again and again until I feel like I can touch the stars.
I want to touch them. I try and I fail, but it's alright since I can try again.
Once more. I am so close. The air freezes in my lungs as my lips turn blue. I am ecstatic, my hand moves. I am going to touch a star. Then I start to fall. It is gravity, yet it is not. It is slower than I would expect. My heart starts pounding: If I crash, would I die? The sky is beautiful. It is a blanket of dark velvet with little glowing lights- crystals creating an unknown design. I fall and this image blurs. I hit the ground, but I am unharmed.
So I do it again, again, again.
I lose track of time. Then the velvet lightens and orange fire lights up the sky. It is morning and my head feels as if it were wrapped in cotton. I am sad, exhausted, overjoyed. I leap to my window and fall into my bed.
I fall asleep and I wake up.

Biore: Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
I bought some pore strips for my brother a week ago for less than $4 (In the US) and tested it.
My brother washed his face. This is his nose before the strip and after cleansing.
I removed the strip from its container, twisted it around then placed it on my brother's face. You have to put it on (1)quickly on a (2) wet nose or else it won't work as well. That was my mistake.
This is his nose after, you can see some improvement. It would be better if his nose was wetter and I was quicker though.
This is the nose strip; you can see that it works. However, it pulled more hair than heads. I should correct that next try.
