Have you ever experienced putting on fake eyelashes but you felt like it is gonna take forever to apply because you're not really good at it? I did! The first time I had to put them on was during our company's Christmas Party performance last year and i must say that it was a very hard and a challenging thing to do especially when you have no idea how to actually do it. Good thing, there are salons who specialize in safe application of natural-looking hair lashes extensions.



Last September 23, 2016, I was invited to be part of the grand opening of Ooh La Lash! Lash Extension Lounge's first branch at the Glorietta 2, Makati City. They offer eyelash extensions, brow threading and brow tinting services delivered with attention to quality and detail done by qualified aestheticians in a stylish and comfortable environment. They are actually the first lash studio in the country to provide this level of quality assurance.



We we're asked to try their eye lash extensions service and since it was my first time, I was a bit nervous because I've heard a lot of people say that it would be a very long process and there will be discomfort but since Ooh La Lash! aestheticians are trained experts with the knowledge of the latest techniques in these services, I gave it a go. I also availed their brow threading service because my brows are starting to be very bushy again. Here's a before photo for comparison later:



Ms. Roan was assigned to me that day and she did my brows first prior to the extension application. Then after my brows were perfectly groomed, she then asked me was what type of eyelash extension would i want to use, and since this is my first time to have extensions on, i really didn't know what to choose. I just told her that I wanted something a bit longer than my real lash and I like a natural looking curl. She decided to use the 10B Curl extension. Here are the FDA-approved materials used in applying the eye lash extensions.



Next she applied collagen pads under my eyes maybe to give it a soothing feel for this 45 minute service.



Ms. Roan instructed me to just close my eyes the entire time to avoid the eye lash glue to come in contact with your eye and of course to avoid ruining the lashes that she already applied. I actually didn't feel uncomfortable during the process except when I accidentally opened my eye at one point that made me feel a bit of discomfort (my bad!) although you really have to be patient in closing your eyes for less than an hour. 

After application, Ms. Roan had to make sure that the glue is already dry and when it was time to open my eyes, she informed me that i may feel a bit of discomfort but it will wear off eventually. Here's the result! Please don't mind my oily face.



I was very impressed with the result and it was only after the process that I learned that ms. Roan actually placed each hair strand one at a time. Amazing right? She then explained what I should never do to avoid ruining my eye lash extension:

• Never rub your eyes
• Do not use eyeliner and mascara
• Never use lash curlers
• Try not to use the shower head directly onto your lashes to avoid water pressure
• Try not to sleep face down

Another option in getting beautiful long lashes is through the use of Revitalash. Let me know what you would prefer and share your experiences in getting your lashes done on the comment section below.

Mothers are responsible for the quality of life that the family enjoys at home, and yet they tend to neglect themselves in the fulfillment of their roles. They give care and attention to every family member including the spouse, children, sometimes even parents, and other extended members of the clan. At the same time, some mothers also work to help put food on the table and pay the bills. In a way, they are subjected to stress that their spouses or husbands do not experience, because they have to balance running a business and/or working in the office, to creating a happy home life. After office hours, they still have to help the kids with their homework or make sure they are well taken cared of and the husband, too, needs her support and affection. Mothers tend to give a lot of themselves---and because they are self-less to a point that they almost do not care for themselves, they subject themselves to stress. This is when the effects of aging set in.


Dr. Lalaine Salazar, Medical Director of the SvelT’i Health and Beauty Centre in Timog Avenue, Quezon City, explains why mothers should pamper themselves especially on Mother’s Day: “Mothers can look their radiant best on their special day this May, thanks to a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin-rejuvenating technology called Revlite. Skin conditions like melasma, the effects of aging like mild wrinkles, and fine lines can be reduced, if not removed, to be replaced by healthy glowing skin that will make these wonderful women look younger than their age. Other conditions that Revlite can treat are acne marks and pigmentation.


Dr. Salazar continues, “Sometimes mothers forget to look after their skin and apply basic skin care principles, or expose themselves frequently to the sun when they shouldn’t. The consequences of this neglect accumulate over time and lead to conditions like melasma, pigmentation, and acne marks. Some of these conditions could have been prevented, but the mothers are too busy taking care of their loved ones to watch after their own health.”

Revlite, as offered by SvelT’i, goes a long way in removing those awkwardly visible medical conditions and restoring the skin to its youthful health. It is a revolutionary Q-Switched ND:YAG laser  that features PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse {PTP} that offers a wide-range solution to remove melasma, unwanted pigments, fine lines and wrinkles, and  marks. Tattoos that mothers once had done during their younger years and now wants removed can also be slowly be made to vanish by the laser technology.

Revlite works on the pigmented lesions through the photoacoustic energy that targets the brown spots by producing a special wavelength of light that is being absorbed by the pigments. The light vibrates and breaks down the pigments into tiny particles, which in turn are absorbed and gradually eliminated by the body's natural process. The spots will appear lighter with each treatment and eventually fades.


For skin rejuvenation, the light energy is made to pulse over the skin targeting the support structure underneath its surface. This stimulates production of new amounts of collagen resulting to reduction of wrinkles and improvement of fine lines with no downtime and discomfort.

“The entire process can take only 30 minutes and it is done in very comfortable conditions,” enthuses Dr. Salazar. “Because it is not intrusive, the patient needs no down time in order to adjust. After the treatment, she can go back to work, finish her chores at home, or  shop in the mall with her family. More important, the results can be seen only after one session. Some of the pigments fade considerably.  We do recommend continuity in order to maximize these results.”


One benefit of using Revlite is that it restores the mom’s self-confidence in herself as she feels her newfound vitality and rediscovers her own authentic beauty. That joy radiates and spills over to her relationships, empowering her to infuse her home with more care and affection---but this time, escaping the ravages of stress and radiating her best self. It is a Mother’s Day’s self-treat that can last for a long time.

The first time I heard GAOC was on TV when a celebrity thanked them as one of his sponsors. Then I began to notice that most of the celebrities give gratitude to that same brand, which later on I realized that it was a dental clinic. Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center,or more commonly known as GAOC, is definitely one of the best when it comes to dental services not only here in the country but in the Southeast Asian region.

It is the recognized trailblazer in dental implant surgery in the Philippines and it offers an extensive range of excellent services from general dentistry to oral surgery and periodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics and cosmetic and laser dentistry.



Last April 23, 2017, they opened their newest clinic located at the S Maison, Conrad Manila at the Mall Of Asia Complex in Pasay City. 



GAOC was founded in 2001 by Steve Mark G. Gan D.M.D. who is a world-renowned dental surgeon who took his Residency in Advanced Prosthodontics in the prestigious University of Southern California - School of Dentistry and Prosthodontics Osseointegrated Implants at the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA). He is a member of the American Society of Osseointegration and the American College of Oral Implantology. Dr. Gan is also a former board member of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Board of Dentistry and is currently a visiting Professor at the University of Genoa, Genova, Italy.



Consistently raising the standards of dental practice in the country and living up to Dr. Gan's singular vision of introducing world-class, state-of-the-art dental services in the Philippines, GAOC employs a highly regarded team of dentists - caring, gentle and professional - all of whom regularly undertake training programs both here and abroad to keep abreast of the latest technology, trends and best practices in dental medicine.

Complementing GAOC's team of experts are the most advanced diagnostic technology and dental equipment available. Its clinic and treatment facilities are sleek, immaculate and has a modern look. Check out the photos I took during our clinic tour:



"We're proud to bring GAOC's brand of superior quality dental care to this part of Metro Manila, and at such a fine location", declares Dr. Gan. "As with all our other branches, you can be assured of the best dental services available, from top-notch, internationally-trained dentists, and with state-of-the-art equipment - all housed in a clinic that can only be described as impressive".


So if you want the best clinic to provide dental services to you and your loved ones, I highly recommended that you go to a brand that is already trusted and is the best in their field.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post but all the opinions stated below are mine.

Whenever I am invited to attend parties or formal events, I try to put on a bit of makeup to look quite presentable. I am not really good at it but I can do a decent day/night look that I guess, suits the occasion. But when it comes to fixing my hair, I am totally clueless as to how I can play with my hairstyle, may it be an up-do, a few braids here and there or curls. I just had to brush it, and I'm done which is honestly makes me feel and look boring at times. 

Then I browsed the net to look for easy hairstyles, and I stumbled upon a website that caters to different types of hair wigs. I was hesitant at first because i felt like it would be awkward to wear a wig but when I saw the products, it really looked real and natural. 


Black Hairspray is an online shop that offers everything that has something to do with our crowning glory may it be for hair care, hair accessories, skin care, beauty products, cosmetics, as well as beauty tools. They are authorized sellers of well known brands such as Milky Way, Freetress Equal, Sensationnel, Outre, Model Model, Isis Collection, Bohyme, Saga Remy, Goddess, Velvet, Janet Collection, Vivica Fox Collection, Hollywood, Zury, It's A Wig!, New Born Free and a whole lot more. 

But what I really liked out of all the products of Black Hairspray is their Half Wigs which are comfortable and reliable wigs that literally, covers on the half of your hair to allow you to blend it in with your natural hair at the front to give you a natural, beautiful look. 


The half wigs have double combs and adjustable straps that offer reliable security with no worries. You also get to choose whether you want your wigs made of human hair or synthetic whichever you prefer. Choices are endless as you can choose from straight, wavy or curly at different colors.

So if you are looking for an easy way to change your hairstyle within minutes, I suggest you visit Black Hairspray and purchase their beautiful wigs that are very affordable. Plus, they offer a convenient, no hassle, 30 day return policy, price matching guarantee and offer in-house live chat customer service for everyone. Lastly, if your order is $50 and above, you get free shipping.
