All about 'Nails' πŸ’…

My November Nail Addiction... 

I was obsessed with nail acrylics months back and the idea of getting mine done with a coffin outline. I've watched videos of how to apply acrylics and the designs you can make out of it. 

My favorite YouTube nail artist are Naio Nails and Suzie, the woman behind Nail Career Education. If you're the type of person who loves edgy and artsy sculpted nail designs, you need to see Naio Nails artwork.  And if you're into posh and sophisticated look, go for Suzie. 

So, I went to one of these posh beauty salon in Sharjah and had my nails done in acrylic. I'm not sure if they had a promotion at that time but mine cost around 150AED. I tried calling other shops too and most of them offers acrylic nails starting 250AED depending on the design you'll choose. 

I chose the cheapest since I only wanted to try it. I can't afford to pay much then have them remove after just because I'm uncomfortable with it - you know what I mean?   

Off I went to Damas Beauty Center. 


#notmyphoto

When I went inside, I was greeted by a Filipina receptionist 😍. There were a lot of customers that time and I was next on the list for acrylic or extension application. I waited for 30 minutes (I think) since they only have 1 nail technician that day (and I'm not sure if she's the only one working for acrylics or whatnot).

So while waiting, I decided to take a few snap of the place... 


 

The inside is very elegant. I was amazed of how they decorated the place; it fits for a Princess.

The salon is spacious and they offer different services to their clients. A beauty haven for someone vain from head to toe.

If I get a chance to visit the place again, I'll make sure to take a few more shots and discuss services and offers from their management so I can share it with you. I'll make a separate blog for it with all necessary details you needed before getting one done for yourself. 


Take note, acrylic extensions normally lasts 2-3 weeks depending on how you maintain them and the type of nails you have, of course. 


Acrylics applied to my nails without the colored polish.
Application would usually take 1 hour or so.
I opt not to cut the length and decided to have it as it is when it was applied on top of my real nails; then the technician had it filed instead to fix the edges.
It look SO REAL!


The cut is what you called a 'Coffin Nails'. 
Mine is on dark mocha color.
If you choose to have a nail art or french gel tips, you have to pay extra.

After a week, I decided to change the color. haha 
Tadahhh... Gold!
I painted it myself. 

Which is something I regret... After a few days, the middle nail accidentally cracked while I'm doing the laundry. I think what I did ruined the top coat or protection applied by the tech.
Since I can't afford to let go of it yet, I decided to use a fake nail instead on my middle finger. 
Still looks good though!

I think I had the nails on for 2 weeks and decided to get rid of it already. I should have opted to cut the nails to medium length rather than have it that long?! I can't do anything... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

It's something I've learned in the process. The next time I'll have it done, it would be something I am sure I'll wear for a long period of time.

Overall, I love how my nails was done at that time. And if you'll ask me if I'll go back there for another beauty sesh? Sure thing I will ♥

Celebrate Summer in Style #TheDumondWay... “What’s your summer style?”


If you have it, flaunt it!
“I’m an L size woman and I have a sexy-chubby butt… so I’m going to flaunt it!”
Bigger women have never had it easy. Our society now a day is drawn into women of XS slash XXS type of sexiness that those who are into the so-called XL or XXL size is having a hard time blending in.
Never ever outcast yourself! It’s time to come out and shine. 

If not now, when?
Summer isn’t just for saucy, tasty, and drop dead gorgeous men and women out there.
Summer is for everyone. All you needed is the right outfit and the confidence. If you feel sexy and comfortable no matter what your size is, it will reflect on how others will see you.
For 2014 summer, you can opt for a Brazilian way of fashion.
Try Dumond’s premium quality products and be the apple of everyone's Eyes ♥

As how Brazilian’s would do it, you can be as much comfortable and at the same time lively by wearing vividly colored pieces that will flaunt your own unique Brazilian beauty and style. You can choose one element from your outfit that will accentuate your style and let that thing capture other people's attention. Let their attention draw into that piece and surely you’ll be surprise on how people will react at your presence! How about a cute bag?! Try Dumond’s bag collections and set it as your focal point. 

Just the right DUMOND style and you'll be too sexy for that Fat.

Too much sexiness that it overflows!!!


Enjoy the Dumond's way of Fashion ♥

Bonding ♥ Time

Bonding ♥ Time


As I’ve said last time, I will take time to shop or buy stuffs from the 3-day SALE of SM Southmall. I told myself I’m not going to fail if I get the chance to drop by the mall again. Oh well… I did fail still… Worst part is I didn’t go there. Haha O_o I woke up around 7:30 in the morning and ginising ko silang lahat. I cooked breakfast first and served them corned beef with potato, scrambled egg with onion, garlic and tomato, bread, cheez wiz and peanut butter. Para hindi muna magutom hehe kasi I told them, we have to go to the mall. I have to spend my weekend malling with them as I only have a day off for the week.

My Dear has to pay bills pa naman so we decided to go to ATC (Alabang Town Center). Unionbank there is open Monday thru Sunday. Kaso the malas thing is, we forgot March 1st is Muntinlupa day, so no work talaga. T_T buti na lang before we leave I ask Dear to make sure with the guards there na open ang bank by Sunday para maka-pay na din.

Ayun, hindi nanaman kami nakapagSM. After that nag BDO muna siya then me and the kid went to Timezone kasi nagpupumilit si Little-Big-Boy ko na mag-rides daw.



We ate lunch at Amici restaurant. They have this “Graduation Day” promo and we order their good for 4 meal. It’s around 969 Php. We were supposed to buy our old time fave pasta but we opt for their promo since 2 pasta dish na ang kasama plus pitcher of iced tea, veggies w/ sausage, and a whole pizza. We just ordered the dessert separately na lang. Sad part is, hindi nag enjoy ang baby, pero madami naman nakain niya sa ice cream cake na inorder namin. We also love their Gelato. He’s mahilig din kasi sa ice cream. Oh well, ang bagets gusto kasi mag timezone daw muna kami tapos sa Jollibee siya kakain haha

Here's the food ♥


Salsicce Italiana (Homemade recipe Italian sausage served with marinated veggies)


Spaghetti Aglio Olio E Pepperonicino (Midly spicy pasta dish in rich garlic and olive oil sauce with anchovies)


Margherita (Mozzarella cheese and fresh basil)


Spaghetti Alla Carbonara (Spaghetti pasta tossed in creamy white sauce with parmesan cheese and bacon bits)





Not bad at all. The food tastes good and ok naman yong place. There are Amici kasi na mas maganda ang place compared to the one they have in ATC.



Oh Well... Nag Jollibee nga siya after namin mamili sa Festival  hehe
Kids Fave ♥

After that, Dear has to go to work na and nagpaalam naman ako sa kanya na we’ll go to Festival Mall na lang after kasi I have to buy stuffs there. On our way out, yong mag-daddy, dadaan daw sa Collezione boutique muna (http://www.collezione-c2.com/) and si Little-Big-Boy ko gustong gusto yong daddy-baby polo na nasa mannequin. Isa daw sa kanya and the other one for his dad. He was so like O_O amaze na amaze sa damit at tumabi pa sa mannequin para magpapicture daw. I told them both to look for a pair. Since last Feb. is my dear’s birthday, I told him to buy na now para same sila ng kid. Gift ko sa kanya haha Iba kasi dapat bibilhin ko sa kanya hehe



On a totally different topic...
Talo ako sa gift ni Mina kay Dear...



Thank you Mina Dear ♥



Here’s what they got at Collezione…




For dinner, I just cooked Chicken Adobo in Mama Sita's Coconut Vinegar with Potato and Ripe Mango ♥♥♥
(I'll blog about it too and show you how I made it)



Pagdating sa house... Gutom pa din ang bagets! mag ice cream daw siya and mangga haha



I wasn’t able to shop at SM but the stuffs I got from Festival mall is super LIKE naman ♥
I’ll blog that one separately ^_^||


Mga Dear, spend as much time with your family during your rest days especially if you’re like a super busy mom that has to go to work 5 to 6 days a week. The kid/s will enjoy it a lot ♥ Minsan lang sila maging bata. Get the chance to bond with them while you still have time.

XOXO

Husband Fashionista!

What fashion does to our husband?!
It is a bit uncommon for our husband to be as more fashionable than us, wives or women. When you say “Fashion”, it is most likely linked to us girls. Of course, a lot of men are into fashion as well, but when time comes and they get married, most of them lost their fashion sense.

That’s just my own opinion though.

For those men who are not into show business... corporate world... fashion industry… you name it…
“The so-called-normal-guy” -- their style and fashion faded. Is it may be because; they are more occupied of thinking how they can provide more to their growing family? And they tend to forget about their selves. It’s a sad thing L

Pero ang asawa ko? Is so really into FASHION ♥

Yes, you read it right J

He makes sure that he looks good at all times. Whenever we go out, he’s a head turner. I feel so proud. I will post his OOTD every time we go out and I let you guys judge it hehe

Guys, you don’t have to spend too much just to look good. Start first within yourself. Be optimistic at all times. The results will pay off after.

Below is the list of strategy that you can use as your guide in getting the Oh-So-Yummy look that you crave for (The CHEAPEST way):

1.       Let out the inner HUNK in you – it’s just there, hiding all these years. It doesn’t matter if you’re too thin… too fat… just a so-so guy… let that slight Adones thing out in you. Get a new hair style or if you think you’ll look great with a new hair color, go for it! Since most guys have shorter hair, a hair color would cost you not more than 500 peso. Yup, meron yan! The cheapest hair color I knew is around 600peso for girls ah. Imagine kayo mas shorter ang buhok. Sigurado, mas mura pa diyan babayaran nyo. For hair cut naman? It only cost around 35 to 45 slash 50 peso. Nasa tabi-tabi lang yan… Explore!

2.       Go get your nails done. If you’re too lazy to spend at least a penny to get your nails done, trim it yourself. Wash with soap twice; soak it in warm water with a bit of a liquid soap for 3 to 5 minutes to get a softer nail. Then cut it straight across (avoid cutting it ng sobrang sagad sa nail beds)-That isn’t the right way of cutting it.


Note: Ang pinaka murang mani pedi na alam ko is around 45-50 peso. If both mani pedi, total is around 90 to 100 peso. Not bad na diba? Madami diyan guys! Pag tinamad kayo na gawin ung option sa taas, punta lng kayo sa malapit na parlor and magpa mani / pedi. Ask for a promo din, kasi minsan, may promo na foot or hand spa kasama mani/pedi for around 250 to 300 peso only. Makakatipid kayo.

Remember: Girls love a neat / clean hand! J

3.       Make sure to cut and shave extra hair! Haha sa Face lang ah! Don’t get malisyoso J Too much hair is not as good as what you think it is. Most girls don’t like guys na halos kakambal na ni KingKong. A little mustache, goatee and goat patch will do. As long as neat tignan. If you’re super masipag to trim it every day... why not diba!

But take note… Most women prefer a “Clean Shaven” face. It contains no facial hair at all. As the name suggests, the face is cleanly shaven. To remain clean shaven, daily shaving is often required. So guys, if you prefer this, kailangan magsipag lang sa pag shave ARAW-ARAW!

For list of facial hairstyle, just click this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_facial_hairstyles

4.       Make sure to wash your face and brush your teeth as often as needed. Yup yup yup! As much as possible, wash your face lalo na pag nagiging oily na ito. Oily skin is a NO NO! Avoid touching your face with your bare hands. I got turned off every time I see guys do this. Buy a tissue but I prefer you bring along with you a hanky. Mura at madami niyan sa Baclaran, Divisoria and sa palengke. Minsan 10 peso per piece pa yan. There are a lot of styles to choose from. You don’t need to have piles and piles of hanky. Having 2 to 4 pieces will do. Make sure to wash it after you used it.

A guy na mabango ang hininga is so attractive. Make sure to brush your teeth before you leave the house. Oopppss! maybe some of you would laugh upon reading this! But hell yes… There are some who doesn’t do it! And if you’re outside na and katatapos lang kumain or you feel like nangangamoy na (sorry for the term), make sure you have a gum or mint candy handy at all times.

You know What?
When you chew gum, your saliva production is also stimulated. If you didn’t know already, saliva is the most important factor when it comes to maintaining good oral health. Saliva has antibacterial properties and can help flush out food debris, remaining sugars and other harmful acids in your mouth. Sugarfree gum has also been found to be effective in protecting the enamel of your teeth. In fact, chewing on some sugar-free gum after meals can lessen your tooth cavities. (http://www.3fatchicks.com/5-surprising-health-benefits-of-chewing-gum/)

Guys, a clean looking man is so good to looked at. J

5.       SMELL good. Ready na ang deo, cologne or perfume. This one is a must. Never cross this out on your list. It’s considered as a guy must have. No need to spend too much on a perfume or cologne. I find Aficionado and Prescripto a good find too. Mabango na! Mura pa.
** Tandaan, kayang kaya mong gumwapo kahit mura lang ang gamit mo. Sa nagdadala lang yan.
6.       Wear clothes that would look good but comfortable at the same time. If you feel comfortable, lumalabas yan sa aura mo.  Find a pair of good pants (maki-Sale sa mall pag may time) or if you can, makipagsiksikan din sa Divi at Baclaran. Lalong lalo na if you noticed that your pants are way out of uso na. Straight cut pants are a good one, but remember, it should not be too loose or too tight. You should have one denim / dark jeans and khaki pants. Pag meron kana niyan, it’s a start na para maisipan mong pumorma. One more thing… Wear shirts and polo shirts that are well fitted. Loose top is not good anymore. I have bought my dear a polo shirt sa SM department store that cost only around 300 or 350 peso. He wears it to work since bawal sa office namin ang t-shirt. He likes it hehe (alam mo naman yon, mahilig yon sa mamahalin. Ni try ko lang na ibili siya ng mumurahin naman haha). That’s why guys, I’m helping you out na mag ayos sa sarili na hindi gaano gumagastos ng sobra. J

7.       Wear a watch and a bracelet or a necklace pag sanay kayong magsuot nito. A watch would look great na. Hindi kailangan ang sobra sa daming alahas. But please, DON’T EVER FORGET TO WEAR YOUR WEDDING RING! Sa mga kasal diyan, please make sure na maalalang suotin to bago umalis man lang. hehe liban na lang kung usapan na talaga ninyong mag asawa na ok lang kahit hindi nyo ito suot-suot. J (naisingit ko pa talaga ang wedding ring sa lagay na to e hehe)

8.       Buy cheap but nice shoes. Do not wear your sport or athletic shoes sa pag gala sa mall or somewhere else. That’s why it’s called rubber or sport shoes since it’s designed for sports or other forms of physical exercise. I know now a day, most men tend to wear them for casual events but please refrain from doing so. Below are types of shoes for every type of pants. It’s just a guide so you would know what to buy and the kind of shoes that suits you. It may look expensive, but as what I’ve always told you, nasa tabi-tabi lang ang mga yan. Mapa bangketa, divisoria, baclaran or palengke. Pumili ka lang ng maganda J

9.       Don’t bring with you a back pack all the time, unless you really have to. Of course you don’t want to be mistaken as a student still, right? Give up na yan. Palitan ng ibang klase na bag if kelangan mo talaga magdala. Replace your old back pack with a trendy men’s shoulder bag, messenger bag, canvas bag or men’s tote bag.




10.       Lastly, always wear a smile and be as polite as possible. Huwag yong sobra ulit baka mapagkamalan ka nyan. If you came across someone you knew. Smile a little and nod to acknowledge the presence of someone you bump into. If it’s a close friend, tap him a bit at the back of his shoulder. If you’re walking in public, walk as if you’re on a runway. Don’t slouch, back straight and stomach in. Pag medyo may kalakihan ka, still do the same… walk as if you’re proud of what you have. Again, don’t act too much baka may sumapak naman sayo bigla, kasi daw ang angas mo. Yong tama lang lage J *wink

Remember, if someone you came across with need a help, lend a hand. Help an old lady cross the street, help someone reach something she can’t, etc. There are a lot of ways that you can do to help others. Nako, pag ginawa mo to 100x pogi points ka. Hep hep… ang pagtulong ay bukal sa kalooban, ok? J

Feel free to leave a comment and your thoughts! I will be so glad to read all of it.

Next stop mga mummies hehe I’ll be posting good  finds na nabili ko to decorate our house! Give me a month or so for that! J In the mean time abangan nyo pa ibang blog ko about health, food and lifestyle XOXO

Whenever I visit a place and get fascinated by it; I always think of the past… then asked myself silently... How did people survive before...
