I have totally stopped blogging for some time and it's mainly because I have been busy in school for both my academic and organization work. I do keep checking my blogspot every now and then and read articles from the bloggers I am following but I totally went idle in the blogging part. What a good way to come back than do my usual hobby - online giveaways hunting!

EO Optical Enhance Contact Lenses

I have an eyesight of 175 Left and Right. This is relatively not high compared to some of my friends but when I take off my glasses or contact lenses I see the world as a blurry image. I've worn glasses since 2nd Year High School and I started wearing it simultaneously with contact lenses when I was in Fourth Year High School. I love wearing my glasses because of its low maintenance versus contact lenses however I do get the nerdy-geeky looks sometimes because of it. Of course I love wearing contact lenses as well! It makes me look prettier and my eyes brighter - this is probably the effect of the color. However, when I choose contact lenses, I always opt for the Brown shades. I wanted to buy a Dali Black contact lens but since it was unavailable, I bought a Dali Brown Contact Lens. This is a single color lens so it looks more natural.

Trying out different colors are tiresome however it's worth it and it's fun as well! What I like about EO Optical is that their lavatory is clean and they provide paper tissue and proper disposal bins. They also have a handwash and Lens solution available for use and of course a big mirror. I bought my lens at EO Optical SM Cagayan de Oro Branch.

My Sauflon solution

I've been using the Sauflon solution since I started wearing contact lenses and they come in three different bottle sizes. A smaller one, easy to bring, is also available in EO Optical branches. 

A Visit to Tony & Jackey Salon

Months ago my sister had her curly hair done at Tony & Jackey SM Cagayan de Oro Branch and I really liked her hair. They use a digital hair perm system suited for different types of curls. This June my sister decided to have her hair colored so we visited Tony & Jackey and since I tagged along with her she treated me to a free nail cleaning and color.

Modern and sophisticated interior design

What I love about Tony & Jackey aside from their good service is the aesthetics of their salon. The salon lighting is very good ang you have a modern feel of the place. Aside from the photo above, they also have soft couches and a TV that shows videos of various Tony & Jackey branches and services. They also have a two computers with internet free to use by customers or the company of a customer.

After the treatment

It’s a job well done for the Tony & Jackey hair stylist and assistants. Since I’ve mentioned earlier that I also had my nails done, I’ll be sharing my experience as well.  I decided to have French tips because I’ve always opt for full colored or nail art designs and it was my first time to try French tips and it actually looks really pretty and neat.

Happy with my French tips

Glam Works Nose Pore Strips Product Review

I really like facial scrubs because they not only help rub off dead skin cells but they also help remove blackheads and whiteheads as well. White heads has been my problem ever since but I make sure to clean my nose well while washing my face. However, sometimes washing your face is not enough. Another option you can turn to is meeting a dermatologist for facial cleaning. It is a little painful but your face will really be clean afterwards. They prick all your pimples and also with the use of a sucking tube, they can remove the white heads and blackheads. Since facial treatment is a little expensive, you can resort to home remedies that you can perform. 

An effective treatment is using nose strips. You can find a lot of brands for this, I’ve tried a few as well but of all the brands – that which I found very effective is the glam works Nose Pore Strips. Each box contains sealed 12 pieces of nose strips.

me using the product : self care time

It is very easy to use and here are the steps:

1.       Wash your  face

2.       Pat dry your face with a towel

3.       Apply nose strip on your nose

4.       Once applied, drop just enough water to soak the nose strip

5.       Allow to dry for 10-15 minutes

6.       Once completely dried, you may now remove the nose strip

7.       Wash face again to remove residues

It’s really nice to use this brand since it has a sweet mint scent when used. You can buy these glam works product at Watsons outlet in SM malls.
