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.

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. 

[Food Review] Johnny Rockets Eastwood

Last weekend 2 July 2011 (Saturday) I went to Eastwood to watch the movie Transformers 3 in 3D. It was my boyfriend's treat so I happily went with him. After we bought the tickets, we spent time in timezone at the new Eastwood Mall and we found a super kawaii perikura picture machine which was only worth Php39. It's stationed outside the entrance of the arcade. Perikura pictures are famous in Japan and in fact when I went there a few years back, when I entered the arcade about 10 different perikura picture machines where there - each having its unique color scheme and design.

By the way, since the machine has a Bluetooth option - I had these pictures Bluetoothed to my phone. After our pictorial session we decided to eat dinner at Johnny Rockets. When we were seated, it was just about time for the crew to be dancing so I got a picture of the crew dancing.

Dancing is their gimmick to keep the customers entertained, well I was entertained. The place really looks nice because of the typical American style restaurant with old pictures of American art were designed in the walls. We ordered a chicken fingers meal with unlimited fries plus we also ordered unlimited soft-drinks. The glass for the soft-drinks was so cute and sexy. I liked their chicken fingers because it was chewy and delicious. It wasn't salty nor oily at all. that's why I enjoyed eating it. It was served hot so it took me some time before biting one since doing so would hurt my sensitive teeth.

It's an aye aye captain for my Johnny Rockets experience!

Giveaways Hunt June 2011

One of my coolest and probably weirdest (to some) hobby is online contest hunting. Well, I don't just hunt, I also join them as well. I love reading beauty blogs and fashion blogs and I have been following a lot of amazing bloggers lately especially when I opened up this blog. Seeing how fascinated I am to famous bloggers, I decided to open my own official blog site and viola I give you sweetandhappylife.blogspot.com! Some of the awesome giveaways that I have recently found are the following.

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.
