Glam-Up a Bit With Eyelash Extensions

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then lashes are definitely the gatekeepers. And, it’s no secret that lashes have been having a moment for a while now. Having the fact that wearing face masks is a must and the new normal these days.. 

 

So, lately I've been thinking to glam up myself for I'll be turning 40 in a few days time.. and there's nothing I can think of but to have an eyelash extension. I scheduled an appointment to do home service and good thing is that a colleague of mine have a sister that offers home service.

 

Since it's the era of face masks, and can't wear full face make up, all we can do is just make our eyes look amazing, glamorous and tantalizing by enhancing the beauty of our eye lashes. 

Thank God that Monica is around to do the trick! 

Speaking of eyelash extensions, here are some few DOs and DON'Ts to take care of it. 

• DON’T get your extensions wet for 24-48 hours after application. To be safe, avoid excessive heat for the first couple of days as well, 
• DO make sure your lash artist uses individual lashes, NOT clusters. Applying one single extension to one individual lash ensures a much more natural look. 
• DON’T use oily products near your eyes. Oil can degrade the adhesive and shorten the life of your extensions. Instead, use oil-free after care products (like oil-free makeup remover) to help your lashes last.     
• DON’T forget to brush your lashes. Brushing both your extensions and natural lashes regularly will keep them looking full and beautiful while also clearing our any debris or bacteria.
  

 

Authentic Indian Food House in Puerto Princesa City

Biryani Rice meal -

Biryani is popular throughout the Indian subcontinent, as well as among its diaspora. It is also prepared in other regions such as parts of Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq.

As my best friend and I enjoyed walking on Baywalk, we happened to pass by this small restaurant situation at the left most part of the park (if you're from Malvar). Since we've been strolling for an hour, she told me to check this out and dine in. For she's been intrigued about one of her friend posting a photo of the Biryani meal on Facebook.

The place is actually nice, alfresco despite being small. We decided to order Chicken Biryani (Php 250.00) and followed with Beef Keema Paratha.

 

All authentic Indian Food. It was my first time trying the Biryani, hence there's nothing to compare it with.

 

 

Served hot. Aromatic it is because of all the herbs and spices put into it. Truly a trademark of an Indian food. That chili pepper on it spiked the taste! Ginger so potent, all in all, it's really a great meal! 

 

 

Next we tried the Beef Keema Paratha (Php180.00). Wheat bread filled with ground beef and some herbs and spices.. This one is somewhat like a quesadillas or panodillo, a thin bread-like with fillings. 

We left the place happy and with a full tummy!

 

You may call/text them to have your orders delivered at your doorsteps.

New Hype in PPC: Max & Bunny Shop Restaurant

Friday. When I got a text message from Julie Anne, asking if I am available for some time to go out and check some new place in town.Since it was a very tiring and busy week for me, I simply said yes! Originally we just wanted coffee, but then the place offers a lot more!

 

Max and Bunny Restaurant is located at Lanzanas Road, San Pedro Puerto Princesa City. Just beside Rubydina's Pension House ( a few meters from the Back of One Asenso Place).

 

 

It has a nice pergola at the backyard, with cages for the rabbits/bunnies they're selling. A great place to have a cup of coffee while reading a book or chit-chatting with friends. (Just have a mosquito repellent with you when you stay by this area on a late afternoon, for your own protection).

 

Cute lavatory area just by the entrance of the restaurant, a must for the pandemic. At the door, they also have thermal scanner and alcohol sprayer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

I particularly love the interiors and the furniture! Giving you a classical vibe, as if you're living at a Roman Times era! The chairs are so classy and looks fabulous! 

They have these small area with some stuffs for sale. Some are LOCAL products and a few imported goods too. They also sell wines (sold per bottle). 

 

 

 

 

 

While waiting for friends to arrived, Cathy and I decided to order some pica-pica. Nachos and Quesadillas (beef). Prep time was a bit long, maybe because the Nachos were freshly made. We undeniably liked the sauces from nachos to the dips for quesadillas! 

 

 

As the other two arrived, we decided to order one viand and a pizza. For we're all trying to lose some weight or to that extent! Hahaha   

 

Tika Masala good for 2-3 person, Max & Bunny's Original recipe - chicken meat cooked with tomatoes (with generous paste I think)  and herbs and spices! A delish one for us! The tomato based soup/sauce for this one is really powerful and is good for pita bread as dip! haha

  

 

Pizza was of that "Meat Lover" flavor. You have to option of upgrading the end crust to have cheese on it for an added amount of Php80.00.

Took a while to be cooked because they ran out of pre-made pizza dough, so they made a fresh one for us! 

 

 

 

  

 

Flerida asked for hot coffee and the rest of us had Hot Sweet Honey Lemon as our last minute order drinks. They also have beers.

You'll notice the classy dining wares and utensils were being used, the staff informed us that these are all collections of the couple owner, which were all bought abroad during their trips/travels, hence the aesthetics.

 

  

 

 

We all enjoyed the meal we had, and the chit chats! We were glad that despite the semi-long waiting of our food, we were attended well by their waiters/staff. We also liked the idea of having bunnies around the resto, running, playing around.

Oh by the way, they are also selling bunnies/rabbits! Cheapest is Php500.00 depending on the breed, size and age!

Flaunt Your Pride with Pantene

 

The freedom to fully express one's identity without fear of judgement is the fruit of years of fighting for equal rights and representation, and every June, we celebrate how far we've come with LGBTQIA+ Pride month. 

 

It takes courage to embrace your truth and tell your story to the world. 

 

That's why it's important to put the spotlight on those who have already found the courage and confidence to flaunt their pride, so that they can inspire others to do the same — just like these strong women. 

 

Mela’s journey to womanhood began with her hair. After years of wearing synthetic wigs or putting a bath towel over her head, she finally let her hair grow long. 

 

“At first, I tried to joke about it, “Ma, pagbigyan mo na ako! Rocker na ako ngayon!” She shared on her Instagram post. As time went by, she realized that having straight, smooth, and jet black hair felt right. 

 

“I was meant to rock my hair with confidence.” She found pride in her crowning glory and made sure to give it the proper care it needed.

 

Every time people complimented my hair, my honest, consistent, and confident reply has always been, “Alagang Pantene yan!”, Mela proudly shared in her Instagram post.  

 

“I have always flaunted my hair with pride because [it] reflects my journey to being the free and authentic Mela that I am today. 

 

As a proud trans woman with feminine expression, my hair has been my source of power. And that’s definitely Salontastic!” 

 

 

“As a member and supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community, I, too have my own journey in raising my voice for my happiness and myself.”

 

Chezka shared on her Instagram. Chezka, like many others, was afraid of how her family and friends would react to her identity.  So, she joined predominantly female activities like modelling and beauty pageants as she tried to figure out how she wanted to present herself. Later on she realized that she wanted to express herself physically as a woman, “…and that’s why I started growing my long straight hair with Pantene. 

 

Because Pantene has always been there in helping me feel stronger and Salontastic! Flaunt your #Pride with Pantene. 

 

I’m truly thankful for my community in helping me understand them and myself. Know that you are not alone and that we are heard.” 

 

Allies also play a role in helping make the LGBTQIA+ community a safe space by fostering a culture of acceptance and respect, and advocating for equal rights and opportunities. 

 

Gabbi, an ally, shows her full support for the LGBTQIA+ community in her Instagram post. “I’ve always been a proud supporter ever since I was young. 

 

I believe that everyone should be treated with love and respect. There is definitely no room for hate in this world! 

 

Everyone can be Salontastic regardless of gender!” Let your hair take pride and flaunt it with Pantene Miracle Conditioners.
