Scuba Diving Is My New Love, and Summer Essentials For Sea Adventures!



johnong1

ugh, look at my hair here, and my bare face! Funny, I still managed to pose! =))))

Perhaps this must be my most unglamorous photos in my entire life being posted in public, but somehow, I don’t mind. I was surprised at myself with that reaction, with me, having that need to always look good and presentable anywhere. I think I know why I didn’t mind being part of a Dealgrocer ad, with my hair all disheveled, and drenched in hair-killing saltwater, and me sans the makeup and even my eyebrows ( ack!!! diving after one hour erases even the most waterproof eyebrow makeup! ) .

makeup-less, but I am at my happiest. One of those times when I say, “I don’t care how I look like.” I’m happy playing Little Mermaid underwater, with my tank and paraphernalia. Hahahaha!

I am happy. Scuba diving makes me really, really happy. Continue reading

Reminiscing My Snoe Beauty Filled Summer

Picture gone all wrong. Quikpod showing, and Sharlyn on the phone! But it’s quite a cute goofy shot, don’t you think?

Summer. I’m usually speechless, or quiet about summer, as I choose to spend the time closing my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun, hearing the crash of the waves, the whispering caresses of the wind while I’m at sea. I live for summer, I am a tropical person, I would gladly choose the beach over a cold place. I can live in the beach for the rest of my days, if I’m lucky. Being born during the Summer Solstice, the first day of summer, and the longest day of the year, it figures why I’m such a beach lover.

For Summer 2012, I am praising the sun with my new allies from Snoe Beauty. These babies have won my heart ever since I have checked their booth during the Rockwell Moonlit Bazaar last December. Now, I just find myself hoarding stuff whenever I visit their branch in Cinderella at Glorietta!

I went on a quick beach trip with my family to Mactan, Cebu during one idle weekend. Cebu is one of my favorite places, with its laid back charm, and my favorite resort, Mactan Shangri-la!

Beautynomics Review : Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Intense Argan Oil Cleansing Conditioner

With my bleached and ash blonde hair right now, you must be thinking if I had regrets with it. Well, as soon as I went home and faced the mirror, a realization just swept on to me – I needed to maintain it, and at that moment, I just remembered seeing some people who have had hair bleached like mine with their hair looked really dry and damaged already – which explains why I was scared of getting adventurous with my hair color and stalled bleaching for a while. I realized that bleached hair and colored hair was prone to damage. ( just now? ok pardon my craziness ) Okay, Sophie. Your hair is not going to the dry and damaged direction. You are going to do absolutely everything to keep it nice and soft-looking!

As I have been told by the staff at Creations Salon that my hair looked really healthy despite getting bleached months before ( my hair was bleached since August ), I credited it to my using organic shampoo and conditioner by Venus and Mars. I cracked the code and realized that using sulfate-free cleansers is the reason why my hair has been this healthy. So now, I’ve really been trying organic hair care products to take care of my hair.

For the longest time already, my hair has been really particular with conditioners as it is categorized as dry and damaged. Regular conditioners simply won’t do, and I consider deep-conditioning masques as my daily conditioner and really, really quench my hair with the needed moisture as it needs it. I remember that quite well during my rebonded, and coloured hair days. Now that it’s bleached, and really light, it definitely needs more tender lovin`.

I’ve been hearing alot of good things about the wonder ingredient Argan Oil for the skin, and the hair. Argan Oil is a really rare kind of oil found in Morrocco, that is loaded with Vitamin E and antioxidants. So when I chanced on Snoe Beauty’s booth at the Rockwell Moonlit Bazaar (see, I am always a good neighbor to my bazaar neighbors, mahilig akong mangapitbahay hahaha!) I reserved their Hair Heroes Intense Argan Oil Cleansing Conditioner for the hair. I saw the price tag – almost P500.00, hmmm not so cheap, and a bit expensive. But I was willing to try it. If it breaks out my scalp, then goodbye, and maybe my sisters who have less sensitive scalps can use them, and if yes, it’d be a gem forever in my bath essentials! Key word was also “liquid gold.” Who can ever resist that? So checkout!
