6 Incredible Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar
#6 Remove dandruff Dandruff is more than just a nuisance – it’s embarrassing! Salon sprays are costly, but with apple cider vinegar, your dandruff destroyer will cost only pennies per spray. Just mix equal parts (about 1/4 cup each) apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray onto your hair after shampoo, let sit for 15 minutes and rinse. Use twice per week, and you should be flake free in no time.

NEWS: Maybelline Squad + Hyperink Liquid Liner
Maybelline has been part of my make-up life even before I started blogging. A memory I can recall, and never forget was my JS Prom 2003 (yes, now you can calculate my age lol). My mom brought me to a salon where their staff did their makeup on me and que horror! I looked liked a witch, even the children outside thought I was scary. My brows were too black, lips fuchsia pink, and blush contour that looked like it was done in the 80’s horribly. It was an emergency SOS situation. It was still 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the prom starts at 7pm so I still have time to remedy it.…

Manila Sundance Bazaar Make-Overs with L’Oreal Paris
Hello BBs! Manila Sundance Bazaar sent me an invitation a couple of weeks ago if I was interested in becoming their partner blogger. They invited me to give make-overs to lucky guests on their Fashion and Beauty fair. I gave the e-mail a good 5 minutes of contemplation. Anxiety ran through my head. Can I do this?

Despite my nerves telling me to say no, I said yes. I live with the saying of “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”. This means…
