Finally, finally, finally! UNIQLO will be now available in Mindanao!! As I mention before, I love buying my clothes whenever I visit Manila since almost all fashion brands can be found there. But thankfully Davao City is slowly growing and many international brands are starting to branch out here.
Yasssss! It’s summer!! Hello to adventures, beaches and of course the sunshine. Summertime is the best time to go outdoors. To see what’s out there. Meeting new people. Exploring new places. There are so much things to look forward during summer.
In line of their Kiosk Relaunching, they also prepared a makeup workshop for beauty and makeup lovers. The workshop features the products of Clinique and how to shift your basic daytime look to night out look. Me and my Davao Bloggers Friends, Eliza, Claudine, Sunshine and SP were invited to the 1st day of the workshop.
This is a super late post but better late than never! haha! Actually, my birthday was on October 13. Days before my birthday, I was invited to an event which is the Mindanao Beauty Expo 2016. In this said event, I got the chance to have a make-over. Since my birthday is near, I just treated it as a an advance birthday make-over for myself.
Since I was still a kid, I always been a Mcdo lover. My all time favourites are their Fries, Chicken ala King, Mushroom Soup and Coffee Float. That is why I was so thrilled when I’ve heard that they are having a new addition to their menu this new year. Introducing the all new Mcdonald’s Mushroom Pepper Steak!
Here comes 2017! A new year to look forward to. Another 365 pages to write to in your book called life. New years came with new hope, aspirations and resolutions. Some says new year, new me. But in my case, I don’t want a new me. I just want a improve version of me A.K.A sweetroxieee 2.0. haha!
Everybody loves eating. Well who doesn’t? The pleasure you get when you eat what you have been craving for the whole day is really satisfying. Most especially if it was your favourite ice cream, pizza, cake and etc. However, these guilty pleasures of ours are destroying our health. Here comes in the importance of working out.
Last October 10, 2016, days before my birthday, Hairs and Nails Salon were looking for hair models for the Mindanao Beauty Expo 2016. Together with my DBS Family, we volunteered to be their models. At first, I was hesitating. Because my hair is quite damaged already since I bleached it by myself last year. Also they said that we will model it on stage and I do have this stage fright thing. But I thought, well you only live once. That is why I grab this opportunity.
For starters, Mindanao Beauty Expo or MBEX is a gathering of professional hairstylist, beauty brands and beauty aspirants where there are exhibits, seminars and competitions.
A day before the event, we were asked to go to the salon to prep for the show. Look at that nervous face. I was really nervous that time because I was assigned to a hair stylist from Hong Kong and he doesn’t know how to speak english. So it’s so hard to ask what color I am getting. Plus my hair will be bleached again. Oh my poor hair. Sorry your owner really like some changes.
Since I was quite nervous, the Mondes Professional Team talked to me and assured that Mr. Kenny, the hair stylist from Hong Kong is an expert on hair coloring. And he would really choose the color that best suits my skin tone.
So with the use of Semon Professional Hair color, Mr. Kenny mixed the colors and come up with a Ash Blond Color for my hair. I always wanted to achieve this color.
So here is the initial result! The color is not that noticeable at first but they said that it will be lighter after a shower. The team also agreed to make me their model for their hair treatment which they call the CarePlex Hair Treatment which is best to revive dry and damage hair like mine.

Here comes the day! At first, they treated my hair on stage so that the audience would see the changes. I was quite nervous walking in the stage since it was my first time to experience this. And who would thought that a small girl like me with a height of less than 5 ft, would become a model and walk in a stage. I was feeling elated that day. I know it’s just a small event but all things starts small right? hehe.

So here is a closer look for my hair. I really love the color! Plus they also treated my hair! I am so happy that I took up my courage and signed up to this event. There are no regrets at all. I learned that if an opportunity knocks, open it. Opportunity knocks only once. You never know if you’ll get another one.
