Perfect Prom Dress

There’s only a little more than two weeks to go before my daughter’s prom night, and we are having a difficulty on where to find the perfect prom dress for her. If only the school administration decided earlier on whether or not they would be holding a prom this year, then we could have made […]

To dye or not to dye

Oh dear, it is that age when strands of silvery hair start peeking out and you can’t hide them anymore. For some people, it comes earlier than usual. Take for instance musician/composer Ryan Cayabyab. His hair started to grey very early. It’s in the genes.

A day before….

A day before said occasion, I got a pedicure-manicure treatment. This time, instead of going to my ’suki’ (regular) manicurist, I went to my hairdresser’s salon.

Prom girl

One of the things I love for having a daughter is that I don’t get left behind when it comes to fashion trends. Indeed, with my daughter (though I reiterate - she is not a favorite child because I don’t go for favoritism….lol) I am updated on what is in or what is out, what is trendy or […]
