The feeling of pampering your stressed out strands is actually quite good.
By some stroke of luck, I chanced upon this opportunity to win a free hair treatment from Shunji Matsuo Hair Salon @ 313 and I jumped at the chance.
And I won! Hurray!
This is the e-voucher that I won!
Valid for a FREE Biolage express hair treatment. Biolage is their newly launched product so this is one good opportunity for people to try it out. Word of mouth works wonders.
After accessing my hair condition, my stylist proceeded to wash my hair and do the treatment. I've done rebonding before so I'll need fortethérapie some extra care for chemically weakened hair. My hair is also prone to frizziness, especially since lately I haven't been putting on my hair serum, so I'll need the smooththérapie.
There are 2 steps to the hair treatment.
First, my stylist did the fortethérapie Cera-Repair In-Salon Treatmentfor me.
"fortethérapie strengthens weakened hair, combining forces of science and nature to reconstruct while boosting vitality, and smoothing hair. Damaged hair is strengthened while building resistance against future breakage."
Benefits:
For weak, overworked, brittle hair
Intensive repair and strengthening to reduce breakage
Highest ceramide levels for extra strengthening
Paraben-free and synthetic dye-free
Eco-conscious packaging
Next, he applied the smooththérapie Ultra Control Deep Smoothing Masque.
"smooththérapie smoothes frizzy, unruly, medium to coarse hair with the silky serum of Camellia flower seed to continuously control frizz in hot, humid seasons while replenishing hair’s moisture during dry cool seasons. Hair stays naturally smooth,year-round, even in up to 97% humidity*."
What is a friend? I will tell you, it is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. - Frank Crane
If what Mr Crane said is true, I think you'll be hard put to find someone who can accept you for who you really are and not judge you on what you wear.
Never sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it. - Sex and the City
But then again, do you have the guts to continue to be yourself even when it seems the people whom you call friends have a problem with it?
The sudden overwhelming rush of unhappiness knocked me off my feet.
Jealous of the freedom, the kind of freedom I''ve never had, will never have.
Jealous of the trust, the kind of trust I've never earned, will never have.
Jealous of the happiness, the kind of happiness I've never experienced, and will never feel.
Jealous of the extravagance, the kind of extravagance I've never had, and will never have.
Jealous of the femininity, the kind I've never learned, and will never learn.
Jealous of the innate ability, the kind people grow to possess, the kind I've never grown to have.
Jealous of the adventure, the kind I've never seen, and will never have.
Jealous of the wanderlust, the kind I can only feel, and never act upon.
Depressed at my absolute failure as a female
Disappointed at my absolute failure as a girl
Dejected that I never seem to live up to anyone's expectations
Dismayed that I never seem to live up to my own expectations
Dispirited at my utter lack of confidence in myself
Drowning in this complete wreck of a remnant that used to be me.
This is an awesome awesome movie. All the nominees aren't there just for show you know.
It's a touching story of how a man embraces a career that is under -appreciated and unacknowledged and considered improper by everyone, even his wife. It's touching and enlightening and it makes you think..
The moments he spent in the bath were significant, it seemed to be when he let go of everything and pondered over life's little things, over his job..
Rokyo Hirosue plays the main character's wife. I think she's everyone's ideal woman, cooks clean wash and adores the husband and exceptionally gentle and charismatic.
Yes the career is this. Dressing and sending the departed off. Dealing with bodies and tearful families. It's not a job everyone can do, you got to be respectful yet professional. Calm steady hands and a calm steady heart.
You learn alot, from observing the families of the bereaved.
This scene is beautiful. It's accompanied by soulful cello music that really tugs at your heartstrings.
From a rookie, he is now a pro. But that doesn't mean the job gets any easier.
This is also a really touching scene. Stones are used here to represent one's hopes and emotions. The receiver gets to interpret the meaning of the stone. It's significant because it represents the change in the main character's feelings.
Go and watch this movie. I promise you won't regret it.
Instax camera! Have been saving up since a gazillion years ago and I still haven't bought it yet. Yes, what's wrong with me you ask. I have no idea.
Doraemon film. Cute right!
The entire DKNY apple series of perfume reminds me of lovely windy summer days. of frolicking in the sun, of picnics and of carefree days. How nice is that!
A wallet.
This is a lousy example photo, but yes, I need one because my current one is dropping my money all over the place!! BOOO!
Yummy body scrub! Heehee.. Body shop items always smell soooooo nice but they're forever so expensive. =/ Which is where the patience comes in, waiting for promotions and discounts!
Steamcream! The best lotion I've ever tried. Super moisturizing and non-greasy. Miracle cure for my dry skin. The elements are killing my skin, eurghh..
Olympus EP3!
That or a Canon G12. Its a close fight. I'm still deliberating. HAHA!
Yes I suppose that ends this post, unless I remember something all of a sudden... ;)
