Sunsilk is one of the haircare brands that’s quite popular in my country (Philippines). Very commercial. And I guess getting Shakira and Madonna as image models will make them be more popular and much, much more commercial. Heh.
I’m not using their shampoo but I do love the intensive treatment hair conditioner, though.

Vaseline has a new image model, Sarah Michelle Gellar. The brand is more widely known for their hand and body care products. Gellar will now carry the “smooth skin” mantra.
Here in my country (Philippines), they’ve made quite a name for themselves in their hair care line, Vaseline Shampoo.
Here’s a sample of an old Vaseline advert with Heart Evangelista: (note, dialogue in Filipino)

ME. I do.
I spent most of yesterday out on lunch meetings, coffee with friends and another meeting. We did a bit of window shopping, too. But finally our final stop before dinner is back to F Salon in First Aid, Greenbelt. I’ve got a date with the other Rico in my life. My hairstylist, Rico Gallego.
Oh, yes. I know it’s just close to a month since I had my bob hair cut but I was itching to get something shorter. Yes, shorter than the hair I’m sporting now. Heh.
Without further ado, it’s Sasha …read more

I was just getting myself acquainted with the Asian brand Shu Uemura for the past few months, actively that is and then I find out that the genius behind it passed away last month due to Pneumonia at age 79. I was taken by surprise.

I know I just had a haircut a month back but I had intended to get something shorter. I wish I had met Phoebe then. I so loved her funky, edgy hair when I first saw it during the Blogger Mixer and I had told myself, “she has got to take me to her stylist!” Yes. That’s how badly I wished to get away from my boring long locks. Gah.
Thank god for Phoebe, who did take me to her stylist over at F Salon and helped me find a fabulous hair style, I went and got “BOB-ed”. I had needed …read more

A trip to a local drugstore signaled the start of new health regimen for me. My current weight of 83 lbs worries the heck out of a lot of people — mainly family and friends. They often mistake me to have some sort of eating disorder whereas I’m just bad at eating right AND sleeping right. So, to answer the ultimate question, I am not suffering from anorexia or bulimia. And, no, I’m not in denial. Heh.
I reckon I thought it best to let you guys in on something this personal cuz I believe this is part of all things …read more
