Ever since I turned my hair purple, I have been getting questions from people on where I had it done, how long does it last and how do I maintain it. I actually don't know why it took me awhile to do this unbiased review, but here it goes! ^_^
The first time I dyed my hair purple was September 2014 and I did it with the help of experts, because I would normally not trust myself with doing something that extreme and because I don't know how to deal with bleach. Thankfully, the big change I did with my hair got a lot of good feedback from people and since then, I haven't gone back to my pure black tresses. But since my hair is purple, it easily fades and the shade would go from dark purple to magenta in just a span of two weeks. That's pretty fast. I had a total of two retouches and eventually they would go pinkish and to the awful bronze and copper shade that every colored-hair person dreads.
Basically, in a span of three months, I had my hair colored three times and that's three times the bleaching as well. -_- That's how high maintenance it is to have purple locks or any bright/pastel color for that matter, ladies and gentlemen.
But I had enough of bleaching my hair too much, so I decided I would just cut my hair little by little until the bronzy shade would disappear.... Until, I found the thing that would just let me keep my purple strands longer. :)

Being able to say 'YES!' to everything can be difficult at times to us women. Some people have the impression that we're weak or there are some things that we cannot do. But why let those opinions stop us from pursuing our dreams, right?
Last July 23, I was invited on a date at The Henry Hotel Manila by 'S. I'm not sure if you saw it online, but a lot of fellow bloggers were invited by this certain 'S' as well. Being the curious type, I just had to say 'YES!" to S. :)

The hotel is pretty close by my place, so I was on time for my date!;) Isn't the place just beautiful?
Are you wondering who 'S' is and what this date is all about? :)
