Second Hairstyle of the Year: Dramatic Ash Gray


Hey everyone! How is weekend? 
If you follow me on my social media ( Instagram, Twitter, Facebook... Do follow me if you aren't! ^_^ ), you probably knew that I got a new do. This time I got a dramatic ash gray....
Unlike before, this time around I've pick some salons that Ive been meaning to try out and inquired if they can do the blue ombre hair and how much it would cost. The first salon Ive inquired said that they have a blue hair color but it's temporary only. I'm actually okay with it but the service is so expensive for a temporary ombre blue hair. Sad! :(
Since I really wanted to have a new hairstyle... I opted to avail DPS Salon and Spa hair services. I frequently have my nail spa here but its my first time to try their hair services. I've read and heard great reviews from friends who have tried on their hair services and so I trusted it'll be all good.
I initially plan to have an ombre blue hair but DPS salon doesn't have that hair color. They told me blue hair color is rarely available in salons because there's not much people who availed for it.
With not much luck on the hair color, I did got lucky to have availed DPS Salon promo that time. So for PHP795.00 (17.5 USD) I got the following services: hair color + haircut + hair spa.
What a steal! :D
The hairstylist recommended the hair color to try out. And I must say he did a great job. I received a lot of good compliments on my hair. In fact, my friend love it so much and got so jealous, that the day after she saw my hair, we both went to the salon so that she can also have the same hair color as mine. hahaha :D
Took a photo of my hair with flash (photos with green wall background) and on a natural daylight.
Give me a heart on my instagram photo if you like this hairstyle.

Since I didn't get to achieve to get the blue ombre hairstyle. I am thinking of trying out this take in Hair Extension. Somewhat the same as you in the photo. 
What do you think? Will it look good?

Is Your Life A Best Seller Webtoon?

If your life was a webtoon will it be a best seller one?

Before anything else... Hello there! Happy hump day!
Yes. I admit this post was inspired from the Korean drama, W. ^_^
This question just popped in my mind while watching the drama... I commend the writer for such a mind-bogglingly twists in every episodes. Even though it made the drama interesting, I almost give-up at episode 5... I think or somewhere there. :D Not that its a bad drama, its just that my brain was aching trying to figure out the drama. I have so many why and how. hahaha
And I was watching drama while working with my online job, to entertain me... However, the drama added more stressful thinking. That is why I almost give-up. XD
Good thing I didn't stop watching it because it was amazing and exciting in the end.
By the way, for those of you who haven't watch and interested to watch this Korean drama... I watch it here.

Now back to the question... 
If my life was a webtoon will it be a best seller? 
Or atleast interesting? 
Or will anyone bother to read it?
To be honest, my life now is not really exciting and just plainly routinary.
That is in comparison to my  past life which definitely has it's own taste of bitter-sweet dramas. My past has so many ups and downs, struggles, disappointments, heart-breaks and challenging twist that thought me a lot of my life's greatest lessons. If anyone reading my life story I bet they would learned a lot just as I did.
My past made me a strong and thriving woman that I am today.
Made me appreciate everything that I have now.
Made me grateful everyday, for every blessings and miracles in my life now.

Nobody would probably bother reading my life now if its a webtoon.
But no matter how boring my life now. I am thinking positively that soon a romantic comedy will soon unfold. And I'm excited because that's my fave genre. <3 p="">
And even though in reality a happy ending is non-existent... (Because for me... as long we are alive the chapters of the book of our life goes on and the journey continues. And so possibilities are still endless.) I still believe that there is no reason for us to lose hope, if our life story is a best seller or not. As long as we wake up each day, we have the chance to recreate our life, make it more exciting in a positive way and also make it the best selling story.

Happiness is just around the corner easily given to those who are willing to receive and share.

Hello September!

​Hi everyone! Im happy because its a long weekend. 
August left with a bang, as I receive several part-time job offers. Which left the first weeks of September very busy. I may not be earning big but I just felt so blessed being paid working on things that I love doing and having cool bosses to work with. And the bonus part is that I own my time and I can work anywhere I want.  
Talking about owning my time... my friend and I had an unplanned date this week. We just started with an "I miss you" conversation on Skype and the next thing happened is that where strolling at the mall together. We had so much fun catching up, eating, and shopping for there was an on going sale at the mall we happen to visit.
We really miss doing this dates. Since we rarely see each other nowadays, because my friends are now new moms and spends more time with their cutey babies. Infact, while me and friend had our date her baby's third wheeling with us. Which made it more fun and exciting because we got new experiences more than just eating, talking, and shopping together. 
Ofcourse I didn't miss the chance for her to take a snap of my outfit... I wore the new cami dress which I got from Sammydress.com. The dress is so chic and comfy. I just love wearing it. If you follow me on instagram (@venussmileygal) you probably see it on my feed a lot. 😆
Sorry not sorry... Infact there's more to come. Hahaha 

 How was your first week of September?

Fashionmia Style Board Inspiration


Sending my Monday greetings to y'all!
How was your weekend?
Today I'll be sharing some style ideas for bodycon dresses.
“The bodycon dress, or by its full name body conscious dress, shouldn't leave you feeling self-conscious about your body. Most women believe you have to have the perfect figure to rock this hot trend, but that is not particularly true. Choose the right undergarment to help smooth out your curves. Certain prints of the dress can also make your body appear to have an hourglass shape. Remember confidence is the best accessory and prints are your best friends.”
- Celebrity Stylist Ali Levine
Just discovered this online shop called Fashionmia and as I browse at their website they offer fashionable and cheap dresses. I found a lot of chic style boards posted on their Facebook page.
Since it inspires me, Ive collected some of the style boards particularly on bodycon dresses and Im sharing it here in my blog for inspiration. ;)
Drop me comments on what do you think about this and what style do you like most.

Inlove with Maxis and Side Slit


Happy Monday!
Today marks the end of the long weekend. It's back to school tomorrow so I'll be waking up early to take care of the kiddo's needs.
The kiddo's birthday last Saturday was fun and tiring at the same time. The city is celebrating its annual Higalaay Festival. So many people in malls and everywhere in the city because of so many events happening. It's crowded and traffic. (>.<) 
I don't know when this all started but I seem to enjoy quite places and/or places with limited people around. I'm no longer use to dealing with crowds. Even with friends Im connected to just a few...
If I hadn't promise the kiddo I wouldn't have go out. Anyways, it was his birthday wish. And it was worth it because he had fun. Ive granted all that he wanted to do on that day from catching Pokemons, to eating at his fave restaurant, as well as playing at the arcade (which gave me muscle aches the day after.)  
What touches me the most, is that with all those activities we did he always asked me if I enjoyed it as well. My heart melts...Such a sweet kid! It's his birthday but his thinking of me.
***
About the look....
This was actually taken last May.
You may see this sleeveless top a lot for I have worn this a lot already. I just love mix and matching this Basic House top with anything.  
 I'm currently inlove with maxis and side slit. The skirt is my new addition in my closet. Found it at Centrio Mall Bazaar.

Chic and Cheap Outerwears from EricDress


Finally its weekend!
What's your plan for the weekend? As for me I'll be busy pampering the kiddo coz its his birthday. Will be granting his wish and go Pokemon hunting at the mall as he requested. :D
Anyways, today on the blog I’ll be sharing chic outerwears that I would like to add in my closet since fall season is around the corner.
I’ve mentioned this in my previous post that I have low tolerance with cold air and so I always make sure to bring cardigans or long sleeve outerwear in my bag whenever I go out. It’s very useful when I am in high air-conditioned places or when I go home late in the evening where air is colder.
This outerwears I am sharing to you are all from Ericdress.com. I notice they have chic collections that are rarely found from other online shop at a cheap price. And the reviews on their products are mostly good quality.
You will notice that most of this are not really thick and most cloth materials are either polyester or cotton, just so it will be handy to carry anytime.

Lace Sun Protective Outerwear $18.04 – The cloth material is polyester. And I love the lace details at the back.


Solid Color Thin Sun Protective Clothing $14.24 – The cloth material is cotton. I have always wanted one of this perfect for bohemian outfits.

Elegant Sun Protective Cardigan $21.84 - The cloth material is cotton blend. I like it’s waterfall style and the colors as well.

Don’t forget to visit EricDress.com for cute hoodies for girls (click here), cool pullover hoodies (click here), and cheap plus size winter coats which is very useful for the coming season…

Looking for Gift Ideas at Groupon

This is a sponsored post. All opinions expressed in this post are mine.
Happy Hump day!
The weekend gets closer and I am excited for kiddo’s birthday.
The kiddo's birthday is going to be this weekend. I am so glad that the kiddo understands that his mom is not good at hosting parties that he requested to celebrate it at school with his classmates. So just like the past years, will be celebrating it on Friday at his school. This way his teacher will be facilitating the little celebration. :D Few weeks ago, my dilemma is that what gift to give him on his birthday…
Thankfully, I’ve browse on Groupon and got myself and instant idea. Will be buying him a mobile phone accessories… A powerbank and a bigger memory capacity. Still thinking if I include a mobile phone armband though. His been addicted to Pokemon Go and Minecraft so this accessories will very well come in handy for his mobile phone.
Buying birthday gifts can be tricky most specially for 11year old kid like mine who no longer enjoy playing toys much and prefers to spend more time in front of the laptop or play with his mobile phone.
For moms of a techy kids like mine I suggest you go checkout the Groupon Goods because there are so many great gift ideas you can get there. A time saver as well since products are just delivered at your doorstep. Not only that, you can also discover fun activities and get huge discounts on kids’ activities and new restaurants, spas, massages and hair salons in your city. A great money and time saver I must say!
