NOVUHAIR Turns Favor with Holiday Bash Promo at Watsons Philippines

Hello Gentlemen and Lovely Ladies!

Watsons Philippines - Free NOVUHAIR Herbal Shampoo 200 ml worth Php 1,040 if you buy a NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack at participating stores nationwide. (DOH-FDA CCRR Permit No.: 967 s. 2017)

So you’ve got your festive outfit set and the fancy gift wrapped for your “monito” or “monita". All that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle. 

The fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition, likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile.

Adding damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the natural oil and luster of your mane.

Because you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you go. Be careful on what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your ‘do.

Hello Lovely Ladies and Bellas!

8 Weekly Planner Spreads | Ideas and Inspirations for the 2017 and 2018 Belle De Jour Power Planner (#BeforethePen) | by +The Graceful Mist (www.TheGracefulMist.com)

2017 is coming to a close end. This year, I was able to try decorating my weekly planner spreads more. It was fun even though it took some time before I was able to actually jot down my activities and plans for the week.

I also made a post, "My 5 Planning Tools for Daily, Weekly and Monthly Planner Spreads" about the top planning tools or materials I often use whenever I decorate or plan my weekly planner spreads. You may read it for more details as I included in that post the majority of the things I used in the weekly planner spreads below. As far as I can accurately remember, I didn`t spend any money in designing my planner spreads since I`ve had so many leftover art and decorative materials since I was in elementary. I simply used available items I had at home.

The 2018 Belle De Jour Power Planner`s weekly spreads are very similar to the 2016 and 2017 versions which is why you can still get inspirations from the weekly planner spreads below:

I`ve already tried this shopping website and also made a blog post about the products I received. So far, I haven`t experienced anything negative worth mentioning from the products I received from the first and second sets of order.

Back when I was younger, around 14-17 years old, I often carried big bags. I often thought I need to be as prepared as I could be to the point wherein I`m carrying unnecessary items because I was very exaggerated in my preparations. However, when I turned 18, I discovered the beauty and comfort of small purses. Hence, why I used my Zaful Cat Handbag so much.

Hue & Me | Art Appreciation Event

Hello Graceful Girls!


A few months ago, ArtisteSpace in cooperation with SMX Convention at SM Aura held an art appreciation event open for all. Hue and Me had different types of art displayed by different artists.

Hue & Me | Art Appreciation Event |  Art by Mr. Ronald Castrillo | Blog Post by @TheGracefulMist (www.TheGracefulMist.com)

This is one of the first few art pieces I saw and it became one of my favorites. The sculpture looks like a couple dancing on top of a rock. I liked the minimalist look with the simple silver body and transparent heads.  The beautiful art piece beside it is also one of my most admired sculptures in the event.
