Review: Utena Matomage - Hair Styling Stick♥

source: Google.com

Finally, I found something that could tame my "tutchang" (hair frizz), baby hair - every time I wear my ponytail.  I normally use hair spray to make it look smooth, yes it holds our hair in place but it looks hard.

Utena Matomage is made in Japan and it comes in regular (pink) and strong (green) hold.  It's a hair wax in balm form. I got the green which is the strong hold and I loved it.  It really holds the loose hair without making  it look stiff and hard - giving my hair a natural finish.  It is also non-sticky and does not look greasy.

It's super easy to use, just apply it directly to you hair and it automatically does it magic.

I know it's already available here in the Philippines and you can get it from Online shopping sites.  Prices at around Php265.00 to P350.00.  I got mine as a pasabulong from Japan.  

If you will ask me if I will buy this product? Definitely Yes!♥

Til my next review!

Have you tried this new E-Alkansya?♥

Have you tried the BSP Coin Deposit Machine?  Due to the shortage of coins (in circulation), the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) recently launched this and will be partnering with retail establishments so it will be available to the public.  

What does the Coin Deposit Machine do?  This is like an Electronic Alkansya (E-Alkansya) you can deposit your coins (any denomination) and it will sorted and counted by the machine. Then you can send it directly to your E-Wallet such as GCash and Maya.

No more tedious process of counting your coins before depositing it to the bank.  It's very easy to use.  All you have to do is to follow the instructions on the machine.

I was able to try it at Robinson's Metro East.  I just brought a handful of assorted coins and cashed-it-into my GCash.  It only took me a couple of minutes.   

You will also receive a transaction receipt that shows the denomination, number of pieces of you and the total amount of your deposit.

Life Lessons♥

Life is a learning process.  Aside from home and school, life teaches us a lot of things through our experiences.  Experience is the best teacher.  We learn from our mistakes, it makes us strong and help us to be better.

Here are some of lessons I have learned for more than forty years.

1.  You cannot "Please" everybody - We don't need everyone's acceptance or you don't need everybody to agree with you.  As long as you are not stepping on one's foot, and you think you are doing the right thing.  But remember you must stay true with your values.

2.  Health is our valuable asset - As the saying goes: "Health is Wealth".  We must take care of ourselves: love, nurture and protect it.  We should not abuse our bodies,  let's start young in taking care of our health so we will not regret it when we get old.

3.  You don't always get what you want - This is one of the lessons, my grandparents taught me.  Even if you have exerted all your efforts there are things that is not meant to be.  But this must not stop you from pursuing other goals.  Just look on the brighter side, maybe there are other things that is meant for you.

4.  Love is more than a feeling: It's a choice - That outburst of feeling does not last long... each and everyday you learn something from the relationship you are in.  There may be ups and downs in a relationship but this does not mean that there is no long lasting relationship.  But staying in a relationship is a choice.  It's not all love... if you feel that the relationship you are in is already toxic and you already losing your self-respect, it's better to act and make a choice.  Loving yourself more is far more important.

5.  Patience is Virtue - Patience is the ability of a person to "wait" for something to happen without being frustrated.  This is really hard to do, but always remember that good things come to those who wait.  

6.  Don't delay your plans - Starting your plan is the only way to make it progress.  Like when you plan to save money, make an investment or open a business.  Better to start when you are young so you will not regret it in the future.  Seeing your plan progress everyday even if the percentage is small is better than not starting at all.

7.  Being Nice - This is self explanatory.  (ahaha)  Being kind to people will go a long way. God will always reward you for your kindness.

8.  Forgiveness - We should learn to forgive those who wronged us.  Another thing that is so hard to do, right?!  This takes time... But if you are ready to forgive the person, believe me you will have a sound sleep, you will breathe much better, and you will enjoy your life better.

9.  People Change - Change is constant.  The person you are today is not the person you are five or ten years ago.  If you are shy when you are younger, and you become more straight forward now is just normal.  A childhood best friend may not be your  best friend now, because people change and they choose different paths in life.  

10. Think first before doing something - We should always keep in mind that for every action there is an equal reaction.  Like nowadays... we always take to social media our thoughts or feelings and then we regret it when we get negative reactions from our followers.  So before doing something we should think first before doing it (less talk less mistake).
