In the Philippines!

Hey Everyone! I'm in the Philippines!!! My parents and I arrived here January 3rd, and so far i'm lovin it :) Its always great to see all my cousins, aunts, and uncles! My cousins are so friendly and welcoming. I'm excited to spend this whole month with them :) Gosh I love it here, everyone seems so chill and relaxed. It's easy to get around too! A tricyle ride from my parent's house to the market is only 30pesos, which is equivalent to about 65cents. Food is unbelievably affordable as well! At pizzahut, 2 slices of pizza cost 52pesos, $1.10!

(In the Jeepney! There were 12 of use in the back)

(Kamay Ni Hesus Healing Church in Lucban, Quezon. 301 steps to the top!)

I'll be here until Feb. 5th, so I won't be uploading as many videos as usual. I recorded a few videos before I left Seattle and never had the chance to upload them. The internet connection is slow here. I tried uploading a video and an hour later it wasn't even a quarter percent uploaded! I'll upload as soon as I'm in a place with high speed internet. Anyway, here is a sneak peak of my upcoming videos:

So how is everyone's New Year coming along?!?

Remington Beach Wave Rollers

Yeah, i'm addicted to curling my hair! You guys gotta try this out!

Why I love it:
- uses little heat
- comes with a travel case
- Simple
- can create different waves (depending on how much hair you put in each roller)
- you can sleep with them on, comfortably :)
- SUPER AFFORDABLE ( as low as $12.99 !)

Downside:
- time consuming (It takes a bit longer to heat up)


So there are obviously more positives than negatives. I'm sure you can find them anywhere online. I know amazon sells them!

New Years look: Silver and Black

Ever wondered what happened to the Ashanti inspired makeup tutorial I did awhile back? It got deleted due to copyright infringement :( All is good though! I re-created the look with a bit of "BAM"! You can pretty much tell the difference from these photos. Anyhooo, you gotta try this look entering the New Year!!!

No, he's not desperate or anything, just thought it would be nice to hook him up. Or even just find a good friend. I've known "P" for about 8 years now. He's a humble and sweet guy. Comment here ladies ;)
