Peace Love and Blowouts at the Dry Bar

By | Beauty, Travel | 2 Comments

When we arrived in Dallas, Mom was looking for a salon to have a blow dry.  There were several in the mall but many would not take her because she did not have an appointment.  I am so glad we stumbled into this place that took Mom in immediately.  All they do is blow outs!  LOVE THIS PLACE!


Some candy by the bar 🙂

Camera Shy Peekaboo I Love You

By | Beauty | No Comments

Heart2Heart is guilty about being camera shy!  Though I love taking photos of people!  Thanks to Dove for always giving all women out there the confidence to be beautiful inside and out!

Dove has always been committed to creating a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. As you will see in this short film, these adult women all hid from the camera when they were faced with it. A lot of us are probably guilty of doing the same thing too! Yet, as little girls, we did not even think twice about facing the camera and showing off our real, beautiful selves.

We’re inviting women to reflect on the point in their lives when they became their own worst beauty critics and encouraging them to be their own beautiful selves.

And don’t forget to be your own beautiful self!

Pursuing Her Dreams

By | Beauty, Fashion | No Comments

 During the launch of SM Aura, I bumped into Mariza as she was modelling for a perfume brand in SM

Previous Entry:  Launch of SM Aura May 17, 2013 

 You could not miss her as she really stood out!  She was standing by the ribbon cutting ceremony and waiting for Sarah Jessica Parker to arrive 🙂

 I featured her several times here in Heart2Heart and through those years she has grown up so much and has had plenty experience.

Mariza, Mig, Nic and Iya April 28, 2009 

Now she has been so busy modelling all over the place! She told me several years back that she wanted to be a model.  Many young girls want and dream to be models and nowadays it is very competitive with many many pretty young girls out there.  

Mariza pursued that dream and is now one! I am so happy and proud of her!

Beauty Salons in Kalayaan at Barangay Poblacion

By | Beauty | 2 Comments

Mia and Des were familiarizing us with the area and we were saying that it could become like a SOHO of Manila with many quaint restaurants and shops.  Hoping to get to try other places in the area.  

After lunch, Mia took us to her neighbours 🙂 both of which are salons.  So when you go visit Mia – you can shop, eat and then have your salon day too 🙂

In the corner is supposedly ” Manila’s best kept secret” – well not anymore! haha.  It is on the left side of Mia’s place and there are no signs – it is in the corner of Matilde and Kalayaan

This is the front of the place

 There are only two seats in this place. I had to blur the person in the chair because she got so mad at me for taking her picture.  I was not really taking her photo but more of the place.  Anyway, it goes to show you that the people who come here really want to be private

I went to get a business card 

Robert and Alan are their names

Not sure who was who because I got so scared of that girl – we just left to avoid disturbing the clients.  But this guy was very nice – he was happy I took his photo and he was chatting with Mia and Des

 On the right side is another salon – Be Beautiful FOR HIM!  I thought for him meaning your husband or whoever – but apparently my friend Sam who goes here said HIM means “GOD” 🙂 

 Here is the place.  No frills but many many customers come here!  The owner did not want me to take her photo, first she said because she was not fixed, then later she even said no more when she found out I was posting this in the internet.  She did not want.  She told me she was happy already with her present clientelle

 The owner is so religious according to Sam.  I took her altar under the aircon

 This was why we really came!  Mia and Des said that they sell yummy snacks and chicharon – so we went to look for it – and the girl took us behind this pink curtain

 At the time that we went, there was only this- calamansi juice and peanuts:

I attended a workshop of Rustan’s for La Prairie

Organized by the beautiful ladies of the Cosmetics and Toiletries division of Rustan’s – JC Festin and Cessie Colayco.  My Lola made sure that all the managers of Rustan’s were all pretty and presentable to represent the store and for the Cosmetics Division they have to be pretty and have beautiful skin 🙂  Until now that standard is kept
