Hair styling is one of the most important daily morning rituals I do. To me, a well-groomed hair spells a lot of difference. A well groomed hair includes getting the right hair cut done by a professional hairstylist, using the right hair washing and conditioning products and lastly, the defining moment of them all, is using the right hair styling products to keep that crowning glory in tip-top shape.

Sharing with you in this fifth vlog is my favorite hair styling wax and hair spray from Gatsby. Nope, this is not a sponsored product review. I just happen to love the products so much that I decided to feature them here. I have been using them ever since I can remember.

Since my brother, Jemdahunk, loves the Glacial Marine Mud so much, we decided to make a demo video. Contrary to the almost abrasive “charcoal-slash-glue” blackheads remover circulating online, this facial mud pack is light and gentle. Probably one of the best facial mud packs I have come across recently!

Glacial Marine Mud is rich in minerals, sourced from a remote glacial estuary in the Pacific Northwest. It is great for all-over body use, too. It is safety-allergy-dermatologist tested and effectively removes impurities and dead skin cells without affecting normal cells. There is less flaking when dried due to the presence of sea botanicals. There is minimal water separation, too.

This forms part of my almost weekly skin care routine which I coined as Mud Pack Saturday. It is also one great way to spend quality time with friends and family while catching up on things that transpired during the week or while watching a game on TV or during a Game of Thrones marathon on a Saturday.

This amazing product is a must-try. Great testimonials abound online, too. Go and visit the shop now! Free shipping within the Philippines.

Hope you guys enjoy the weekend and have a blast! Signing out for now. Peace!

Growing up, I remember my Mom would always tell me to give a full smile whenever there is a photo-opportunity.  But I never took it to heart.

A full smile would mean to show more teeth. As a teenager, I thought it was not cool. I thought it was lame (pa-cute). Instead, I opted for that pa-cool no teeth smile until it has already become a norm. Case in point would be my Instagram timeline. After realizing this, I willed myself one day to practice smiling with the aid of a mobile phone.

Me practicing the different ways (and levels) of smiling. What a geek!

In retrospect, I guess the reason for this pa-cool smile over the years boils down to a personal insecurity. Or, so I thought. Aptly put, it was more of a mind conditioning. Thanks to the gazillion Hollywood movies I saw as a child growing up. I thought that my teeth were not sparkling white enough to dawn that big smile.  I wanted to have a celebrity-white set of teeth!

Ang arte! I can’t believe I am sharing this!

Well, my teeth have always been more yellowish than average. My dentist told me that teeth are naturally off-white in color. I read, too, that genetics and environment play a big role; Teeth turn more yellow with age; They can get stained by drinking coffee, tea or red wine and eating certain fruits and vegetables such as apples and potatoes; Smoking or chewing tobacco is also a big no-no; Several diseases, medications, and trauma can likewise cause discoloration.  Despite learning all of these, I still wanted my teeth whiter.

As a sweet tooth, needless to say, regular proper brushing and flossing are mainstays of my personal hygiene. Likewise, it is a must that I visit my dentist on a regular basis for my oral health. Every now and then, I would consult my dentist if I could undergo a whitening procedure.

Other treatment options to whiten teeth may be seen here.

Me in a happy place feasting on two of my favorite things in the world, Mango Bravo and red wine (in a water glass, lol). Weird combination, right? Walang basagan ng trip! I must say that I am salivating right now as I type this. That luscious slice of Mango Bravo of Contis is to die for! 

Over the years,  this obsession with whiter teeth has turned me into a hoarder of various brands of over-the-counter whitening toothpaste. Searching far and wide, to my surprise, I have the following in my cabinet. Some I even bought abroad.

Just recently, I came across one product that would knock all these out to oblivion. The product claims to whiten teeth while fighting plaque:

• Removes stains while whitening, brightening and polishing teeth for a radiant smile;
• Provides a long-lasting fresh, clean mouth while aiding in prevention of dental cavities;

I tried the product. I must admit that I was completely blown away after seeing the effect of using it for the first time. Check out the before and after first use photos below.

Now, more than ever, I have every reason to smile… a big smile. Okay, I know I need more practice in flashing those pearly whites for a selfie. LOL.

Here is me brushing my teeth using this awesome product for the first time while singing Happy Birthday in my head four times in a row.

Sharing is caring and caring is sharing. Please share this post with friends and family.

Follow me, too, as I feature the remaining skin care and other essentials in my man-bag in my upcoming posts. Signing out for now. Peace.
