Before going to the event I prepared a lot of calling card about 100 pcs. also I bring along with me a notebook and a pen thinking that I need to right about something. An Email from the admin notes that bloggers should bring calling cards, so that we can give these to the booths for their database and if they will be having raffles.


I didn't pass on all of the booths because they we're all scattered in the venue. Let me enumerate all the booths I went to:

9. Ace Water Spa - according to their site - derived from the Latin Phrase "Salus per Aquam" or "Sanitus per Aquam" meaning Health through Water. Since then, Water has been a vital element in cleansing, relaxing and healing because its curative properties. In England, back in the 16th century, the Romans came up with an idea to undergo "medicinal bathing" to soothe and treat body illnesses by the roman soldiers, thus hydrotherapy was born.

10. SOGO Hotel -  that offers you comfort, cleanliness, privacy, parking and security at affordable room. 

11. Food Panda - The leading mobile and online food ordering marketplace | Order food and take away from over 30.000 restaurants in over 35 countries. I wasn't able to have a pic with their booth but I also enjoy their mini game. 
12. Victoria Court - offers a variety of themed rooms perfect for your party.
13. Aqua Best - provide a quality drinking water. 


My overall experience here in my first Blogapalooza attendance is a mix of excitement and a little of "bitin". "Bitin" in a way that I walk around the hall and gather all the flyers, participated the mini games and talk to the sponsors, but there are some sponsors that talks a little like register here then after you register that's it. No Information about the brand or anything that I can blog about their stuffs. I also heard that previous Blogapalooza is better than this year because all the brands are interactive. I am also confused where to go first hahahaha I was overwhelmed with the lots of the people I saw. Well, for me it is not about the freebies that I got but the information that I collected from all the brands to share with my readers. I Congratulates the Organizer of Blogapalooza for a Successful event this year. Me and my Husband enjoy the event. I will surely join the next year's event to promote my blog and to be able to meet my co-bloggers. Cheers

Review : Sally's House of Beauty

12:45 AM
Sally House of Beauty interior
Recently my hair seems to be boring, I wanted to get that summer looking hair (even it is nearly Christmas season) I just want to be different. So I decided to drop by at Sally's House of Beauty. It is located at 266 M.A. Fernando St. Sta.Cruz , Angat, Bulacan. I know it is on a province but why not give it a try. I heard a lot of good things about this salon.

Last Sunday my Mom and I went to the salon. We avail two different Services, Mom tried their Promo which is the Milk Rebond and I tried there signature Ombre/ Highlight Hair color. To give you a sneak view about their works look at the pictures below. 
Hair transformation
Why not add some colors to your hair?

Hair transformation sample
Lovely curls?

Or a Straight, Silky hair?

Every women has their own dream hair. So am I, I browse a lot of pictures in pinterest to see what I want to do in my hair. I already went to a curl hair which didn't work for me because when my hair is already dry it is straight already. I went to different colors, blue black, brown, ash blonde. But today I want to achieve that summer looking hair, and ombre is the best hair i would choose. 

Sally's House of Beauty is very cozy, the seats are very comfortable. The hair dresser named Chris is very accommodating, because I can't decided what color combination for my hair he help me to choose. It is a mix of ash blonde with dark brown color.
coffee for the waiting time

So the process is first He colored my hair with dark brown color, i forgot to take a picture that time, then waited for about 30 mins and rinse the color. Next procedure was the bleaching of my hair. He portioned my hair into 4 parts, gather some hair then lather the bleach/ correction formula to the ends of my hair , he also put a light amount to the top. Waited for about 20 mins then rinse off again. The last step was the ash blonde color, then they treated my hair with a keratin I think. So here is my hair now.

My ombre hair!
The color is just lovely and Chris describe it as minimal but elegant. Well I love it definitely. Here's my mom's hair after the treatment
Sally's House of beauty mom's hair

My overall feedback about this salon is here:

They have a nice interior , a white motif plus a floral accent is a plus. Mirrors are all big, comfortable chairs. Also i was able to charge my phone so thank you so much. The rinsing chair (well I don't know what is it called but that chair) is good.


the process


hair dresser and me




 My neck is now stiff like in David's Salon that I need to adjust my head every time they will rinse my hair. Another thing they have a free coffee. Also they shared to us that if you come about 10:00 am - 11:00 am customers will have a free lunch while doing the treatments or the salon stuffs. It is because the salon is too far from the food stalls so they offer a free lunch to their customers. Attendants and Hair dresser have a pleasing personalities. 
Sally's House of beauty staffs

Sally's House of Beauty Salon is owned by two sisters, Rica and her older sister. It is a good investment for them! Two thumbs up for the both of you!

What I don't like about the salon? Well it is located at the second floor and the stair is too narrow I think. My mom says while going up that she is having a hard time someday whenever she will visit the shop. The salon is too hard to find for the first timers. 

Would I visit the salon in the future? Yes I will visit and Recommend this salon to all of you.
