1. Improve Your Love Life
Every guy or girl is immediately attracted to someone with a good head of hair. Keep up with the maintenance of your hair, and you will be sure to improve your love life! If you are putting a lot of care and effort into your hair, it will just happen naturally. You will start noticing people wanting to talk to you more, or maybe your crush will finally notice you.

Good hair can enhance an individual’s appearance almost immediately. Everyone notices someone with nice hair, whether it is the color, the style, or the length. Choose something that fits you well because good hair is hair that complements your look.

2. Increase Your Social Media Exposure
Good hair always kills the social media game. You don’t even need to show your face when it comes to taking great pictures! Flip your hair, hold a coffee cup, laugh, and you now have the ultimate photo. Often people with great hair amass a huge number of followers because people love their hair, or want hair tutorials, styling ideas, or hair inspiration from these stars. If you always have a cute hairstyle, you will immediately be more popular online. In fact, you could become a hair vlogger if having good hair every day comes naturally to you. Once you kill the hair game, you should share your secrets with others!

3. Boosts Your Confidence
Having good hair will immediately increase the number of compliments people give you almost daily. You will find that everywhere you walk, someone will either be staring at your hair or talking to you about it. If you got it, flaunt it!

Good hair will give you that extra boost of confidence you need every day. If you didn’t have time to put on a good outfit, no need to worry—your hair will make up for it. Everyone can appreciate someone with great hair every day. So flip your hair, flash a smile, and feel good about your hair! Take advantage of your new confidence booster.

4. Good Hair Shows Good Health and Hygiene
If you have good hair, it shows the world not only that you are put-together, but you have good hygiene. It is important to give off a vibe that you know how to take care of yourself and that you care about how you look. Everyone knows that one person who has their hair in the same bun or ponytail every single day and never changes it up. It shows they don’t care about their appearance or they don’t take good care of themselves. Taking good care of your hair is important to maintain hair health and its appearance.

5. Increases Your Chances of Getting Things You Want In Life
It is easy to dazzle people with a good hair flip—have you ever tried it? Whether you are being told you can’t enter a certain party, or you can’t get a table at that special restaurant, or you can’t get the job you wanted, sometimes having effortlessly good hair will increase your chances of getting the things you want that you normally can’t have. Good hair shows status and that you can be taken seriously! If you want to achieve that effortless look, this includes a fair review on hair products that will help.

Unleash your Inner Diva with Divatress!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. Thoughts and opinions expressed are entirely my own.

I'm quite experimental when it comes to my hair. I've had it permed a few years back, then I sported a bob after I got tired of all those curls. Later on, I went all out and had it hacked into a pixie cut, which I sported for a good number of years. About two years ago, I started to grow my hair longer and now my tresses are at its longest ever - about five inches past the shoulders.

Last year, I made a an even bolder move by fulfilling my blonde ambition. I've been a brunette all my life and transforming my hair into this ash blonde purple ombre was the most grueling thing I have ever done. Imagine having your hair bleached thrice, then having it colored with an ash base, then having it highlighted with purple streaks. I practically spent an entire day at the salon, all because I wanted to be a unicorn, haha!

Lately, I have been mulling over what hair color should I go for next. I'm considering the strawberry blonde look, but just thinking about the tedious process of bleaching my hair all over again makes me reconsider. Thankfully, I have discovered an easier way to achieve that strawberry blonde look without having to spend hours at the salon.

Divatress, a leading e-commerce company, is now gaining popularity as one of the most trusted wig retailers online. They have a large selection of lace wigs, with almost all styles and colors possible - short, curly, shoulder-length, layered, black, brown, copper red, teal, purple, and yes, even the strawberry blonde shade that I've been pondering upon!

Their prices start at around $19.95, and most of their wigs are sold at a discount, too. Orders worth more than $49 are shipped for free within the 48 states of Continental US. Good thing I have a friend in California who can order for me, and she's coming home for the holidays. Looks like I'll be a (strawberry) blonde again for Christmas!

Fashion Pulse | Peacock Feathers.

Peacocks are some of the most colorful and beautiful animals in the world. Everyone has witnessed the marvelous show of feathers at the zoo or in a wild environment. Every feather has an "eye" designed to scare off predators, and in the modern world, women like to wear peacock feathers in their hats or on their clothes for decoration.

The peacock bird continues to be highly celebrated and decorative in all ancient and modern societies. The following is a guide that helps you make the best use of these beautiful peacock feathers.

Hats and Hair Accessories
People often buy bird and peacock feathers to place in hats. Girls and women love to place these feathers in their hair wreaths and bands, too. Placing these plumes in clips and barrettes is more difficult, but certainly possible. These feathers are the most visible and scenic items found on costumes, so it is always good for decoration.

Wedding Decorations
Peacock feathers are some of the most colorful and unique elements to any wedding, too. You may want to include a peacock flower in a bouquet of wedding flowers on the table, around a pillar or anyplace else where decorations are found. The beautiful green, gold and blue color stands out well among the flower petals. Also, place the feathers in the centerpieces for the reception tables for a unique look, or you can even attach them to wedding invitations, pens or bridal dresses.

Dresses
For many fashion designers, peacock feathers are always good accessories to have. Many of the designers have attached the feathers to create colorful green and blue bustiers and tops for dresses. The dresses are so bright and decorative that they get stares as soon as they walk into a room. You can be sure, if you are wearing a dress with peacock feathers, it will be noticed.

Invest in Peacock Plumage
There are certain things in nature that are good for decorative purposes. Animal fur coats, leopard skin prints and peacock feathers are only a few items to consider for fashion reasons. These plumes are found on some of the most beautiful birds in the world, and the colors are bright and almost metallic as the feathers shimmer in the light.

For a big occasion like a wedding or party, you may want to buy bulk peacock feathers from a reliable source like Zucker Feather. Find dozens or hundreds of them for your use in hats, hair accessories, wedding decorations, and more. Your use of peacock feathers is only limited by your imagination.

Get Your Wig On!

Losing one's hair - whether it's due to old age, genetics, autoimmune diseases, or even chemotherapy - can be very heartbreaking. Good thing there are lots of hair loss remedies available in the market today - from simple hair regrowth shampoos to the more complicated hair transplant. And of course, there's the conventional wig.

Wig technology has become so advanced these days that they're now being worn not just as a solution for bald or thinning hair, but for aesthetic purposes as well (think cosplayers). Men's wigs have become quite popular, too, as more and more males are now paying particular attention to their looks, their style, and their crowning glory.

If you're thinking of wearing a wig, here are some tips and styling ideas that you may want to consider:

Confidence is the key. With the right attitude, you can easily pull of wearing not just a particular wig, but just about any hairstyle.

Customize your wig. Much like a designer suit, a wig needs to be tailored as well. Take your wig to your stylist and have it customized by having it the bangs cut or trimmed, or having it shaped or thinned.

Add a little spunk and flair. Be creative with your wig! Wear it with a scarf, a headband, a ribbon, or any other hair accessory.

Stay away from the oven. There is one tip that every wig wearer MUST know, and that is NEVER open the oven while wearing a synthetic wig. The heat emanating from the oven (or even the steam from a boiling pot of water) can cause irreparable damage to your wig. And so before you do cook, bake, or do anything in the kitchen, remember to remove your wig before anything else.

Spotlight | Chimera Online Shop

I'm not much of an arts and crafts person, and whenever I come across pretty little handmade things, I am always left in awe. Especially when they're made out of unconventional and eco-friendly materials. Case in point, Chimera Online.

What began as a simple hobby for childhood friends Kaye and Keyt has now become a booming business for these innovative entrepreneurs. From clothes, to accessories, and now venturing into shoes, Chimera carries a wide array of products that are eye-candy and easy on the pocket.

But there's more to Chimera than just being hip and trendy. Their merchandise, are in fact made from old clothes, vintage accessories, and even materials that some might consider as junk. By revamping  and restyling old clothes, upcycling and modifying vintage accessories with a modern twist, and using locally-sourced man-made materials, Chimera proves to be a staunch advocate of green living and eco-friendliness.

For instance, old and unwanted pairs of denims showcased in the Braided and Jeans Collection. Tattered and torn denims (and perhaps no longer fit) are transformed into something as pretty as these.

A headband, a foreband, a bracelet... these braided jeans are actually quite versatile. You can wear them  how you want it, any way you want it.

Then there's the Alambre Art Collection - fashion accessories made from the humble tie-wire. And so they say one man's junk is another man's treasure!

These tie-wires can also be found in other Chimera accessories, such as these dainty rings.

Wires were used to bind the beads together. (The very reason why they're called 'tie-wires'.)

Aside from these, Chimera also produces clothes, bags, and shoes. They carry a bunch of other cute and quirky stuff too, such as Korean stamp sets, cable winders, and even the Magic Egg. All these and more are found in Chimera's Facebook page and Multiply site.

Oh, and in case you're wondering if there's a giveaway coming soon, YES there is! (If you're a regular reader of my blog, then I know you know the drill, haha!)

I have the privilege of working with Chimera for my next blog event, the Fun in the Sun Giveaway which goes live come June 3rd. There'll be a bunch of assorted Chimera merchandise up for grabs, including an Usamimi-inspired Twist Headband ala Park Min Young! (More popularly known as Kim Nana in City Hunter.)

I'm not exactly fond of Lee Min Ho, but I have to admit, him and Min Young look good together. And City Hunter was one of my favorite Kdramas from last year. A-aaand these Usamimi Headbands are so yeppuda! (That's lovely in Korean.)

So, if you're a fan of the drama, or would like to channel your inner Kim Nana (lol), or simply want to win some cool eco-friendly stuff, mark your calendars and be sure to check out my blog and social media pages from time to time. June 3, folks! :)
