HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST SELF!!!
Last March, I opened another chapter in my book of life - 27 years of blessed existence. I may not seem to have everything at this age but first and foremost, I am very much thankful for the life that God has given me. I admit, the past year has been one hell of a challenge for me but if there's one thing that I appreciate the most from all the obstacles I've been through, it's recognizing the value of gratitude.
As I turned 27, a lot of people assumed that my birthday wish was to finally find the love of my life. Yes, it may have been the only thing missing as of now, but I do believe that God has His clever ways of teaching me valuable life's lessons before He handed me over to the one He intended for me. Although I sometimes miss the feeling of having someone special to take care of, call me a hypocrite if I don't, I am thankful for the time being - the gift of solitude - a much-needed time to re-establish myself before I allow opening my heart again to another.

Shopping online offers many benefits including saving time and money. Many individuals shop online simply for the convenience it offers of not driving to the store, waiting in line, and driving home again. Online shopping also allows many individuals to shop at any time of day or night, in the comfort of their own home. Despite all these benefits, many individuals tend to overlook the fact that they can purchase their eyeglasses online. Buying eyewear online not only offers the aforementioned benefits, it also allows individuals to shop for glasses in a variety of ways. Below are five ways to shop for online glasses.
1. Shop by Style
One of the most common ways to shop for glasses is by style. Many individuals know exactly what type of image they want to portray: classic, professional, trendy, etc. Because your glasses are a reflection of your style, it is helpful to narrow down your search based on this aspect. You will find some optical companies that have grouped their glasses into five specific styles:
- Sporty
- Classic
- Geek and Chic
- Lightweight
- Retro
Fortunately, because online glasses are typically less expensive than regular retail stores, you don’t have to settle with just one style. You can affordably purchase several pairs of glasses to match whatever style you want to portray on any given day.
2. Shop by Shape
If you have ever shopped for glasses at a traditional optical store, you know the glasses are not displayed in any particular manner. One of the greatest benefits of shopping for glasses online is the ability to shop by shape. By merely clicking a button, you can quickly and easily see all the glasses that are available in one specific shape. This can be extremely helpful when you consider there are at least seven different shapes of frames available including:
To most, summer may be a perfect break from the usual hustle of the academe but to some, summer can also be best enjoyed by learning new skills from summer classes and workshops. Last Saturday, April 05, 2014, I gave myself another pat on the back for being productive as I enjoy myself in Micah Zurita's Makeup Like A Pro Summer Beauty Workshop conducted at Bigby's Abreeza.

Professional Makeup Artist Micah Zurita was actually a registered nurse by profession but instead, she pursued her passion and interest in the field of fashion and beauty. From being a graduate of Maquillage Professionel supported by Make Up For Ever, she harnessed her skills and expertise through her extensive experience in working with a known cosmetic brand in Manila and as a makeup artist for photoshoots for TV and print until she started giving out workshops to share her knowledge to more people.
The goal of the workshop was to teach participants of the basic personal makeup application meant to enhance the natural beauty and to highlight the features of a woman. Micah started her workshop by introducing skin types and tones and oriented us with the basic skin preparation before proceeding to makeup application.
Contouring and Highlighting |
Male pattern baldness, or androgenic alopecia, is a prevalent form of hair loss, affecting over six million men in the UK alone. While the age at which the condition strikes is variable, around two-thirds of men experience some degree of hair loss by the time they reach the age of 35.
The cause of male pattern baldness
A hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a by-product of testosterone, fuels male pattern baldness. When men produce too much DHT, their sensitive hair follicles respond by shrinking in size. As the hair follicles shrink, the hair strands that they produce become thinner and finer than previous strands. Eventually, the follicles shrink to such an extent that they produce stumpy hair strands that cannot grow out of the surface of the scalp. This causes the hairline to gradually move backwards, forming a characteristic widows peak. Eventually the hair continues to become shorter and thinner, creating a "U" shape pattern of hair around the sides of the head. In some men, this rim of hair also thins, eventually leaving the scalp completely bald.
Treatments for male pattern baldness
Claire, who helps run Hair Ink, believes that "Contrary to societal belief, most men find the effects of male pattern baldness to be highly distressing, particularly if they occur early on in life. However, it is possible for men to prevent further hair loss and, in some cases, recover some of their lost hair strands."
Two of the most effective treatment options for male pattern baldness are medications called finasteride and minoxidil. Finasteride is an oral medication that blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT. It therefore grants the hair follicles the chance to return to their normal state. Around two in three men who use finasteride daily experience some hair regrowth, so there is a good chance that men who choose to take this medication will benefit from its effects. Minoxidil, on the other hand, is a rub-on lotion that allows more oxygen and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. Around half of all men who regularly use minoxidil are able to delay further balding, and around 15 in 100 men experience some hair regrowth. Once men start on a course of finasteride or minoxidil, they must use their chosen treatment indefinitely. If they fail to do so, they risk losing their new hair growth.
