MOMMA PAMPERING At CREATIONS BY LOURD RAMOS SALON + A #GIVEAWAY

Pamperings and makeovers have become so rare for me since I gave birth to Choi. It's like all my time, not to mention, money has got to be set aside or spent on all things baby-ish.

Don't get me wrong, choosing to be a mother proved to be the most rewarding experience "ever" in my life! 

SINGLE MOTHERHOOD

I am a single mother by choice. I won't bore you with all the dirt about why. But I guess, you can imagine how hectic it can be sans a nanny. Juggling my responsibilities and all, but of course, everything comes second when it comes to my boy. As they say, being a single mom makes you a dad too! There is an upside though!

A SUPPORTIVE FAMILY

I am one of the few lucky ones I guess, because I have a very supportive family who stood by me despite my decision and who gladly takes over mommy duties whenever I need to do important tasks. 

My sisters usually volunteer to care for my son but then again - not all the time. So when they're available, I take advantage of it to squeeze in some "Me" time too. 

A FREEBIE I COULDN'T PASS UP

Thank GOD for generous friends! Hahaha...a friend of mine who recently discovered that I'm a blogger offered a makeover treat to me recently. Who am I to say no? What made it all the more enticing was that my Dad offered to watch over Choi while I go on a beauty adventure. 


With two of my friends and a sister in tow, we headed to Cedar Makati for a fab mommy pampering time. We chose the Cedar Makati Branch at Arnaiz Avenue, at the back of Raffles Hotel and Landmark since it's the nearest branch to us. 

I felt like royalty as soon as we entered the modern minimalist themed reception area of the salon. We were led to an available styling chair and was immediately offered with a choice of coffeee or iced tea. Reading materials which mind you, are up to date came next. Service deluxe eh? 

I can't help but compare it to the other salon I used to visit, lower rates, yes, but the experience? Definitely not the same!

IN FOR A TREAT

It was cut and color day for me. I was so excited since it's been a year and a half since I had my hair did. I let Rudolph, my stylist, take the lead. 

He was so accomodating and very helpful yet not a know it all. Despite all his trainings, he let me choose the style and color for me. He just threw in bits of ideas to guide me. I also loved how he gave me a few pieces of advice about what to do and what NOT to do with my hair. 

We decided on, of course this is my mommy term,- a layered just below the shoulders haircut and a reddish brown hair color. DONE DEAL. 

Rudolph was a quick worker. He was quiet yet friendly, working on my hair as gently as possible. My scalp is so sensitive, it usually has a reaction to treatments, but at Creations, surprisingly, no itchy feeling on my scalp at all. The cherry on top, a gentle back massage while waiting for my color to set. 

That's me with my friends, Ate Tina Ramos and Chatie Macatongtong

Finished groupie!
