Changpo!

Finally, I gave in to the Changpo craze! I am still on the lookout for a good shampoo as after some time, I develop allergic reactions to the usual shampoos that I try. I've already tried the ones from Healthy Options which were okay until I developed flakes. Then I've tried St. Ives but it left my hair dry. I used L'Oreal before but ended up with allergies on my skin (shoulders, arms). I tried using L'Oreal again after seeing Kitten's haul post and I'm glad that my skin has adjusted to it. But I still couldn't resist trying out this shampoo from The Face Shop:

Changpo Wave Volume Up Shampoo

This one is for curly hair.  Too bad the conditioner was out of stock.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Am I ever so happy with this purchase! My hair feels soft and smooth and bouncy all at the same time whenever I use this. I use this at night to remove all the dirt and gunk on my hair then I use a L'oreal conditioner in the morning. I must say that even without the conditioner, my hair looks great! It's just a bit hard to comb but it's okay. I don't need much combing anyway.

It hasn't given me rashes yet so that's a good sign. I've been using this for about 3 weeks now and I'm happy with the results. The smell is also nice. The packaging is great. It won't spill. The price is a little over Php300 but I think it's definitely worth it as I only need a small amount to wash my hair. It lathers up quite nicely.

I wish they would restock the conditioner soon as the L'oreal conditioner takes away all the bounciness that this shampoo gives. Sometimes I just want big, bouncy hair. LOL!

There's also a variant for straight hair. Lucky you, they've got lots of stocks for the conditioner as well.

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
