I initially just wanted a haircut and a rebond but you know, the friendly and eager-to-please stylists are good in up-selling (not complaining tho) so before the first snip I'd said yes to the keratin treatment, Brazilian blowout and coloring. 

It's my first time to get a color so I was pretty clueless about which shade to choose. I left the task to the stylist and she told me that she mixed copper and golden flaxen.

Aside from the long hours on chair, I also dread the three days that I'm not allowed to wet my hair. Like, ugh! But anyway, "tiis ganda" they say. You have to make a few sacrifices in the name of beauty.😀

The girl who did my hair, her name was Britney. I had to ask if she was a Britney Spears fan just like me. Unfortunately she said that she wasn't. We could've had a wonderful conversation about the time that I watched the Britney Spears Live In Manila concert. And I'm not much of a conversationalist anyway. Ha ha. #introvertproblems here.

Yep, the beach. She has told us like a year ago that she would want to celebrate her 7th swimming so here we are.

First of all, the Frozen-themed cake is kinda off since we're surrounded by sand and sea. We should've gunned for The Little Mermaid but she's not hearing it. See? 

But it doesn't matter to her, really. Food doesn't matter because nothing it more important than swimming with the friends. It is your moment, after all, baby girl. So live it!

For brief moments she would get out of the water; the only chance we had to take this family photo. However, what's more important is that she had fun. It's evident in her skin color afterwards. 😉 We had an advanced celebration on the 9th of December. We're lucky that the sun came out that day. Our birthday histories are very much riddled with typhoon and flood stories. Ha ha ha. And there's a lot more to be thankful for than just the weather. So many little things that make up the big things.

Here's to more birthdays and blessings!

And oh, I'll just leave you with the aftermath. :)
