I really thought I had posted this entry already but obviously, I haven't. Work is really taking up so much of my time plus the Dimsum Factory we just opened outside SALA Lounge + Café is also, thank goodness, picking up fast! The inventory is a nightmare for someone not so great at Math. Ahem!

Too bright? Nawww... not really.

I just love this dye. It's my new favorite because it doesn't smell ammonia-ish!

You get all these goodies inside the box.

Perfect fit and I can apply the dye evenly.

Hey, it's called a BUBBLE HAIR DYE for a reason. And this is why!

Let the games begin! Errmmm, or the dyeing process commence...

It seems the longer that my son's hair is growing, it's become quite a blast of sunshine on his head. As you can see here, he just woke up. I don't really know what specific shade of color is his hair but look, it is amazeballs!


So I was aiming to get something just like that... and 2 hours later!!! Yes, 2 hours because I was so busy in the kitchen (notice the apron?) that  I lost track of time...

Almost the same color??? Hmmm.

Filtered photo from Instagram.

Still so happy how it turned out. Overcooked, maybe. But still...

So now, it's time for the BEFORE and AFTER photos! Platinum beige with roots showing to Chiffon Beige.

My hair is dry. Ugh. Need to get some treatment.

Bye, bye dark roots!

There you have it!  This is MyMaria - MrsNoodleBoy in Prettia Chiffon Beige.

In other news, you know, I have been blogging officially for 9 years now. Whoa! Has it really been that long? Am I that old? Well, as you can see, I'm striving to be responsible and financially capable; also I am married with a wonderful husband and an adorable baby boy, and my weight has drastically changed from the previous years apparently. This blog really is my memoir. The links to some old pictures may be missing, but the texts, oh the verbal diarrhea, they are there! I sometimes surprise myself backreading to a certain point in time and wonder if I really thought and felt like what I had written. Anyway, if I could create a timeline of what I had been doing for the past decade, I can imagine how it would look like, thanks to the entries in here that chronicles my post-adolescence and journey to early adulthood life. By next year, I'll be entering a new decade in life. It's the big 3-0!!! To say that I am thrilled does not even begin to describe my excitement. I'm going to rock my thirties and you know I will! :)

Note to self: I must do a HUGE 10-year blog anniversary giveaway for 2013 as well as a birthday treat to all my readers and friends! So guys watch out for that! It's gonna be MAJOOOOR!

It's that time once more to experiment with my hair. No, I'm not bored with it. I simply needed to get a color change because my roots are showing. This time, I tried the new rage which is the bubble hair dye. So easy to apply, you can actually honest-to-goodness DO-IT-YOURSELF! I'm a big DIY fan so this was really fun for me to do.


I bought Liese Prettia PLATINUM BEIGE from an online seller for this project. (I'm thinking maybe I should sell this product since I can't find any around here!) There are plenty of other bubble hair dyes in the market today like Palty, Beauteen, and others. This particular color from Liese, however, caught my eye because it is almost the same shade as my son's hair. Go figure. So I really wanted to wash off my current hair color and go back to a basic, natural shade. This one was the closest to my liking, although the Chiffon Beige, Marshmallow Brown, and Milk Tea Brown are also some of the colors I seriously considered.
What I love about this bubble hair dye is the easy-peasy no frills application. Just lather it like shampoo and you're all set! Then wait just a couple of minutes... 30 minutes should do it, though I took an hour because that's just me and based on experience, I get my desired color if I let it stay for a little while longer.


While some people wrote in their reviews that they could hardly stand the ammonia-ish smell, I found out that I could tolerate it. Heck, I've tried worse!!! The kind that almost suffocates you. Nevertheless, there is a certain smell, kinda parlor-esque if you ask me.

The gloves that came with the Liese Prettia bubble hair dye is actually fitted like those medical gloves. I also noticed that the dye isn't as irritating and itchy to the scalp like most other dyes I've tried over the years. Maybe some people get different reactions to dyes so it's best to do a skin test first!
I have pretty long hair now but it's so fine I had quite a lot of extra bubble hair dye left in the bottle when I was done with mine. So with all my powers of persuasion, I talked Noodle Boy into it and he agreed to let me color his hair, too! Yey!!! Isn't my husband adorable? Hehe.

With Little Mao/NoodleLito and his naturally light brown hair!

Alright, now let's move on to the BEFORE and AFTER pictures! It's not a drastic change this time but since my last hair color a few months ago, my roots as you can see are showing badly. Also I dunno why my hair color ended up all uneven, I think it must have been the bleach. Ugh.

My hair is a mess but whatever, okay!

As you can see, from light colored hair (yellow-based I think) to a more natural brown mane. Depending on the light, the PLATINUM BEIGE color from Liese Prettia gave me the color I was hoping for and probably in a few days it's going to turn into something like an ash brown color.

From Light Havana to Platinum Beige

When indoor it's not as bright and I'm loving the cool brown effect it has on me. And look, it covered those dreadful roots and even colored my hair evenly! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!


I even got the color not far from what is on the box. I think it's really nice and it left my hair smooth afterwards. I was expecting it to be really hard to comb and all but with the conditioner treatment albeit very little that came with it, my hair is soft. As if I never colored it or what!

My son seems to like my new hair color, too!

Now I have the same hair color as my son. Well, ALMOST the same anyway. But hey, it looks pretty natural to me. Don't you agree?

Taken with ambient light.

Natural brown, huh?

Next time maybe I'll try the brighter colors... maybe even the SWEET PINK or the CASSIS BERRY!!! Because you know, even though I'm a mom now... I'm still gonna rock it! BASTA IGAT, SIKAT!!! So, until then...
