Jojoba Oil

Hola, friends!! Water in Japan and Water in US are very different. Some states have pretty bad water that have damaged my hair. How bad is it? um... my friend dyed her hair color from black to greenish brown without bleaching it. A week later, A WEEK LATER, she had very very light brown; almost blond. It's surely caused by other factors as well, but you will hear people from different places complaining about how bad the water is for their hair. I couldn't believe it. "Water is water" This was my thought. Then, I came to Oregon, I felt the difference. (I have been using same shampoo and conditioner for 4 years.) My hair is good! Oregon's water and weather are pretty good! Anyway, I finally decided to take care of my hair!

(⊃´∀｀)⊃ "Ellips Hair Vitamin"

I purchased this hair treatment when I went to Indonesia. Don't worry! It seems like we can buy this in different countries and on online. It contains Jojoba Oil, Pro Vitamin B5, and more natural things such as Aloe Vera. Have you heard of Jojoba Oil? I'd heard of Moroccan Oil, coconuts oil, olive oil, etc. When I saw "Jojoba Oil" on it, I did a little tiny research of the oil. It helps to soften skins and hair, so that it's used for many beauty products. (More information : Top 10 Uses of Jojoba Oil ). I found Jojoba oil to be very useful. These tiny things can really make my hair very soft!

How do we use it?

apply it to the damaged part of your hair

simple, isn't it? My favorite parts of this product are 1, not greasy 2, small. This is a perfect size for taking to trips. I hate carrying my beauty products when I go on a trip. They use many spaces, put weights, make me worried of leaking, and sometimes make me want to cry. GEEZ!! 。・+゚・(ノд+)・+゚・。Ellips don't take spaces. When it's done, I can throw the small containers away. Personally, I prefer floral smells. BUT this convenience makes me like this products! Of course, I took some with me to Portland on memorial weekend. (Check it out : memorial day weekend blog)

It's SUPER hard to see how soft my hair is on the picture, but I decided to use ellips and take a picture on the bus to share with you! Can you see the difference? baha! It's definitely smooth. My hair got moisturized but not oily at all. I really enjoy using this "cute pink hair treatments"!

It was not expensive in Indonesia. If you go there, I recommend you to get one!!
I would love to read what you use for your hair(*'ω'*) My goal is to try as many hair products as possible and find a perfect one for my hair!! hehe Hope you enjoyed my first review.

hugs :)

Memorial Day Weekend

Could you guess the answer to the question from my previous blog? If you didn't know the question, go to my previous blog (←click right now), and come back here to continue reading (* ｀ー´)ノ 

My gorgeous weekend started with... Amtrak. (2 levels of passenger accommodation)

It was deeper that I thought. Water came in my rain boots (-3-)

This trip wasn't only for celebrating our 7 months but also cheering Garfy up. (Garfy lost his car on Thursday because of a drunk driver.) It was decided super very last minutes; Friday night. We went to Portland by Amtrak without booking a hotel. Could you guess correctly? We ended up staying at The Benson. The hotel was very historical, and the room & the view from the room were B E A U T I F U L. Rain didn't bother our shopping, walking, eating, and more joyful things! We had Room Service for our dinner (*´▽｀*) THEN, the night was perfect with Garfy's friends at McMenamins (McMenamins is one of my favorite buildings in Oregon!) I had the most amazing time with Garfy and felt very happy to see him being happy. If you haven't started celebrating monthly anniversary, I highly recommend you to just dress up nicely and have a fun right now! haha

How was your Memorial day weekend? I hope you all had a wonderful one☆

hugs :)

Day before yesterday in Oregon

I went to school the other day to participate only 1 Psychological experiment that takes less than 3 minutes. It takes almost 1 hour / way from home to school. It was soooo cold & rainy. I usually love rain, but I felt so miserable (ノД`)・゜・。aaa..

Today in Oregon

Hello, Sun! Hello, Sun!! ('ω')ノ

What's your plan for this weekend?

I hope the Sun will keep us warm & the world bright this weekend.

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, Everyone!

Sophisticated ?

Hola, Everyone! Today, I want to invite you to my home! My Home Tourヽ(゜∇゜)ノ (I wish..)
I went to Pittock Mansion last months. Why am I uploading my old memory? It's because I promised you about my dress from April Favorite, so here it is!!

 

with Mr. Pittock (●´∀｀●)∩ Same face?

what is this? what is Garfy using?

with our tour guide ヽ(●´∀｀●)ﾉ

just super gorgeous! I'd love to go to different countries to spend my time.. but Because I am still a student, enjoying the beautiful art and antique is one of my favorite things to spend my time. Every once in a while, I believe it's very important to escape from the stressful life & enjoy the dreamy (/no-stressful) life. Don't you sometimes think so? It was a time for me to escape from all the stress. I can never ever afford this much money to build such a beautiful mansion, but it just inspires me a lot. For some reason, when I am at antique places... I smile all the time, talk quietly, walk softly, and feel very sophisticated (-U-) haha Look at my huge smile! I was obviously happy to be there.

In Oregon, I also recommend you to visit...

Historic Deep Wood Estate

Asahel Bush House Museum

Oregon Coast light houses

 McMenamins

to see historical places and feel sophisticated (*´ｖ`*)♪

Where do you go to escape from your stressful life? Which historical places do you recommend me to visit?
