Weekend DIY: Prettia Bubble Hair Dye in Royal Brown

I like it when I have laid back weekends because it gives me time to do things for myself without being in a such a rush. My latest self-improvisation project was to dye my hair using the Prettia bubble hair dye i got from ichibankao. 

Here's what's inside the carton:

1 pair of disposable gloves, 1 bottle pump, the 2 bottles of hair colorants (to mix), 1 packet of hair treatment essence and instructions (in japanese)

 Instructions:

1) Put on gloves

2) Pour contents of bottle 1 to the larger bottle 2, close cap

3) Mix in a gentle, see-saw motion, DO NOT SHAKE

4) Take off cap and put on pump, Press bottle UPRIGHT to get bubble hair dye

5) Apply evenly on hair as if shampooing

6) Leave on for 30 minutes.

7) Rinse, Shampoo

8) Apply treatment essence afterwards

Here's my hair before the treatment, this is my natural hair color, I've never dyed my hair prior to this, I was just dead curious about this product as it looks super fun and easy to do. Plus I have read good reviews from fellow bloggers Lisa and Kathi :)

oooh *bubbles* @.@

and 45 minutes later, TADAH! Royal brown tresses! I was pleasantly surprised that the color on the box matched the color outcome on my hair. :)

CONFESSION: I accidentally left it on longer than I should have (about 15 minutes longer) because I was chatting on the phone with a friend, I was really afraid my hair would come out "burned", but when I rinsed my hair it came out alright.

The only thing i forgot to do was to dye my eyebrows too! Has anyone tried dying their brows with this? I find the chemical smell overwhelming whenever I sniff it so I'm not sure if its safe to use near the eyes.

EDIT: This product is NOT meant to be used on eyebrows. It is also not suitable for gray hair.

Beauties, meet Bowie :)

Happy first of February everyone!  The LOVE month has officially begun and what better way to start it off than to share something personal and precious for me. 

*all photos are by my Lurvey, Kris Loo*

Ladies, meet Bowie, our cutie patootie apple-head Chihuahua pup. (@ 2 mos.)

yes, I made him wear my bangles. lol :P

I chose the name Bowie, taken after iconic rock star David Bowie and my fondness of bows. We've had him since mid-January and he is really adorable, very playful, a tad spoiled but still affectionate and loving. He can be really needy too! But I'm not complaining (Lurvey is. lol) He loves to cuddle with us. So sweet! Awww.

A simple size comparison, he is tiny! :)

Here he is taking a nap inside his little puppy purse.

This señorito sleeps a looooot, just like a real baby! ^-.-^

Isn't he a darling? I love shopping for dog stuff now! I recently bought him a Tigi PetHead Poof! Magical deodorizing spray for those days when he can't take baths (vaccine shots). I have to say, this made me love Tigi even more (I love their HUMAN hair products). ^_~

Tigi PetHead Poof! Magical Deodorizing Spray

the SA told me this is a bestseller among pet owners/dog lovers and its not hard to understand why. I love how it smells like sweet pears, so good it makes Bowie smell like fruit! hahaha ^.^

Wishing you all the greatest love month everrr!
