Goodbye Razors, Hello Waxing!

I am one of the "unlikely" who is "balbon" wherein as early as high school, I have been concerned about shaving. In a world where being hairless other than the ones on our head is beautiful. It has been expected that shaving or hair removal is part of our hygiene. 

I grew up using razors which included little accidents of cutting my legs. When I grew a bit older, I was able to discover better ways to remove unsightly hair in my body. 

We should realize that is important to never neglect hair removal. Some might view it as plain vanity, but removing unsightly hair in our body simply shows that we care for our overall looks and we value how people sees us. Hair removal is a lifestyle and it shows how you brand yourself. 

I believe that branding yourself properly will eventually lead to elation. Feeling good about yourself can lead to a more productive life as it boost your confidence resulting to a more productive you.

Here are some pros and cons in ways to removing hair in your body.

I Want Seats: Online Bus Booking

If you have been reading my blog before, you would know I am the person who loves to plan her day ahead. That includes checking schedules, best time to visit, completing transactions online and setting up appointments in banks, cinema and restaurants. 

I value time that I want to make sure everything is coordinated well and prepared. This is one of the many reasons why I really liked BPI Online Appointment (Read more about it here.) I even have deposit slips at home so that when I go to banks, I just line up immediately. 

I have this motto, "Why wait in line when you can book online?" 

Well, I happy to discover that another company believes in this motto too. 

iWantSeats is an online bus booking platform in the Philippines. They are currently offering deluxe trips to Baguio and Baler to and from Manila via JoyBus. This saves us the hassle of lining up just to buy ticket and the possibility unavailability due to fully booked trips. 

We can expect more routes will be added in the next few months. Booking bus tickets has never been as easy as booking your hotels and airline tickets! With just a few clicks, one can reserve and confirm seats and just go to the terminal on the day of your trip. 

Explore new places, or travel to and from your city without having to wait hours at the terminal as a chance passenger. Leave the booking to iWantSeats and enjoy more of your trip.
