On Hair Care: Dove Damage Therapy Intense Repair Review

This is the second time I spent particularly long hours in the shower within two weeks. The first time was when I tried these stuff on my hair:

Dove Damage Therapy Intense Repair

HAULS: From Here and Dublin

I had a terrible headache immediately after waking up. But nevertheless, things ended well for me today. Why? Because my box from mom in Dublin came today! I wish it was her who got home instead (it's been a year already since we last saw each other, sniff!). I just miss her very much. Oh well, before I go too melancholic here, I just wanna share my hauls from here and of course, my mama.

I got two paper bags of clothes, mostly slacks and dresses but here are my favorites.

Denim Skirt: House of Denim

TODAY: Flawless/Supermarket Visit

I go to Subic (or more aptly Olongapo) for a variety of reasons. One, to go to Kitty and Nala's vet. Two, to do some grocery shopping. Three, to go to Flawless Olongapo branch. And today's the day I did all that.

It was Nala's schedule for his 2nd leuko vaccine (one more to go). He grows up too fast and the vet said that he's happy to see Nala getting in good shape. He gained a lot of weight, his fur has become better and he's now meowing loudly - in a matter of just one and a half months. I would have posted photos but he's fast asleep now after getting tired from pulling down all the ornaments (he particularly loves the red balls) from the Christmas Tree. Darn that cat! :)

Anyway, Em and I also did some grocery shopping. I have this motto in housekeeping, that when the eggs have run out, it means it's time to go to the supermarket. Always worked for us. ;)

We usually do the shopping at the Royal Subic Duty Free Mall because everything I need in life is here - minus the tax. My favorite part of the mall is of course the Pharmacy where I get to see (and buy) the most necessary things - toiletries!!!

Here are some of the things I got today.

Dove White Bar in 2's

REVIEW: What's in the Bathroom?

I love taking a bath. Who doesn't? Especially in this schizophrenic climate of ours, a good, long bath is just, well, necessary.

I hop in the shower two to three times a day. It's where I mostly do my thinking and rationalizing, and of course, scrubbing. Today, I'd like to share my loyal companions in the bathroom.

Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser. I call it good ol' Cetaphil. Do I need to say more about this product? I started using it since I was 15 because my derma that time prescribed it after I got some nasty chemical burns on my face. (Ouch. Painful story, I tell you.) Ever since, we never parted ways. It doesn't dry me out. It doesn't lather, nor it foams. It's thin. Not a good makeup remover or pimple treatment though but perfect for those with sensitive skin. Sometimes I even leave it on my face for a few minutes without water, especially on days when I need an extra dose of moisture. It's so gentle that I tried tasting it a lot of times and I wasn't harmed not even once. hahaha. =D It's cheaper than most "for sensitive skin" cleansers and you can find it just anywhere.

Dove White Beauty Bar. When I was a kid, I really hated this soap. Why? Because it's too difficult to rinse it off! You know when you're a child, you want to finish your bath in a split second so you can go out and play, taking a bath is the least of your priorities. I started using Dove religiously when I was 21. I had a severe case of atopic dermatitis back then and my derma said I use this soap regularly for maintenance. It's very moisturizing, albeit it's so difficult to rinse off. I use it on my face and body without worry. And I love its smell. But there's one thing I noticed with Dove lately, I dunno if it's just me but the scent has somewhat changed and the latherdiffst aT is somewhat different. Maybe they changed the ingredients or something but for me it really seeaT different than the old ones. Anyway, I still love it. However, I don't use the otherdDove variants, especially the green one, I just don't like the scent of the others.
