Is this the natural hair gamechanger the internet won’t stop talking about? My full review of Khaokho Talaypu.

Sometimes when you spend too much time watching other people’s TikTok videos, you stumble upon something you actually need. Carmina was running out of shampoo and conditioner when I saw a trending product called  Khaokho Talaypu from Thailand, known for helping with hair problems. Since I have frizzy hair and usually go for products with coconut, I was immediately interested. I looked for a shampoo and conditioner set and found one for 469.00 pesos ($7.95), not including shipping and handling, with a 40% discount. I also checked reviews before buying, and they were all positive. It’s always important to do your own research before trusting what people say. I’ll be trying the product myself and will share my experience before officially recommending it. Carmina followed the instructions on the shampoo and conditioner for her hair, and after a few hours, I blow-dried mine. It felt soft and returned to its natural texture without any frizz, which had been my problem before. The sme...

Sweet Potato with Artichoke Salad Recipe

We often see people make potato salad and having small sweet potato around. I decided since they both are being grown from the ground why not try something new. Only difference I had added something else to my sweet potato salad rather using chicken that we normally add on to our potato salad.

Zagana Farm to Kitchen

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asking Manang V to include some of my vegetables on her list whenever the kitchen runs out. Every time Carmina notices the kitchen is restocked with vegetables, she asks Manang V about it. Manang V always apologizes, saying she keeps forgetting about my vegetables. Eventually, Carmina got tired of waiting and decided to buy them online through Grab Mart. Sometimes, it just seems easier to do things yourself rather than rely on others. Carmina was looking for camote, broccoli, asparagus, and avocado to have at home. I was able to find it at  Zagana Farm to Kitchen  one shop drop on whatever you need.
