When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Budget Brazilian Treatment without Going to a Salon


Carmina has never had a Brazilian Treatment for her hair. Mary Ann had suggested since I have been applying hair color every once a month your hair will begin to get dried. Best to apply Brazilian Treatment every six months.

The items needed to prepare your Brazilian Treatment are the following:

  1. Brazilian Treatment
  2. Bowl 
  3. Comb
  4. Hair Clips
  5. Plastic Gloves 
  6. Shower Cap
  7. Brush
  8. Blow Dryer
  9. Hair Strengthener
  10. Towel or Bib  

Carmina had purchased her Soft and Glow Brazilian Blowout with Collagen before we schedule to see each other.

Mary Ann exclusive only does it to her friends example me and her daughter Weng. Mary Ann learned how to Brazilian four years ago her friend who does hair said why not just buy the Brazilian treatment and do it at home rather going to the salon and paying one thousand pesos or more. 

The process is using Soft and Glow Brazilian Blowout with Collagen and apply on your hair make sure you didn't add conditioner on your hair or any styling gel or hair spray.

Pour the Soft and Glow Brazilian Blowout with Collagen apply each strand of hair make sure you use a hair clip and wear plastic glows. Best to wear old clothing or something to cover yourself on your shoulder.

It takes 5 to 10 minutes depending on the length of your hair.

Cover your hair with shower cap since we didn't have anything we used a plastic bag. Leave on hair for three hours use your phone to use the timer.

After 3 hours blow dry your hair until completely dry and use hair strengthener make sure you don't wet your hair for 3 days.
