Curls by Zenutrients Leave-in Conditioner Review 
CGM Update with products currently on rotation. 

Almost six months since I posted about the products I use, I'm posting this. Hehe. These are mostly from my 12.12 sale purchases.

Zenutrients Leave-In

[Klook Link] Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa Day Pass

These days, I no longer pay that much attention to good and bad hair days. 😅 I have a routine that works for me and every wash day is a surprise anyway. Parang naging wash and wear na ulit buhok ko. Buti naman! 😍 I've heard enough people who told me that my hair looks good as an assurance that it's improving. Pwede na 'yan. 😂 All thanks to my bb 'cause I spent my rebond money on him which is the reason why I stumbled upon CGM. HAHAHA! 

NOTE: Some of the terms below will be unfamiliar to those who are not practicing CGM. 😁


HHN Vanilla Conditioner - Will Repurchase

This is still what I apply as leave-in when I'm staying at home. I love the smell (kinda sweet but not too vanilla-ey) and it's cheaper. 

Curls by Zenutrients Leave-in Conditioner - Will Repurchase

I've always hoped for a leave-in conditioner and I'm so happy when Zenutrients launched this last year. 😍 

This smells fresh and clean which I like a lot. It doesn't feel heavy in the hair and it forms a slight cast when applied so it's perfect to use when going out. I no longer think about what my hair looks like especially when it's windy outside.

I haven't tried using gel as a styler since CGM so I never had an experience of "scrunching the crunch" but this is the closest that I can get to that. 


Zenutrients is thicker than HHN but I don't dilute it with water unlike the latter.

Some ladies in the group rinse only a percent of their S2C conditioner and some don't rinse at all. I don't like doing that 'cause it feels sticky especially in the humid weather we have here in PH. I rinse all the conditioner after S2C then I apply leave-in after wet plopping. 


LOW POO - Zenutrients Gugo Shampoo - Might Repurchase

I've only used this thrice as of writing 'cause I'm emptying my other low poo, HHN Mandarin. I still prefer the latter because using the Mandarin variant in the shower is invigorating/aromatherapy to me. Repurchase of this will depend whether or not my hairfall lessens as I empty the container and if the smell grows on me since I'm still leaning to HHN for my low poo. 

CO-WASH - Zenutrients Gugo Conditioner - Will Repurchase

I haven't noticed the lesser hairfall nor the strengthening of my hair strands yet. This smells minty. It's watery so perfect for co-wash. My scalp doesn't itch when using this and I feel a mild cooling sensation so I know it's there. 😂 The co-wash that I've been using before is Johnson and Johnson's Shiny Drops Conditioner. I will repurchase this because 1 liter size when on sale is sold for around 680 (?) so this will be cheaper than JJ. Though, of course, I'm hoping that it will stay true to its claim that I'll have lesser hairfall. 

CO-WASH - Zenutrients Coco Honey Conditioner - Might Repurchase

I LOVE THE SCENT. I like this more than gugo, tbh. If they sell this in a 1 Liter container then I'd definitely get this for my Co-Wash instead of gugo even if that promises stronger hair. This is thicker so I dilute this with water when I use it. It also has a minty/cooling sensation when applied in the scalp. 


S2C - Suave Cherry Blossom Conditioner - Will Repurchase (forever 😂) 

Suave Tropical Conditioner - Might Repurchase 

I have nothing to say about these Suave conditioners aside from they are my CGM holy grails, my must-haves, my forever. Haha. I only purchase those protein-free variants and I usually have two kinds with me. Cherry Blossom has and will always be a staple and the other one is whatever scent is available in the store during my restock. 😂

As I've said above, hair during wash day is always a surprise. ❤️ Will never look back to salon hair treatments. Hehehe.

Will blog about this no-sleep hike one of these days. Hahahahaha. Kakamiss. Shet. 

Curlversary Update ❤️


PURCHASE YOURS HERE:

Zenutrients Leave-In

This was my concern before. Paano kaya buhok ko kapag nag-hiking? Okay naman pala or yeah, it's cause mas maayos na rin 'yung buhok ko these days.  Also, Zenutrients has a slight cast so I believe that helped in making my hair more manageable during the trek. 


Fully dried while on a windy mountain top. Naninibago pa rin ako minsan kapag nakikita ko ganyan hair ko. HAHA!


My new roommate loves to sleep on my hair. I use satin hair caps when he sleeps in my room to make myself laway-proof 'cause he plays with my hair and by play I mean bites it. 😢🤦🏻‍♀️ hahaha! It's uncomfortable for me to sleep with a hair cap but I think a lot of CGM ladies wear something like this to protect their curls while sleeping. 


Clingy bb. 😍


Gondo naman ng diaper mo. 😂
One of his favorite place on Earth is beside my face. 😂 Kaya kailangan talaga laway proof! Kakaloka! Hahahaha


Maskne has calm down eventually. 
I still get some whiteheads and acne these days but not as much as before, even the acne marks are starting to fade. Huhuhu. Buti na lang! I also have new sunscreen and lip balm that I'm using, I might post those here too.

Can't decide if this afternoon in Luljetta Hanging Gardens was swimming, water spa, or pictorial. Okay, a little bit of everything na lang. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

This was supposed to be that one thing that we're going to look forward to in February so we bought the tickets this month. However, when we called to reserve the date that we were intending to visit, it was already fully booked.

We were like, 
Siya: Puno na raw 'yung date. Morning and afternoon.
Ako: Paano na? Ibang date? March?
Siya: Ang tagal! This week? Isip na lang tayo ng ibang pupuntahan sa Feb.?
Ako: Ibang pupuntahan??? Oh sure. Okay. Let's go!

Madaling kausap. HAHA! At ayan na nga, mabuti pa ang mga biglaan e natutuloy. 😂

You can purchase discounted tickets in the link above. After purchasing, reserve your slots by calling or e-mailing Luljetta.

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

This was reserved three days prior our arrival. We submitted a photo of our ID and a Health Declaration Form via Google Forms a day before our schedule. Of course, we had searched about the risks of this activity (swimming) before going there. I also talked to a doctor friend and I was assured that safe naman mag-swimming basta iwas daw sa ma-tao. 

Upon registration, we were given this basket with two towels and two robes to use inside the hanging garden. We were then escorted to the locker room where we changed into our swimwear. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

This remains my favorite out of all the pools.

At naghihila lang ako ng shorts niyan sa picture. There's a sauna beside this and using it is included in the package. I don't know why we didn't try entering the sauna room though.

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

While in the jacuzzi, we "planned" on how we're making the most of the next consecutive hours inside. We decided to walk around the whole hanging gardens first, take photos and if time permits, go back to were we liked the most. There's actually a signage asking guests to limit the jacuzzi stay for 15 minutes and we obliged.

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Recreated this photo.
Had similar looking photo from the first time I went here in 2014.  The pools are still the same but there were a lot of improvements.

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Fish Spa Area

This is not my first time trying a fish spa out but I couldn't last several minutes with my feet dipped in here. I don't know what happened to me 'cause this experience used to be enjoyable and ticklish but it's freaking me out now.

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Hydro-massage Pool

We stayed there for several minutes. Hindi lang for photo 'cause we actually used the hydro-massage area. Haven't had a PROPER body massage since ECQ. Parang gusto ko ng Thai Massage!

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

There were other guests that day but we kinda avoided everyone and we were successful in doing so except at the infinity pool. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves most of the time. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

This "dinousaur" nest was placed along the walkway near the infinity pool. There was a group swimming when we arrived in this area so we decided to take our time by taking lots of photos AGAIN.

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

We placed our baskets here. Rehydrated ourselves since there's also a water station and took more photos. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

We swam together with the group but they left after several minutes leaving only the two of us there. Lahat na ata ng angle e nakuhanan habang nandito sa pool na 'to eh.

The sun sets on that side so almost all photos taken here were silhouette shots. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Tinatanaw ko lang kung saan kami next. 💁🏻‍♀️ Nakikita mo ba ang nakikita ko? East pa rin ba tayo??
Hala ka! Ito na naman akoooooo. 😂

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Had the entire area to ourselves for around 30 minutes our so. ❤️

Eto talaga 'yung na-miss ko eh. 'Yung mga kwento habang nasa labas at hindi lang sa chat. 'Yung totoong tawanan. Nakatingin sa kung saan, sa malayo, sa isa't isa. Doon sa tahimik, sa walang ibang tao, sa walang face mask. Alam mo 'yon. Kahit nanginginig na kaming dalawa dahil sa suot namin at sa lamig ng tubig sa pool at hangin, keri lang. 😂

Ginusto namin 'to eh. 😂

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Tangkad yern? 
Hahahahaha. O diba, my photog. Galing daw sa ibaba para mukhang matangkad. Lahat talaga eh. 😂
Pero, tangkad nga yern?? 😂

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

I think this is the most famous photo spot in the whole of Luljetta.

As I mentioned above, we hung out for a bit while seated there. What really happened that afternoon was more kwento and tawa while looking at the view instead of swimming.

When other people arrived, we left for the restaurant to claim our merienda. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Tables are sanitized. 
Area is overlooking Laguna Bay.

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

There are two package options for day tours.

One is this, and the other more expensive one is a rice meal. We opted for this 'cause we wanted to eat somewhere in Sumulong Highway but yeah, we weren't able to do that since this was on a Friday and we noticed that most restaurants were packed that night. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Laguna Bay

After eating, we walked around again. We went back to the hydro-massage and infinity pools. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

More and more people were going to the infinity pool so we decided to head back to this pool were we stayed until around 5 PM.

Take note, btw, that the water here is very cold. We tried staying by the ledge but we were both shivering while talking. We then stayed near the pool stairs and sat with only our feet soaked and it was more bearable. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

Dipped at the jacuzzi again before going back to the locker room. 

Lujetta Hanging Gardens and Spa 2021

La.... LabView! 😂❤️

We shall be back for you again, Luljetta's Place.

This is near Cafe Agusta. Babalik dapat kami doon but it was past sunset when we left Luljetta so we opted for an overlooking restaurant along Sumulong Highway pero marami rin tao kaya wala rin. K lang. K lang. 


Seoul, South Korea: World Cup Park

The funny thing about travelling during this pandemic is how paranoid we are at the sight of a crowd. It's usual for me to travel to places that are not packed with people but it feels different now. Infairness ha, ang hirap ng may iniiwasan na hindi mo alam kung ano o saan ba 'yung dapat mong iwasan. Parang something's always there but there's nothing. Also, parang feeling that nothing's there but there is pala. AHAHAHAH. Kita mo. Kagulo! Praning!

This is "home" in San Diego, California. From here, it takes 4 1/2 hours to get to Las Vegas Strip, Nevada via Interstate-15. That's around 329 miles or 540 km. I researched and according to Google maps, my house in Quezon City to Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte is around 567 km. Kaya ata ilagay sa loob ng California at Nevada ang buong Pilipinas. Haha! Tinatamad lang ako i-search. 

Since this is a "road trip,"  let's choose a song that we'll listen on loop until it feels like torture. 


For California - Nevada, I choose "Are you gonna be my girl?" by Jet. Why? This is one of the songs I remember from the movie, " What Happens in Vegas"  hahahaha e syempre kasi excited ako kaya nanood ako ng movies na na-shoot sa Vegas dati tas ito 'yung isa sa tumatak sa isip ko.

Pag naririnig ko 'to at naalala ko 'yung Primm, feels like Las Vegas 2016 all over again. Lam mo 'yon. hahahahahahahahaha. Muntanga, noh? I associate songs to places I've gone to. Parang nasa music video.😂 And for this particular song, those are funny memories kaya hahahahahahahahahaha. 🤭 

USA 2016 SOJOURN

Going back to the road trip...


Las Vegas Strip is just a small part of the state of Nevada but it's the most famous resort area there. There are other Resort Areas and National Parks that can be of interest though such as Reno, Laughlin, Lake Tahoe and many more. Most of the places I've gone to in 2016 are indexed in the link above, while most of the places I visited in 2019 are yet to find their way to this blog. Sipag yern? HAHAHA


There are three stop over options (that I know of) that you'll be passing through along the Interstate 15 on the way to Vegas.

Barstow - this was the stop over we frequented mainly because there's a Walmart and we buy food there on the way to California. 
Baker - I have a photo of the world's largest thermometer in this area but I haven't stopped there yet. 
Primm - This area is where I lived. This was home to me but a stop-over for most people since there's a mall, gasoline station, three hotels in the area aside from our apartment complex. It takes around an hour to get to the town from here.


Death Valley National Park is located both in California and Nevada (along the stateline). There's an access road along this highway (I-15) but the one we drove through when we went there was the one in Pahrump cause we wanted to see the road that leads to Lake Tahoe. 

Death Valley National Park
#1: Twenty Mule Team Canyon Outlook
#2: Zabriskie Point
#3: Badwater Basin/ Lowest Point in North America
#4: Dante's View and Artist Drive
#5: Sandstorm/ Haboob at Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

[Klook Link] Death Valley Small Group Day Tour from Las Vegas 


This is the largest thermometer in the world in Baker, California. It can get really hot in Vegas since it's in the middle of the desert and there's not a lot of vegetation so I think, this thermometer is a great addition just so you'd have an idea about what kind of heat you're getting yourself into that day. 


In the movie "A Walk to Remember," one of Jamie's bucket list is to be in two places at once. This place, btw, is one of the borders of Nevada and California. During my first few days in the States last 2016, I met a friend who taught me that the interstate line is somewhere here.

After singing "Someday We'll Know" I was told, "You're now in two places at once."

Lottery is not legal in Nevada but just walk across that line to California and there's a Lotto Outlet. Tuwang tuwa na ko sa little discovery ko that time. Na ganon lang pala 'yung interstate borders. HAHAHA!


Home.
No matter how much time passes
That's what you will always be to me
Home. ❤️

I'll be back for you someday. ❤️

I've yet to post the other places I've visited in LV. Soon, soon. I don't know lang how soon.


Road back to California

This road (interstate highway) is visible from the laundry room in my apartment complex before and this looks so beautiful at night. The mountains are dark with lights from passing cars. I've always wondered what it felt like to drive out of there and now, look, I don't even remember how many times I passed through the highway. 


Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park, Nevada

USA 2016: See You Again, Love - Las Vegas, Nevada

USA 2019: I Am Back, Love - Las Vegas, Nevada

I wrote these articles and while I was reading them, it was as if they were written by two different persons. I've already made a post about this when I posted my solo travel in Busan photodump but the difference between 2016 and 2019 was obtained through growth and acceptance. I wanted to cling to whatever was there in 2016 that's why it pained me terribly that I were to leave. During 2019, I've accepted that Las Vegas is "my home" and it will always be but then it's not someplace that I were to stay at for long. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to be able to travel back there but no more tears were shed upon departure. Just a heart that's looking forward to visiting there again someday. 


I want to repost a part of my Busan photodump, "I realized that I didn't cry 'cause I didn't want to leave. I cried for the freedom and strength I thought I was losing once I go back to the Philippines. I didn't realize immediately that the independence and strength were with me all along since then - they became part of my identity."




I hope you're doing well. 😊


Everything, in time. 💖
