Jack's Ridge - Overlooking Davao City


Jack's Ridge is notably a must go site when traveling to Davao City. The place not only gives visitors the best view of the city, it also provides some starter facts on Davao.

Due to the nature of its scenery, you can expect an uphill terrain going there. However, once you get to the area you would be greeted by some good selection of restaurants and cafes. 

This will be the first thing that you would see reach the place
What makes it different from the usual collection of culinary offerings, are the quirky yet definitely interesting sculptures that reflect Davaoeno culture.

Lighten Hair Naturally Using Honey


Coloring my hair has always been my part of my beauty regimen. However, since I'm recently into organic products and since my last visit to to parlor for a re-color had almost deep fried my scalp with chemicals,I was looking into lightening my hair naturally and painlessly.

Good thing my sister recommended me to a youtube channel  AndreasChoice. You can see the link below:


She uses simple kitchen ingredients to lighten her hair:

  • 1/2 Cup Honey 
  • Banana -1 piece
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • Empty jar
Steps: 
1. Combine all ingredients into the jar
2. Apply it on damp hair
3. Wrap hair in towel or wear shower cap
4. Wait for 30-40 minutes
5. Wash hair and dry

Honey contains natural peroxide that lighten the hair and olive oil act as peroxide boosters. Other honey hair treatments use either lemon or cinnamon.

I have yet to try honey as hair lightener for myself but I once I did, will be definitely posting the results afterwards.
