An Afternoon of Solaire Mixology

We had the chance to roam around inside Solaire a couple of days ago to try out some of the drinks they have in their restaurants. The activity included some pretty good exercises on how to make them and I got to mix drinks right off the bat. Yes, we were a little overwhelmed but I think we did get the hang of it.

We poured Bourbon, Chambord, Cherry Herring and Cranberry Martini into the shaker with ice. Then poured the whole thing in a martini glass and put the mango-pomegranate foam on top. This is a sweet cocktail called Duchess. It would be a pretty good starter if you're with friends and starting the night young.

This one is a Margarita with Agave Caviar Pearls. It's made with a mix of Reposado Tequila, Cointreau, Lime Juice and Demerara Sugar. I usually have this frozen but their version is a bit fancy since they put in those floating thingies on top. I love the contrast and how it tasted. It's a bit unusual because the pandan like taste was present so you can't really imagine that with ordinary margaritas. It is really special.

This one's called Smoked Russian. It's got Vodka that is infused with smoke from hickory chips, tobacco infused Kahlua, giving it a darker profile. Stir the cocktail with a cinnamon stick and you've got it made. I love dark ones because it's more masculine, I'm not a fan of the sweet ones.

Rose Fostanes: My Way

Rose Fostanes sings "This is my life"

Filipina caregiver Rose "Osang" Fostanes sang her heart out a few days ago in a press dinner at Sir Boy's Food Republic in Quezon City. Rose Fostanes won the hearts of people worldwide for winning XFactor Israel which happened a couple months ago. She went back to the Philippines to record and promote her own album released by Star Records. She happily waved the thing when we sat down with her that evening. She laments "This is it, this is my dream! I now have my own album!".   

I have already known her story because I followed her journey in XFactor Israel in Youtube videos but I didn't know how much struggle she has gone through being an OFW. Her family is so proud of her because she has fulfilled a life long dream at the age of 45. It's a little late she says but she's so happy she won the stint even if she's not an Israeli. She also says it was awesome to see the Israeli's to be so genuinely good to her. No matter how flawed some of her songs are, they still applaud her normally. She is a little sad though that some Pinoys have been too critical about her performances and says she reads all those comments from websites. She is a little sad but hopeful that this in some way would change. Going back to her album, she says this has been a really good blessing for her and she also hopes that Filipinos would appreciate how much work is put in in these songs. Her interpretations of classics and the new songs from world class composers was a surprise. I even heard something very pop and modern which she says was given to her in Israel even if she didn't win XFactor yet, a number that you should never miss to listen to. Who knows, she might end up hitting the charts soon and get played regularly in the airwaves, something that she wishes to see soon. 

She hopes that you continue to support her like the time you watched her in X Factor Israel. "Rose Fostanes: My Way" is now available in major record stores nationwide and is released by Star Records.

La Belleza Hair and Nail Salon: 80% Off Davines Treatments

If you've seen me these past few days, you probably have noticed that I love getting my hair cut and colored the right way. It's all done by Cher and the good people from La Belleza Nail and Hair Salon. I've had it bleached a couple of weeks ago and colored Ash Gray and Red but I didn't know that you can actually have your color done again without going through the whole bleaching process. This means I can have around 3-4 different color changes if I wanted to in just 1 bleach. I felt so good that they told me that and of course, I'd really love to have my hair in a different shade. Their stylists suggested that I get the blue one (which I adored earlier) but when they mentioned they had a new green camouflage like color, I went for that instead. I always like something unusual so Cher started with the color and treatment.

I apologize for the multitude of selfies. We had to LOL!

Now I mentioned that I didn't have to get bleached again so this was the part where they put in the color. Right after this, they put in prolly a combination treatment for the hair so it'll be soft and shiny afterwards. I did feel remarkably glad that it would be easy this time.

These guys are experts in color and they've won several awards to prove it. Now that the color has been changed, a short few snips and a small amount of wax... my hair is perfect!

You see, La Belleza Hair and Nail Salon wants you to experience the same good treatments that I've gone through and got you a deal that you can't resist. Through the popular deal site CASHCASHPINOY, they're offering an 80% discount on Davines treatments for a limited time only. 

Get that great hair you've always wanted at less the cost! Hair Treatments using Davines has never been this good! 

Set an appointment with them by contacting 09264563433 or 09277172014. See you at the salon! :)
