You've probably seen the first store of OWNDAYS here in Abreeza Mall Davao City and you can tell that this isn't just a typical EO Stores in a shopping mall or anywhere in Davao.


Honestly, I am planning to get a pair of reading eyeglasses and viola I was invited by PREP Davao for the opening of Owndays first store in Davao.

OWNDAYS a fast-growing chain optical shops from Japan, known for its all-in-one pricing system and quick 20-minute processing time.

Walking into the store, OWNDAYS gives you the liberty to try on all frames with its open modules to infuse more fun and convenience into the process of buying your glasses. With the help of their Licensed Optometrists who will facilitate the eye exams with the state of the art equipment in refraction and with the technical know-how of their Optical Technicians to ensure that you're given lenses that are perfect for you.



I really had a hard time choosing the right frame for me, so the staff advice me to get my prescription lenses. You can have lenses made in any of these three ways:

(1) Have you current lenses copied, (2) get a free in-store eye check up , or (3) bring your doctor's prescription.

In my case, I forget to bring my old eyeglasses for astigmatism that's why they have my eye check first.

We went inside a Refraction Room and Doc Althea a licensed Optometrist facilitate me.



After a thorough eye checking, she advice me to use a reading glasses because I am suffering from a farsightedness  and digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome. She suggests using a pair of reading glasses that use specifically treated lenses that are ergonomically suited for reading both on papers, books, magazines, newspaper and on the computer and smartphone too!

And because it took me too long to browse through their frame selections, one staff suggest the AIR Ultem frame.




Frame of AIR Ultem is made of unique and super flexible material called "Ultem", which makes the frames lighter than ever and a pair of Air Ultem only weighs 9.4g.

AIR Ultem "Gentle as Feathers and Light as the Air".

At OWNDAYS their prices are inclusive of the frame, ultra-thin multi-coated lenses and eye exam with no additional charges regardless of the high grade. Prices are very affordable starts from PHp1,990 to PHp6,990.

A simple pricing system means what is printed on the frame is all you have to pay - that is for both the frame and the lenses (regardless of the lens grade). 




And with the technical know-how of their Optical Technicians and of the latest technology in lens edging, you can get your glasses in 20-minutes after payment - except for option lenses. On top of that, all frames and lenses covered by their 1-year limited warranty and lifetime maintenance services.

As soon I received my glasses I felt they would suit me. I don't really have a bad eyes but I enjoy wearing glasses as my headband, and AIR Ultem is a great choice because it is flexible, very light and it go well with clothes too!


VIP's during the opening got a customized eyeglasses case.

But before you undergo waxing procedure, here's a few insider secrets  straight from the aestheticians of the go-to destination for all-natural, sugar waxing at Hey Sugar!

• Skip the lotion of the day of your appointment. For best results, we'll need to clean, dry skin.
• Stop shaving at least two weeks before your appointment. Hair needs to be long enough to lie flat on your skin. Those who shave typically have hair grows uneven, which makes it difficult in removing using wax.
• Give your skin some breathing time after you wax. Your skin will be sensitive if exposed.
• Avoid the sun after wax. So don't schedule your appointment on the day before you leave for the beach.
• In general, avoid sun exposure this will also includes sauna, steam rooms and hot showers. GO FOR COLD WATER after waxing!
• Don't wear tight clothing after an appointment, particularly synthetic lycra you usually wear as workout clothes, which is also means this is your best excuse to skip the gym.
• Begin exfoliating a couple days after waxing to make sure that you prevent ingrown hairs.

Only trust Hey Sugar! for your waxing experience. It is healthier and more comfortable because they only use 100% naturally hypoallergenic sugar wax that minimizes side effects such as allergic reactions and chemical irritations caused by traditional waxing.

MY EYELASH PERMING EXPERIENCE

My lashes are not that long but they're straight. I always rely on my eyelash curler, so when I got the chance to have a FREE service from Hey Sugar! I was excited.

I've heard about eyelash extensions pros and cons and it sounds icky to me. Eyelash extensions is a big no-no for me. And the fact that you put fake lashes on your own eyelashes well thank you. I'm more safe with eyelash perming.

WHAT IS EYELASH PERMING? Or an eyelash permanent wave or known as the eyelash perm. It is a permanent relaxer that straightens the hair, a cosmetic procedure done by a licensed Aestheticians to flip up eyelashes using hair perming technology.

    
I booked an appointment with them one day after our Nailaholics nail pampering. On the day of the perming, I popped into one of their rooms and saw my other colleagues Dorz Calla from Davao Digital Influencers team having its eyelash perming procedure too.

While waiting, I was asked to fill in some forms then I was led by an aestheticians to the first cubicle after Dorz done with her procedure. The cubicle was small and clean with a bed on one side, a small drawer and powerful lamp on the other side.

The aestheticians asked me to lie down then turned on the powerful lamp and start cleaning the oily part around my eyes.

Lashes are treated with perm solutions which is then followed by the neutralizer and sometimes depending on which system you use will have a nourishing oil as the last step, to recondition and strengthen the lashes. Each being left on about 10 minutes.


Once the lashes have been applied by the FDA approved glue 100% safe and stings less, that doesn't hurt the lashes to the perm rod or silicone pad (with sizes S, M, L) the perming solution is applied to the upturned lash and left to set to 30 minutes, followed by a neutralizer which is also left for another 15 minutes. Once the silicone pad is removed the eyelids and lashes are cleansed of any residue. My over all procedure takes almost an hour, that I had to remind myself to not open my eyes or else it won't work. So I was drift off to sleep.

Another thing that convince me to do the eyelash perming is that it last longer compared to eyelash extensions. Eyelash Perming last for about 2 to 3 months, extensions last for 2 weeks.

For the first 3 days, you are not allowed to put mascara on your lashes. And make sure within a week stay away from going to the beach --- avoid sea and rain water.



And I have to tell you this, I don't regret in choosing the eyelash perming. It was perfect and worth it! I was amazed with the result and my eyelashes looks so awesome now.
