I’ve always been proud of my virgin hair. I’ve never had it colored (not even just highlights), relaxed, or even subjected it to hot oil treatment. I guess I’m lucky that I don’t really need them, since my hair’s naturally straight and brownish, but maybe it’s also because I’m wary of letting other people touch my hair!

But when the opportunity to try one of Essensuals Toni&Guy’s services came along, I thought, what the heck, if I was going to let anyone do their magic on my mane, at least let a world-renowned salon do it! And I was leaving for the US, too, two days after we visited the Essensuals Toni&Guy salon in Crowne Plaza Hotel, so it was definitely the right time to have them do the deed! And as it turns out, that first time was truly an unforgettable experience.

There’s actually a great shopping place within the Araneta complex apart from Gateway Mall. It has some really amazing finds and even a quaint Italian restaurant you have probably heard about and should definitely try.

Have you heard of Cubao Expo? It is the former The Marikina Shoe Expo, nestled between the Araneta bus terminal and Puregold, and located behind Ali Mall & the old Rustan’s Superstore, which now houses Automatic Supercenter and ACS Call Center.

 

Among its tenants are I Love You store, Grand Thrift Shop, Little Divisoria, The Reading Room (with lots of fashion finds and even a soul card reading room where you can have your fortune told by its proprietor, Sandy Allan), Breathing Space, White Box Gallery, Sputnik Fantastik Comicbook Shop, and Bellinis Italian restaurant, which we mentioned at the beginning of this post.

Learn more about this quaint shopping place hidden in the heart of Cubao in Quezon City as well as their exciting shopping events after the jump.
