Metrosexual men

admin — Fri, 20 May 2011 01:17:40 +0000

While some women can be considered “kikay,” what exactly do we call their male counterpart? Our generation happens to coin a term especially for them – “Metrosexual Men.” They even carry their own kikay kits with them. Open it up and you’ll see not just toothbrush. But cologne, gel, powder, et.al. True! But this does not imply that they are gay. Well, these are straight men, only they choose to pamper themselves a wee bit more.

Take David Beckham, for instance. Never was his sexuality in question but he is considered one of the ultimate metrosexual models of today. There are other high profile celebs who fit the bill. This is why products have been invented to suit the guy’s skin type. Department stores even have their own side of products for men. Another way to keep themselves beautiful is by working out and regularly taking multivitamins. One of the causes of lack of vitamins is having dry skin. You know dry skin means looking older than your real age. Who wants that? Great thing about companies is that they manufacture and formulate supplements according to consumer sectors; for instance, diabetic, women’s, men’s and children. Multivitamins men formulations generally were prescribed to be taken ones or twice a day, but it’s better to ask the physician for the right dosage. Remember, you want to feel and look beautiful not overdosed.

Orange Patina Home Beauty

This intricately designed orange patina kitchen sink caught my fancy as I was window shopping online. What can I say, I just love it. Amongst the wide range of copper kitchen sinks, this is hands down a stand out. Made in Mexico and handmade as handmade can be. It is hammered finish, which gives it that lovely finish.

Beauty and fashion are two of my loves but this pretty sink sure looks kikay enough to deserve my worthwhile attention. Love it!

Pretty Things for the Home

Aren’t these the prettiest of rugs? After debating over where to put this post, I decided it has to be live here in Kikay Corner. For one, this has become my inspiration to stick with floral theme for our home.

A couple of these pretty things could serve as lovely area rugs in the rooms. All those who are kikay love not just to prettify their overall look but also the things that surround them. Although this should not be one’s sole purpose in life, it could be one motivating factor, to live and work in a place with style and comfort. I know this for a fact because I hold my office right at home. My next kikay home project is to get the perfect linens for my loose couch covers.

A Polished Canvass

admin — Mon, 26 May 2008 10:23:00 +0000

This is basically what every woman wants. A clear, blemish free skin. Here is an alternative to the not so brave to go under the knife like myself. A non-invasive diamond peel right from your very own home.

The Polishing Peel by NuSkin will give you that smooth lift without the sting. It is an extract from pumpkin that is designed to lift out dead cells giving your face that bright and glowing peel. It banishes the dullness and leave skin smooth as silk. Ideally, this should be used three times a day. I used to but I personally have used this just once a week. It is gentle to the skin unlike the more popular facial scrubs. This is not a paid advertisement.

I know I would be maximizing the benefits if only I use it three times a week. But to be honest, my face feels revitalized, translucent every single time I use this. It can be pricey, though. But it would be worth the try, rather than going through invasive procedure, which I will not go through, if I can help it. As “kikay” as I think I am, I am not that brave yet and would still consider myself towards the more “conservative” league. Maybe when I hit midlife or something. But that would be another story.

T. LeClerc Has Got You Covered

Why would I even be surprised when the mother of all face powders turns out to be the best in the market? T. LeClerc history dates back to 1881. A pharmacist concocted the formulation that suited all kinds of complexion of women the world over.

This face powder really has you covered. I have mine in Yellow Banane. That’s as weird as it gets, the name that is. When you get your face covered – it’s texture is incredibly light and silky. The seamless matte finish is just to behold. This is really a biggie for “kikays” from our humid land. You will always get that amazing glow as it controls the oilies like no other face powder can. For that porcelain, flawless look it will be T. LeClerc for me and no other.

Kikay: What’s In A Word? ("Kikay" Defined)

admin — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 10:41:00 +0000

The term “kikay”started to flourish and began as a lingo to describe someone who is flirtatious back in the late 90′s, practically coined by the Generation X. It has since then evolved to defining someone who is flirtatious to someone who prefers and loves everything girly, pink and sassy.

I have seen that this terminology has not yet saturated the net despite of its reputation of vast eloquence on just about every definition. Clearly, there is no definite meaning attached to it. You can check out for yourselves and Google it and you will find none. You will be directed to several websites carrying the term, the prevailing spot for the term that I go check from time to time is Kikay Exchange or if you opt to go check with wikipedia’s, several names (mostly local actresses) whose names are attached to the term “kikay” will result from the search. There is really no clear distinction but the mere description of someone or something “kikay”. Everything pink, girly and sassy.

Anyone out there who has got a better meaning to it? Feel free to drop in your thoughts.
