Biotin Supports Healthier Skin & Metabolism: Biotin can also help support healthier, glowing skin & metabolism. Biotin's role in skin health may be related to its effect on fat metabolism, which is important for the skin. Biotin is one of several B vitamins that supports a healthy metabolism, working as a co-enzyme to help break down food, including carbohydrates, fats & protein. Nourish your skin from the inside out with MaryRuth’s great tasting Biotin chews!

Delicious, Easy to Swallow Gummy Chews: These unique, Biotin gummy chews for hair, skin & nails are a delicious alternative to taking pills, capsules or chalky powders. All adults can enjoy the amazing benefits of these sugar-free, Biotin chews!

This blend of B Vitamins, Zinc and Fo-Ti Extract is formulated to strengthen hair, skin and nails. Biotin deficiencies can lead to thinning hair, dry and scaly skin, and brittle nails. This boost of B vitamins — Biotin (B7), B9 (Folate) and B12 (Methylcobalamin) — is crucial for cell formation, development and health. Zinc is needed for a healthy immune system, cellular metabolism, and skin integrity. Research has shown zinc to be an effective healing tool for skin lesions, including acne, and helps return luster to hair. Reynoutria multiflora or Fo-Ti Extract, long used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is there to improve skin health and promote hair growth, and may even have a restorative effect on graying hair.

Each bottle comes with 30 servings.

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

I was looking for a biotin supplement that I can take to support and boost my hair growth. My hair strands had been crazy thin these days especially when the pandemic came, probably because of stress. When I saw that Mary Ruth's have a Biotin line and they were in the form of gummies, I knew I had to try it!

Mary Ruth's Biotin gummies is a tad pricey compared to other biotin supplements. It costs ₱1,300.00 a bottle (60 pcs.) which is already quite expensive for me. Other biotin supplements in the market costs ₱600-₱800 only. I bought one anyway just to give it a try! The packaging is pretty neat and minimal. I took the supplements twice a day, every after meal. One after lunch and one after dinner. The gummies were heart-shaped and tasted like berries. It doesn't get stuck in my teeth and was very easy to chew! I actually looked forward to taking this everyday because it's yummy!

I only bought 1 bottle and so far there were no significant changes in my body except that my nails grew faster than normal. I didn't notice any changes in my hair strands, they were still normal as is. My hair also didn't grew longer quickly. As for the effects on my skin, it didn't clear my acne, didn't lightened my dark spots nor smoothened my skin. The results might have not been significant because I only took the supplement for a month.

Will I purchase again? Maybe yes, maybe not.

Yes, because it tastes good and it's made with great ingredients that are all safe and healthy for the body!

It has no GMO, it's gluten free and safe for vegan.

No, because it's too expensive for me to take on a regular basis. It also seems like the effects of the product will only be noticeable after 3 to 6 months of use.

FIX: Bench Salon at SM San Lazaro Branch

Monday, February 15, 2016

SM SAN LAZARO Branch

I have always been on a hunt in finding the best salon and the most affordable one in Manila. If not, the one who can give me a good fringe cut the least. I have had a long straight hair for more than 3 years now and it's not easy to maintain.

I usually do a trim on the ends of my hair every 4 to 6 months just to take out all the split ends and then have my side bangs trimmed.

I do not have a particular salon that I often go to but I usually have my hair cut in Bambang Fresh Salon - it's just a cheap salon but since I want to cut a short part of my hair only I do not see the need to spend a huge amount for salon services. This time though I felt the urge to look for a salon that I can really spend on to have my hair cut.

I was choosing between David Salon and Bench Fix Salon since these are the nearest salon's in my house which is just located at SM San Lazaro.

Services

This is the Bench Fix Salon's most recent rate card (Feb 2016). I took the FIX - A STYLIST for P250. The shop assistants would ask the service you want and the stylist you prefer to have your service done. If you're a first timer better ask for the senior stylist so to assure that you'll have a good haircut.

Sm San Lazaro branch tends to have a lot of customers so I suggest you call for a reservation of a time slot for your convenience or book in advance before you roam around the mall to reduce the long waiting time period.

Inside the salon

The space of the salon is enough to accommodate 7 to 10 customers in one sitting however it will still depends on what service the customers will avail.

What I like about this place is it's very clean and neat. Does not smell awful, it is well lit and everything is visible. Their products are in order and even the towels.

My stylist's name is Ferdie.

He asked me the style that I wanted and I said I just simply wanted a trim and a perfect side bangs.

A different person shampooed and blow-dried my hair, after that when I was all set Ferdie came back to me and then started trimming my hair. He is really good and was able to achieve my desired hair cut and he even gave me a lot of tips on how I should be taking care of my hair and how to make my bangs 'pop' and have more volume.

Side Bangs

I will definitel come back, I really love my hair cut! My bangs popped and I was ready to go out and party! Have you tried their services? How do you feel about it? Comment below!
