In particular, the beautiful girl of the Z generation also possesses the standard “beauty queen” feature. Recently, in a self-published clip on her personal instagram, not only is Cinderella’s beautiful face attractive, but Cinderella’s long and flowing black hair is also enough to attract all eyes. “On the air” with a rustic beauty, Quyen Linh’s daughter makes many people bewildered by her elegant face, V-line chin, big round double eyelids, high nose bridge, shining smile. In the short clip, Cinderella confidently poses with jet-black hair. Sometimes a high ponytail shows off her facial features, sometimes a low bun like a Korean girl. The most remarkable moment is the moment when Cinderella shows off her profile, not only her golden ratio face but her silky smooth hair stream is also enough to “wake up” the internet. With long shiny hair curled and bouncy, Quyen Linh’s daughter is no different from a princess. Only through blurry images, but Cinderella still shines. Over time, the beautiful lines of Miss 10X become more and more perfect and brilliant. However, for many years, long, uncolored bouncy hair has always been Cinderella’s first choice. Thanks to this shiny cloud hair stream, people are more and more convinced that Cinderella possesses the standard beauty of a future Miss. Since childhood, Cinderella and Chestnut have long, gentle, feminine hair. By the time he went to school, even though his figure was as tall as his father’s, the boy was still loyal with the cute and mischievous side-tied hairstyle. A little older, Cinderella changed direction with her hair parted in the middle and bouncy curls. Thanks to her long, shiny hair, Cinderella can befriend many different hair types. Sometimes it’s straight, sometimes it’s high. At times, Cinderella is as gorgeous as a princess in wavy wavy hair. And no matter what style of column, the 16-year-old’s radiant beauty still shines thanks to Miss’s standard hair. It can be said that it is not natural that Cinderella can transform with many different hairstyles and still keep her hair admirably smooth and shiny. Part of it must be that the lady of the Quyen Linh family must be very careful about this “character” of thousands of people. And just looking at the hair stream of this Z gen girl, the sisters also see that sometimes you don’t have to follow the trend of sophisticated trimming or outstanding coloring, you can still shine with a hair Strong, natural smooth. So, what are the popular tips that are both simple and effective to help her have beautiful Miss Miss hair? – Find the right shampoo You may not know, shampoo plays a very important role in nourishing beautiful hair. Depending on the type of scalp and different hair condition, you will have your own suitable shampoo. Choosing the right shampoo will not only help clean the scalp and hair, but also keep it moisturized much better as well as not make the hair oily, cause dandruff … – Use conditioner properly In addition to finding a suitable shampoo for the scalp, you should not skip the step of using conditioner right after each wash. However, you need to be careful to avoid overusing these products because they can make the scalp easy to get dirty, quickly dirty and have more dandruff. Accordingly, after shampooing, use conditioner to gently massage the ends of the hair for about 1 minute to provide nutrients for stronger hair. In the process of using conditioner, you should not apply the product to the roots and let it stick to the scalp because this can cause scalp irritation as well as make hair fall more. – Incubate hair with vitamin E Besides the use of skin care, you can use vitamin E to smoothen your hair both effectively and cheaply. First, mix 2 vitamin E capsules with 2 tablespoons of yogurt, 1 egg to form a paste. Then, rinse your hair and gently apply the mixture to your hair from root to tip. Once the mixture is evenly applied, use a towel to let your hair rest for about 20 minutes before washing it off with your regular shampoo. Just do it 2-3 times a week with this formula, your dry, split ends will disappear completely and replaced with a smooth shine. – Do not abuse care products Many women often think that nourishing hair with many care products at the same time is more beneficial for the hair. However, this is a misconception. Because like the face skin, the scalp can still be “overeating” if you apply too many products at the same time. The main reason is because each type of hair conditioner has different ingredients, sometimes they do not support but also inhibit each other. Just a suitable hair care product, combined with incubating hair with natural hair masks is enough to help women have strong hair.

Chestnut trees are often planted in the corner of the yard or garden. Chestnut is a humble tree, accustomed to living a simple life. Many say they often grow on wild hills. But perhaps, ordinary people often encounter them in the familiar living space of an idyllic, rustic countryside with village and neighborly love, with simple and kind people. Looking at the slender tree’s shadow nestled in the wind, I often wonder: If it weren’t for the fragile, slightly curled long-petaled flowers, would anyone notice the existence of that tree in the world? The flowers are like beautiful little lanterns emitting a sweet fragrance, when they are new, they are green, when they have saved enough wind and dew, they will turn into sunny colors, which is a charming and delicate touch that nature created. dedicated to this plant. Chestnut flowers have long, thin, drooping petals, green when new, then turn pale yellow Because they are used to a simple life, even though they are planted in the yard, outside the gate or sometimes forgotten, lying dormant in a corner of the garden, chestnut flowers still radiate fragrance and bloom. Then, every time the wind accidentally passed by, carrying that cool, gentle scent, each person’s soul would give rise to feelings, feelings of restlessness, anxiety, reminiscent of the peaceful and full of peace. memories, nostalgia. From a distance, chestnut flowers look like pretty little lanterns hanging from the tree Many generations of students have passed the innocent and pure age with the poem “Bundle of chestnuts” by poet Xuan Hoai: “Where is the tree bank crowded with leaves / Where is the bunch of chestnuts hanging? / The wind brings strange scents / Always fragrant, stirring!”. Not only the scent, the “bundle of chestnut flowers” is reminiscent, but also filled with images and childhood memories: “Boyfriend picks up branches/Girlfriend picks up his hands/Boyfriend’s pocket is full/Girlfriend’s hat is behind/This bunch of yellow flowers/Inviting each other for her/Class hasn’t arrived yet/Scented the teacher’s desk “. Unknowingly smiling, the scent of chestnut flowers still follows the wind and fills my mind. Missing the days spent with friends playing under the shady old oak tree. An elementary school with a few rows of horizontal houses, the school yard is still the ground. The mischievous students gathered in groups of five and three, playing all kinds of games on that yard. This is playing umbrella, playing u, skipping rope, throwing cans, playing marbles… Everyone is enthusiastic and passionate as if they never get bored, the sweat pouring out on their faces also innocently raises their sleeves to swipe and swipe. and then engrossed in the game, shouting loudly. Remember the resounding reading lessons, math exercises that have to “mobilize” all 10 toes, fingers still find it difficult… Missing teachers, caring teachers, dedicated to teaching… Remember the feeling of craving ice cream cones sold in front of the school gate after school. The ice cream stick costs only 200 VND but yearns for a whole childhood… Many years have passed, those innocence and purity follow the hustle and bustle of life, but the memories and nostalgia still follow the attached scent of rag flowers, deposited in the mind forever. leave. That place is a peaceful landing place so that when we are tired and exhausted, we seek refuge, a “spiritual medicine” to ease the pain, heal the wounded soul. Now, every time I look out at the yard in front of the house, where the jasmine tree silently emits a sweet and fragrant fragrance, every flower season, I often remember that sweet and clear memory. This year’s grandmother is over 90 years old, often whispering to her granddaughter-in-law “help her pick some bunches of chestnuts, she puts them at the bedside for fragrance”. My father-in-law often keeps the habit of picking a few bunches of ragweed flowers on the full moon day and putting them on a small plate on the altar to burn incense for the ancestors. And my little daughter, even though she’s only just turned three, loves to smell chestnuts. I am glad that. However, it is still attractive with industrial, synthetic scents emanating from cakes, candies and countless other things. But after all, the memories and nostalgia of a wild flower with a sweet and fragrant scent will be a peaceful destination that follows us for the rest of our lives.

I went to Le Petit Resto ‘, mid-summer midday in early April. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Xuan’s European restaurant (57 years old) is nestled in Le Van Duyet alley, Binh Thanh district. Diners to the restaurant can go from the direction of Bong Bridge or along the bank of Truong Sa embankment. The space of the restaurant is quite narrow and not too special. However, what impresses me the most is that European dishes are quite affordable, even 50% lower than the Western stores I have tried. “The shop sells mainly for profit, the customer is happy and delicious,” Ms. Xuan smiled when I asked about the “chestnut” price here. Serving Western dishes from 30,000 VND The shop does not have a parking space. I have to keep the car about 10 meters away. Opening the order menu, I understood why European dishes here are so popular with young people. The Western menu is quite rich, from salad dishes, chicken with sauce, chips … to full stomach like pizza, pasta, steak … The price ranges from 29,000 to 179,000 VND / piece, which is a plus point. for the restaurant to hide in the alley. For a rather sultry day, I ordered a plate of tuna salad and homemade aloe vera juice. Try the first salad, the cool feeling of vegetables, tomatoes, corn hits the tip of the tongue, followed by the rich, sour taste of tuna with vinegar sauce. “The vinegar oil at the shop makes special than many other places,” the owner confidently introduced me. According to the owner, diners come here often like pasta dishes with cream sauce, baked pasta … because the taste is easy to eat and the price is “chestnut”, only about 45,000 VND. Middle-aged people prefer more premium foods like beefsteak, pizza, and grilled salmon. In addition to salty food, the shop also sells desserts including mango pudding and cream brulle, priced at 30,000 VND. Seafood spaghetti is the restaurant’s favorite dish. Photo: Hai Nhi. Many customers of the restaurant also share their feelings with me. A gourmet named Huy (Phu Nhuan district) was surprised when he received the bill. His family’s 6-course meal costs approximately 500,000 VND. The owner shared that the children’s hobby of Western food was the inspiration to open the restaurant. “I hope everyone can try Western clothes at affordable prices, especially young people who don’t have too much money,” said Ms. Xuan. According to my observations, the restaurant not only attracts young people, some middle-aged customers or families also come here to enjoy European food. The space is quite narrow, about 10 m2, including 7-8 dining tables. I arrived at more than 11am, when the shop just opened, but the number of customers was quite crowded, only 2-3 tables were empty. The space of the restaurant is quite narrow, but there are still large groups and families coming to eat. Photo: Hai Nhi. Ms. Xuan’s restaurant was opened more than 5 months ago. Initially, the shop was just a narrow place with few tables and chairs, with low rental costs to do business. Later, the shop moved to a new location a few units away from the old place, to have more space. The owner said the cost of premises per month is about 20 million VND. The staff quickly decorates to deliver the food to the guests. Photo: Hai Nhi. The vitality inside the narrow kitchen Storing culinary quintessence, kitchen is considered the soul of every restaurant and restaurant. Entering Le Petit Resto’s kitchen, the aroma of sauces and roasted meat immediately aroused my sense of smell. The special feature of the restaurant is that the staff is quite few, most of the employees are family members. In addition to Ms. Xuan, she also has 2 younger sisters who are in charge of the kitchen, and 1 person is washing dishes. Recently, because customers are crowded, she has hired a kitchen assistant and 2-3 service staff. Her two daughters take turns serving, concocting, billing and closing the books at the end of each month after school and work. The cooking space is quite small, including 4 kitchen people and 2 waitresses in and out to receive food and bring it to guests. Ms. Xuan is considered the “captain” here, directing the kitchen assistants to prepare ingredients and decorate dishes. Each person in the kitchen undertakes a different task, but almost everyone is in a tight limb, urging each other to work to make food quickly. When I went in, apart from Ms. Hoa main cooking and 1 chicken fry, the other two kitchen assistants were preparing vegetables and setting the dishes on a plate to decorate. Bustling atmosphere inside the small kitchen. Photo: Hai Nhi. “There are times when customers are crowded, not in time, everyone in the kitchen has to do many tasks at the same time such as cooking, washing dishes …”, Ms. Hoa said while preparing beefsteak. When talking to me outside, she appeared to be a gentle, gentle woman. By the time she entered the kitchen, she became energetic, resourceful, focusing on cooking and guiding the work for the staff. That was when I learned that the owner had more than 20 years of culinary experience, and used to be the chef of a famous hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. However, Ms. Xuan is not a “race child” in the culinary industry. “I came from an accountant background, I did not have a job, and was introduced to a tour company to try out. At first, I just thought of cooking for fun. Who expected the chef and the cook. Deputy sure sees that I am gifted, so he always has a career. Since then, the profession of kitchen has followed me until now, “she said. Perhaps more than 20 years of cooking experience has made Ms. Xuan’s kitchen operation quite flexible and professional. On the hot fire, she quickly turned the steak, adding a little butter to increase the creaminess. “Beefsteak is very difficult to cook. Depending on whether you want to eat medium or rare, you have a different cooking time,” Ms. Xuan said. Ms. Xuan is preparing the beefsteak for the guests. Photo: Hai Nhi. Thanks to old relationships, the shop has a familiar source to import seafood, beef, and salmon ingredients … and sell them all during the day, absolutely not to leave them overnight. This ingredient is processed from 8:00 am to 11:00 am, not ready to be refrigerated. Therefore, the sauce is hot and fragrant, keeping the original flavor when delivered to diners. Normally, Ms. Xuan will get up early from around 4:00 am to 5:00 am to do housework, then go to the market to buy snacks, then go to the shop to prepare sauces and preliminary processing of ingredients. An employee of the restaurant is frying chicken. Photo: Hai Nhi. The average cooking time for each dish is about 15-20 minutes. “Sometimes customers keep remorseful, so we have to try to manipulate quickly. The shop doesn’t pre-process before,” said Ms. Xuan. Therefore, guests may have to wait a bit longer than other restaurants. After beefsteak finished, she began to cook crab noodles again. The bustling atmosphere is evident in the small kitchen. People not only pay attention to their part but also remind each other to create the perfect dish. The conversation between me and Ms. Xuan was continuously interrupted by the staff’s urging. Ms. Xuan spoke while quickly stirring the spices over the fiery red pans. “Sometimes the customers are too crowded, do not make up the dishes in time, Xuan skips the decor step,” the owner of the shop turned to tell me. Kitchen space is hot, narrow, but no one employee complains. Photo: Hai Nhi. A special feature of the restaurant is that it does not use monosodium glutamate. The pure European dishes are seasoned with rich flavors, slightly modified to suit Vietnamese tastes. According to Ms. Xuan, if cooked as the restaurant, the taste is quite faint, Vietnamese customers are not used to eating. “Working as a European kitchen is very hard. My two daughters do not follow their mother’s career”, Ms. Xuan said. She said that her oldest daughter is a doctor, the other is studying pharmacist in the third year. All the accounting jobs of the restaurant are also done by the two daughters, so there is no need to hire more people. The shop is open from 11am to 2pm, then has a lunch break. In the afternoon, from 17:00, the shop started to sell again until the stock was out. “There are days when guests come from 16:30. I also let them in but have to wait until the right time to have food”, Ms. Xuan shared. Tran Vu: “Small and beautiful restaurant. Delicious food, cheap price is the advantage of the restaurant”. Thuy Trang: “The restaurant has a small and cozy space. Two people should order a combo to eat many dishes. Beefsteak, tuna salad, baked seafood pasta with cream sauce, pizza, pasta are the must-try dishes”. Minh Hien: “The shop is in an easy-to-find location, wide alley. The space is a bit small, not suitable for large groups of people. Nice presentation is a plus point”. Mai Thy: “Fast food, no need to wait”. Pm Food Travel: “Although European food has had a variation, I find the taste is still a bit pale”. Let’s eat pizza for 400,000 VND in Ho Chi Minh City Zing compared two high-priced cheese pizzas. With a difference of over VND 30,000, 4P’s Burrata Parma Ham pizza impresses more than Logic Baked Prosciutto and Burrata Salad.
