Rains and grey skies are a constant presence to our days these past few weeks. Rather than get depressed about it which I usually do, I am trying to be more active and just maintain a positive (read: happy) outlook. I still worry about the flu (the dreaded Influenza A(H1N1) virus) hitting my family but [...]
I have to confess that all those years of not taking care of myself have caught up with me. I am blessed with good genetics – good skin, tall height, smart brain cells – and I have not taken care of it all. I am two years behind 30 and would you believe I have [...]
My sister is really a fashionista. While most women don’t walk out of the house without putting on make-up because they feel they don’t have a face, my sister doesn’t walk out of the house without her complete set of fashion jewelry – her layered necklaces, her earrings (2 pairs), her funky rings and bracelet/arm [...]
A friend of mine recently switched careers. From being a make-up artist she now has finished her culinary course and she is set to graduate (with honors) this Saturday. I was surprised to find out about this thru Facebook. Would you believe she was my make-up artist during my wedding? But back then, she really [...]
I need new clothes, I think. The husband has told me time and time again that I don’t need new clothes, I just need to LOSE weight. I have almost new and great clothes at sizes 12-14 but I’m a few (many more) sizes than that. I really wish I can have the determination to [...]
Remember back in January I blogged about how we went crazy shopping over at E.L.F with their $1 offerings? Well, the ELF loot arrived a day before my birthday! Yey!
I only bought $6.00 worth of stuff but Glo gave me a kit for Neutral Eyes and a bunch of lip gloss in different colors. I [...]
I need to tell you one secret: I have this fear of going bald. Really. And I have basis for this fear! My maternal side (grandfather) has a history of baldness, my grandfather and his sons (my uncles) have suffered from it. My mom has thin hair and a receding hairline – she makes a [...]
A friend and I had a blast looking at some of our old pictures at Flickr. I was so surprised (well, sort of) on how much I’ve changed (I grew a LOT bigger). But honestly, the one I miss most, more than being thin, is my nice dewy skin. Having PCOS, obesity couple with poor [...]
They are not what they are used to. I think I used to have lovely hands. They were like tapered candles, as my Mom used to say, long and pointy. And soft too – one needs to say that.
Now they are coarse, from washing too many dishes and scrubbing the floor and [...]
Just in case I’d get to really lose the poundage soon, I’d be investing in these classic pieces where I won’t even mind the prices. These would go a really long way.
Little Black Dress
The little black dress is an essential piece in any woman’s wardrobe. Go for the best [...]
