Wow, waiting to get FH's Christmas gift to me was so worth all that built up excitement! OH MY GOODNESS! I can't believe he got me the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lens I've been wanting for months and months! I originally thought of getting a point-and-shoot camera to bring to family get-togethers and when we go out on dates. It's such a bother to...

I saw this on my facebook today: Wow, so BB creams are really coming to North America huh. Hm... They sell for $39 a tube if you want one. ...

I just want to let you guys know how disappointed I am with the elf brush I purchased a while back. It sheds non-stop. It's from their Essential line called Total Face brush. But hey, for $1, you get what you pay for. I'm throwing this out. I am done using it. Their Studio line is another story though. ...

Christmas time! Do you like our tree? I do! Know what else I like? CHRISTMAS SONGS! Seriously, the best jam for this time of the year and I have the radio set to this station that plays it all day. Hahaha! ...

I made minatamis na saging earlier... I think I used too much salt.. And since one of the bananas I used wasn't that ripe, there were some weird tasting pieces. Yuck. No worries, I fixed it and learned my lesson so hopefully will get it better the next time I try. Hehehe! I boiled it for another 10 or so minutes to get...

Oh my my!! It's December already!! I have not started my Christmas shopping or, truth be told, make a list. Running out of time!! I. ALWAYS. DO. THIS. Whyyy?! In the meantime, away with thouse thoughts because it's future husband's birthday tomorrow and then mine soon after. Yay! We're going to see the Nutcracker ballet this weekend to celebrate. Super excited!! ...

Okay, everyone is talking about Black Friday. I did not go out to join the crowd but that does not mean I am not taking part of it. I prefer to stay in and shop online instead. So okay, since I have decided to do this as a shopping for "me, myself and I" day, I thought I should spend a wee bit...

Just being silly on a Sunday night... hay, work nanaman bukas. Earlier today, Jake and I went to go shopping at Target (love love love). I mainly wanted to buy gloves for when I'm driving because when I leave home before 7am, the steering wheel is super cold, and when I leave work around 6pm, the steering wheel is, ...again, cold. Anyway, I...

Hello hello internet! Today, I painted my nails with LA Girl's Matte polishes that I got from CherryCulture. It's part of the haul I got the last time I blogged. Anyway, I bought two colors that really aren't that different from each other. I wish I got a blus shade instead. Oh well, nothing I can do anymore. These aren't fully matte, if...

 So here is my stash! I got all of these when they had the 40% off on their studio line. I limited my shopping to under $25, tax and shipping included. I got 3 Studio line brushes and 5 of their Essentials, aka $1 brushes. LOL! I haven't really used any yet but I think I will like them, except for the Total...

Driving... still driving... So last weekend, when my fiance and I were supposed to see the orchestra, we were running late and very hungry, so we decided not to go. Huhuhu! I know, so sad!! But it's all okay because it worked out in the end, we still had major fun and were fed for free! Yay! Courtesy of my cousin, who happened...

Yay! I finally got myself one of these sphere balms! Everyone seems to be talking about it and even my cousin has one! I picked one up at Fred Meyers for around $3. They only had Summer Fruit on sale. Oh man! I love these little things! They sure are worth all the hype! The formula is really great! It hydrates very well...

Guest post written by Pheobe Call I like to pay as much attention to the decor in my home as I pay attention to what I wear every day. I've always been the type to plan out what I'm going to wear every day and I love thinking about the next change that I'm going to make to my home decor. To me,...

My very first CherryCulture package got delivered today! Their NYX lipsticks were on sale for $1.99 each so I grabbed four just to test them out. I'm actually not very happy with the colors I bought, or with the product in itself. I'm not too sure why. Maybe it's because it was almost 10PM when I swatched these babies. (Yeah, I swiped them...

Sorry for the ugly photo quality. I used my ready-to-throw-away Samsung point-and-shooter because I'm too lazy to charge my other camera. But wow, you can definitely tell how bad barrel distortion is on this camera. That's what you get for a wide lens compact. Anyway... my "work" bag is from Forever 21 and I snatched it up on sale for $12 (?). I...

I've wanted to try this color changing nail polish ever since I first heard about it but I don't really go to the mall that often and when I do, I forget to visit Claire's. But last Sunday I did not! Yay! I was so excited! Well, well, well... it wasn't as exciting as I hoped it would be. First, the application was...

I picked up this L'oreal product called EverStrong. It's supposed to strengthen your hair helping it against breakage. I actually wanted to get the EverSleek one but I liked the idea of an overnight treatment so I chose this instead. It pumps out a blob like so: (Hahaha! Sorry for the lack of quality descriptive words.) Anyway, it carries this hair product scent...

Jake took me shopping last weekend. Here are the items I picked up. Purple 3/4 sleeve mini dress. The chest looks mighty off in this picture but after trying it again at home, I figured it's because I didn't zip it up all the way. Yeah, you need another person to help you with this dress. I found this semi sheer chiffon blouse....

I did some shopping yesterday but I have no time to actually blog about it right now. Hello! 10 hour shift at work! I did, however, take pictures of the e.l.f. gift set I got from Target. I got them for $5! It came with an eyeshadow brush! Yay! I was actually looking to get some Sonia Kashuk brushes but I was too...

Oh yeah. Taken a few months ago... with my old kilay!! LOL! I finally turned girly girl and shaped my eyebrows on my own... not just the regular taming you do, but to actually shape it! I touched up the arch on the top a little bit after seeing someone do it. I've always heard people say that you're not supposed to touch...

Mix well the butter/oil, parsley flakes and garlic salt. Place the...

I should be doing laundry and folding clothes but I'm in a procrastinating mood except for going online. Heh! I'm always like this on my days off... usually the first day. Hay. Change is in need. Promise. Tomorrow ... or by this weekend. Go to Bank of America to close your account. Grocery shopping! What's for lunch/dinner? Fold clothes and run a load...
