I just had to say something about this new lipstick that I got from my mom. It really is just a gorgeous color and what's more is that I got it for free! This is the first Mary Kay product I've ever tried and I'm really happy with it.

I finally gave in! lol... I'm really bad with doing my nails because I'm so used to getting them done at my favorite Spa. In case you're wondering it's the "CK Spa" located at the ground floor of Diplomat Hotel in Ramos, Cebu City. I love it there because I always fall asleep in their lazy boy chairs while they are doing my nails, which is really comfortable and relaxing.

I really made an effort in learning how to groom my nails, because I realized that I can save more if I do it myself. Plus, it's fun to do.

The last time my hubby and I had some alone time together was last Valentines.  So, we decided to go on a dinner date again, which we haven't had for a while.  "Blue Elephant" serves Thai cuisine and they are located at the ground level of The Walk, AsiaTown IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City.

Okay, so I finally had time to make this post. It was my son's 3rd Birthday last March 19 and we just had a quick lunch at Bigby's here in Cebu (Ayala Center Branch).  I still had to work at 2pm that day, and my husband also had classes that day (LAW).

I felt really bad about not throwing him a birthday party, but it was more practical at the moment.  However, we celebrated his birthday again on the 20th together with the whole family. My mom cooked spaghetti, fruit salad, and many more. My older brother brought him cake and a new remote controlled toy car. My hubby and I got him a big 3-wheel kiddie motorcycle to ride on. He was so happy riding that thing, he wouldn't stop...LOL


 

I had a bonding moment with my younger sister (17) last Sunday.  I painted her nails and prettyfied her...lol

I just found out that they were going to our cousin's graduation party. So I insisted on putting a little makeup on her. She is not the "kikay" type at all and doesn't even know how to put some makeup on...hahaha

I finished her makeup in such a short time, because I wanted a really young, fresh and natural look for her.  All I did was made her wash her face so that it would be clean when I start putting on some makeup.



Those are the only products I used on her. I didn't use any foundation or concealer and I also skipped putting on any eyeshadow, it looks more natural that way.





I'm so happy to share with everyone that I recently received my second blogger award!

I would like to thank Janah from Maricarl-Janah for giving me this award. I was surprised that she gave me this award. And what's even more exciting is that she's a fellow Cebuana. I'm so psyched, coz there's only a handful of Cebuana beauty bloggers. Enough with the ramble...hehe

5 - I've sang several times in front of a big crowd, back when I as working for Converse Phils. during our Pre-Booking events with dealers. But that doesn't make me a singer. I just have a well modulated voice...hahaha

After months of waiting, my ELF orders finally made it here. Whew! It took so long that I almost forgot about them.  I ordered these at the official ELF website, however they don't ship worldwide so I had to send my orders to my brother's sister in-law in the US.  I ordered this stuff last December and shipment was delayed for a long time because of the holidays.

The package was finally delivered to the US address around the last week of December.  Too bad though, the person who was supposed to hand carry this already left for Phils. So, I had to wait again and this time it won't be hand-carried, it had to be shipped.  I'm just glad that these arrived safely. hehe

Without further adieu here they are!

You're probably wondering where I got the Elf Studio Stipple Brush and Elf Mineral Eye Primer (not available locally), I ordered those from the Elf Website last December and shipped it to a friend in the US since they don't ship world wide. My Elf loot just arrived last week. (pictures will be shown on next post)


Good luck everyone!

Cheerios!
