Polka love.

This is going to be a really quick post. Hihi. I just want to share what I bought from a Japanese/Korean thrift shop or for Filipinos “ukay-ukay” in Bicol last December. I really love the shop since the price is really cheap and you can find unique and quality items.

This is one of the blouse I bought which only costs 80 pesos! 

A see through polka sheer top! Cute right?

Something Borrowed <3

Okay. So I’m back. I’ve really been busy these days and today I can say this is my free day. Hihi. Anyways, I recently watched the movie Something Borrowed (2011), and I really loved it! I’m still having a movie hangover until now. 

The movie is based on the book Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. This movie will teach you a lot about friendship, love, and taking chances. Gaaah. I want to fall in love after watching this movie. Haha. Though some says that the movie wasn’t good compared to the book, I really loved the movie! Hihi! The soundtrack is also great and I’ve been repeating the songs on my playlist. 

It’s really a good movie to watch, and I’ll definitely recommend this. It’s a good movie to watch this coming Valentine’s Day! :))

Busy month.

How are you guys doing? This month has really been very busy for me. The fact that I’ll be graduating more or less 2 months from now (hopefully), doing thesis and other school stuffs. Oh, the life of a graduating college student. 

I’ll try to post some reviews soon, if I can find my spare time. More or less, I’ll just post about what is happening in my busy life nowadays. Hihi. 

Anyways, I just wanna share my Dreamboard page in my Belle de Jour 2012 planner. :)

Yaaaay ~

(My advice for myself and for all of you guys this year: Positive thinking and time management is the key to accomplish a task.)

Impromptu photoshoot. :D

Impromptu shoot with our dog Winter! Haha! What a great day to start the new year. Hihi.

LOL. Bad hair day. Haha. :)

Nature Republic: Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Review :D

Happy New Year guys! Since it’s the first day of 2012, I’m going to post a product which works wonders. :)

Nature Republic’s Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel. This 300 ml gel, comes in a BIG tub.

Launched July 2009, 
this GEL made about 30 times of sold-outs in a year, and also sold about 1.50 million.
It is the MILLION SELLER COSMETICS in Korea! Stimulated by the sun, the aloe vera relaxes your all reddish and dried face, arm, leg, and whole body.It also gives good moist and it is also rich in vitamin. Especially it is approved by CCOF(California Certified Organic Farmers) which has real 90% of the aloe. Fresh taste and fast absorption. It gives no sticky face but relaxed. -Source

It contains 92% aloe leaf extract which is really good for dry skin and treating burns and scars. What I like about the product is that it doesn’t contain paraben, it is mineral oil free, and artificial colors free.

The clear gel is really soothing, relaxing and moisturizing. 

It costs Php220 which is really affordable for a product like this. :)) I’ve been using this and I think it’s really effective! I put it on the dry areas of my skin, even in my armpit, (LOL) and I’ve seen improvement, like my armpit got smoother. :D

Here are some ways on how you can use this Aloe gel:

Happy New Year! :D

Let’s welcome 2012 with a bang! Happy New Year guys. Let’s all be safe in welcoming this year. May the year 2012 be wonderful, blessed, and a prosperous one!

My “Belle de Jour Power Planner” ♥

Yay! I’m so excited to use my Belle de Jour Power Planner for 2012. It’s the Christmas gift I received from my sis. I’ve been eyeing on this planner in the past years but I couldn’t afford to buy it since I really don’t have enough money. Hihi.

This planner also includes discount coupons! Hooray for a budget shopper like me. :)

This is the first page of the planner. It will keep you inspired the whole year. :)

I’m now a certified Belle de Jour girl. Hihi. I also registered online for the Belle de Jour card.

I’m back!

Yay! I’m back from my 5 day Christmas vacation with my family. :) How are you guys doing? 

I will be posting a good post soon since I’ll be busy again doing school paper works and of course our thesis.

Hope you’ll keep in touch with me and visit again. Toodles! :)

Give love this Christmas Day. PRAY, Donate!

Typhoon Sendong really had affected the Philippines recently especially in the southern part of the country. Lots of lives were taken away, lots of families lost their shelter. Christmas is coming, and I feel really sad because they won’t be able to celebrate Christmas with their loved ones lost and no trace of a good shelter. 

See Typhoon Sendong Aftermath for more photos.

We Filipinos could help by donating food, clothes, milk, cash and the like. Just search on how to donate and help them. There are posts in Facebook informing us on how we can donate those things. I will also ask help from our friends outside the country to do the same thing. You can donate via UNICEF, Red Cross and other agencies.

Or the most simple but really effective way is to grab your phone and follow this:

For Globe subscribers:
via SMS, c/o Red Cross – text RED <amount> and send to 2899 – valid donation amounts are P5, 25, 50, 100, 300, 500 and 1000 (For ex, RED 10). Transaction is free.
via GCASH, text DONATE<space><amount><space><MPIN><space><REDCROSS> and send to 2882

For Smart subscribers:
via SMS, c/o Red Cross – text RED <amount> and send to 4143 – valid donation amounts are P10, 25, 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000 (For ex, RED 10). 

I hope this would help our ‘kababayans’ who were affected by the typhoon. Of course, the most important thing to do to help is to PRAY, and ask for His guidance.

Happy Holidays!

Since I will not be posting this vacation, (but i’ll try. hihi) I made this using MS Paint out of boredom. Adobe Photoshop is not yet installed here in my laptop so MS Paint is really handy, though my skills in creating stuffs like this are not great. LOL.

Anyways, Christmas is near! Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas to all of you! Also, advanced happy new year! See you again guys. :D

Nature Republic: Petit Cherry Rouge review

Nature Republic’s Petit Cherry Rouge <3

I bought the shade in G06, Glossy Red Orange since I’m looking for a natural looking shade in which I think complements my skin. Hihi. And of course, it’s glossy! I like everything sparkly and glittery.  The Petit Cherry Rouge line comes in 4 variants. G for Glossy, H - High Color, M- Moisture and C- Creamy which is indicated at the top of the box as seen in the picture above.

Look how petite it is. Really complements the name of the product. So cute!

The shade is just right, not that light and not that dark. Perfect for those who wants a natural healthy looking lips. 

This doesn’t dry my lips which I really like. The ingredients are all natural? Maybe. Since the brand is Nature Republic. Hihi. The only thing I don’t like about this is, it’s not that long lasting. 

It costs Php 220. Cheap right? For a quality lipstick like this. I think I will buy the other shades in the future since I’m really lovin’ this lippie. :D

This could be also a perfect gift this Christmas for your girlfriends and loved ones. :D

Etude House: Silk Scarf Hair Treatment Review

Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment.

According to the description at the back cover, it is specially formulated with oil complex and floral scent. It restores and reinforces brittle and damaged hair, preventing future breakage and leaving hair extraordinarily strong, soft, silky, and manageable.

I’ve been using this for months and I try to use it twice a week. But I’m such a lazy gal that I only use it twice a month. Haha. Anyways, I’m not really impressed with this treatment compared to the Silky Perfumed treatment that was included in the Bubble Hair Coloring. It does make my hair soft, shiny, and manageable, but it doesn’t last long. Also it’s a bit pricey (Php 348) compared to other hair treatments. 

What I like about this product is its cute packaging and I really love its smell. I can just put my hair into my face and smell it. LOL.
