  • Pre-Wedding Photo Shoot Look + Sneak Peek Pics

    I was gonna spell “look” with “lewk” but I realized I’m no longer a teen, hahaha! Yes, the engagement photo shoot was finally done, this, after it was delayed for two days because of bad weather. For this look, I used the following products: Base: MUFE Primer (Step 1, grey) MUFE Ultra HD foundation 120 Catrice… Continue reading

  • Makeup Haul and an Explanation on the #SYLOSUCKS Post

    Oh heeey girl, it’s me! I recently went to my happy place Mega Mall to buy several beauty items in preparation for my wedding. Now, before I start showing them off, a brief explanation about the last post: An ex-client of mine stiffed me, stole my work and published said content under a different author.… Continue reading

  • Because SYLOSUCKS

    Because SYLOSUCKS

    I’ll be interrupting today’s sunshiny content  to bring you this shit. Why? Because an old issue refuses to die. Stealing is not cool, guys. https://www.facebook.com/sylotechnology/reviews Continue reading

  • The Rings: They’re HERE!

    Oh, happy days! After waiting for what felt like forever, our engagement ring and wedding bands are here! But first, a little insight: I have nothing against traditions but personally, I find public proposals overrated. Of course, I’m also reclusive so maybe that’s the reason why I dislike the attention that a public proposal brings.… Continue reading

  • Souvenir Update: Wooden Musical Carousels!!!

    A few blogs ago, I mentioned my initial idea of giving away musical carousels for our wedding sponsors but they were so dang expensive we had no choice but to nix it. Well, well, well… it appears that I wasn’t looking hard enough! Despite settling on  aromatherapy sets for our sponsors, I continued to look… Continue reading

  • The Search for the Best Family Car Ends with…

    I wasn’t really into cars because I feel it’s not something I need for every day but I realize now that it’s probably the right time to reconsider my car-less lifestyle. The fiance and I decided to finally get one in anticipation of building a family. My parents are also older now so they need… Continue reading

  • The Rings: Getting a Second Wedding Band

    Ever thought of getting a second wedding band?:D While I have the wedding set of my dreams, an extra band can’t hurt! I had a lot of fun working with the fiance for our bespoke wedding rings and e-ring. But I realized that together, my set looks a little matchy-matchy for every day, plus, there are times… Continue reading

  • Review: Maybelline ColorSensational Mattes in Nude Nuance & Clay Crush

    I hate browns with a passion, I really do. But for fear of missing out, I picked a couple of brown lipsticks from Maybelline’s newest line of nude lippies! Even as a teen, I stayed away from brown lipsticks. This was way back in the late 90s when a brown lip was everything. The closest… Continue reading

  • Remembering My Friend, Doy

    Remembering My Friend, Doy

    I was checking out my “year in review” series just to see if I’ve missed a post (which I did, the 2010 review does not exist because it’s a black hole in my life that I’d rather not revisit). I decided to click the first one I wrote in 2007 (yes, I’ve been blogging for almost… Continue reading

  • Review: Origins Make a Difference Plus + Rejuvenating Treatment

    Aging suck so in an attempt to delay the inevitable, I use Origin’s Make a Difference Plus+ rejuvenating treatment! Before this, I was a fan of Clinique’s classic Dramatically Different+ face cream, the one with the new gel formula. I loved that moisturizer, to be honest (and at some point, I will start re-using it again)… Continue reading
