Happy Halloween!!! This is a year where my kids and I never got the chance to go trick or treating only because we had so much plans to do instead of trick or treating like they did last year.. Hubby and I have both been super busy at work and on our rest day we give to our kids what they want and they have been asking for the beach so off we went ♥ While other kids were at the mall for Halloween party my kids were at the beach swimming the entire day lol! I prepared a costume for them, it's just that mas gusto lang nila talaga sa beach siguro.

Anyway, Happy November guys! Kids and Hubby brought me to work today, yup I sadly had to work but it's ok cause Hubby and the Kids spent time together.  After they dropped me off, Hubby took them to Jollibee for breakfast ♥ Yup.. no nanny and the hubby never feels like cooking in the morning from the beginning of time so off they went to Jollibee ♥ They complete me ♥ I love Shams, Missha & Laico ♥ ♥ ♥

Lollipop Costume Update ♥

Do you remember my previous post about the Lollipop Costume / Props that my daughter's teacher asked me to make for my child's Family Day presentation on November 15? Well I finally had the chance to start making it and here's a preview of my DIY Lollipop Props ♥

Before I post the picture the materials I used were: 1/8 Illustration Board, Glue, Crepe Paper in Different colors, styropor and glitter glue ♥  Also bought ribbons as well for design.

I was informed that other parents just drew on the Illustration board, mine is a little diffrent I fist made a lollipop using styropor  and then glued pieces of the crepe paper together. After that I used a cutter and cut out the lollipop from the square styropor and glued it to the white part of the 1/8 Illustration boad.

Placed a cute out stryopor heart in the middle and used ribbons ♥  I am actually not done with it I have so much more to do on this project.. this is just a preview hehehe... been very busy at work lately so I guess I'll finish this project on the weekend (on my restday)...

Sophie Paris

I know someone who sells Sophie Paris items.  I actually saw the catalog before and ordered a black bag which I like so much ♥ It was P 890.00 and came with a free pouch.  The pouch I use for my make up.  I also ordered a sling wallet for P690.00 and I sooo love it cause it had plenty room for cards and had pockets for mobile phones which I use when I go to the grocery or the mall and don't feel like bringing a huge bag. This is the black bag I bought.. I have yet to take a photo of the sling wallet..

The bag is great.. the materials used and the size is just pefect! I use it for work and really I have received compliments ♥  Really nice. 

Well, I was browsing throught their Online Catalog and saw their make up collection.  Like I've mentioned in my previous post about make up - I am very picky with make up.  I don't buy it if it's too expensive.  Anyway, as I checked their online catalog I saw their Sophie Lipstick collection which was really inexpensive.. imagine at P85.00 per piece!

I was hesitant to order it at first and then I googled for reviews and saw swatches and awesome feedback about it.  Some started buying just one until they loved it and felt like they got a bang for their buck and ordered more... hmm.. right then and there I was convinced to try it.

I am happy and excited to tell you that I placed my order today for all 11 colors, however the dealer told me that only 7/11 colors are available.  I also ordered the Pink Magic Lipstick, Pink Magic Cream and the Attraction Perfume all for only P1080.00!!! I am excited cause my items will be delivered tomorrow! Can't wait to try them all!!

So wait for my review... if I like it.. I'll definitely order more as presents for my workmates ♥ and friends ♥ ♥ ♥

Awesome Quality ♥

When I was still living in the States I have been a MAC, Maybelline, Bobbi Brown, Revlon, L'Oreal, Nars, Benefit, Almay, Shiseido, etc.. cosmetic user. Of course when I was a single-career woman, I had extra funds to splurge on make up of any brand as long as I wanted the shade of the eyeshadow, lipstick, foundation,etc. I would say that majority of the vain women like me would agree that GOOD MAKE UP IS NOT CHEAP! Am I correct? After 6 years of marriage and two babies ♥ i now have to set priorities and ofcourse that's to ensure that I support my kids and family.  Before I spend my hard earned money in buying my luxury wants/wishlist.. I might as well pay the school first or buy my kids their necessities. As sad as it may sound.. make up  was always something that needed to be scratched off the list to give way to the priorities...

Until I one day while I was at the mall looking for an emergency concealer as a pimple just appeared on my face out of nowhere.. I discovered Ever Bilena. I must say that the foundation stick I bought in Beige was really great.. not too heavy on the face and worked also as a concealer cause it hid the blemishes and the  finish was super clean and nice. Not cakey and not shiny/oily.  Since then it has been my must have.

I actually also bought Matte Lipsticks before in Dusk and Skin.. I also have their Famous Lipstick in Espresso which is a deep brown color which I absolutely love.  I am a fan of Nudes, Dark Red, and Browns.  I love Matte Lipsticks cause the color's more vibrant and I am not a huge fan of super shiny lips. Since then i've had my Ever Bilena Favorites and I use it everyday depending on my mood.. hehe..

Lollipop Costume

Missha's teacher wrote on her journal a note for me to prepare a lollipop costume/props for my daughter for their presentation on November 15- their Family Day ♥ Being thehe doting mother + stage mother + self confessed DIY addict that I am .. I was at the mall on my lunch break getting the materials I need for this project! And yes... I am super excited to start making it.

The challenge however is that we have to use yarn and 1/8 size Illustration Board and it had to be a costume covering Missha's front and back tied by a yarn that should go around the neck... hmm...so the challenge was I had limited options to make it look nice..

I ended up buying 2 Illustration Boards, 2 styro boards, crepe papers in 4 different candy colors - bright yellow, bright pink, purple and bright blue ♥ also bought ribbons... start date of the project is the day after tomorrow - Sunday.. Once done I will post the work of art here ♥ ♥ ♥

I Need It In My Life!

Our nanny Jocelyn is now a dealer of Personal Collection.  I actually tried Personal Collection products before but I never really purchased more than two items until I showed my Yaya support and ordered different items from her .. i tried the White Dove Children's line before and loved it for my babies so I absolutely re-ordered it and I also ordered body sprays, lotion and Moisturizing Beauty Bars ♥ Yes... people cannot believe that I ordered soap because people know for a fact that I have always been a DOVE PINK or OLAY WHITE user for like a decade now... I was hesitant to try the soap at first but it just really smelled so good so I couldn't resist!

Okay.. for those who know me well I am a high maintenance woman, meaning MAARTE ako and somehow VAIN. So skin to me is a very big issue lol.. but I have to say that I was really impressed with Personal Collection's S'kin Moisturizing Bar.. it smells good and it truly moisturizes the skin.  I loved it instanly even on the first try!

First of all S'kin Moisturizing Beauty Bar Soap is the first Moisturizing beauty soap enriched with snail extract. It has this really unique bar shape for a more relaxing bath. The soap has Helix Aspersa Muller extract which is scientifically proven to help minimize skin aging.  The soap is packed by 100 grams per box and is P 70.00, a little pricey compared to the ordinary soaps in the market, but much cheaper than the beauty soaps you can buy at the mall.. the quality is amazing! Other soaps make you feel sticky after a few minutes of shower but this one is love love love.. you feel clean all day long and I forgot to mention that this is one hell of a beauty bar cause you smell clean after too... yup it fights body odors as well!

The funniest thing is I am liking this product so badly that it has become a part of my beauty regimen.. i must have it available everytime I take a bath.  I am actually on the 8th bar ♥ and I already made a deal with my yaya to order 10 bars for me every month ♥ ♥ ♥ Seriously, this is not a paid post or paid review this is me simply spreading the word that this soap is amazing! I am not sugar coating S'kin Soap I am really loving it and i am encouraging other laides and mommies out there to try it ♥ You might just love it the way i do...  

Our yaya did mention that a new Glutathione Soap will be available soon at P109.00 per bar... guess what I just ordered 3 bars for me to try! I am excited to be honest!!!! Go back to the title of the post... yess... I seriously need this in my life ♥ It really changed my shower experience hehe.

Career Talk

My dad once told me to succeed in your career you have to put your love and passion into it.. you have to love what you do... you have to love your job.  When loyalty, effort, passion, dedication, and everything is given because you put so much love into your work you feel thankful and blessed that you have a job and you enjoy coming to work everyday...

But sometimes there are unexpected things and situations that happen that you completely have no control of and all the words that came out has caused a great impact  and damage in your entire being and you suddenly end up loosing that passion and love... it's so depressing and you just feel so hurt deep inside.. you feel that your heart is cut open because you put so much of you into that job.....

So can someone tell me... is it really true that you have to love your job and give it your 100% irregardless of the fact that sometimes even your innocence is not honored.. ?? Is it really a must that you have to love your job and give it your whole without considering that this move may break you into pieces in the end ??

Can someone explain this to me??? Can someone enlighten me???
