Topping the list…

I trust everybody’s Christmas was great? I’m still so busy. I actually haven’t finished wrapping my gifts yet. Yeah, it’s that bad.

So, I got a few gifts this Christmas and here are the best three. Why best three? Anyone who knows me knows that fashion is my vice, that  I like to sleep a lot and I drink a lot.

1. Total Pillow from my cousins. Super love this pillow. It’s like my security pillow whenever I’m at home. You can bend it into different shapes to support your back, neck, etc. The girls got this for the car because I mostly do the driving but I can’t seem to get it out of my room. Even MB loves this. He uses this whenever he watches TV.  And for me, who has aches and pains almost every single day, this is truly a life saver!

2. Clothes from my best friend, the wonderful Ms. A.  Special thanks goes out to Kuya R for picking these out from the land beyond beyond. Love the colors and super love the fabric!

3. KOR water bottle from this guy, who is just absolutely awesome! I drink a lot...of water, that is. My illness makes me thirsty all the time. I’ve been wanting a KOR water bottle for months now ever since I saw  Iron Man using it. Or maybe that was even before? Seeing Iron Man use it just made it more tempting. Anyway, it seems that every time I see this at bazaars, my budget wouldn’t permit me to get one so I literally screamed and jumped in my room when I opened the package this morning.  And in a color I love, nonetheless!

Aside from these three, I also received a wonderful news from one of my dearest friends. She’s getting married and I will be her official MUA. It’s been my dream to be a MUA to my friends on their special day ever since I started getting serious with makeup. She’s the first one to make this wish come true. Not only that, she asked me to help plan her wedding! Isn’t that great? That’s on my list too! Today is a truly wonderful day for me. I am very happy. I’ve been very down these past few days and today really made a difference. To end, let me share something with you from The Secret Scrolls that I also received today. I hope it brightens up your day too!

“It is possible to be happy and joyful most of the time. You just have to look at little children and see their natural joy. You may say that little children are free and don't have anything to worry about, but you are free too! You are free to choose worry or to choose joy, and whatever you choose will attract exactly that. Worry attracts more worry. Joy attracts more joy.”

May the joy be with you.

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? đŸ˜‚ So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
