New blog

Hello everyone !

Oh it's been months since my last update here. I am really not sure if anyone here anticipates for my new post. But anyhow, I wanna apologize for being so "MIA" .. I got tied with the baby,new house and the everyday life. The good news is that I have found a new hobby. It is not about beauty products or the latest trends. It is about "Gardening ".. Yes, Gardening !!! LOL.. You read it right :) If you are interested about gardening and also about herbal gardening, here is the link = http://thewannabegardenerwrites.blogspot.com/

I hope to see you all there..Sayonara for now :)

Japanese Nail Arts !

I was inspired by lollipop26 to take some pictures of Japanese press on nails I found at 100 yen store today and gave me the reason to update my blog...hehehe =)
Some of the press on nails are new designs for summer and cost ¥315 each. It is affordable and amazing for the price !


Here's the snap photos taken from my cellphone.








I can't remember the last time I used press on nails as I got hooked receiving Nail art in my favorite Nail Salon.But now that I'm a mommy to a 1 yr. old boy, my nails are always short and I'm getting frugal..so I would paint my own nails & find ways to decorate them.

My nails painted with The Face Shop's( Korean brand ) Neon Pink & Canmake ( Japanese brand )Nail glitter.Top coat I used is from Seche Vite.
I hope this manicure will stay for 1 week.I am loving this color:)

Now I am sure everyone of you knows the lovely Laura who is considered to be one of the most popular and respectable guru on Youtube.
I recently sent her a few stuffs from Japan and look what I found in my mailbox today !!!
She is so sweet to send me so many good cosmetics that can only be found in the UK. Here is what I received in the post today...


I am really digging everything that she sent me. I am so excited to try the Barry M lippies, the Gosh products which is Made in Denmark and a personal favorite of Laura. And I am very happy that she also gave me the Mememe lipgloss which actually glows in the dark when you open it because it has an inbuilt light and a cute little mirror.


Look at that !!! I've never own a lipgloss like this before in my entire life :)


And last but not the least :) She also included a very pretty necklace and the horse pendant is lovely because I think it'll give me much luck. I promise to wear it proudly and treasure it.


I am truly grateful by her sweetness.Thank you so much Laura :) Bless your heart and more power to everything that you do. I will always be here to support you and I hope you'd have a wonderful vacation here in Tokyo.
xoxo

I just hope the rashes won't leave any scar esp. on my face. Because I still have the rashes all over my body and my face.
Anyhow, I promise to be back here and start updating my blog again.For now I would like to share a recent photo of me (before I got the chicken pox )and my girl friend taken a week ago while we were in East wood Manila. Have a great start of the week y'all !!!
