egyptian magic cream

Hello, everyone!

Today, I am sharing with you a product. 

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream 

 195.00 Php for 5 ml

Watsons

I am currently having continuous breakouts because of stress, hormonal imbalance and a hell lot of other stuffs going on >_< I'm becoming desperate to get rid of all these blemishes. 

I first heard of this product from Bubzbeauty in her review here.

 At that time, I just ignored it. But once I learned that it's now locally available, I immediately bought one. 

 Ingredients: Olive oil, Beeswax, Honey, Bee Polen, Royal Jelly and Propolis Extract

I am hoping that this will be a great help to make my face blemish-free again. 

Cross fingers! I will be posting next week again about this. Maybe by that time, my face has gotten better :D

Any of you tried this? 

P.S. New header and sig, yay! :D

Good morning, dolls! 

How was your Valentine's Day?
I'm sorry I wasn't able to greet y'all.

This is a very short tutorial you can do for your special someone.

I know this is late.. but you don't stop loving after Valentine's Day, right? :D

 -- ♥♥♥ --

Remember the first time you and your sweetheart first met? Bring back the memories with these brilliant idea!

  

1. Go to Google Map and search the place where it all began. Some place near it will do :D
2. Print Screen it, copy to a picture editor and then go crazy designing! 
You can also mention stuff that may have been significant that time. 
3. You can print it and give it to him/her as a card, or maybe simply frame it! 

Have fun! :)
** In my case, we first met at class, thus the place ;P

 -- ♥♥♥ --

 I made this for our online shop. 

 Just sharing :D

sto. niño // costumes

A peaceful Sunday to all you grand dolls!

 Here is the part two of my Sto. Niño post.

In this post, I'll be showing you the costumes of the dance troupes :)

They were all so colorful and lively.

These two kids are so adorable! They're twins and yes, those are their natural, very curly hair. They were very passionate in copying the dance steps. So cute! :D

Meet Mudra! Hihihi, she's really energetic and happy every time we go to this event.

 

I took a stolen shot from these Uling Boys because whenever they see that they're being photographed, they'd run towards the person holding the cam. Big NO. I don't wanna go home looking like we played in a puddle of black oil!

Lastly, we saw this friendly queer. He was so sweet to offer taking a picture with Mudra.
He was wearing this green contact lenses that looked good on him :D Share lang.

That's it! I must admit, this year ain't as lively and vigorous as the previous ones.
But I still felt the enthusiasm of the devotees. :3

sto. niño // floats

Good morning, everyone!

This is a long overdue post. Sorry :D

Picture Overload ahead, too.

Ever since I was a baby, Mudra used to take me to the Sto. Niño parade.
The procession happens every last Sunday of January starting from the World Trade Center compound up to Rizal Park.

Hundreds of devotees dressed up and arranged their Baby Jesus images. 

 

Creative floats of the Sto. Niño are highlighted.

Look at that! They're very creative, actually.

 

There were 175 floats. And there were even some numbers with "sub-floats" (See that orange float? 68-C, there was a 68-A and B)

And for other floats, there were like 10 images. So many baby Sto. Niños! :D

 

Sorry, I was only using my HTC so the pictures are slightly blurred. The lights on the left float were actually small carousels, they were just so cute. Too bad the picture didn't do much justice :(

 

And that is the float of Our Lady of Manaoag. She's the final float to go.

I always look forward to seeing her, every year.

Well, I hope I didn't bore you that much!

I'll be posting costumes of dance troupes, soon :D

closet treasures // necklaces

Hello, fabulous dolls!

See that pile of tangled necklaces above? 

Those are all from Mudra (Mother)'s closet.

And that's not all of them.
I remember how she just put them on shoe boxes because there are so many of them.

Apparently, when Father was still working in Nigeria, he got wild buying jewelry for Mom.

I can only find one shoebox, I believe some are with my sister in SG, and some I've been using and the others... Well, we really don't know :D

Anyway, I have "excavated" these necklaces one night in search for a good accessory to pair with my outfit. I've learned that all these are real precious stones.

Well, me and my Mom are no jewelry experts but she informed me that when I press the stones on my forehead, and they feel cold, then they're real. 

Honestly, I don't know if it's true or Mudra just made that up. 

What I really care about is how pretty they all were. Such variety of colors, styles, beading... Oh I can go on blabbering, you know.

And I feel so bad showing them like these, so I've decided to make a series of posts featuring each of them. Yeps, I'd be categorizing them and be sharing them with you.

I hope you'll like these babies as much as I do!

(Woah, long post @_@)

nailed with love || valentines nail art

Hello everyone!

 Here is another nail blog post for you.

Love month has officially started and Valentine's Day is near so I decided

that I want something Valentine-y on my nails :D

I don't think the darker pink looked anything close to a heart. 

They were supposed to be hearts outlined with white dots!

 Bobbie Nail Hardener || Caronia Carolina Peach || Caronia Summer Fling

Sassy White Satin || Caronia Fast-Dry Top Coat

It's not obvious in the pictures but actually, I combined Carolina Peach with White Satin so there are very slightly visible white streaks :) I tried my best to draw a heart shape at

the nail tips and then outlined it with small white dots.

This is my first time to do an actual nail art with dotting and drawing blah blah.

Please be gentle with the comments :D
