Lovely plants I longed for…

Posted on by

I was certainly amazed when I passed by on a plant and flower shop before going home. I could even see those attractive and beautiful flowering plants they’ve got from a far. Just as I thought when I am already in front of their shop, I couldn’t help myself but to stare at those lovely seasonal plants and you are absolutely right; I couldn’t just walked by it without going into the shop. You wouldn’t believe since they’ve got also some ornamental plant trees that are one of their best sellers. They told me that if I would like to order some, no need for me to pick it up at the store since they offer plant delivery as soon as they receive a purchase order from me. Sounds cool for me!

For the reason that I am very curious about those plants and how they grows perfectly, I asked the store keeper if they are the one who does the gardening stuff and everything just to keep its ideal form. She told me, they got huge greenhouse at their place and some people too who took care of them. I guess they’ve got the most efficient service because plenty of people are sending request just to purchase items from them. Maybe I will too, soon.

Good bye long hair… hello short hair :D

my suki – Filipino hairstylist

my new haircut
I just had my haircut today. I asked my husband if he don’t mine me having short hair since I had long hair forever. He said its fine with him. So, we drove to my Filipino hairstylist this afternoon and I just gave her simple instruction. I trusted her because she has been hairstyling my hair for years now. I just told her I want short hair and it has to be above the shoulder. She definitely read my mind because it came out they way I envisioned it to be. That’s one of the reasons why I come to her salon every time I want haircuts because I had a bad experienced with other salon (Vietnamese hairstylist). I told myself, I will never go to any other salon. I can’t believe that a hairstylist will be asking me how short I want my hair will be, and the worst thing was that she had to ask me every cut she did. I’m like, hello, I already showed you a picture of the hairstyle I want, you should know better than I do. It was really upsetting and disappointing. I left without giving her any tip. Anyway, I love my hairstylist (I call her ate – forgot her first name) and she owned the salon, so it was cool. We do a little chit-chat while she trims my hair. I feel comfortable and at home with her.

Makeup for everyday look

Posted on by

Even though I don’t put Make Up on my face, I do love seeing ladies with their simple but elegant neutral color makeup. Earlier, I was watched the Make Up Tutorials for the bridal natural makeup and I love it. If were to put some makeup, I would choose the neutral color that I can use for my everyday look. I need to read some Cosmetics Tips that way I will learn how to properly apply some makeup and of course learn about the makeup colors that will match my skin tone. You should watch the video above because I’m sure you will like it too. It seems like every makeup brushes has its function, very interesting.

Not so obvious

That is my recent photo. Actually, this was taken today at the beauty salon. I just had my haircut and I took a picture of myself. I think I look great in this picture. The lines on my forehead aren’t that visible. LOL! I can tell that I look so happy in this picture even though I shy away my smile, well, there’s a reason for that and I don’t want to give the detail because I want to keep it private. Anyway, I may not look like I need an anti-aging treatment in this photo, but believe me I really do. I’m only in my 30’s but sometimes when I look at myself in the mirror, I look like I’m getting old because of the few visible wrinkles on my forehead.

Time is getting tough these days and wrinkles may cause from many life issues. In other words STRESS. Having 2 demanding children and being a full-time mom and wife 24/7 can be difficult. Sometimes, I would have to ask my husband to give me half-a-day off from every thing, so I can enjoy my ME time. I go shopping and wander around the shopping mall or I go out to the ministry because It’s like a stress relief for me. I need something like that once in awhile.

Officially Fall/Autumn

Posted on by

Today is the first day of autumn where leaves start to fall. I’ve seen some friends sharing some photos from their neighborhood with lots of yellow, brown and read leaves falling all over the ground. It starts getting cold too and that’s probably why most of the people get sick. Like me, my sinusitis is dragging me down and my children have on and off cough and cold. I guess it’s about time for me to put out all our winter clothes because it’s going to be cold pretty soon!

I’m embarrassed to smile or laugh

I used to smile and show off my beautiful teeth but not anymore. I don’t have dentures but I don’t like to smile because of my visible missing teeth. I really want to see a General Dentist to have my teeth fix and gain back my confidence. 2 years ago, when my family and I went to the Philippines for a short vacation, I took advantage of the time and place by going to the dentists to have my cavity pulled out. I don’t have health insurance at that time to cover the expenses if I had it done here in the United States. It was cheaper in the Philippines. But since we didn’t have a lot of time to order my dentures, I came back here in the states with missing teeth. Until now I haven’t had my teeth fix yet.

I have my health insurance now and so I don’t have to worry about going the local dental office and have them check my teeth problem. My husband used to say that I have a beautiful smile and I don’t think I still do. I don’t like my teeth. I even mentioned it to my husband and he disagrees (he thinks I still have my beautiful smile, if I know, he just don’t want to hurt my feelings). I need to go to the dental office to see if they can fix my teeth problem or know if do they have to refer me to a Cosmetic Dentist or not. Until then, I have to deal with my incomplete teeth and embarrassing smile. Sighed~!

Appearance is their investment

Posted on by

I must say that majority of the celebrities these days around the globe are willing to undergo any type of cosmetic treatment just to be able to fit-in in the society and of course they want to look great and maintain their youthful appearance because that’s how they make their living. I’m sure, some of those celebrities who haven’t done any cosmetic surgeries are using anti-aging cream like veralyze. I’ve heard veralyze skincare product is wonderful for anti-aging and very effective for wrinkle treatment. I should try this product sometime soon because my wrinkles are starting to appear on my forehead. Ugh!

Acne picking cause scars

Posted on by

When I was a lot younger, I usually pick on my pimple and I don’t let the day go by without getting the pimple out which causes my acne scars now. I truly regret it and I really want to know how to treat acne scars. I have one big scar on my forehead and it’s ugly. I tried to get immune to it every time I looked at the mirror. I thought why I would let this scar sit on my forehead when there’s hope of treating the scars. I’m not quite sure though if the old scars can be treated still.

Crying baby!

Posted on by

Every time my daughter whines it makes me want to hide and go someplace else. Sometimes I can’t imagine myself ignoring my daughter’s cries because it breaks my heart but I need to get over it and try not to let it bother me. Other times, I feel like I’m inadequate parent because I can’t figure out why she cries. I don’t even know why she cries. I tried to console and fed her in hopes of making her settle down but it’s not working sometimes. Like for instance, right at this moment while I’m writing this article, she’s right in front of me throwing some tantrums. I’m pretending to be OK right now but I feel like I am so vulnerable and ready to burst out. If she’ll keep on doing this each day I’m sure my wrinkles will be multiplied. If only her tears turns into an anti wrinkle lotion, I don’t mind her crying at all. As a matter of fact, I will be the one to provoke her to whine and cry. LOL. Nah, I’m just kidding aside!

Pimple scar

Posted on by

You and I can unquestionably tell whether a person suffered from relentless acne problem during their teenage years or not. And that is by simply looking at their facial skin. If they’re in their 30’s and above and you see their faces with lots of pimple scar no doubt about it, they probably went through a shameful teenage years. Base on my experience, I suffered from acne problem. My acne wasn’t a lot but whenever I have one, two or three. I’m telling you, they are so embarrassing because they usually grow right on my nose and they’re huge and reddish in color. I hated it because they were so visible and I got tired of it. Sometimes I get to the point where I poke it with needle. Ouch! And that’s how scar my face. I totally regret it because I can still see the scars even up to this day.
