Stress Drillon

Seriously, I can't wait for they year to be over.

This last couple of months have been the most stressful for me.

Mostly due to work and I'm not happy that it gets to me at home.

Do I need a change? Yes.

I get sick all the time and I hate it, it doesn't make me productive at all. Even if I'm home sick, I can't play or interact with my kids all the more.

Is this really the deciding point for me or should I just see what 2012 will bring and maybe things will change for the better?

I hope so.

OMG post: Super Transformations

Make-up, specifically concealers and eyeliners do wonders!

They can change the way you look in an instant.

I recently came across Korean make-up techniques online and as I researched more into the topic, I was so surprised to see several forums of transformations either through make-up or via plastic surgery of VERY young girls!

Some were already pretty to begin with.

Here are some photos I grabbed from google:

Super pretty girl!

As per the forum, she's a Korean star

But what did she look like before???

I really can't believe this is her!

Amazing! I doubt if this is just make-up

The Look For Less: Olivia's Zara Bag

It's definitely not the price tag.

No matter how expensive your bag is, if you don't carry it well, it won't really matter at all.

Nothing against luxury branded goods. Love them, wish we all had them, right?

But sometimes we just need to scrimp a little.

But that doesn't mean we won't get what we want right?

For some time now, I've been tracking down Ms. Palermo's (Olivia) style.

I love that she can go from uber high fashion to downtown casual chic.

Zara Plaited Shopper approx 5-6k php

And because I didn't want to fork over 5 grand, I look for an inspired alternative:

Available at Oohwables & Co. in 7-10 days!

Get the bag for only Php2,190 and with free shipping courtesy of multiply!

I obviously have 1 out of the 3 units I ordered heehee

Yes, this is a shameless plug (hehe) but you need to share fashion finds, and this is the best of both.

Cheers!

Tipping Point

I was able to read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and indeed, little things can make a BIG difference.

It comes to a point that you get confused about decisions and so you weigh the pros and cons.

When the scale is balanced, that's where the real dilemma starts because you'd rather have the easier decision which is to choose what weighs more.

Comfort or Risk?

In life there are so many decisions and some say that only a few of those will be the correct ones.

I beg to disagree.

The decisions you make in your life become correct only if you make it happen that way. That's why there is free will, God didn't give us that so we can fail, He gave that to us so we can succeed.

Free will basically allows us to correct our decisions as we go, the path never ends unless you decide otherwise.

I'm happy with the decision I'm making now.

It's time and He has given me all the signs to go through with it.

Cheers.

Here are my current shoe obsessions: I'm loving METALLIC and I want at least one two of these.


Maybe I should tell the hubby to get me a pair for Christmas. Haven't told him exactly what my wish list is.

Wellness Post: Running and Yoga

After the very horrific VEET Experience, I'm still slightly annoyed with the slight scars on my upper lip.

Hopefully no more pinkish or light brown spots.

Serious lesson learned: NEVER WAX UPPER LIP and stick to threading

Anyway, I'm looking into a more positive way of life (LOL).

I want my flat tummy back.

I want the body pains to go away.

I want to loose 5-10 pounds.

So I'mm looking to do the following things:

1. RUN - run with the hubby in the evenings.
2. YOGA - I have 2 options:

Bought this for Php1,400+ in Rockwell
(forgot the shop but they sell fitness equipment)

A. Do the basics at home, as I just recently bought a Reebok basic mat and downloaded Core Yoga which is looks like the SIMS game in terms of the instructor but very easy to follow. I love how easy it is.

B. Sign up with the nearest studio here in BF, there's a 2pm class every Saturday and a 6am class which I can fit in so long as I'm ready to leave for work by 8am. :)

Hopefully I can get this going soon! :)

Cheers!

BEATEN UP BY VEET

READ: NEVER USE THIS PRODUCT EVER!!!

Lesson learned: Always research on ANY product, specifically cosmetics, for user feedback and experience online.

I used a different wax strip brand before but I couldn't find it so I settled for this, thinking its a well known brand, it should work fine.
