Wedding Shoes

For those of you who don't know, we are planning on a church wedding in the Philippines sometime soon. So, i have been thinking and planning on little things such as shoes, wedding gown, motiff, etc etc. As for shoes, i know, i can dream on this but it's pricey!

Jimmy Choo - this would make a statement during the wedding ceremony!

Christian Louboutin-i think this is lovely on pre-nup pictorials! (red soles baby!)

If it means breaking my piggy bank, then so be it. I would love to wear this shoes on my wedding. I have been eyeing on these for a while and i think i need this in my life. hahaha! (not really)

BH Cosmetics

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of BH Cosmetics. All opinions are 100% mine.

This is not the first time that i heard about BH Cosmetics most especially their eyeshadow. I saw reviews and videos about it a few times in youtube. Being a makeup junkie, this brand is not new to me.

I am such a makeup lover. It started right before i gave birth to my baby...Say, 3 years ago. I was into makeup before that but not as crazy as now. I watched you tube videos, tutorials, reviews and i read blogs. I basically buy based on what i hear or read. I never thought this beauty community ever existed. But i feel like this is the only place i can share my passion for makeup and beauty in general.

I can say that i am a pretty neutral person. I do neutral looks. I feel like i can't pull off a look in colors. So, i stay in the browns, taupes and the like. BH Cosmetics eyeshadows is highly pigmented and blendable with strong staying power. Their palettes be it matte or shimmer are nice to haves if you are on a budget, new into makeup or even to have it in your collection.

I am most interested with the 28 Colors Neutral Eyeshadow or i can grab the 88 Colors Neutral Palette. I am most certain that this is the only palette you need for a neutral kind of makeup girl.

BH Cosmetics have combined the best neutral shadows. They also have color palettes or you can choose being matte or shimmer. It's really a personal choice and taste. Personally, i am going for the neutral palette as i get most use out of it.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent our Labor Day Weekend at the White Post Farms in Melville, NY. It is in Long Island and we are not far from the place. Perfect timing because my daughter's favorite character will be there. My daughter got to meet both Kai-Lan and Diego. The general admission includes everything like looking around the farm animals, hay ride and the dry bouncer (the my daughter absolute love)

Here are some pictures of us :)

Weekend Away with Friends

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

We just started taking short weekend get-away with friends. We have been driving to couple of places and staying in nice hotels yet affordable to our pockets. Me, hubby and my daughter went to New Jersey for a party and decided to stay over in a hotel. I think it is a good idea staying overnight rather than driving home late at night and end up in traffic and very tired.

I can say that we have enjoyed this summer more than any other past summers ago. It is very nice to bond with family and friends once in a while. We get to talk about anything and catch up everybody's lives. Just this weekend we went to Atlantic City and made a side trip to Baltimore. We ate two dozens of crabs and walk along their inner harbor. It is pretty nice and relaxing!

We have stayed to couple of hotels but like staying to any Hampton hotels. The cool thing is you also get a chance to win free weekend stay. The grand prize is entire hotel for a weekend that means you get to stay in over 100 rooms for 2 nights..WOW! The 100 first prizes weekend stays given away daily to the winner and three other friends. Another BIG WOW! This is a summer Hampton great way to reconnect with friends. No purchase is necessary.

Soak n Sun

We went to Robert Moses beach last Saturday. It was a gorgeous day to be at the beach. We laid out, eat, play the sand, and most of all enjoyed playing with the waves. It was actually my baby's first time to play in the waters. It was a nice 'mini' outing for us.

Lake George Getaway

Spent our summer weekend getaway at Lake George, New York. We stayed at DEPEDENE family resort. It was a very fun weekend filled with laughters and lots of foods and drinks.

Good Webhosting :)

Blogging could be simple yet time consuming. But if you think blogging as a hobby and an outlet for your feelings and way of expressing your input about something, then it could be as easy as you think. There are times that i have the kick to write, and other times i have zero inspiration at all. I have all started using blogger and i have been thinking of getting my own webhosting. I have seen a lot of webhosting hub. I referred it to my friend who has better experience with blogging. She told me to just keep it as is for now. My blog is not as popular as others. Maybe one day i will need to get a webhost for this blog. Let's see. For now it doesn't matter yet.

I have been looking forward to a couple of activities before the summer ends. And i can't wait to blog about it. I am making the most of the remaining hot days. I can feel the breeze of fall air.

I will try to be writing as much. This is also a way for me to document what has been happening to my life. Tell me what your summer experience has been. See you in my next blog.

I need this in my life

I am aware that i have a collection of Louis Vuitton bags. But i guess girls can never have enough bags in their collection, right? I have been going outdoors lately, like going to the beach, lake and like casual activities. I have a feeling that my LV's are not appropriate to carry in these activities. So, i am contemplating in getting this baby :) I need this in my life in navy color.

Sesame Place

We drove a good 2 hours to visit Sesame Place. It's a happy place for kids and parents as well. They have both water rides and dry rides. We purchased a 2-day ticket coz the price for 1day and 2-days are the same. We are planning to go back sometime next month. Here are a few photos...

What's for Lunch

I have been loving philly sushi. I asked hubby one time to pick up some for me and this is what i got!!!

White Tops

I have been into white tees or blouses lately. It is summer and i think white is very IN during summer. I usually pair it with jean shorts or boyshorts. I am so into the v-neck and oversized tees. They are so in and i happen to love them. So can always spot me with white tees and you think i have been wearing the same tee..Wrong! I have tons of 'em from different brands. lol!

Tell me what's your summer style?

Are you Ready for the next season?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

Summer is very well here. Some people are so over with this heat wave going on. Few people are even looking forward for fall and winter to come...oh well, we can never get satisfaction.

Let's talk about the coming cold weather. Do you ever have a jacket that you can use all year round? Specifically wool jacket. When you think about wool, you can easily picture out a very heavy, itchy jacket. That's what we have all been thinking about wool. Not anymore...There are many wool jacket out there that offer a very light weight and comfortable enough that you can wear all year round.

The WINDSPUN technology that Ramblers Way garments undergo offers that smoothest, most luxurious wool yarn in the market. This is what i am talking about. They offer an ultra-light wool garments that will keep you warm but also make you breathe naturally, resulting in a year-round product.

Ramblers way started with a desire to re-imagine wool as next-to-skin, superfine fabric, to warm and comfort people of all ages and walks of life.

The best part about this is that ramblers way garments are all natural and chemical-free and American made.

Also they offer a wide range of clothing made of wool, not only jackets. Now, get yours before the cold weather comes its way. Maybe buy your grand mother because you know how they get really cold in the winter.

I am very impress with the this creativity in what wool can do.

MAC Cosmetics: In the Groove

I can't be happier when this black box is waiting in my doorstep.

I was really paying attention as to when this collection will come out online. I am after with the overhyped mineralize skinfinish in Stereo Rose and Jazzed lipstick. And of course, i ordered some more to avail of the free shipping. I didn't regret getting these items at all. I think Stereo Rose deserves the hype and all.

Legendary, pink/coral MSF. No chunkiness, just good pigment and a sheen. It adds a nice natural flushed look...My must have would be Jazzed. It's an affordable shot of summer for us all and the formula is beautiful.

What did you get out from this collection?

MAC to the BEACH Collection

For this first time ever, i was invited to a sneak peak of a MAC Cosmetics to the beach collection launching. I have been a MAC costumer but never been invited to anything ever.

Philly Cheesesteak

On Mother's day, we went to Philly to check out the infamous philly cheesesteak of Pat's and Geno's...I tasted both and i have to say, i love Geno's better. The meat and the cheese is so delish...I also have to say, they are racist. You will know why in the photo below.

This is what i am talking about being racist...:)

WAR OF THE GLADIATORS

I was flipping at the Instyle Magazine at my nail appointment and saw this Cynthia Vincent for Target wedges...I've got to have it...It was featured on Instyle Magazine. Cynthia Vincent is famous of her shoe collection to be expensive. And for her to launch a collection to target is a chance i can't miss! So i hush myself to Target and found the last pair, and it was my SIZE! Lucky enough?! Then i went to century 21 to buy some goodies for my mom...and viola, found a pair of Sam Edelman's gladiator shoes. I got it on CLEARANCE! From $89, i paid $39.97! I am so ready for summer. I am the HAPPIEST...

WHO WEARS IT BEST!

In my recent trip to FOREVER21 i saw this mannequin wearing a cute prom dress. Wearing a puffy sleeves top underneath, definitely makes it wearable. So, i went to the fitting room to try it on.

Now tell me, who wears it best?

CHIC RINGS

Tell me that i don't need these babies...I passed by Swarovski last week on my trip to the mall. I can't let myself not take a closer look and try it on. They are the infamous CHIC RING. It comes in red, pink, blue, mocca, and another color selection. The one that stood the most to me is the mocca chic ring. But hubby insisted that it is not worth buying.

Please tell me the same so i will stop by craving..lol!

BEFORE I WAS A MOM

I read this poem some time ago and i remember it right now..Perfect time, i'd like to share it to all the Moms out there.

Before I was a Mom;
I made and ate hot meals,
I had unstained clothing,
I brushed my hair every day,
I had quiet conversations on the phone,
I slept as late as I wanted and I slept all night long.

Before I was a Mom;
I cleaned my house each day,
I never tripped over toys or forgot lullabies,
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous,
I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on, chewed on, peed on, or
pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom;
I never thought about immunizations,
I never held a screaming child so the doctors could give shots,
I never looked into teary eyes and cried,
I never felt my heart break into pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt,
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

Before I was a Mom;
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down,
I never sat up late hours of the night watching a baby sleep,
I never got up in the middle of the night to make sure everything was okay,
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

Before I was a Mom;
I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts and my body,
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body,
I didn't know that having something so small could make me feel so
important,
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a mom.

Before I was a Mom;
I never knew that something so small could effect my life so much,
I never knew that I could love someone so much,
I never knew I would love being a Mom,
I didn't know the bond between a Mother and her child,
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much.

SUNNIES, SUNGLASSES, SHADES

I have been on a hunt of new sunnies...I tend to do that every spring time. As much as i love my other sunnies, i still want something new to rock in the coming sunny days and to look glamorous in pictures!

My newest addition Rayban Aviator Style. It comes in every color combination. Mine is Gold and Brown i believe.

By the way

#1 I LOVE IT

#2 It is Classic

#3 It's not as expensive as the ones i own

You think i can pull this look and rock it?
