Mommy Moments: song from a mom's heart

When Denise was still a newborn, i used to sing her the "barney song" and "i have two hands"...We even captured her first laugh out loud while i was singing and playing with her.

When we watch barney, she comes to me and will give me a hug and kiss...

I love you, you love me, we are happy family, with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you....

Essie The Art of Spring Collection

I spotted this cute little box at ulta last weekend.  The box comes with 4 mini nailpolishes from essie.  This is my first set from essie.  I find their nail polish to be sheer and mostly pastel colors.  I am hesitant at first but i wanted to try them.  


Shades include lilacism, pop art pink, nouvaeu red and tart deco.  These are lovely for spring ...

Mommy Moments: Valentine's Day

Our valentine's day started simply.  We went to church and then for a late lunch/dinner.  My hubby gave me a little treat.  My daughter and I made a heart craft work from her school.

fun in the snow

Out for a little bit to play in the snow....she loves cold and snow.PERIOD...lol!

Spring Colour 2 Forecast by MAC

Perfect colors for the upcoming spring and summer seasons.  MAC has launched yet another huge collection.  But i made a calmer decision on what to get from this collection.  I don't want to go crazy with the hype going on.  So, i went to the mall tonight to check the collection along with the new viva glam lipsticks.  I was almost tempted to buy it online before seeing it in person and trying it on.  I'm glad i didn't.  I ended up getting just 2 lipsticks out of the many.  And i was kind og BLAH with the viva glam lipsticks and even with the infamous viva glam gaga.


From this collection, i got Color Me Coral and Fresh Salmon lipsticks.


Color Me Coral is a light coral with some beige it.  Fresh Salmon is a medium salmon pink with a gold shimmer.  I like both lipsticks especially i tend to wear coral-peach lipsticks than most pinks.


I am so happy with what i got. Photos and Swatches below...What did you get out from this collection? I'd love to know.

my weightloss confessional

Do you have excess skin from all your weight loss?

Sadly, yes. I need tummy tuck in my midsection area. I will be visiting a plastic surgeon in my future. I have to. I have so much excess skin. I didn't think I would need to, but it's so obvious now that I do. For example, my stomach would be much flatter if the skin that occupies the area was removed. I have a certain weight in my head though before I will visit one because I want to make sure when I go - it's the right time. Not to mention how crazy expensive it will be  - I doubt my insurance will cover that. Something I will explore in the future.

I can’t blame my daughter because I got this flabby tummy when I got pregnant.  I blame myself for not taking care of myself while I was pregnant.  I ate a lot, like there will be no tomorrow.  I gained more than 50lbs over the course of my pregnancy.  That is silly!

The hard part was getting the weight out of the way.  I just recently got back in my pre-pregnancy weight.  I know it was hard of a deal.  But I did it.  The problem now is that, I can no longer wear bikini during the summer time.  I need to find a swimwear that could cover my mid-section area.

Did you ever have the same problem?  I'd love to hear how did you handle it.

helping a friend out

My friend started a small business.  I wanted to help her out.  She is selling Brand New Farouk Chi Ceramic Iron 1inch for a very cheap price.


It is guaranteed original.  Only $40- No Minimum. She has sold a few from ebay.  I think this iron is one of the best in the market.

Return Address

These past couple of days, I’ve been busy sending out mails and packages.  If you haven’t noticed, I did a makeup blog sale a week ago. So, I have been busy with putting the packages together to put in the mail. 

My daughter has a coming birthday and I have prepared the invitations to send out very soon.  But I have realized I don’t have return address labels I wanted to create my own label or return address but didn’t have the chance to design and all that stuffs.

I sent all the packages out from the makeup sale.  But for my daughter’s invitation, I have yet to finalize and stick my own label in the envelopes…

I have been busy with sending mails lately even at work.  Our w2’s are in and I need to send it out to our employees so it can get there on time.  Luckily, I have all the labels for work printed out.  Those mails will be out tomorrow for sure.

Do you have any mailing problems lately? Ohh, I was also out of stamps last week.  I can’t believe I lost track of my mailing supplies.  Life has been really hard to keep up with especially with a growing toddler, house chores and a life to take care.

Today

I woke up not feeling so great.  Last night i had a very upset stomach.  I made a few nasty trips to the bathroom.  Then decided that i was hungry and was munching on doritos chips while in bed watching youtube videos.  I am hoping my tummy will feel better today.  The snow is very pretty outside but i feel sorry for my hubby.  He will be tired before going to work from shoveling.


I will write more later. 


beauty and hope rise new each day like the sun...may hope shine on you like the sunniest day...and beauty sparkle


I hope today will be better than yesterday and full of hopes and love!  Typed with a not feeling well stomach:)




With love,
Debbie

Perfect Valentine's Gift

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

With the current competitive market right now, it is not so hard to choose which product or offer to grab.  I would like to specifically mention with wireless carriers.  When we first moved to our home last year, our wireless careless has low to no signal at home.  We switch to a different mobile carrier but paying high monthly bills.

Recently, my hubby and I have been searching for a cheap wireless carrier that has everything we need like free minutes, free txt, emails and picture messaging etc.  I think the search is over.  And right around Valentines day, this will be a great gift to your partner or to anybody you know.  Boost Mobile is launching the QWERTY flip SANYO Incognito with the $50 Monthly Unlimited Plan….That is way cheaper that what we are paying right now.  The model is SANYO Incognito SCP6760 at $129.99 excluding taxes with free shipping when you purchase through here.  It has unlimited plan for only $50 per month, no contract required…How amazing is that?
The phone has cool features as well. With features like 2MP camera with VGA camcorder, music and video player, enhanced web browsing SANYO Incognito™ pairs perfectly with the Boost Mobile $50 Monthly Unlimited plan which offers unlimited talk, text & web with no contract.

With EVDO capabilities and a full QWERTY keyboard, friends and families can stay connected via their favorite social networking sites and share content within seconds. Additional features include Multi-Media messaging (Picture & Video), Stereo Bluetooth® Capable & GPS Enabled.

This will be a perfect Valentines gift with less monthly payments, cool phone features and the unlimited service.

my weight loss journey

I have been on a battle to lose weight after giving birth to my daughter two years ago.  Over a year, I got stuck on a weight that I thought I couldn’t lose.  Just about the last quarter of 2009, I decided to focus.  I asked my hubby to buy a treadmill for me to use at home.  I started on here and there diet.  But I focused myself on the exercise habit.  I have been running on the treadmill for 2miles each day.  I even used the sauna suit because I don’t sweat a lot like most people do.  During the first few weeks, I only eat banana for breakfast, fruits, protein drinks and a one good meal to last me through the next day.  The progress was slow, yet I was hopeful that one day I will get to the target weight. I continued with my routine until around December that I noticed a dramatic change in my body.  I feel healthy and sexy once again.  I can’t be more proud of myself.  I have reached my goal weight and have maintained it so far up to this very day.  The only thing that changed with my routine is that I get to eat what I want now, and still continue with my exercise routine twice or three times a week. Last words, don’t give up.  If others can, why can’t you?
