>>ESSENTIAL SHOPPING: NO-BUY-MODE STILL SWITCHED ON>>

My no-buy-mode is still one however, there are things that can't be avoided shopping for because of the fact that they are essentials and I can't imagine myself waking up in the morning thinking that I haven't got them. Call me sad but that's just the fact :)

Hmmm... Why am I talking like this as if I've just spent an arm and and a leg on unnecessary shopping? Okay, I must admit, I've still got loads of shampoos and hair conditioners stashed away but I just couldn't resist buy-one-get-one-free offer (BOGOF, yes that makes me a bogger ha ha ha! Whatever!). So I grabbed a bottle of Sunsilk shampoo and 3 bottles of conditioners (Yes, I do use a lot hair conditioner).

I know what you're thinking about my 3 Rimmel eyeshadows... They were on 3 for 2 offer so I actually got one free. Does that sound clever enough? I think it does. Ha ha ha!

Got this Davines Universal Polishing Coat For Wizards (No. 10) from the hair salon when I had my hair done. It smelt really great when Becks (my hairstylist) applied it on my hair as a finishing touch so I decided to grab a pot. It really is a generous pot for (100 ml) £15.50 ($27/1,275 PHP) and I only need very tiny of it to make my crowning glory shine and smell gorgeous all day ;)

My new Rimmel eyeshadows. I thought the colours look beautiful!

Colour Rush Trio Eye Shadow in Modern Glam (699)

Colour Rush Quad Eye Shadow in Bold Behaviour (014)

Colour Rush Quad Eye Shadow in Smokey Brun (002)

Believe it or not, I'm quite excited about trying my new Rimmel make up on. I've never used them before so it'll be something new ;).

Wish me luck!

Till next time...

TTFN!!

DIY Manicure and Pedicure

As mentioned on Nikki's blog... I was going to post my DIY manicure and pedicure so, here it is! It takes me nearly 5 hours to do them and it's because, I'l like to do them carefully and properly (in my own opinion of course... professionals surely will have their own perception of 'proper' manicure... I'm just making that clear before I get slated)... and to avoid cutting myself. There's nothing worse than having our fingers and toes butchered when opting for DIY manicure and pedicure.

My manicure and pedicure essentials. I'm going to edit this post to share how I do my mani and pedi as you might be wondering why it takes me nearly 5 hours to do them. However, I'd like to share this trick that I have discovered about 5 years ago. As I have very very weak nails (they're prone to chipping), I've tried the Rimmel London Two Weeks Rescue and it's been God send. So much better than the Sally Hansen products that I've used (they tend to dry my nails). If you can get hold of this product and you have the same problem as me, it really is worth trying. They're not that expensive either (£3.49)

Before you get the wrong idea, it's not an engagement ring... I've had that ring for about 6 years now ;)

Now, Nikki, sister! You know what I mean when I said I hate taking photo of my feet... They look pretty... pretty awful ha ha ha!

Guess who's back?

Hello everyone! Thank you guys for your kind messages whilst I've been busy with my new job. Although I have not been able to update my site, I've never failed to visit your pages to find out what you guys have been up to :)

Anyway, as what I've been saying since last week, I've been so busy with work and my body needed reconditioning to cope with having to work again ha ha ha! Gosh! As much as I was excited to start my new job, I was nervous as well. Being my first post as a Registered Nurse, I was worried of the expectations my colleagues may have on me but they all have been supportive and I feel blessed to work with such a great team. I know that it won't always be like this, having to work in the biggest ward in the hospital but I like challenges ;)

So... dearies! A few of you have expressed how much you've missed my posts (have you really?). Oh! I missed posting stuff too! However, as you all know, I've been spending my fortune in the past 3 months and you might find my posts in the coming months a little disappointing. Now, that I've started working, I am aiming to save some dosh for my holiday in December and a deposit for the house my boyfriend and I are planning to buy by next year. Oh! We're also planning a 2 to 3 days holiday in Scotland next month and it'll cost us a little fortune ;) whilst my son spends his birthday in Spain.

Moving on to a different story... Last Sunday, my boyfriend decided that we went to watch a film as I was so tired from my long days shifts, I didn't feel like cooking (again!), so we've decided to grab some lunch in a Chinese restaurant and buffet was a great option as it was quick. After lunch, we went to shop around whilst waiting for the film showing (didn't start until 17.10) and I ended up in Boots. My boyfriend has decided to wait outside for me but he became impatient that he followed me inside (I didn't realize that I have been in for 45 minutes) and bluntly expressed how annoyed he was with me. All I could do was apologize and promised that it won't happen again. My boyfriend is not the kind of person to easily forget the mistakes I made (and about to make)... I suppose that's one thing I'll have to deal with. I guess, I've to avoid shopping around for make up when he's with me. I hate annoying people specially when it comes to my personal shopping... I've decided that from now on, I'll do it on my own time and my in my own space. That way, I won't have to feel guilty about having to take my time and actually enjoy shopping.

Anyway, after shopping we went to see the film 'Mongol'. It was a great film and we've really enjoyed it. I love periodic films and has always been fascinated with different cultures. I've onced watched a documentary about Genghis Khan on history channel that when I found out that it has been turned into a major motion picture, I thought, I've gotta watch it... and I did!

After watching the film, as we were not particularly hungry although we had to eat something, we've decided to pop in YO! Sushi! for a light meal and headed back home.

It was a hot Sunday so I've decided to wear something really light so I opted for this little top. I've never thought of buying anything from Primark but when I saw this top, I thought it was cute so I grabbed it. I teamed it with my Ted Baker belt to give an omph to the outfit (that was what I was trying to do anyway ha ha ha!). However, I don't think my boyfriend was keen about the way I dressed up last Sunday but then again, I felt comfortable in them and who cares. I might have been wearing a £5 (around $9 USD) top from Primark that day but I also wore my Gucci shoes... So... Bleh!

The shopping trip that annoyed my boyfriend :P

Chanel, No.7, Urban Retreat, Bourjois and of course the SATC notebook for Shen. By the way it was my boyfriend's treat... No, not my make up, just the snacks whilst watching the movie they came with the SATC notebook.
