Wow!! It's been over a year since I last posted on here. I really do apologize for that. Life happens, right? Right. A lot has happened in the past year, I don't even know where to start.  Let's see: My grandma passed away Feb 24, 2011. She lived a great long life (she was 92). I'm glad I got to say my goodbye to her, and spend the last few years with her.  My aunt passed away

You know when you put mascara on & your arm slips & oops!! You got mascara on your eyelid!! Ugh!! Totally sucks, right?  Remember when I posted that video [skip to 5:14] where I'm using a business card to shield my makeup from getting mascara on it?  Well, someone actually came up with the idea to make it easier on us beauty junkies!!  Lash Card was created by Alice K based

This photo is a photo that my sister took. As you can tell, my favorite animal is a dog. This photo is a picture of my Pitbull/Doberman named Chase. I miss him so much! I had to give him away a month after this photo was taken. I was never a cat person, only because I couldn't have cats. My whole family is allergic to them. I love me some puppies!! I've always wanted a pug, though. Maybe when

The image does not belong to me & I do NOT take credit for it. Click here for credit Okay, I'm not a HUGE Hello Kitty fan & never really was one. I was more of a Pochacco & Pekkle fan, along with Batz Maru. Anyway, I was browsing through the 'Net & found this on uglydress.com. EW!! It's a hideous wedding dress!! Totallly making me dislike Hello Kitty even more. Who would

I love to read… It’s definitely one of my favorite past times. I love getting lost in someone else’s mind when reading. Another thing is doing hair & makeup. The fact that it makes people look good on the outside & feel good on the inside makes me feel AMAZING :D I learned how to knit 2-3 years ago from watching YouTube videos. Crazy, I know!! But it helps me relax when nothing else,

  I never only have one favorite everything, as you can tell by the other posts… LOL! Anyway… I would add MAC Mineralized Satinfinish to this photo, but I don’t have any right now :[ So, these will do. LOL I love the ColorStay for its coverage & staying power. I even made a eyeshadow primer from it :D I just don’t like the weight of it. It leaves my face matte & I like that. Dusting

 From left to right in the picture above: StudioTools Dual-Finish Brush, mark Concealer Brush, e.l.f. Eyeshadow “C” Brush, MAC 224, MAC 217 & Avon Bent Eyeliner Brush. I have more than ONE favorite brush. LOL!!   I like my StuidoTools stippling brush better than MAC’s 187 b/c the white fibers are shorter & perfect for stippling. It’s much sturdy than the 187.

I have two that are my favorites. Right now the bag that I’ve been using every day is the bag that my friend gave me. It’s from Vera Wang’s Simply Vera collection. I also have this tan & brown one that I use for my knitting projects b/c it’s big enough to use :D They both do its job by holding EVERYTHING in there—and I mean EVERYTHING…  The only thing is, I can never find what I’m

My favorite eyeliner, huh?  I’ve used a lot in my past. I think my first one was those Revlon ones that were red & had a red cap. I can’t find a picture online, but I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, here are my favorite liners!! Pencil: Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner -- I love this product for m waterline & tight line. I don't have to put shadow to set it or anything!

So, I’ve decided to join the blog bandwagon & participate in the 30-Day Challenge. I got this from LUUUX.com. If you’ve been hiding under a rock & don’t know what it is, it’s a challenge where you write in your blog for 30 days straight. You get a topic for each day. The next post will be the start of the challenge.  If you’d like to participate, I posted all of the blog topics below

For everyone who's been asking me what I want for Christmas.. It's still the same list from last year, but I added a few things. - For Shana to move back to the Bay & go to school with me at Heald Milpitas. - Gift Cards from: MAC, Sephora, ULTA, Love Culture, Target, CherryCulture.com [my wishlist is here, and I want all the colors of this brand L.A Colors Nail Polish], e.l.f, Amazon.com,

June 28, 1983 I was born in a small province of Isabela, Philippines called Cauayan. As I write this blog, smoking a cigarette, I started to think back on how my life, like all of our lives, had its ups & downs. My life has never been perfect & it's from the choices we make as people. I've been to hell & back, as I'm sure, like most of us HUMANS have. In my opinion, if you haven't,

So, I always see the commercials for this dental hygiene line. I had to try it out! The official website for this toothpaste says that it's supposed to "Whiten teeth by removing up to 80% of surface stains in just 14 days with Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste. Its patented enamel safe whitening ingredient polishes away stains to gently whiten teeth." I'm putting it to the test starting today by

This photo was taken on my 1st birthday, which was about 26 yrs ago (do the math). The lady holding me is the most beautiful, inspirational, loving, hilarious person I've ever known in my life... My mother. My mom is a single mother & raised 3 girls to adult hood with the help of my grandmother & aunts. Mine & my sisters relationship with our mom wasn't your Gilmore Girls kind...
