Fragrance Check | DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom

2013-05-11T07:38:00.001-07:00

I am retrieving myself from blogging since I have left this site idle for quite some time now. Not blaming my very busy schedules though. It'll be a week from now before my son's birthday party and I can say that I can relax more often starting today, as I have accomplished most of the things needed for the party.

Since it's Mother's Day tomorrow, you might want to check this super nice scent that I have been using for almost two years now. A perfect gift to our moms!

"It is composed of luminous accords of grapefruit mixed with rose and jasmine petals. This is a flirty, joyful and ultimate scent of spring, freshness and energy." - fragrantica.com

At first, I was hesitant to try this scent because of the name: "blossom". I have never been a fan of fragrances that smells like flower. But to my surprise, I am loving this one! Perfect for special occasions that needs an "all-day" refreshing mood. I promised that if I ran out of this, I'm sure to get a new one! Thanks to my mom-in-law who gave this to me last Christmas of 2011. :)

Have you tried this scent too?

GREYAM YALE's Birthday Shoes

2013-05-11T06:46:00.002-07:00

Hello loves! Well, this blog isn't just all about me but the one who calls me: "mommy"! Yes, three days from now, our little boy is turning two! How time flies! :)

One of the nicest things that I enjoy from being a mom to this boy is his love for basketball. Whenever we shop for clothes, he'd rather not fit them so I have to decide on the size for him. But man, he enjoys shoe fitting! I can sense, I'll be spending more moolahs for his shoes than toys. Haha!

Here's what we've got for him:

Jordan 5 size 8c

He's a spoiled and happy birthday boy!

Arm Candy: The Color of SUMMER

2013-05-09T04:16:00.000-07:00

Hey there loves! It's still summer, right? Though we still don't have any plans of going to some summer escapades 'cause we're saving up for Yale's first out of the country trip. Yes, we are planning to bring him to HK Disneyland or Universal Studios in Singapore, maybe mid of this year of at least after hubby's 30th birthday. We wanted him to enjoy every minute of being a kid. And yeah, it's also his 2nd birthday this coming 14th of the month, so we really have a lot of expenses as well for his party. :)

Anyway, here's my simple arm candy yesterday:

For me, summer colors are these three: Aqua blue, neon yellow and lime green.

This is also another way of promoting my shop: Sweetgreyam on Instagram that will soon be selling some arm candies. So, stay tuned!

Today's ARM CANDY and a Vintage Watch

2013-05-03T05:32:00.002-07:00

Hello May! Yes, it's my son and mom's birthday month! That's why, I will be very busy until the 18th, which is the party itself. I have to schedule myself everyday for meet ups, bookings and stuffs. Well today, I was able to buy my son his "birthday" clothes from Gingersnaps. Although they're having a BIG SALE until the end of May, some kid's clothes aren't, excluding what I bought for Yale. Anyway, it's his birthday clothes so it's okay. I'll just have to look for a nice pair of shoes, hubby and I are eyeing for Jordan or Kobe shoes from Nike. :)

Today's arm candy includes a Digital Vintage watch: Casio and it's straight from Japan. Bought by my brother in law.

Pink and Black set :)

Well, I'm planning to sell arm candies soon at my Instagram account, just follow Sweetgreyam for updates. :)

Art Project: Chocolate Factory Themed Party Decors Part 1

2013-04-28T06:42:00.001-07:00

Hi! Well, it's already the 28th of April and this is just my 2nd post. Woah! Now you know how busy I am in preparation of my son's 2nd birthday party. Also, with my online business. :)

Back in high school, I have been so creative that all of my art projects were taken for exhibits in the art room, my grades in Visual Arts were mostly 100%. But after college, I haven't been doing artworks until lately, when I became a mom that I realized being creative is a "must" to execute inexpensive and extravagant work of art. And on my second year of becoming a mom to my sweet little boy, I have checked on all available resources in the market. I promise to create one-of-a-kind art works on his special day. Anything for my little man.

So since it's about my creativity, I decided to DIY some things that I needed for the party instead of getting a supplier and paying thousands of bucks. Theme is: "Yale and the Chocolate Factory". If you have watched Johnny Depp's, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" , you would know the concept.

My idea of party decors would be bright colored materials, something related with candies. Well, I've got a big bag of candies! Haha!

Some of my inexpensive materials for my DIY items:

1. Gerber Empty Glass Bottles

- I just imagined that these bottles will be great for DIY party supplies. These are from Yale's drink a year ago and good thing that I still have these. I cleaned and removed the paper labels and I'm now drafting on what design I can create unto these cute bottles.

2. Colorful and Chic Materials

- The first time I saw these items, I must say that I fell deeply in love with them. Well, the fact that they're not expensive and you can create a lot of things with these babies, imagination is the key. I have assorted paper straws, baker's twine, baking cups and washi tapes.

I got these from Paper Chic Studio and Celebrations Party Central .

This is just the first part of my DIY materials. I'll be looking for some more affordable materials this week, mom and I will go to Divisoria to check out some other party stuffs. I haven't been there for a long time. :)

So there, I'll update more of this once I got a new set of materials.

Help Us Reach 1000 Followers!

Anyway, to thank all our customers and buyers, we are giving away some cute baby stuffs next month. Kindly read the mechanics and join the giveaway!

Will be posting the prizes soon! :)

My HAPPY EASTER Nails

Happy Easter everyone! Here's another DIY nail art for this week! An Easter bunny and eggs. :)

Have a great Easter Sunday everyone!

SAPPE Beauti Drink

2013-03-30T03:42:00.003-07:00

Hello loves! Another beauty discovery that I got here is not really a beauty product but a very refreshing drink. Yeah, you read it right! This is a new drink from Thailand. Manufactured by the same company who created Mogu Mogu. :)

The drink has two variants, I tried the one with L-Carnitine which according to the label: "Helps promote the fat metabolism and is good substance for intake during your diet and exercise programs."

the packaging is too nice, it looks like a shampoo rather than a drink :)

This drink is made of lime and white grape juices. It's citrus flavor tastes like Sprite or 7UP less the carbon. It contains 8000mg of fiber and 86mg of L-Carnitine which can help burn fat.

It's translucent white in color and best served chilled

Where to buy?

At any 7eleven outlets for only Php 40. It's just another refreshing way to be beautiful without hurting your pocket, at the same time, hydrated this summer!

'til next!

AZTEC For My iphone

2013-03-22T02:22:00.000-07:00

Summer is here! Well, you might have experienced too hot lazy days now. Sometimes, I just wanna stay inside the room and maximize the a/c all the time. Haha!

Everyone might have seen a lot of aztec designs this summer! From clothing, bags, accessories, swim wear, flops and even phone cases! So I decided to get myself one for my iphone 5! :)

Here it is!
