Ways to Buy less and Get more

Part 1: SIMPLIFY

1. Pass on extra-step products, like primer, serums and plumpers.
2. Maximize clear mascara by using it also as brow gel.
3. Get a fancy pedicure only during sandal-wearing months.
4. Invest in a multitasking face cream with both SPF and anti-aging benefits.
5. Use leftover makeup remover to clean makeup brushes.
6. Cut soap bars in two and use only one half at a time when washing.
7. Try lash extensions in lieu of disposable falsies or highfalutin novelty mascaras.
8. Transfer multiple eyeshadow quads into larger plastic palettes and organize by color to ensure full usage.
9. A face mist that primes the complexion and also moisturizes and sets makeup afterwards is essential.
10. Use your fingers instead of a sponge when possible for maximum spreadability and amost zero wastage.

life is beautiful

Waking up I see that everything is OK
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great

lines from the song "innocence" by avril lavigne. the last line is just so inspiring. life is beautiful if we just know how to appreciate things around us no matter how big or small it is.

Carbonara (Original Style)

I cooked carbonara for lunch today. hmm.. it doesnt taste like the one my mom used to cook but i am so proud of myself for doing it..hehe
Im gonna share to everyone how to cook it which my mom taught me how to.
HERE's HOW:
1. slice Prosciutto crudo(italian ham, taste like bacon) into small cubes.
2. fry the Prosciutto crudo in olive oil until half-crispy (so it will not lose its flavor). Set aside.
3. get 6 fresh eggs (5yolks:1whole egg). mix.
4. cook the pasta. approximately 1/2 kilo.
5. drain the pasta then quickly add it to the mixed eggs. mix well.
6. put the fried Prosciutto crudo with olive oil and parmesan cheese. mix.
7. enjoy!!!

and i also bought this..


i love designing and making "anything" stuffs..kkk

H. Roberts Acqua Distillata alle Rose (toner)

a toner works by de-flaking skin, removing excess oil and tightening pores to refresh and polish skin, preparing it to receive moisture. a nicely toned skin allows for better absorption of moisturizer and makeup, giving a fresher-looking skin. although some are reluctant to use this product because they find it too strong or drying (which i experienced many times with my previous toners), there are toners that are not, H. Roberts Acqua Distillata alle Rose toner, which im using right now is really giving me good results. its like water with aroma of roses but it is doing well as a toner and suitable for sensitive skin!!!

headband

i just bought a new headband few days ago since i cut my hair short and i cant do anything other than putting a hairclip or headband..i love it because i can mix n match the colors i want ^^

Greenhills

Me and my cousin went to greenhills today for a special finding mission. if you would ask filipino people, greenhills is heaven! it is where you can find cheap but stylish clothes, accesories, etc.. i sooo adore antique-designed stuffs these days so i undoubtedly bought this:


whats nice about this is, if you open it, it has watch inside! 2 in 1 watch-necklace!

and for our special mission:


ZOE UNNI.. I FOUND IT!! HAHAHA I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT MIGHT GET OUT OF STOCK....HAHAHA

Tiendesitas

Tiendesitas is one of my most-loved places here in the city. we can find almost everything we want here, from pet village, fashion village, food village, souvenir village and antique village. plus it somehow tour you "hundred years ago philippines" because of its spanish-style design.
here are some of classy and unique finds in antique village:

Bottega Verde Face Mask

hello hello!
my mom bought me these face masks from an italian beauty bar called "Bottega Verde".. if koreans have The Face Shop and Skin Food, italians have Bottega Verde..

aloe vera face mask-perfect for an instant moisture boost and ideal for all skin types. it helps the skin to enrich its water reserves, bestowing instant softness.

face mask with chamomile extract and sweet almond oil-effective against reddening and hot, tight sensation typical for sensitive skin.

Burgoo

we love Burgoo not just because of the food they are serving (mainly, american dishes) but also because we can do artwork on the table~~!!! if you havent tried here, Burgoo uses PAPER TABLE MAT wherein you can draw/write whatever you want on the table mat..plus they provide you crayons and pens you can use to vandal your own table mat~ <3 exciting isnt it? kkkk
