This is dream prom dress I want for my daughter when she goes for her first prom – isn’t this pretty or what? I saw it on a show - Something by design the name of the show – Jane by design – the spouse told me a minute ago. When I was younger – my mother would never think of buying such an expensive prom dress for me. All my previous prom dresses were make shift ones – or borrowed ones because my school friends would take pity on me for not being able to afford to buy one to attend the prom – so they would loan me one of theirs from a previous years so that I can go.
So when my daughter goes for her first real prom – I’m going to get a nice dress but of course, I’m not going to go crazy and get her a $1000 prom dress. I want a big puffy dress for her and a classy one. What about you – ? what was your dream prom dress?
I think the best spa that I’ve been to – are the ones that has the best atmosphere with soothing music and great decor. Nothing beats the environment of the spa – like they say – the first impression is the most important and a good spa needs to have not only the best masseur but also a lot of other combination. I know that some spa uses some professional soundcraft mixers for their music like the hotel that I used to work for to produce the best music for the entire hotel. The concept is simple – they feel that the music in the spa/hotel makes the customer/s feels at ease immediately when they walk into the spa/hotel, thus enjoying the experience they have at the spa/hotel. So when you go for your spa treatment – you not only pay for your treatment but the whole experience – therefore, some spa charges more and some spa less. I wouldn’t mind paying more if it means relaxation during the time I’m at the spa – after all, you don’t get an hour or two to space every day right?
Spring isn’t here yet – but one can still start shopping for spring. I prefer the brighter color these days – and this jacket – is more like a day time jacket – and I got it really cheap from the local mall. Mixing and matching makes you look a lot more fashionable – and it doesn’t take a lot of money to look good.
I don’t know about you but I do have a special friendship with my hairstylist, my esthetician and also my manicurist. Yes, I go to different people to do different things – so that I will get the best service out of them and spread the money around. But when you have a friend who loves chocolates like the spouse – you need to get some really special gift. So when my manicurist invited me for her 30th birthday – I went looking for a 30th birthday gift for chocoholics and my gift was definitely a hit with everyone. I only liked to get gifts that the birthday person would like – so I was really glad I found something she liked and that was chocolate!!! now how hard was it right? but nope I had to get her some special chocolates that she would absolutely loved and I turned to one place I know where. It was easy to order online and they had just the perfect chocolate gift for my special friendship with my manicurist.
I haven’t attended many funerals – so when my mother-in-law passed away this morning, I didn’t know what to wear for her funeral. I didn’t want to dress up inappropriately because after all – one has to show their respect by dressing in the right way. So I went hunting for the right blouse, jacket and shoes – how horrid right to have nothing to wear for a funeral. But you can’t really blame me because I loved the bright color clothing and try to wear as happy as possible. I did finally find something that was suitable and not too shabby with the time constraint for the funeral was a few days after the death.
Winter sucks for my skin – they get so dry – it’s just ugly – but not until i started using shea butter and found out about shea butter benefits and I never turned back. I loved the feel of my skin after using shea butter – and it last almost the entire day – my skin has improved a lot since using them. But I hear that the unprocessed ones are the best – especially for those who are pregnant and worried about stretch marks. I’m considering using them for my feet as well – because if you’ve seen my feet – you will know how dry and flaky they looked. So for those who have dry skin like mine – check out shea butter – they are really great on dry skin, hair and also blemishes/wrinkles.
Finding the right type of panties had been a real challenge for me ever since migrating to Canada. In Canada, they don’t carry the same brand that I was used to – like Wacol and Triumph – well, you can order Triumph online – but they don’t have the hikini to sell anymore. I don’t know if they no longer carry this line or that it just isn’t popular here.
I did find some panties I sorta like at Superstore but the top gets torn so easily – and then I saw the Denver Hayes panties at Mark’s Wearhouse. They were more expensive than the ones from Superstore but hey! if it fits – who cares – afterall, the ones I got from Triumph online was more expensive than this. I haven’t tried them on yet – but I’ll let you all know once I’ve – gotta wash them first. Oh I forgot to let you know that I like the high-cut ones – the ones that can cover up your tummy as well to make you look slimmer – and not have your tummy protruding out.
So I haven’t been to my regular spa for a few weeks now and found out that they did a little renovation work and a lot of their furniture had been refurbished and I also am impressed with some of the leather seat repair kit they had gotten to do some of their refurbished stuff. So as i sat at the spa waiting for my esthetician and looking around at what they had done for the spa – I was quite motivated and want to do the same for my home as well. We have quite a few leather furniture that could use as little touch up and shine – for everything looked so comfy now at the spa – it’s like almost new. Very inspiring I told the spouse – and with the leather repair kit – I’m sure I can do it myself too.
I had been meaning to go check out the leather boots for kids from a local store at home – which is just behind my working place but I keep skipping it because I had no time. So finally, today I was able to go take a look at the shoes for my kid and they were on sale – of course, that motivated me to go back with my kid. And we did get something – hurray!
In fact, we got 2 pairs instead of one because the sale was so good.
First this ankle boots that is purplish brown in color – made of leather – and original price at $135! and we bought it for really a steal.
And a mary jane shoe for a really good price too – really fitting and cool.
It seems like forever since I had gone for a pedicure and even though there were some new places sprouting out around town – I still went back to my trustee esthetician because I didn’t want to get a foot fugal or something like that. It’s always so relaxing here and I liked my esthetician a lot because she is non- judgemental.
Love the decor and she has a very nice view from where I am sitting.
So this is after soaking my feet.
Look at how much dry skin i have on my toes – it’s horrible – I’m ill-treating my feet.
And some filing down of my toe nails.
And exfoliation – which I never do on my own – bad person!
Now to let all the good stuff soaked in.
and more cream put for more moisturizing.
Two of my poor neglected feet.
And there you go – all nice and scrubbed and exfoliated and filed down. So hopefully, this time I remember to take care of my feet and go for a pedicure every month – so that my feet don’t look like shit.
