People asked me all the time what to give to the wife on an anniversary and I would tell them to check out anniversary gifts by year because you not only get an idea what to give – you can buy your gift from the same site. The other most common question I get asked is what is your favorite anniversary gift? Mine? I gotta say the above toilet paper – first thing in the morning – when you use the bathroom and the toilet paper is all over the toilet – now tell me that doesn’t make you feel giddy, silly and funny all at once. And this would go well with all the other 2nd anniversary gifts for those celebrating their second anniversary.
Gifts need not be expensive but they must be thoughtful – and you can’t just buy a random gift right? Some men say that women are difficult to please – but to me – it’s understanding your woman and what she needs. If you are both saving for a holiday or to buy a house – you definitely shouldn’t splurge on a diamond ring right? A meaningful gift – a price of a stalk of rose – would suffice (for me anyways). And for a spouse who needs nothing – a funny t-shirt or even a teddy bear would be nice – plus if it is shipped to the office where she works – that would be so sweet – what do you think? I hope my suggestion/s helped – but you can always let me know – if you have a better gift to give to the special someone.
Branded goods are not cheap and a good friend had shown me what she did for her old branded handbags and shoes back home. It’s amazing that they have a shop that professionally clean your branded goods – from shoes to handbags and even clothes and if a color of your shoes and handbags are getting too old to clean – you can opt to dye it. I used to just throw my old stuff out – now I don’t have to anymore – i’ll just bring them home with me to Asia – the next time I’m home. Pretty awesome right?
I’m a firm believer of DIY beauty care – after all – once a month facial – doesn’t do it right? I don’t normally get the expensive stuff – but if I find them on sale – I would definitely buy some. I’m not crazy about stocking up mask – because they probably are old and going to expire. So some friends asked why I have these DIY Mask. Well, as we all know – the weather – the air and all the dirt that is accumulated and the moisture lost – when we are doing our daily stuff – it’s nice to sit back at night after a shower and put on your DIY mask and replenish the moisture and take out any impurities on our skin. And if you don’t take care of your own skin – who is right? So what kind of regimen do you have at home – that helps you looking young and beautiful?
Every beautiful woman wants a dream bathroom – with awesome looking faucets and lots of space and mirrors but a jacuzzi bathtub would be a plus – if not a bath tub deep enough to immerse your entire body without having to slip yourself deeper than you need to go get entirely soak. My dream bathroom is only for myself – but if I can’t have it for myself – then I would need two sinks – two toilet bowls and a standing shower – not the ones in your bath-tub. My dream bathroom needs to have flattering lightning and definitely a place to do my nails – i must have good soft music. This bathroom – is at a hotel in Asia – and it’s not an ordinary hotel – and as you can see – they used the best furnishing and decor. My home bathroom is smaller – but the next house I buy – I’m going to have my own bathroom in my own bedroom. What about you ?
So you are home with your kids but you don’t feel like wearing your jeans – since you are just going to do some housework and hang out with the kids and the spouse. Do you stay in your PJs? most people do – now that’s a huge mistake no? i mean really? do you wanna see your spouse walking around in his boxers all day? Think about it? My solution? a tee jamas – as soon as I saw one some 16 years ago – at Marks & Spencer – i never turned back – what better way to lounge around the house in your tee-jamas. You don’t really need to spend a lot – just a fashionable tee – that you can wear around the house – but not for sleeping eh – and a decent jammie pants – i think it is sexy enough – what do you think? This one is from Victoria’s Secret though – but you get the idea right.
Preparing for a vacation takes planning – a few weeks in advance. You not only have to pack for yourself but for the entire family especially the kids! the kids stuff takes up so much space – one can easily forget to pack your own stuff – like your shampoo or toner you may need for the next few days. We look at several different holiday packages like Branson vacation package , Disney World and Sea World – all takes at least a good 5 days – so I have to pack for a 5 days worth for everyone.
Where do one begin? and surely you wanna look your best during your vacation – so that your vacation pictures can be shown around proudly to your family and friends right? So moms – how do one pack all your daily regimen into a suitcase? Are you going on a plane ? or with a car? Normally, or for the longest time – i pack the kids stuff first – but this trip – i’m packing first my stuff – and then kids – the spouse – you let him pack his own. Plan ahead – mix and match your clothing – but never forget all your perfumes – lotions and sunscreen – because those are the things you really need. I’m packing up soon – and will let you all know how i make out.
I’ve been on a shopping spree and bought some Sloggi Maxi !! finally !!!! I found Triumph Canada and they do – online orders!! whooohooo!!! you see i love having my panties covering my tummy – it feels comfy – and if you have a little tummy – you will know what i mean. It makes wearing jeans so much more nicer on you – tummy flat and all. Too bad they don’t have the Hikini anymore – they only have the Maxi – I bought 2 of them at $13.50 each and shipping was like $5 if i am not wrong. It didn’t take long to arrive either – so i’m pretty pleased with it. The only problem i have with buying online is – you can’t see the real size – and i think I might need to order a size smaller in the future – but overall – it was ok – i could still wear these ones – but once i start losing weight – i think they will have to go. Lacy panties isn’t for the everyday use – so i’m just a simple person – and wants comfort and if you like comfort – you will know that the Sloggi Maxi is the best.
The best thing I like about Kose Japan is they have all your records even if you are not buying from the same store. So lets say – you bought something a month ago – from a store and then go to another store – and wonder if you bought an item recently – or tried it before – they can just put in your info on the computer and they have everything you ever bought from them or the facial appointments you have had. Pretty cool eh? I think they probably use some kind of document management software to track all info and distribute it on all their Kose counter’s computer.
Anyhow – the girlfriend from Japan sent these over and told me that in the record in Kose Japan – the things that she had bought for me thus far shows that I’ve used more than 50 bottles of Sekkesei and the counter girl had asked her if i wanted to try something else. The problem is – i haven’t had a chance to try anything new – because over here – where i lived – we don’t have a Kose Counter or a beauty shop – quite the bummer right. So for now – I just have to continue using the Sekkesei lotion – i love masking my face with it.
So I went for another facial because the girlfriend that i had booked for the session didn’t want to go – but as soon as i went in – i found out that they had the same promotion next month *sigh* – had i known i wouldn’t have gone again so quickly. Oh well – what can you do. I went in a hurry this time – and that was a few days ago – but yesterday – i found that my skin was kinda blotchy – kinda dry – a wee bit worried now.
So what would you do ? do you call your esthetician and inform her about it? will she get offended? what can she do about it? will you go back to her again? I’ve slapped on more cream than usual today – so i’ll wait a few days and see how it goes – in the meantime – i’m gonna sign up for a sauna session for the next 1 month and see if i can get rid of some toxins.
So we received some holiday invitations for the summer – and one of them was from our local spa – inviting us for a facial at 50% off their regular price for the month of July. But the catch ? only on Fridays – and how can i miss out on half price facials right? So i quickly called for an appointment – just in case the spaces are filled – and got into it a few weeks ago – but I also made another for the end of the month – so that i can take full advantage of the facial – greedy much ? hahha!!!
So how did the facial go? I went for the Signature Facial – at its original price it was $80 but since it’s only half price I paid $40 + taxes. The signature facial is customized specially for the individual and because i needed deep cleansing – it was also included in the facial. The esthetician was informed that i had anxiety problem if i was laid flat too long – so she tried to raise me up during masking time and i truly appreciate it. I had a wonderful facial – but more massage would be welcome – but never mind – come end of this month – i’m going for another – to pamper myself – i can’t wait ! Love summer invitations like these don’t you?
