March 13th, 2012The Saress Beach Dress

Murad Transforming Skincare

The Saress beach dress is the ultimate must have when you go for your vacation or use during the summer.  Comes in different sizes – so bigger girls do not have to worry because you will find one that fits you.  I loved that it is so easy to wear and they are lovely to wear on the beach or dinner in the evening at the resort.   Not expensive at all – you can get them for as low as $19.99 online.  Check them out but if you have a local store that sells them – of course, support your local store.

The delicious French Tote from Roots is out for sale and i’m so torn between everyone of them – I want all of them of course but cannot buy all right?  So what color should I choose I asked myself the entire day now.  Prices range from $168 – $188 + 15 % taxes.  I want a change of color but I think I might end up with the orange one – the only thing I don’t like about these french totes are they are not lined.  I hate that – because it can make all your other stuff dirty !  I have a black one – and everytime I pick something out from inside my black tote – some black stuff comes out with it – gross!

Man can be quite oblivious, that’s why I called mine Mr Oblivious many times a week.  And I don’t think it’s just because we’ve been together for a long time, I just think he couldn’t care less if I had a new hair cut or if I painted my face orange.  It’s not like he doesn’t “care” but like he said, it don’t matter to him.

So ladies, if you are going on a first date – don’t panic – most men don’t even notice a lot of things – and those who does are probably into men and not you.   I don’t paint my face – but i think I might just have to a little bit anyway not to look good for him but to look good for myself.  I wear a lip gloss instead of lipsticks because I find it such a waste to paint on the lipstick and then it gets left behind on cups and tissue papers – so a darn good lipgloss is always good.

But so you know – putting on some perfume is good for yourself – but the man may not even noticed like mine – but they loved a good clean hair if possible – so no stiffening stuff or gel on hair – coz’ they can’t run their fingers over your hair if they want to get intimate. Other that that – I think you are ok – so don’t go get drastic for your date with a new guy or an old guy that you’ve been with for a long time, dress up for yourself and make up for yourself.

February 23rd, 2012Spring Jacket

Murad Transforming Skincare

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 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.

February 13th, 2012Denver Hayes Panties

Murad Transforming Skincare

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.

February 11th, 2012Renovation @ The Spa

Murad Transforming Skincare

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.

January 15th, 2012Children & Hair Cuts

Murad Transforming Skincare

I know of some parents who would spend tons of money on their kids hair and not just cutting and taking care of them but letting them color their hair and cutting them in style that no one does back home.   Hair cuts and coloring are expensive here in this little town and sometimes I wonder how people can afford to style their kids’ hair the way they do.  When I was a kid – we never went for expensive haircuts – so with my kid – I too do not like to bring her to a salon to cut her hair.  But lately, the lady who cuts her hair for $10 – either isn’t available or she doesn’t cut them as well as I want to – so I had no choice but to bring her for a $20 hair cut instead.  What do you as parents think ?  is $20 a hair cut expensive since the kid needs to cut her hair ever 4 – 6 weeks?  I know kids don’t really care about how they look but it is us who are fussy and want to give the best to our kids  – but one thing you can be sure about – is my kid isn’t getting her hair colored till she is in high school – putting lots of chemical in a kid’s head is not really good – if you asked me – it really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that.

December 25th, 2011BCBG Wooden Wedge Sandals

Murad Transforming Skincare

I just started to love the wooden wedge kinda sandals and when I saw it in the shop – guess who bought it for Christmas ! woohoo!!  yes !  crazy a bit about shoes these days – I have someone make a shoe case for me – just for my shoes.  These were going for like $200 – but they were on sale and you can blame a girl for loving the sale right?  Good buy for only $92!

December 22nd, 2011Year End Goodies For Myself

Murad Transforming Skincare

Yes ! I had to buy myself something right to end the year with something good as everyone tells me – and since I loved handbags so much – I had to get this Marc Jacobs Tangramarama Sam Tote.  What a name right?  yes!  long and weird but I loved the look of the handbag.  Made of leather and suede – this handbag cost me about $500 – I know it’s a lot of money – but compared to my LV crazed years – this is nothing.

The other goodie that I bought was this Bow Clutch by J. Crew for less than $50 – it’s on discount – and who can resist a bow clutch – goes with any of my evening wear and cocktail parties even for housewarming.
