March 3rd, 2012Spa Decor

Murad Transforming Skincare

I recently went to a spa in the city because I was up there with some girlfriends and this spa came highly recommended.  But what’s most impressive about the spa was its decor – I loved it.  I loved the ceiling lights there and I had wanted to ask them where they had gotten them from – but they were so busy I didn’t get a chance.   So guess who is going to the spa again next week – just because I need to find out where they got their ceiling lights.  I hope to find something on line that was just theirs but am having no luck – so I have to eat humble pie and ask for the information.  But as soon as I find it – I will post them up and let you see.  I had forgotten to bring my camera – but if you see it – you will know that I was right about the uniqueness of the ceiling lights.

How many times have you gone window shopping and end up buying the most expensive thing that you never set out to get?  I’m sure a lot of ladies out there are just like me – but don’t blame yourself for it – because you ain’t the only one doing that.  I’m so guilty about it – I’m sometimes shocked at myself.  So I did end up eying on 2 rings and couldn’t decide which one to buy and guess what I did?  bought both of them !  terrible ! terrible!  now I’m going to have to have toast for lunch, dinner and breakfast everyday.

February 27th, 2012Dream Prom Dress

Murad Transforming Skincare

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?

February 24th, 2012Spa In Phuket

Murad Transforming Skincare

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?

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.

February 22nd, 2012Special Friendships

Murad Transforming Skincare

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.

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.

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.

Beauty sleep is very important to not only one’s health but your skin as well.  I was so tired last night I went to bed at midnite and only got up at 8 am – to send the kid to school – and yet I didn’t get a good rest.  Friends tell me that it’s my mattress and that a mattress store los angeles has the kind of mattress that would do good for my sleep.   If I was in Los Angeles – it would have been perfect but since I’m not – I wonder too if there is anywhere that carries the same kind of mattress that this store in los angeles carries.   I also hear that the mattress at the Los Angeles store is 30 – 50% cheaper than other mattresses – now that i an awesome deal eh.  I really do need to change my mattress – our mattress is about 7 years old and it was supposed to last longer but I wake up with backache all the time for the last few months and that’s not good at all.  Getting a good sleep is very important for keeping me beautiful and a woman needs her beauty rest – I don’t want any back pain nor eye luggages.
