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.
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.
So I first read about Jacqueline Koh from Singapore who had 10 plastic surgery to look like an anime character and she wasn’t even into anime. And then she had to have fillers like the above youtube video – oouchh! That must be quite expensive in the long run and very painful too. I really wouldn’t take a needle unless my life depended on it but here we have someone who is so brave to be undergoing all these pain in the name of ? beauty?
I really have nothing against plastic surgery – but mannn.. !!! these girls sure have a good threshold for pain – for I can’t imagine going thru’ all these to look good. But wait a minute – if without the fillers and you look like the below – does that mean that you are dependent on the fillers forever?
Can her spouse accept it – does it sound so plastic ? nothing against anyone doing it again – but I’m just thinking for myself – wouldn’t all these fillers and plastic surgery have some kind of after effect in the future? Wow! life must be more than just that right? but to each her own I guess and power to Jacqueline Koh for doing all of her surgery and I wish her good luck.
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.
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.
After living in the West for 12 yrs – I know when to get stuff at the best prices – these PJs were gotten after the Christmas season – and I bought them for a steal ! at $10 for a 2 piece PJs from Joes that regularly goes for $19.99 – $25.99 – that’s a real bargain right? now if they had more – I would have bought more but I was late – alas! But yes – ! if you really want to get good buys at the right prices – watch out for sale on things – why pay more than you should right? loved new PJs after Christmas!
Yes! I’ve been boots crazy lately ! but can you blame a girl for wanting to look nice! we were in the city and I saw this and they fit my dress that I am planning to wear for the New Year party – so I bought it – not very expensive – I paid like $110 for them – pretty cool right – my favorite color too – green! and the kind of green i liked too!
Yes! you won’t see me in town this Christmas – we are heading to the South to get some warm and the sun. The hotel we are staying in provides everything – it’s the all inclusive type of vacation but we are not bringing our kids because we are going to be spending a lot of time at the pool. When she is older we will bring her a long – but if only the hotel had a pool gate – i bet all my girlfriends would bring their kids with them. You know when you are on a vacation – you don’t want to be worrying about the kids falling into the pool right? so we rather be safe than be sorry – our homes have pool gates when our kids were young – so such a big hotel – I would say it would be really nice if they do it with the big people’s pool. But anyhow – we are heading to the south for the New Year but only 7 days – see you when we come back.
