Do you know that you can actually make a lot of money just by buying, trading and selling silver and gold bullions? A friend who has been into this business for quite sometime now has been raving to us how much he has been making because of all these bullions.  more…

We just got back from our weekly mini-reunion with my in-laws. I swear their outdoor fireplaces are working overtime because of the, well, still chilly weather. I cannot wait for Spring to come and spend more time outdoors. This Winter has been the harshest so far and it’s not funny anymore. Even my kiddo is cranky because there are days their pre-school has to be shut down because of the snow and extreme cold. Argh. Apart from these reasons, my hair and skin are getting to be very dry already that no amount of conditioner and moisturizer can beat the dryness. So please, Spring, come quick, now, pronto!

I once researched on this cosmetology school a few years back when I was thinking of shifting careers. I was almost 100 percent decided to take short courses on make-up and hairstyling until I just opted to take apprentices from senior artists in town. So, when a friend was geared on taking up cosmetology courses, I just referred her to Regency Beauty for their list of cosmetology schools nationwide. The site is user-friendly and very comprehensive. They are categorized according to specific courses and locations. Testimonials from previous students are also incorporated in the description to help you make your perfect choice.

So, how about you, have you thought of changing careers?

Before I take my weight loss drink and write my series of Maybelline make-up review entries, let me share this beautiful quote I stumbled on Tumblr.  Stay beautiful y’all!

“Hey, girls, you’re beautiful. Don’t look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That’s all. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not good enough. You’re good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you’re a size 4 or 14. It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you’re a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it’s been told hundreds of times before, but it’s true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful.”

Ever since the 8-10 inches snow a couple of weeks ago, I have been accustomed at checking weather station first thing in the morning. So yes, it was only now that I became like this hee hee. You couldn’t blame me because we have a lovely weather in this lovely city even on Winter season. But this year, it has been different. In fact, there is another snow forecast this weekend! Yay!  more…

When it comes night make-up, I usually recommend the use of the color silver or grays, when it comes to accentuating your eyes. I find silver elegant and dramatic for any eye shape for as long as you know how to blend it well. more…

When it comes to bridal make-up, I pay particular attention to the coverage of the foundation. I don’t go strong so much on the colors and try as much as possible to work on the neutrals, pinks, and colors that would enhance the bride’s skin tone and complexion. more…

I wasn’t able to watch the Golden Globe Awards because I was busy researching on these hgh supplements. Anyways, I swiped these photos from WhoWhatWear.com. I just can’t help but comment on the trend of make-up these stars wore, they were all subdued and I love it. I guess because all of their gowns were very much elaborated that was why they had to be a little light on the make-up.
