About Me

My photo
I created this blog back in August 2010. The focus was mainly on Material things. Though I am still a lover of material things however, I feel that there are plenty of bloggers out there that feeds into this frenzy of having this constant want over basic necessities. Instead, this is just going to be a blog about my adventures through life. I hope you enjoy reading my blog!! ^^ Please comment and subscribe!

I've been wearing grey contacts ever since high school. Which mean I've been wearing them for about 10-12 years! I love love my Acuvue Colour Opaques in Pearl grey however I've been on youtube a lot recently and I came across some new contacts that I want to try. I decided to get PINK yes you read correctly Pink contacts, Grey contacts, and some Brown ones. Mix it up a little bit you know!? Here they are:


The package!


Look at how cute everything is packed. I got a Pink bear, Yellow frog, and Blue fish? contact cases!

Opening this product can be pretty dangerous. Please watch a youtube video on how to properly and safely open this product!


Out of the bottle. Again these are my Brown pair. They look pretty interesting. I am shooting for light brown eyes with these! I'll post pictures as I wear each of these.


These are my pink pair. I've been watching youtube videos and everyone that has worn these have had a milky melty brown effect. 


I've always loved grey contacts. I suppose i had a soft spot for these! 

Can't wait to try them all. Will report back soon with more pictures!

Surprise Monterey Getaway!

Its been a really really long week. My husbands been basically working is ass of day and night and I haven't had a chance to see him at all. I've been eating lunch and dinner alone pretty much every night. It gets pretty lonely when you are eating alone. Not to mention you never want to go out and eat alone. I've been making simple meals at home. Rice and soy sauce, cereal, raman noodles, you know like any poor college student.  Anyways, My husband decided to go dirt biking Saturday morning and I was a little sad but its the first time he was able to relax and do something all week so of course I didn't complain. He promised he would only dirt bike for an hour, but an hour of dirt biking usually means 1 hour of prep time and 1 hour of down time. Which means a minimum of 3 hours. Alone once again I sat home and did some chores waiting for his phone call. He calls me at around 2 in the afternoon and asked me about plans for tomorrow. I told him I didn't and he instructed me to "start packing". PACKING!? What?! What do you mean? What about the dogs? Who's going to take care of them?! He said "Just do it. I have everything taken care of. I need you to pack a bathing suit, dress up clothes for night time and clothes for the next day for the both of us.." So I started packing. In my head I was asking myself... are we going to Vegas? I've been talking about Vegas a lot... so I immediately assumed Vegas. I was in the middle of packing when my husband gets home...Is everything done?! Nope. lol I had all the clothes laid out on the bed. He throws it all in a duffel bag and off we went. 


I had two guesses: Vegas or Monterey...




I guess we will see!!!


And I was right. We arrived at beautiful sunny Monterey Bay!


My Honey took me on a weekend get away at the Monterey Bay Resort and Spa.


Relaxing at the spa... :)

My babe!! <3


Cheese plate by the fire waiting for our deep tissue massages!! ^^



Beautiful night! I wish I had a better camera. I need to upgrade after returning the Canon T1i. Sigh* so depressed that i didn't properly catch this beauty.


My honey and i on our way to Dinner at the DUCK CLUB!


We had scallops for appetizer and Salad. Of course I had the DUCK!


Justin had the Lamb Chops. Yumm.


Justin's best friend really appreciates how hard working he is and paid for our dinner. He's a sweet heart. ^^


If I can say so myself...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE MARRIOTT Hotels. Love the beds, Love their sheets, Love their pillows... Just LOVE LOVE MARRIOTT Hotels!


I am also a master snatcher of hotel shampoo, conditioner, and lotion bottles. These were the same exact ones brand and kind that we used 4 years ago in Vancuver Canada. Brought back really good times. ^^ I LOVE MY HUSBAND!


All ready for a wonderful Breakfast!


Ate the wonderful shmorgishborg and headed back home. :)

Me driving home.

Working Out.

I've been looking at myself a lot in the mirror lately. I know it sounds vein but that's what this blog is all about! I've also been weighing myself a lot as well. As soon as I wake up before I shower I weigh myself. The thing is... when ever I look at the digital numbers on the scale I look at the mirror and ask myself why I weigh about 12 pounds more than I did in high school. Granted that was 8 years ago, it still does get depressing. My weight in the given week can range from 0- 5 pounds heavier. I wonder why that is? I wish someone could answer that. Anyway, the whole reason for this post is basically to inform you that I have started working out! I've been reading this other girls blog and she just inspired me. She's got an amazing body, tiny NIKKI DESUASIDO and she is able  maintain such an amazing body after having a kid! She looks like she's never had a baby before and I didn't think that was possible. I am inspired to get in shape for one day when I have a kid I can just bounce back to the way I use to be. So this is for the future me...I am working damn hard now so you could look amazing after popping out a child! ^^ My inspiration is to look like a hot mom in the future. So CHEERS FUTURE ME!!

I am about 5'4", 124lbs. I think I think I need to get to 115lbs. I am just 9 pounds away! Not too shabby! 


My goal and inspiration... :) Oh and i really want her bathing suite. >.<

First day of Fall 2010



Today is the first day of fall 2010 EVERYONE! It was around 70 degrees at the highest in my neck of the woods. Took my first midterm today. Kind of disoriented because I was only able to sneek in about 4 hours of sleep last night due to massive cramming session. But all and all it was a beautiful day. So glad its FALL!! All my favorite TV shows are back! How I Met Your Mother, Bones, Rules of Engagement, Royal Pains... and a couple of new ones I can't wait to catch: Out Sourced, Nikita...and a couple others I don't remember names for.Oh and HOCKEY PRE-SEASON HAS STARTED!!! GOOO SHHHARRKKKS!!! I simply can't wait till the weather gets cooler, I can't wait for the leaves to start turning Amber and Orange, I can't wait for Halloween!! EEeEEkk Its going to be a GREAT FALL this year!

On Another NOte...
Make up BLuRp~

I've been wearing the BB cream for about a week now and I really really like it. I haven't broken out or anything and let me tell you... My face is very very sensitive and prone to breaking out. So first signs are good! They say its not foundation but it looks and covers just like foundation so guess what IT IS FOUNDATION but with benefits of clearing up your acne prone skin I suppose. In a couple of post previous to this one I mentioned that I received the Missha BB cream in #31 from ebay. I thought I was pretty damn dark but this BB cream has this intense orange tint to it. Anyway, its kind of matches with my skin color and it kinda doesn't. Thank goodness it came with a sample size of the Missha BB cream #23. I mixed it together and it was perfect. So the Missha #23 has this grey cast to it. Really weird because no one has a grey undertone... so I definitely think you either have to mix the #23 with your current foundation or add bronzer powder over after you've applied it to your face. Another thing with the BB cream is its really hard to spread on your face. Unless you want to loose all the natural elastin in your face you better pair it together with a little bit of moisturizer. The sample size after a couple days was starting to get low (Missha #23) so I decided to go ahead and purchase a real bottle before I was completely out. I made the purchase over the weekend and received it today. Theres nothing like a little gift staring back at your in the mail box. I snatched it got home and opened it. So here it is!! :)

Pro's:
-A little goes a long way which means this product will last a long time! 
-It does a really good job as a foundation. It will cover up any little flaws that you might have. May it be acne scars like I have. A small red pimple formation. Don't worry it'll be gone!
-It claims that it will that it will lighten your skin tone and heal visible wrinkles and blemishes. (Can't vouch for that yet)
-It does have SPF 42 PA+++ which is pretty intense. If you ladies don't know this by now...learn it here. ALWAYS WEAR SPF under your make up. Unless your objective is to look like a old leather bag when you are older than DONT! :)

Con's:
-It doesn't really match my skin color perfectly. I have to mix two colors together to get the right result. I am a NC37 (mac terminology)
- Its pretty hard to spread on your face so make sure to add a little bit of moisturizer.

Excited for Fall!!!

Most people are depressed with fall coming around the corner. Depressed about the warm sun not hitting their skin, brightening their day, laying out in the sun, soaking in the rays. ME?! I couldn't be happier that summer is on its way! I can't wait for FALL! The leaves falling, the chill of the air, and all the cute clothes to wear! I am excited for the school year taking off, excited for Halloween, excited for the holidays filled with friends and family. Don't get me wrong! I love summer but for some reason this year fall couldn't have came sooner...

My first Post Haul!

         I've been doing a little shopping here and there lately. Shouldn't be spending a lot of money since I am currently of STUDENT status... But i did get some essentials that I want to share! 

I ran out of contacts a couple of weeks ago and have only been wearing my glasses. This was frustrating because I wasn't able to wear my sunglasses while I was driving around. Also, sometimes wearing reading glasses all the time just isn't cute. So I read around on picked up some colored contacts! ^^ These came all the way from Malaysia!


Look at the cute packaging! I got a pink piggy contact case for my black contacts and a Grey Hippo for my grey contacts! Soo damn freaken cute! ^^ Love stuff from Asia! They just seem to know how to please their customers. Anyway, I also got this really cute hand written note thanking me for my purchase! I will definitely purchase from them again. The special thing about these contacts is that you can wear them for an ENTIRE YEAR if you take care of the correctly of course!

 Another shot of the packaging. I love the little boxes. The free very cute contact lenses! So EXCITED!

Me with the black pair of contacts on. They are piercing... but i really do like them.

I was at Norstroms the other day with my TJ and Lancome had this gift bag with any purchase over $35 dollars. I couldn't resist. >.< I should have though...I guess I can always return it? I don't know. Anyway, I got this really cute bag with 6 little sample items that I really dig. The mascara is one of my favorite items and the creams are fantastic!

I was at the mall looking for some accessories to dress up an outfit I already have. I've always been intimidated by accessories, just simply didn't know where to start...when to stop!?!? Anyway, I dare to say I love these necklaces. Not sure if I can pull them off or not yet but this is definitely a start to my accessories collection.

 
I found these tops at H&M for $5.95! All of my white tank tops have some design or are see through so I decided that these items were cheap enough and HELL I never wear pink. But for $ 5.95 I sure am willing to TRY!

So I purchased this jacket way before its time when I was still working at Wells Fargo Bank. GOD, That was like two, three years ago. Anyway, I've always thought it was too long. I pulled it out the other night and paired it with a pair of leggings and the white H&M tops with the feather necklace and it just looked Amazing! 

Makeup BLuRp~
I've been living Viciously through this other girls blog site and she's opened my eyes up to a lot of things. I've always loved make up however i've never been risky. I've always played it safe. This is the FIRST tube of lipstick I've ever purchased because of her! Now my lips are HUUGGGEE and I simply haven't gotten comfortable enough to try something outrages so I started out with this. Mac lipstick in Jubilee. Very nude and subtle with a tiniest hint of pink. :) Oh PS my HUSBAND hates it when I wear lipstick because it gets on him which is also why theres been a lack of investment on these blubber sticks. I never knew how a simple glob of lipstick can change your entire look! I guess I am becoming more adventurous as I get older. Now I know why some women are soo addicted to makeup. Its like drugs but with endless options, colors, brands, without the crazy side effects... well I guess there are two: The ADDICTION, and THE EMPTY WALLET! >.<

I've been sick for the last couple of weeks and when I was sitting at home I was on youtube more than I have ever been previously and came across this item called BB cream. Apparently BB cream is the biggest fad in Asia right now. BB cream is a blemish balm, its suppose to help you with acne scars and help your skin restore its youthful qualities. I ran out of my liquid make up and decided to give this a go! Hell if i could get rid of some of these acne scars I wouldn't have to wear makeup PERIOD! So this was the last splurge I made. So far it has a really thick consistency but i'll report back when I see some results!

Next SPLURGE will be the LUMIX LX5 Camera. I've heard all kinds of raves about it. I am just waiting for it to come out at Best Buy so I can get my 10% off as a Reward Zone member and the Service plan! ^^ No more shopping from here on out. BROOOOKKKEEE >.<
