Feb.- March Haul (Picture Heavy)

Disclaimer:  I purchased all these with my own money and nothing was given for free.

Now that I got that out of the way, onto the hauls.   Some of these were supposed to have arrived last Christmas but I only got them this week :-(  The Christmas gifts ended up being graduation gifts for my little girl and just regular gifts for my hubby and myself.  I just didn't include those for them in these photos.

From Drugstore.com: Fresh Minerals Pressed Foundation and Blush, Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm, Go Smile whitening toothpaste kit (been lemming for this for more than a year but it cost $30!  Was finally able to get it on sale for $15 only, weeh!), antibiotic ointment and random ELF stuff (clear mascara/brow wand and lipgloss) coz I needed a couple more $$ to get free shipping.  The red Go Smile thing is a crappy mirror given as freebie.

Catching Up!

Hello everyone!

Time to catch up.  I am still feeling a bit under the weather but nothing serious.  My allergic rhinitis is making me relapse with my difficulty of breathing.  It's now more of an annoyance because it hinders me from doing most things.  Additional medications too.  I'm now a walking pharmacy with all the meds I'm taking :-(

Plus the heat!  El Nino is not only affecting our poor farmers...it's also affecting my (our) health...making it worse.  I do have a ton of stuff to try out but I just don't want to put anything on my face nowadays.  Just my light moisturizer, sunblock and lipbalm daily and that's it.  Plus or minus the powder, lip gloss and blush when going out and nothing else.  I haven't even opened at least half of my hauls.

I did have a haircut last February again from Tony & Jackey.  I can't say I'm not experimental with my hair coz I always have a different hairstyle like 2-3x a year...from long to short!  And here's another one:

I'm still alive...barely.

Hi everyone!  Remember me?

I haven't blogged in ages although I do have a lot of drafts and hauls.  My latest hauls were probably the most major ones in my lifetime :-)

The past month has been uber busy.  My relatives from the US have come and gone.  We had lots of fun during my cousin's (we're more like sisters) wedding (with duty free shopping on the side).  I did my mom and aunt's makeup for that event (oh boy, that was scary for me!).  We went swimming and had non-stop eating.  Good thing I didn't gain weight.  I lost it instead.

At the same time I've also been busy with my little girl since she will be graduating this Saturday.  Another one of my cousins will be getting married in 2 weeks time and she is their flower girl (3rd year in a row, make that 4 years in a row since next year she will be a flower girl again to another cousin's wedding) so we've had fittings for her dress and I had to look for shoes and stockings for her (and shoes for me too).  Plus, I had to look for summer classes for her.  She decided on swimming lessons this summer instead of the golf clinic we intended for her to take.  That's okay though since she has a golf coach year round.
