Labor Day Weekend Haul !

Finally ! A 3-day weekend has arrived and couldn't have got here in a more perfect timing. It is also a payday weekend and I am extremely excited to share new items I bought this weekend. I didn't buy a lot, but I am still happy with what I bought. On Saturday I finally invested in a lamp so ill probably do more video tutorials on my youtube.com channel soon because I have better lighting. Besides that I also went cardigan shopping, but that wasn't much of a success. My search for a purple;yellow;pink cardigan is still on-going, but I did buy a light brown almost khaki colored long sleeve that is super comfortable and its great for now since I don't have a brown one yet. I also bought this really cute crochet knitted vest, I will post pictures later. Another great healthy thing I did was re-stock my refrigerator with more Silk Soy Milk. yay ! I'll be back on my health diet thing again and to test out if soy milk really makes your boobs bigger??? What are your thoughts on that??? Well, anyways, I also bought more nail decor and super cute nails that deserve to be in the category of "kawaii" ! XD ! Besides that I am also satisfied because I drank my yummy BLUEBERRY MATCHA 3 nights in a row which may be kind of bad, but I was craving it. I'll post a blog about it on my other blog page about my personal everyday life for those who don't know how a Matcha tastes and my love for it. I also purchased these super cute unique hair clips and a few deco products. ^-^

I purchased the Sally Hansen products from KMart and these cute Japanese nails from a store at our local Mall. The decor/nail decals I bought at a new fashion store in Tumon.


These were the clips I was mentioning earlier. I will post a picture when I use them. All you have to do is stretch them because they are like springs and attach them to your hair and let go and it automatically tightens and to remove just do the same thing. They stay on your hair and don't tangle and they are cute !


A cute deco phone strap I bought at one of my favorite stores called 'Art Box'. Most of my "kawaii" products I purchase from them and the Japanese lady who owns it is super nice and always gives discount and she is bunch of fun. I am also in the process of going back into making these items as another hobby so I should have another thing to blog about. What can I say, I'm going through a creative peak in my life.


I also purchased another cocktail ring. I am actually supposed to wait till I go back to the Philippines this January, but I couldn't help it. I had to have it. I also tried my new Japanese nails. I had to file them shorter though because they were kind of long and I prefer more short nails.

Nail Art !

I have a new hobby and I guess you can call it another slight addiction of mine. Well, I am getting into the art of doing nails. For now I buy pre-made false nails and I rock a new design every week just so I can get used to the idea of having longer thicker nails on. I am also currently in the process of ordering and buying my own acrylic supplies such as powders, brushes, tips, etc. I want to go further and learn to apply acrylic nails myself and add the gems or jewels or even make my own designs. Some people may ask, "why don't you just stick to your natural nails and paint a design yourself?" My answer, "I really suck at painting designs, but I do practice, but for now I'll stick to this because this is what I want." I was actually never into doing my nails before because I didn't want anyone to pay any attention to them, but I guess I had a sudden change of heart. It could be because of my interest of Taiwanese actress, Rainie Yang. I've noticed in all of her music videos she has her nails done and they are really pretty and not too much, but beautiful yet simple. Also, I do live on an island where tourism is what boosts our economy and a lot of the Japanese women who come over here are very pretty. They have their hair nicely colored, make-up, and nails. They are more into the louder crazy designed nails and sometimes they are longer. I prefer mine shorter though like a regular french tip size, but I guess those were my inspirations to start. I also want to own my own business one day in the future and I want to be well rounded in my business so that's why I am learning nails now. I already know hair and make-up, but I want to add on nails as well. My collection and designs are still few, but I am slowly buying more and more. I also change my nail designs every week and I love the feedback I receive from it. ^-^



The nails I currently have on now. These are probably the most simplest nails I have, perfect for everyday, a French Manicure with a little sparkle and that 1 gem added to only 1 finger is a nice touch.


I just bought these yesterday and I know they are not as simple as the ones I've been buying lately, but I had to buy it because it reminded me of Rainie Yang's nails on one of her music videos. Maybe I'll use these next week and let's see what kind of feedback I receive.



After I have more practice I plan on accomplishing these designs or at least buy nails exactly like these. Some of them may be a bit extreme, but I really adore them. What do you think about their beauty???


If finger nails can look beautiful so can toes.
