and counting....

Hi everyone!  I'm really glad to be quite more "active" in my blogspot.  I just hope that I could be more active especially it's yuletide season.  I would really love to share to you my thoughts and my involvement on any activities ÜÜÜ

Anyways, my hubby and I just celebrated our 7th year of marriage.  We actually got married twice (civil and church) but our civil marriage was the one registered.  We got married on December 8, 2005 and we had our marriage blessed on January 7, 2006.  We are now even blessed with two kids (both girls), 6 y.o and 2 y.o.

We I wanted to have a formal dinner to celebrate but then I thought, it would be nice to celebrate our day with the kids.  So, I booked an overnight stay at Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel.  But before going there, hubby (who just came from work) surprised me with a pretty bouquet and a post card (from his planner) with sweet words

He really amazes me.  I must admit, he wasn't that thoughtful.  He is (and is constantly) sweet but he was never the flowers and chocolates guy when we were just in girlfriend/boyfriend stage.  I only received a single love letter from him during those times.  But as years have passed, he kind of learn to go out of his "shell".  I just recently found out (from him) that he was under pressure looking for a present for my birthday (which is this month also).  Since I am so into makeups and brushes now, he admitted that he would spend 20 minutes of his lunch break to go to beauty shops or makeup stalls just to look for makeups or brushes that would make a great birthday present ÜÜÜ how sweet is that!!!  He didn't mind the weird and questionable look from salesladies whenever he asks something ÜÜÜ 

So back to where we were, we celebrated at the beach with the kids.  Although it wasn't some posh beach resort here in Cebu but the smile on my children's face and moment we were there were priceless.

 

I am so glad to have found a man who, despite my flaws, still thinks that I am perfect in his eyes.  We may not be individually perfect but being together makes everything perfect.....Happy Anniversary my love and wishing and hoping to celebrate more anniversaries with you and the kids

ÜÜÜ stay happy everyone ÜÜÜ

my first BDJ Box

hi everyone!  I'm here to share to you the first ever box that I got for myself Ü  I have seen quite a lot of "boxes for subscription" but I was quite hesitant coz I might not find it worthy of.  But when I saw BDJ Box's site, I just got this feeling that this will be a very good try to subscribe.  Aside from the good reviews from other bloggers, the people behind BDJ box's beauty ministry are skilled when it comes to beauty, fashion and all that jazz ÜÜÜ see them here.  So without further ado, here is it!!!

The box came so fast.  After subscribing, the package arrived after 2 days.  Now that's fast!!!  I was even worried coz after paying thru paypal, I didn't change my delivery address from my house to my office.  I emailed them about it and they replied right away.  Talk about speed huh ÜÜÜ so anyways, here are the goodies that i got:

I really happy to see quite a lot of products for the amount that i paid....SO SO HAPPY!!! 

So, for you out there, get yourself a taste or two of their box! ÜÜÜ


ÜÜÜ stay happy everyone ÜÜÜ

the rosey brush set

There are two other brush set.  The Dainty Brush Set (in purple) and Classy Brush Set (in blue).  Each brush set costs P1000 but for the next batch, these sets will cost at P1,200.

I chose the Rosey set because of these two:

two blending brushes

The Rosey Set comes with 2 blending brushes.  I am a sucker for blending brush and i prefered it than the eyeshader brush.

I love the brushes because it didn't bleed after washing it for the first time.  The brushes are all soft and have no funny smell.  As usual, transaction was smooth ÜÜÜ after paying, the following day, my brush set has arrived.  Ms. Rosenn has always maintained that (basing on my previous experiences) so kodus to her.

All in all, Beauty Cosmetics brushes are worth your money.....but hey, they aren't that expensive too.  So, go and get yourself one of their brushes.  I just have one wish from them, i hope they would open a Paypal account hehehe!!!

Thanks again Ms. Rosenn.  Will be buying more soon ÜÜÜ


ÜÜÜ stay happy everyone ÜÜÜ
