Legs!

Schick Protect  I started shaving my legs when I was in 2nd year high school. Yup that’s right at 15. So now at 25 I pretty much got the hang of it and it became a weekly thing for me. Sometimes monthly *if* I don’t need to show my legs off. Ick. I know but hey, that’s life. Unless I save up and have the hair laser-ed all off.

Anyway, I’ve been using Gillette for Women Sensor for the longest time and I am happy with it really. Clean shave and no cuts.

Then my sister bought a new razor, Schick Protect Silk Effects+ for Women. OMG. It’s so easy to use, soft to the skin when shaving, good grip, clean shave & as a bonus it comes in a pretty color and hanger so you can stick it the bathroom wall for convenience.

Nope, I was not paid to say this (maybe I should?) but really, I just want to share how good this product is, especially to those women out there who shave! The results are amazing. My legs were smooth for 3 days!!

Women should help each other out y’know! So go on and give it a try.

Many things happened for me last week. Weekdays was pretty ‘work-filled’ so I had a whole weekend planned on ME time. If you haven’t visited my blog last week here’s a quick summary of the highlights.

  1. We received our mid-year BONUS.
  2. I had my hair colored.
  3. I had my nails done (super overdue..! I pity the girl who did my nails)
  4. Ozzy had an accident. (he’s fine now)
  5. Ozzy says the darn-est things. Daddy loves who?!
  6. Watched the much anticipated movie, Sex & the City with my equally gorgeous & fab friends.

The movie was fabulous of course but it made me realize the importance of friendship and having really ‘good’ friends. You know the kind of friend who knows your flaws but loves you anyway? Those kind of treasures are hard to find in life & one is lucky to even have 3 good friends in her lifetime. I am lucky. I have friends like that.

Some may have moved to a different city, met new friends, took up different hobbies, had found love; some lost *it*, but one thing remains obvious to me (and I’m sure they feel the same way) our bond is still as strong as ever. We may not see each other everyday, or talk every time but that doesn’t mean we have drifted part, right Lao? Love. Love.

PhotobucketIsn’t it pretty?

It’s a Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvass. A friend is selling one to me for Php 18,000.00 , 6 months to pay. Great deal right?

Hehehe. Drool.

Should I OR Should I????

I always remember Jennifer Hudson’s character in Sex and the City saying he ‘Louis’ was rented & I kept laughing because she was just being real. She never pretended it was hers, she blurted it was just rented.

And when Carrie gave her a real LV bag over the Holidays, I wished at that very moment, I was Carrie’s assistant.

I don’t want a rented bag, I want it mine.

I want it real.

Wahhh, But I can’t. I have to save. I have to save for our dream house.

I am obsessed with coloring my hair. Teehee.

Can you blame a girl for wanting some make-over? No you can’t. Girls are girls, we need our little “lift-your-spirits” moments.

How’d you like it?

I love it. Next time, will go for highlights! This will do for now.

Thoughts??

I am supper happy today. I spent the entire morning in the salon. ME time. A working mom like me rarely gets me time these days.

I had my hair colored, I had my nails done and I was able to do window shopping. My hair looks okay, I wanted highlights and lowlights but I had no time and no more money so I just had a lighter base color put in. I’ll take pictures IF I’ll have a good hair day tomorrow.

So enough about hair, I am seriously getting worried about my weight. Specifically in my tummy area, no matter how I “kind of” exercise and eat a little less it still bulges. Ugly, I know. I barely fit into my size 26 jeans earlier! I am considering taking weight loss pills, I mean it can’t hurt to try right?

So all in all that’s 28 little facts about me, myself and moi. Narcissistic much? Not quite. I will accept the challenge and now I will write down 10 Facts About Me Right Now.(as in right this very moment, to give the meme a bit of a slant)

  1. I am currently blogging and checking for possible ‘tasks’ instead of uhmmm working.
  2. I was late for work ~ yet again.
  3. I am wearing blue jeans, pink shoes and white shirt with a red cherry embellishment.
  4. I have no make-up on and my hair is a mess. (but that’s OK because I am at home besides I was late as it is, no time for makeup and hair hehe)
  5. I am dizzy. Been dizzy for the past few days.
  6. No I am not pregnant.
  7. I think its because of my impacted wisdom tooth. Gotta have ‘em pulled but each tooth costs Php5T!!!
  8. I badly need a manicure, pedicure and foot scrub.
  9. The little boy bumped his head on the floor earlier while his yaya was watching him. I feel like it was my fault that he got hurt. Even if its not, many times I feel it’s mine because I am the mom I should know better. Don’t you feel that way too?
  10. Lastly, I was moved to tears 5 minutes ago with what hubby sent me regarding the China Earthquake where acts of love & kindness helped many to survive the tragedy. There are silent heroes everywhere and they should be honored and remembered. Read more… »
