For the past months, I've been watching Melissa up close. Before you judge me and take me for an obsessive stalker, I'm talking about the one you can find at ZALORA Singapore . I'm the type of online shopper that keep tabs on my wishlist and thinks many times over before buying something that usually don't go on sale. This is the case with me about Melissa shoes. A few years ago, I only found out about Melissa through other bloggers posting about this supposedly comfortable yet trendy shoes. At the time I find it unattractive, as the designs available seemed more appropriate for a child. Don't shoot me - that's how I felt before. However, as time passed by, I noticed their line evolved into what I would definitely buy. And now, I want to share with you my wishlist and why each has a soft spot in my heel - oh wait, it should be my heart hehe! Gold is the selling point of this shoe. I'm a sucker for gem-colored shoes and if it's gold- or silver-...

I could say that hair styling is my Achilles' heel. I don't know why but it's something I really struggle to be good at. As much, and may be more, as other women say they would love to learn how to put on eye makeup as prettily and boldly as I do, I'd be so thrilled to be mentored to be even decent at taming my own mane and maybe even make it look interesting. So I really consider it a treat when I sport a beautiful hairstyle. Last Sunday, I sang for the children service at our church - Hope Church Singapore. The worship team, made up of musicians and singers, can consult with the image ministry to check how they look before they come on stage and minister to God's people through praise and worship. I'm very glad and privileged to be a part of both these teams - as a singer for the worship team and a makeup artist in the image ministry. In the image ministry, there is this sister that's got mad braiding skills. Her name is Jhess. When I asked her to put...

I know this blog is dedicated to makeup but in the recent months, I can't help but be obsessed with shoes like never before. I'm the type of gal that can live on two pairs of shoes - one for work and another for going out. But lately, I've purchased boots, wedges and flats. I guess I'm a late bloomer when it comes to discovering my taste in fashion. Or perhaps am reinventing myself. Whatever it may be, my feet are pretty happy. Although, as always, my wallet isn't. LOL I'm not sure what it is that attracts me specifically to a certain type of shoe yet but I know I'm staying true to myself with my choices. Take for example these: Usual thing that comes to my mind when it comes to buying shoes is, "Can I use it for work?" No surprises there. But I must say, I'm tired of wearing black shoes all the time. Bright colored footwear is a very good topic to break the ice with a colleague you bumped in the hallway. (^_~) And if you know me, I ...

Fantastic Friday pretty readers! I thought I'd wake up my blog with a short and sweet post. (^_^) The hubby has been nagging me to clean his toenails for the 3rd time this week. You guessed right, I gave in finally hehe. After doing my wifey duty, I thought, "Why stop there? Slap on some colorful mani!" And so, Deborah Lippmann On The Beach and Ciaté Kaftan united to make me one happy lady! What seemingly small thing put a smile on your face or perked you up today? Have a blessed and restful weekend ahead!

Happy New Year beauties! To be honest, I'm not sure if I still have readers. I write in, like, interval of months. (sighs) Oh well, if you are reading this now, know that I appreciate the precious time you allot to browse what I've cared to put up here hehe. Ok, so moving on... There's no surprise in the title - it is about Victoria's Secret. That is not to say I wasn't surprised when I saw this sale ad in my inbox! And indeed a timely and pleasant one! (^_~) I think it is on the 4th day of the sale that I grabbed some goodies at their branch in Wisma Astria. Here's the loot: The damage: S$49 for 5 cotton panties! For such great quality, sexy, pretty and most importantly, comfortable undies that's very reasonably priced. Did I mention their sizing makes me feel smaller as well? I'm a medium there hehe. How I wish they carry bras in Singapore as well! If you are thinking of replenishing or updating your undies wardrobe, was...

Yes, it's that day of the year again waited upon by eager shoppers -- Black Friday. I think it's one of the best times of the year to hoard for almost anything and everything, especially if you're based in the US. Why? Across all kinds, brands and range of products and items there are just so much variety to choose from at highly discounted prices. This "shopping holiday" is strategically practiced just a few days shy from the Christmas gift-giving season so shopping for yourself and loved ones (and may be for your enemies too!) just got a lot more convenient, timely and cost-effective. Good news for Singapore-based gals like us, Black Friday has definitely rubbed off on some local companies who's merrily jumping onto the sales bandwagon. Nowadays, this is even sweeter as the deals are not only available at our favorite or popular department stores and boutiques but available dominantly in online shopping! I'm a busy momma -- what with my crazy workload...
