i know i've been seriously neglecting my blog for months now. my apologies to any of you out there who are waiting for my updates. lately i've lost motivation on continuing to put up any posts. i've started blogging in 2008 (if my memory serves me right) and at that time, i just really love to write about my passion for makeup and other things beauty-related. however, the combination of workload, church responsibilities as well as my distaste for more and more blogs getting commercialized (read: posts that are pure endorsements instead of honest and unbiased reviews which blogs were known for once upon a time) contributed to my laziness to post. i'm glad to report though my love for anything girly didn't fade. if you follow me in FB, Twitter or Instagram, you'd know what i mean. still, i want to make it up a bit by putting up this short update.  i don't really have a central theme to this post as i've literally just thought of doing this post improm...

Happy weekend! It's a gloomy day today. The sun barely peeked through and the rain pitter-pattered. But no amount of bad weather stopped my daughter and I from looking forward to spending girl time! We watched Breaking Dawn Part 2, just the two of us, and it was awesome! excited during Burger King breakfast - a few minutes away from epic conclusion of the Twilight Saga! If you still don't know, on weekends I choose to tackle topics besides "serious makeup/beauty talk" and just share what I love. I call these posts MWAH - Making Weekends Absolutely Heartwarming. Onto the movie - we loved it a lot! It would've been perfect if it weren't for all the graphic display of affection but other than that it was cool! This story may be flawed but Edward doesn't fail to mesmerize me as Jacob does for my daughter haha. I'd like to mention specifics but just in case you haven't seen it, I don't want to spoil it for you. *wink* Speaking of spoi...

I mourned the day my MAC Mercenary  died on me. OK it's my bad; I put it in my makeup bag without proper protection and the next thing I knew, the bottle shattered and the contents poured out like madness! The point is, I miss it. I never really took a liking to MAC nail lacquers, as they are mostly misses that hits, but that one I loved loved loved so much. I'm a bit picky with gold polish so I treasured it very much. It's LE so there's no hope in getting another now, one that is reasonable of course because if I'm mad enough to really want one I could succumb to ridiculous offers at eBay, if one's even available there. With that said, I was thrilled when Luxola.com brought Nefertiti into their Deborah Lippmann line. I've been wanting many DL polishes since I became a nail polish addict and this is just one of my lemmings. I grabbed one as soon as they made it available for purchase.
