Is It Too Late?

Growing up, I've always wanted to play a musical instrument. At least one. I played ukelele (spelling?) and was wanting to step it up by playing banjo but I never really got too far with it. I asked my brother to teach me with their guitar, but that didn't happen.

So now that I am older, I still have that hope, especially when I found out that my husband played before. So I will try learning the piano keyboard. Hopefully he can teach me at least the basics. It shouldn't be too hard, I think. Hope it isn't too late for me yet, is it?

I need falsies

Unfortunately, I am not one of those lucky girls gifted with long lashes. But thanks to Karl Nessler (yes, I googled it) who thought about inventing false lashes. It's just a matter of learning how to put them on. 

So, I decided to try the free Bobbi Brown Long Wear Shadow stick in color 'shadow' that I got from Sephora (i love being a Beauty Insider!). I thought this would be good time for me to practice putting false lashes to complete the smokey eye effect that I was 'trying' to achieve.

Practice means perfect, right?! Hopefully, I'd be able to perfect this soon.

Power of Make-Up

My son asked me, "why do you spend so much time putting make-up on? For me, nothing changed on your face." I told him, "son, make-up should not change one's face. Rather, improve the beauty that one already have. I know it doesn't make sense to you. But let me put it this way - make-up makes me happy! And that will always remain a mystery to some people, especially men." Surprisingly, it kept him shut. Such a smart kid to understand that he will never get the answer he wants, so why bother ask again.

Hint! Hint! Hint!

It’s almost my birthday! Another year to celebrate life and youth because for me, it is another year younger (definitely not older). At 25 (again) I could say I’ve done a lot in my life. Wish I could have done more but I can only do so much at a time. And I am a strong believer of “everything has its own time and place” so I don’t really push for things to happen. I just savor each moment while I’m in it.

Birthdays mean gift-giving (receiving for my part). And if you are one of those people who just can’t resist getting me a gift, I can assure you, I’m not hard to please. I’ve got my long list but I really really love personalized gifts. So on the top of my list is this customized shot glasses by Glass with a Twist that is just too fab to pass. If you know me, you know I love to drink. So, yes, a cute little shot glass with my name perfectly engraved on it will definitely make you my bestfriend! What I love about this specific shot glass is it is permanently engraved as they are actually carved into the glass surface. They will never wash off so it will definitely last forever. And did I mention how much I love personalized gifts?

I will also take gadgets, makeups, purses, shoes, and the list goes on....

Hope that’s enough hint for ya! Thank you in advance!
