things that I like much

things-that-i-like-muchI really like things that sparkles specifically jewelry. It’s not necessarily diamonds; it could be other gems or birthstones. I love checking Holsted Jewelers because it provides exclusively designed jewelry, gifts and accessories. They adhere to strict quality-assurance guidelines to assure every item is created to the highest standards, and then inspected twice before the items are delivered. They offer wide assortment, from tried-and-true classics to cutting-edge designs that suit any taste or budget.

I love fashionable costume jewelry and I found many at this place. I feel that it would not be for long before I can put a hand to even a piece of their jewelry. I will work hard to get even one of those.

letting this pass by!

Hubby went home a bit late this day. Although I feel bad since he left me alone with so many things to do, I can’t argue with him. I convinced him earlier this day to accompany me to my friend and for a picture taking. He did not bother to complain despite the fact that our schedule is full packed. For that, I can’t argue with him as well. Plus, he just went to his sister that has defective computer. She is only depending on hubby in fixing computers. I guess I will just let this pass by. It would be better that way.

for my friend’s little girl

for-my-friends-little-girlI am planning to buy personalized baby gifts for my friend who recently gave birth to a wonderful little girl. I learned about her pregnancy when I am away and have no means of communicating with her. I’ve longing to congratulate her, but until now I haven’t done it yet. I am so busy with my work and job hunting.

Good thing, Babynest has everything tot-related from sentimental, personalized baby and nursery essentials to unique favors for a stylish baby shower. It offers a wide array of adorable, creative gifts for parents and their bundles of joy. Because of that, I am pretty sure that I can get the item I need for my friend’s little girl.

Tips to Look Refreshed Even You’re Tired

tips-to-look-refreshed-even-youre-tiredIf you want to look your best you need to drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, use the right products, etc. But for those of us who live in the real world (of occasional bar hopping and/or pulling all-nighters for work), getting those eight hours of shuteye just isn’t always possible.  Luckily, you don’t have to stumble around looking as tired as you feel. With these makeup and skin care tips, you’ll look awake and refreshed, which may confuse people when you doze off during your morning.

  1. Don’t pile on too much cream before bed; it’ll just increase puffiness. Instead, use a lighter gel with peptides or botanicals.
  2. Pop your eye cream or an eye mask in the refrigerator for five minutes to make it cool. Not cold though, that may pop blood vessels. Leave it on for 20 minutes. You can also use cold tea bags. Black or chamomile teas are best for their anti-inflammatory properties. To do it: Make tea. Drain excess, pop in fridge and once cool, place on lids.
  3. Exercise if you have time to get your circulation going. Hang upside down or do some downward dogs — it’ll help reverse the blood flow and help with dark circles.
  4. Chances are if you’re tired and/or stressed out your skin will show it by breaking out or becoming severely dehydrated. The key is to not overdo makeup in either instance. Keep it looking radiant with a tinted moisturizer that has a nice healthy sheen to it. If you’re oily try a mineral powder foundation.
  5. Use a concealer that is slightly light reflective. The reflective qualities will add light and luminescence to the area.
  6. Cream blushes are great way to make skin look healthy and glowy. Apply on apples of cheeks and a tiny bit on your temples.
my perfect photo

As I pick up my pictures at the photo shop, I am so happy to see that it’s perfect. They edited my perfect for a picture perfect. My scars are gone, flawless skin and a taller nose. It feels like it’s me, but it’s not really me. But, I think it’s ideal since I am applying for a job. I should place the best picture in my resume to get the attention of my potential employer. Although it is not the basis for getting hired at least I can create an impression that I prepared for it.

after a hard day work

after-a-hard-day-workAfter working so hard during the day with muscles aching, it is so nice to think about spending family vacation to relax. I have been daydreaming that I am in Azul Beach Hotel located on secluded white-sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya, pampering myself together with the rest of the family with surprising indulgences and the elite level of service. Combine it with luxurious accommodations, invigorating entertainment and the classy snap-to service that responds to discerning travelers’ requests (whether indulgent or diet conscious). I also see myself sipping margaritas served by a Beach Butler on a private stretch of sand during sunset. And eating food exquisitely prepared by expert chefs. That I can call life.

a stray kitten

a-stray-kittenThere was a stray kitten outside the house two days ago. The poor guy is crying the whole night and the whole day for its mother to come. But, no matter how loud he cried no mother came. I decided to adopt him. However, it’s frightened and run away whenever I get near. We tried catching him to give him food since he is out there the whole day with no food. But, it took off and even scratches my legs. I feel a bit sad that I was not able to take care of the poor thing. Now, he is nowhere to be found.

hindrance to attend tradition school

Some of my friends already took master’s degree after graduation. They did not bother to work or even do training. They are lucky their parents have money to send them to school over and over again. But, I don’t have that luxury. I have to work to earn a living and support my family. However, I feel envy and want to take a master’s degree as well.

hindrance-to-attend-tradition-schoolMy current situation hinders me to attend tradition school since I have my family and my work to attend to. The best possible way that is open to me is take up online degree at Capella University an accredited, fully online university and the leading online graduate school for working adults. It offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, psychology, public health, and public safety. From that I can choose whatever degree fits me best.
