Vain pic for the day:

After reading a few chapters of The Secret, i've been contemplating on what to put on my inspiration board. To my surprise, I had taken this picture way way back before I even had my hands on that book. The following pic is just a photo taken from a page of Candy Mag. :D

Cool isn't it? What about you? Any inspiration board ideas?

Turn over a new leaf

My green thumb is baaack! I've got these seeds from Baguio City ranging
from P5 to P10 each. The two lovers cost me P5 each and that other one
on the right costs P10 each. Don't ask me the name of the one on the right
because I forgot. I think it starts with the letter G. If someone knows
what it is, don't hesitate to tell me!

Here are the pics after approximately one month:

Here are the two lovers:

And here's the plant whose name I do not know at all. LOL

I'm just annoyed that after I took these photos, some one scattered them in front of my house.
The soil... They were everywhere. I hope they're still gonna grow.


Speaking of leafy stuff. I've been commissioned to make a gift certificate and flyer for Looseleaf Teashop. If you guys haven't heard of it, you should visit it in front of UE Recto! I think the teashop is underrated and not well advertised. Seriously, their Taro and Wintermelon are to die for!

Anyway. Enough of that talk as I am starting to crave for one.
Here are my works!

Upclose..

The printer really sucks.

The flyer I made!

Not bad for a beginner right?

Beauty Hack: Fake Bangs

I forgot to post this waaay back. I bought these clip-on bangs online (but it is also sold in malls now). It's really great for people who don't have bangs but wanted to have one without sacrificing their hair!

Think: Instant bangs.

Here's a pic of Kim Kardashian with these on

How it works:

Actual Product:

Back (those clips will keep the bangs in place)


Wearing brown clip-on bangs:

Really looks like my real hair!

Photobucket
Very natural looking! :D

Wearing black clip-on bangs:

Pros:
These are great! They hold on to the hair very well. Again, I find this very convenient for those who don't have bangs or those with uncooperative bangs. 

Cons:
However, for the Philippines' climate these things might make one feel uncomfortable because these things make me sweaty. Idk. Maybe it's just me.

Also, these things might look fake on people with damaged hair because it is shiny. 
But with the right choice of accessories and matching hair color these are really great.

Impulsive girls, put down those scissors. Why not give them a try?

Blue Cheetah Nails!

It's that time of the year where they'll say animal prints are in.
I'm not a fan of clothings with animal prints so i've decided to design my nails instead.

Here's the result:
Photobucket

How to do it:
1.) Prepare a light base color for your nails. This one I used Chic Classic's Love Orchid in Glaze.
2.) Choose another color and add blobs to your nails. I used Caronia's Blue Chill in Frosted.
It doesn't have to be perfect. You won't need a dotting tool for this. But if you are having trouble with adding them i'd suggest you use chopsticks or toothpicks. In my case I just used the brush itself. Make sure it is thin enough so it would dry easily. Concentrate on a side and leave a blank space for the base to peep.
3.) Here's where the fun part begins. Outline the sides of the blobs. My tip is don't make it too perfect. It's best when you make the corners a little bit thicker on the other side. I used a nail pen for this but a nail art brush is also good.
4.) Lastly, protect your design by using a clear nail polish. Any brand would do.

Optional: Taking long to dry your nails? Try Bobbie's Quickdry!

I hope you enjoyed this post and have fun painting your nails!

MEG's visit to UP Diliman!

After my MS1 class with Jyasu we walked to Long Island to have our lunch.
While we were walking there we saw this huge tent and a bus. It was MEG promoting Tupperware Brands Color Collection. I've heard raves about their BB Cream w/Gluta so I browsed around.


I'm the one wearing that short grey dress...

MEG Magazine was giving away back issues & lanyards for people who liked their Facebook page.
Pretty cool right? I'm not maarte and I have this "girl-crush" on Lovi Poe so why not?

Muy caliente!
