January/February Favorites and How I Organize My Agenda

Hello everyone,

Happy Lunar New Year!!! I hope everyone have a healthy and prosperous new year!

For the month of January and beginning of February, there are two products I have been loving. They are both worth mentioning and if you have the opportunity to try them, I would say go for it.

The first product is a new shampoo and conditioner made by Clear (Scalp and Hair Therapy). I bought these from Target for $4.99/bottle. Currently, Target is having a promotion if you buy 3 bottles, you get a $5 Target rewards card. Good deal! After washing my hair, I can feel immediately how soft it was and it also smells good. There are different types of shampoo and conditioner to choose from to accommodate the different types of hair texture.
For that price, it doesn't hurt to try it.

The next product that I would like to rave about is the Narisup Lip Care Essence. After trying this out, I cannot go anywhere without it. This product can only be bought online at Sasa.com or on eBay. They are so hard to find. On Sasa.com, they are out of stock. They are made from Japan and since they were so hard to find, I had to order a backup of each. They are very glossy, but not too sticky at all. It does make your lips look fuller (duck lips) because of shiny and glossy effect. There is no scent and if there is, I don't smell it. Another great product to check out!


Since it is a start of a new year, I want to be organized and set goals for myself.
For me to write on something everyday, I want it to be nice and pretty. So, here is a peek at how I organized my agenda...

I have two different notebooks and an agenda for the year.



The Daily Drama notebook is for anything I have in mind that I want to do such as tasks, blog topics, shopping list, etc.

The notebook with the owls is for work to take down notes.

Then I have my agenda where I write down everything for the month, it can be both work and personal. I have decorate some pages already and by the end of the year, this book should be very colorful. 
I had to find a page where there is nothing written on it... don't want to show anything too personal now....

For this planner, I use colorful pens 

and cute shape paper clips

with cute little sticky notepads in case I need to write down something random as a reminder.

So, this is my agenda/planner..... it makes me wonder what other people do to spice up their planners besides having something plain.

Until next time, 
stay healthy,  beautiful, and inspired.

Song of the moment... why can't all guys think like Bruno...

"When I Was Your Man"
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

Countdown to Christmas: 22 Days

Hello everyone,

I am in love with a product that I picked up from Lush a month ago! I have never felt or smelled anything this good. It feels luxurious like my skin have been soaked in a bath of rose petals. I would love to get unlimited amount of this body conditioner. The one I have here is the Ro's Argan.


For a small container like this, it cost $32.95. It's so expensive that I use it sparingly. The body conditioner is meant to be used after you have washed your body with soap. This will be the last thing you apply before you get out of the shower. A little goes a long way. After washing, slather a small handful all over your body and rinse. Gently pat dry and you will end up with soft, rose-scented skin. There is no need to apply additional moisturizer to your body unless you choose to.

It's been almost a month and I used it everyday. I still have some left and will repurchase another one, but I am still not happy about the cost. If I had to choose a signature scent, this will be it.


Other items that I have purchased a month ago are the Estee Lauder nail polish. The packaging is great as expected for the price that you are paying for and the colors are very opaque. With a top coat, it last about 5-6 days. Since I have good experience with them so far, I will be trying the other colors from Estee Lauder.

Color: Blue Blood

Color: Ultra Violet

Until next time,
stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.


Have a great night!

500 points Beauty Insider from Sephora

Hello Everyone,

Sephora is such a dangerous place for me. I try not go there unless I absolutely need to.... like for example, when they have friends and family discount or when they have a good selection for you to redeem your points.  But of course, just between me and you (which is everyone who is reading this blog) I tend to go more than I say I do.... isn't that what girls do? Alright, so I have been saving up my points until something really good comes out and when I saw MUFE I had to get it. Hey, it was free, I earned it! Yay, baby!

Let's see what is inside this bad girl! This package is the backstage basics.

HD Primer- I have used it before and it works well. A little bit goes a long way. However, I just can't justify spending $34 on a face primer... I will understand if it was for foundation, but I feel there are other primers out there for much cheaper. That is why I like these samples.... just wish it was in a small bottle rather than these packets.

HD powder- It is always good to apply a translucent powder after your foundation to set it and reduce shine. This is an universal shade for all skin tones. I do like this because it feels very light on the skin and works great if you are being photographed. I only use this for special occasions.

Makeup Forever Lab Shine Star Collection lipgloss in S2- It's a peachy nude lipgloss that I can never have enough. It smells good.... like peach tea if there is such thing.... and it's not too sticky. One thing that I notice is it does make my lips look slightly bigger..... that's a plus right?


MUFE Aqua eyes in 0L- black. I have several of the aqua liners and they are fantastic! It is very expensive.... well, everything from this line is expensive... I keep them in my special case just to look at or if I need to do any professional creative makeup look, that is when I will take them out to play.

The last thing in this little bag is the Smoky Lash Mascara in Extra Black.... just the way I like it. I haven't used it yet, but just by looking at the brush it is very dense. It seems like it can create clumps on your eyelashes.... just an observation. Again, I have not used it and I don't like to hate on it before I even try it.

Here is a product that I LOVE right now... at this instant... because it smells so good. Highly recommend this as a night time moisturizer. Right now at Ulta, there is a 25% off all HEMPZ item. Go there and smell this. You will probably leave with a bottle too.

Another product that I love.... but I swear it is the most expensive shampoo and conditioner ever!!! Tsubaki! Luckily, they were on sale or else I am not going to pay $16 a bottle (It's not that big either so the price is just outrageous). I got this package (Shampoo, conditioner, and a hair treatment) for $26.  I'm going to save these bottles and just buy the refills!

Until next time,
stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.

Have a great night!

March favorites

Hello Everyone,

Dang! The month of March went by quick!
Here are my favorites from last month and since I love them so much I will continue to use them for the rest of Spring.

Mint color nail polish from China Glaze in Re-fresh Mint. This is a popular color for Spring.



Fresh Sugar Lychee and Brown Sugar eau de parfum- anything with the name Sugar is a favorite scent of mine. I wear these two scent 85% of the time. The scent is not too overpowering and at the same time it is sweet/fruity. Definitely a day time wear, but I like to wear this for all occasions.

Along the Fresh line, I also like their tinted lip balms. These are expensive for lip balms but they feel like butter on your lips. I only buy these when there is a discount from Sephora because they are luxury items. I got Sugar Plum and Sugar Honey. Honey is my favorite out of all the colors and Plum will give my lips a bit of color which I like. They all have SPF 15. Reminds me of the Revlon Lip butters but smoother and nicer packaging.


Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Shadow pencil: Midnight Cowgirl, Morphine, Narc, Clinic, Sin, and Lit. These can be used as eyeliners or as eyeshadows. They do stay on for a long time without creasing. Sometimes I would just use one or two colors on my eyelid and call it a day. Initially, it was hard to apply because they were a bit dry, but after a few usage it has gotten better. When they say 24/7 they are for real!!! Once the product dries, it's not going anywhere so you need to blend it quickly.


Now that it is getting dark later, I like to get my workout in by jogging around the lake and doing some weight lifting to get toned up for summer.

Have a great night!
