Midnight Disco Balls

2009-02-09T22:01:00.000-08:00

So I was doing nothing and bored (of course!)
I dont know about you, but when I'm bored..this is what I do.
I play around with my stash!
This is what I came up with.

Why only 1 ball? Well..I'm not THAT bored :P So I just messed around with one eye.

On another note...I checked my MUA today and realize that I havent been swapping in a while! I've been reading about girls here been swapping their cute bottoms off :) I wanna join toooooo....so do check out my shiet on MUA and lemme know if you would like to arrange sumtin up.

So what do you guys think about MAC and Hello Kitty collection so far? Yay? or Nay? I dont know..I'm starting to get bored of it! Yea even before it launches..too much spotlight i guess?? While I was browsing on ebay (looking for cheap shiet and waste my money on it, since I got nothing better to do...yea rite!) Lookie what I found!
A collaboration between MAC and ebay for some Hello Kitty designer dresses
http://cgi.ebay.com/Dress-33-for-MAC-Hello-Kitty-Designer-Dress_W0QQitemZ200307585003QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Dresses?hash=item200307585003&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A4|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A200
So I assume they're legit, BUT look at the seller feedback?!? not even 100% uhm...got me thinking there!

Boring stuff

2009-02-06T09:17:00.000-08:00

Ok..so here I am at Peet's early in the morning, since 7 to be exact! The bf dropped me off early here since he needs to go to Calpoli to attend his orientation (boring stuff). Feel free to skip this entry if you're expecting some fun shiet :p
I'm just wondering..any of you girls own iPhones? Mine has been acting up like a mofo! I have my 3G on and all that, but when I try to connect to a website it says " ..can't open the page, cause you're not connected to the Internet.." blabla something like that you get my point?!
It pissing me off! I'm using it now, but I tweaked it here and there so the connection now has that E next to AT&T bar up there (instead of 3G logo)
I know shiet about electronic...well beside using it :p

Ok...enough bitchin :p

I wanna know what you guys think about MAC HK collection...I might pick up some items from it. F flowers for valentine..gimme the Moolah and make this girl even happier :p

Medieval

2009-02-02T16:48:00.000-08:00

So me and the bf went to Medieval Times on Saturday. Honestly that was our first time there, so we really dont know what to expect. As of now they are offering a free ticket of equal or lesser value when you purchase a full price ticket...of course my cheap ass cant resist that :P
I was thinking..how bad can it be? Well one thing for sure at least if its that bad I dont need to pay that full amount of 50 bones per person!

We got there pretty early, but people already start lining up. What I like about that place is, they have this bar area called "knight club" get it? lol..cheesy aiyee..who cares I got my fix of alchy for the night and more!

(Yea thats my annoy face)

We ordered pina collada (sp?) it was ok..little bit on the blehh side. The mixer doesnt taste right IMO. I think its also because I'm such a cosmopolitan girl, so pina collada just wont cut it for me :P We ended up tossing half of the drink, cause we couldnt finished it..there goes your 25 bucks drink!!

The food they served there also pretty blehhhh (its a dinner and show place). Chicken pretty bland..almost everything are! Thank God I didnt pay full price for that shiet! But for half price like right now...I think its pretty ok..just for the sake of it you know?!
Try it if you can..its fun while its cheap(er)

MIA

2009-02-01T23:20:00.001-08:00

Hey girlies...
Sorry Ive been gone for so long. Its just my life has been very very boring lately, hence the no update! I still get some messages from you..aww how sweet :) Holla atchu Miss Tia!! Me aint no stranger..me just a very boring soul lately xp.
Actually I still need to do a review on 1 particular item (cant do a proper review before trying it out for couple of weeks dont you think?@?)
So my next post will be on that..
So thats that..just wanna let you know that I've been enjoying your posts and be a stalker or work behind the scene if you wanna put it in the nice way :P. I'm still here..just trying to get my inspirations back...
The bf also hella sick now..so thats another problem! I know I know no excuse..Anyhoo Ill find something to entertain you my loves...
Till next time..(hopefully soon enough, but dont blame me if my post just going to be very random and more on the boring side..dont tell me I havent warned you!!)
Take cares!

Finally...

2008-12-09T10:40:00.000-08:00

Hey girls..sorry for being MIA for far too long :(... Too many things happened (finished my twilight saga too...damn addiction!!), but mostly it was because of my boredom. So whats new? fill me in naw....
Ok this time I'm going to show you my small Eyeko collection and also 2 cents.
Sit tight and prepare yourself, since this is going to be a pretty long entry ;)

So..Thats that...
Lets begin..

This palette is my favorite of all..why you ask? Well its so versatile! I can pretty much carry this thing around (its tiny!) and set for the day. The colors are pretty vibrant and you can mix and match them! You do need a good base tho, that way your eyeshadow will adhere better and make the colors pop. You can also apply them wet (trust me, I asked) and in my opinion..I rather apply them dry with a good base.

This one is for those of you who dont really use dark colors. The colors are very subtle and more office appropriate. You really need to pack on the colors in order to make them vibrant, but it would work just fine if youre not me lol. For me, I like to combine both palettes for day to night looks..there endless of combo right thurr.

I like this balm..it smells so good! This isnt a medicated balm or anything, so if your lips are overlly dry go get yourself a chapstick. It will give your lips hint of rosey pink..unless you have a very pigmented lips like me...then it will only shows a little.

I remember toofaced has the same exact thing like this. Didnt work for me before..surely didnt work for me this time around. I like my eyeliner to be very bold and dark (think Mac Blacktrack) so if you like subtle eye liners..this one for you! The coolest thing about this product is you can practically use any shadows you have to create a new eye liner :) smart aiyeeeeeeeee...

Looks with the two palettes

Please insert this code when you ready to get em : E126 and tell em I sentcha ;)

So if want to try out something new..this one for you. Cute packaging, good quality products, great costumer service..happy me :D

P.S
Thanks Laura ;)

2008-11-20T10:01:00.000-08:00

Hi, Dolls
Thanks for all the get well wishes :) I'm almost back up and running again like normal , so stay tune for more craziness from me!!!
Also I received my Eyeko goodies a week ago and been messin with them for a while now...tons of look on them..
So..what's new mamas? Holla at me!

:(

2008-11-16T09:49:00.000-08:00

I've been feeling like shiet lately. I dont know if its the weather or I'm just too damn tired. Last night while cruisin around with the bf, I stopped by at Phoenix in Arcadia (all 626 girls prolly know about this ;) ) My sick ass needed hot food BAD! Since I'm asian..well my kinda food is a big ole porridge...God knows how good it was at that moment!!
Anyhoo...I also checked out that little asian convenient store where they sell Japanese and Chinese junks (that i love). Guess what I found there!!

Sorry for the blurriness..I was taking picture using my phone..and theres a guy with the sales girl watching me like I'm an idiot or something..leave me alone I'm taking pictures..not jacking you stuff lol!
Yea those pricey eye shadow palettes!! That shiet cost you almost like Chanel! They have many other things too..such as DHC, nail stuff (rhinestones, polish, ribbons for nails), snacks, magazines, stationery's and many more.

The store itself is not that big and the varieties are just ok..but since its really close by to my house..I cant complain much...better than nothing aightt mama?!?

Here's the address for Phoenix
1108 S Baldwin Ave
Arcadia, CA

Once youre there you'll easily find that little store..its by the Yogurt shop (same big open lot) right on the corner. Across the street from Phoenix they have this really good and cheap bakery too..ahhhh how lucky I am!!

Shiseido Pureness Oil Control Blotting Paper

2008-11-13T23:47:00.000-08:00

OK..I cant rave enough about this blotting paper! I have been using it for years and still going. I have combination skin and sometimes it gets very oily around the t-zone area...but this thing does it magic every single time! I tried many different brands, but always coming back to this one. It's a bit pricey, but it comes with 100 sheets in a package..that will definitely last you a long time.

I suggest you to use a blotting paper first before you touch-up your make-up. That way the paper will take away the excess oil, instead of just piling more junk on your face and clogging your pores (pimples people!). Hell, with this thing I dont even touch up! I just "refresh" my face in the middle of the day and I'm good for the day.

Where to buy
Macy's
Nordstrom

Price :$16.50

Pro:
1. Takes away your shine using just 1 sheet.
2. There's no powdery residue coming out of it like some brand.
3. Scent free.

Cons:
1.Little bit pricey to some.
2.The packaging can be a bit dirty after awhile.

You'll be Callin me..

Barry M Dazzle dust

2008-11-02T20:20:00.000-08:00

Hi dolls..hows your Halloween?! I didnt really do much, since its been too cold last weekend..and my ass doenst do well in cold weather!

Anyhoo..These are the swatches and some look I did on Barry M pigments. Its kinda ghetto lol...coz I just used whatever color i had in front of me at the moment (they kinda match..but a little bit too extreme..pardon my boredom!!).

Here are the picture of the ones that I have

L-R
82 - 78 - 84

You can get them at your local drugstore for all UK ladies..sadly its not available here for us US girls. If you really want them, you can always get them online from their website IF you dont care about shipping fee!!

Pros
1. Cheap..around $9 US moolah..
2. Pigmentation pretty good!
3. Really fine texture, theyre not chunky at all.
4. Pretty glittery (if you like it that way)
5. Many color selections!!

Cons
1. When youre feenin' you cant get em easily here!!
2. The packaging really bad! Its just matter of time before I spill everything every where! yeah theyre not dumb ass proof! But if youre good with mac pigments or any sort of pigments..then you'll do just fine.

I had my nails done last week...lookie lookie..Halloween themed...lol

Can you see mr spidey there?

I also wanna holla at miss Fuzzy!!! thank you so much for making me the winner of your contest!! cant wait cant it..I'm gon start stalkin my mail man starting tomorrow :P

Aight...imma go now..have a great week loves!!

Purple every day look

2008-10-29T23:55:00.000-07:00

This is the look I have today..trust me theyre more vibrant in person..not as crazy but just enough..

What I used..
Mac Sweetie cake palette
Lids : light pink
crease : light pink mix witht the purple
Inner crease : Stila cassis
Highlight : Chanel white e/s (forgot the name)

I still need to upload some pictures from Universal Studios Halloween horror night and some pictures on my new Halloween theme look nails :D..I also did some tut on easy smokey look and lastly I'm going to do some swatches on Barry M (maybe a look too) Whoa..so many things to do..just need to find time and courage post them lol..I'm off...

Natural...you ask?

2008-10-25T23:34:00.000-07:00

So this is my "natural" look..my way..everything about me is always about dark dark colors..

I used the brown color from Jesse's girl mineral eye shadow (MSF dupe? not so much) on my crease. I grab em when theyre having clearence sale on Riteaid..regret? Not really..theyre dirt cheap. I also applied it on my cheeks to give some subtle warm glow..did I achieve it? well..they were kinda glowy and glittery looking today.

Nars Galapagos on inner crease

Some random white eye liner pencil on my lid and top it with the cream coloe shadow from Kat Von D palette

Someone asked me.."why you dont show your whole face when youre doing your FOTD"? Ok..here's the thing..I do my eyes first in the morning, then the rest. So BEFORE I get too lazy to take some pictures I just do it as soon as I'm done with my eyes. One more thing..most of the time when I do a look..I usually do it when I'm lounging and doin nothing at home..there's no need to do the whole face for that..dont ya think?

I went to Mitsuwa today..grab me some Mandom makeup remover and some body wash (mainly for fun and to torture my bf so he'd smell like a bitch). While I was there I couldnt help myself to grab some sushi grade salmon and make some Korean style sashimi rice (hwe dup bap?)(thank you alyssa) God damn that shiet was so good!! The bf eat that shiet up like theres no tommorow!!

I also stop by at Sally's and got me some falsies..theyre on sale!! Go get them now!!

Whoa enough jabbering..I'm done..oh yea tomorrow Ima go to Halloween Horror night..fo sho!! so what are you ladies gon do tomorrow?

Ok nite nite dolls!!

Jaded eyes

2008-10-23T20:54:00.000-07:00

2008-10-13T09:41:00.000-07:00

Ok..as you all probably already know..NKOTB is making a comeback. I used to love them with ever bits of my breathing heart (yea..that cheesy!!) I would cry in front of their big ass posters before sleep..go to to their concerts..collecting all their memorabilia that I could put my hands on. This time around I'm not that extreme...but I'm feelin couple of their newest singles...

Cant go wrong...Ne-yo in it!

Ahhhh...TOO many forbidden memories here lol..maybe Imma go to their concert for the sake of my childhood's memories..yea rite!!

Not one...but two!!

2008-10-11T01:18:00.000-07:00

I'm on a roll...

Nars Persepolis
Nars Night Porter
Mac Teal Pigment
Shue Highlighter
Mac Blacktrack
Mac Engraved
Mac Jealous
Missha blue eye shadow base

I swear this is the last one..

Boredom takes me over...

2008-10-10T22:26:00.000-07:00

I dont usually do this..but I'm really bored now and dont feel like doin nothin..just chillin in my pj's and messin around with my babies...

Mac Pharaoh (Base)
Missa Yellow (lids)
Missa Purple (Mid sections)
Stila Cassis (Outer crease)
Shu Uemura Highlighter
Mac Teddy
Mac Engraved
Shiseido Eyebrow pencil

They're just a tad more pigmented in person (the color bit washed out here)...but a food base really does help..a lot!!
I dont have anything on my face lol..so just the eyes for now...
Have a great weekend dolls!!

Update on Missha

2008-10-02T00:06:00.000-07:00

So some girls were me some questions regarding the shadows...Ima answer them all at once..
1. No, I dont think I'll repurchase this again..
2. They cost $1 a pop during their store grand opening (which is right now)and $3.99 at regular price.
So some recommend me to put some colored eye shadow base under it..so out of boredom...this is what I did..

And these are the bases that I used..

L-R
Mac Hot & Sour Paint
Shiseido Hydro Powder (Plum something)
Pharaoh Paint Pot
Benefit LemonAid

I found them to be little bit "brighter" that way, but still you cant compare to other HE shadows. If you feel like getting them, do try to invest on a very good base..that way they wont go to waste. For more info just go directly to their website Missha.

More questions? shoot away!! Like it that way anyway..so I know what to talk about ;)

Missha swatch and review

2008-09-30T22:57:00.000-07:00

Here are the swatches of the shadows...

L-R
1.VL204
2.GR204
3.OR201
4.YE202
5.YE201
6.BL205

Mind you thats not my arm :P thats the SO's lol..I've been having this weird alergic reaction to something (possibly change of season..yea I'm sensitive like that!) so I dont want to put on some funky stuff on my skin.

Ok..here's my 2 cents on this brand..
Pro:
1.Theyre dirt cheap!
2.They have many selections.
3.Shimmery and glittery (if you like it that way).

Cons:
1.Not pigmented enough.
2.Some of them too gliterry for me and some too chalky.

Overall..maybe I wont be buying them again. Theyre good for those of you who like something more subtle (maybe for wash all over color. I like them because theyre cheap enough so you can play around with them, but seriously tho you could just pick up NYX and the quality and pigmentation would be better. Dont kill me for this..maybe they'll work for you.

I went to the new Missha store on San Gabe...since its grand opening they have this promotion where some of the items are $1!! So I grabbed some stuff just to try out (dont want to go out all crazy, since I'm not that familiar with the brand) and see how my skin react to it. Sadly they dont have their infamous BB cream, but I'll be sure to go back there next week to pick one up..just 'coz.
Let me know if you need to see some swatches or review.

Overall..I think the product itself pretty hit or miss, but considering theyre less then $10 each on regular price you cant really complain, cant you?!

Aight..I'm off for now.

P.S
Holla at Fabuless Beauty for the info :)

Bobby Brown Shimmer Bricks Swatchie swatchie..

2008-09-25T22:00:00.000-07:00

Ok..I really like these blushes! Not so much for BB other products, but this thing kinda one of my obsessions...sigh.

Brownie

Rose

"This shimmering, brush-on powder creates a soft, rosy glow. Sweep on cheeks, after Blush, using the Face Blender Brush. Works well with neutral, pink and rose blush shades." Source

Bronze

"The original Shimmer Brick Compact. This shimmering, brush-on powder creates a deep, bronze glow. Sweep on cheeks, after Blush, using the Face Blender Brush. Works well with neutral and deep blush shades." Source

Peony

Apricot

"Featured in "In Style Weddings" (Summer 2008). Peach to ivory pure pearl pigments in this mirrored compact creates a soft, peachy glow. Works well with neutral and peach blush shades." Source

I love these blushes, cause sometimes I just dont want to put too much on my cheeks. I usually concentrate on my eyes..so I always tone down the rest of the face (cant afford walking around lookin like a hooker at skul). I tried with many brushes..skunkie if I want it to be more subtle or buffer brush for brighter result .

Pro: They are very good products. Very versatile, since you can use them pretty much for everything. You can use it as eye shadows (there 5 different "bricks" to chose from), all over blush or highlighter. Some of them such as Rose, Apricot and Peony can be a very good blush..while Brownie or bronze would be good to contour your face. At the end of the day no matter what color youre using, they always have the lighter side on top (highlight) and the pigmented one at the bottom (contour/blush)...thats why me likey..

Con:Pricey! At $38/pop...well thats why its an addiction...at least I dont use drugs.

wohoo...

2008-09-24T22:49:00.000-07:00

I cant wait for newest season of Ugly betty!! I love that show..me and my bf (yes he watch that shiet together with me) would sit in front of the tv and basically glued to the screen the whole entire time. I dont know..I guess for me its just a perfect show..you get the craziness, comedy and fashion all in one...as for the BF..well he just like to laugh (I hope!).

Btw..last week when I went to Walgreens I also picked up Bag Balm. I dont know if you heard about this or not, but I heard it somewhere before (forgot where) and I heard its really good. I have a really dry skin and kinda chapped on my heels. This balm should heals them...at least thats what it claims.

This is what it says on the packaging

"Since 1899, Bag Balm has been the farmer's friend helping keep dairy cows from becoming chapped from the harsh Vermon environment. Its like having another hand on the farmm or a helper around the house.."

YES..it is also can be use on COWS...you should see my BF reactions.."WTF are you getting now? You ran out of make up to buy or what..you just gon toss it with the rest of you lotions?!?" Hey..its only 8 buks..it wont kill me to try!! The packaging alos kinda big (10 oz) so I'm pretty sure it will last me a long time.

What I like about it is the texture..its like vaseline, but not sticky..its just wrap your glide on your skin. I cant really say much about it, yet. Since I havent use it long enough. But hopefully this will safe me from those winter flakiness.

Ok..one thing that bug me the most is the the scent! I swear..it smells like shiet..I cant really pin point the exact scent..but it just dont smell good! It wont be a problem if you dont try to smell it, so dont!

Sephora...

2008-09-24T00:32:00.000-07:00

Im so fucking tired today!! Been running around to do some errands the whole day. Imma leave you with some videos that keep me laughing for a while...

I went to Sephora today..trying to get that funky ball mascara, but they ran out..oh well...I have a pretty decent lashes (my mom said the trimmed it when I was a baby go ahead and laugh), so I might not gon need it..But hey..I'm such a sucker for good reviews...

I was also looking for Nars newest blush "Super Orgasm" Daym it..no luck either!! I can see it available online, so why cant they put the goddamn thing at the store? I have the original orgasm..I just want to make sure that its not too similar..I dont want to have 2 similar blushes..but God knows..I might give in eventually...

I'm looking for a good tinted moisturizer...Still cant decide which one I want :( Prolly just gon follow Pink and get La mer..not like I have the greatest skin..but I feel like trying something lighter for my skin and go easy with the extra coverage. The MA at Sephora recommend me Laura Mercier..but once again Pink kinda influenced me..sigh..Oh well..I need to finish my current one anyway..still have time to think..any recommendation?

Artdeco Eye shadow base

2008-09-22T17:14:00.000-07:00

I cant rave enuff! This thing is my magic cream..the best of the best and the price also crazily cheap (around 10 Euro I guess) for something that work so good! HG HG!!

For those of you whos not familiar with this brand..well you should!! i kid I kid..this is Germany brand (so you cant find it here) So for us US girls...we can only dream..unless you can be friend with some girls from specktra or MUA (thats how I got mine) and get it from a swap or hell who am I kidding..PAY HER! I didnt realize how good it is till i tried almost every base available here! UDPP, Paintpots, shadesticks, Shadow insurance and the list could go on and on...still I keep on going back to my beloved Artdeco.

What so good about this thing? OMG..ok first of all..you only need a little tiny bit of it for your whole eye lids. The consistency is abit ticker than Toofaced, but its very creamy. This thing makes your shadow last the whole effin day with no creasing and as an added bonus..it will make the colors more vibrant too! It works for me and I have some pretty oily lids (not monolids but you know..asian lids)

What I kinda hate about this thing is..they have this cheap man perfumey scents to it...it will eventually dissappear, but I find it bit annoying..not enough to make me stop using it tho!

I have 2 jar of back ups right here waiting for me and still havent finish my old jar since couple of months ago. I didnt use it every day since I like to rotate my base (so they wont dry out) but seriously this bad boy will last you a very long time (5 ml/0.16 FL OZ)!

Usually in the morning after I put on my face products I put a little of this on both of my eyelids, then i let it dries a little while I'm doing my blush or my concealer. As soon as I'm done with everything else..I put on my eye shadow.

Pro : eye shadow stays a very long time and stay vibrant the whole time. Price quite cheap for the quality. You only need a little amount so a jar will last you a lotta months.

cons:the packaging...its kinda hard for me to get the products since I have a pretty long nails. It has scents. Its not easily accessible here :(

Overalll..its worth every penny!! Go get one.....

The Faceshop

2008-09-21T23:59:00.001-07:00

I was at walgreens the other day..while I was browsing around aimlessly I remembered about The face shop. Basically it is a very famous Korean retailer of body, bath, skin care and make-up products. The coolest thing is they claimed that most of their items are based on natural products. (source :wikipedia)

They dont have that many options, yet...well not as many as the ones on walgreens' website. They have several masks inn my store and the girl who work there even gave me 2 samples to try :P. Currently they have promotion 2 maskes for $5..Its good if you wanna try it out first.

Honestly I havent tried it out yet, but based on Intouch magazine (my weekly doze of celeb gossips..mind you) a lot of Hollywood stars like it..well if its good for them..then my ass gon try em! God..I'm such a suckkaaa!!

If you dont have any walgreens around you..just go to their website or even go directly to The face shop website. Honestly...I would love to try their cleansing wipes...but I'll try their freebies first..then decide if If I wanna pay the shipping for them or not.

I bought one more (insert useless) thing from Walgreens...but I'm too tired to post now..guess I'll do it tommorow. I'm done.....

Toofaced shadow insurance

2008-09-18T21:50:00.000-07:00

So I got my shipment from TooFaced yesterday. I dont know why it took soo long to get here *pout* They're in fucking Irvine (40 mins away from my hood). Well..I guess you cant really do much when youre getting it 30% off with free shipping lol.

I bought the shadow insurance (SI) to replace my UDPP (damn I hate that thing! but thats another story) So far I'm liking my SI..I think what makes it better then UDPP are

1. Texture wise
SI is very creamy, I think it almost feel like a concealer consistency and for me thats perfect! It blends easily into your skin so it doesnt leave any white residue like UDPP.

2. Blending
If you have UDPP you know that blending e/s on top of UDPP is a bitch! I tug and drag my skin away like crazy sometimes. SI just melts into your skin and blending is just dreamy!

3.Packaging
UDPP packaging sux!! I cut open my bottle a month ago and put it into a jar..wich is not good...bacteria..drying..nuff said!! SI packaging is very efficient..you just squeeze out the amount that you need and thats it. No cutting or chopping nessasary!!

They both really last the whole day..at least on me and around the same price range..but you know which one is my must have.

Right now they also have promotion where you can get 30% off and free shipping on any toofaced products (no limit) just use this code DCBEAUTY. I dont know when will it ends..so go grab yours now!!

Dream Dinners

2008-09-18T01:09:00.000-07:00

I just found out about this site today!! I heard about it like years ago from Foodnetwork..but by then gas wasnt that crazy and everything still very very cheap! This is such a nifty idea for me..since I spend so much moolah every month just for eating out!

I love to cook..but sometimes there's just not enough time in this world for me to to do so! I fucking hate prepping all the stuff for just 2 dishes. It gets even worse when I try to cook Indonesian cooking! That shiet need hours of preparation..with all the chopping, grinding, marinating and the whole nine yards..by the end of the day..I'm just too tired to eat!

What I like about this company is..YOU do all the cooking! Well they do all the cubing, chopping and whatnot for you..but YOU cook it and prepare it in the comfort of your own home! Whats not to like!

As soon as I get home..I checked out their website and lurk around...next thing you know..I joined their program for tomorrow afternoon :P I'm still not quite sure how the system goes, so I choose their Sample package first. It cost $75 (6 different meals for 3 portions/meals) which I think pretty reasonable. Think about it...1 dinner at a sushi place usually cost me at least $70 (I go at least once a week)!! and we go out at least 3x/week (not all sushi of course..but roughly we spend at least $30) Look at the amount of gas and time we can save with this shiet!! The full package price is around $170 and up (6 or more different meals at 3 serving each meals) and that my friend will feed you and your hungry SO, your dog maybe neighbor (when you feelin generous) for a whole MONTH! pshhh..thats what I call a good deal!!

This is a good deal for someone who doesnt have time to cook, but still want to have and feel like they make a good down home cooking from their own kitchen!! Go and check out their website for more info.

Ok enough of me tryna be Martha...IM...DONE!

So..this is supposed to be my first entry. Let me introduce myself really quick..I’m just an ordinary girl (really!) who loves make up as much as most of you who’s reading this (me blabbing away). Why you need to waste your precious moment and fucking read this? Well..honestly I really dont know Put it this why..I’m as curious as you or maybe even more since I’m also a very busy body (wink at the bf) I lurk around at other forums and people sites just to know what they’re up to or trying to gain whatever I can from them.

On those rare occasions, I can also find deals and will gladly share them with you. As much as I love my Sephora..a girl cant really rely everything from there (unless youre one of Donald Trump’s mistress) I love my high ends (will gladly to review them for you) and never forgetting my low ends (Trust me..Sunday newspapers is your bestie..I’ll tell you why later) Basically what I’m trying to say is..I’m an addict..there..

I’m not usually this boring..trust me. But since this is my intro..I do want to make it little bit proper, till you see the real me Anyway..I’m…DONE!!
