quick lil update!

in less than 24 hours it will be february!! how quick does time fly?!
anyway guess what?! i am 14 weeks already ! *smiles* im on my second trimester !! it seems just like yesterday when i was feeling like crap and now look at me three months ahead !!..and still feeling like crap :(

my back is killing me. seriously i don't even have a visible baby bump *yet* but i feel like there is immense pressure on my back. luckily enough i haven't gained any weight yet..quite the contrary in fact i have lost weight ! i guess you could say i am fortunate this time around as i dont crave any junk food.. unlike my first where i ate 2 soft serve ice creams & apple pie from McDonalds EVERYDAY. i gained 30 kgs by the time i gave birth.. and i gave birth to a bean !! do you know how shocked i was to find out he was only 2.380kgs?! i was baffled.. i thought i was gonna have a big baby but there he was... tiny as a premie !! *LOL* anyway i am managing to control my backpain by using salonpas day in and day out. hehehhe enough of my pregnant bitching !!

anyway with february just around the corner i was starting to think about what to get hubby for valentines day. i dont think i will be getting him anything costly this year as we are awaiting our new lil bub and we need the money to cover hospital bills. maybe you can help me?? any ideas??

New Years Resolutions !!

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS !!!
( hopefully I would be able to do at least half of them )

1. Finally sit my STAT test.
okay okay I've honestly been holding this off for 2 years now but something just keeps coming up on me ! :(

2. Thoroughly clean my room every weekend.
lets face it, its hard to clean when you have kids. enough said

3. Not to buy any baby items until I find out the sex of my lil one.
realisticly this is very hard for me to do. i have been scouring through shops since the boxing day sales and i have *thank god* resisted pretty well.. for now

4. Move out of my parents home.
the opportunity is finally so close ! hubbys buying us a house as soon as he has time to search for a decent one within our price range !

5. Loose weight after baby.
i gained 30 kgs during my first pregnancy and lost half now im on my second pregnancy and i am taking better care of myself than first, but hopefully i dont gain another 30kgs or else i would have way too much weight to loose! :(

New Lenses !!!

Hi all !!! I hope you all had a great Christmas and a happy new year !! I haven't been blogging since because the hubby was here for the holidays and we wanted some quality time together, which is hard to do when you have a 3 year old.

My cousin is getting married on January 17 and I am lucky enough that she choose me to be one of her bridesmaids !! I guess you could say I'm way too excited for my own good !! I've already bought things I need for after the wedding ceremony so I can dance the night away ! My cousin has been generous enough to let us keep the bridesmaid dresses after the wedding though I wouldn't have a clue why I would want to wear it again but nevertheless its still awesome! I was quite worried that my cousin would get married later in the year but due to circumstances she had to fast forward her plans (thank god!) or I might not be able to fit into my dress !! Anyway since the wedding was coming up I decided to get myself some new lenses to wear since I will be photographed and all ! I wanted to look my best and of course not upstage the bride but anyway as always with shoppingnspree I got my lenses in record time !!! I don't buy my lenses from anyone else but felicia !!! I'm so happy with my purchases !!

1. Marc Jacobs Daisy - I fell in love with the scent and just couldn't give up $150 for a bottle.. lols im guilty of being stingy.. on myself !
2. Olympus e450 DSLR Camera - I've been wanting an slr camera for ages and wouldn't it be great to snap pics of my new little one when it arrives?!

Thats about all of the things I want right now. Its not much but hopefully I get my slr !! Can't wait for Christmas !!!!

Etude House : Baby Skin Veiling Pact & Code B Cream Liner

Baby Skin Veiling Pact SPF 22

Moist Veiling Coverage for Baby Soft Skin.

Sheer powder coverage with moist sensation supplies SPF22, PA++, vitamin E and moisture for baby soft skin presentation.

Verdict:

First of all I absolutely love the smell of this gorgeous powder ! Smells like baby powder but not as strong, very subtle. The powder itself is very fine, almost to the same grade as mineral powder but you don't have to "buff" the powder into the skin as it adheres very well. As for color I got the #2 Natural Beige and I must say I was skeptical about the color before I purchased, I knew it was either going to be too dark or too light but not with this! I was extremely happy to have the powder nicely blend with my skin tone ( I wear beige neutral in everyday minerals). The powder is very light and I would say it is comparable to mineral makeup, I didn't feel like I had it on and it certainly didn't look like I had anything on! The compact itself is very pretty compared to the normal plain round ones available on western cosmetics. I really love taking this out of my purse because its a total eye catcher in pearly pink !

Overall I give this a 4.5 out of 5 simply because I would've loved it if the compact was bigger but what the hey?! Its almost perfect !

Code B Strong Eyes Cream Liner

Cream textured eyeliner supplies smooth, adhesion for long lasting smoky eyes. (Comes with Makeup Brush)

Verdict:

This is my first dable into the unknown.. I have never used cream or gel liner before, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this little gem! I got the liner in #01 Strong Black and I must say that it is the blackest eyeliner I have ever come across. Application was easy in terms of how smooth the eyeliner went but I had difficulty making a thin line and controlling my pressure on the brush. I was surprised at how soft the eyeliner was because it looked like it was hard but as soon as I dipped my brush into the jar I knew it would be best if I go softly next time! A little goes a long way with this product as it is very black and you wouldn't have to go over the line again to get that intensity sometimes hard to achieve with a pencil alone. I also love the little liner brush that comes with the liner but I hesitated to use it as it looked to nice to be used ! Both the liner and the brush come with a little keychain thingy that makes it easier to take with you and never get lost in your bag !

Overall I give this product a 5 out of 5. I couldn't find fault in it !!

Guess Who's Back?!

Okay I admit I have neglected my blog for a few months, but could you forgive me?? I have been extremely busy these past few months.. especially now I'm expecting baby #2 !!! I must admit this came as an unexpected suprise but hey? Who am I to question gods doing right? Anyway this pregnancy has left me feeling very exhausted ! I am always feeling like I'm being dragged by my weight and seriously I could barely get myself up some days. I hope I start feeling better once I hit my second trimester and all this sluggish feeling will leave me to enjoy my pregnancy !! Hopefully I would be able to put life back on my blog and start updating again real soon !!
