Happy week!

It has been a few days since I last blogged. Main reason is because we moved to another house and I don’t have an internet connection. I have a few minutes each day to check on important emails and update Plurk and Facebook, but that’s all. I can’t even do serious work because I lack the bandwidth. Tomorrow, I’m hoping to have everything changed. I will seek solution to this ailing issue and will soon (promise to myself) have it solved. Whew!

So what have I been doing beauty-wise? I still continue my old routine of trying out my Human Heart Nature goodies J and the new Avon loot I got from Phoebe Ann. But what’s keeping me really busy lately is taking care of the aesthetics of our new house. We got it in a sort of rough stage so I had to do some changes for it to be homey and cozy. At least cozy enough for my family.

We cleaned a lot the first few days, then I added some plants. There were existing plants too, and a beautiful tree that shades our front door from the sun. The house is generally raw but I love it here. This is by far, one of the best investments we’ve ever had. I can’t help feeling ecstatic waking up early in the morning. Another good thing is that it’s not so hot here as compared to our previous house which is only a few miles away. Our house stands on a hill-like part of the village and the neighbors are really awesomely kind and helpful. I couldn’t ask for anything more. They extend their helping hand on almost everything. We’re also very near a village park, where my youngest (my eldest is with my mom since he’s had chicken pox last week) spends his afternoons playing with other kids and on the playground.

I can’t wait to make more money so I can have small renovations done and invite people (family) over.

P.S. I’ll subscribe to Sun or Wi-Tribe later so my no-internet days are soon over. See you more soon!

Makeover Project #1

A few hours ago, I played Barbie with my househelp. Not what you’re thinking though. We weren’t playing with the dolls, but rather, I was doing their makeup. I have always been commended for a job well done on my own face but I haven’t tried to put makeup on others. Not professionally. Today, I had the chance to practice.

Despite my asthma and colds, I went with my yaya to pick her shade and what suits her. When we got home, they (my yaya and my mom’s) asked me to put the makeup on their faces so they can pose and have their picture taken. Look at their before and after pictures.

So, how do you find it? ;P Please be gentle. They’re my first

I won! I won!

Two weeks ago, I received an email from Phoebe Ramos about an Avon loot I won from her website www.phoebeann.com. You see, I’m currently addicted to online freebies and contests. I join, join, join and join. And her contest was one of the first few I joined. So this is just WOW! 

Last Friday, she emailed me saying that Xend was trying to deliver my package but could not find my location. I found that quite absurd since I’ve been a Xend customer since they opened. I think that was 2007. I’m just not active anymore since I’m not into the retail business recently. So I called Xend and gave them instructions to my house. The following day, Saturday, early morning, my package arrived!

Yup, I got 3 Avon products from Phoebe!!! Thanks much!
