Shopping at Target

angel and i went out because i had to go to the bank and of course, i've wanted to stop by Target on grand canyon & flamingo. angel needs some winter clothes and shoes. i was just browsing around and i found some cute stuffs for her and i took some photos with my cell phone. we bought her pink suede knee high boots at walmart and of course, Target i found nicer ones. since it's still hot in vegas, after we get back from maui in october, vegas will be cooler and then we'll go winter fashion shopping. this is one of the things i like living here on the mainland, the cold weather and winter fashion. it's more of my style. anyways, as i was looking at the shoes and clothes for me, i actually want to get some of them over there. i even took photos of it. they actually have some popular brands like converse, mossimo and isaac mirzahi. then i headed over to the cosmetics aisle because i love makeup. i stopped by Sonia Kashuk makeup line to check out the brushes and makeup and what the price range was. it's a good price and i love the brushes. she has 2 different ones which is all black and white w/silver. i want to get both but the black does not have a set like the white one. the white one comes with case or bag so it's good. i heard that her brushes were just as good as expensive ones from mac or sephora.

Here are the pics of the boots i want to get for angel in the winter:

Retail vs. e-tail

today angel and i went to our church because we had an appointment to set up the baptism. im so glad it's done. they just need to wait on pj's letter from his church. anyways, since my friend can't be there on the day of the baptism, i need a proxy for her and i chose my mother in law because im not sure if the people i invited will actually be there. after that, we went to meadows mall because it was nearby. i thought forever21 was there but it wasn't. it's funny how i go to the mall and i still have to look at the mall map. i just don't go there often because its far. anyways, so i went to macy's. i miss shopping at macy's. i love going into the store and seeing the visual merchandising they style the dressform. the colors that are in are definitely like fuschia, teal, dark purple. those colors are kinda gothic like to me, but it's definitely in for this season. next to macys, was charlotte russe and i was tempted to buy something but i decided i want to buy something at forever21 at fashion show mall because i love forever21. i've been there customer since i was 16. anyways, they had victorias secret the lingerie store and the pink store. all my 3 favorites were next to each other so i know where to go when i go there again.
my thoughts on retail vs. e-tail is that i like both but i love shopping online because you can find more things that you wouldn't see in the store. however, going in a store, you can find some better deals and you can try on the outfit before you buy it. for me, i pretty much know what my size is which is small. i buy things online all the time because i like getting things in the mail plus, i can't really shop because my baby is always with me, so i can just look at it. well that's my opinion on that.

also, yesterday we went to walgreens and i bought Milani cosmetics. i bought an eyeshadow and double eyeliner pencil. i haven't tried it yet, but i know it should be good. thanks to ms.vanessa at necessarymakeup.com for her excellent photo product reviews and tutorials. and i bought angel pink initial pens that light up. they were pretty cute but unnecessary spending. well that's all for now. i know i should be putting some pics here, but i will soon though.

Makeup Art

i was up till almost 4 am this morning because i was working on a project for angel's party. i had to redo the bday invite because i have to order it and send it to my mom. i went to walmart and did the 1 hour photo to see the print sample and it was awful so im just going to order through winkflash.com. i still have so much to do. well since i stayed home all day today, i decided to have a makeup art session. i didn't take pictures of it, but i just wanted to experiment my makeup palettes since i finally made my own mixing medium. it definitely does make a difference with the mixing medium. so today, i experimented with silver and green look and blues look. the colors really made my eyes popped. i have yet, to mix up different colors. lately, i've been going through some of my mags and looking at the pics of celebs, models to recreate some looks. i've been also researching some beauty schools in las vegas because i want to get my license in esthetics. its skincare and makeup program. im thinking of going next year. i hope that they have night classes because i can work during the day. for me, its business and art. anything with art, i am interested to do, but i must say i love fashion designing. it's important to me what i wear whenever i go out. it's your first impression to someone. i just became so addicted to beauty products recently when i started selling them and have more time on my hands. well im becoming so broke because i pretty much have to buy at least one beauty product whenever i go out. well i don't have pics right now. i'll post some of my new makeup haul.

I've found another place to do business online

Hello world!

I havent posted a blog and I've been wanting to but for some reason, when I look at the time, its already past 12 am so i don't blog everyday as I would like. anyways, I have been working on editing angel's invites and all i have to do is get it printed. also, i've been stressing out with planning the baptismal because we need paperwork before making an appointment and set the date. when i finally have all the paperwork, i can make the appointment, set the date, plan the luncheon location. it's most likely the 4th saturday of the month because next week is way too soon. as much as i want to get it over with but it would be best to prepare a lil bit longer. and whats best after that, is we'll be in Maui 5 days later. im so excited. i did start a lil packing. all im bringing is one large baggage because they will be charging me $15. that sucks! also, i have to work on the video slideshow. i won't complete it here because ill be adding the new pics of angel w/family in hawaii. so ill just put half for now.

anyways, i finally found another place to do business besides my website, blogs, forums. i'm really going to focus on what i really want my business to sell and grow and its fashion and beauty. i'm such an addict. and i love it, i live it, i enjoy it. updates, everythings is pretty much slow, because im doing it all by myself and i have other things to do. hopefully after my vacation, i can really focus. im going to make this happen as if i didn't have a choice so it gets somewhere.

well that's all for now. new pics will be posted soon.

gnite.

Angel's baptismal

me & j went to a baptism class at our church because we had to go so we can baptize our lil angel this month. i can't believe how fast she's growing. anyways, the class was for only 30 min and then we received a baptism certificate after the class then we went home. i need to give the church office a call to make an appointment so we know exactly when the date is going to be for her baptism. they are asking a lot of stuffs from us. also we have to be there at 845 am. im still sleeping! but we have to. im looking forward to it. angel got her dress and shoes. it's white of course. i wanted to wear white too, but im going to wear something that will make me pop out of the group. nothing super bright but just not a normal color i would wear. got home and ate some dinner while watching the new premiere of "90210" i would say that it's not as good as the original but ill keep watching. anyways, its 1201 am and i need to work on a project: angel's party. so much planning and only 1 month and half to go.

Shopping Sale

i havent blogged for 2 days. here's the updates: J picked up the mail late at 12 am on monday. i know right? but it actually arrived on saturday. as you can tell, we are so late on picking up mail sometimes. anyways, ive got the sample pics from my winkflash.com order. i ordered prints of what the invites would look like before i actually did the final print orders. i did it in matte/glossy and 2 sizes. overall, im going with the 5x7 in matte for the birthday invite and glossy in 4x6 for the baptism invite. as for the photo magnet, i need to find somewhere that will print out right. as much as i would like to share with everyone the designs i made, i dont want to spoil it just yet. i know i need to get it done, because my mom needs it by next week at least. so ill be working on my design project for angel's party. omg, one month from now id be at the airport with angel heading to hawaii. i am super excited! its going to be hard for me traveling alone with her, but i have no choice, J can't make it because he has to work.

anyways, since it was labor day, of course, there's a shopping sale. well we went to savers because that's where J likes to shop. i bought stuffs but i will not buy clothes or shoes for me or my baby. i just have this superstition about who used to own it. however, i did buy books and housewares. i bought 5 books and got 1 of them for free. book prices ranges from 50 cents to $1.50. what a steal! and i bought these photo frame glass coasters for $1.50 and 4 glass bowls for $2.50. i just love glass especially the crystal clear ones. that's pretty much it.

we also went grocery shopping at food 4 less and of course, i knew that ELF products were sold there and i just had to get some. you had to pick 10 for $10. of course i did. i got me 7 brushes and 3 lip glosses. i ordered some of their products last month. i love the eyeshadow brush and lip gloss. they had several eye shadow quads but i already have 3 makeup palettes so i didn't get them. anyways, overall, it was a good day.

FYI: im a GG(gossip girl) and OTH (one tree hill) fan and the new season came out on CW. i missed some part of GG because i was interrupted. but when OTH came on i was loving it. i knew that Lucas was going to pick Peyton to marry. well i did watch the spoiler on youtube but i knew it before. they are just meant to be. and of course, the hills, i really like this show but its the last season. i love LC hairstyles. i am going to recreate that look on me. its something fun, cute and casual. well that's all for now.

gnite.
