Every Girl’s Beauty Must-haves
Every girl’s beauty stash must be filled with the most essential products to ensure a prettified look 24/7. I’ve compiled a short list of the beauty must-haves that are sure to help keep you looking fresh every minute of every single day.
It doesn’t matter what you’re doing or going to do, looking your very best has got to be a part of it! Whether you’re going out to the mall for some shopping, staying at home playing Cheekybingo in the study, going out for girls night on a Friday, or anything in between, it never hurts to always have these in your purse ready at a moment’s notice:
Moisturizer
Whether or not you plan to wear makeup, it’s important to moisturize. Some moisturizers also double as foundation, so you can achieve a matte finish. Moisturizers with SPF are also good for the no-makeup look.
Press powder
Never be oily again with a dependable press powder in your beauty stash. Choose press powders tha can hide skin imperfections for a flawless look.
Blush
Add some color to your cheeks with the right blush. Make sure to pick a tint that compliments your natural skin color for lovely, rosy cheeks.
Nude lipstick
A nude lipstick can go from casual to glam. It’s the safest yet most fun and sophisticated shade that a woman can own. Wear it for brunch date or for a business meeting.
Lip gloss
Add a bit of shine to your lips by scoring yourself a clear lip gloss. You can also choose tinted ones for more color.
Mascara
Emphasize your eyes with waterproof and non-smudgy mascara. Good-quality mascara can create the illusion of longer and thicker lashes.
Conduct a stash check and see if you have these essentials that can solve all your beauty problems.
That’s it, girls! Stay happy, stay pretty!
Feeble Attempts at Getting Fit
I love weekends. On these days, I am able sleep all day. I can bum around without worrying about work, meetings, deadlines, etc. This weekend will be different. I noticed that I gained 5lbs last month, so I promised myself to shed the added weight. I will dedicate a day each weekend for fitness.
At 4:30am on a Saturday morning, my alarm rang. Oh no! I’m not ready yet. Hit snooze on the alarm for another 15 minutes… and another 15 minutes… and another… and another. I came to my senses at 5:30am and finally decided to wake up. I got up, changed into my workout clothes and started fitness day.
I stretched for 15 minutes and began walking towards the park. When I reached the park, I decided to start jogging. I jogged for 3 rounds until I got tired. I decided to rest for a while before going home. It has been a while since I last visited the park. I guess I’ve been quite occupied with my love life for the past months.
As I looked around, I see a couple of changes. A swing and seesaw were added to the park. Since it’s quite early, nobody was using the swing. I sat on the swing and swayed – slowly at first, increasing speed little by little until reaching its full swing. It felt good to be able to do that. I felt like a child again.
I Love Prints
Printѕ are ѕtill gоing to bе a huge trеnd in 2013, аnd whу nоt? Printѕ mаkе for fun and еуе-саtсhing looks fоr both саѕuаl аnd drеѕѕ-uр dауѕ.

Feeling really dаintу? Thrown оn a brееzу floral dress thаt’ѕ реrfесt fоr Sundау brunсh. Pаir it with a bright patent wеdgе аnd уоu’rе gооd to gо. Anоthеr орtiоn is tо go сооl, tropical, аnd bоhо with wаtеrсоlоr prints—think lоng ѕkirtѕ and strappy sandals. Fоr a fun night оut, get fierce аnd рut on your favorite аnimаl-рrint ensemble. Complete thе look with a killer pair оf sky-high heels. Fоr thе young and hiр, score yourself graphic рrintѕ and ѕtаtеmеnt tееѕ. Make ѕurе to ѕtrар on your fаvоritе kicks, tоо. Yоu саn аlѕо gо glоbаl with Aztec prints. Amр up уоur look with ассеѕѕоriеѕ with ѕрikеѕ, ѕtudѕ, аnd fringеѕ.

The Unexpected Gift
My birthday was over almost half a month ago so I was very surprised to see a box wrapped in a birthday wrapper on my work desk this morning. I looked at it for a while before I decided to open the card attached to it. The card had a note which says:
To: Steven’s girlfriend,
Happy Birthday. Hope you’ll enjoy this simple gift.
See you soon.
From: Steven’s Mom
I smiled at the thoughtfulness of Steven’s mom. I was a bit ashamed because it has been a while since I visited them. The gift had me thinking that I should go and see them this weekend.
I opened the gift. Inside was a set of baking utensils and pans, colorful cupcake wrappers, and a pastry cook book. After opening the gift, I dialed her number. No one was answering so I left a message. I thanked her and said that I might come over and visit on the weekend.
Interesting gift. And very unexpected. She must’ve loved the cookies I sent them last Halloween. I will try the new recipes on the cook book and will bring it when I visit them.
