Putting My Make-Up On

I was a late bloomer. Make-up/ beauty was alien territory. It's ironic because beauty styling is one of my dream jobs, as in hair and make-up, yet I don't wear make-up myself. I once inquired abut beauty school and man, were they expensive!

But early this year I thought to pursue the dream, or at least familiarize myself with it.

So I did the next best thing. I youtubed tutorials and this was by far the best of them. I saw a few videos and realized what the foundation was for. I always thought it was just like powder, which I don't like ergo never put on my face. So anyway, here's the link to Lisa Eldridge's website: http://www.lisaeldridge.com/

Watch her videos if you're totally clueless of what you're doing because she explains the brushes she uses and all other details.

SIDENOTE: So after watching her videos, off I went to buy foundation, and almost got the wrong color because I didn't know my own skintone. Yes, you read it right, I just bought myself a foundation, which means I have never worn any to all the socials I've gone to. Good thing older sister was there and directed me to the right brand and the salesperson was kind enough to explain the different types. I eventually got the Maybelline mineral kind ( see, I don't even know the details of the product).

Start Off With These Chinese & Taiwanese Dramas

Even before Kdramas, I was already so into Hong Kong movies that I remember writing all the movies I’ve seen on a notebook, which I’ve since lost. Jackie Chan & Jet Li movies were faves, but Star Movies Chinese introduced me to so many others. After watching Gen-X Cops, I fell in love with the gorgeous actors and I’d see anything with Stephen Fung, Nicolas Tse, and Daniel Wu that was on, even ones without subtitles! Oh and also Takeshi Kaneshiro! But at some point, I couldn’t access Star Movies Chinese anymore. I don’t remember exactly if they became unavailable in our country or you had to pay extra for that channel. Whatever it was, it ended my love affair with Hong Kong Movies. Which is okay in a way, since I got too busy with life anyway. And then Meteor Garden happened. They showed it on a local channel and was Filipino dubbed. After that blew up, local channels started showing dubbed Taiwanese dramas. But it wasn’t easy to follow the series since it was on at aroun...

Bead Bangle

You may be wondering why I would give away this pattern for free when I can sell it. Well, I'm really not so good with giving (and taking) written instructions. So to be fair, I only sell patterns that I can give accurate instructions on. I rely mostly on pictures, I find them easier to follow. So hopefully the images I included helps too if my written instructions become too confusing. I had to use a dark background so the threads would show. 1. Start with the basic netting technique. String in 147 pieces of seed beads. Pass the thread through the 6th bead from the last. 2. String 5 beads then pass through the sixth bead from the previous row, repeat to the end. 3. Leave 6 beads at the tail. String 8 beads then pass thread through fourth bead from previous row. Repeat until you have a total of 9 rows. 4. String 8 beads then pass the thread through the 6th ...

JASPER - The Supreme Nurturer

BIRTHMONTH: March From the Greek word iaspi meaning “spotted stone”. Considered as a powerful healing stone that gives a sense of well-being and enables one to be more present in the physical body and conscious of Nature and one’s surroundings. Believed to protect and absorb negative energy. Brecciated Jasper from https://www.crystalhealingforwomen.com/brecciated-jasper-bracelet/ LEGENDS & MYTHS According to Norse legend, the magic sword of Siegfried the dragon slayer was inlaid with this gemstone. Egyptians believed the stone to be associated with Isis and was carved into amulets for the dead. There is also speculation it was actually red jasper (not ruby) that adorned the sacred breastplate of Aaron. ABOUT THE STONE Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any color stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or vol...
