I am very fortunate to live near the Rose Bowl and the Rose Parade. While I didn't get to see the parade in person this year (we entered a lottery for tickets and sadly weren't chosen), I was able to go view the floats the day after. I took Bear with me so he could experience seeing the floats like he did on TV.
If you ever come to Pasadena
I was in search for a new blush and I wanted something that offered pigmentation but not too much. The last thing I needed was to look like a clown.
Before, I 've used L'Oreal, Maybelline, and my all-time favorite, MAC. I figured this time around I'll go a bit more high-end. I guess I felt like blowing some monayyyyyy.
Anyhoo, while I was at Macy's, I decided to stop by
It's been a long, hot minute since I've done makeup posts and since I've acquired some new makeup, I'm going to spend this week talking about my new makeup! Are you ready? Let's goooooo!
Just as a warning, I might be posting the same photos since I'm wearing two new makeup purchases on my face, namely my blush and foundation. The focus of these photos are my lips. Muah!
Let's start
On this blog, I've explained how we celebrate traditional Christmas and Orthodox Christmas. We keep our tree for a long time, well into January. What might be unusual to others is really the norm for us.
Each year we have our tree, it seems to get better and better. I should probably put myself on a Christmas budget, honestly. I go bananas. Anyway, here are some pics of our new
Celebrating Ethan this year was different. I didn't cry as much as I used to (I'll get to that in a minute)It s, but the impact of his loss was still the same. After putting it off for so long, I finally decided next year, I'm going to get Ethan his grave marker.
You're probably wondering why so long since it's been several years (seven to be exact). Well, a
Note: This is the same review I left on Yelp.
I wanted a scorpio constellation tattoo for a long time but I didn't know what type I wanted. Off to Google where I found what I wanted, awesome. But then when it came to finding a good tattoo artist, well, they're a dime a dozen here in L.A.
I stumbled upon June's page several months back and I was intrigued. I
Sometimes, you just want to kick back and enjoy yourself while your kid goes HAM.
I live near the Glendale Galleria and Bear and I had always passed this place called Giggles N' Hugs several times. He always wanted to go inside but it was always after we ate somewhere else.
Finally, Bear convinced me to go to Giggles N' Hugs when we were about to eat at our usual spot.
Recently, I received a very generous gift from the great folks over at Daily Kneads bread. Now, I'm going to keep it one hundred like I always do - I never heard of them. So, naturally I was a little apprehensive about trying a product I never heard of.
But YOLO, right?
Before I go why I had to give myself a pep talk on why I had to eat my
So, when a child turns 5, it's a big deal. One, you can actually use your entire hand for your age and probably the only time you can do it. Second, you're at that age where you're considered to be a little big kid. Not a big kid like the 7 year olds and up, but you're no longer considered a toddler.
And plus, five is the cool age. You
Okay, so you're probably wondering how cold can it really get in Los Angeles? Well, it can get surprisingly cold. Now, we're not experiencing any snow (I would need to drive to get to that), but I can feel my bones clack.
It was time for all of us to upgrade our outerwear. Let's start with the parents:
I picked up this Calvin Klein gem from Macy's. It seems puffer coats
