Somehow me and my best friend went for a day out of town to hunt for Korean food.

Frosting cravings.

Hanging Blooms

I've been obsessing over wall decors for my room for months and here's a very unusual one!

Baking Cupcakes

Just last month, I finally accomplished my longtime dream of baking cupcakes. The ingredients and equipment were all set, and I can finally use the oven. Definitely a special moment for me! These are just vanilla cupcakes with the most basic cupcake recipe ever.

Galaxy in a Jar

Make one for yourself now, and together we can rule the galaxy.

DIY Bunting

You will need:

pattern papers cut into 12 triangles

string

tape

scissors

Fold the upper part of the triangle, this is where we will place the string.

Cut out the excess paper after folding.

I didn't throw it away and I will find a purpose for them someday.

You can use whatever paper you'd like. These floral prints are perfect for my room!

Place the string inside the folded part of the triangle.

Secure with tape and it's now ready to be hung!

It's really easy to do, but here are my tips to make the process much easier:

-measure the string first and decide if you are satisfied with the length

- decide in advance where the desired wall area is, and test if the bunting would really look nice there

- be sure the triangles are all the same sizes (you can measure with ruler and mark the back)

- be generous in securing it with tape so it won't eventually fall

- make sure the triangles are equally spaced when placed on the string

I finally got to dine at the daintiest place ever, Vanilla Cupcake Bakery!

Etude House VIP Girl Lipstick in 007 (Pastel Pink) Review

Café Travel

It's been a long time since I wanted to check this place out, but I finally came! 

N. Cat

Korea's number 1 fashion accessory store is now here!

It's like the Etude House version of accessories, since it is also from Korea, the interior motifs are pink and white, and everything just look so cute!

(OoO) <--- wide-eyed + open mouth face reaction

I got a bracelet from the holder (what do you call it) at the left, and two sets of earrings (one with one pair and one with three pieces) from the holder at the right which was just beside the entrance.

Earrings heaven. These weren't even all the earrings in the store (there were still more at the back and on the two holders in the photo above this photo)!

Yes, they have all the accessories you need.

They can put the accessory in a box if you're planning to give it as a gift to someone special.

I'm in love with this spot so much! So colorful and lively.

De-stressing through accessories shopping!

Etude House Belle Dress Pretty Look Body Lotion Review

A lotion from Etude House! One of my favorite lotions! For 478 pesos, it contains 300ml (10.58 fl oz). Lotions are important for girls to give their skin moisture. Girls will definitely love this product.

I dreamt of having this for a long time. I just know I have to have one sitting on my dresser.

Etude House’s packaging never fails. It's always so lovely and full of life, never dull and boring. I get excited every time I’m about to apply the lotion.

The texture of the lotion was thick, and was hard to spread all over the body especially if you only pump a little amount to your palm. The scent is sweet and delightful, perfect for the girly girls! It reminds me of SkinWhite Glam Berry Lotion’s scent only the SkinWhite one is milder.

After applying, it makes the skin feel a little sticky but very sweet smelling and nourishing. I apply it every night before I sleep, and I always wake up to soft skin.

I actually never plan on throwing the bottle away, I can just refill it. I swear, the bottle itself is just overwhelming. It has a vintage touch to it, which made it look classy. I must say one of the most elegant looking packaging Etude House has to offer.

I bought this for 478 pesos which might be expensive to some people, but I think is quite affordable. Etude House as a lot of branches in shopping malls here in the Philippines so its not that hard to grab one. I heard they have branches in most countries in Asia too mainly because Etude House is based from Korea. If it is not available in your country, the best thing I can suggest is to buy from eBay. I’m sure you’ll find it available there. Etude House doesn’t officially put their products for sale online but I heard eBay sellers of Etude House are fine.

Pros:
-Lovely packaging.
-Sweet smell.
-Makes my skin soft.
Cons:
-Thick consistency makes it a little hard to apply.
-Skin feels sticky aftrer applying for approximately the first three minutes.
Rating: 4/5
Would I repurchase: No.
