Husband and I celebrated our 13th anniversary last Sunday. I think as we get older we celebrate a little less each year. Normally, I require a big expensive gift + a lavish dinner. Kidding. Normally, I like to get something to remind me of our anniversary...nothing expensive of course...just something small, but this year I... Continue Reading →
The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon was a book I read based on good reviews on Goodreads.com. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into because it was my first sci-fi dystopian fantasy with paranormal, but I ended up loving it. There's something about Samantha's writing that draws me to the characters... Continue Reading →
I love Pad Thai so much that it's pretty much what I order when I eat out at a Thai restaurant. I've had bad Pad Thai before and I've also had really awesome Pad Thai (in Miami in 2013). I'm still searching for the perfect Pad Thai here, where I live. In the mean time,... Continue Reading →
I went and got myself a new lip gloss. I wasn't in need of one but I haven't worn any in ages. I was never a big fan of glosses. They're usually sticky, overly scented, overly flavored, and never last longer than a few minutes. I believe the last time I wore a good gloss... Continue Reading →

I should know better than to drop by Ulta with only my 5-year-old who actually helped me pick out the Glinda... Continue Reading →

Mom gave me some bok choy and a kabocha squash and because my kids and husband are not fans, I have to be a little creative with what I make, otherwise most of it goes to waste. With the bok choy, I made a stir fry with chicken and a little bit of osyter sauce. ... Continue Reading →
Last evening, I took Kida with me to Costco to pick up some photos I had printed and we ended up leaving with the Hunger Games Trilogy and a set of books for Kylie. When we located the trilogy set (it took us a good 10 minutes), Kida screamed so loud, you could almost hear... Continue Reading →
Last week, I ordered a few items from Sephora because I wanted the mini Shiseido Lacquer Rouge that came free with the purchase. Here's a review of those items: ^ Sephora + Pantone Universe Eyeliner Set. I currently have the Sephora + Pantone Universe eye shadow palette and really like the colors and staying power. ...
