February 14

Flowers on Valentine's Day!

Although Valentine’s Day is said to be the holiday that celebrates love, it doesn't mean it’s the only day to express our love for others. For me, it’s just a gentle reminder that God is love and He loves us immeasurably, and for that reason alone, we should also love others the way our Father in Heaven has first loved us and continuously loves us. We should love one another every day and not only on Valentine’s Day. That being said, it doesn't mean we can’t and shouldn't celebrate Feb 14th.

Speaking of, here’s how my Valentine’s Day turned out to be. It was just a typical day actually. My husband is back on graveyard shift and the first night is always the hardest for me. It’s just so difficult to adjust. It’s not that easy to sleep without your husband beside you.

In short, I didn't even get a decent sleep at all. I was still wide awake until almost 5 in the morning. He arrived home at I guess past 9AM. I can’t really tell 'coz I was really so knocked down at that time. He kissed me like he always does every time he gets home, and then went straight to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, he was poking me with something as he was uttering the words, “happy valentine’s Day, mommy…” I slowly opened my eyes and saw his gorgeous face. And I thought to myself, “oh I love this man...” Then in my astonishment, he handed me a bouquet of flowers. In an instant, I was no longer sleepy!

OH. MY. FREAKING. GOSH!!!!

For the first time, after seven years, I finally received flowers from him. I couldn't take away the smile on my face. It’s definitely, by far, the best Feb 14^th of my life.

HOW ABOUT YOU? How was your Feb 14^th? Did you do anything crazily romantic? How did you spend the famous day of hearts? Let me know on the comments. :)

Easy smokey eyes

Valentine's Day Series Look #2 - Easy Peasy Silver Smokey Eyes

I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately. My schedule is a little bit crazy and adjusting to it is slightly becoming a hard work. Anyway, I have a new makeup tutorial for y'all. It's LOOK #2 in my Valentine's Day Series.

This is just a screenshot because I forgot to take pictures
right after filming this tutorial - my bad!

This is my other way of creating that subtle smokey eye look. Since this is not too dramatic, this can be worn during the day, in my opinion. I'd wear this to a casual date with my girl friends because it doesn't really scream "romantic" but it's bold enough to give me that boost of confidence.

Here's the video for the makeup tutorial. Enjoy!

Products used in order of appearance in the video:

ELF eyelid primer

ELF 100 Eyeshadow Palette

Maybelline Impact Express Felt liner

AVON Super Extend Waterproof Mascara

Coastal Scents 78 Shadow Blush Palette

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Soft Nude

AVON glazewear in clear

Makeup Tutorial

Valentine's Day Series Look #1 - The Purple Birthday Wish

No doubt, February is the month that keeps most of us, girls on our toes in search of the most romantic gift ideas, cutest cards, most gorgeous and stunning makeup looks, yada yada yada! So, in connection to the celebration of the month of love, I’ve decided to start a series on my YouTube channel called, “Valentine’s Day Series”. Yey! Confetti! Wootwoot! How creative!?! (sarcastic tone) Okay, okay! Yeah right. Let’s just move on and not talk about the title ever again. (shoulders dropped, face sad, hope gone…)

The "INNOCENT" Smile - rawr!

Alright! To set the mood of this blogpost, let’s get on with my makeup tutorial. The first look in this series is requested by one of my YouTube subscribers named Elena De Leon: http://www.youtube.com/user/tweety0224ify. She'll be celebrating her birthday on February 24^th and so she wants a birthday inspired makeup tutorial. Don’t worry; it doesn't have to be your birthday to wear this look. I'd wear this if I'd go out on a date with my hubby, so it's really up to you!
