Note to Myself

There are situations in my life that I can't control or run out of my hand that's why I decided to create this entry to remind myself about what to do and not to do so that I can achieved my goals!

1. Strive hard for the best! It goes by the saying "Try and try until you succeed", continue looking for that "opportunity" you want to achieved. You will find a new work eventually if you keep on believing on yourself and please don't compare yourself to others. You are unique and perfect in God's eye!
2. Try to prevent impulse buying. Remember that you have still enough beauty commodities that you still doesn't use.
3. List all the things you want to buy and categorize them if that's falls in necessity or needs.
4. Save 20% of your monthly paycheck for your savings! Don't just stick to 10% rule. Aim for the bigger funds.
5. Love yourself and always pray!

How about you? Do you have a note to yourself too that you want to follow in order to achieved your goals? Why not post the link of your entry here so that I can check it out.

Ever Bilena: Wicked Red & Bubble Gum Lipstick Shade

Sorry if I have been missing in action for a while here due to I wasn't feeling well last week. I had hyper-acidity and I wasn't able to report to work for three consecutive days! Luckily, I'm all good now and ready to mingle in the blogging sphere. To kick-off here's my review of my recently purchase lipstick products for the month of May 2015.

I've been trying to save a few bucks but my shopping hormones strikes again! (Oh no trouble). Good thing I saw a very inexpensive line of make-up at SM department stores which is Ever Bilena. It is a local brand of  make-up company here in the Philippines. I happily bought two shades of lippies which are Wicked Red and Bubble Gum.

Bubble Gum & Wicked Red

The "Wicked Red" has a slightly red shade and I bought this because I don't have any red lipstick in my make-up kit while the "Bubble Gum" has a shade of orange which is perfect for this summer month of May.

What I like:

• It is cheap. I bought it 165 pesos per shade
• It has vitamin E for moisture which is good for the lips.
• It is a Filipino brand and you can purchase it everywhere as long as you reside in the Philippines

What I don't like:

• The longevity is for an hour or two only. I need to reapply it again so that the color is visible
• It has 30% glossy texture when I apply it on my lips. I don't hate it nor love it either. 
• It has this weir scent that is 70% tolerable.
• It's patchy on the lips!

I often use Wicked Red more than Bubble Gum because the latter color doesn't fit for my liking. I hope I can find the perfect shade of orange for me so that I can pull it off. All in all I am 60% happy with the result of this line of lipstick because of availability and cheapness. As the famous cliche says "You get what you pay for" is applicable for this product which is suitable for students, teens and for all the ladies who doesn't like to spend more on make-up commodity.

Have you try Ever Bilena products before? How about their lipstick range? Are you happy about it? Share your comments below.

Things I Want to Achieved Before I turn 30!

Photo grabbed from laurenlatelyblog.com

I'll be turning 26 in a couple of months and if you will ask me if I am happy about it, I would say "yes" and "no". Yes, because another year will be added to my age and I'm very blessed to live on earth for this long (Uyy, ang drama!). And no because it will shorten my time to accomplish my goals before I hit 30. Now that we are talking about what I want to achieved in life, let me list them here:

• I want to own a 2 storey house in a secured subdivision either in Taguig or around Metro Manila.
• I want to have my own business! I know that I can't be rich by having a job and rely on monthly pay check. I need to create or have an extra income on the side to be financially stable. I'm still thinking of what business shall I venture or put up. I'm now starting to save money to use as a capital.
• I want to get married at the age of 28 and have kids before I hit 30.
• Travel the entire Philippines starting June of 2016! Why do I chose that month and year? It's because my youngest sister will expected to graduate on March 2016. I am basically FREE from loads of expenses!  More money to travel local places. Weeee!
• Renovate our house and turn it into a 4 door apartment.
• Have braces without having no reason at all.
• Lose weight. Dreaming of 105 lbs. weight and have flat tummy! I'm currently 113 lbs. now which is a boo, boo!
• Learn how to bake either cupcakes or breads.
• Learn how to swim on a deep ocean.
• Cauterize my small warts on different areas of my body. I just want to get rid of them.
•  Having a flawless skin especially on the face area. I have pimple scars on my face right now and it makes me sad sometimes.
• Travel to my province, Daanbantayan Cebu!
• Get a passport.

That's all for now but I will add more if something pop-up in my head. LOL. Anyway, Do you have 30 goals before you hit 30 someday? Why not share them here on the comment section below.
