Some Random Update: Zits, Travel And More!

As you may have noticed, I haven't really created an FOTD yet or any look whatsoever because I have a not-so-common occurrence of breakout lately. My left cheek and left forehead is riddled with small red dots. Glad that it wasn't the severe kind but I came to a conclusion that it is just hormonal and not a cause of worry. I stopped taking the estrogen pill and so I thought it could be one of the reasons as well. Anyway, I will have to note that down and ask my dermatologist when I pay a visit. I don't really have a perfect skin that's why I consider concealers my best friends and the BB cream heaven sent. Hehehe! As of the moment, the Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream that I am using has really helped zap the zits away. After using it for three days, the zits have considerably dried down. I will have to post an "after" picture if it shows significant difference. Here's the before look (taken when we attended the Nuffnang and Goldilocks event:

Enough about the zit talk...

I have started pooling up all the papers I need to process my visa for my trip to Europe next year. I will be applying through the Embassy of Belgium here in the Philippines. I hope they won't be strict enough. Hehe! I called my school (Ateneo Graduate School of Business) and they will be graciously writing a certification letter that I am a student and that I am currently enrolled in their MBA-Regis program. It is a tie-up with the Regis Universiy in Denver, Colorado. I am just waiting for Jelle to send me all the papers I need from him. He has been busy a lot these past few days doing I.T. stuff in their company and I hope it wouldn't be too much for him to secure all the papers and have it certified in their municipality (thank you Baby!). We have talked about this visum thingy and it's just one way for us to lull away the days as we countdown for our much-awaited reunion. Our plan is for me to fly in to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and he would meet me there and spend maybe a day or two so we could find me a tulip field. I am shallow like that. I love love tulips and one of the things I've written in my bucket list is to visit a tulip field before I am 30. Smart goal eh? We will then head to his country (Belgium) and then Paris (Lord knows how much walking we would be spending while there). I have read and written down the places I wanna go visit and we will never miss Disneyland Paris except if we oversleep and miss our schedule but I doubt that will happen. Can you tell I am sooooo excited? I am hoping and wishing and praying that my two-week vacation leave application will be approved (I have never ever been denied so I think this is already in the bag). But as of the moment, my biggest concern is to have my visa approved and then after that think about ingenious ways on how to cram two-weeks worth of clothes in one or two bags. Here's a pic of me and Jelle (notice how much taller he is compared to me and in this picture I am already tiptoeing). Taking a picture of us together without a tripod is such a challenge. ;-)

Yesterday, I found some really cheap lip glosses about $4) in really really adorable packaging. I picked up three and here's some pictures and swatches:



These lip glosses are from Bench (one of the companies of the business tycoon Ben Chan). They mainly target the lower and middle market. I liked that they have high quality products (shirts, pants, watches, undergarments, shoes, beauty products, perfumes, baby products, candies and etc) with very affordable prices. The Paint Box line is their newest range of beauty products targeting mainly the teen bracket. The packaging of these glosses are so classy I couldn't resist to pick them up although I am already planning to end the mini shopping sprees so I'll have heftier savings. Ahhhh I think a girl can't have too many lip glosses, don't you think?
