We all have our own ideas on how to celebrate the occasion. Be it with flowers, candlelight dinners, or a simple date out of course following sanitary protocols or better yet, staying home to Netflix and chill. Whatever that is, time spent with love is a great time. Regardless of how it may be, it wouldn't hurt to freshen up your look for the occasion particularly wear a #FOTD look that you yourself adores. For me who personally loves makeup, I find it so much better and yes, I also feel so much better when I have my face done and if I am satisfied with how I look. Just because there is a pandemic, it does not mean that you can no longer wear and e joy putting makeup on. However, for safety reasons, one can ditch the lipsticks and go straight and invest in really good eye makeup. That is exactly what I am doing which is why I recently checked some of the great deals online. I did saw some makeup products on sale and did a haul. I even saw some really good value wholesale makeup which I think are perfect for those who are in the makeup, modelling, or fashion industry. 

Here are makeup products I found online which I can't wait to get my hands on. I think these products are not only of good quality but also perfect for achieving that romantic makeup apt for Valentine's. By the way, these are all from the ABH (Anastasia Beverly Hills) which I am sure a brand that you already know. They may be quite pricey which is why it would be perfect to have them while they're on sale!

     As if one eyeshadow palette is not enough, I have another option in the store. I know it may sound crazy but despite having countless eye shadow palettes already, I still love them. I mean, diamonds are not the only best friends of a lady! lol This is the perfect collection of easy-to-blend, full pigment shadows. With a long-lasting formula, this palette is complete with bronze metallics and iridescent finishes ideal for a nighttime look and neutral mattes for daytime. A bit different from the Modern Renaissance since this palette does not focus on the berry tones, but still, if you are a fan of the neutral shades, this might be the perfect palette for you!

I hope you love the makeup products that I've mentioned here. Have you tried any of them? Please share your thoughts about them below! 

With the celebrations in mind and also to welcome the new year, most of us find ourselves looking into fitness and health resolutions. Getting the sexy summer body back as what most would say after enjoying the meals brought by the holiday season! It's actually one of my resolutions - being healthy per se as your girl is now 27 and in due time would approach the 30s. 

For fashion-forward ladies though, something that would flaunt their gorgeous waist in simple ways would be awesome especially when one is off to go to a formal event. Here are some simple ways that I've found out that would help one achieve an hourglass figure look or a decent curve. 

    Waist training goes back to the 16th century mainly as part of the ladies' wardrobe especially those who are belonging to the high society check out the beautiful women of Bridgerton! These days though, especially with the power of social media, many are purchasing some of the best waist trainers for weight loss in the market. Doing it for the gram or not, it's a woman's personal choice. Remember how every lady almost went gaga looking at Kim Kardashian's jaw-dropping ensemble wearing the Terry Mugler dress? I mean, it really flooded my group chats with my girlfriends. 

    For those who are not into waist training, a waist trainer is an undergarment made up of thick fabric and hard metal boning. It’s intended to be worn much more tightly than a girdle or shaping underwear to give you a sleeker, smaller waist. 

    Many claims said that it can be a health-hazard, but the truth is that when used carefully, they are no more dangerous than a fashionable tool for accentuating a feminine figure.

      Aside from waist trainers, another waist-defining garment that I've found is shaper short or shaper panties as others would call it. Some ladies prefer shaper shorts and panties because they are easier to be worn and for others, more comfortable. These type of garments comes with a highly valuable and sophisticated regular fit which is neither too short nor too long but has ease of wearing for most people who are interested in this type of wearing. The high waist tummy control panties are also proven to be ideal for numerous purposes. I've read that because of its breathable quality, you can wear the undergarment even while you are working out! They are also ideal for casual purposes so you'll get to do any of your work done without feeling uncomfortable and yes, with a more hourglass figure!

     We all have parts or areas of our body which we wish or hope to accentuate. I mean that's pretty normal regardless if you are a working-class gal or an A-list celebrity. Some would find their tummy as a "problem area" others their arms but if it's your butt or your thigh that you would like to spice up,  butt lifter thigh trimmer could be your best friend!

      Now, what exactly are those? those two are also a type of fashion undergarment which seeks to help the wearer reduce the size & appearance of your thighs and lift one's butt! It's an amazing way to create an illusion of having a tighter curve sans the surgery! It can also be worn on many occasions in a comfortable manner. It works with its heat retention that will help tone and firm your thighs. Some otf them will also help in shedding your excess water weight or the appearance of cellulite! Just be sure to find something that is comfortable, stretchy, soft, and lightweight.

Have you tried any of these fashion undergarments? What do you think of them? Let me know in the comments section below.

     Also, it will significantly improve your walking and sitting posture as it provides compression and support for your back. Another reason to stock on good quality shapewear is that it makes your body straight and firm. It does that by alleviating pain in your lower back and lumbar area. Instantly then, you get to say goodbye to slouching giving you a boost of confidence. 

     There are so many options in stores these days which can be overwhelming, and with safety and health protocols that we have to follow these days, getting them online is a good idea. Shopping online can also be overwhelming but make sure to find where there are real reviews from shoppers which in turn could give you a vast idea of which best shapewear for women shapewear pieces are actually worth buying and keeping. 

 Delicate gypsophilas,

sensual rabbit tails and roses

turning to late afternoon café hues.

Seasons change;

just when I thought

everything around me is getting

old and cold,

I saw the beauty of beginnings

in dried things.

Cold was this year

but it brought me to

your warmth.

I longed and chased

a ghost - that was my biggest crime.

I remember you said

you're haunted by a phantom

while we're in an empty overpass.

I've met you

for only one season

which feels like a lifetime.

We were a pair of cocoa beans

hardened by the past,

but now the only darkness

I know is a cup of hot chocolate

when I'm with you.

Just when I decided

to be a plain cold brew,

I found the creamier side

of me in you.

No witty plots.

No dirty politics.

You make this love

look like a house

I could always go home to.

You make this love

feel like a hot chocolate

in an autumn day

I never knew.
