Ed Hardy & Manhattan

It's 12:32 midnight already and I know I'm supposed to be in bed having my beauty rest and dreaming about makeup and beauty products (That's how I'm obsessed with makeup), but I'm just so excited to blog about these 2 new products that I'm so excited to try.Ed Hardy shimmering body lotion and Manhattan high shine lipgloss. These were given by my dear Mom today. I love my Mommy...♥♥♥ I just swatched the products on my hand and I loved them. 

The Ed Hardy shimmering body lotion was nice. It's not too shimmery that you might worry you might look like the vampires in "Twilight". It gives a amount of shine that makes your skin look kinda dewy when it hits the sunlight or any light. It smells good too like roses. 

The Manhattan high shine lipgloss is nice too. I just heard the brand Manhattan from the moment I received the lipgloss today, so I've never heard it before. It was a nice burgundy color. It has tons of light illuminating (small glitters) so its definitely a high gloss. It smells so good too like berries. Makes me wanna eat it all up when on my lippy... Hihihi! I love berry scented lipgloss. ♥♥♥ 

Try these products if you get to see them on beauty shops or stores. Enjoy!^^ (time for Zzzz...)

Caviar Inspired Nail Art

This type of nail art is so cool. It will look more cuter with colorful micro beads. 

To learn how to do them, watch Michelle's Phan tutorial video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klVSSoB90ZE

For all nail art lovers out there... Tell me what you guys think about Michelle Phan's caviar inspired nails. Have fun! ♥♥♥♥

Indie music is fun!

Hello bloggers, readers! It's pouring light rain right now and its giving me the mood to blog. 

Let's talk about music. I've always loved music since I was in toddler years, nah kidding, when I was about 9 or 10 years young. Hihi! These couple of months ago, I've been listening to indies or indie music. Examples are "Foster the People", "Ed Sheeran", "Wonderland", "Gotye", "Neon Trees" and a lot more. 

So I found this indie singer (I guess??? but I know its indie. Oh well.. hihi!) that I'm super duper addicted listening now and past few days ago. Her name is Mindy Gledhill. I knew about her on Michelle Phan's makeup tutorial videos on YouTube. (Oh yea! I'm such a Michelle Phan's fan! Ooo that rhymes!^^) I find Mindy Gledhill's music relaxing, cute, fun and it makes me wanna smile all the time when I listen to it. It's that good! Well for me. Haha! I love listening to it when I'm putting on my makeup. 

This is Mindy Gledhill's newest album I think and I love almost all the songs in it.

Will post some YouTube links of Mindy's music. These are the songs I like most.

Kaskade and Mindy Gledhill have a mash up together. This song is also featured in some of Michelle Phan's YouTube videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7RyZ4Zf4Dk

I hope you guys enjoy Mindy Gledhill's music like I do and Michelle Phan too. Xoxo ♥

Hello Sunshine

Oh, how I love the sunshine. I like it better than rain. Well I love the rain too especially when your at home, chillin and sippin' your hot chocolate. I love how the rain sounds and its smell when it hits the dry hot ground. Enough about rain. I know that there is no getting around the fact that sunlight is hard on our skin, especially us girls. The sunlight benefits us in so many ways. It delivers heat that raise our core body temperature and the higher core body temperature, will increase our cell function and higher energy. This increases our detoxification and purification systems. How cool is that? The sun has this UVB rays which our body synthesize Vitamin D. Vitamin D is most known to regulate calcium levels and absorption. It is also important for healthy immune function, nervous function, and blood sugar regulation. I've read in the internet, 20 minutes of sunlight on our arms, hands and face will produce about 400 IU of Vit D. For those who's still enjoying their summer get-away, a day of summer sun in a bikini until the skin is pink will produce as much as 20,000 IU of Vit D. Nice!!! ;) Like me, cause I stay in a tropical country, a day in a tropics could easily result in 100,000 IU of Vit D. Hurray!!! 

So don't neglect the sun you guys. Love it! Cause it does a lot of good things for our health. Spend just 30 mins out in the sun. Let the sun hit your face, arms, your whole body. Well we've all heard that the sun is also cancerous when you stay long especially when its so high.  So I suggest that you do your 30 mins sunlight routine in the morning. Probably like 8 in the morning. Get that Vitamin D in you and GLOW like the sun.
