"My Cherry Amour" Nails

Good day everyone!!! I had my nails done again the weekend.

Have you encountered days that you wanted to be really creative but you just can't squeeze your mind on anything new? It happened to me, I am one of the most creative person you may find but I had my short portion of "Brain drained" when I was asked what nail design I would like to have (Gosh, such big problems huh? You thought I was referring to a life long decision? nah..that's me, I stress on the smallest detail lol)

What a girl to do to be creative? Look around...and anything that we can see can be inspiring! And when I say everywhere, I mean it! I promise, this may sound superficial, but this doesn't only have to do with nails or beauty. Anytime you need inspiration, just LOOK AROUND. You will definitely get answers!

In my case, I am a superficial whore that day, I looked around, and my eyes fell on my pajama! It was a green "cherry designed" pajama pants. EUREKA!

I swear, they are cherries! hahaha I should have taken a shot upside down as this photo looks like flowers! <-- Talking to myself (sorry)

Sorry Kitty lovers, I didn't mean to step on Hello Kitty's face :( I just wanted to show a lovely face so you guys won't get distracted by my feet! LOL

Just a little update, I am starting to do nail art for my mom, and she's loving it!!! The first time I've done it, I was expecting it to come out really gross and ugly! I was honestly surprised and happy with the outcome, so surprised I forgot to take a photo of it! If I'm ready, I'll definitely show it to you guys!

Life is full of love, happiness and inspiration
make everyday.. a Cherry-ful day!

My favorite magazines

Aside from make-up, I have been collecting magazines as long as I remember. I started young. I was in highschool then when I had my first magazine collection -- YM, Seventeen International version. Trust me, I would really save up my money for those magazines. I guess that's how I learned make-up and fashion at an early age. I guess that is why I always have a say or two when a beauty related problem spurts out as I have my fair share of fashion and beauty education through magazines!

I am happy that the Philippines have their own franchise of the magazines that we can only find internationally in the past. No offense, I love international magazines but I hate it if I've seen such wonderful advertisements but I can't seem to find the products as most of them are not available here. (same with blog reading..sigh)

Let me share to you some magazines I've been loyal to for the past years! When I say loyal, I subscribe, and others, I purchase them monthly!

Here are the magazines I swore on to....

1. Girlfriend Magazine Philippines

This magazine, I bought since their first issue. I have won 2x Letter of the Month here! That's how much I loved this magazine that I really take time to write to them and give out my 2 cents and of course, letting them know how much I appreciate them. This magazine is so easy to reach, down-to-earth and I've met some of their staffs and they are really nice . The mag's straight to the point, easy to understand the message they're trying to send out to readers like us. And what's my favorite about them? The fact that they showcase beauty products and gives you the choice to choose based on your budget. They really feels like Girlfriends to me!

2. Marie Claire

You want best of both fashion and beauty world? Marie Claire is definitely the answer. MC is everything rolled into one! I love their versatility, I get to know high end apparel, bags, shoes but I also love that they showcase local products that are our pride as well. They also have their monthly featured articles which would either be about other cultures or other happenings across the globe. I love MC because they are very versatile!

3. Seventeen Magazine

A "teeny-bobby" publication at first glance, but looks definitely can be deceiving. Seventeen mag is quite small compared to the rest of my collection but the content aren't superficial at all. I love the way they showcase different styles on make-up using great photographers who can capture such different looks. I can't help but stare at the photos and learn a thing or two on make-up do's and don'ts myself. They also feature great hairstyle articles which showcase 7 days of easy hairstyles you can enjoy whether you are a student or a career woman like I am! And did I say that it is SUPER HANDY? (I did, just repeating myself lol)

Of course, there are some international magazines that I love as well. But I have to be honest, the cheapo in me would buy them several months after at the Booksale! I have my own reasons though. With international magazines, i don't have to buy them right on time as the "new" products launced won't be available here in the Philipines like several months after! That means, I don't have access to a lot of newly launched collection, so no point in learning about it early on! lol

Why do I buy Allure mags? I like to check out the best make-up, I want to be "in the loop" on products even though they're not available here! I love their make-up shots and they inspire me to create looks on my friends or myself! :)

You know what? I told myself a girl don't need to read all those magazines,
but I just can't help it! They make it so interesting, the front page so glossy...
models ...so beautiful...
these magazines are like "FEMALE PLAYBOY MAGAZINE" for me..
always calling for my name! lol
Do I need to go to rehab?
or am I just normal?
