Home Massage, Anyone?



I remembered 2 years ago, I went to Malaysia with my friends. We walked so much that I lost the feelings on my legs! As I was strolling along the mall, I saw a sales guy coming towards me. The usual "Nikki" instinct would give out this apologetic smile and say "no thanks". But as I was looking at the product on his hand, I was so curious and drawn to it. Well, aside from the fact that I saw a massage chair as well. Who wouldn't want to sit on a massage chair for FREE?

Are we ready for Alien Porn?

Here's such a wonderful side angle... Sexy!



The button you see below that looks like a mouth is the ON/OFF button

This will be the exact moment I go:
"ooohh ahhh!"

My Citre Shine Loot Bag

Can I be honest?
Do you know that I am not the type of person who gets stuff without working hard for it?
Everything I own, everything you see in me..
I've worked hard for it.
I'm glad though, coz it made me understand the value of everything I have
Tangible or intangible.

That is why, my jaw nearly dropped...
and my tongue nearly rolled into the Oscars --- as red carpet...
When I won this lovely loot bag
from my favorite magazine!!!
(can you just believe it that I was just talking about them days ago?)
Girlfriend magazine, thank you!
I must be doing something good...

Here's my winnings
Yup, they're all mine!

"It looks soooo lovely!!!! I just want to hug them to sleep" LOL

I am always open to set aside my HG shampoo and conditioner just to try out other stuffs

Askmewhats Reviews: The Body Shop Mini Brush Kit

As you all know, I love to do make up on other people and I don't want to take along with me all the long handled brushes, I thought of buying a mini brush set. And I gave in with the Body Shop Mini Brush Kit. They cost around Php1,000 (approx $22.00).

I gave in because it is so small and compact and I can just bring it anywhere!

Here's how the set looks like




When opened, you find a small mirror
and 4 mini pockets to put in your brushes




Each of them are approximately a size of a PINKY finger!

Yup, very SMALL




The Body Shop Says ---

A portable, stylish-looking pouch containing miniature versions of The Body Shop make-up Blusher Brush, Eye Shadow Brush, Slanted Brush and Lipstick/Concealer Brush.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros
  • indeed very portable
  • the brushes are very soft (because it's synthetic)
  • since it is quite small, easy to pack on eyeshadow colors to my "small eyes"
Cons
  • the handle is too short, difficult to apply make-up

Overall




1. Lipstick/Concealer Brush

I like it that they have a cap to make it hygienic. I think this is better used as a lipstick brush rather than a concealer brush.

2. Eyeshadow Brush

This is my favorite among the 4 brushes! I like it that I can easily pack on colors with this brush. Again, because this is quite small, it is easier to apply with my smaller eye area!

3. Slanted brush

I tried using this as an eyeliner brush, it just won't work as the brush is quite long and it tends to be soft so it bends a bit more making my eyeliner smudge. So this is the best to be used as an eyebrow brush.

4. Cheek Blush/Blusher Brush

I find this is a bit too small to be a cheek brush. I wanted my cheek brush to be fluffy. I use this brush though to remove the excess make-up below my eyes!


Will I repurchase?
No, again, I take care of my brushes and I won't need this til after 10years? lol


Let me leave you guys a question,
I want to know...
What's your travel brushes?

Weekend Food Tripping at: Heaven n' Eggs

WARNING: Food porn again! lol

Heaven & Eggs, got famous because of their pancakes! But do not expect us just to eat pancakes! Me and my hubby are quite adventurous and we always dine in this restaurant and would order different dishes!

We were greeted with a lovely Heavenly Ambience.... Let me show you a photo of this lovely place when we were still dating!

This photo was taken at the Timog branch year 2006...
we were still BF and GF then




And now that we're married, nothing will change. We will find time once or twice a week to dine out and enjoy dishes we had and reminisce.... (60's music on the background lol)

Here's a freebie that greeted us if we use our Metrobank Credit Card
Pinoy Nacho

(tip: Always check with the waiter if there are some good freebies for certain credit card companies, they ALWAYS have something up to their sleeves and you won't know unless you ASK)



I love the crispiness of the nacho topped with cheese, tomatoes, mangoes and pork

Our all-time favorite
Asian Chicken Salad
(Php 200 something approx $5.00)



This is one of our favorite salad because the sauce is totally different. They use "Hoissen" sauce <-- Chinese sauce , instead of the usual Caesar salad. I love the crispy noodle with cabbage and the best part is the Roasted Chicken! YUMMMM BUT, today, it was a bit disappointing. Since we had this salad for more than 10x in our lifetime, that can make us an expert on this dish. The salad tastes so bitter we just have to drown the salad with water! After several bites, I told my hubby we have to tell the staffs it doesn't taste good so they won't serve it to other customers. (Yup, we do care) We told the staffs nicely and they willingly gave us back a menu and told us to order something else.

Smoked Bacon and Sausage Pasta

(for Php279.00 approx $6.00)



The garlic bread tastes wonderful. I love pastas that are of different shapes! (childish I know). You can taste the herbs every bite. This is delicious. It's good for sharing and I just love that it can tingle your tastebuds.

And since we were full with some salad we ate and the pasta, we had the Roast Beef Sandwhich order to go in exchange for the Salad that tastes "BLAH"

Roast Beef Sandwhich
(Php295.00 approx $6.50)







I can't explain how yummy it is eventhough we ate this the next day. Strips of roast beef topped with gravy and onions with my ultimate favorite food...POTATOES! I forgot the bitterness of the salad with this wonderful sandwhich!


Have you had any bad dish that you have to return?
where they nice to you?
