AMW Reviews: Etude House Water Color Blusher in Apricot

How are you AMW friends?
I recently posted a query on my Facebook page (AskMeWhats) asking readers what particular Korean makeup they want me to review!  And guess what?  It wasn't a shocker for me to get requests for Etude House!  It took me some time to finally visit Etude House store at Market Market when I was shopping for Christmas gifts last year! 

Thankfully, most of the requests are products I wouldn't mind purchasing!  First stop:  Etude House Water Color Blusher!  The moment I set my eyes on them, I immediately fell in love and swatched them all and picked a shade I would wear on a daily basis!  It's APRICOT!  The shade that would work so well on my skin tone!

Eureka Moment: For Your Home

Happy New Year again AMW Friends!
Are you back at work?  Well, either you're in the office or at home, I would like to thank you for visiting this blog for updates!  I appreciate it a lot! :)  *hugs*

Today is my first Eureka Moment for the year 2014 and there will definitely be more to come!  Since I think you guys are a huge part of my life, I would like to share to you that we are moving (not countries, but I'm referring to home!)  It is not far from where I live but yes, it is one huge step for us to move out and I'm sure it won't be easy!  

One thing about the Chinese culture when moving houses, aside from picking a good date, there are also some no-nos when it comes to drilling!  For someone who loves trinkets and cute stuff, and let's not forget, with a baby around, you bet I can fill up the house in no time!  So I'm definitely on the lookout for products that would help us keep our home simple yet organized! 

First Eureka Moment --- Home Edition!  SureStick!

SureStick is owned by a dear blog reader and a high school mate of mine!  :)  Thankfully, this isn't a shameless plug as when I received the products, I knew I would love them as they are indeed made of good quality and I can't wait to install them at focal points of our new home!

I know you can find hooks and attachments at various shops but what I love about Surestick is the wide arrays of colors and designs you can choose from!

Welcome 2014! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year AMW Friends!
Wow, I have celebrated Christmas and New Year on this blog for the 6th time!  And I'm looking forward to celebrate more special days and milestones with YOU!

With our busy schedule, I am glad I was able to squeeze in a quick photoshoot at The Picture Company, SM Mall of Asia last Christmas.  For someone who is very OC, this is a very disorganized, spur of the moment shoot so I'm so glad the photos came out great!  I guess, the most important thing about family photos aren't the props, costumes or makeup, it is the true happiness and love that exudes even on still photos! :)

Overall, the schedule of the shoot was a bit messed up but I'm still satisfied with the service of The Picture Company especially our photographer Ms. Cess, she is very fun and Kyle loves her!  As for the rate, well, it is really expensive to have baby photos taken but at the end of the day, as parents, you won't think twice spending your hard earned money for your little one!  AGREE? :D

Enjoy and I hope our photos can bring good vibes to you this 2014!

Weekend Food Trip at: Yabu, SM Mall of Asia

Why do I love Yabu House of Katsu?
Well aside from the fact that AskMeWhats' thoughts of dining at Yabu were posted at the wall of "feedbacks" at various Yabu branches *shameless plug* 

There's always the feeling of satisfaction when I'm craving for good Tonkatsu or Katsudon.  I've dined at Yabu SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia and SM Robinsons Magnolia numerous times but I didn't get to blog about them because I tend to order the same dish over and over again!  (Hello Hire and Seafood Katsu Set!)  Just in case you want to look back at my first time experience at Yabu, SM Megamall, feel free to revisit my blog post here

L- preggy AMW craving for Curry R-Post preggy AMW still craving for anything Yabu!

Recently, I was invited by Erika Lim of Yabu to try out Yabu's new dishes!  Thanks to her we were finally going out of our shell to try out Yabu's new offerings!

Hey cleansing oil lovers!
There is a new cleansing oil in town and it is from The Body Shop!  I guess this is Body Shop's first cleansing oil and it's housed in a very cute, clear bottle that looks so good on my sink!  Aside from it looking aesthetically good, how good does it really work in removing makeup?

Okay, before you scroll down and read my review, let us just enjoy the look of TBS Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil against the product background (bagay no?) :P
