Feed My Vanity

Now this is what I call buyer’s remorse:

tweezers

 I sometimes tweeze my eyebrows myself because I’m too cheap to shell out 5o bucks to have somebody shave/tweeze/pluck/thread it for me. Everyone knows how hard it is to tweeze eyebrows without good lighting and a mirror. You can’t do it lying down because then you’re handheld mirror would block the light and one is bound to miss few hairs even when you practically cross your eyes leaning to your mirror.

So when I saw this magnification tweezer from Landmark for P59.75 I decided to give this too-good-to-be-true a try.

Like all things too good to be true, this one was a disappointment. The point being of this post is to never buy anything if you already have a hunch it’s just going to end up as one of those doodads that you eventually dump in one of your old eyeglass cases which serve as a graveyard for “things that don’t really have a function but then might eventually come in handy in the distant future”.

Anyway, until then, when dieting, here’s a nice proverb to remember “A beautiful figure is worth more than a thousand beautiful dresses”. Sad, but true. Now, I hope I’ll remember that whenever I look at my thighs. Yes, I am insecure like that.

Believe me. If you’re a middle-class, average income-r yuppie who lives from paycheck to paycheck, who regularly sadly choose between the groceries to new shoes, an occasion such as this deserves pictures:

my preciousssss......Stuff I can only afford on sale. I am all sunshine-y like that.

topshop top and stockings

Somebody please educate me on what Ultimate 3D stretch means

Top = 599 from 1599

I have a fascination for stripes. I bought a similar top for the boyfriend a few months ago. Which produced the agreement to never wear the same top in public lest we be mistaken for couples who wear matching outfits. No offense to those who do, but it’s just not our thing.

I plan to wear the top with a short black skirt, and if I’m feeling lazy, then maybe slacks for that nautical look. I’m gonna scout around too for a necklace to match it.

Also, I’ve been on the lookout for colored stockings for a long time now. But most I’ve found are expensive (If you’re interested, Landmark has really nice colored stockings from Japan, but it’s gonna cost you around P600). I want stockings in plum, but since it was a sale, pickiness is a luxury I cannot afford. You can’t exactly see it in the pic, but the stockings are navy blue. Very slimming. *clap clap*. Stockings cost me around P150 in Topshop. Yes! P150. It was orginally P295 though. If you’re in Mall of Asia, then do drop by Topshop for what’s left of the sale.

Question of the day: What the hell are they playing at proms now?

I am genuinely curious. It’s not even prom season anymore, but it’s one of those out-of-place questions I suddenly pipe in the middle of a meeting. During my time it was “Tell Me”, “Standing By My Window”, “King & Queen of Hearts” and the sweetest asshole song in the whole friggin’ world “Would You Be My No. 2?”.

What is it now? Rihanna? Bieber? Do kids now sweetly rap together? Do they sing Ke$ha songs in unison? Educate me. I would ask the boy that is said to be my brother. But I don’t speak Gremlin.
