I'm BACK!!! Happy Holidays!!

Sup everybody!!!
How was everyone's X-Mas???

I spent the holidays in HAWAII!!! yeah- yeah (doing the cabbage patch)
This is the x-mas tree at the hotel.

They had this cool city model too.. pretty neat. It even had a train going around the town!


This was our view from the Sheraton Princess Hotel


We had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory for our Christmas eve dinner.
We have been celebrating on x-mas eve since, like forever!! It's my family's tradition to have dinner and hang out together and stay up until midnight to open presents!!! Maybe it's just not ours, but that's how they do it. hahaha.

Yummy.. I got the breaded shrimp pasta... it was delish!!

We also went on a Grand tour around the island...

I have a ton of pictures... So I've added them on a slide show.
Hehehe...^-^

So my time in Hawaii was very chill. There was one night where the whole island was blacked out for 12 hr or more. It was scary and creepy. We were at the mall at time, and they pretty much kicked everyone out and closed the gates and people just started to head back to their hotels. When we got there, they passed out light sticks and stuff, and we chilled by the pool, since there was nothing else to do. The power at Wakiki didn't come up until the next morning at about 8am, but other parts where not up and running yet, so we missed out on going to Hanama Bay. :( that was a bummer.

I was pretty much makeup free the entire time.. hehehe ^-^ The only thing I wore was a bit of liner and lip balm, I tried out the blue gel liner one from coastal scents. Unfortunately, it creased and ran a bit. I will have to try it with primer and see how that goes.

Look what santa bought!!!!! I guess I've been a good little girl!! hahahah

I got the Speedy 25, the cosmetic bag and wallet... I don't know what it is.. I just have to have the whole set! I have a problem, a label whore problem. HAHHAHA
This is my first LV though and it will probably be my last. I'm not much of a Louie fan, but I have always loved their Speedy bags. I'm more into Gucci and Dior...
Anywho.. I love, love, love my Xmas present!!!!

My Saturday Afternoon look

Just a Saturday afternoon...I decided to play with the sample of Coastal Scents sent in Tangerine Pearl.


I added a brown from the 26 palette on the cease.
and lined my eyes with a black pencil.
finished with a nude lip and off I went.
I didn't want to do to much cuz we were just going to get my hubby's hair cut. AHHHAA
We ready need to start packing for our trip!!
I'm so excited!! Warm weather here I come!! YAY!!! ^-^

Adorned with Grace

Yay.. ^-^ (doing the booty dance) I got my order from adorned with Grace the other day.
Here are the goodies.......
isn't their packaging cute!!



They were really sweet!!! They added some samples.
A Blush *Passionate - Eyeshadow * Stunning & Powder * Medium/Dark Heavenly





Here are the swatches of the Eyes shadow and Blush.
The eye shadow is a pretty brown with gold.
The blush ia very peachy.

I got this the next two items as a combo sale!! Travel medal eyelash comb...

and a mascara guard. This really helps me get my lashes covered with the mascara and not mess up my eye shadow.


And my two little brushes

When I washed them, it did shed a bit, and when I applied my powder, it shed a little on my face, BUT I'm hoping it will stop shedding. It's super cute and compact.
Thanks again to Christiana for posting the sale on her blog!!!! High Five!!!

ARHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! WTH

ARHHHH What the hell!!!
Who parks like this????? These two cars took up four spots!!!



This is on the right side of my complex. We have very limited space for parking in this area and I only have a single garage, and we have two cars. So every parking space is very valuable, so to see these Mother -F'er parking like this made my blood boil!!!!! ARHHHHHH.... I was so close to slashing their tires!!!!
I mean really??? who F'n parks like this?????
I need to go breathe....

Does anyone else have parking issues???? I hope i'm not the only person that thinks this is retarded! HAHHAHAH ^-^

Coastal Scents - Gel Liners and stuff....

Hola folks...

So today I received my coastal scent order!! YAY!!!! ^-^( doing the running man, ahuh, ahuh)
The gels and brush were in this pretty turquoise bag..


They also gave me a sample of the Tangerine Pearl Mica Powder. It's a pretty gold metallic color. Great for the holidays!!

This is the 26 Shadow Blush Combo Palette $21.95


Pro Eyelash Defining Comb. $3.89
I was using the plastic one, and it would get all clumpy. So after Christiana raved about this medal one working fabulous, I decided to give it a try. I also ordered the one she suggested for traveling from adorned with grace minerals and since they were having a sale I had to jump on it. hehehe ^-^
I hope it comes in this week, I will need it for my trip next week.

Gel Liners - $6.95 each
Left to Right - Truffle, Indigo
Grape Vine, True Black

Sorry these swatches aren't that great...
My lighting sucks.

It guides on very soft! Can't wait to try these babies!!!!
They state that these are better then Mac and it stays put and doesn't crease, so i'm excited to see if it passes the test!!
Only thing is that it's still cold right now.... So I will have to think of way to test them. Anyone have a good idea to test that?? Cuz usually in the summer the MAC fluid liner usually always crease on me.

The party was nice, seemed like it went by fairly quick. We got there at 6:30 and left by 11:30pm. The food was great.. but the desert.. was...yummmy!!! it didn't help my diet at all...

I was surprised that his company 1 had this event, 2 they a band, and 3 they still passed out prizes!!!! It was good to see that his company was showing some mad employee appreciation. It was a great party!!!! and my hubby won a hundred dollar gift card to the Westfield!!! yayaaaaa.... shopping here I come!!! HIGH FIVE!!! ^-^

Ink any one????

So I was reading Kimberly's blog regarding tats and I wanted to share my ink work too.(I'm such a biter) HEHEHE..

Mind you, I got my first ink work when I was 18, and that was many moons ago and my last one was about two years ago, so the art is not as nice and colorful as they are making them now.
I still want one more....Just one more....promise that will be it! (wink)

This was my first tat back in the day....do i dare say when... HAHAAH
Back in 1994!!! damn I'm an old ass!! Boooo :(
So if you can't tell, it's a dragon. MUAHAHHHAHH
I'm year for the dragon baby.. ^-^
I got it to represent my Chinese zodiac symbol.
It's on my left upper outter part of my thigh.
Some people tease and ask me if i got it in jail becuase it's so old... and if you're curious, that a no.. HAHAHA
I am thinking about adding to it and maybe adding color or something.. just so it doesn't look so Blah....So this on will be on the to be continued ink...

This one was my second and third. Second and third you ask?? well, I had the drama faces, cry now, cry later.. which looks like this:

I was going through a lot so I got this to represent my life at that moment.
BUT several years later, I felt that I was done with going through the drama and decided to cover it up and got a butterfly to represent rebirth and moving forward, so it had to be mid flight to represent departure.
Can you spot the faces underneath?

My forth....


This is on my back, starting from my neck and down the middle.
This represents my Japanese heritage. It's my last name, but let me clarify since i'm married.
It's my current last name, which is my fathers. I did not take on my husbands last name because one, I love my last name, and two I didn't feel I needed to change the name I carried for such a long time and it is who I am. It's just my personal preference.

I would love to get one more, but like Kimberly, I'm not sure yet on where it would go.
I kind of wanted a sleeve tattoo but my hubby thinks that's a bit much, and I am getting old.. ahhahah... plus I go back and forth on that so, until I'm 100% sure, I'll hold of on that.
Another tat I want to get is the word Saki with a paw print inked next to it, but I'm not sure where.
Saki is my baby boy.... I woof him sooooo much!!!!

We have had him since he was 2 months old. He just turned 3 this past June.
He's our hairy baby. ^-^
And that's it for now.....

Indian Wedding...

Hola... ^-^

So this past Sunday we attend our first Indian wedding.

We got there way too early, so we waited for two hours at the location. :(
It didn't help that the limo was late to pick up the groom, so it threw the whole schedule off.
We also didn't know what was going on. AHHAHA. We saw people walking outside and found ourselfs in an empty hall. We decided to head outside ourselves, and we heard people cheering and stuff. Everyone was outside!!!!
Apparently, the guest where suppose to follow the groom to the location and like a big cheering crowd, walk him into the hall. hahah
With the direction of the camera guy, he guided us to the back of the crowd.
We all followed the groom in, people cheered and stuff. Then everyone was seated and the ceremony began. So that very interesting and different!

The priest was funny... at the begin, he was making sure the groom was ready.. HAHHA

The priest mention that this was a modified version, and that the traditional version is very extensive. For example, he cut this part to 15 minutes, and It's usually an hour!! Just for this part!! A guest later told us that the ceremonies are usually 4-5 Hours!!! Can you imagine sitting there for that long!! geeze..


They had a great entertainment session too. This girl did a great job dancing their traditional Indian dances. She came all the way from Sac. The wedding was held in San Jose.

They also had Hawaiian dancers and drummers..


They had other dances scheduled, but we didn't get to see the rest, because by 9:00 pm we were ready to go. I was tired, and they were just starting to server dinner too, but with an hour drive back home and having to wake up at the break of dawn the next morning to go to work, we couldn't stay any longer.

Over all, It was a great wedding and I was honored to be asked to be part of something so special!!!!

This is the look I rocked for the wedding...

Just something light. Used browns and golds. ^_^
I have to color my hair.... it has SOOOoooo many colors in it right now!! errrrrr..

NYX Stuff and stuff...

Hola ladies and germs...

So I went shopping and got a few NYX item. I also can not never pass up getting lashes.
I have a wedding to go to tomorrow, so I figured I would give these babies a try. (meaning the lashes.. ahhah)



The shopping list...
Goddess of the night lip gloss in 129 -Beige(It's a pretty Pink gloss)



Lipsticks in Hades (top) and Cocoa (bottom) Pretty shades of golden brown and matte brown.


Eye shadows in Eggplant ( it's a dark purple with a little glitter to it)
and Beauty Queen ( Brown with a little gold glitter)



The color swatches sucked I know. The lighting in my room and in the bathroom sucked :( Can't say I didn't try.

I'm planning on doing a collection list with swatches soon, so I'll add it to that list. With better lighting. ^-^

Ok.. so I also went to get the Lash Blast everyone is talking and I got the wrong one... Duh....


I got the regular one and not the water proof kind(of course, I learned this AFTER I opened the package)
This is important ladies.....the regular one sucks.. after curling my lashes, I put this on, and it made my lashes limp Or maybe MY lashes are just retared :( I'm bummed.
SO... if you decide to get this, make sure you get the WATERPROOF kind. Don't make the same mistake I did.
The waterproof kind has more wax in it so it helps keep the curl.

I usually wear Katie B's Faux Lashes, but it's near it's end :( This stuff is like gold!!!!! My lashes look full and they stayed curled all day long!!

I guess I'm just going to have to order more. I just wanted to get the Lash Blast because it was easy access, no waiting and I was already at the store. Lesson learned.

You can check out her stuff here:

Her products are awesome!! TWO THUMBS UP!

Moving on.... I got this from my hair guy. After he did his magic, my hair felt like silk!!! I asked what the hell he put in my hair and he said he added this before he started cutting.

Tri- Wheat Leave-In Conditioner
*Designed for all hair types
*Natural Ingredients such as wheat proteins, walnut leaf extracts and water lily extract leaves hair tangle free & eliminates static

Finally, I got this dress from forever 21

Here is a close up

Maybe you ladies give me your suggests on what kinda accessories I can wear with this?
