An interesting day at Filene's Basement

March 28,2008, my husband and I (actually only me) woke up early in the morning ( which is highly unusual for me) to get ready for Filene's Basement biggest Bridal sales event.I don't really buy sale stuff because they're usually a year or 2 year old clothes or prolly has defects on it but hey if I could find a Vera Wang bridal gown for $300,I will!!!so anyway,the sales event as described in the link is a lot of pushing,running and fighting for every gown you could find.Am I ready for that?Well,I have been working out so might as well use my muscles to my advantage. We drove to New Jersey where Filene's basement is at. I was hoping and praying that it's not crowded like the other bridal sales event that was held in Boston.And it wasn't!Well,kinda but not that bad. I know I should have brought a girlfriend to help me but can't find any in last minute.We started looking for a gown.And when we did found something,my husband told me we have to "make" our own dressing station. I was like,"What are you trying to say??!" I looked around at every corner and brides are trying on the gowns right there and then!!Can you get the picture?Women,wearing only their bras and changing outside the dressing room!!!Never would I imagine myself taking my top off in front of public!But hey,if you can't beat them,join them!It was fun in a way of being free and liberated.hey,how often can you take your top off inside a department store in front of other people?! tried a total of 6 gowns but went home empty handed.Now I know why they were on sale,they have rips,dirt and damn,can't find my size.

So the search of the perfect bridal gown will continues...It was fun though and I learned a lot from that experience.Ask me what?

Well,never buy anything on sale..shhhh!!!My husband can't find out about that.

Bridezilla in the making?

499 days until my wedding day! Still a lot of time to plan, play and relax right? NOT! Well, not for me of course. I’m should you say an Obsessive Compulsive freak. Did I say freak?? I guess I did! Bless my husband’s soul and good nature! He’s been patient and understanding about my whims, moods and irks. My mom would attest that with me, I tend to get freaked out if things don’t go smoothly as I wanted it to be. My hubby accused me of being a perfectionist. Which I’m not! Right? Am I?? By George! I think I am!!! Well, there’s nothing wrong on being one. I blamed it on being a Virgo. Yeah, that’s right! Virgos are known to be a perfectionist, OC and systematic yet gentle, down to earth and sweet….
Whoever said it’s still early at this time to plan for a wedding is a nitwit!

It’s never too early to plan especially if it’s one of the biggest events in your life (next to giving birth if you’re a woman). It’s like going to Fresh market and pick the freshest produce there is! And that’s what I’m doing! Looking and getting if not the best but suppliers who gives a good deal. Yes, I have to admit where in these early stages of planning I had my moments of freaking out but crazy freakin’ shit out. Excuse moi! But I have my excuses! I don’t want to elaborate it but it’s been solved. My hubby just looked at me one day and asked,” Are you gonna be one of those bridezillas?”

I mean, the way he looked at me is like he already predicts who I am to become. Gasp! Que horror! Of course I’m not! If I’m becoming or a bridezilla, I would prolly have been on a roll of booking suppliers as fast as I could like running to a big sale of Manolo Blahnik shoes! ‘Or freakin’ out on the telephone and demanding to speak to their superiors. Really,John (that’s my hubby’s name), why would you think something like that?? And I gave him my most sweet and charming smiles. I guess that convinced him..for awhile

My Love for Mario Badescu

My first post!!Well,I've been very busy and really don't know where to start.Y'all might think that I'm writing my first post about my undying love for a certain Mario Badescu.That I'm going to get mushy and cheesy.Well,you're right AND wrong!Who is Mario Badescu,you ask?He's a genius and woman's next bff!He's the owner of a skinline products both women AND men!So there I was,sitting in front of this pc,emailing my ever dearest cousin asking for help about my face.I've never had pimples and serious breakouts before.But last year,it's like my face is a constellation of breakouts!I've never been so conscious about my face!!!Anyway,she recommended a Mario Badescu seaweed night cream.And I said,who?She said the product is really good.So I used the search engine and look for this Mario guy.I found his website and boy,lots of products for different skin types and problems.I immediately answered the questionnaires to know what skin products should I use for my skin.They recommended me this facial cleanser,moisturizer,masks,drying lotion,buffering lotion and night cream.Really!It's kinda pricey for a small bottle.But then I was desperate!I went to Nordstorm instead of going to the city to buy some products.I used it that night and prayed that I didn't spend $100 for nothing!I used Glycolic Toner after washing my face.Feels kinda tingy.Then used the seaweed night cream.Following day,oh my!My face and the texture of my skin feels and look different.Hmmm..loving it.But wait!I used the collagen moisturizer which is really nice.But the true test was the buffering lotion and drying lotion.It's supposed to treat pimples,breakouts...there was a lot of good reviews for these 2 products so I tried it the 2nd day.Wow!!My pimples as of this day (6th day) is almost gone!They're fading away!!!And the texture of my skin at the same time looks sooooo good!Even my husband notice the change on my face!But I do have to buy the healing and soothing mask to prevent it from drying.That's the only glitch.You have to buy each of their product coz it's for different uses.But I don't mind.It's not expensive as it seems if it works for you.I used Mary Kay before and i thought I found the one but i never had this results before since using Mario!Oh!i think I'm getting samples just by filling up the consulation questionnaires but I just can't wait!
