Valentines + A weekend of money spending

Monday, February 14th 2011 - 8:43 PM

Although this is suppose to be a time where I am saving money, and not buying too much so I don't have to carry a lot with me when I move, except necessary items, the weekend of February 11th & 12th, I seemed to find exactly what is absolutely necessary and pissed my money away!!

1. EXTREMELY NECESSARY ITEM NO. 1: An adidas Originals casual wear training suit because one day before I was watching "stomp the yard" and it always fascinated me how everyone dancing looks so good, funky, hip and young. Although I wont be dancing anytime soon, you do need a good pair comfy wearing track suit to go grocery shopping with! and everyone's rockin' Juicy Couture and is just too cute for my taste!

Hot!

2. EXTREMELY NECESSARY ITEMS NO. 2 : Make up

Revlon - Lipgloss - Pink Crystals (no. 21)

Bourjois - Lipstick - Sweet Kiss (no. 41)

L'Oreal Paris Blush - Rouge/Concrete

Revlon - Lipstick - Soft Nude (No. 070)

The attempt of buying drug store make up was not to spend money on expensive label makeups, a phase I was going through, spending over 100 $ on make up like MAC and Clinique!

However, the outcome was the same, as the quantity I buy is much more, so the amount of money I spent in the end is just as bad. These products however, I am loving, and you don't feel as bad when using them because each is roughly about 10 $, unlike my 28 $ MAC lipstick... used on occasions and with so much care...!

3. EXTREMELY NECESSARY ITEM NO. 3 : BOOK

Also as I was running out of creams (ones I blogged earlier this month) and went out to buy these necessary items that were running out, could not help but stop at the book store (Yes, I do have around 10 books I still haven't read, but I love entering book shops and purchasing books). Most of the books I read are usually mystery and adventurous fictions, as I love novels written by Dan Brown and Steve Berry, they are so complex. However, recently (winter) I find it really hard to stay up in bed and concentrate while reading, so I needed an easier fun book that doesn't require my brain to be 100 % operating, and been reading those girly books. A friend of mine introduced me a few Sophie Kinsella books, and although I never thought I'd say this, those girly silly pink novels are so spirit lifting. It is amazing how much you can relate. Although I do love chick flicks, movies don't really tell you how they feel when they break up, you just see them crying in their PJs in their Manhattan apartment eating Hagen-Daz... But in the book when the character tells the reader : I feel humiliated, I am so embarrassed, I was a joke to him, I can't show up at work tomorrow. You can't help but completely understand how she feels. Two books I read for Sophie Kinsella are "Can you keep a secret?" and "Remember Me?". I preferred the first one

Completely went off the topic, I bought a book written by the same author who wrote Sex and The City :

I bought the book for the obvious reason, the cover was so cute!! And next to it is my fluffy doggy book mark, although purchased many months ago, thought I'd share as it makes book reading so much more exciting!!

4. EXTREMELY NECESSARY ITEM NO. 4: Valentines Gift,

Last but not least, today is valentine's day, and although single, I am a happy valentiner! It never bugs me that I am single and have as much reason to celebrate. On the contrary, instead of spending money on someone else, I get to spend money on myself and get what I want (instead of getting a present, which a lot of the times is lovely, but not exactly what you want...).

A Heart shaped Strawberry Tart!! (^_^) - and just like Valentine's Day is suppose to be, mine with filled with LOVE! well my tummy was <3
