Mentioned in my previous blog post that Ive started a Korean skincare routine (read here if you haven't). I've shopped for Korean skin care products at ph.Althea.kr.

Althea is the national flower of Korea...

What I like about Althea:

For my first haul in Althea I ordered individual products because I want to buy each products I want to incorporate in my skin care routine. This products are not just the most popular and mostly reviewed online but also seen effective for starters of Korean skin care routine.

Shopping for everything nowadays gets extra hard because you have so many options where to shop. And not only that, the wide variety of design and styles makes it even more harder. The good thing though is that the designs became more versatile, so if you choose wisely you can wore it again in different season and occasions. All you need is to mix and match it wisely.

On that note, here are some modish bikinis Ive browse at Zaful.com which Im thinking of adding to my closet...
What I love about the styles of this bikini is that the stylish top can also be worn casually. You just layer something on top of it and your good to go... You're swimming ready any time as well. ^_^

To the boy that turned my life into an unexpected and meaningful journey... Happiest birthday! 🎂🎉 Having you is such a blessing. You may appear fancy, but you amaze me with a conservative perspective on things. You may be bossy, but you have the softest and kindest heart, most especially to lonely/homeless/disabled people you see. I hope you'll lessen your time on gadgets and more time on enhancing your skills and talent. Don't let shyness and disappointments stop you from doing things. As I always said to you... "More practice makes you better the next time. Be patient." May you continually grow into a sweet, loving, smart, gentleman and cheerful boy. Always remember that Mama loves you so much, Justine Mars! 😚❤

A package delivered via Air21 the other day and I was very surprise with it. It was the clothes that Ive shopped online, at Dreslily.com, last week. Usually my online shopping orders arrived a month after ordering it but was surprised it arrived 5 days to be exact. All the items Ive selected though are priority dispatch, which you can easily spot because they are marked with "Item dispatched within 3-5 business days."

And when I opened it, I was happy with whats inside. The quality of the clothes are great. I ordered 3 items, jogger pants, palazzo pants, and a white crop top. The jogger pants is for my son because he love joggers. The quality was good, its not thick which is great for a tropical country like ours. Although there loss threads but the stitching is all good.
The next one I shop is the palazzo pants which I think was a love at first sight when I saw it on the website, didn't think twice in adding it to cart. I like the cloth, its cotton blend. Its so soft and flowy.
The last thing I got is this white crop top, which I initially for the bohemian skirt I recently shop online. However, it turns out to be a perfect pair for the palazzo pants. The cloth is knitted cotton and its not itchy. Its soft and not thick. I also like that the crop top is not that short so I can wear it not really worry on exposing too much skin or a.k.a extra belly fats. :D
   Overall experience was excellent... I recommend shopping at Dreslily.com.

Drawstring Jogger Pants 15.68 usd

White KnittedCrop Top 14.97 usd | Layered Palazzo Pants 11.99 usd

A lot of people compared this drama to Goblin but the ending of this drama is way better than that of Goblin. I actually like the story of this drama. There's probably some missing factor to get hooked with it but a least in this drama everything make sense... Well except for that swimming part with awkward hands though... :D 

There's a lot of things shown in every episode of this drama... How much will you give up for power (Ha Baek)... for friendship (Bireom)... for family (Soah's dad)... for humanity (Mr Shin)... for love (Moorah and Ha Baek).... and for yourself (Mr Shin and Ha Baek)... 

Life is all about your journey and how strong enough are you to journey further. I also commend Mr Shin's assistant for trying to make that friendnemy of SoAh realize her actions to be a better person. Her attitude is really annoying. I also like how it ended... fair enough for a human and deity love story.

While waiting for the Korean beauty products that I ordered at Althea. I happened to passed by at one of the beauty shop that is originally from Korea, The Face Shop. And being interested to Korean skincare lately, I go out the shop with several hauls which I though I'd use while waiting for the other Korean beauty products.

This is enriched with lemon extract, it helps eliminate dead skin cells and softly purifies. This also brightens skin and offers you a luminous complexion by removing impurities.

Ive actually ordered in Althea the popular Nature Republic Aloe soothing gel too but can't help on buying this because it was buy 1, take 1 promo. Gave the other to my mo. ^_^

Do you love wearing leggings? What is your favorite way to wear leggings?

If you have been a follower or a reader of my blog you'll probably know that I am not a fan of pants, and this includes leggings. I only have a few of them in my closet and are worn for 2-3 times.

However, I do love sheer leggings because its so stylish and comfortable... I have one before (click here to see the style). I like to wear sheer leggings under a mini skirt, skimpy shorts and bodycon dresse. Then top it with denim or bomber jackets. And finish the look with either a pair of boots or sneakers. 

Here's some very modish sheer leggings online which are definitely a must have whether for fashion, comfort or workout.

All this images are grabbed from Dresslily.com. If your interested visit the website for affordable sheer leggings.

Here's the details of what I've purchase and a review on each of them.

New Womens Floral Chiffon Summer Boho Long Maxi Evening Party Dress Beach Dress (Size: Medium) - This one was disappointing. I love the dress but I don't understand the size, its too big on me as you can see on the image below. However, the gartered end of the arm is so tight. Its chiffon cloth is so thin, perfect for summer. When I opened it when it arrived, the right string was damaged. I thought its okay not to have it but I realized I need to attached it again because it helps the waist part to look nice. I probably need to have this altered to fit on me just so I can use it.
Boho Women's Chiffon High Waist Summer Beach Long Maxi Dress Elastic Waist Skirt (Size: Medium | Color: Khaki) - I love this skirt its so stunning. It fits perfectly on me. The cloth is chiffon and is very flowy but not so thin that is why I love it more.

Hey everyone! Today I will be sharing my blue maxi dress wishlist... I was browsing online for a plus size activewear for my friend, who by the way is into yoga. When she started doing Pilates she's been obsessed shopping for plus size activewear that she can wear and keep her motivated to workout. So I help her out in finding some great workout outfits that will give her extra push to move and workout daily. :D

So found some great plus size activewear for my friend in Rosegal.com. And that’s where I also spotted some maxi dresses while browsing through... I’ve been obsessed with maxi dresses that it became my go to clothes lately. Since I don’t have the budget for a new extra modish and chic maxi dress, I’m saving this here in my blog as a wishlist post. I am hoping I could buy these babies soon before it sold out.
