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...

Althea represents the beauty of Korea and delivers authentic K-beauty items to the world, just like how Althea gives off the fragrance of perfume.

What I like about Althea:

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.
