Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

I miss my hair

Image
I've always wanted to dye my hair red. And I just found out my sister has also been wanting to dye her hair red. Since I've never dyed my hair I was a bit skeptical about doing this. Well, it was fun thinking and talking about dyeing my hair but I've never really actually think I'll do it. My sister was really excited though, so as not to damper her spirit, I decided to go with it. My sister and I are both lancers, and the minute we got the payment from a project that we both worked on, we decided we'll allot some to be our 'dye' money. I wanted to buy this dye called ' Manic Panic ', but the price for the semi temporary dye was over $20 (price from a local seller) and since we would both be coloring our hair, it would be too expensive. We just settled going to our local HBC store for cheap dye. We were looking at the color swatches in HBC , when we saw this color, ' Flame '. It was really vibrant and sort of like Manic Panic's ...

Sabrina The Teenage Witch

If you're looking for a light, clean and funny TV series to watch, why not try 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch'? I remember always looking forward to watching it on the telly when I was a kid. The story is about a teenager (Sabrina Spellman), who discovered on her 16th birthday that she's a half witch/half mortal and she has magical powers. She lives with her aunts, Hilda and Zelda Spellman, along with their talking cat, Salem (who was a warlock who tried to take over the world, but failed - he was sentenced to be a cat for 100 years). For me, the first three seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch were the best. It doesn't mean that I didn't enjoyed the other seasons. It's just that Harvey was gone for a couple of seasons (his character is funny, plus Harvey and Sabrina looks so cute together), the Aunts were gone in the last season, plus, some really annoying characters showed up. But what the heck, Salem alone makes the whole series worth watching :] ...

Mcdonald's and Jollibee Online Delivery Service

Image
I've been using Mcdonald's online delivery service quite frequently for the past month. I was working till the wee hours of morning lately, and Mcdonald's is the only fast food chain that offers 24 hour delivery in our area (Malabon). Most of the time, the delivery service was smooth and was on time. Last September 2 (pushing September 3), I wasn't in the mood for Mcdonald's but my stomach is grumbling and there was no food in our house. After placing an order online, we waited for more than 30 minutes for the confirmation call, before my sister started egging me to call the hotline. I waited for a while before I got to speak with a call center agent. I wasn't offered any explanation why they didn't call me for confirmation. After giving me a recap of my order and the total amount, I was told to wait for 30-45 for my order. I went to my room to take a 15 minute nap when I was woken by a call from a staff of the Mcdonald's branch that processes my ...
