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...

Kiko Mizuhara recently attended her first Met Gala, which was a huge surprise because she dropped no hints about it at all. Just a few hours before it started, she posted a photo on Instagram about getting ready to attend and taking over V magazine's IG story covering the Met Gala.
A short background on the Met Gala. It's an annual charity event for Met Museum'sCostume Institute, where they get most of their funding. Around 600 people attend this event (although the number is less this year), where tickets start at $20000 for attending and reportedly may go as high up as a $250000 for a table inside. Celebrities go in for free but they are very picky about selecting the attendees. Anna Wintour, Vouge editor-in-chief and chair of this event has the final say on the guest list. Inside the ball, there is entertainment and dinner for the guests, as well as them getting the first look at the exhibition.
The theme this year, which a lot of attendees seemed to ignore was "Avant-Garde". The exhibition to be opened at Met Museum's Costume Institute this year (titled "The Art of the In-Between") is dedicated to Rei Kawakubo and the brand Comme des Garçons. While I appreciate the vision and artistry behind Rei Kawakubo's designs, it is intimidating for most people (like me) that's why I'm not surprised that most of the attendees for the Met Gala opted not to follow the theme. I personally think it was a bit of a killjoy for the celebrity attendees to skip the theme, especially since they have the means to at least try.
Kiko looks great as usual, but as you can see her look is on the safe side. She is wearing a vintage (from 2007, I don't know if that's already vintage in fashion years? haha) Martin Margiela Artisanal Ring Top. It looks cool, but not exactly avant-garde.
I think she purposely chose to wear something she personally likes rather than go with the theme. She really likes show girl type of bras/tops (I don't know what to call it lol, but she frequently posts those sparkly and flashy show girl bras/tops on her IG stories). Her shoulders are also too narrow and her upper body is smaller in comparison to her lower body, so the coat draped over her shoulders added bulk and balanced everything out.
I'll leave you all with a video of Kiko posted by Vogue on their Instagram (btw the song on the video below is BOSS'D UP by Aubrn (feat. Gorilla Zoe)
This is giving me The Sims 1 / TS1 vibes I'll be talking about my comprehensible input journey a bit but if you want to go straight to the series and Youtube channel recommendations, just scroll down. I have been learning Spanish for 2 years through Memrise and Duolingo and I feel like I've wasted time. When I am on the app, I pick up the right answers but in real life, I can't come up with basic words on my own. Losing streaks on Duolingo and reviews piling up on Memrise was also becoming stressful for me so I have been looking for a "painless" way to learn languages. That's when I came across the Youtube channel ' Dreaming Spanish '. Pablo (he started Dreaming Spanish) is highly discouraging things like looking up words in the dictionary, watching subtitles in your native language and reading in your target language (not until you reach an advanced level). I wanted to try learning another language from scratch using this approach (I ended up choosi...
Resort World by Game Insight is the newest game on Google+. Basically you create your own virtual resort, and in true social game fashion, need to ask items from your neighbors to complete/unlock buildings. While I haven't seen anything new with this game, it's quite enjoyable. It a bit reminiscent of the PC game 'Beach Life' by Deep Red Games that I used to enjoy many years ago. And I like how the game is open-ended due to not having any tasks to finish. That way I don't feel compelled to check in on the game several times a day. I have been looking for online forums with 'Resort World Add Neighbors on Google Plus' and have been out of luck, so I'm creating this post. If you're looking for Resort World neighbors in Google Plus, just leave your link in the comment section below and I'll be sure to add you. _________________________________________________ QUICK TIP FOR POSTING LINK TO GOOGLE+ PROFILE - Click on your profile.

While browsing the website of Philippine National Red Cross , I saw the a news article about Goods.ph . They were offering several pre-packaged relief goods for the victims of typhoon Yolanda, which was neat. Not only that, a portion of the proceeds from the donation packs would be given to the Philippine National Red Cross as a donation. I went ahead and browsed Goods.ph just to see what else they were selling. Truth to be told, I wasn't very impressed with their selection of goods apart from the Grocery section. Other local shopping websites usually only offer clothes, gadgets, toys and what not. I've seen some with food here and there, but a lot of the grocery items at Goods.ph are what you would usually get when you make a trip to your local supermarket (canned goods, condiments, laundry detergents among others). It's perfect for busy people with no time to do some grocery shopping. I live about 5 minutes (around 15 if you walk) away from a supermarket so I...
