Nailed It?

What do you think about these nails?  The styling on the right makes it look like there's overgrowth of extra keratin on that girl though I do think her makeup is fab.  The ones on the right looks great though, I'd love to have my nails done that way.  

Yoga Goodness

My Yoga gear is all this quick air-cooled stuff that can easily wick the moisture off my non-slip mat. Yeah by moisture I mean all the sweat that comes off like a waterfall during a workout.

I love to relax and meditate in a comfortable tank and stretchy drawstring pants. In between days, I go for my Lycra pieces or my Lululemons. Its not just about exercising in style, but working out in comfy wear. Hey twisting like a pretzel ain't easy, but Yoga for me is soo thoroughly good for my back that I can't live without it. In fact, I look forward my my quiet yoga time each day and challenging my body further into sustaining poses as long as I could. I'm no pro and I'm not into the hardcore spiritual lifestyle either (though I'm quite jealous that some people are able to have the discipline to live the way they want). 

In terms of Yoga, I'm more like Tara Stiles and what Tara Stiles does is demystify Yoga, that Yoga is for everybody- and not just Vegans or hipsters or the Asian brothers in my neighborhood. Yoga is for the flexibility and the body's peace of mind. And I'm more attune to that, its a personal preference you might say.

Do people actually go around lugging this thing beyond Fashion week?

This single pearl Chanel hair accessory (aka scrunchie) is way too classy though

Family Ties, Family Lies

I hate doing things out of obligation, familial obligations for that matter are far out the most stressful. You don't want to piss anyone off because family is forever! Which means everyday of your life since birth, these people whom you love, adore, hate will always be present and have something to say about how you handle things in your life.

I have no qualms about my immediate family, me and my sisters are very close. I just don't get along with cousins, I dislike them very much and I don't mind letting the world know (even on this blog) that this is how I feel about them. Sorry, but some relatives are just unbelievably annoying.

I am content with the relationship I have with my darling relatives (they lilive in another city, really far away from our home), we only get to see them on holiday. We're quite civil, but not cloe and I would like to leave it at that. Just because they are my relatives, it doesn't mean their unsolicited advice are often sound. I am old enough to know what I can and cannot do. And I can make up my own mind, thank you! Even if it pisses you off!

Hair Watch: Going Grey is Just Cray Cray!

There are some fashion hair trends I pray won't take off, Oh God NO!!! And this is one of them!
I've been spotting a lot of the grey haired pixies on the subways... teens wanna be middle-aged moms too soon? Or is Comicon happening everyday now? Its not a flattering look. Avant-garde maybe, sure, but not everyone can be Gaga.

This look will only work if you're really greying out or if you have a really youthful, angelic face. Otherwise, you'd look too mature for your age, its like adding ten years in an instant. Not cool. And not every girl I know, even the pretty ones, can pull off the shocking silver hairdo.

Strictly Perfect Curls

I'm having a good hairday, I feel so fab! My locks are golden. Smells heavenly too!

Used Kerastase Oleo Curl Intense and some Oleo spritz then dried with a diffuser:

I'm a fan of Kerastase Oleo Curl products, I'm all for volume!  After a bath, I put on an ample amount and massage my roots to ends. Then my handy thermal diffuser, I let my hands scrunch the curls a bit and voila! Here goes my Taylor-Swifty curls!
