(Window) Shopping Day

Monday was the 2nd day of Eid.

I'll be reporting back to work on Saturday still! Yay!

My friends and I had decided to go window shopping, of course all girls (except for my friend's kid).

You know what they say about shopping with boys so we had decided to go in an all girl group.

If shopping is a sport, I would have a better chance of being a Gold medalist (hahaha).

We had gone to Landmark at around half past 1 pm.

Thanks God it was not crowded.

I already planned on the things that I want to buy which excludes shoes as Hamude might cut off my feet (a girl can't have enough shoes).

I was walking in yellow peeptoes. 
Gold detailed buttons
This is the last piece wheeewww... 
Pink Macaroon Lip Balm from H&M 
Bold Colors from H&M

After almost 3 hours of walking around, we grabbed some snacks from Friday's.

It was such a fun girl bonding day. 

What about you, how did you spend you Eid?

Amazing Emma

Awww, I've not seen the Amazing Spiderman yet.

I am planning to catch it during my "very" long weekend.

Since Eid will be tomorrow, I had reported for work earlier and will be back to work next week. Yay!

It's quite a long vacation and my first time ever since four years.

My colleague and I used to get the Eid Offs during the latter part of the year since we are working in the "operations".

But since we were moved to another project, we can avail it too!

I've been meaning to watch this movie since it was released but with Villaggio Mall still closed and the other malls crowded, I had opted to watch it later than planned.

I've always loved Emma Stone when I had seen her in "The House Bunny" and "Easy A".

I find her quirky.

She is also one of those Hollywood stars who always look "nice" and fab.

These are some of her photos (thanks to Google Images) that I adore:

I love how the Red Lipstick worked for her. 

Side-swept bangs and her hair colour look great too. 

Emma's take on peach. 

She bangs! 

Hair Talk

Are you also in search of easy to do hair styles?

I found a new site, Bangstyle, that offers a lot of new do's to try on.

Here are some of the ones I think is suitable for day wear or even at work.

These are illustrated by Colette Malouf (you can check this link for more hair talks!).











So, which one will you wearing for today?

Eid Readings

Yay!

Eid is coming and this is the first time that I won't be working and will be on holidays too!

Aside from the scheduled "Shopping Day" with the girls on the 20th, I don't have any other plans.

I won't be able to swim since it's my "time of the month" and anyways, it's too humid outside.

I grabbed some books and am hoping to finished all of these.



What's on your reading list?

What's your Nail Color?

Yay!

I've been meaning to get myself new nail polish colors but since it's Ramadan, I have work in the morning and the streets are busy at night.

It was last week when my friends and I had gone out together for coffee and I had got a chance to go to the mall.

So, here's my new nail color: Green it is!

Green Toenails
It's from NYX and they've lots of colors.

I got a red one in Matte too.

Below are some of the fab colors that they have.

Mine is green, what's yours? 
So, with all of these shades, which one do you like the most?

For me, I love them all!

Vanilla Sugar Scrub

I had discovered a new DIY website, TipJunkie. 

I was looking for a good scrub formula and I've got tons of ideas from this site. 

Since it's already September next month, it's just in time as these are also great as Christmas giveaways. 

This one's simple and here are what you need. 

1 Cup White Sugar 
2 Cups of Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Vanilla 
1 Tbsp Olive Oil (you may use sesame oil or any alternative)
Storage Jar
Be crafty with your label.

Just mix all of the ingredients and make sure that there are no lumps! 

Here's what it should look like: 

It smells yummy too! 
Sweet and did I say yummy? 
Enjoy scrubbing! 

XoXo, 

Joana
