My Nail Polish Remover Smells Like Watermelon!

I was shopping at this Korean store (Wedo at Fairview Terraces) since I was looking for gifts for my friends. Since I was in a Korean store, I would’t miss out what their beauty section offers.

I found this nail polish remover pads recommended by their sales staff. It’s compact and has different scents including kiwi, apple, grape, watermelon, and strawberry. Not only does it look cute, it’s cheap too. For only PhP 45 (around US$ 1),  you get 48 pads in one container. The sales lady said that you could use 2 pads for both hands.

I tried the watermelon one at home. It smells sooo good. However, I doubted that the pads would clarify my nail polish for both hands since the pads were too thin. To my surprise, I was wrong. 2 pads did the trick and all my nail polish were removed.

I love how it doesn’t make my hands dry like normal nail polish removers (acetone) does. It has the consistency of oil but it’s very light. I would definitely start using this whenever I remove my nail polish.

Since Christmas is almost here, this product is actually a good stocking stuffer for those who are really into nail stuff.

Until next time.

Love,

Steph

 

Tattoo Me, Please

I started wanting to get a tattoo back when I was 19. I was a university student and I could care less about what I do with my body at that time. My close friends had tattoos and one of them is a tattoo artist and the way he talked about getting tattoos made me want to get it so bad. It’s so convincing the way he said it would look cool showing it to your grandkids.

I was in Toronto at that time and tattoos are seen as body art and self expression. In the Philippines, it is taboo to get a tattoo since the culture values the body so much. People with tattoos then were just inmates.So, if you did have one, you are badass. Also, people think you are a selfish prick if you get a tattoo since you cannot donate blood for a few years. Well, what if I want to be a badass and a little selfish, huh?

I really wanted to get a tattoo at the bottom of my foot because it’s subtle, thus, my parentals won’t find out and kill me. But then, a few months ago, I was talking with my mom and she brought up the topic of tattoos. She was actually okay if we (my siblings and I) get it only, and only if we get it at the accredited places in Toronto (because of the blood donation thing).

Well, a henna will do for now since i’m so indecisive. The last one I got was from a trip we had at Palawan, Philippines. It was a hand henna with a mandala design that was free handed by a kid. That kid has talent. Like, he did my henna for 5 minutes tops.

As time goes, I keep on thinking what permanent tattoo to get and when to get it. And as time passes, I start to stop getting the itch of having a tattoo. There are days when I still want to get cute little tattoos on my fingers. But then, there are days when I don’t even care if I get one. We’ll just see where the waves settle.

Until next time.

Love,

Steph
