The Cost of Living

Image
What is the first thing that comes to mind…money…right?   Well, that is part of the “Cost of Living”.   I see this phrase in a whole new way as in the choices I make with my life.   What I choose to think, feel, how I act, respond, do or not do all determines my “Cost of Living”.   Happiness comes at a price and so does stress and struggle.   I know that when I feel at my best and happy about how things are going, the cost for me is a great day, feel on top of the world, confident, and just all together fabulous…right?   Just as allowing some injustice that has been thrown my direction to take over my whole persona, well the cost would be stress, anxiety, and just an overwhelming YUCK feeling in my life bank.   Sometimes, it is difficult to always pay the right cost all the time in life to receive the right result.   Look at how the “Cost of Living” affects health and I will speak personally here…If I choose to sit around and do nothing active, then the cost would be that my body rece

Advertorial  This post is about one of my favourite brands ever - DOLLY WINK !!!  I'm sure a lot of you recognise Dolly Wink's products even if you have never tried them before...   Their most famous product is their false eyelashes, and perhaps you remember seeing them, CUTEST packaging ever with a big ribbon on top and a kawaii girl's face with different looks on every pack? I remember when Dolly Wink was launched, their famous false lashes instantly became crazy popular, flying off the shelves in Japan. During one of my trips with Cheesie, I asked her what brand her pretty lashes are and she said Dolly Wink. At that point I've never tried Dolly Wink products before and I asked her if they are good. She replied that they are the best lashes and her favourite. Later on, when I got my hands on some Dolly Wink lashes, I could finally understand why people were so fanatic about them. In one statement... They revolutionized falsies!    Their falsies were suited for gyaru

Loving my haters

Hi hi!! Typically when I give any attention to my haters at all, my readers will always tell me... "Why are you giving THEM attention? Shouldn't you be just paying attention to people to love you, like us?" I do. I try my best to. I always try to reply nice people who @mention me on twitter and I appreciate all the love I get from so so many of you. Sometimes, just thinking about it makes me cry, and I have a big boxful of gifts and touching sincere handwritten letters from readers that I look at once in a while to just soak in all the blessings and adoration I've been bestowed upon by strangers. I am grateful to each and every one of you, I am. But here's where the but comes in. It isn't easy to ignore the haters. It is easy to THINK it is, but hell it's super difficult. I wish there is a non-condescending way of saying this, but here it is - You won't understand unless you are famous. If I had to come up with a statistic, I'd say that about 1,0

HAPPY FRIENDSGIVING!

My Daughter ~ My Friend My daughter sent me a text to let me know she was having a “Friendsgiving” tonight and the more I looked at the words on my phone, the more I thought about the meaning of the words. My mind started reeling with ideas of how I would write about this and a quick call to my girl to get her insight was in order.   Well, my daughter and her friends have been meeting every Tuesday for girls dinner night, where they take turns preparing the meals, and enjoy a special sharing of their lives…talking, laughing, comparing stories, and eating the meal prepared with their own hands…no orders in…these gals are serious about their food, their lives, and their friendship. Sounds somewhat like “Sex in the City” gone REAL and how FABULOUS is that! I think about that and am proud of the special bonds that my daughter has with these very special ladies…I have had the privilege to meet a few of them.   They celebrate their year anniversary of “Girls Dinner” night for Friendsgivin
