OH YEAHHHH!!! <3333 THANK YOU to my uncle & auntie who sent these!!! :D I’m so happy!!!! I’ve never been really happy receiving books XD But design books are an exception!~

I will use these wisely :D And I’ve already browsed through them!!! SO excited to read all of these!! (kekeke my sentences really do not apply to normal books XD)

Erika’s Weather Forecast:I really do NOT find reading enjoyable XD but because these are ‘special’ books (with photos >,< and because these are design books) I’m so happy!!!

Rooftop Prince is quickly becoming my favorite Kdrama!!!! OMO Every episode has funny scenes (^.^) Makes me happy every time I watch! This is also a reason why I go home early everyday XD :)) By 5pm I MUST BE HOME OR ELSE I’LL BE SAD AND CRANKY :)) But if I do get a dvd then I’ll not be cranky anymore~~~

SO FUNNY!!!! The first episode was just hilarious and interesting that you must watch the next… then the next… then the next…!!! If you want a good laugh then definitely the series will be a perfect fit!

The concept of guys from the past getting transported to our current age is just genius! It’s funny to see them be amazed by technology, super advanced Seoul, today (that sometimes we take for granted :<)

Park Ha’s cute yet very homey rooftop home and her prince :» Lee Gak! And his minions :)) Park Ha lets them wear color coded tracksuits to distinguish one from the other :)) She calls them by color! Hey you blue man!

The Prince does not like to work so deal with it :))

His minions getting some sympathy from Park Ha so that she will give them food :))

Hahahaha XD :))) Blue man is Woo Yong-sool (The mighty swordsman; played by Jeong Seok-won), Green man is Song Man-bo (The smart person :)); played Lee Min Ho not Lee Min Ho Lee Min Ho XD), Yellow man is Do Chi-san (The chika chika dude; played by Choi Woo-sik) and of course we all know the Red man ;D YOOCHUN <333

Get it together guys! :)))

This scene was super funny too! And touching :> abububu!!!

Annyong haseyo! My day started pretty stressful XD kekeke~ I thought we were finished with our Model ~,~ So many alterations but my partner Abee and I finished on time :> Mission 1 Complete! 

Today is Ash Wednesday too!~ So my next mission was to go to Church :) by 12:30 we were at the Chapel :D Mission 2 Complete!

Mission 3 was to go and pamper ourselves for finishing the model in time :D kekeke~ Abee and I went to the nearest mall!! Cosmetic Shop Hopping!! XD We went to Tony Moly first (Ate Abee said that the 40 percent sale was extended!!! :D) 

Of course a visit to SM North would not be complete without going inside Etude House :))

OMO these new body washes smelled so awesome!!! <3 Made us hungry! The best smelling ones for me were the Strawberry, Chocolate and Milk variant!!! So sweet, and the chocolate smelled so DELICIOUS I WANTED to drink it ~,~

Also another new product is the Skin Malgeum!~ Though the only variant here in the Philippines is the Fresh Variant!

맑음 [Malgeum]: the Korean word for cleanness, clarity and pureness.

Coming up this February is a new Toner line called Skin Malgeum!! ;) These products provide clean, clear and pure complexion with its moisturizing and pore cleansing formulas! Also hypoallergenic, these toners are void of Paraben, Animal Ingredients, Benzophenone, Artificial Dyes and Mineral Oils!! :D

The FRESH Variant, which is ideal for oily skin

Was about to get the last bottle but~ I’m really searching for the Smoother variant, wonder when it’ll arrive here >,< 

Play Etude! kekeke~ Prettifying Choi Minho of Shinee! My new crush <3 he raps and dances so well! NEW FAN <3

Tonight I’ll be sharing about one of the tea places in the Philippines :) It’s Serenitea!! :D My sister treated me again! :)) (Good Job! Uh nee roles are to make younger siblings happy! kekeke)

I really love the ambiance and the overall design of the shop along Katipunan! Love the ‘chinese~like’ lanterns and the striped wall and the wavy counter design too!

Uh~nee’s sophisticated law bag :)))) full of money to treat me XD

Cute buzzer!!! This one vibrates when your order is ready! buzzzzz!!! :>

I did not know what to get so I relied on the TOP favorites from Serenitea’s List and no.1 was Hokkaido so I got it and my sister’s is Okinawa :)

OMO was I wrong to follow the likes of others! @.@ Every sip made me dizzy @.@

Annyong haseyo! Today’s review is from Etude House’s Wannabe Collection :) I got this as a gift included in Etude’s Press Kit last December :D KAMSA HAMNIDA!!! It’s the Wannabe Style Nails no.2 So Cute Love! :> 

So what is the Wannabe Collection? :) Love, Play and Pop~ three moods for an Etude Girl! :) with special art designs to capture the spirit of an Etude Girl. This Nail Kit is under POP!

LOVE: Fragrant and sparkling lovely and feminine Etude Girl

PLAY: Free to mix and match colors, fun and creative Etude Girl 

POP: Stands out in the crowd, stylish and chic Etude Girl

Stylish Etude Girl from Head to Toe! Stylish nail kit supplies color combo and stickers for Wannabe expression!

ALL the items in this collection are LIMITED EDITION~ so better get one before it runs out~

Obviously Etude House’s packaging in this collection leveled-up! All thanks to Annika Wester~

There are 2 Nail Kits! This one and the no.1 So Hot Chic (Chic Black and Hot Pink)

So Cute Love nail kit has the cutest color (kekeke cute cute), if you want stylish nails but still want to pull off a very cute vibe then get this set! :D But if you want more vibrant and sassy nails then get no.1  :D

I’d say the grey in this set is totally unique! The pink polish is kinda common, I have a petit darling polish (also from Etude) that is almost the same color as this one~ ~,~

The set also includes unique nail stickers! All drawn and designed by Ms. Annika!

P.S. The stickers are 3D/not flat :D

Nail Color duo for mix and match expression!

{Product Lineup}

1. Cute Gray
2. Milky Pink
3. Nail Sticker

{Directions}

Apply nail color to nails. Alternate color for stylish expression. After removing sticker carefully with nail, stick it on the nails. Apply top coat or limpid nail polish over the sticker.

The brushes are flat! So application is much easier :) :> 

Now here is the finished nail art! :D

I love it very much!!! :D <3 Alternating it really gives out a ‘STYLISH EXPRESSION!’

Applying the grey polish was a breeze, 2 coats gives an opaque color already. On the other hand, the pink polish was so difficult to apply @.@ I guess it’s because it’s in a lighter color!

Many asked me if I drew the design myself (blush blush) kekeke~ It’s really creative and unique! I hope Etude will sell separate nail sticker sets of this! Calling those who loves Stars, Hearts, Flowers and the Eiffel Tower! :D

How chip resistant is it?…

OMO! After just a week it already chipped badly :< I thought it would last longer considering the price~ kekeke
