are the ones that will serve me well and need the most.
I hate sports shoes; I think they are ugly and if I could work out in wedge heels and not injure myself, I would. Unfortunately, they’re truly a necessity and the casual rubber shoes I’ve had since college weren’t cutting it anymore.
It rained so hard the other night that I still got considerably wet even with my umbrella. I really don’t mind as long as I’m headed home but if there’s one thing I hate, it’s getting my feet wet. I didn’t even have to step on any puddles— my shoes were soaked just the same! I’ve been meaning to get a pair of women’s rain boots since June or July but look, it’s almost September and I’m still wearing weather-inappropriate footwear. I guess I feel weird going into ACE Hardware (I heard I could get rubber boots there, heh) to pick out shoes.
Anyway, I was checking out rain boots on the internet and omg, there are so many cute rain boots! I don’t want anything colorful or printed, though; just plain black ones that aren’t too bulky. I feel like such an old fogey for saying that but I’m not 21 anymore! Here are some of the rubber boots I would consider, though, if I were younger:
The one with the bees is my favorite! I’m so glad they don’t ship to the Philippines or else I’d have bought it haha.
Today, I planned on finishing a draft where I tell the world about my biggest insecurity (leg scars) but it’s a Friday and all that’s going through my mind is PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!
(K, that’s not even true. I’m staying in tonight to work out (fourth day in a row, yay! I only do thirty minutes of cardio, though), watch My So-Called Life and maybe some Jersey Shore, and chat with my boyfriend.)
Since I’m not in the mood to talk about my issues, I’ll just post a bunch of photos!
This week’s purchases:
e.l.f. Plumping Lip Glaze in Mauve Berry (I don’t know why I still bother with e.l.f. products but I love how it makes my lips tingly and feel minty), Nivea Angel Star lip balm, Maybelline Shine Free Blush (20% off!), and Maybelline Impact Express felt liner. I don’t know why I waited this long to get a felt tip liner; it is a godsend.
Wow, I didn’t realize that it’s been two months since I last went thrifting. I think I picked up a couple of pieces some time in July but that’s not really counted.
Plopped everything down on my bed before putting on fresh sheets. What I got!:
From left to right (I know you can’t really tell but just in case you guys are wondering what I got): sparkly tank top, button-down dress with some ruffles, oversized brown cardigan, white H&M lace leggings (got this for PHP120 lol), knitted black sweater, gray tunic, black cape-like jacket (winged sleeves, I think), light pink blazer, floral silk shorts, oversized striped cardigan.
I first heard of Human Heart Nature from Mara’s tweets some time ago but I didn’t think much of them because I still had a bunch of stuff I didn’t want to waste. If it weren’t for J’s recent blog entries about going organic and this video, I wouldn’t have made the immediate switch. I brought it up with my boyfriend (out of habit, I run my expenses by him lol) and it turns out that he uses H♥N shampoo! It’s a dollar more than US shampoos and he said it’s worth the extra cost.
I placed my order Tuesday afternoon and they wowed me with their efficiency because I got my stuff less than 24 hours later!
From left to right: Sunflower beauty oil, Tomato & Lemongrass toner, Mandarin & Mango butter conditioner, Aloe Vera, Egg White, & Guava shampoo, Aloe Vera & Guava facial cleanser. A little less than PHP600, shipping included.
