Posted in Fashion, Handbag Picks | 0 comments

I’m feeling really frustrated with my internet connection right now. Its slow and intermittent so I can’t blog as much as I used to.  I have problems uploading photos of stuff I wanna feature so posting has become a chore. Sigh. Well, I don’t have much choice. But still, I strive to post on the site at least a few times a month. Hmmm, I may not be able to blurb and blah about african mango and other things of interest, but I guess I won’t pass the chance to pick a handbag to feature..

I missed a few weeks of my handbag picks! I was browsing a lot of sites selling handbags and this one caught my eye. I think this would be perfect for casual day outs.. Cole Haan Highline Casey Hobo. It’s available at Neiman Marcus at a discounted price of $190.80. Love the casual yet elegant look.

Flats. They never fail me. They are comfy, they are cute. I could walk for miles on them. If I can’t make a choice, I always go for comfort = flats. And nowadays, flats comes in different forms, colors and sizes, and styles so you’ll almost always end up with a really pretty one.

Like this City of Love Ballerina Flats from anthropologie.com. I heart ‘em and its my shoe pick for this week!

Just My Two Cents About Smoking..

Posted in Girl Talk | 0 comments

I don’t smoke. But I’m not so ignorant about it. I did try to smoke when I was in my early 20’s, impressionable and holding a very pressure-filled job. Smoking didn’t do anything for me,  I found no pleasure from it, nor did it relieve me of stress. I have simply done it because of peer pressure.

But after a few months I realized that the habit was not doing anything for me. Everything about it is negative, so I made the decision to stop. I never found it hard to stop since the habit has not really been deeply ingrained on me yet. I simply think of the negatives and it was that easy to stop.

I’m not about to be hypocritical and start lecturing those who still have the habit of smoking. It’s their choice and everyone have different reasons for making that choice. But I do care about the negative effects of smoking to people. Just like my sister who is a chronic smoker, I’ve been trying to coax her into giving it up to no avail. To make things worse, she also has asthma and I’m scared for her health’s sake. But I refuse to give up, and hopefully someday before its too late she realizes the ill effects of smoking.

There are enormous health consequence with smoking. Not just on the person smoking but for others who inhale second hand smoke. Specially with kids, friends and relatives who smokes knows me well enough not to smoke anywhere near my daughter coz for sure I’ll be hitting the ceiling.
