TTC FOR A YEAR

On Friday February 22, will be our 1st wedding anniversary. Time went so fast! Living in Dubai gave me a lot of ups and downs. As I don't work, most of the time follow my husband wherever he travels, one reason behind is we are trying to conceive. It's been a year now and still no positive result. Last December we decided to get professional opinion and it was all good. Hubby did his test and got a really good result...lots of swimmers, millions and millions! I was happy to hear that! On the other hand I did a HSG test, this is where they do ultrasound and check your fallopian tube for any blockage. My left one had some delay but was not blocked. So our ob-gyne was happy with our results. Medically we are fit! So she said it's just a matter of timing. She prescribed me clomid monitoring for 3 months and this month will be my 3rd cycle of clomid and I'm losing hope. I hope we get a good timing this month. I am just wondering why I don't get pregnant, I obviously ovulate coz other than the clomid I monitor my ovulation by OPK and I do get positive result that I ovulated. I have read that clomid is not good to take continuously that's why I think our doctor only prescribed 3months. I'm really hoping this month will be a positive result. I know I get my husband feeling frustrated as well when I get my period and get crappy the whole week I have my period. I need to try to not focus too much on it, coz my husband thinks I'm obsessed by this....and I'm a little bit, I admit. Well, you can't really blame me, I stop working to try to make a family and I am not young, my time is ticking, I'm 34 and will be 35 in Sept. I'm praying that this month will be positive. If you're reading this and you're also TTC, baby dust to you all!

SEARCH FOR MAKE UP BRUSHES

Since I started my formal lesson on Make Up, I have been searching for the best make up brushes... Because I don't like to spend too much when I was just starting, my friend Coco recommended me to check on Sigma brushes. So of course, like all of you guys, I checked you tube for reviews before purchasing them. I saw some good reviews and yeah, I bought my first set of Sigma brushes. I love them! I'm in love with them! They are always being compared to MAC brushes, which I never owned but I shop a lot at MAC for cosmetics (lipstick, blushes and powder) so I checked their brushes and hell yeah, it's as soft as my Sigma brushes. I will still continue buying Sigma brushes, especially now that I'm taking this seriously, I am again in search for new brushes... I'll get back to you when I find one...for the meantime I have yet to recommend Sigma for all the beginners!!! Until then... Enjoy making beautiful faces!!!

I FINALLY DID MY MAKE UP COURSE!!!

Well yeah, it's 2013 and this is just my 2nd entry on this blog which I started of in April 2012...that's quite a long time.

Anyways, I decided to start this all over again and start sharing with you my daily life.

Today, I'm going to share with you that I finally enrolled last December for a MakeUp Class ( I was talking about it on my intro blog), It's a Certificate course which is a 56hours block of Basic MakeUp on Media, Fashion and Bridal. I enrolled at MakeUp Designory Manila ( Accredited by MakeUp Designory New York and L.A. known as the Harvard of MakeUp School).

My instructor was Ms. Georginna, she was adorable and of course including my 3 classmates. I was glad in a way that we were only 4 in the class (more space hahaha!) so we get more hands on by our instructor. The class was MWF class from 10-6pm...it's really tiring, but I had a lot fun attending it! We get to practice on each other or bring a model with us. There was this time that our instructor gave us an assignment to do high fashion look, however, I didn't have a model as all my friends are working but guess what my husband was in town and I did him a high fashion look! (I wouldn't dare post that before and after photos of him or soon I might get a notice letter of divorce!) I guess the best was when we had our photo shoot. We had to do one high fashion face and one bridal (I did an extra coz my model is friends with the Studio owner)! I'm going to share with you below what I did for the photoshoot. Enjoy!

INTRODUCTION

Hi guys, today I decided to start this blog. I want to share my daily routine here in Dubai as a housewife and couple of things that interest me. I was a flight attendant for 9 years and decided to quit to start a family life.

I love make up (maybe because of my previous job). I have tons of it, however, my husband don't like me putting it on, I recall him saying "you're again putting paint"... which is true coz I love art! Well, anyways, I still buy them and adore having them even if I don't use them as much as I should. I have yet to look for a make up school so I can learn more and maybe use it as a part time job coz I love making other people look good!!! Although I have learn a lot from Youtube by watching great tutorials!!! (gotta love technology!)

I keep myself busy with baking, I don't really have a sweet tooth, however my husband does. And so, I bake for him and for our friends. I can't really say that I bake good but when my husband and friends say that they are good, I'm happy with that.

Handicrafts!!! I love doing them... I did a lot of DIY stuff for my destination wedding. We got married in the beautiful island of Boracay, Philippines.

Travel...I can't live without it. I am just glad that I married a man who loves to travel and so he does understand when I just suddenly think of going somewhere out of the blue.

I am a health buff, I keep my shape by regular yoga, biking, running and swimming. I try to eat healthy as much as possible. I juice a lot. These will not only give you a good shape but lots of energy and a healthy body and skin!

These are all the things that I am going to share with you with this blog. I also hope to learn from you guys with you comments and posts.

Talk to you soon!!!!
