Happy Thanksgiving!

Currently watching Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.   Hello Kitty balloon, so kewt!! I love her!


Woke up early this morn ON MY OWN, psh.  

Went to Wallgreens for makeup sale. The ones I have is meant for my summer hue.  And of all days to shop for it! It was a ghost-town, only few people on the road & freeway.   I got a few things: the  Almay  Smart shade & balance foundation in Light/Med, the Intense I-color trio shadow for brown eyes & Revlon Colorstay for normal/dry skin in True Beige.  (I have dry, sensitive skin-- and eczema.) 

 I've used the Almay before since it's inexpensive & hypoallergenic. The foundation  is good because its easier for me to match my skintone. At first the product is white, and then blends to my tone.  It's very unique, like a golden tan hue.  Also it moisturizes where it's dry & oil control.  The shadow the trio was my first shadows I ever had.  Also took a shot @ Revlon Colorstay one coz I needed one with heavier coverage.  I have some uneven skintone, dark spots.  At first,  I was going to choose the Med Beige, and worried it'd look chalky.   True Beige was the winner! Tried it on right away, lol.  Relief, since  I usually have bad time choosing foundations.


:/edit/  


True beige was kind of off.  It seemed to light and salmon/pinky tint.  The better match for me is Natural tan!  Totally loving it coz its an exact match. Along with translucent powder, everything stays in place and lasts all day. And compliments!

Life update!   Lot has happened in past several months.  

As February, Scott & I moved from Concord. Dont worry, I'm not that far away!  We were looking something closer to my job. Commute is shorter, after 2 hrs per day to Tri-Valley before.   Took me a while to settle in,  new city streets/routes, also away from family & friends etc.  However, things are moving along now.  

Then April, my Grandpa of 92 years passed away. (He's my mom's Dad.) I was able to see him 2 days before it was his time. 

We celebrated his life on his Birthday, May 20th. We had it @ Cattlemen's steakhouse. I could not believe how long it had been since I've seen all my relatives!   My Auntie from Florida, my mom's cousins, etc.  Also some great stories of Grandpa.  It was truely a celebration. 

And I havent cut my hair since then. Heh.

My best memory of him is that he'd always have this old camera. It'd have a vertical  flash bulb.   And it would never flash!  and he'd get frustrated, lol. What makes me happy is that he wanted his own memory. I wonder where the pictures are now.

He was also an avid SF Giants fan.  Everytime we'd go to to their house, my Grandpa would be in his bedroom watching it on TV or have the on the radio.  THEN the Giants won the World Series!   It astounds me that it was exactly 6 months after he died.   I'm sure he had something to do with it :3

My FB post that day:

Also as of May 27 this year,  we have been married for a year!  Time freaking flies.  We  had dinner  at Cheesecake Factory.  Mmm red velvet.

October also commemorated 1 year after my Grandma (my Dad's mom) passing.  I'm her first grandkid.  She was a strong woman, after all having 3 boys.  She taught them all how to cook!  My best memory are all from my childhood-- taking muni to Union Square,  eating KFC Chicken Litlle sandwiches on Lombard St, SF, (Guess thats why I continue to eat alot of protein?) All wonderful things Grandmas are.  Thank for everything Grandma,  missyou & loveyou.

There you have it.  Hope you feel in touch now (:
