Time to own one

Hubby has been wanting to buy a camcorder ever since I can remember. But I always stop him.

I really didn't see any point in buying a camcorder before. For one, we had a digital camera that also records video. And the quality was fair.

But now, I think I am going to change my mind and even convince hubby to buy a camcorder. LOL!

Hubby is using an SLR camera which doesn't have a camcorder feature. My digi point and shoot camera has a video capabilities but it's not working well now after my son dropped it.

So I guess it's time we have our very own camcorder and I choose this one:

A canon vixia hf200.

It looks very spiffy and the reviews I read are quite good (I always read reviews!). And the price is reasonable.

What about you guys? Do you have a camcorder? What kind do you have?

Appreciation

"Despite your busy sched at work, you still find time to help me at home. I really appreciate it. Hope you know that.

I just sent that text message to hubby a few minutes ago.

Really, it's been crazy at home lately. The chores never seem to end and I get tired. I am just but human. Sometimes I get so cranky and I forget to express my appreciation to people who are deserving.

My husband has really been helpful especially this last couple of weeks. So I am thinking, I should get him something. It's not his birthday yet but I just want to show him I really appreciate what he does for me and for our family.

I am looking at this sweetest day gifts for him and I am having a hard time choosing. LOL!

I am looking for something simple, sweet, not expensive and also something hubby would appreciate.

Maybe a Dad Clock?



Or an iPad cover?

Life is short. We should never forget to show our love and appreciation to the people who love us.

Bag Lust: Fendi Colorblock Bags

I was browsing at Neiman Marcus when I saw these bags. Wow! Colorblocking is not just in clothes anymore.

Look at these beauties I found. All Fendi. I love it.

Fendi Colorblock Chameleon Satchel $2340

Fendi Silvana 2Bag Colorblock Tote $2130

Fendi Borsa Colorblock Crossbody Bag $1680

There are probably more designers with colorblock bags. I will have to check now. Maybe I'd find something within my budget. Something cheap. LOL!

Mud for your face

Have you heard of mud soap? I have heard of mud pack but not soap. But what can you expect from someone who doesn't really care about beauty regimen and stuff.

Anyway, I found out about this soap a few weeks ago when my friend introduced me to it.

It's a dead sea mud soap and it can do wonders for your skin, especially the acne prone skin.

I was acne-prone before. It was stressful. But with proper care and the right stuff, you can easily have a smooth and clear face.

I don't have breakouts anymore but I think this is worth a try after my friend's face transformation. She's glowing and her skin looks really healthy.

Outfit Dilemna

Planning a winter wardrobe can really be a headache. Literally. LOL! Of course, there's the weather to take part in the blame but I think it's mostly from planning an outfit I have no experience of.

It's exactly one month from today that we are going to Europe. They say that November in Paris is already winter-like cold so my friend advised me to bring on the full gear - coat, boots, gloves and scarf.

I have all of it already, thanks to a recent shopping trip in Bangkok but I don't know how to wear it. LOL!

There's also the accessory I have to think about. Should I bring my steel bracelets, chunky bangles, chandelier earrings, etc?

Believe it or not, I have been researching on what to wear in Paris on November. And surprisingly, there are a lot of women out there like me who's asking the same thing. Hahaha! I think we're all scared we'd be caught by the fashion police in Paris. Isn't Paris the fashion capital of the world? Or at least one of the fashion capital of the world.

Now, let me go back to my research and report here what I find.
