Welcoming an angel: Savannah

I came back as soon as I stated. I'm still recovering from my caesarean section so, I need so much sleep. My daughter sleeps most of the time and it gives me a huge opportunity to take that time to sleep, as well. I actually had time to blog but, not only was I always sleeping, I was also just adoring her. I can't stop. She's made me the happiest since.

I'm still quite swollen, slowly melting down. I probably won't do anything beauty/fashion related until I start seeing myself thin out. The swelling got worse after all the IV packs used. I really do despise the hospital. As for my incision, I'm getting a lot better. It's only been a few days but, I'm feeling bliss, again.

I'll update more. For now, must get back to my children!

What have I been up to?

I haven't blogged for a couple of days. Well, except my personal ranting but, I know how most of you love photos, rather. The past three days, I cleaned out my cluttered vanity! I needed to organize it and throw away some unwanted things, makeup, etc. I don't want to become a hoarder. Just because it's something cute, I don't need it in my life. Either throw it away or, give it away!

I found my candy jar just sitting in one of the kitchen cabinets. I wanted to put my brushes away but, in a cup or vase of some sort. All I could find was my unused candy jar, for now. I'm going to get a new one just for my makeup brushes! I had a lot more brushes but, I gave them away. Poop. Anyway, I filled the jar up half-way with leftover pebbles and shells I bought for a past decor project. It's really cute! I love it way more than the usual crystal stones or marbles.

Also, I've been enjoying as much junk food as I possibly can! My pregnancy is coming to a close and it's my only chance to bring out my inner-fat-kid. My husband is a health/fit freak. I have to follow, as well. I don't mind, either. I love having a small figure! This is why I also hate being pregnant. I feel enormous and, it's not what I'm used to. I've always been small. I'm definitely going to get back to it. Almost made it through after my first pregnancy until I found out I was pregnant, yet again!

This morning, I had another appointment to get through. Nothing much, just a few papers I had to sign for my surgery. Did all that and got to the eye clinic to pick up my new glasses! It's pretty simple. There weren't any good ones in stock so, this is only temporary- the frame. I'm just glad I can see, again! 

I'm going to hit the sheets early, tonight. I've got to wake up at at least 3am. Yes, tomorrow it the big day for my daughter's arrival!!! I'm doing laundry so, once that's done, I have to pack some things, get everything settled, take a hot shower, head to the hospital, and get my stuff ready prepared for surgery. Wish me luck!

Requested: Favorite iPhone Case

This isn't what I currently use but, it definitely is a top fave case of mine! I got it at a local shop for $16 usd, I believe. I had it for awhile so, I've forgotten it's price.

Eye candy's Lens package!

The last two images was a gift I got with using the code MOCHAKARI from Karimew.com's site. I won't be reviewing the actual lenses, yet. I'm just glad to finally receive this. With all the stress going on, I needed a little something to cheer me up. Just looking at them makes me happy! Enjoy the images! Order lenses at Eyecandys.com!

Pregnancy Update

Finally, I have only about two weeks and a half before my daughter, Savannah arrives! I'm relived. I'm glad I'm not as big as when I was pregnant with my son. I was much bigger than the photo above, everything was twice my body size! This time, I kept a good diet up and I was mostly active.

Losing the baby weight should be easier! I can't wait to start on fitness but, most importantly, to see and hold my little girl! I hope her big brother won't see her as a burden and to think we love her more than him. I love my children equally, unconditionally. He's still too young to know it.

I'll update, again once my daughter is born.

Light shopping on a rainy Tuesday

My son and I woke up pretty late, today. No breakfast for us. We started our day with lunch! I had the sashimi and sushi while he had the Carbonara. 

The mother and I dropped by an office supply store and got a few decos for my bare vase. It's all pretty and beachy-themed, now! The fake flowers are pink and red Hibiscus. Ordered them from Japan.

Main reason why I did some shopping. To fill up my husband's care package! The last photo is of what I already had bought a few weeks ago. New purchases are at the top. He sure loves chocolate. For U.S readers, these are all oriental snacks. Our island is filled with mostly Asian products.

Latest Instas

1. Dinner- Salad dressed with Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette and topped with classic Feta cheese and diced chicken breast, Peppermint Mocha iced coffee topped with whipped cream and cinnamon.

2. Purchases- Bought a few things for the apartment. A bathroom shelf, magazine rack, 16 pcs. square dinner set, etc. that's not shown above.

3. Red Boots- I shopped for more of my daughter's things for when she arrives. I've been hooked and decided to get a little something for my son. I also bought it because it reminded me of the boots Ted Mosby wore in one of the episodes from How I Met Your Mother!

4. Lunch- This is when my mother took us out to lunch after my pregnancy check-up. I took a photo of one of my favorite dishes- sashimi! And please, before you say anything about the raw fish, I'm Japanese. I enjoy this. I'm 100% sure pregnant women in Japan also enjoy a plate of this every once in a while. I had so many of it my first pregnancy and my son is completely healthy! The fish was cleaned well.

Just more purchases

I didn't purchase my new comforter or rug. Yet again, my mother got them for me. She's been spoiling me since I was born. Frankly, I don't ask her for anything. She just either surprises me or offers things. Even though I can pay for my own things, she doesn't mind getting them for me with her own hard-earned cash. I feel awful but, she insists! One day, I'll give her back after everything she's done and went through. I'm grateful for having amazing people in my life, such as my parents and my husband. They're my greatest supporters! My children, too, of course!

I really love my new comforter and rug. The rug looks B&W but it's actually a nice mocha color. My PS action must've made it look B&W. Haha, a brown zebra. Kinda cool if there were actual zebras like that. Anyway, it made my room a lot nicer. More of a teens room than an adult but, it's fine by me. I'm still a teen at heart! Just a really mature one... After having all this, I want to change my curtains. They're brown with gold stripes. I just want a plain white or creme with a sheer interior. Real soon, though.

I've been going to the Troop store a whole lot, lately. Mostly to get some things for my mom. I needed to get a new shampoo so, decided to try out Garnier Fructis' Daily Care for normal hair. I've been using Aussie's Volumizing shampoo. I still have half a bottle but, I can't always be treating my hair with the same shampoo. I got more of the chocolates from Russell Stover but in other two flavors. They were only a dollar each so, why not? I loved the coconut one so, I decided to just grab other flavors because, these chocolates are just too good for it's affordable price! Peppermint is my fave. I tried so hard not to finish them.

Well, that's pretty much it for my Friday. Till next post, adios!

A long day

My mom took us for lunch after my weekly pregnancy check-up. It was nice but, I really wasn't a fan of the food. Maybe next time, I'll choose the restaurant.

After lunch, I had to pay my husband's monthly bill at the Troop Store. Did that, then shopped a bit for my daughter. I bought so much more things that I didn't get to take a photo of with my camera instead, with my phone but, I uploaded them to my personal IG. I'll post a 'Latest Instas' on my next post. I'm really tired. Trying to blog as quickly as I can so I can get some rest.

Wordless Wednesdays

A day out of the apartment!

Went shopping around for my daughter's things. My son found a rocking horse but, he was sort of afraid of it. I saw a few Flyer bikes and I really want to get one for him. Anyway, I'm still looking to buy more cute dresses! I loved the one I picked out. I love the color, as well but, it would've been cuter in pink. Unfortunately, they've run out of it. I also bought a spinning drying rack, two towels, a large zebra print blanket and a small cupcake blanket for on-the-go trips. Most importantly, a baby bath tub! Well, I still have more to shop for such as diapers and wipes, bottles, a breast pump, etc. My mom got her friend to get a few more things off-island. I'm getting those hopefully by tonight. I need to see what she got so I won't need to buy any extras. I don't even need that much newborn stuff. Babies don't stay newborns forever!

I treated myself to a few things, as well! I needed a new body sponge... it's from Eco Tools. Can't wait to lather up with it! I'm so in love with Lipton's instant ice teas! The mango flavor was too good, I needed to try another flavor! I got the wild raspberry. I mixed myself a cup but, I'm freezing it up a bit for a home-made slushy. I hope it's good! I also got some snacks because, we're heading to the beach! My parents got my son a life jacket and goggles. They're excited to let him try them out. 

I purchased a new journal for blogging ideas. I noticed I always come up with something good but, end up forgetting. Getting a journal was just what I needed! And it's theme is Japanese, just like me! Haha. Picked up some magazines, as well. I haven't bought any for a long while, now! Time to see what I've been missing out on! I feel like I've been living under a rock!
