This Christmas is indeed a very special one... it is the first Christmas of my dearest little Enrique Miguel!
Although it's a bit sad that my bunny isn't home for the holidays, I still felt blesses because I have two beautiful children by my side.
This year was full of challenges, but at the...

2014: Year of the Horse
I was born under the year of the Horse, according to Chinese Astrology. This coming 2014, it is the year of the Horse, although I know from past readings, Horses aren't that lucky when it is the year of the Horse (ironic).
And it seems it is the case for 2014... Here's my Chinese Fortune for 2014...

Radiant Orchid
Pantone's 2014 Color of the year is called "Radiant Orchid" and I must say that I am hmmmmkay with it. I'm still very partial to this year's Emerald, it being my favourite colour (not to mention birthstone and all). But still, I think the colour is kinda cool. I should think that, because right now...

Leopard Madness
Old habits die hard I guess. No matter what the trends are, I always go back to one of my favourites... anything leopard print!
This week alone, I succumbed to buying 3 leopard print items from Instagram sellers: a bag, a top, and sneakers. (Un)fortunately, the sneakers seller didn't deliver,...

Wish List for Christmas: Urban Decay's Naked 3 Palette
I've been following Urban Decay's IG for the release date of their latest Naked 3 Palette, so imagine my surprise when I just missed 2 days of checking, and the palette got released!
Now it's Sold out. Huhuhu. As if I can buy it online, non? Hahaha. Affected much.
But what pained me was that I...

5 Nights To Go!
I'm half excited, half scared, but wow, only 5 nights to go, then I see my little baby boy! I always imagine him in my arms, cuddling him, caring for him, breastfeeding him. I dreamt of him a couple of times already!
I am very excited that it feels as if I'm going to be a new Mom all over again....
My Bare Essentials A/W 2013
Found this in Nars Cosmetics' Instagram account, which best describes my beauty peg of late. Well, when I think about it, this is my beauty peg almost all year round!
With this, I got inspired and put together my "bare" essentials this season.

Bitten by the MK Bug
If in makeup, I was bitten by the Nars bug, in fashion, I'm definitely bitten by Michael Kors!
I recently purchased this lovely Croc-embossed Astrid Bag by Michael Kors bag after I got frustrated with purchasing the Hamilton snake print I previously blogged about. I'm definitely happy with the latest...

Eanna and bad guys
I was speechless one day when driver, husband, and I were talking about the recent riding in tandem shoot out near our condo. We were speaking in Tagalog, then my hubby told my daughter "anak you cannot go out na to buy burger ok? Yaya na Lang." Then daughter answered, "ok, because if the bad guys?"I didn't know she could understand our discussion earlier, but I said yes.Then she said "because...

Nesting Part II
And here comes the time of every pregnancy when a mother is so fixated in preparing for the coming of the newborn. And I love it! Hahaha.
Just a few things:
Breastfeeding - I'm dead-set (yet again) in making sure that i will exclusively breastfeed my little baby boy. I had minimal success with Eanna,...
Eanna's 6th Birthday Party
We celebrated Eanna's 6th birthday in advance today, because her birthday falls this Sunday. She invited a small group of classmates, 7 of her closest ones, and boy it was a friggin riot!
For this year, there wasn't a theme, unlike the previous years (Strawberry Shortcake, Barbie, Princesses, Fancy...

Nice, di ba?
Unfortunately, this is only available in the US. Hmph.
Nonetheless, I will look for local products that will help me create a little something similar to it. I gotta...

Investment Roller Coaster Ride
Just to tame me and get my mind off that dang Mulberry bag, I updated my investment portfolio, and *sigh*
Things are a bit dismal, really.
I've no shame in showing my stock picks, as I think these are good investments anyways. However, the stock market being the stock market, one can never really...

Linkin Park Live in Manila 2013
My brother and I went on a "fan date" and attended the much awaited return of Linkin Park live in Manila, and what can I say? It truly was the best night of my life.
Not only was I blessed to have the opportunity to watch them live, I was also blessed with the fact that by being an LPU member, I was...

Yes, It's Been This Long
Yup it's been a long time since I last posted here in my blog. Been caught up with so many things like work, pregnancy, finances, and of course, my ever charming dalagita. Been too lazy and forgot about blogging that I lost my renewal of my blog domain "mylavenderfields" which until now I regret.
Anyway, what's u is that I've finally seen a glimpse of my little one, and the baby is a boy! I'm due...

Time To Invest?
For weeks now, I've been obsessing about investing in funds, bonds, and equities. Yes, it's that time of one's life. Hahaha.
Well, investments and trading are not foreign to me. My first job was being a financial analyst in a holding firm. Along with that was being a certified stock broker. Yep, I passed that one, and had a license, which unfortunately I failed to renew.
Anyways, I'm still a little...
Missing an "S"
Well. Apparently my domain renewal was cancelled because my nominated credit card already expired. Too bad for me, I didn't check my other email so I was not aware that it was cancelled.
And so, my blog domain www.mylavenderfields.com is now kapoot. Somebody owns it already, and it's so weird because the site has no connection whatsoever with the domain name. Argh.
My new address is now www.mylavenderfield.com
Yup,...

Of Work: 2013 Version
Thank you God for reminding me time and time again that when it comes to work...
Work is what I do, not who I am.
So I guess I need to chill and just go with the flow. I can get too passionate but I need to hold my horses for a bit (ok, a lot). I need to remind myself to nourish my relationships with my long-time friends, and be very discerning on who to allow to enter my life and who to trust.
Because...

Laptop Issues
My laptop is not working at all, but I'm too lazy to bring it to the service center. I miss watching my tv shows. Miss doing my budget in excel. Miss blogging too. But again, I'll just wait for my hubby to come home and handle my laptop concerns.&nb...

Giving in to Clarisonic
After much prodding from my two BFFs, I finally gave in and purchase a Clarisonic Mia 2 to clean my face. This is what I got, and is expected to be on hand next week (yay!)
A little on the pricey side (but I had some discount hehehe) but I really do hope it will make wonders on my skin. I think for...
Nivea Creme: Alternative for La Mer?
I've been reading online that Nivea Creme, the German version, is comparable and even a good alternative to Creme de la Mer. Too bad I can't verify this because only cremes made in Thailand are sold here in the Philippines. I just got myself a medium-sized tub for my legs and feet, as they have become...
Ferretti Shoes
Where have you been all my life?
I chanced upon this brand of shoes in this shoe center inside Greenhills tiangee. Immediately I was drawn by the variety of designs that I fancied. Imagine my surprise when their smallest size is too small for me. Why was it surprising? Because more often the not, the...

Way Long Overdue Product Review: Creme de la Mer
Yes, this is indeed a way long overdue. More than a decade actually, hahaha.
I know, there are already a lot of reviews about this uber-luxury creme, Creme de la Mer, but I guess I just have to blog about it because of how pleased I am with this product.
My love affair with Creme de la Mer started...
