Wyld

my new favorite dessert is the sticky toffee pudding at a houston restaurant called feast.

its a traditional english dessert served with some clotted cream - rich and heavenly.

i rarely drink beer but when i have to i choose hoegaarden which is a german white beer.

i also like cider which is made of fermented fruit juice. i particularly like ace pear cider, ace honey cider and strongbow cider.

"so if you care to find me,

look to the western sky!

as someone told me lately:

'everyone deserves the chance to fly!' "

-from Wicked, the Musical

i got a lot of the usual junk i get (read: make up).

my most noteable purchase though is a tokidoki bag.

Benefit's Dr. Feelgood - a velvety complexion balm for quick touch ups - makes me look like im wearing foundation even when im not, takes out the oilies.

Bath and Body Works Cotton Blossom - my favorite B&BW scent ever. bummed that its been discontinued.

Orajel - for when I get my toenails done and it hurts or when i get a papercut or what-not.

nordstrom's .....

....and for ebay make sure to use paypal so you can have a recourse in case the seller is a bastard .. never use wire transfers

of course -- how can i forget the most important rule of all. use paypal ALL THE TIME.

paypall guarantees and protects your purchases so in case you receive the item or receive the wrong one or a counterfeit one, you can get your money back.

there are some other online stores / sellers that take paypal too.

Im a big online shopping fan because I just hate going to the malls -- too crowded.

What ive learned from doing online shopping is to shop from reputable sellers. I prefer to shop directly from the brand's website instead of resellers. That way im assured that the item/s I purchase are authentic and not knock offs.

I also try and browse the sites I frequently shop at to check on specials/sales or other offers (like gift with purchase or free shipping). That ends up as money saved.

If you must shop in Ebay - make sure you read the seller's feedback pages to be sure that the seller is above board. Still a risk though because you never can tell with these Ebay sellers.

If you live in the Philippines or outside of the US - check if the site youre shopping at ships to your location, and if they do, check how much shipping will cost.

If you can find one, use a proxy service that will purchase the item for you and then ship it out to you for a fee. That might be more cost effective.

Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector + Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion = Freebies (cosmetic kit with various goodies inside)

Cosmetic Brushes from elf, Eco Tools and Posh

Various eye and face stuff from various brands.

Fascinating book! :thumbsupsmiley:
