Weekends Are Love Photos

Here is a quick run down of my activities last weekend, (and I am blogging about this when it is already Tuesday!)

I had a quick lunch with my Mommy and my Sis at Don Vicente Restaurante Latino in Tetuan.  It is my second time to have lunch here and I am glad to inform you all that they are preparing for a very special and intimate Valentine affair with beloved customers. In the meantime, I am happy that my Mom is able to experience lunch in one of my favorite restos in the city and the food, to add, is excellent as always.

I just adore how the tinted glass window made a contrast in this indoor shot. 

Don Vicente now features an authentic silver set in one of its decors. I wonder how old it is. 

Mommy takes a look at the menu. Our driver for the day was Nong Berto. 

This is my Sis looking so small against the painting. 

I had Putanesca for lunch. 

 

This is Mommy's carbonara. She left no morsel unharmed. 

Nong Berto and Sis had the same order and from the looks of it, it definitely tastes yummy!

This frozen Manga Crema hits the spot after a full meal. 

As for Sunday, I baked butter cake because Lola Portia was visiting the house and by the end of Sunday afternoon, there was no more cake left. Maybe next time I could ask my brother to take more photos of me baking. 

Would you care to comment on what you did last weekend? Leave a comment below and I shall return the love! 

Emerald Nails for the Weekend from Bobbie

I have to admit that I am becoming obsessed with the color of green lately. You can see this by the haul I did earlier last month and the review I did last post for the eye shadow I received from Sample Room. Here is a mint green top I wore with Gording and it is now also my profile photo in Facebook haha. 

He isn't my dog but I still got to have a photo opp with him last week. 

So while the weekend allows for some rest and relaxation, I went ahead and experimented with green nails which could last at least a week since I am not expecting any formal events to pop up soon. 

I still need some practice in applying nail color. I am surprised though that I already switched to many different colors in just one month. In the meantime, here are the polishes I used for this week's Emerald Nails.

Venus and Mars Mineral Eye Shadow in Halo

As early as now, I am thanking you for your patience with this review. It is my first time to try a different shade of eye shadow and to do a beauty review for eye shadow. Sample Room sent me the Venus and Mars Mineral Eye Shadow in Halo.

 I tried it on and I can say that I am quite happy with how it turned out. It is a rich shade in aquamarine with little glitters in a small pot. Even for a sample, it contains a generous amount of sheer color in a small pot. This eye shadow is paraben-free, which makes it safe for everyday use.

Pros

One thing I like about this eye shadow color is its wearability. It is cool and pleasant to look at, and it could be the go-to color throughout the spring and summer. Not to mention, if you are really into mint green and have a love for mint green and aquamarine accessories, you will be reaching for this color any time. Women of any age can wear this, and this is also great for both indoor and outdoor affairs.

It is also long-lasting. I put this on in the morning and it is still there even as my working day was coming to a close even without primer. 

It did not give me any eye problems, considering that most of my lower lid was covered with it. It is so light and sheer that I forgot I had it on.

Cons

There is only one small problem with this eye shadow. The packaging seems to be overlooked. I like the color, and the eye shadow is in loose powder form, I hate to see the beautiful color go to waste because the jar has no stopper or regulator whatsoever. Other than that, it is a product that is safe to use and it stays on very well.

Evening in Sta. Maria

I just headed to the Sta. Maria school grounds to have some bonding time with people from work. While others were having cold beer, I sat down devouring barbecue, isaw and Coke. I picked up a souvenir to remember the night and I had to rush home early before the rain really poured... 

In the meantime, here are some photos I was able to gather. I also had to leave early because it is a weekday... 

I tried to make a dreamy effect with this shot. Seems like I failed. 

I had loads of barbecue (no rice, I swear!)

Leleng was serving barbecue for everybody. Am I supposed to count how many sticks I finished? Because I honestly forgot...

  

Now you see me... 

Now you don't...

My emptied bottle of Coke. I couldn't hit on the beer. 

So what do you say to that? 

Strawberry Crepe loaded in jam and choco syrup. And just that. I was disappointed in this. Really disappointed. 

 Keychain galore! 

Bracelets ripe for the picking for only Php 20! 

Manong adds the designs to the bracelets I have picked.

Wire art produced bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings!
