I'm back!

Hey Everyone!

Sorry it's been over 6 months since I last updated this blog and my youtube account. I was extremely busy because I just finished college last year! Yes, I am a college graduate but I do plan on going back to school sometime in the future.

Anyways, I also stopped posting/updated my youtube channel because a) I went to California with my boyfriend for 2 weeks in the summer and when I got back, everything got immediately hectic (and I was stressing out) b) my Grandpa shortly passed away after a month I got back from California so I had to go back there (he was with my aunt) and c) I had no time due to work.

But yes, I missed updating my blog and making youtube videos. I apologized for my long absence...I'll try to be more steady with things now :)

Bags, Bags, Bags

I really want this Speedy bag. It's been on my list forever! I think it's like $800 something? But yeah, I plan on buying a real speedy bag from Louis Vuitton.

As for this bag (above). Its a Balenciaga bag which costs about $1,300. Different celebrities lug this badboy around...and it's so nice looking even though its so plain?
I'm officially on the prowl to find this bag....bootleg/a look-a-like probably :)


So yes people, as of now, my two must have purses are the ones above.
Things I also want are:
a) these wedges that look like flats from Transit ($50)
b) sandal wedges from Transit ($50)
c) white distressed jeans


Yeppp...those are the other things I want, that I will be getting VERY soon.

Outfit of the Day #1

Hey Everyone,
So I've decided to start doing "Outfit of the Day" since its easy and its really interesting. As of now, I'm going to be putting them on my blog and on my youtube channel (www.youtube.com/user/iamthat6irl) . Sometimes, they will be just on my blog and displayed through pictures.

Anyways..here is what I wore on April 17th when I went shopping with my parents and when I went to work.


(the leather jacket was never mentioned on my youtube channel. I just wore it cause it was kinda chilly out)













Sweater Vest from Forever21
Gray Leggings from Winners (not Urban Behaviour as mentioned in the video)
T-shirt from Bluenotes
Black Purse from Forever21
Black Leather Jacket from H&M

Update & Quick Three Minute Hairstyles

After a long time, I actually uploaded a video on what I have been up to lately. In addtion to that, I also composed a video of quick hair tutorials (under 3 minutes) for those who are as busy as me (found on www.youtube.com/user/iamthat6irl).

Sadly, there is only 2 quick hair tutorials: 1) a messy bun and 2) a side braid (which can be messy as well). Feel free to comment, request, subscribe and do whatever :)

Anyways, I'm almost done my last year of college which is very exciting. I'm kinda sad that its done cause now, I don't know what I'm going to do with my life. Maybe work two jobs and then do youtube/this blog for a hobby...possibly.

It also makes me sad since I can no longer enjoy the commute downtown into the city...on the plus side, I save money since I spend SO SO SO much while I'm down there (Forever21 is there).

But yes, till next time...I shall update you on my current statuses in life lol.

I'm also wondering, should I do "Outfits of the Day" here or on youtube? Both? I'm thinking about doing those since they are so easy to do.

Amandopondo Bubble Bar

LUSH DESCRIPTION from lush.com:

"You could say you're sorry with a bouquet of roses or you could apologize LUSH style and send an Amandopondo. That way, the one you've wronged can contemplate forgiveness in a soft, fresh and fragrant bubble bath. Or you can pick one up for yourself to enjoy on a night in – the comforting and alluring scent of rose will fill your house and scent your skin; more sensual and more economical than treating yourself to a full bouquet of roses."



Okay, so I had the Amandopondo bubble bar for quite sometime now and a few days ago, I decided to use it. This bubble bar first caught my attention cause of the scent. The description from lush reads: "A luxorious rose bubble bath with lemon and orange oils." Anyways, I adore roses and the texture reminded me of baby powder...or some sort of pastry. In the center, I found a dried up rose which sold it for me. I purchased this bubble bar for $6.25 CAD. The price wasn't bad for the size, since the size of it was approximately the size of my palm.

Now, people can break usually up bubble bars in about 2 or more baths. It did not happen with this one. There was not enough bubbles if I just used half of it, so I ended up using all of it. Even using the whole bubble bar, it did not accumulate enough bubbles as I hoped it would. When all the pieces dissolved, the rose was not as big as I thought it was. It was the size of a fingernail. I was dissappointed since I couldn't find the dried rose throughout my bath.

Now, the smell was okay. It was pleasant and peaceful. I like the sweet smell but after awhile, it disappeared...along with the bubbles. When I got out of the shower, I smelled my skin and it left a hint of the scent on my body but it didn't last long.

Overall, I give this product a 2 out of 5. I would not repurchase it since I did not enjoy how much bubbles it gave me.

If you tried this product, let me know what you think of it.

Chained Purse

This is on my current To Buy List. It's from Aldo. I don't necessarily want this one, just anything that resembles the one from Chanel will do. These style of purses (a clutch with a really long chain so it becomes a handbag) is really classy. You can wear them at night and even during the day.
Tomorrow, after my midterms, I'm going to quickly run to the mall and try and find it at Aldo to see if I still like it. Did I mention, there are approximately 4 Aldo's near my school and 3 near my house? I'm bound to find it :)

Zara & F21

Two of my favourite stores :)
I didn't really buy anything at Forver21. I just purchased leggings for $7.80, a headband thing for $1.50 and an everyday heart necklace with small studs for $4.80. I just wanted accessories from this place. I kinda wanted to purchase a purse from them, but I'll wait and see what new things they will have since I just came back from California (they have better stuff in the states anyways).

I remember when I went to Los Angeles and ran into a Zara store. I decided to go check it out and saw that they were having a sale. I was in the market to look for a blazer, and I found one. I didn't buy it but I was eyeing it soooo bad! My mom also asked me why I didn't buy it..I honestly, don't remember why? It was only $30 US. Anyways, I went to Zara yesterday at the mall and they were having a sale :) I found 2 blazers, which I LOVE! One of them is plaid and the other is just black with sequins outlining certain areas. The plaid was $20 CAD and the black blazer was priced at $26 CAD but it was really $20 CAD. WHAT A DEAL!!? So I obviously, bought them :)

The black one is in a large...doesn't really fit the way I wanted it to.

But ah well, I'll deal with it :)

I lalalalove this one! It's so different and it will look so cute with jeans :) This one is in a medium. I found out that there is stitching exposed at the back, but you can hardly see it.

I LOVE ZARA!

It's officially one of my go to places to shop now :)
