What's in my bag?

For a while now, I been meaning to make an "Inside my Bag" post but, for whatever reason I just never did it, but this time I was like, I'm doing it this year! so, here I am, finally showing you guys what I usually carry with me on my everyday.

Since I'm a Teacher I used to carry 2 bags for work, one with my personal stuff and the other with my work stuff but I'm always carrying SO many things with me that I decided to cary everything I need in a bigger bag for work. So I'm constantly changing my things from one bag to an other depending on where I'm going.

Today I'll show you my everyday bag. I'm not the kind of girl who changes her bag everyday. I use the same one for about 6 months or something. I don't really match my bag with my clothes unless I really need to for a certain ocation.  I'm also not really into designer anymore.

The bag I'm carrying right now is this cute polka dots bag in a pretty coral-ish color with white I got as a Christmas gift. The size is perfect to carry everything I need. Not too big but not too small.
It has short straps and removable long straps, I've been liking the long ones for a change, it's comfortable. Inside it has 3 small bags where I store some of the small things I carry to find them a little easier.

So, before I type too much about one bag, let's take a look at what's inside.

♥ Pink Makeup bag with bear ears. I bought this one last year. It is kinda cute and very good quality. I changed back to it because the one I got for Christmas broke not too long ago. Boo! I don't do many makeup touch-ups during the day but I always carry this one with me, just in case. Inside my makeup bag I also carry the bear shaped mirror.

♥ Wallet. This one was a gift from Eonni, I really wanted a new wallet this year. Here I carry some cards and of course, money~

♥ Sony Cyber-shot camera. (not in the picture) Yeah, one thing I can't go out without is my beloved camera. It's been with me for a few years now and it works really well. Is the one I use for vlogging, random photos and the photos for this blog as well. It has really good resolution.

♥ Hello Kitty Antibacterial gel. It is one of those things you really could use anytime so, why not carrying one?

♥ A couple of painkillers inside a Hello Kitty can. This can used to have little candies inside but once they were over I used it to carry a few pills. I tend to get migranes often so it's super handy to carry some, in case needed.

♥ Glasses. (not in the picture) Some of you already know I can't see from affar, so whenever I'm driving or watching movies I need my glasses.

♥ Mini notebook and a pen. As a teacher I always need to carry a pen, I like thisone because it has many colors in one pen! I can switch anytime I feel like using different colors without carrying many pens and the notebook well, you never know when you'll need to write something down.

♥ Snacks! I always carry something to eat! I love sweets so, it can be chocolate, gummies, lollies, etc. It is a "must have" in my bag. 

♥ Tony Moly Mini Bunny Hand cream

♥ Missha Oil Control Sheets. I'm already running out of these!

♥ My ID and driver's license are in this Hello Kitty mini folder which used to be a Band-aid package, hehe. I like to store them out of my wallet, just in case I lose it.

♥ My phone. 

This is what I'm currently carrying, it can change from time to time. And now that I see it all in a list, I don't carry those many things! I used to carry a LOT more in the past inside bigger bags~ Oh well!
Some things such as my glasses or my house keys are not included in the picture but I usually cary them when I got out.

Would you like to se what's inside my Work bag, aka my "Teacher bag"? Hehe

And for those who are not really into reading long posts here is the video version of this "Inside my Bag" post. I was kinda excited to make it into a video too!

"Gothic Elegant" Appa Couture Photoshoot

Remember that photoshoot I had a few weeks ago? Well, I finally got the chance to see /some/ of the photos thanks to my friend Maya, who is also the designer of the collection we wore that day. And I said some of them because that day we took a lot of pictures! There were like 4 photographers and we worked with all of them. So here are some of my shots from one photographer and a few from the others.

I liked the end result! It doesn't show all the laughs we had in between photos though. There are more photos from this particular shoot but I'm only adding here mine so it doesn't end up being a huge photo spam post.

Then again, this is not my style, but it was fun to play dress up for a day!

Hope you like the piccies!

And, some from the other photographers.

✩ My January favs! ✩

Hi guys!
I didn't realize it was the end of the first month of the year already until a few days ago! I've been like crazy, I don't even know the day I'm living at~

Literally, this month went by in a blink of a eye. But I did tried some stuff I want to share with you guys as my favs of the month.

 Beauty & Makeup

As some of you already know earlier this month I bought the Missha Creamy Latte Green Tea Cleansing Foam and I've been using it for a few weeks now as part of my night routine everyday. I've been loving how my skin feels and looks after using it. I won't talk about it much in here because I want to make a separate post on that product. But yeah, deffo a favorite.
And, last December while I was doing some shopping for my sister's birthday I found this Shimmering loose eyeshadow with brush from L.A. Colors in Snow White (SE111). It's been a while since the last time I bought something from L.A. Colors! (I remember when their nail polishes used to be my ultimate favorites!) I've been into using pearly colors on my lower lash line to add that cuteness and live to my eyes and I decided to see howthis one would work for me. At first I thought it'd be a little messier for me to use a loose powder with a tiny brush on my lower lash line but once I got a hold of it I realized it's so quick and easy to use. I think the shimmers in it look super pretty and I've been using it as part of my everyday makeup.

 Clothes & Accesories

This year I realized how much I like Forever 21's clothes and accessories. I haven't bought a lot YET but I'm sure there's still a lot to come this year. One of my favorite pieces from what I've got so far are this cute pair of sushi socks! Yeah, socks! Maybe you don't know this but, I'm the type of girl who loves to wear socks with cute colors and prints on them. The cuter, the better. And I fell for them as soon as I saw them. I am a sushi lover so, they are just perfect. Hehe.
Something I've been wearing a LOT lately are the black booties my mom sent me from Spain last month. They are super comfortable and easy to match with everything. I wear them at least once a week!

 Yummies

I've tried Banana Milk and Strawberry Milk before, both are so good, it's hard to pick which one I like the most. This month I also had the Melon Milk, and it's as good as the other 2! I can easily get addicted to them.
It is no secret I am a big coffee lover but, I don't really like coffee flavored things such as ice-cream, donuts, candies, etc. Is that weird? But! This Crown Dasse Coffee Slim Cookies could make me change my mind! When I first bought them I didn't noticed the flavor, but once I tried them, I loved them! They are super slim, with a very subtle coffee flavor and a very soft texture. I don't know how to describe them, they are just soooooo good!

Places

Coffine Gurunaru has to be one of my favorite coffee places at the moment. I am a little picky when it comes to coffee and stuff but, I fell for this place! Their Blueberry drinks are a must try! As for prices, it is a tiny bit more expensive than Starbucks but trust me, it's worth it. Sadly, it is not as close to me as I wish it was so, I can't visit it as often!

So, those are my favs for this month, I'm so excited for February, the month of love! I just adore the whole "Valetine's Day" feeling everywhere!

Until next time!

My first time modeling!

Hello loves!
Last Saturday was such a diiferent but fun day. I got the chance to model for a photoshoot! Honestly, I was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect because the concept of the whole event was a bit bit different from my style. But once I got there, everyone made me feel so comfortable! I really enjoyed the whole experience! From having my makeup done to wearing a unique design, beautifully handmade from my friend Maya's collection.

I feel so honored she even thought of me to wear one of her dresses, especially since I had no experience modeling.

I do have a little experience with the fashion world because as some of you already know, I am a fashion designer even though I don't work as one. I had the chance to work on fashion related things for a few years and I kinda know how it works backstage, I know the whole process of creating a piece of clothing but! I never had a photoshoot where I had to be the model!

I learned a lot from this! I had no idea how exhausting it was to spend a whole day posing! But it was fun.

I also got reunited with friends I haven't seen in a while! We had some big laughs and long talks. Definitely a great day!

I don't have the actual photos of the shoot (or shoots! Since we had to work with many photographers) but once I have them I will share them with you guys in here. For now I can show you some pics Maya took from the backstage and random moments.

Yara, Mayis & Chris, we make a fun team! LOL

Lemon green nails!

Hello sunshines! 

This is the color I'm currently wearing on my nails.
It's a lemon green (which looks more yellow-ish to me) color from Missha Nail Polish (GR02). I don't wear green on my nails often,

I think I only have an other green one which is a metallic darker one, kinda makes me think of TinkerBell, that's why I wanted to try a new green and went for this one.
When I bought it it had a 20% off so the price was super reasonable for a small bottle.

Last year I bought another nail polish from Missha, same line but bigger version and I really liked it, can't help to fall for the cute heart shaped bottle. After 3 coats I got this color, closer to the exact color from the bottle and it dries fast. 

As for the color, I like it but I'm just not sure I like how it looks on my nails~ Maybe I just have to get used to it.

What do you guys think?

Haul: Missha cleansing products, masks and nail polish.

Hi dollies!

I made my first Missha shopping of the year! Yay! I'm happy with what I got but, I regret not buying the Missha Box my friends got, those boxes had a ton of good products for almost the same amount of money I spent in a few~ Next time, I'm deffo getting one!
I wish we could've made an unboxing video or post with the Missha box they got, it was just too good!

♥ Missha Prime 24k Gold Snail Lip Gel Patch. Which are like small "masks" for your lips. Helps your lips to feel and look more moisturized and nourished. And, I think they look really cute! Can't wait to try this one!
♥ Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask, Pomegranate. It is no secret I love sheet masks but, this will be my first time trying Missha's!
♥ Missha Super Aqua Cleansing Tissue. This is my second time buying these and I absolutely love them.
♥ Missha Creamy Latte Green Tea Cleansing Foam.
♥ Missha Nail Polish (GR02)

And of course! Can't forget about the samples. BB creams to try!

I will be blogging about some of these products as I start using them.
Bye for now!
