Estee Lauder, Christian Dior, Guerlaine, Chanel....

Ohh, so luxurious!!! It's springtime now and I wish you all being inspired, motivated, healthy and happy!

My email has been redundant by all beauty tips, trend reform, fashion reports, vanity modification, etc..etc...!!!!

So good I have 2 trend icons as daughters so there's no confounding fashion world that suits me. Shopping with brand articles is a proven magical moments for me and so with my Emmy and Tessan. I can gladly recall when Emmy was in her teens and already insisted to buy M.A.C's make-up complete set for many thousands of kronor that puts my husband in state of shock! Well, she got it actually as we had a compromise solution that we 3 can share that costly commodity she really desired for.

In fact, I have been spending some fortune to follow the flow and keep my wellbeing maintained. Strange enough, I feel the enjoyment inside everytime I see all these stuff and I assure to myself, it's all worth it!!

Kind of my fountain of youth

Barbie - Worlds freshest 50-year old this year!

I feel very much nostalgic seeing all articles and photos about Barbie as Mattel Inc. is celebrating the 50th anniversary manufacturing the most loved and desired dolls by young girls in 50 years time.

In early 60's, my father was able to send one cousin of mine to finish his education in college and right after my cousin graduated he'd been so lucky to land a job overseas immediately. I remember, he would send a Barbie doll on Christmas to his youngest sister who is at my age. My sister Manang Emilia and me would just admire this cousin enviously. We could just fantasized and dreamed of having such expensive and exclusive doll as Barbie at that time.

One time, my mother and my aunt made a barter (as they used to do it often) to our favor. We had 2 famille rose porcelaine plates, a heirlooms from my father-side of which my mother exchanged for a Barbie!!! Mamang is a generous, energetic, loving woman even then and as of today. Maybe someday, God willing I can show Mamang some of my Barbie collection too.

Ginger, Garlic, Vanilla, Blueberries are existing favorites in my spence and freezer!

Tremendously fascinating that spices are among the most preciously valued during medieval time. Historically wise, these coveted herbes like tea, cinnamon, pepper etc are permanently interspersed during Columbus, Marco Polo, Cook, Magellan on their time exploring across the world.

I am so happy and thankful that even me can enjoy the flavor and essence of these spices in my everydays life. Nonetheless, the so called blueberries that I learned to like with gusto! These culinary and medicinal herbes and spices are actually very essential to everybody although not so many of us think the importance of these stuff.

A romantic night with a partner? Yes, it works with garlic if both takes the same time

Ginger generally recognized as medicinal alternative to most common sickness

Blackpepper helps for such illnesses as constipation, diarrhea, earache, insect bites and many more

According to supernatural and magical powers, Cinnamon is a multipurpose ingredient used for purification, luck, love and money

The essential oils of Vanilla and Vanillin are also used in aromatherapy

Blueberries are highly proven potential anti-disease effects

And so with the bright color red currant
