I Want To Age Gracefully

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on I Want To Age Gracefully

When I grow old I want to be as chic, cool and stylish like these women. I also like their independence, stamina and confidence on handling themselves. I think most of the time they are happy because they are always smiling. Beautiful!

Once a upon a time, from the not so distant past. There\’s a hand phone called Sony Ericsson K750i. Amid all the fuss with Nokia hand-phones me and my sister preferred this little baby here. It\’s different from everybody else. To make it more special, it\’s a gift from Dad. 🙂

Zumba is the hottest fitness craze today. I\’ve just started a few weeks ago and now I\’m hooked.

There\’s this warm-up track na super deadma ko lang dati but now I was charmed with the dance step that was incorporated with the song. I can\’t stop visualizing myself dancing it over and over again. I just hope I\’ll wake up early tomorrow to attend the Tuesday class.

XOXO

All the while, I thought I can do my own make-up ala Princess Katherine. I find it so cool that she was able to manage it by herself. Unfortunately, the wedding jitters made me doubt my not-even-an-amateur-make-up-skills. Good thing, Cathy (my former housemate) recommended me to her churchmate Ate Cehcile. And should I say the rest is history.

Anyone who\’s seen my wedding pic they would always say that my make-up is nothing but gorgeous. It really is! I remember when I met her for our trial make-up she asked me what do I want but she\’s also assertive on suggestions but mainly the client will always have the last say. She\’s meticulous and pays attention to small details. Thus, the result of a radiant and gorgeous me on our special day. I love it and I\’m happy that I made this decision.

Ate I know you will come a long way from here, I can see a bright future ahead for your art and chosen medium. More power to you.

Wedding Make-up Tip:

  1. If you are confident enough to do your own make-up, go ahead. It\’ll surely save you money. If you know how to do make-up but you feel you want to know more about how to do wedding make-up, do some research and study. Browse youtube for tutorials on wedding make-up and hairstyling. Enroll in make-up classes. Do this months before so you could master it before your big day.
  2. Ask for recommendations. Especially if you have friends who got married or if you\’ve seen their make-up look.
  3. Know what you want.  I want simple, yet elegant look on my wedding. That will able to withstand flash photography.
  4. Have a trial make-up session. Its not enough that you\’ve seen a make-up artist\’s (MUA) work. You have to see whether the make-up suits and complement you.
  5. Get the approval of you husband-to-be. I can\’t imagine my husband not looking at me or cringing because he doesn\’t like my look. My husband is quite \’allergic\’ to makapal na make-up. He\’s a firm believer that natural beauty is the most beautiful of all. Good thing he liked it.
