Is this a legal car shopping?

Are you watching the latest news about the controversies re the imported cars in Subic? These vehicles were actually shipped here in the country from abroad. This is exactly what you call as auto transport. The cars, or mostly SUVs that were transported are mostly luxury cars. And according to news, these are traded in real steal prices. So a lot of people are actually enticed to buy one, or literally car shopping in the said area. 

Auto Transport is actually about relocating a vehicle. Car Movers is one of the companies that do car shipping for a fee. They are the appropriate company to check if you are looking to ship your vehicle. Car Movers for example do have state of the art carriers capable of shipping many vehicles at once, safely and quickly. So this is the company that most rich and famous use to transport their sports or luxury cars.

What’s for this year?

Margaux won the best costume in the trick or treat party in hubby’s office last year. She was in her dumbo costume. Look here…

Now, as early as August, I’m already on the look out for great Halloween Costumes. I wonder what could be the best costume for her to wear? I also would like to get something for Bianca this year as I’m sure she would also enjoy the trick or treats already. I’m thinking that they would look great in some
Disney Costumes which i saw from Eastern Toys. They have lovely and unique costumes not only for children but also for adults. The prices online are also a steal, great prices! Oh, the girls love the disney princesses so much and adores Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty a lot. But I’m not sure yet if that’s what I’m getting for them since I am very sure there would be a lot of little girls out there who will also be on those costumes. I want something unique and playful so I’m browsing some more. My options could also be the Star Wars Costumes like the Star Wars Princess Leia costume for Margaux and the Star Wars Yoda Infant costume. These are both cute!

Hmm, what do you think?

5 Make-up Essentials

Kelly and Tracy tagged me with this. Sorry for the delay girls.

So what are the essentials for me?

1. Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil (can’t go out without this! my secret to a very flawless look!)

2. It is partnered with my Bare Escentuals Kabuki Brush. The mineral veil works well with this perfect brush!

3. I dash a little bit of Bare Escentuals Glee for my cheeks.

4. I always have cracked lips so Burt’s Bee Lip Balm works with wonders. This is the only one that can heal my lips.

5. I finish up with my bare escentuals lipstick in gingersnap shade.

Simple stuff.  I barely use foundation, only for occasions and when I feel like it.  Ok, I’m an addict bare escentuals user! I just love mineral make-up!

Let me know your essentials girls, Yvetchie, Yvelle, Vina and Val!

For diabetics…

I have seen from Rated K show just recently how Diabetes can really affect one’s life and one’s health.  There was one person who was featured from the show, narrated how much he struggled with the disease.  In fact, diabetes take a toll on his health making him drop down in weight.  He also said that this disease caused their family to be affected financially since he had to purchase a lot of diabetic supplies that includes strips so he can check his sugar most of the time, which is also not available widely available in their area. I wish there is Hocks Pharmacy in this side of the globe. This pharmacy take the reputation of becoming a leading diabetic supplies provider. They have insulin supplies that can be shipped right away when you need it. They also have a diabetic log online where they can track the progress of the patient and would automatically send the supply needed.

They also provide free glucose meter with purchase of most blood glucose test strips.  This is indeed a great solution for those who are suffering from the disease.
