Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series


image
image
I definitely loved the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic and have just watched it for a zillion times. Kidding! But really, I’ve watched it a lot if times. So I went to the bookstore and found her book Shopaholic Abroad, which says ‘Continuation of Confessions of a Shopaholic’. So I bought it and actually loved it! Though I also discovered that some of the scenes was already in the movie and just changed a lot of scenes.
Then after a while of finishing reading the book, I also saw Shopaholic Ties the Knot and Shopaholic and Baby! It’s too bad I can’t find Shopaholic & Sister on the bookstore.. But anyway, I loved how Sophie Kinsella writes so I begged my mom to buy it. hehe But I did promise to myself that I won’t buy any new book anymore. Well maybe after a few months of finishing these 2 books ;)Well I think it’s also for my own good. And Mimmy (my grandma) did tell me before that I should read books, so.. here I am. ;)
You definitely should try and read her books! Even just the first one at least. And if you haven’t watched Confessions of a Shopaholic yet, you’re missing out a lot! :)

Harry Potter Marathon


image
image
I had a pretty good morning so far. I woke up quarter to 7 and made breakfast while having a Harry Potter marathon with Piper. :) And later I’ll take a shower and clean my bookshelf and computer table. Or clean first before I shower. haha Then maybe read Shopaholic Ties the Knot in bed and sip a cup of hot chocolate. And maybe watch a new movie.
Well, those are my plans for this day so far. What about you guys? :)

A few gifts ♡


These days have been lovely. I received some few gifts, and I really appreciate it and am happy with it ♡
image
image
First, Ferrero Rocher chocolates from the sweetest sister in the world that I am lucky to have! :) Here’s her blog anyway: itslaverna.blogspot.com
image
Chocolates from my uncle Jay. (From Italy!)
image
Cute shampoos! The lavender one is mine :) From my untie Lolit ;)
image
And Cath Kidston swatches! Yipee! I was so happy that I could order these. (I actually ordered 4 swatches but it’s fine) Just so you know, I love Cath Kidston! I want to buy everything there! haha Anyway, the reason I was super happy when I got these is: Well I can order online, I read that they don’t ship to P.O. Box addresses but I still tried and it came! This is added to my wishlist btw, to be able to order things from Cath Kidston :)

Purple storage baskets





Hello! It’s been a while! My mom and sis surprised me with these cute violet.. well I don’t know what it’s called. A thing where I can put some things? haha! I looked around my room and wondered where I should put it. I have lots of perfumes and lotions and it actually looks unorganized in my bookshelf, so I just put those in the violet (baskets?) and there it is! It looks wonderful! Thanks to my sis and mom! :)
Anyway, Christmas is just around the corner! Time is so fast isn’t it? And for me it sucks. There aren’t just enough hours in a day! But anyway, I’m starting to make my Christmas wishlist. Even though I only have a 1% chance that my wishes will come true. haha But I am excited for Christmas, with or without receiving gifts! Just think of the moments we’ll be spending with our loved ones, doesn’t that make you so happy and excited? ;)

My sister's 1st anniversary


Cheesesticks :)
My favorite pasta: Spaghetti!

Korean chicken!
My sister's 1st anniversary with her boyfriend! I am so happy for them. They've gone through a lot in their first year. And I felt so bad for my sister, how things were so complicated and really hard. But thank God things have become better now. Well, there are still some problems now and I don't know how my sister will handle it. I wish the best for my sister and I hope that everything will be okay in the end.
We had a great dinner! All my favorite food was there! haha Actually this was a really late post. This was last month. I'm starting to get busy with other things. But well, I hope that everything goes well for you guys! I've been really thinking if I should stay here for college, where my family is or go to Philippines and stay there by myself. I'm struggling because I don't know a lotta things.

Nail polish wishlist


Some nail polishes from OPI and Essie nail polishes I want to own ♥
  • Pirouette My Whistle
  • You Callin’ Me a Lyre?
  • Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs.
  • and sheer Essie nail polishes..

Pretty Little Liars


So lately I’ve been watching Pretty Little Liars. My sister bought CDs of Season 1 and 2, and I really loved it! It’s showing on tvs here but I don’t get to watch all the time. That’s why I’m happy my sister bought the CDs! I really love the show. It makes me curious on what’ll happen next. To those of you who haven’t watched it, you definitely should! You can watch it online. I’m about to finish Season 2 so I’ll watch Season 3 online ;) Also, I love Spencer’s and Hanna’s room! haha

To fly like a butterfly


If you were something else, what was it and why?
A butterfly. I want to be able to fly and be always close to flowers. Making a person smile when I pass by them, having beautiful and colorful wings. Just things that make people smile :)

DIY: Floral key


image
Hello everyone! I just did another amazing and pretty DIY! (Do it yourself) :) It’s inspired from my floral bedsheet :)  I’ve been seeing different tutorials about this “customized keys”. Some people just put plain nail polish, others use glitter nail polish. Doing this, you won’t be too confused about your keys anymore! I did this one for my sister! I also painted our room key. I’ll take a picture of it next time :)
I made a tutorial for you on how to do it :) It’s quite easy! You can use a toothpick if your nail polish brush is too big. I did! ;)
image
Step 1: I used a light pink nail art pen from Etude House for the dots.
image
image
Step 2: My green nail art pen was too dark. I wanted it to be light so I mixed it a little bit with white nail polish :) Then I made a little ‘ ’ for the leaves of my flowers.
image
image
Last Step: Add some dark pink spots to the flowers. You can just copy how I did mine. And that’s it! ;)
Tell me what you think! And tell me if you did this, show me a link to your picture :)

Lilac nail art ♡

Made a nail art tutorial for you guys! Try it out! ;)
“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ~Roald Dahl 
This is my latest nail art! I call it Lilac nail art. It was inspired from my pretty new mug! I love Lilac colors and couldn’t resist on buying this mug. The pattern is absolutely lovely and perfect so I thought it would be nice to make a nail art out of it! It turned out to be gorgeous.
I also made a tutorial while making it so you guys can do it too. Let me know if you do it too! Send me your picture of your Lilac nails here > http://lovekaycee.tumblr.com/contact ♡

The Nightmare before Christmas

This was one of my favorite movies to watch back when I was a kid. We (me & my siblings) would always watch this usually at Halloween and before Christmas. I watched it again today and so happy to remember the scenes and the songs. I even sang along. I also did my nails while watching. It was inspired by Jack, the Pumpkin King!

Who else knows this movie? :)

Ikea and Marks & Spencer shopping

image

image


I had a great day yesterday. We went to Ikea to buy new stuff for our house. I’m so happy with my new things and can’t wait to use my throw blanket. :)
 It’s so pretty and I had been eyeing it. And I’ve been waiting long enough to finally buy some fairy lights. It’s so so cute but sadly, it’s short so I had to buy two. Can’t wait to hang them in my bed and also use it for other purposes. 

My room just keeps getting better and better! I’m really lovin’ it and I am so excited to show it to you guys! We really have lots of things (because my family’s been here for like 20 years already) so it takes a long time moving all this stuff. But the perks of moving out is getting to dispose or sell things we don’t really need and also reuse old things we still have. I saw all of my old toys and it just brings a lot of memories (makes me wanna go back).

I am totally loving Marks & Spencer’s snacks ♡

Recent updates of my life




The first book I got :)
Some of you may know that I/we moved to a new house. So I might make another room tour post. But I’m just waiting for my dressing table and our divider & wall shelves to be put up then I could start taking pictures. I’m very excited to finish my room and also can’t wait to show you my proud work. haha That’s what’s keeping me busy anyway :)
And also look out for my new piano cover of “Kiss the Rain by Yiruma”. I’m starting to learn “So Close by Jon McLaughlin”. I wanted to learn that before but I can’t believe I forgot. Then, missdesireemademoiselle suggested I play that. Thank you ♡ 

Back from being M.I.A

Piper is a lot more bigger now (and fluffier!)

Keep a diary and someday it’ll keep you ♡


Sorry if I have been M.I.A here lately.. I was focused at my main blog: http://lovekaycee.tumblr.com/  But here I am, back! :) Here's a summarized post from my posts on my main blog :)

I’m done packing my things. It’s been fun moving to our new house. The good thing I’ve noticed about me is that I always want to recycle/reuse and don’t want to waste things. I save and earn. Thanks to my mom. I think I got it from her :) And also, it’s fun finding old stuff that I haven’t seen a long time. Just one of the many things I found is this candle and candle holder. I love looking around for things that I can reuse :)
Go around in your house and look for some old things. You might just find something beautiful and useful :)

What's happening lately


As you can see I haven’t blogged much lately but I’m catching up :) This week has just been about packing and moving in to our new house. I feel sad and excited at the same time. We’ve stayed in this house for so so long and we made lots of memories here. But anyways, it’s been a long time since me and my sister went swimming. So we did the other day and took a few pictures :) I posted them at Instagram. Follow me @love_kaycee :)

The warmth of old friends...


As the years go by, I have noticed that more people come in and out of my life. But my true and best friends are the ones that stay in my heart forever. I wish over the next years, we will still get to keep in touch with each other. And when we meet all together again, we’ll laugh about the good times we shared before and make new memories again.
I miss my best friends. I love them so much. They’re the only ones that know me really well. And I am thankful and lucky to have them as my best friends. They will forever have a special place in my heart. And never will they be replaced. I always try not to lose touch with them. We’d always leave each other messages and chat in our group message. It’s sad that some of them don’t get to go online often. But they do leave messages when they get to. I’m getting to see them this December. We’ve been through a lot together and I do hope we can hang out again like before! :)  I miss you Farrah, Pearl, Laica, Pats, Tani, Zes.

And my very old friends there from elementary until 2nd year high school. I never forgot the memories I had shared with them. I will never ever forget them. I’ve been with them since 4th grade until 2nd year high school. We still get to talk with each other through Facebook, and I’m thankful for that. I wish to spend some time with them again. I miss you Roxanne, Kristal and Maui.

Paws on my piano


Hello everyone! How have you been doing? I’ve been up to playing new songs on the piano. Right now I’m about to finish learning River flows in you by Yiruma. It’s such a beautiful song. I’m actually listening to it every day (even now) so that it’ll be easier for me to learn the song. I might record myself again. haha :) And Piper is so sweet while I play the piano, sometimes she sits beside me and sometimes she just sit on the table near me and fall asleep. I think me playing the piano makes her fall asleep.  haha! :)
Anyway I’m always looking for new songs to play. Do you guys have anything wonderful to recommend? ;)

Here’s some love for October!


It’s a new month and that always means new beginnings for me. It’s time when I think of what I want my month to look like. And it just gives me so many positive thoughts.  This month’s gonna be totally different. We’ll be moving to a new house but still on the same compound. We just really need another room. Too bad a 4-bedroom house isn’t available for us here so we’re going to move to a 3-bedroom house and I still have to share with someone :( I can’t do anything else but just design my room to my liking. I already have my ideas for the room and I’m also starting to pack my things. I am going to miss this house. We’ve been here for so so long. Ever since my sister was little.
Anyway, I love this time of the year. I love Autumn. It’s my favorite season because it’s not too hot and not too cold. For some places, Fall already started at September. But it was still hot here then. And I think it’ll start getting cold here this month :) I’m excited to wear thick & cozy jumpers, wear gloves, beret, drink hot chocolate, layer my clothes, wear socks to bed.. Let’s embrace and welcome this month with love and excitement ♡
