I did notice Christmas stuff at the shops yesterday and today. This is from Costco.
This reminds me that I have to put up a tree early November so we don't miss out on Santa when we come back. :)

Is it Christmas Yet
Retail Therapy
I reckon, it has been a while since I've been to the shops to buy myself something so while I was at Costco (went to re-fuel), I wandered in.
Of course, I didn't wander far really. Just stayed in the middle area where all the clothings are. I bought Dickies shirts that are really good price. Fifteen bucks for adults and 10 bucks for kids.

Dame Edna-ish
Okay, so I need new glasses. I mean, the old pair was about 3 years old. They were giving me headache in the afternoon, is what I thought of course. Never mind the fact that the heat reflection on the glass window at work in the afternoon despite the aircon is also a bit off-putting. It's just me, by the way.
So I got new glasses. Not my usual type but I thought, I'm due for a bit of Dame Edna-ish.
Skirts for Narrow Hips
Is that even correct? Anyway, I don't really know the term but that is what I am. I have narrow hips. I'm still wondering how was I able to give birth to 6.8lbs baby. :)
Anyway, if you are like me and wants to wear skirt that will flatter your shape, these are the styles that were recommended by google. Haha. See, I take advice from google now.
They don't look bad at all.

Facial Hair Removal
It seems that I have been obsessing hair removal recently. No, I didn't just get hair on my body recently. I'm not a teenager anymore. I have been using trusted methods and I have been okay with them. My curiousity arises due to many methods are there in the market and I though, I am still very naive when it comes to it.
I have been thinking of using wax strips and actually bought a packet today. I got home, did some reading and found that waxing might cause bumps later on. That gave me a pause with my plan. I went back to my trusted method then, tweezing. Only took 5 minutes, viola!
These are it
the shoes that I am looking for, that's what I am talking about. I'm crossing my fingers. I just bought them today for a really bargain price so I have not tried to walk in them for a long distance. But they seem to be promising. Soft soles. Soft upper lining. And they fit perfectly. I have to wear them to work this week to test their reliability of being travel shoes. 
I quickly duck down to the shops today to buy kitty crystal litter and of course, I couldn't resist dropping by the shoes shop.

Nautical? Summer?
Hmmm.. not that I really like stripes but I do like blue. When I bought this, there were only one left at the shop. A few weeks later when I visited the shop again, the shopkeeper said... she wished that she kept one for her self.
it reminds me of sunshine, summer and the beach. Nautical design you say? Maybe. I just love it.
Waxing
so, i can say that i have not gone through waxing in any hairy part of my body. i have a very low pain threshold - though i have given birth - that i am not sure that it is worth it.
i can put it in my bucket list but not accomplished any time soon, mind you.
anyway, i was curious about brazilian wax. i mean, really curious. so i did some reading.
apparently, there's just no privacy when going through brazilian wax. it is comparable to going to your OB. hmmm, i suppose it's a small or big price for vanity and hygience.
what to expect? the technicians, if you may call them that, will dip a wooden stick to the melted wax and lather the area. when it is dry, i suppose, they peel off the wax by strip. imagine ripping the bandage off. the wooden stick must only be dipped once and then discarded.
the hair must at least be a half an inch long or as long as grain of rice - didn't say it was long grain or jasmine. :)
oh, ask for a hard wax, it was said to be less painful. have the waxing done regularly - for some 3-4 weeks, some 6 weeks. it all depends on the texture of your hair.
and ask for the name of your technician. you wouldn't want to bare yourself to different person everytime, do you?
