Dainty

Haayy.. I blog almost everyday that it seems like I don't have a life.. :/ hahaha its alright though, it seems like you readers like it when I do! :D :D I've getting been formpsring questions/comments, emails and tweets about it and how much you love my blog and you have no idea how much it means to me. I wouldn't get what I have now if not for all of you and because of this, from the bottom of my heart thank you thank you thank you :) And to show how much I'm thankful, look at my belated birthday giveaway post! :D haha 

So anyway, went out with my family today to watch Source Code. It was such a great movie and I definitely recommend it :) It's a new idea and a very good one! Watched it in Rockwell earlier and this is what I wore:

Wanted to go for something dainty so I opted for a lace top, khaki shorts and a pearl necklace :)

OHH!! and if you haven't noticed, I have the BIGGEST love for Giraffes!!!!! I buy anything that has a giraffe on it and it's still one of my dreams to see one in person. For now, I'm gonna settle for giraffe cookies :D haha I was so giddy when I found them earlier in the food bazaar in Rockwell :D I just had to get 3 right away!

RED ROCK NAIL SPA Outside my village Merville, all you'll be seeing are tricycles lined up, a market, junk shops, a bakery, and people walking screaming and talking like there's no tomorrow but admist all the chaos, there's this sign that says "RED ROCK NAIL SPA" and believe me, its relaxation heaven and I tell you, its different from the others. Very different from the environment it stands in. Being Merville near Fort and a few minutes away from Resorts World, it's nice to have a place near home where you could getaway and have me time even just for an hour or two. Let me show you the place and let them convince you why it's one of a kind. IMG_1773 IMG_1753 RED ROCK NAIL SPA has services made especially for men. I know this is nothing new for spas but the masculine interiors are inviting for both men and women. IMG_1754 They only have about 6 lazy boys and I love this fact because they respect personal space unlike most nail spas. One of the big reasons why I'm inlove with this place so much :) IMG_1761 IMG_1769 Just the right lighting for you to relax and unwind :) IMG_1774 They also use ONLY imported nail polish without any extra charge unlike most spas. They have a wide array of colors and designs that would make you want to change your polish everyday :) They're also planning to bring in Chanel and I'm so excited for it!!!! I hope it pushes through :) IMG_1755 IMG_1756 IMG_1760 I tried their Peppermint Foot Spa last Friday and ahh I loved it. I've tried 2 of their foot spas and I can't wait to try the rest! It also comes with a complimentary back massage for the complete package! :) IMG_1778 IMG_1779 I chose between these two colors... IMG_1775 and went with the silver! Super love it :) IMG_1787 With really nice and welcoming owners, friendly staff, no invasion of personal space, relaxing spa treatments, a wide array of Orly and China Glaze nail polish, a convinient location, there's no doubt why you shouldn't come and visit them! :) Oh and they also have services for kiddies!!
