I'm on a Boat T-Shirt (NachomamaTees Product Review & Giveaway) (ENDED)

"Even if vintage t-shirts and custom shirts aren't on your list today, we have something for everyone." 

- Stated from the website

This statement is so true! Nacho Mama Tees has a huge selection of t-shirt and I love them all... actually I am a huge fan of unique items and also t-shirts! Plus, Nacho Mama Tees includes both my loves... which is awesome! However, there are some shirts at Nacho Mama Tees that I won't wear, there are still a lot of shirts that I would love to have! (But still it isn't bad to try something new - right?)

So for review... I really didn't know which one to choose, so I decided to pick the mystery t-shirt - this is where the company randomly picks out a tee for you and I received the "I'm on a boat t-shirt". This t-shirt is vintage (trust on that one) and I love the blue colour. Also, it's really soft!

 The description online of the t-shirt states "Im on a boat t shirt. Im on a boat shirt is screened on our super soft tees. You'll love this vintage style tee. Take off on the SNL im on a boat skit with Andy Samberg and T-Pain im on a boat."

Find X T-Shirt (CostumeSquad Product Review & Giveaway) (ENDED)

CostumeSquad is great place to shop if you are looking for attire that is anything that are comfortable and cute!

The "CostumeSquad" offers a huge selection of novelty t-shirts with very cool designs that will defiantly crack a smile laugh and get a laugh out of you. (Trust the t-shirt I choose received tons of smiles especially one from my professor). Plus, all the shirt was listed in the all t-shirts section of the website, where you can find all sorts of funny t-shirts. It was hard to decide which one to pick, as I liked most of them. Also, there are many other categories to choose from when buying a t-shirt from CostumeSquad. They have a lot of funny t-shirts as well as a selection of Halloween t-shirts. And don't forget their selection of Halloween costumes.


I was given the chance to do a product review on one of their t-shirts and I had a hard time choosing one. Eventually I picked out a t-shirt that relates to me - "Math"... I choose the t-shirt Find X! I love it - and plus I wore this t-shirt to my math exam and my professor smiled when he read the message on the t-shirt!

 
Overall, I love the t-shirt! Also the material is so soft and comfy!! I would definitely be checking out this website more often. However, the only negative factor about this t-shirt is that it's too big ( I choose a "S", but still it's huge ohh well... so I where this t-shirt as an off-the-shoulder top - and it looks really cute) Other that small issue that t-shirt is amazing!!

Monster Factory Review

Today's review post opens many doors to my old childhood memories 

of monsters hiding under my bed and also in my closet. 

As I child I wasn't afraid (still not afraid) of monsters 

I was actually a weird little kid! 

I used to love to go outside in the dark (with my parents) and even loved walking in the basements without lights at night. I found those actions pretty cool and made me feel brave 

(yes by now many you got the idea! - I was a tomboy & I was and still am proud of it - I believe that made me stand out even more as a child... It gave me more character and strength - but I did get bullied for it... off topic!!)

So, have you guys heard about Monster Factory a website where they make cute little monsters.

If you haven't check them out and you will find out what your missing.

They literally take monsters and make them cute and fun for everyone to love!

"The Monster Factory is a character toy brand run by Adam Dunn, Rhya Tamasauskas, and Bliss Man. Together they design and create engaging monster characters who live in a strangely familiar world. Combining their backgrounds in film, art, and fashion, the creators have developed a strong sense of collaboration that affects every aspect of their process from storytelling to product design. Their efforts have produced countless monster characters who, despite their appearances, are just like you and me."

I received the most adorable monster from The Monster Factory. 

His name is Doyle.  

Doyle is red with a big green mouth and he is totally adorable.
What really makes Doyle adorable is the cute big smile on his face. 
Doyle is made out of high quality material and you could tell by the fabric used;  it is so thick but very soft to the touch. Also, the monster is such a high quality is the fluffy and soft (as I mentioned before).
Doyle is stuffed very well that he is so sturdy (which is good while compared to my other stuffed toys).


He is so cute and adorable, plus he would make an awesome gift for any occasions for anyone!

Your Life & Mine

This photo above...tells a story that many of us forget.

Whether we do on purpose or it's just in our memory we still tend to forget about it.

But why?

Every one forgets it... just like me! 

I even tried hard by putting it up on my ceiling so I can stare at it when I wake up ...

what may you ask? 

Well ... it that every one forgets that this is

LIFE!

It's just life... my life... your life... our lives!

but still

no one seems to remembers it

... 

don't know why

I ask myself this question everyday - still no answer

Everyone makes mistakes - which makes us humans

I know that no one is perfect but I could be wrong

and

if you know anyone who is perfect or even if you are

tell me... how to help yourself from living a regular life.

Because I struck each day ...everyday!

Have you ever felt as the world is ending when you make an error, a booboo, a mistake!
Well, have you?

If you have ... 

first of all - its normal so don't worry!

second of all - just remember that the world doesn't come to an end cause of your mistake!

Just remember and live by that specific rule

and

trust me you can go so much further in life.

Just remember we are the owner of our lives

god might be the on who created us

but it 

us who will find our identity of who we are!

so just remember even if life is going against you

...

just remember that you are the author of your life

your story!

That's something one can ever change!

This is another inspirational post... 

this is for all my friends

(out there) 

who are struggling with find "what life is"

and

learning that everyone makes mistakes!

Making mistakes makes us a better person - that's what my parents told me (since childhood)

Well, have a lovely day!

KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron (c/o Flat Iron Experts) Product Review

Flat Iron Experts is one of the best website I came across for online beauty supplies... it sells many items from nail polishes to flat irons. In the  month of June (3rd) , I got a chance to do a product review for one of their flat irons. It took me a while for review since I really wanted to know if it would actually good quality. So here is my product review on Flat Iron Experts’ product the KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron.

Here are some information about the KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron from the site:

Price: $159.95 CAD

The KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron, available in Canada through Flat Iron Experts, is rated one of the top flat irons on the market and preferred by top hair stylists around the world. KQC flat irons has been featured in countless magazines and press including Salon Magazine, Fashion Magazine, In Style, Canadian Hairdressers, BEAT 94.5, Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province and more. With KQC X-Heat you can straighten, flip, curl and tame frizzy or rebellious hair for long-lasting results. Equipped with a ultra powerful Korean Ceramic Heaters that provides precise and stable temperature. Heating up to 410 F in less than 30 seconds. You just cant go wrong with the KQC X-HEAT recommended with 100% confidence by Flat Iron Experts.

Here are some terms used to describe flat irons and what you should know about them, taken from Flat Iron

Experts:
Tourmaline / Ceramic Technology: KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Straightener’s distributes heat across the entire surface evenly, retains heat more efficiently, and eliminates damaging hot spots. Ceramic emits a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat that helps your hair:
1. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft
2. Eliminates frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth and shiny hair
3. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle during styling

Negative Ion Technology: Negative ions are atoms that can stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, etc., resulting in healthier hair and scalp. Negative ion energy is powerful enough to break apart clusters of water molecules. The smaller water molecules penetrate into the hair shaft by slipping between the cuticles, adding plumpness/volume to hair. The bombardment of negative ions also closes the hair cuticle, which is very good for the health and appearance of the hair.

Far Infrared Heat : Far Infrared (FIR) rays are electro-magnetic waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, including the hair shaft. It therefore dries the hair from the inside out. The result is that more moisture remains in the hair shaft and there is less damage to the hair.

My Product Review

Overall, I love the product!

I received the KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron on May 27^th and from that day onwards I have officially fallen in love... yes in love with the flat iron. To be frank, I rarely use to flat iron – since my hair is natural waves and I love the natural hair look. However some I do love to look dressed up with some volume/straight hair. And this flat gave me all the results I wanted and also, I actually asked my mom and also my sister to try it out. They also ended up giving me the same answer and also wanted to use the flat iron more often. This flat iron makes my hair looks moister and more shinny – and not dead. Overall, love the KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron.

Causeofmyjoy.com & Get 25% Off (Ended)

By now all of my lovely readers know about me and my struggles with choosing clothes and my war with shopping.

Many of you already know even with my battles "I LOVE CUTE CLOTHES".  My clothing collection is pretty tiny and compared to many people I know. It's tiny cause nothing really attracts me fast and not really catches my attention. 

If you can commiserate with any of my struggles in finding cute casual clothes, then look no further you would  definitely be as happy know about the website "Causeofmyjoy.com".  I had the pleasure of interviewing Darv Dayondon, the founder of Causeofmyjoy.com, this month and learning more about his company. 

When and how did “Cause of My Joy” get started?

I thought of the name Cause of My Joy back January of 2011, and back then it was just a name. I wasn't sure if it was going to be eCommerce site, a clothing label, a retail location or just a phrase. It wasn't until the beginning of May that I implemented my plans of a eCommerce fashion boutique into actions. I was really inspired by someone who pushed me to go make my future happen, instead of waiting for things to happen. I have worked in the eCommerce Fashion industry for over 2+ years and decided this could be something I can succeed at. Though my heart lies in designing clothing I can definitely use this platform to get to where I really want to be. Though the site is very new, items are added on a weekly basis so you can always expect to find something new every week. I went to school for design so I really know a thing or three about clothing. I hope CauseofmyJoy.com is going to be go to place to find great fashion at an affordable price. We want to turn cute into chic!

Is there a story behind you name “Cause of My Joy”?

For as long as I remember I have always found joy in helping friends and family find themselves through fashion. This site will definitely give more people access through my point of view in the fashion industry and help people elevate there personal style. I curate my site so I can find pieces that you sometimes might not find or something you might find everywhere but at a very competitive price that really wont dent your bank account. Some things are on trend and other pieces might go against the grain, but I can guarantee that fabrication and quality of the items will me up to higher level of standards.

What are some of your inspirations for your items?

I really get a lot of my inspiration from major designers all over the world, I try to translate what they do into something for the masses, a lot of people don't understand high fashion and this is my way of translating that to them. I religiously watch fashion shows, read blogs and keep up with pop culture so I can stay on the current fashion trajectory. 

What are your price rangers?

I always want to keep my prices competitive. For tops  and bottoms the prices range from basics seamless camisoles for $5 to more fancier top in the mid to high $20. Dresses range from mid 20s to low 40s. Outerwear will range from depending on the style from 20's to 40's. One thing I can assure are prices are going be lower if not the same than other eCommerce sites.

What are some of your best-selling items you recommend every woman having in their closet?

The best selling is the Alana Top, comes in white and coral it's a simple sleeveless button up shirt that I have had to re-order twice. Items that every woman should have in their closet are going to be a LBD "little black dress," a good blazer, and a pair of jeans that fit you really wear. I think with these essentials you can really mix and match with an array of items to change up your look. 

Anything else you'd like to add?

Somethings to look forward to in the near future are going to be shoes, plus sizes, men clothing and cause of my joy clothing line.

There's never enough time!

"There's never enough time!"

This post title relates perfectly to my present lifestyle!

I know it's the summer break for many of my readers, but sadly I am still stuck in school 

(cause of my decision of doing summer courses)

Plus, this week have been extremely hectic due to all my midterms exams - however I am almost done - only one math midterm left (which is this Tuesday, July 5 2011; wish my luck)

Little Warning: This post is gonna be really long

Last Thursday, I went to the CN Tower after six years. I went with my sister and my cousin, we had an amazing time. Plus, many of your already know that my campus is in downtown and every morning I do see the CN Tower up close. However, this time it was a different feeling cause I ended up going with my family (well my sister and my cousin). I had an amazing time - I took tones of photos; mainly the scenery and not much of the my sister or my cousin or myself. I love taking photos of scenery (as many of you already know from my past inspirational posts). We spend atleast six hours on CN Tower itself, plus we ended up watching the 3rd movie and going on the motion ride. The motion ride was so much fun, but i didn't like the water spraying on my face for every few seconds (however the water did make the ride even more exciting). After long day at CN Tower, we had a small lunch and ended up coming home to a BBQ with family.

On the photo above I am wearing an off-shoulder top and dark washed skinny jeans from Stitches and regular gladiator flats from Club Couture.

(Quick info: The photos above were taken by me - except for the one with me in it - also, please remember, if anyone would like to use my photos... 

please contact me at mylyfemystory@gmail.com

I would really appreciate it!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now a quick little haul

(I have never done this before, however many followers on twitter requested do atleast one - so this is my first try and hopefully it's successful)

This June 2011 (which just past) I had a chance to go to a MAC warehouse sale & thanks to one of my aunts we received five VIP tickets (which was so cool). So, my sister, her friend, then my cousin and I decided to go all together for this event. I have to say it was pretty amazing (especially for me - a girl who hates shopping). They has so many amazing makeup items, but since I am not a huge fan of makeup I had a pretty hard to to decide what I want and my cousin joined me. However, my sister and her friend jump right in and started making a list. 

Although I took my time deciding on what to buy, I ended up purchasing a gift set box (and the best part was buy one and get one free - right that instant it was a win-win situation for me)

I purchased "Estee Lauder" gift set - which was 2 for $30 and it can with a cute clutch, an eyeliner, a beautiful power set, two lipsticks and a small size perfume. Since it was 2 for $30 - I received double the amount (which was cool). If I were to buy this gift set at a mall I would have spent around $80/each. I ended up saving so much.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, Friday, July 1st was Canada Day and I ended up going to watch fireworks. Plus, I was drowned in my math textbooks - so I wasn't able to post the giveaway winners - (sorry, but I did email on Friday)
