Hair Styling Enhancement With Lace Front Wigs

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine. 

It is almost end of the school year, and it is graduation and recognition time.  Many of us are very busy during this last period of the the school year. Parents of graduating students are getting ready for the special day.  We all want to look nice and presentable. 

One of the places we go for pampering and beauty enhancements is the salon for hair care and up-dos. I enjoy going to the salon once in a while. But if you only want to make your hair look nice with great volume, I would suggest to just get a hair wig.  If you want to keep the current look and style of your hair, a sensationnel lace front wig would be a great accessory for your locks. Without worrying of fading or sagging, this wig can be of use for many occasions in your life.

For thin and frizzy hair like mine, a lace front wig can be a tool to make my hair look amazing.  I can always choose what color or volume of wig I like the most. Hair styling can be very tedious sometimes. But with a wig, hair styling is a charm. 

Congratulations to all the graduates! And congratulations, parents.

Special Occasion

My birthday falls on a Thursday of this month.  I am going to be a year older again.  Ugh. Time flies like an arrow.

I don't have any thing fancy planned for my birthday.  I just want to go out and eat at a fine restaurant.  Lunch or dinner maybe.  But my husband said we will go to our folks' and celebrate my birthday there.  He also wants to celebrate his promotion at work with his parents.  Congratulations, daddy!

So we'll be out of town this coming weekend that's for sure.

Weekend Snapshot: Hubby's Birthday Cards

Happy birthday to my dear husband. He's a half century old like he said. :) He's so funny.  He told me ahead of time that he doesn't want to have a party on his birthday.  So we just had dinner at Big Daddy's Barbeque Restaurant located in Lavon (Texas).  We haven't been there in a while.  I remember the last time we ate there, my darling daughter liked the place.

As for the birthday gifts, I couldn't think of something but a gift card.  And that's what he got as usual. 
Hubby's birthday greeting cards.

Weekend Snapshots: Sister-in-law's Birthday

This is my favorite birthday balloon at the party.

Simple cake decoration but sure looks yummy.

And yes it's yummy!  Chocolate cake is my favorite, too.
 It's my sister-in-law's birthday today and she had small party at her house.  Still sleepy from watching the LeAnn Rimes concert in Oklahoma last night, I attended the party with my husband and darling daughter.  All the family was invited and came to her party.  

It is always a great thing that we get together on a special occasion like this.  Our kids get to see their cousins and play ball in the backyard.  The food was good.  Beef and chicken fajitas with Mexican rice and beans were delicious!  Of course those came with sauces, too.  :)

How about you?  Do you enjoy family parties too?

Gorgeous Mother Of The Bride Dress For My Mom To Wear On My Wedding Day

Seems like it was last Spring that my husband and I got married.  Our wedding was a garden wedding in the Spring of 2008.  It was my very first time in the United States of America and I didn't know how chilly the breeze is in the Spring.  My wedding dress was a Princess Halter style gown.  With a little bare in the back, honestly, I was quite shivering during the wedding ceremony.  No joke!  Gladly the ceremony wasn't that long.  We had some few portraits taken then we headed immediately to the reception in Holiday Inn Hotel.

I sure missed my family on my wedding day.  If there were opportunities available for them, especially for my parents, to come over to witness my special day I could have talked my husband to that.  Celebrating my big day would've have been more awesome.  And I could have got this Mother of the Bride dress for my mom to wear.


There are so many gorgeous Mother of the Bride dresses and bridesmaid dresses at JJsHouse.com that all I had to do was shop and wished that my parents and siblings have had witnessed DH and I on our wedding day.

Birthday Presents From Friends And Loved Ones


My birthday presents. :)
My birthday presents ;) I had a great time on my birthday.  My husband let me go to Oklahoma for some entertainment that morning of my birthday.  It was so enjoyable that I stayed there until eight o'clock in the evening.  I received a bouquet of flowers and greeting cards from friends and loved ones.  A few things I didn't expect was the watch (from cousin), the Versace Eau de Toilette and Versace perfumed lotion, and the $$$ cash from my dear husband's parents.

I posted the Versace perfume in my wishlist.  My husband bought it for me and gave it to me that evening when I got home from Oklahoma.  The perfumed lotion was also a surprise because it was in a package on my doorstep two days after my birthday.  I didn't have a clue who'd give it to me until I read note at the back of shipping label saying it's from my close friend.  Awww!  I gave her a call right away!

Weekend Snapshot: Our Happy V!



Our Happy Valentine's Day greetings and chocolates.  
Guess which chocolate belongs to me? ;)

Like I said, we didn't have something big going on Valentine's Day.  I tidied up the house a little bit to get rid of clutters and went to the grocery store to buy a greeting card and Hershey's Kisses chocolates for my dear husband. For most of us, February 14 is the special day of the month.

On his way home, he called and asked me if I want to go out for dinner.  I said I want to dine in at a restaurant nearby because the traffic will be bad for sure.  And so, my family and I had dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant just three miles from the house.

How about you?  What did you do and where did you go on Valentine's Day?

Hello February!

Hello February!  What's gonna be our plans this month?  Well, Valentine's Day is coming in two weeks.  My husband was like "Oh no!  I have two girls now for Valentine's Day."  Hahaha!  He's funny.  I don't have anything big planned for V-Day.  Like usual, we will have dinner in a restaurant.  Maybe movie date too?  Not sure yet because I haven't thought much about that.  We'll see.

What's your plans on Valentine's Day?

Problem On Leaking Pipes Solved

I went to visit a friend who has had her birthday few days ago.  I wasn't able to come over to her house on that day because I wasn't feeling well.  The coughing and sneezing were really bad. Gladly I didn't run a fever.  And thankfully, my husband and my daughter didn't get sick.  It's no fun when sick. 

Anyway, when I got to feel better, I went to see her and brought some pizza and a birthday greeting card.  It's better late than never, you know.  :) I was happy for her because the water leak in their living room was fixed in no time.  They contacted a plumbing service that really was reliable.  Now their next plan is re-flooring because of a few holes created on their floors from leak detection.

Weekend Snapshot: Winner!


I won one of the door prizes at the company Christmas party.
My dear husband and I attended his company's Christmas party last Saturday.  It was held at Blue Mesa Restaurant in Addison (Texas).  He introduced me to his new colleagues.  After the 'white elephant' style exchanging of gifts, drawing for the door prizes came up next.  I didn't know hubby wrote my name on his raffle ticket until it was called.  I went up to the  front and picked a prize.  My DH likes liquor (only on special occasion) so I picked the Coffee Liquor made with tequila. It comes with two shot glasses too.  Cool!  As I was walking back towards our table, his boss said "Are you old enough to drink that?".  That was funny!

Thanksgiving Day 2013

We had a great Thanksgiving Day celebration with my husband's family.  We woke up early, got ready, and drove to our folks' so we can be there before the Thanksgiving dinner at 1:00 P.M.  We ordered breakfast to-go at McDonald's so DD, DH, and I had something to much on the road.

Everybody's busy at the folks' house.  When we arrived, the rest of the family were there already except my husband's sister because she was still at work.  We waited for her to arrive then we ate super delicious Thanksgiving feast.

My mother-in-law.  FIL and BIL at work with that turkey.
Kids having fun playing board games.
My favorite dirty rice.
Grown-ups were playing Mahjong.  I almost win it. 
We also had lots of pies-cherry pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and lemon squares.  They're so yummy!  I enjoyed the pumpkin pie and the lemon squares.  It was a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebration as always.  My sister-in-law, her husband, her son, and me played Mahjong.  I haven't played in a while and I didn't know how they play it here in the US.  My MIL taught me and I was kind of getting it now.  


Our folks' lemon tree bears fruits and they ripen around Thanksgiving.
After playing outside, DD picked some leaves in the backyard and gave them to me.
Cute napkin.
How about you?  How's your Thanksgiving Day?

We Enjoy Shooting Fireworks!

Everyone, except my sister-in-law's family, came over to our house to celebration the 4th of July this year.  We prepared a big dinner because we had a good crowd.  Our friend J and her family came over, too, to celebrate and shoot fireworks for the first time.  We enjoy shooting fireworks on the 4th of July and in the New Year's, too.  Our neighborhood and neighboring areas are not (yet) inside the city limits so we can still shoot fireworks.  

This year, we made some deep-fried cat fish fillets, potato salad, fried onion rings, garden salad, and corn for dinner.  Our guests brought some dessert such as brownies and strawberry shortcake.  Our dear friend J and her family brought some brisket and my favorite Kare-Kare.  Lots of food!  So delicious!

Dinner with the family on the 4th of July.
Beautiful spark!
Shooting a firework...trying not to be scared.

Flowers Picked From The Yard

One of the joys of being a mom is when your child brings you a flower he picked from the yard.  As of the moment, Dandelion is an addition to my favorite flowers.  My DD always bring me a flower whenever we go outside for a walk.  Very sweet.



On the other hand, my hubby and DD brought me a beautiful bouquet of red roses with a cute greeting card on Mother's Day.  Oh how I love them so much!
