Pink and Undecided: facial masks

Mask-Off 02 : Providence Beauty Cherry Brightening Sparkly Mask

Hey guys!

How's your weekend so far? I had a veryyy long day (but pretty fun!) that i'm going to share with you soon (d'oh, i'm dreading the resizing pictures part zzz) but for now...

I am going to review another facial mask, which is long overdue with the fact that i use pretty much different kind of masks every week-this makes facial masks lining to be reviewed is well... About a mile long *pffffttt*.

Providence Beauty Cherry Brightening Sparkly Mask (photo taken from Sasa.com)

I am not too familiar with Providence Beauty, i'm guessing it's one of those Taiwanese facial mask brands (okay i'm not actually guessing, i just read the description in Sasa.com's page *LOL*). I also Google it but not much information came up (most probably because it's Taiwanese so most of the infos available in the web would be in Chinese and won't come up when you type their English name?). I got it from, of course, Sasa.com and seen it available in various Sasa stores (i have no idea which other stores stocks them).

In the haul post i mentioned getting it purely for the packaging *LOL*

Then i also mentioned my fear of it having glitters in them or something *LOL*

Not to worry, there's not a trace of glitter whatsoever in the mask! It looks really wet and juicy though right, drenched in goodness (serum, i mean). It also comes with a layering sheet so it's still shaped nicely (not crumpled like some sheet masks can be) and it helps when it comes to opening up the sheet. It can be a bit hard with some masks since the wetness makes the sheet stuck together, you must PEEL them with patience *LOL*. Not a problem for this mask

I always feel like rolling in the floor with laughter whenever i see my mask-ed photos! The sheet fits quite nicely to my face, just a little big too big on some parts. I clearly needed to pull it up a little bit *just realizing it now, many months after i actually used it haha*

The first thing that i noticed in most products is the scent, this one is no exception. It has a strong, cherry drop smell. This kind of strong scent can be the "make it or break it" kind of thing, i happen to actually like it very much! You know i'm always attracted to sweet, yummy scents right? This is totally up my alley, but a reviewer in Sasa.com actually hated the scent (she described it as a cherry flavored cough medicine, which i also agree. It just happens that i like that kind of scents!) followed by another who said the smell is heavenly! So... It's totally just comes to personal preferences. But if you have a very sensitive nose and hate strong, sweet scents, then you should probably stay clear from this mask.

My skin at the time i wore it was especially sensitive for some reason (that i cannot remember anymore), it was reddish and a bit painful. When i put this mask on, it really stung! But i think it was because of the ultra sensitive condition of my skin back then. The sting only lasted a few seconds, it cooled down very fast and in a few other seconds it became very very cooling and comforting instead. It was so nice, i almost didn't feel like taking it off *LOL*.

When i took it off, it dried off very fast and didn't leave a greasy trail behind (like most sheet masks do) and discovered a very surprising effect (other than the usual supple and moisturized feeling), it helped control my oily skin for up to a week! So this is probably a no no for people with dry skin.

Here's a description from Sasa.com :

Providence Beauty Cherry Brightening’s Sparkly Mask is enriched in Cherry extract, Flower Extract, Punicifolia (Acerola) Fruit Extract and Hyaluronic Acid to boost the youthfulness of your skin, letting it shine from the deepest layer.

Providence Beauty Cherry Brightening’s Sparkly Mask is a high-performance whitening treatment that effectively targets dark spots, freckles, and dullness to give an extraordinary radiance and beautifully even complexion.

About the whitening part, i don't really know. Most masks leaves my skin looking refreshed and brighter (so did this one) but it's not a permanent effect (well, i am already very fair so i'm not looking forward to be any whiter anyway!). You might notice more improvement if you wear it regularly, as well as the getting rid of spots parts.

It also claims to be suitable for all skin types, but in my own experience i'd say it's best suited for people with very oily skin like myself (i also read another review in Sasa.com that validates this, she said it's not suitable for her dry, sensitive skin).

It's a nice smelling (for those who likes Cherry Drops scents, of course), very affordable (i got it for USD 1 only!), brightening mask with a surprisingly good effect for oil control (it doesn't say anything about oil control in the description. But of course, the actual writing on the packaging is totally in Chinese so i have no idea what's written there!).

Recommending it for people with very oily skin looking for a fast remedy (that works for a period of time, in my case it was a little more than a week) to reduce the sebum on their skin, likes sweet scents and with limited budget.

Not recommending it for people with dry, sensitive skin and those who cannot stand strong, artificial fruit scents.

Will i repurchase this? Yes, why not? I will not purposefully order it by itself in Sasa.com (and it's OOS at the website right now anyway) but i will add it to my virtual cart if and when i shop there, or if i see it anywhere on my travel (if i am not attracted to other masks first. There are hundreds of attractive face mask packaging out there you know, especially those Hello Kitty ones *weak on cuteness*). It's not that amazing that i have to repurchase it right away, but it's nice enough for me to want to buy it again (especially because it's so cheap).

Would you put on a cherry drop smelling mask on your face?

Shop 'til You Drop Ver 2.0

bath and body cares

Hi y'all!

Okay, so... If i say "Oops i did it again" everytime i went on a shopping spree i guess Britney Spears would be hot again. Oops, did i just offend any Britney Spears fans out there? LOL, don't be. I like Britney, her old self at least. But i am not here to talk about Britney for sure (On a totally unrelated matter, have you heard that Brittany Murphy's death is now officially suspected as a murder by rat poisoning??? Cray cray world out there!) :p, it's time for another shopping spree sesh with ma galz!

If you read this entry just posted last month, me and ma gal fwiend G went out for a cray cray shopping spree and we enjoyed it so much we decided it's a must do activity that we'd love to do more regularly. It's not just the shopping spree (though it sure played a big role!) that we enjoyed so much, but also the chance to hang out with your best galz, gossip, catch up and bond. There's nothing more special than a girls time out!

Although we'd love to do it weekly (i heard #Undecided shrieked in horror somewhere just now), there are a lot of other things that we must do (you know, boring ones haha like supervising canopy builders in G's case :P, or less boring things like going to Bali for a vacay in mine!), so we only got to do it a month after the last one. It was so much more special because we were joined (unexpectedly) by #Undecided.

A selfie before going out is like an official rule, of corz. And no, i didn't put on that leopard top to bug #Undecided, i planned to wear it a few days before, it's not my fault that she decided to join at the very last minute! An outfit post will follow soon!

Errr, sorry to post your bare feet, ladies, i gotta show off my cute yellow trainers!

Dunno if you can tell from my face *i think i looked puffy and tired* that i wasn't feeling very well (another episode of flu that haven't gone away for weeks now *sigh*), my nose was blocked and runny simultaneously, it was disgusting.

Plus i was in a rotten mood because my hunny been super annoying (not like, disturb me all the time annoying, but more of that spacing out and unfocused annoying. Pretty much ignoring me for days, and i am such a Princess of corz it made me consider adopting a toy boy immediately. Don't mess with me) for the past few days (of course we made up already, tips? I ignored him for a few hours and went to have fun with my girls. Came crawling back to me acting all cute, of course. Don't take craps from your other half, ladies!).

He totally ruined my plan (including going to the Church again for the first time in many many months. Oops. I just couldn't stand not be near him when i'm super annoyed like that. Don't go on preaching on me now, i won't preach on you and i appreciate you to do the same) but at the same time, i got to have some super fun time with my galz *sigh*. I'm so going to hell.

Anyway! I did have plan to use that Ishine voucher s i got from VT and visit Elianto again (they are having lots of promotion for Christmas! Can't. Resist) but as usual, i ended up with so much more than i planned to. Typical.

You know, for someone who's a total creature of habit i kinda sucked at maintaining series. I keep on going off with my weekly haul posts while my hauls keeps on mountain-ing up. Haih. I actually am prepping another massive November haul already, but i'm so scared that #Undecided would really lose it this time and tie me to a pole or something, i figured it's better to post a haul post of stuffs that i got when i was with her. At least she already KNEW (and must i say, approve?) i got them so she couldn't be angry again. Right? RIGHT???

Okay lah, let's start with the beauty stuffs.

Ishine Trio Eyeshadow in Lilac Candy and Blush On in Bronze D'Or

Very tempted to use every single one of the vouchers (except for the 20% off eyeliner) but it won't be expired before 31st January anyway, so being a weirdo that i am, i decided to purchase their lipsticks (Buy 1 Get 1 what) and powder on January :P. I decided to get the better deals (IDR 50.000 off on blush on and eye shadow each) first :p. I know i said i'm gonna stock up for gifts, but well.. I ended up buying for myself. What's new?

May not look like much in the picture but in real life it's pretty gorgeous!!! Especially love the burgundy one in the middle. Definitely not the type of colors i really have in my collection yet

I actually planned to buy an eyeshadow palette for a gift since the friend i have in mind wear a lot of eyeshadow (but not blush on), but when i saw this shade and swatched it... I (thinking of any excuses) errr, got into the usual trance. I hope that particular friend (i don't think so anyway) reads this blog, but i might give the other Ishine eyeshadow that i got from VT in exchange since it contained much more natural (and more of the type that she wears) and wearable colors. I don't think burgundy eyeshadow's for everybody anyway. I'm still thinking though, i have attachment issues with my make ups *clearly*.

The shimmery blush on was BEAUTIFUL!

Again, it doesn't look like much on the picture *or even on the real life pan actually*, so i was happily surprised when i swatched them and see how beautiful they are once applied! I was never a big fan of shimmery blush on, but they are definitely growing on me. You can't tell from the picture *heck, i can't even tell by looking at the actual thing, #Undecided even went and said that it looked like an ordinary powder on the pan but she also agreed that they are very beautiful worn* but it has a very finely milled shimmer that's gonna make one's complexion glows! From all of their collection (and that's saying a lot because i love how pigmented and buttery their lipsticks are, also how pretty their eye shadows are once swatched-even though i wish they come up with more color selections, they only have four color choicest and on the pan i must say they look kinda "old" and boring) i gotta say their blush ons are my fave!

There were only two choicest for blush on color, sadly! One's a pretty soft pink color called Passion Pink (that should be my obvious choice, given my fondness of pink blushers. But i figured, i still have a few pale pink blush on in my stash so i surprised even myself by purchasing the only other color) and this Bronze D'Or. Dunno why they called it Bronze something, it's very soft and pale, i think it's too pale to be considered a bronzer (or maybe i'm just confusing a simple name with the function, wouldn't be my first). Just like the eye shadow, i hope they'll come out with more colors (at least they have a pretty extensive lipstick choices with 12 colors!).

This is one higher end local brand we should keep our eyes on! And do look out for promotions (like this voucher i used) because without them, they are quite pricey (especially for local products), eye shadows are IDR 135.000, blush ons IDR 120.000, lipsticks IDR 75.000, and if i remember correctly : powder foundie IDR 180.000 and eyeliner IDR 80.000.

Then of course, we went to Elianto (fast becoming my go to imported brand. Very affordable with high quality! Lemme tell you something, their nail polishes are one of the best nail polishes i've ever tried!).

Call me kiasu but i can never pass on promotional packages with cute extras like these!

So, i actually went to Elianto and purchased their sheet facial masks last week (with #Undecided) because i saw in their FB page that they're having a promotion : 5 masks for IDR 79.000, which is a total steal (actual price's around IDR 25.000/piece). Since i am a huge sheet masks fan, i just gotta get them! Then i also got attracted to their other packages (there are a LOT! Including make up sets. If you're interested to get them, hurry and grab them! Lots of great deal there! I'd probably buy every packages available if i let myself WTF), especially the shampoo+shower gel package (because i'm concerned about my hunny's prematurely thinning hair! I try to buy him higher ended shampoos because clearly drugstore shampoos doesn't do anything for his hair! And because shower gel's one my biggest weakness that i can actually justify coz we use them every day right!)

Shampoo+Shower Gel Package IDR 149.000

Chose the Scalp Care Shampoo because i think he needs scalp care more than moisturizing one (the other variant available), but no, he doesn't have dandruff *LOL*. It's pretty huge (400ml).

I sniffed the other variants and sadly i didn't find most of them to smell nice. The BA told me they focus more on the benefit than the smell, but what can i do, i love my shower gel to smell yummy! This one's the nicest smelling one lah, with Raspberry & Acai Berry (sorry for the blurry pic i didn't realize zzz, it's 250 ml).

Then since we spent more than IDR 300.000 in Centro (i also bought two tops that i will show you below), we got an IDR 30.000 voucher. And because i've been thinking of buying more sheet facial masks (you know, i use them every week, i keep on running low on them), i used them wisely of corz ahahahaha.

In the end paid IDR 49.000 for 5 sheet masks! That's IDR 9.800 each, cheap or what?

Next stuffs i want to show you are actually not exactly beauty stuffs, but it can be related to beauty.

Alcohol 70% so i can finally do the DIY brush cleanser that Phanie posted on her blog (that i've procrastinate doing for months already even though i already bought the other ingredient and even a bottle to place them months ago as well..) and Salep Sriti.

I know right, what a fugly name. Sriti. LOLOLOLOL. Sounds like some bird feed or something. And it costs only IDR 4000 (USD 0.35 haha), #Undecided swore by this cream (that is actually a Chinese cream so you can find it in most Chinese medicine shops) to speed the recovery of a wound. My legs recently got lots of wounds from extensive scratching *lots of moqsuitos in rainy season apparently zzzz* so i'm gonna give it a try. I might even do a review on this dirt cheap antiseptic cream :p.

Moving on now! I am trying really hard to reduce my clothes buying, and i really did (you don't believe me??? I only bought ONE dress in Bali and i very rarely order clothes online lately! Really lah, trust me) but then i blew it once we entered Magnolia. LOL. I mean, their stuffs are getting more and more ridiculously expensive (and they put them on sale soon afterwards WTF) and most of their designs didn't agree with me for the past few months, but their new arrival... OH!!! Lots of Emoda inspired (you know, the oh-so-sophisticated monochrome Mode style that, believe it or not, i really LOVE!). So, yep... I'm actually pretty proud that i managed to buy only two (cropped) tops (and that's mainly because a poncho-style top that all three of us liked only got one stock left and we let G-who spotted it first-get. If they have stocks we planned to do a triple twinsies...)

Checked Cropped Top IDR 139.000, Striped Cropped Top 129.000

Since our purchase combined surpassed a certain amount, we could purchase this funky necklace for only IDR 25.000! Of corz i didn't pass that chance

Then, like i said, more clothes at Centro *double sigh*. Both tops were from Chic Simple (one of my fave dept store clothing brand, if only they are not so crazily over priced. I mean, they sell the same stuffs as online shops and they charged more than twice the price. Nutz) on a 70% off.

Blueish Gray Baby Doll Top

Thin Baby Pink Cotton Top

Paid around IDR 170.000 for both tops, so it's IDR 85.000 each (well, when they are on a 70% off then they are cheaper than online shops haha).

I'm extremely happy with all of my purchases (i mostly shop when there are lots of good deals, and i am the kind that almost never have any regrets! I regret only when i jumped the gun, buy a new arrival that in a few months (or worse, weeks) got slashed to half price. That's my ultimate fear now hahaha)! Have you taken advantage in this sale season and bag yourself some good deals?

Now, i'm gonna go and obsess about hotels in Hong Kong for our upcoming holiday! We made a reservation with Disneyland Hotel online that turned out to be severely overpriced *cries*, i found the exact same hotel in Asiatravel.com for HKD 500 cheaper! And the Disneyland online also not very helpful, keep on asking us to fax forms etc (we're using my dad's credit card to book because i want to turn it into installment, you know... kiasu reasons) and no further info. I don't think they charged the credit card yet (they promised they won't charge it without confirmation and so far we got no confirmations yet), so fingers crossed we can cancel it ASAP and book via Asiatravel instead!

Wish me luck!!!

Birthday Gifts!

accessories

Happy Halloween everybody!!!

I wish i could tell you i'm celebrating Halloween somewhere, dressing up and partying away-but that's not really happening :P. We don't really celebrate Halloween in Indonesia, today's just like every other day (and filled by the worker union's unreasonable protests even) for us Indonesian-extremely boring and uninspired -____-. Even people in our neighboring countries like Singapore or Malaysia have more fun stuffs to do on Halloween (like the Halloween Horror Night in Universal Studio Singapore, etc-i'm not saying that they all celebrate it ya, it's just that they CAN if they want to, at least they have the options!) PFFFFFTTTT. Maybe i should fly out to Singapore for a few days next year, i just want to feel a Halloween-y atmosphere for once! Yeah, i would do that *promise self*. Haha.

Well, since there's really nothing Halloween related to do here in Surabaya (i guess there are some "Halloween parties" happening in some clubs tonight, i'm too old to club though-i find it hard to be interested to club nowadays. Gawd, i'm so old... I'm sure 30 year olds in USA or Europe still parties hard!), there's nothing Halloween-y i can write about either haha. And because not only it is Halloween but also the end of October (i know keep on saying this, but 2013 feels like it's passing at a blink of an eye-and a lot of people are feeling the same!) which means my birth month's almost over, it's about time i show you my birthday spoils!

I know my birthday's almost a month ago haha, but for one reason or another i can only blog about the pressies today... Here's a photo of some of the pressies (i also got another one just arrived earlier today so it wasn't in the collective picture that i took a few days ago) :

Wah, they even come in matchy matchy colors, LOVE!

First one's not exactly a birthday gift. My parents went to Jakarta last month and my mum told me she couldn't find any nice clothes to buy for me-so i told her not to bother and just buy me a perfume instead hahaha. Since my mum refused to buy me an over IDR 550.000 perfume *sniff* as a souvenir, she gave me cash to pay half of the price and told me to ~~rob~~ make hunny pay for the rest, so i (obvi) did hahaha (but then she gave me hong bao for my birthday so in the end she paid for the whole thing herself lah hahaha)-i told my hunny it'd be part of my birthday gifts from him (he also bought me a Blackberry Q5 already :P), that means this is a birthday gift rightttt....

Purr by Katy Perry

I think i've never mentioned this, but Katy Perry's one of my favorite female singer. I love her songs and style. When i realized she has a perfume line, i've been hunting for (one of) it but i was too cheap to actually buy one (i never buy expensive perfumes myself. I usually made my mum buy me some as a souvenir whenever she went to Singapore without me :p), but it's always been in my wishlist. I've never even sniffed it before so i was actually just attracted to the bottle and to the fact that it's Katy Perry's *LOL*. So happy when i saw it in Matahari (of all places! Not available in Sogo or Centro FYI) and sniffed it-then i gotta have it!

Even the box's design was so cute!

Ta-dahhh

When my mum saw this, she (who understands her kawaii-obsessed daughter) asked me whether i really wanted the perfume or just the bottle??? I'd say both! I actually love the fragrance too okay, it's very me!

Bling Bling Kitty

I love the detailed design, they didn't forget the kitty's tail!

Second pressie was still half from hunny *LOL*. He pitched in with my BFFs to buy me this next pressie. For the past few years i've been picking my own birthday gifts (as well as the rest of the girls, at least whenever there's something they already have in minds) from my BFFs (including this gold Hello Kitty necklace for by 29th birthday last year). We've been BFFs since we're 14, we have no more secrets of whatever lah, and we already established the amount of money we need to fork out every year for birthday pressies-so whenever we wanted something expensive, our hubbies will pay for the rest of the amount. Great solution, yes? This way, we always get whatever we really wanted and the others were spared of unnecessary headaches hahaha.

Honestly when #Undecided asked me what i wanted for my birthday, i had no answer. This year i seriously have nothing in mind *LOL*, but i knew i wanted something special (because it's a special birthday alright...) that i can keep forever as a memento. I've always wanted something from Tiffany and Co, but we have to Tiffany and Co around-so i settled for something else : genuine Swarovski jewellry.

And i picked this beautiful turquoise ring!

They also came in rose but it was very pale against my (pale) skin, and for once i wasn't attracted to the pink one!

I LOVE it!

Then, there's a pressie from LL too :D... LL always gave us birthday pressies that we can use together (since it's mine and hunny's birthdays. Oh, BFFs and i pitched in to buy a pressie for hunny too obviously. But as a regular gadget freak, he asked for something super uninteresting. I don't even know what that is, a converter or something2-so he can connect his tablet/phone to the TV. Geez. I told him to pick something he can keep forever since it's a special number for his too, like a watch or whatever, but of course he didn't listen to me!)-because she's thoughtful like that :).

A huge The Body Shop hamper!

You know i love love love TBS but too cheap to shop from them in non-huge sale season, so i'm always happy to receive TBS products! Hunny's fussy skin also cannot tolerate a lot of brands, but TBS' definitely does his skin good-so these stuffs will definitely be used by both of us, very happily! I have no idea what's inside the hamper, since i do not need to use any new bath and body cares just yet-i have no intention of ripping the plastic yet!

I also already told you i received a very surprise gift from Shasha (OMG, i still dunno why i'm so lucky to get to know such a nice person!), which she claimed to be a "simple gift", but it's actually a pretty fantastic gift! I don't think there's anyone who'd be anything but ecstatic to receive a box filled with goodies like this! Thank you again, Shasha!

I seriously feel like i'm doing a (fantastic) unboxing of a beauty box right now!

Vivelle Virgin Coconut Oil & Olive with Bengkuang Body Scrub. I am actually quite a fan of Vivelle's body lotion (i have a review of the lotion in my draft, it will be posted sometime soon), so happy to get to try out their body scrub (for free hahaha)

Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Butter-i never tried any body butter (or body lotion) from BBW yet, so imagine my excitement when i saw this huge tub in the middle of the box!

Two super cute heart shaped Sasatinnie's nail polishes

PINK samples *hyperventilating*, i mean... look at them!!!! Aren't they oh so so so pretty together??? I dunno if i'd have the heart to rip them open!

Sheet masks! AAAA! You know i'm a devout sheet facial mask's fan now! This is more than one month's stock for me hehehe

Nature Republic Snail Therapy Mask Sheet


Tony Moly Nutra-Energy Mask Sheet. I have the sudden urge to pull an #Undecided now! I have some questions : 1. Who are those guys?; 2. Why are they wearing (so much) make up?; 3. When i'm done using it, would my niece dig the package out of the trash if she got a glimpse of those guys? LOLOLOL....

FoodAHolic Green Gram Natural Essence Mask

The Saem mask. I know this one! That's G-Dragon right! (saying it so confidently i'd be really embarrassed if i'm wrong -___-)

Purple gem-stones, i'm thinking of bedazzling my compact powder's case soon!

And accessories!

I think this is a statement necklace, i tried using it like an arm candy, and i loved it!

Red statement ring

And of course, the necklace watch i've already worn on my birthday celebration!

Sorry for the detailed pictures, it's too pretty not to do so!

Super amazing box right??? By the way, i dunno if you know yet, but Shasha actually has her own online shop called My Cute Shop! One thing that caught my eyes' that she has a lot of stocks of (very very low priced compared to other online shops) Korean facial sheet masks (i'm so gonna order a lot from her once i make a dent on my current collection)! This is obviously not an advertisement *LOL*, but i just thought i should mention it! All of her stuffs are ready stocks, so no need to wait for a PO!

Next's a gift from my cousin L!

Super cute Marie Claire flat shoes with a matching... i think that's usamimi headband haha

Is this a retro or a tribal pattern? I think definitely retro!

With a gorgeous neon pink and purple combination!

The shoes' super cute and the color to die for, please! It totally screamed my name, no? Haha... I guess my cousin really knows my taste well, ya?

The next pressie i just got earlier today haha. Remember i told you about my forgetful friend O? Hahaha, apparently she remembered my pressie faster than 3 months :p. This one's from O and MM :).

More TBS stuffs!

TBS' White Musk Body Wash and EDP

White musk' one of my all-time-favorite fragrance (i know a lot of people can relate!) so i am obviously ecstatic for getting this!

The last items' another not-really-a-birthday-pressie-but-i'd-like-to-treat-it-like-one hahaha. Remember i won that Elianto GiveAway? For someone who very very rarely joined any GiveAway (and win even less, more like almost never haha), i am a little bit too happy than i really should *LOL* (yes yes, i know i am a cheapo. Anything free, i'd be super happy and giddy like i just won a lottery hahaha. Well, i am-sort of).

Elianto Green Tea & Chamomile Foam Cleanser

Elianto Nutri Remedy Nourishing Hand Cream

Phewww, that's a LOT of stuffs, right?? Thank you everybody! I love every single one of them!

Can we talk a little bit more about Halloween? Not really about Halloween but something related to scary stuffs hahaha (you do know that Halloween's actually more than just dressing up in characters and trick or treating right? There's a much darker side to it-that's been played down a lot for the sake of little kiddies) . If you follow my Twitter (@MGirl83) you'd know i made a little confession a few days ago that there's a gloomy goth deep inside my cheery-pastel exterior :p. I am very very interested in everything scary and ehm.. death related. Errrr, i hope nobody's scared of me now! I am definitely not a necrophillia (EW!!!), but i gotta admit-i definitely have a morbid fascination of scary stuffs. I am forever curious of what happens before, during and after death (of course, i am a Christian and i believe in heaven and hell, but that's not what i'm talking about, i'm talking about the process) and i can browse for this subject for hours (and then i spook myself so bad that i couldn't sleep -___-).

I find this kind of stuffs to be more satisfying-and therefore a lot scarier-than your usual ghost stories/movies, that's why even though one of my favorite horror movie's The Conjuring, i was even more fascinated by the storyline of The Haunting in Connecticut (this movie was one of the first introduction to the word "Memento Mori" and Victorian post-mortem photography-which i find to be very sad, beautiful but disturbingly fascinating). Well, i can write a whole entry (or more) about this subject, which i might do in the future (and risking my readers to run FTL away ahahahaha)-but i thought it'd be pretty interesting to touch a little bit of it today-since it's Halloween and all!

I definitely not going to put up photos of dead people in my personal blog (except for dead Popes) since i'm superstitious and all (my mum is a polar opposite of me-she's allergic to anything even remotely related with this taboo subject, and she won't even let the obituary page from the newspaper to stay inside her room, she'll bring it outside every night hahaha), so i most definitely won't be posting any morbid videos as well, don't worry! If you survived reading these three darker than ever last paragraphs, here's a reward for you : a super CUTE video of an emotional little baby! The CUTEST baby everrrrrr!

Other than that video, i am also currently obsessed with videos of super cute baby sloths! OMG! I'm drowning in cuteness! And with that i am ending this entry. Have a happy Halloween, hope you're having more fun that i am!
