China Glaze Naked

Naked - China Glaze

I wore this polish last week and I didn't like it. In fact I couldn't wait to take it off and use a different color.  The color itself is beautiful in the bottle, but I felt it was too much like Barbie's lipstick pink for my taste and that it didn't compliment my skin tone very well, but that's just my take on it.  I think it looks better on toes, and the sparkles/reflects in it are dazzling :) That I can't complain about.  The polish goes on strong and 2 coats will give you the true color, it dries fast, and doesn't chip for days.

Dresses from Burlington's

We went to Burlington's this Friday and I picked up two dresses.  I love wearing dresses now that I'm towards the end of my pregnancy because they make me feel really comfortable and they are the only thing that I feel really showcase my pregnancy and my baby bump. 

I've always wanted a white dress so I can wear my turquoise necklace with and this dress was perfect.  I got an amazing deal on it too! It was only $16.99 compared to $32 at original price. 

I love that this dress is very versatile, you can dress it up or down.  I only wore the red heels for the sake of the picture, but I love that I can wear this dress this way after I give birth too. I ended up wearing red flats instead because hardly any of my heels actually fit the way they should.  My feel swell up so bad they look like toads sometimes! I have to admit I dont like the look as much with flats as I do with heels, but its what was most comfy and that's pretty much more important at this point in my pregnancy :)

The 2nd dress was not so cheap, but still a good bargain compared to the original price.  I think it's probably the most expensive item I've bought upto date for my wardrobe.  It's a Calvin Klein Maxi dress that originally retailed at $129.99 and I got it for $49.99, so I saved more than 50%. and that made it worth it, plus it's SUPER super comfy!  It kept me cool all Sunday when the heat was blazing hot and I just want to be in it all the time.

I dressed it up with a vest and removed the rope tie it came with.  I paired it with some black thong sandals and a long gun metal chain necklace and watch for added accessories.  We went to Dave & Busters on Sunday and it was HOT! Lucky for me I was kept cool in this dress and I was one happy comfy camper throughout the day.



34 1/2 Weeks & Family BBQ



34 1/2 Weeks, carrying my nephew Sai Sai

 I'm 2 days shy of 35 weeks, and my baby is starting to drop.  I'm constantly running to the bathroom to empty my bladder! Sometimes I pee my pants cuz I don't make it on time or because a tinkle a little right before I sit on the toilet lol.

Went to LA this weekend to take my mom, niece, and nephew to my brothers house whom is taking them to Ensenada, Baja Mexico on Sunday to visit their parents for Summer vacation.  My mom is flying out to Michuoacan MX, on Wednesday to visit my grandparents and hopefully will be back before I go into labor.  She's due back around the 4th of July, but won't be back at our house till the 9th or so.  I'm nervous and scared she wont make it back for my delivery and it means so much for me that she is there.

Anyway, it was extremely hot on Friday and Saturday in LA! We went swimming at the pool in my brothers neighborhood complex, it was so refreshing and fun! The kids had a great time and it was almost near impossible getting them to get out so we can head home, shower and prepare for the Pacquiao/Bradley fight.

My brother invited some friends over and we all had a wonderful time BBQ'n, chit chatting, and enjoying the family's company.  The fight however, was quite a shock! Like any who watched, we all can agree Pacquiao clearly won but the decision was in Bradley's favor...I'd be ashamed of winning a fight like that but oh well...Pacquiao is still the champ in my eyes and in my heart and that's all that matters.

Sunday @ the Flea Market

I swear this dress makes me look super preggo and somewhat unflattering but whatevs :) It was a really hot day and we went to the flea market for a good walk and to much on fruit at the farmers market.  I swear the Farmers Market at the flea market has the best tasting oragnes I've ever had. I can eat 3-4 in one sitting and then some! 

 Mom was looking for an Apron but when they told her this blue one there above cost $15 bucks, she was like "a la chingada, mejor compro tela y los hago yo!" haha in other words..."psh, hell no I rather make my own!" and we did just that. We bought 2 yards of fabric for $3 bucks and have plenty for 2 aprons! How you like them apples! lol.

 Since I got pregnant, I dont crave ice cream the way I did before I was preggo.  I was eating ice cream left and right every other day and sometimes twice a day.  It's rare I eat ice cream nowadays but I saw this man eating this hug ass cone of ice cream and got the sudden urge to have one myself.  While waiting in line I couldn't decide wheather I wanted vanilla or strawberry, so I opted for a scoop of each! lol It was delish!

 And I wouldn't be me, had I not shared with my mommy of course! She only wanted a taste and my niece was eyeballing my ice cream but she said "no thanks" so I'm like "Psh, More for me!" But in reality, I ended up eating only the vanilla scoop and mom had the strawberry one since I couldn't finish it, I bet if I wasn't preggo I would've gobbled that sucker up in a heartbeat! lol


My lovely nice Maritza



Madre Querida



And here is my lovely mother Eva! I love her so much!! She looks quite mad and seriuos here but she's not either. She's the best thing that happened to me, or should I say I'm the best thing that happened to her? lol J/k <3 My baby is named after her, Eva :) 

I was beat by the end of the day and as soon as we got home I instantly crashed out in bed for a few hours, the day was hot and it wore me out completely.  My family was laughing at me on the way back home because I was falling asleep and apprently my head was bobbing and that was quite funny for them lol. I can't admit I havn't laughed myself when this happens to someone I know. It's funny to see them try to act like nothing happened trying to hold yoru head still while you fall asleep when all of a suddent he weight of yoru head beats you lol.

Anyway, till next time!

Diaper Covers!

Made my baby this diaper cover using a pattern by Danamadeit.  I plan on making more of these as I make her other clothes and just so she has maching chonies to wear with her dresses. I would much rather her show off these cute diaper covers than the actual diaper regardless of any "cute" prints they now come with. These are extremely cute and super inexpensive to make and with the pattern, I can make these for months on end as she grows into a toddler.

Made this one in particular to match the itty bitty baby dress I made her a few weeks ago. And these were the first thing I made using my new overlock machine which I LOVE! gives my projects a super nice clean finish that looks professional and keeps my projects from fraying.

BTW, cost me less than $99 cents to make these babies...again...I used a precut fat quarter from Walmart, and I still have bit of fabric left for making a bow or using as an applique on another project. If I've learned anything from sewing, it's to save any scraps of fabric because you don't know when they'll come in handy.

Till next time!
