Learning and Having Fun

Make up Artist at work

Make up Artist at work

Last week was a busy learning week for me. I attended my first creative makeup workshop. The makeup artist  showed the audience how to create a simple yet interesting look for  Halloween.

Doesn’t she look really cool with the face art ?  The design was drawn on with eyeliner and eye shadow only. Impressive isn’t it?

This look is certainly doable and I’m sure that I’ll be able to recreate it with sufficient practice.

What is having a learning experience without good food to go along?

Fellow Mary Kay Beauty Consultant J and I had a quick meal at Sushi Tei before our class . It was great to be tucking into a plate of fried udon as it has been ages since I had that dish.

Both of us learned quite a bit that evening like how we can prep the skin properly before putting on such makeup and which colors complemented each other.

Besides learning how to do creative makeup we were also shown how to braid and do up your hair for the evening. I tried out the side braid the next day to see how I look at it. I wanted to create the medium wavy curls using the curling iron I had at home  but failed in my attempt. I guess I need more practice using the  the curling iron if I am to create wavy hair at home.

Have you learnt anything last week?

Yummy Foods and Ice- Cream Treats

Kids and Ice-cream. That  was what they  they were having lots of last week. I brought them out for 1-to-1 ice cream dates. It has been quite a while since I went on a mom- daughter/ Mom-son date with my kids.

Most of the time I bring the kids out together and it isn’t that easy to get to bond with them with their siblings around.  They were glad with their solo dates with me and I had fun visiting 3 different ice-cream places with them.

Ice-cream is certainly not cheap these days especially when the kids request for gourmet or freshly made ice-cream.

The sweet treats set me back by almost $100 in total as they requested for meals /presents too during their dates.

This is one of their favourite “snack foods” or breakfast when we are out.

Doggie boy requested for  Japanese food when we were out and promptly ordered this set meal- pork with rice.

The boys can really eat as they are eating adult portions now as compared to a few years back. This certainly makes eating out more expensive with them.

Did you kids have any treats from you lately?
