Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Today's EOTD.

Light green, medium green then dark green. Mixed a little bit of black eyeshadow at the outer V of my eye and bam! There you go.

The eyeshades I can't tell you what or which company because I have no idea. My younger sister got me my first palette years ago for Christmas and I still use it to this day. She purchased it on eBay and we have no idea what company it is...

Inner part of my eye I used Urban Decay's Naked in 'Sin'. Eyeliner I used Mac Fluidline in Blacktrack then over that I put on my awesome Milani Liquify 24hr liquid eyeliner. Doesn't smudge! Mascara I used Maybelline's The Colossal volume mascara. False lashes are from eBay (really cheap).

Very simple St Patty's Day make-up! Don't you agree? What are you wearing for St Patt's? Or are you going out at all?

Proximo Neutered!


This morning at exactly 9AM I went to go pick up Proximo from the 204 Animal Hospital! He was neutered yesterday afternoon and was held there overnight. He's pretty moody right now, I'm letting the poor baby rest. He absolutely hates his cone of shame. :(

I took him in Tuesday morning around 7:45AM. He didn't eat or drink water the night before so he was thuper grumpy. He was howling like an un-trained husky and then he growled at one of the employee's while she was trying to take off his leash & collar. Honestly, Proximo was trained hard since the first day he came home with us (7 weeks old). He's a good dog, he just gets moody and grouchy when he's not fed or drank water for over 12 hours :/ The employee lady told me that we should have Proximo special obedience training and gave me a flyer. I got in my car and texted my hubby about this. Hubby doesn't believe Proximo needs training. We've attended PetSmart puppy training classes plus my hubby's been a dog owner since he was young. It's just that one time. One time he was in a bad mood because mommy & daddy didn't feed him or gave him any water for surgery. No big deal.


I paid over $340 dollars for dew claw (1 of the claws were hanging loosely so that needed to be removed), surgery, neuter inguinal... They also cleaned his ears & trimmed his nails. Unfortunately, when he stayed over-night they didn't cone him. Which didn't make sense to me because now his stuff is bruised and nasty looking for licking himself. Plus he has a bandaged leg from the dewclaw so... Why didn't they just cone him? *sigh* Proximo hates his cone.


When I was walking him back to my car I couldn't stop laughing. I feel so bad. He would hang his head low because of how he feels (sad, ashamed, pain, who knows) and the cone would drag on the ground then would get stuck! Poor little man! An oversized lamp around his neck is just so sad but so funny at the same time. Once we got home he ate all his food (Science Diet) and drank 2 full bowls of water. WOW! He's fine, no worries. He's gotten used to the cone so now he walks around with his head up high. We took a walk around the neighborhood (I followed where ever he went) and he was happy. Put his mood back to happy mode. I'm sure he'll feel much better tomorrow or the following day. :) I love my baby boy!

Oh, the reason why we neutered him is because we signed a contract with the breeder who sold us Proximo. She is an AKC breeder up in Grayson, GA for 11 years? We were supposed to neuter him by 7 months. Clearly he's not 7 months now, he's almost 10 months. We waited for his other ball to drop as long as we could, just because it would cost us so much more. We waited far long enough and just went on ahead. There's already so many dogs in this world, I wouldn't want to add any more.

One day I would love to rescue a dog. But for now, with the constant moving... 1 is enough.

Best Friends Animal Society - DogTown

(I've currently been watching this show and are on Season 3. I have so much respect for this place! It's apparently a very well known Dog Shelter but I never heard of it until now. I love each and every dog story and I cry most of the episodes.)

My Birthday Month!

I'm not sure what I'm really excited about this month. St Patty's is this weekend and then my birthday the next week. I guess what I'm really excited is SHOPPING! :D I've been trying to be a good house wife by not spending so much of my hubby's hard earned money (Army salary is much expensive than just regular earned money, in my opinion). Still, I am a girl and I do have wants/needs. I tend to want things that are "hip" like the Revlon Lipbutters, that I adore. Or some hair styling products for my long-ass hair (that's a need, lol).

Anyway, I got to use my Sephora gift card today! I saved it from Christmas just so I can spoil myself for my birthday. Makes me feel special. Haha! So here are some goodies that I'd like to share with you.


100 points I chose this Ole Henriksen sample! Saw reviews that it's supposed to aluminize your skin :) I can't wait to use this product! Anything to make my skin look young, flawless and glowy for summer.
For Sephora's Weekly Special I picked this Shiseido Benefiance (fo freee!) And it's coming in a deluxe sample.
I've always wanted an atomizer just because I do tend to travel back to Ohio time to time or to ATL and I've always hated carrying around my glass bottle of perfume. This only costed $3. I needed it to qualify for the free shipping!

Now look at this heavenly gift by Sephora. This is NARS Limited Edition set featuring 5 make-up products for $49! I have always wanted the blush/bronzer duo in Orgasm & Laguna! WAHOO! I've waited so long to get this duo and what's awesome is that it'll come with 4 other make-up products. I like NARS, my first NARS purchase was Turkish Delight lipgloss. Still have it, too! Then I purchased Laguna bronzer. The reason why I haven't purchased a whole lot of NARS products is because they are pretty expensive! So I always try to set myself up for a bargain. Tee-hee.

I also got 3 free samples and the Birthday Gift FRESH SUGAR KISSES MINI LIP Duo by Sephora. Looking forward to that! The last time I picked up any birthday gift by Sephora it was some kind of lip gloss, disappointing quality. It was by Sephora also. No offense.

My Favorite Bathroom Products

I am in loooove with these two products. Missha is a make-up remover and the green bottle is hair essence. LOVE. The Missha's make-up remover is similar to LancĂ´me's make-up remover but much affordable (on Missha website it is about $5 or $6 bucks)! The effectiveness is instant and fast. Gets me into the shower faster than my make-up remover wipes. I've always been annoyed at how long it took for me to take off all of my make-up! Now I am absolutely satisfied with Missha's make-up remover. Just use a cotton pad with a little bit of product, press gently onto your eye for 3 seconds and swipe off! Make-up all gone! Amazing!

The green bottle (Giesel) essence bottle is phenomenal stuff. My mom gave me this bottle because of how badly I needed it for my long hair (it's almost down to my hips). When your hair grows long, it tends to get knotted on the inside of your hair (behind your neck). Because of this wonderful hair essence that my mom got from Korea, my hair's been super soft and manageable! I know I need to order more back-ups of this stuff! Currently my 'HG' (holy grail) products!!!! *happy dance*

Dinner Date With Hubby

Have I mentioned how much of a food lover I am? I love food. I'm not entirely picky at all. Last night my husband and I ate out at Houlihan's Restaurant & Bar. The restaurant is really nice. Inside the restaurant it's dim and romantic. It's basically a step up from Ruby Tuesdays or TGIF/Apple Bee's. I took some picture on my iPhone 4. Sorry if some are blurry. The quality isn't that great because I took the pictures quickly. I'm pretty impatient when it comes to food.


My husband's Fish Taco's


Squirting some lime on those Fish Tacos.


My Pot Roast (apparently their most popular dish)


Appetizer was Spinach Dip


I couldn't finish half of this Pot Roast. *stuffed*


For dessert we decided to try McDonald's Shamrock Shake.

The Shamrock shake was alright. I don't have a huge sweet tooth and this shake was too much for me. We ordered small's and I couldn't finish half either. I wouldn't order this again, I'd stick with the original cone or a small McFlurry.

So here are some random food facts about me:

1 food that I could eat everyday for the rest of my life- Gom Gook (Korean Oxtail Soup)
Food that I can never deny- Shrimp Cocktail, Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Rolls, Lindt Truffles, Sushi, Sul lung tang (Korean Beef Bone Soup), Pho, Dduk Gook (Korean Rice Cake Soup)
Food that I strongly dislike- Beets, food that have too much vegetables with no flavor, and this one vegetable that my mom like to put in her stews... Forgot the name.
My hubby's favorite dish on special occasion- Vietnamese Thit Heo Kho (Caramelized Braised Pork & Egg)
My favorite dish on special occasion- Dduk Gook (Korean Rice Cake Soup), Meeyuk Gook (Korean Seaweed Soup), Ice Cream Cake from Dairy Queen :P
What is your top pick to eat in Savannah, Georgia- Sting Rays on Tybee Island, order the platter full of seafood for only around $20 bucks
What is your top pick to eat in Columbus, Ohio- Depends on what you crave & budget wise

My 1st Week with Blogger

This past week in the South was hot and kinda humid. Mostly around 81 or 82 degrees with sun shining. I would sit on my couch sweating while my Husky whined from the heat (poor baby). Yesterday, the North East had this horrible tornado storm that hit all the way down to the tips of Florida. Luckily, my area was safe with no damages. I feel so sorry for the people who lost their loved ones this past weekend. A mother's 4 year old child was ripped out of her arms and the child died along with the grandparents. I can not imagine what that mother is going through. With the amount of people's lives that were lost, may you Rest In Peace. I pray for the ones who are alive find some comfort through God and prayer... I am so sorry for your loss.

Today I went to church with my hubby and girl friend, beckywheee. Service was good and afterwards my girl and I went job hunting. The economy is absolutely terrible and the location that I live in is mostly touristy. Hardly any jobs available AND this state has the lowest minimum wage... So here it is, I live in:


Can you believe this? Back in my hometown the average is $7.70! Bleh. Wish me luck!

I've been out of work for over a year now. People tell me that they're jealous. I've basically been on a very long vacation. Currently, everything is being figured out and situated. I plan to go back to school! I look forward to my education and hopefully earning a nice living. I honestly don't want to rely 100% on my husband. It's nice to be taken cared of but I would also like to spoil my husband time to time. He's been super sweet letting me have what I need/want. I always feel guilty when I ask for things. There are times where I'd stay home for weeks just so I wouldn't spend any of his money. I just feel bad. Even when I was growing up I hardly ever asked my parents for money, I just felt bad! Regardless that my hubby is my hubby who's supposed to support me no matter what, I'd also like to return the favor~ besides feeding him, cleaning, laundry, blah blah!

My birthday is in 16 days. I don't know what to expect. I just hope for happiness. I had great birthdays while I was home in Ohio. I will forever cherish those memories. I'm married now and I live 11 hours away from home. It's time for me to relax, be happy and enjoy my birthday like any typical day... Except I hope I get ice cream cake! Yum...

How was your weekend?

ELF falsies & Revlon's Lipbutter

Sigma Wish List!


I have never owned any Sigma brushes but for a very long time these brushes have been all the rave on YouTube. Just about every one of my favorite YouTube make-up guru's use Sigma brushes (except for Bubzbeauty, I believe) and the way that the guru's apply their make-up... It always looks flawless. The prices are average but I really, really want face brushes. I've been using mostly drugstore brushes and they're not the best quality. A lot of the bristles come off and I've owned them for a couple years. Sigma brushes would be the best next step for me and I'd probably keep them for years (I trust their quality due to YouTube). Don't they look super nice?! I plan on getting the biggest purchase first, which would be the travel kit. Then the next few months I'd probably slowly order the Synthetic Duo then lastly the Flat Top. I LOVEEEE flat top brushes. They can be used for anything, almost. I've always wanted to collect brushes just because I love applying make-up daily. Using the best quality brushes make such a difference when applying make-up! *drool* Some day... I will own these! My birthday is this month, so hopefully I'll own one of these soon.


I also would love to own this Beauty Blender for my foundation routine. I just recently watched Marianna Hewitt's "Flawless Foundation" YouTube video and it looked flawlessssss! My best friend showed me this a long time ago, when they first came out with this product. I completely forgot about it -__-; My bad. For my foundation I use Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Medium Beige 3 during the hot days (because I have oily-combinatioin skin) and during the winter I use Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse Ultra-Hydrating in 255 Natural Buff. Using the Beauty Blender on these foundations would be fantastic! Normally I use the ELF's Studio Powder Brush (flat top) which I loooooove! It's only $3! Using ELF's brush applies smooth application with foundation and blush. I need to buy a back-up of ELF's brush because I've had mine for over a year and the handle is becoming wobbly. I'm going to have to super-glue that! Hahahaha, seriously nothing beats $3 make-up brushes. *sigh*

Coastal Scents 29% off until 5PM today!




Here I am sharing my small purchases from Coastal Scents! I've been eye-ing the contouring palette and in need of brushes! I always hear good reviews on YouTube about Coastal Scents palettes. I can't wait for these babies to arrive! And they're SO cheap! Next to this cheap would be ELF cosmetics. Hehehe!

In anime (personal) news I just recently finished watching Hell Girl and now I'm finishing up Rosario + Vampire Season 2! In Hell Girl there were some episodes (probably most episodes) I was getting pretty annoyed because of how 'weak' the characters were. One of my pet peeves is people with no back bone! That's just me, personally. Anyway, Hell Girl was okay overall. Right now, Rosario + Vampire is a funny anime with some nudity. I've been cracking up by myself in front of my TV -_____-; I am such a wangta (loner). I just recently found Linda Le's Instagram (very popular cosplay model) "Vampybitme" I am super jealous that she gets to dress up in all these cosplay costumes! She's been attending ComicCon for about 10 years?! And she met Stan Lee! How cool. I know this sounds super geeky but I do have an inner geek in me *heh heh* If you're interested in seeing her photo's, check out her website: www.vampybit.me

In personal life news, my husband is out until tomorrow evening for CAV Spur Ride. They do the spouse Spur Ride but from the details that I read it didn't sound appealing. I have a friend who is in Washington just recently attended the spouse spur ride. She told me she had so much fun, got her own little spur's and told me what she did. NOT as good as the ones that we were supposed to do here so I'm skipping out. I know I should give other Army wives a chance and become friends with them but we just don't click. Most of them have toddlers and are pregnant or they're much older than I. Can't seem to find anything in common with them. I'm hoping the next place we PCS to (move) I'll find army wives to become friends with. I think I'll have a better chance at the new location than I will here. I only have maybe 2 official army wife friends who I keep in touch with time to time. Anyway, I'm sure God has plans for me to meet great friends in the future.

Lately I haven't been posting Eye Of The Day on Instagram because about 1 week ago I fell off my bicycle while exercising Proximo (my Siberian Husky). He was doing so well but I guess it was my fault for only having him on my left side. He tried to move from left to right which made me fall. HARD. On my left side. Ouch. My face, shoulder, hands and left knee was pretty bloody/bruised/scraped. FML right? I wasn't mad at my dog, he didn't know I'm sure. I got up immediately while a lady at the playground asked me if I was okay. Do you know how embarrassing that is? What if someone was watching from a window (I know, how stalker) and saw me fall? They were probably laughing their balls off. Seriously. I got right up, put my bike away and walked back home in pain. My knee was all bloody and I had to shower immediately. I haven't been injured like this in so long. It's pretty pathetic. Hahaha, I bandaged myself up and took some pain killers. You know what sucked even more? The next day my little sister and her boyfriend came down from Atlanta to chill. My little sister was laughing and making fun of my pain -___-; What are sisters for, right?

I will definitely post more stuff later. I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning!
