Are u a Kikay at ♥?

Let's say you are going to a party. Or the mall. Or a quick errand to the grocery store. We, females, have our very own "forget-me-not" stuff that will always be present in our handbags. In our case, we call it our "kikay kit". "Kikay" is a Filipino gal's term which means "vain". Why the stuff? Simple. Men have their emergencies, and so do we! *wink*

Here's a peek of what's inside my kikay kit:

1. Mobile phone     ~  Gotta have it in case of emergencies,  and for checking Facebook while waiting for appointments, etc.

2. Keys              ~ We all bring our house & car keys right?

3. Hand sanitizer    ~  Germs are everywhere. Spread love, not virus okay?

4. Handy mirror     ~  In my case, I really need it. It's all funny games till I flash that smile with green leafy stuff stuck between my braces.

5. Mints                 ~ Making sure nobody knows I had some garlic in my lunch.

6. Cheek tint         ~  It's nice to have a little hint of color on those pale cheeks.

7. Concealer         ~  I don't normally use it but hey, it helps cover those eyebags and nasty blemishes.

8. Lip balm           ~  Always handy specially during cold weather. No to cracked lips!

9. Lipstick            ~  I like having it on my purse. You never know when you're gonna need it.

10. Handkerchief     ~  It's always nice to have something to use in case we sneeze.

11. Power snack  ~  It helps me get through my low blood sugar problem.

Let's face it. We all have the right to be vain. And don't forget - Vanity is also a form of art. 

How about you? What's in your kikay kit? 

i ♥ MYSELF

"Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all." - Whitney Houston

     Each of us has our very own purpose why we're here. And what is that purpose? Some are for the best, others they don't even know yet. But being a part of this whole universe, we know there is always a thing we all should never forget - to love thy self. It may be considered blasphemous if we don't have the so-called "self respect" which is one important thing for us to be accepted by others. Maybe in times we don't realize we overdo in some aspects that's very keen to the observer's eye which is our "physical" attribute. 

     I must admit, I've been a victim of this unconquerable disease in a woman's life - makeover (don't we all do?). Women nowadays go through a series of processes that even men don't understand why. "Why go over and over again? You look great, that's enough." But for us, it's never enough. We are never content. We still want more. The fact that cosmetics play a huge role in our lives makes us think, are we under some kind of a spell? Or is it just the mere reality that women are from Venus? Let's just say we are Venus, and she is the goddess of love and beauty. We have to stand by what she's symbolizing - beauty. Not only on the outside, but inside. Inner beauty is what makes us even more beautiful - doesn't matter how gorgeous and appealing you are but if you don't possess inner beauty, then physically you're never attractive at all. It's okay to make yourself presentable but there's more that meets the eye. It's what's in your ♥.

     For the record, I've always believed that LESS IS MORE :)
