Happy Big Day to yours truly!
The time has arrived: I’m defending my dissertation this afternoon after my anticipated blessing from Bishop Mike .
While it’s still surreal until I actually achieve this vision , I’ve planned everything in advance down to the details of my appearance …
After all: fail to plan, plan to fail ~ to no avail!
That way, my smile will glow, and the coffee stains won’t show ! =D

Double D is for …

After I passed my presentation with full faculty on Veterans’ Day , I followed my Bestie Evie ‘s advice:
Take a Me QT Day.
While I still worked on revising my paper , I also set aside Spa Time this past weekend!
Facial Mask
Based on Fleur De Force ‘s The Glam Guide , I used these ingredients for *acne and **dark spots :
Manicure
Then I treated myself to an at-home mani with the following gift sets:
and polished my finger nails with my own lacquers:
O•P•I Got the Blues for Red & Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener + Revlon Orchid & Silver Screen + Sally Hansen i ♥ Nail Art Striper in black
My top tip to achieving a lasting nail paint job:
Run freshly coated nails in cold water and dodge hot water!
Cold water seals in moisture, while hot water repels and drys it out
If I hand wash dishes, I wear special gloves
I also wear gloves during hands-on activity
Massage
My good †Christian† friend and fellow prayer warrior, Lisa , came through again, introducing me
Thank GOD for these special gifts of blessings and wonderful company!

Regardless of the season, we must treat our skin, hair and nails as we would our finest silk and favorite fabrics ~ with the best care!
One of my main go to basics: Eucerin Aquaphor (petroleum-based ointment)
I dig the *NEW* Eucerin Aquaphor “no-touch” applicator ~ with user-friendly sponge surface & plastic cap (sometimes packaging works if it’s functional)
Now here’s one of my newbies: L’Oréal® Nutri-Gloss Gylco-Silk

Here’s a hint of what I’ll be this Halloween …
Clue: She’s known as the Steel Butterfly who scared off the Beatles who flew far from the Philippines never ever to return.
After winning the costume contest these past couple of years, will I come back for a 3-peat , suggested my boy *USMC* Kyle with a smile ?
While what was on my head (the crow as Lone Ranger ‘s Tonto in 2013 & my beehive gone live in 2014) did the trick ~ or treat ? ~ will this year’s fate be helped with what I wear on my feet ?
Speaking of stilettos , this Muse of Manila who I’ll portray this Saturday was known to have 3K pairs of shoes !
Just to be on the safe side , I wouldn’t endorse wearing heels all day everyday ~ more in moderation … and always have a back-up pair of flats !

If you’ve ever watched Funny Face that starred Audrey Hepburn , then you’ll remember the opening scene when Quality magazine’s editor, Ms. Prescott made time to rhyme :
Think pink [especially for Breast Cancer Awareness]
Red is dead
Perfect for the approaching Advent /CHRISTmas season: Pine cones outside my school ‘s gazebo that I picked up after I taught speech today! (Fun fact: Last time I scored some was when I went snowboarding with my cousins at Lake Tahoe while I still lived in the Bay Area!)
Blue is through [including for my *Dallas Cowboys* plus through blue eyeliner and denim tops]
I beg to differ, Ms. Prescott, because I don’t discriminate against any color … Bring on ALL of the above this season , everyday and always, please!
Bottom line: Fashion rules don’t dictate our lives + we may have pieces in our collection that’ll stay timeless.

To stay in the spirit for this season, I decked out with a little bit of my autumn aesthetics ~ ringing in the old with the new!
My little splurge to bring me cheer this time of year : this rad-in-plaid deer because plaid is on-trend (this one somewhat resembles Burberry) + it’s deer season (not that I’m a hunter) & rein deer season ‘s just around the corner ~ so I’ll adorn it with special ornaments! Just to add to my eccentricity, I named this bad boy DOC to keep me motivated as I keep truck ing along (more in high-speed ) toward my doctoral degree ! Along with Doc are A&A ‘s *Dallas Cowboys* TD toy for football season & my classic Halloween decor ~ including Ba dt z-Maru pillow ~ on this plaid spread that accompanies autumn yet also is appropriate for winter as we approach CHRIS†mas in red & green!
Here’s more info on my fall favorites to take yours truly through this sweater weather & before the snow hits our neck of the woods …
13 Pre-Howl -o-ween Fave Fall Things
What’s the best fall memory you have? ~ football games, both when I was in h.s. & when I’d see my *Dallas Cowboys* live (everything’s BIGGER in TX)
What’s your favorite book you’re reading (or have read) this fall?~ Guts Grace & Glory (football devotionals) that I received during Lent & am reading through football season
Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?~ both (winged liner above in Exhibit B)
Best fragrance for fall? ~ Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (above in Exhibit A)
What is autumn weather like where you live? ~ we’re still as ☼sunny☼ as Indian summer but anticipate a cool-down soon
Most worn sweater? ~ my tribal cardigan by ♫Maroon 5 ‘s ♪Adam Levine♪
Must-have nail polish this fall? ~ Sally Hansen ‘s Miracle Gel to top off color because it seriously lasts a long time (I’m just barely removing my color after 45 days)!
Football games or jumping in leaf piles? ~ BOTH! (see No. 1 for football & Exhibit B for leaf piles)
Skinny jeans or leggings? ~ either or, as long as I don’t have a muffin top in the denim or camel toe in the tights
What is something that nobody knows about you? ~ I don’t mind digging into Ramen even if there’s other food in the panty (especially as comfort food now that we’re entering a colder climate ), which I actually ate for lunch this afternoon while watching Wong Fu ‘s major cook-off !
Combat boots or Uggs? ~ bringing on my Docs , baby!
Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?~ ¡Claro que sí!
What song really gets you into the fall spirit? ~ oddly enough, ♫Taylor Swift ‘s ♪ Wildest Dreams♪ because it could describe any desire (i.e., “tall” could be a tall order of Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha ), fulfilled or fantasized about
