Halloween Haul From Rosegal.com

Hey everyone!

So today I will be sharing my Rosegal.com Halloween haul.

First things first... forgive me for the super duper late post. Things got so hectic lately. >.<

I am very please that the shipping was so great! This items arrive so fast.

I was so amaze at the quality of the items. I honestly didn't really expect much because they are so affordable. I'll definitely recommend shopping at Rosegal.com.

So here are the items that I bought...

First up is this skew neck sweatshirt, I so love the statement print of this. Need I say more? It's just so comfy and chic!

Next is the blood choker. This is so cool, it really looks like a true blood inside the drop-shape bottle. If you follow me on Instagram you probably seen this a lot. Ive been wearing this since it arrive.

I also got this Pumpkin Printed Backpack. The kiddo like it that I bought it for him. He apparently love it because his been using it to school. Yes! He doesn't mind if the Halloween is over, he really loves the bag.

I like how the bag has a lot of compartment and the big plus is that theres a special room for my laptop. And its sturdy, with a thick back. I can say my laptop is well protected. This is totally the best deal ever!

I also got this preppy style lace-up short sleeve dress which is also in good quality... Check this out in my blog soon coz I'll be making an outfit post wearing this.

Now the next one is the Halloween Night Owl pillow case... The clothing is canvas. The print is nicely done.

Lastly, the skeleton print bodycon dress you can check out my previous post for the photos because I wore it as a Halloween costume. I have a minor caution for this, I ordered a medium size (the usual size I order for dresses), but it turns out to be big. Although its still wearable but its no longer a bodycon dress on me because it's not fit. Other than that, the quality is great and comfy.

What do you think of the Halloween haul? Have tried shopping at Rosegal.com too?

Halloween 2016

Hey everyone!

I know this is way too late post but I just want to share my Halloween adventures and costume for this year... 

The kiddo and I really had fun with our costume and look this Halloween. Even though the kiddo didn't really go all out with his costume compared last year. By the way, for my new readers, the kiddo was a vampire last year.

Initially Justine wants to be a vampire again this year, but we saw this mummy hoodie and pants at the newly open H & M. It was so cool and nice that I bough it for him and he was happy to wear it instead of being a vampire again. 

Justine attended the McDonald Halloween Party this year but it was not as much fun as last year. We're both feeling sorry over the kid who go all out with a Harley Quin costume because she didnt get any price. The winners not really that great. She was so fierce and got the spunk of Harley. :(

I on the other hand, received some Halloween goodies from Rosegal.com (the dress and the blood drop choker) that I decided to wear them. I found this white wig at the old closet so I wore them for a more creepy look. 

While taking this photos... my son and I had fun scaring the neighbors kid who cried a lot after seeing us in this costumes. XD

How was your Halloween this year?

Liebster Nomination 2016 From Kitty Journal

Hi y'all! Hows life?
I'm currently addicted to Instagram and getting the hang of Twitter, that most of the time I spent most of my spare time there rather than blogging. I am not sure if that's good or not. What do you think?
How about you which social network do you hangout the most? 
By the way, if  were not yet friends on Insta and Twitter feel free to connect with me and shoot me a comment on my profile so I can follow you back. I'm @Venussmileygal on both social networks. ^_^
 Today, I am going to answer questions that Kai of Kittyjournal.com sent for Liebster nomination.
Thank you Kai for the thoughtful nomination. I enjoyed answering the questions...

1. What’s the story behind your blog name?

Venussmileygal has been my online nickname. And so when I created a personal blog I name it after my online nick. However, back then I am not managing my own domain and hosting so when the domain named expired and was not renewed immediately, the domain was taken away by others because it has a page rank of three and has high traffic. Got totally devastated and I almost stop blogging. When I slowly recovered from that blogging breakdown, I rebuild my blog on EmoteraGoddess.com. I name my blog Emotera Goddess because I am very emotional that time.

July this year I rename my blog back to Venussmileygal. 

2. Who’s your inspiration in life?

My son and my mom. They are my drive to work hard and stay healthy because I know they need me.
And as for my son, he inspires me to be a better and stronger person everyday. I strive to be good and mindful because I know he looks up to me.

3. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

Family and career... Hopefully in love life soon. :D

4. What’s your favorite dish and why?

Tough question.... I actually love a lot of food. 

5. Name one person that left a huge impact on your life.

My son. Having him had a large impact on my life because when I had him every aspect of my life changed. He opened my eyes to something that I didn't see, learn things I didnt know or would never thought I should learn, and find courage to face the cruel circumstances in life. Being a single mom is tough but I am able to stand and move forward to give him a comfortable life now and a brighter future.

6. Do you play any musical instrument? What are those?

No, but I would love to continue learning guitar. I initially learned guitar way back highschool but I stop. 

7. If you were given a chance to talk to God, what would it be and why?

Would probably ask me Him when does He plan to send me the love of my life? hahaha

But seriously, I just want to thank Him for all the blessings He has given me now and for always there behind me, extending His hand when I lost my path, carrying me when I cant stand, wipe my tears when I cried a lot and gives me a big hug when I needed it the most. :)

8. Would you ever travel to a non-air-conditioned bus?

I actually prefer non-aircon bus specially in long trips because I have low tolerance of cold air. I feel dizzy and easily get stomach spasm when long exposure to cold air condition. 

9. Do you have a planner? How do you keep them neat and accordingly?

I do have a lot planners which are already old. In fact, what I am using now is an old planner from previous years. :D

And that's how I keep it neat and order by not using it that much. hahaha! Kidding aside, I am no longer as religious as before in making use of planners. I am kinda sort of a spontaneous person.

10. Name one restaurant you would like to have/own someday.

A fancy coffee or pastry or tea shop. I've been dreaming of owning a cafe like those we see in Korean dramas.... Quaint, has fancy cups and saucers, decorated with flowers and hand paintings, and has a garden. :D

11. Ramen or Pablo Cheesecake?

Ramen. ;)

There you go everyone. I hope you enjoy getting to know me a bit through this questions... If you have some questions for me, feel free to send them to me in the comment sestion below. I would love to answer them on my next blogpost. ;)

Converse Counter Climate

Hey Everyone! Happy Halloween!

How was the weekend? I had a fun weekend spent with friends. The kiddo also had a shopping spree at the newly opened H & M store here in our city. ^_^

Today, Im going to share the Converse new collections for Fall/Holiday 2016. They've just launch the Converse Counter Climate Footwear Collection. A very exciting line of shoes and essentials that are intended to stand up against the unpredictable weather that we are having.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas

Designed for the Chuck Taylor lover who can’t give up their Chucks no matter what the weather, the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas sneaker combines the enhanced comfort of a Lunarlon sockliner, non-slip padded tongue and micro-suede lining with materials that can also withstand most climate challenges. Converse has added a water repellent Shield Canvas and a gusseted tongue, as well as removing the medial eyelets to make a durable sneaker that is ready for wet and rainy adventures. The sneakers also feature reflective heel webbing and barrel laces for added visibility in low light environments.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Rubber

Another iteration of the Chuck II will also be releasing this fall - the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Rubber.
