Online Shopping: SammyDress.com May Haul


How is everyone doing?
I am so excited to share my latest online shopping adventure. I was very surprise and at the same time very happy with the excellent quality of the bag and clothes that I just shopped at SammyDress.com.
And now, without further ado, here's a review of the clothes and bags that just arrived today...

Ribbed Sweater + High-Waisted Skinny Knitted Skirt Twinset ($5.60). This one is thick and very perfect for cold weather. To be honest, I expected this to be thin that I can wear it casually in a tropical country like ours but I was wrong. Good thing the skirt is pretty wearable. I actually love it. So expect to see me wearing this in the coming #OOTD post in  Instagram or Twitter. ;)  

Elegant Women's Shoulder Bag With Arrow Print and PU Leather Design ($15.48). I was really surprise when I saw the bags. It come in set of six; shoulder bag, tote bag, crossbody bag, clutch, wallet, and keyholder. The quality is so great. When I saw the photos in the review I thought it's made of soft PU fabric. However, its actually thick and sturdy. 
Well, except for the keyholder though because when I opened it one of the metal snap button is so hard to open and it almost come off, good thing I was so careful. Now I don't lock that one snap button only the other one because Im afraid it might come off for good.    

Bodycon Mini Sweater Dress ($15.90). This one has not yet delivered. So I'm excited to see the quality and if it'll fit me since in one size.











New Hairstyle


Hi everyone! I just had a new hairstyle. And im so back with bangs... ^-^
This time I tried a Mirangcurl Korean Salon at SM City CDO. I still have the same hair color I just got a haircut. Even though the one I wanted was not achieve (yes again) Im happy with my hairstyle. I like the service specially the shampoo treatment because hey massage your head as well. It's so relaxing and refreshing after. I don't like some of the staff though because I caught some of them talking and joking about the costumer. Although some other staff are very accommodating.
To maintain this hair style can be handful but I dont worry much because I have my Jade Hair Straightening Ceramic Brush which helps a lot with keeping my hair  straight and in place specially at the end part of my hair.
With the Jade hair brush anti-scalding bristle its safe to contact on my palm so I can straighten the hair from the root to end. I can feel the heat but it didn't burn my palm.

Anyways, today I am sharing this very chic and gorgeous wide leg pants I got from Ericdress.com. The cotton blend cloth is thick but soft, very comfortable. Mine is size medium and it fits perfectly.

Any style suggestions?

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.

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. ;)
