Safe House by Meg Cabot
(Started: September 14, 2010; Finished: September 17, 2010)
Summary/Description:
JESS MASTRIANI was on vacation when Amber went missing. Most people blame Jess for Amber's brutal slaying, but how could Jess -- even with her psychic ability to find anyone, anywhere -- have stopped the cheerleader from turning up dead, without having known she was even missing? When yet another cheerleader disappears, Jess has a chance to redeem herself. If she can just find the girl before it's too late, maybe Jess will finally have a chance to be part of the in crowd. Except that it's starting to look like being in might just get you -- not to mention your loved ones -- killed. So much for popularity. (From Goodreads)
The first product one should use when starting a 10 step skincare routine is an oil cleanser or a makeup remover. Washing your face with your go-to cleanser is not enough to remove all obstacles your skin have, from makeup, excess sebum, dirt to other dreadful impurities. Hence, the infamous "double cleansing". For those who are well-versed in the beauty scene, you sure don't need this lecture but for those, like me, who are late bloomers or constantly discovering the path to a beautiful skin, I got you!
Here's last month's round up of what I was up to and new discoveries in general. Read on below!

Book Review: Make Up: Your Life Guide to Beauty, Style, and Success--Online and Off by Michelle Phan
Music
No playlist discoveries but here are some songs I'm currently loving (hint: I also included some May tunes--can't help it).
So happy for Miley for recovering from her downward spiral phase. I love how refreshing this song is. It's sweet, it's happy, you just know it's just full of love.
I remember discovering them when I was creating a wedding playlist for my best friend. I actually miss this kind of tunes. It's mellow, very emotional but not borderline dramatic. It's just right to help you gather your thoughts and appreciate the moment.
Games
I'm not sure if I shared this before but I'm addicted to anything Disney-related. So remember how I love playing Disney Emoji Blitz? If you follow the brand on Youtube, you can also watch how they translate their stories through it. Check out the whole playlist below. I'm sure you'll be a convert, too, after this.
TV Series
It's already a given that I have long watchlist so here's how I'm trimming it down.
- Girlboss: Okay, so I was really excited to see this show. Imagine a fashion empire built from scratch by one of the most influential modern women in the industry. Expectations: empowering, inspiring, way to go woman! But unfortunately, I felt disappointed and it didn't really mean anything to me. I even felt bad for some of the people in Sophia's life. I know she carries the brand Nasty Gal but she just represents a character I do not like. It's just too much and there's barely progress with her personality. I like Annie more. She's so positive and supportive. You just want to be friends with her for life. Giving this 2 stars.
- Gossip Girl: Yep, I decided to re-watch Season 5 so I can finally finish the series. Wow. So much has changed since it was released. But it never gets old. Too bad, it didn't end as to how most of us expected it to be.
- Lucifer: It's cunning. It's scandalous. I love it! Must watch! You won't regret it. Promise.
Movies
- Split: Kudos to James McAvoy for his good acting and for portraying so many characters in one movie. That was not an easy role. The movie is trippy and you really have to be a fast thinker to keep up and to be an observant so you won't miss any detail. It's fun and psychologically haunting at the same time.
Looking Forward To
- Osaka Trip in June
- First Boracay trip in May
- See results from my skincare routine. Yes, please.
Plans & Wishes
- To save more and to invest
- To open a business
- Finish all my backlogs
- Read all my books in my TBR pile
- Travel and explore more
- Get back my old body and be fit
- Create more writing challenges
- Need to start my book club
- Try more products for my skincare routine
Some were mentioned before from my previous posts. So if I repeat it, it means it's a consistent goal or I haven't achieved it yet.
Well, that's about it. It's basically a quick update and I tried keeping it as short as I can. I hope you guys learned new things about me in this article. Ciao!
Love lots, xx

Summary/Description:
FRIENDSHIP TO THE MAX!
At Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's camp for hard-core lady-types, things are not what they seem. Three-eyed foxes. Secret caves. Anagrams. Luckily, Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are five rad, butt-kicking best pals determined to have an awesome summer together... And they're not gonna let a magical quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! The mystery keeps getting bigger, and it all begins here. (From Goodreads)
