Archive for 2014

2014 is over!!! Yes, today is New Years Eve and I can't believe it but extremely glad that it's over!! In 2013 I remember stating that I will be making productive changes in my life for 2014 that would make me a better adult. However, 2014 was another year filled with unexpected surprises and changes; 2014 brought me great memories filled with happiness as well as pain. Even then, the inflicted pain was something I brought upon myself and if I had been more aware and careful someone events could have definitely been avoid. But still, I am deeply grateful that these events occurred since it helped me realized my position on where I stand in life. 2014 has had its ups and downs; but 2014 has been a year I was able to teach myself a lesson to grow up and figure out who I am rather than what I should be. Well, here is a quick summary of my 2014. And also, due these events that occurred I have definitely caused a major dysfunction on my blog and sorry for my act of disappearance during this year. In 2013 I had around 137 posts in a year and this year I barely passed 60 posts. During this time, I would like to thank everyone who has stuck on to me til the end! I am deeply grateful for everything, I love you all so much and really wish I could give each and everyone of you a great big hug!!

Since I had only a few posts up, I will not be doing my yearly traditional recap posts but instead as promised I have definitely given you a quick treat with my "12 chapter - Recap Series" on youtube! It's a series of twelve video which features a video captured from each of month (from January to December). I had a great time creating this project and would love to give a big shout out to my friends Diana, Maaria, Cynthia and my lovely team at Fashion Weekly Magazine for the help. Each of them has contributed in many ways to create these videos!

Hope you all have a wonderful New Years Eve!!

Take care and also at this time I want to thank all my old readers and new readers for all you support and in the upcoming New Year, I will try to entertain you more with more exciting posts in 2015!

With alot of love,

My sister’s 21^st birthday is right around the corner and I wanted to do something special with my nails. Sadly since I have tiny nails, I am never able to do anything special to them (if you follow me on twitter you would have already learned about this). However, to my surprise when Broadway Nails claims when they sent me their Impress Press-On Manicure set for review, I was over the moon.

You can purchase them from WALMART
(http://www.walmart.com/ip/Broadway-Nails-Impress-Press-On-Manicure-Space-Cadet-Nail-Covers-24ct/21604104)

The best parts of these nails are that their drying time is fast and since its imPRESS Press-On Manicure is an instant salon-perfect manicure for which you have to spend zero drying time. The designs are professional, cute and it’s extremely easy to remove (just add nail polish remover). The sad parts are that it only last for a week and the nails are not reusable.

You can sign up to Influenster without any invite/referral, but it’s better to join a network (using someone’s invite). When you join using an invite, you then belong to a “network”. The more influential your network is, the better your score. Each member has a limited amount of invites, so unfortunately I cannot invite you all to be a part of my network. If you’re interested in though, I have 5 invites available. Signing up is free, and the service is free. You do not have to pay for membership or any perks that you may qualify for. If you want to leave me a comment with your email address or send me an email mylyfemystory@gmail.com, I will send you an invite. Once all invites have been sent, I’ll update this post to let you know that they are all gone.

The verdict: I love the VoxBox and I tend to have short nails. So this was definitely helpful and I am die heart fan of prints (the two sets of nails I received tends to do justice to it). I will be purchasing more of them for walmart, in different prints and shade.

What do you think of the goodies I received? If you’re not a member, are you going to sign up?

Disclosure: I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. I am under no obligation to give any sort of review. All opinions stated in this post are my own. And the images used on the post are from google's image serach (imPress Broadway Nails)

Another fashion risk.... especially for me!! Even though this isn't as heavy as my stripped leggings look, this is another particular style of clothing I would have never imagined myself wearing. Growing up I was extremely restricted and as I grew older it has grown with me. However, in the last months I have definitely been confident with myself and started to take some fashion risks. I still remember as a teen I use to look at magazine and question myself on how some people are capable of pulling of these particular pieces. But after a few year (in my early twenties) I have learned for my experiences that it's not the clothing items that makes the individual stick out but rather their confidences. To be frank, right now due to all your support with the great comments, suggestions and tips I learned to careless about what others think about my clothing or my style, but rather I tend to be proud that someone is actually amused with my outfit that they have taken some value time of their day to observe and talk about it.
So, this is my question for today...
how many of your style has evolved over the years and how did it affect your level of confidence?

Also, the giveaway winners of ROMWE (dresses of their choice) is Amber (tiger9042 - lookbook.nu) and GFC (OhMyDior - Blogger)
Since the giveaway had over 800+ entires I want to double the winners, so another two awesome people will be chosen on the day after Mother's Day!!

Anyways, that's all for today and I will try my best to have another outfit post by the end of this week, so wish me luck!! Also, hope you all have a great week!!
