At long last, bareMinerals came up with a Get Started kit for Lips, Eyes, and Cheeks! Thank goodness because that’s what I’ve been waiting for! You know they have tons of makeup products and I don’t have the time to learn them all. I’m pretty sure the same goes for most of you ladies… I mean, we have other things to think of… we have work to do or lessons to study, not to mention dealing with personal stuff. We have other work on the side, other hobbies to do, exercise, shop, cook, or whatever extra curricular activities we’re into. So having to learn which makeup to use, how to use bareMinerals, or what powder to use with what, is a pain. Thanks to Bare Escentuals, they’ve come up with bareMinerals Get Started Kit for lips, eyes, and cheeks! Yay! I can’t wait to get one soon! Oh and they’re only $49. Yay!

I know this is not a fashion-related post, but just to help my fellow Filipinos learn how to renew their Philippine passport while they are in the US, I have written a guide for you.

As some of you know, we just got back from vacation in California. One of the reasons we went there was to renew Hubby’s passport. Not mine because my passport is valid for the full extent of its validity period - that’s according to the Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles, CA and also according to the US Consular Affairs. So I’m good until 2011. Thank Goodness because I want to skip on the passport fees and long wait. Oh by the way, surprisingly, it’s like you’re back home when you’re in the Philippine Embassy. We waited about 5 hours before our number was called. Although according to the people there, it was not usually the case. It just so happened there were so many Filipinos that day. Hmmm…

After a long vacation in California, Fashion Juice is back! It feels good to be home… not that I didn’t have fun or anything because I sure did. But it feels great to be home! I love Texas. No offense to other states, but Hubby and I really enjoy it here in Texas - it has a little bit of everything! It’s peaceful here but it doesn’t lack the nightlife, entertainment, dining, and shopping areas too! Indeed, it has a little bit of everything! No, let me change that - it has a lot of everything. “Everything is big in Texas” - that’s what they say here. When other states started to go on recession, Texas was the booming state. When the housing market started to slump in other states, Texas homes were able to maintain its price range. Texas is so big so it’s not that jam-packed like other states. Still, it is home to the biggest companies in the US, not to mention it houses oil refineries in the country too. Plus, it’s almost complete when it comes to the shopping labels or brands. The only two labels I could think of that aren’t here are Balenciaga and H&M. When it comes to dining, our city alone is full of choices! We haven’t even tried out everything here. Yet, there are more options to try in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston to name a few. Dallas is like LA (West Coast) and NY (East Coast) of the Mid-US! So we are pretty satisfied with where we are right now. So to anyone curious of what to expect from Texas, why don’t you try visiting our home state some time? Travel to Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, or Austin among others and you’ll see what we Texans are proud of. Hehe

At long last! This is my last post of the top 5 of 2008 series. Why? Because today is the day I arrive back home (or perhaps I have gotten back last night). Nevertheless, this is the last scheduled post I’m writing for my LA trip. As mentioned in previous posts, I was away for a 2-week long Holiday vacation so I wrote all my posts before I left for LA (and this is the last post I wrote 3 weeks ago). Whew! So I’m guessing that you might be fed up with the type of posts I’ve been publishing for the past few days. Don’t worry because by tomorrow, I’ll be dishing about L.A. stuff. The top 5 series and Christmas gift guides are over and done. So since this is may last top 5 of 2008 post, I hope you’ll bear with me with this last one. Click click click!

This list is too broad but let’s just limit it to the most popular trends we’ve seen this year. While I might have missed a thing or two, I’m hoping I was able to include here all the wide-spread trends we’ve seen especially in celebrities. After all, you’re sure it’s a hot trend if you see one in Hollywood. This list covers shoes, labels, clothing, or even accessories and beauty products… So in case I missed something, just feel free to leave a comment and add something you think should have made it to Fashion Juice’s Top 5 Trends of 2008!

Happy New Year to all my dear Fashion Juice readers. Today is another year so I have to make this Top 5 List a special one! This one is not just the Top 5 Designer bags of 2008, but the Top 5 Bags of all time! I was thinking of just going for Top 5 Bags for the year.

While there are other bags that are just as gorgeous or perhaps way more gorgeous, these bags are just like your Top 5 bags to own before you die. So if you want to find out, click, click, click…

Yes, yours truly, Fashion Juice is still on vacation and I can’t wait to write all about it once I go back home. But I got all excited when I learned that Fashion Juice’s Google Page Rank went up to 3 (well, went back to 3 actually). Remember I ranted about my PR ranking going down from 3 to 2? I was probably just lucky the first time that my website got ranked, it got a high rating of 3. But as my sponsors grew and perhaps because my posts were all about shopping and links to labels and online stores, it went down to 2. Now, it’s back to 3! I am so happy! And what’s more? I’m getting my Google pay check this January. It really is a bright 2009 for Fashion Juice! Yay! Thanks to all my readers! Of course, I owe it all to you. So don’t worry! Plans for the contest will be coming soon!
