I know Sunday was Father’s Day but twas decidedly spent with my gurlfriend, Penny. Reason was that Dads ought to spend the day with the kids to celebrate the special day, so the girls now have time to play! Heehee.

We actually had a few things needed done that day — something I’d like to call beauty errands, hehe — have our eyebrows threaded and buy a few beauty stuff, all part of prepping for the wedding (she’s part of the entourage and I’ll be their hair and makeup artist AND guest photographer for the bride and groom, gah) we’re going to attend in a week’s time. We had planned on simply hitting Alabang Town Center but found ourselves heading towards Makati at the last minute.

Threading costs Php 280.00 at Piandre in Greenbelt. FINALLY. I tried it out! Though it’s true that it can be painful but I was a bit surprised that it wasn’t as painful as I expected it to be. I reckon it’s due to the fact that my eyebrows are already shaped and all it needed was a bit of cleaning up. It meant less hair to be threaded out. It also can be that I regularly pluck my eyebrows, so I’m sort of used to the feeling. Had my skin not turned red and blotchy, I wouldn’t even know where it hurt exactly. Skin turning red and blotchy is normal, yes? If not, uh-oh. LOL.

I didn’t put any makeup on my eyebrows seeing that I was scheduled to have them threaded. As you may have well noticed, I decided to give the mineral makeup set I received from The Body Shop (US). I’ve already tried the foundation and eye shadow on previous occasions, however, twas the first time I tried the blush. Remind me to put up the reviews on these babies soon.

What about you folks? How did you spend your Sunday, Father’s Day and all? Regardless, I hope you all had a fun day!
