TYPICAL WEEKEND

                                   HELLO  GUY'S  HAPPY WEEKEND 

we start our weekend morning hanging out at my son soccer practice.they are preparing for next big soccer ligue which will happen three weeks from now.its gonna be busy month for them and for us parents.

 

mostly soccer practise last until afternoon however for some reason the field that they are sopposed to play that afternoon was not available.i heard that there was misunderstanding about the date  between the coach and the venue master.well sometimes it happen.didnt they?so we went home for some lunch.then i quick clean the kitchen before i get ready for myself because we are going out for dinner tonight "yahoo i love you saturday" hubby loves to discover new restaurant everytime he saw a restaurant recommendation whether on tv or magazine he search it to internet.his current new found restau.is a newly open newyork inspired steak house in shinagawa called "casual steak house rib"

here we are now at the front of the restaurant.my first impression is althought it say's casual it also has a simi class ambience with more relax vibes.good for families likes us with young kids.the light inside is very dim i noticed some dating couples to.

the waiter leds us to our table offer us water and handed over the menu.

buffalo wings with fresh celery and veggie dip.

 

garden salad with select farm-fresh veggie .i super super love there dressing.

bead with olive oil to dip. the bread is eat all you can.there is one staff rounding with a basket of warm bread

beef cheeks on red wine sauce with mushed potato.the meat is so tender.its to die for

special hamburger steak for the kids.

the house recommended  special  combo plate "three prime meat" grilled chicken,pork,beef. with my choice of sauce "mushroom and cream sauce" grilled meat with mushroom sauce wsa devine pair for my red wine

as a complete grilled restaurant "casual steak house rib" is a keeper we walk out of this place with a full tummy and a happy face.hubby found a new gem in shinagawa two thumbs up for you pa.the price is not that high to "except the raw ham"which is skip to order the food and wine selection was great. the service is quick the waiters are all efficient and friendly to us.i well recomment this restaurant to all of my friends.its raining outside when we got out. my stolling around shinagawa or maybe sit in one of the open cafe after dinner plan was ruined.with the lack of things to do we decided to just go home and call it a night.hubby toke the longer route on our way home.what can i say hubby know's me very well

THE HAPPY MOM AUG FAVORITE

 

im half sad half excited.sad because my birthday month is over.however the months that ends in "BER" is here welcome september.it means we only have three more months till chistmas.i still have a lot of reason to look forward to. august has been a busy month for me,my kids summer vacation,we went to kusatsu gunma,we celebrated my birthday,then we went to visit my husband relatives at nagano ken etc.after all the chaos and crazy schedules,aug past by fast for me.now that the classes has started here the kids are at school i can now have my me time to write to my blog and share my august favorite so lets jump in.

1st is this shampoo and conditioner "aromachologie reparing duo" from L'OCCITANE l'occitane is known for its high quality product.i remember the first time i tried this product a few years ago.it was at one of the hotel that we are stayed in.i feel in love with the smell so relaxing and addicting the type of smell that make you look forward for your next bath time.it lingers even until 3rd day.it contains 5 essential oils all good for the hair.my hair loves the essential oil that contains in here everytime i use it my hair is more shiny and soft.doesnt make my scalp itchy or dry which is very important.both shampoo and conditioner has the same scent  i will repurchased it again i recommend l'occitane product its worth a try.

2nd is now my holy grail lavender hand cream from loccitane.im picky when it comes to hand cream some of them are just terribly greasy and doesnt do much on the skin.as a housewife im always washing things thats why my hands got easily dry and thirsty of moisture even in summer months.im glad the sales clerk of loccitane shop in "tokyo sky tree tower" recommend this to me the last time i went there.she puts generous amount into my palm.at first i hesitate to rub my hands because of the amount that she puts in me.i thought my hands might gonna be sticky or gross.but then to my surprice it absorb quickly my thristy hand litterally drunk it.it leaves my skin soft and smooth minus the oily feel.as for the price its a bit on a high side but as far as the performace goes it worth every penny.it works for me i love it so much. yes i will repurchase this again in the future.ow and one more thing i love about this hand cream is the smell.it smells wonderful the lavander scent that lingers into my hands makes me feel relax.i have one in my bed side table and one on my purse.

3rd on my fave.NARS ORGASM BLUSH i was looking for a perfect peachy pink blush.that will complement my tan skin (in summer) pale (in winter) ive tried a few high end blushes but doesnt fit my taste its either to pink or to orange for me.i watched youtube searching for the perfect peachy pink blush.i didnt know that nars orgasm is one of the famous blush recommend by the majority of make up users.i bought this a few months ago. lucky me that time nars is offering LIMITED ORGASM BLUSH  twice the size of the regular blush but same price.great timing right? its not the big size thats why its included on my aug fave tho.the main reason is i found the perfect peachy pink blush for me.im not good on describing make up like other beauty guru out there.all i can say is i love this blush im using these ever since i bought it.my go to blush im never get tired of using these.



4rt is this cutie three layered afternoon tea plate.i found this 50 percent on sale at ZARA HOME last months summer bargain.i love sale especialy fifty percent off and up.(who doesnt nways) back to the plate i always wanted a layared plate.so i can put my freshly baked homemade sweets.baking is one of my favorite thing to do. i dont know for me the food looks more delicious and inviting if you arrange them properly.i believe in saying "you eat with your eyes then the stomach" im sure im not alone in this raise your hands if you agree with me hehehh!!

 my layered plate in action.im super happy i find this. indeed a good find.i baked the fruits pound and coffee cupcake,i made that sandwich as well.baking is one of my favorite thing to do on weekends.now i have a layered plate to them to.what is your most favorite this august?

( i will include the price of all the item that i got for my birthday for  those whos concidering to buy the same item  "not bragging here")

i spent a couple of hours hours window shopping and swatching lippies and blush on at the cosmetics area.the boys has nothing to do with the makeup thingy so they are sitting somewhere playing there  DS good boy's .its not only hot today but humid as well the kids wanted some cold treat we havent try "la maison du chocolat"yet so went ahead and tried it.

honestly i forget the exact name of this chocolate drink .but im sure about how delicious it was..

caramel and vanilla ice cream.richiest caramel ice cream ive ever ate.

as for the new purse i  finally have a decision.im not getting one this time maybe next time or when i got tired of my previously own purse.i realized im quite happy now on my collection.well they are releasing new bag eveyyear theres no reason to buy now half  hearted right.

 we pass by chanel boutique on our way to the la maison du chocolat cafe.i thought instead of purse i want a new wallet. ive been using the same wallet (louisvuitton sara wallet)for the past nine years now.for me wallet doesnt have to switch all the time unlike bags.and its my birthday i dont want to go home empty handed wink!!!

a happy birthday girl...

i also got my dream headphone ive been eyeing this for a while now.this headphone actually is on my christmas wish list.he was surprice when i told him i want a nose cancelling headphone he had no idea that i have sudden interest about headphones.he knows i listen to audible and podcast a lot tho.he was like seriously to me? lucky me he said ok! yes its your birthday (yatta) he got me the most recent release the QC 35.
