Announcement: New Ideas and Insta

I apologize for being MIA for the past few months... I have been very busy with studies namely thesis. However, I am enjoying the holidays and the vacation. I seriously need the R & R! Anyways, I wish to greet you all a very belated MERRY CHRISTMAS! I also wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you are enjoying your holidays with your loved ones.

For the past few months, I have constantly thought about making vlogs or video blogs since I am quite busy with studies thus I would like to introduce to all of you Sharm's Notes. I plan to make this like a web series but I need to test run it first since I do not have the fancy cameras thus I ended up shooting my video on the MacBook Air's built-in camera in which I am not certain it would play on PC or Windows.

I made a YouTube account already but the problem is I still need to edit the video and upload it which by the way takes so long... Can someone tell me how to upload a video to YouTube? I plan to use iMovie to upload the video to YouTube but it does take so long. For now, I'll just make a written Sharm's Notes by reviewing some beauty products, etc.

For now, I will share to you a video I posted on my Instagram (@xoxosharm24)... The video shows some beauty products and a watch that I got from my Aunt when she went to U.S.A. Enjoy!

I am also going to share my outfit for my 20th Birthday last November 24, 2013. Goodness me, I am 20 years old... No longer a "teenager" but a young adult/lady.

Another video showing my accessories this time...

Some Shoes on My Instagram

I have lots of shoes and here are some of the shoes I have posted on my Instagram...

My Skechers (missing one):

I love Skechers very much... My reason is simple. It last long with me. I have one more pair of Skechers shoes, not featured on my Instagram, that have been with me since I was in grade 5. Talk about memories. It still fits quite nicely. I still wear it when I do my work-outs. The memories I have with that one pair of shoes.

If you want long lasting shoes that you can trust, I suggest you buy a pair of Skechers. The last pair of Skechers shoes has also been with me for a long time now. I always wear this when I travel... This shoes has been to China, Taiwan, United States of America, and many more places. I will be wearing it again this December if my family ever decides where we would go. Our choices are Malaysia and Hong Kong. Where to go on December, Malaysia or Hong Kong? Any suggestions? Tell me on the comments. Just pick one please...

Some of my Crocs:

Two of them are color violet. Is it too obvious that I love the color of the violet? *Laughs*

For the record this are not all of my Crocs, I still have probably two more pairs of Crocs. I only wear my Crocs during rainy days especially when I have classes because as everyone would probably know by now is that the Philippines experiences the worst floods ever. The area where my university is located gets flooded a lot when there's typhoons or if it is raining cats and dogs... Regardless of which, I love my university!

Crocs are actually very comfy but sadly I need to stop buying shoes made from the materials used in most Crocs shoes. Crocs are made out of "closed-cell resin" so it makes our feet sweat if we do not wear socks. Also, if you are living or staying or going to a hot place not a best idea since like I said before it can make your feet sweat if you do not wear socks. If your feet does not sweat when you wear these kind of shoes, be grateful because you are free from the possibility of getting a Fungi. This shoes is mainly good for rainy days for me... They still look nice and fashionable though.

The material used for Crocs is found here:

Crocs, Inc. Crocs: Investors Overview. 2010. Web. 5 September 2012. <http://investors.crocs.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=193409&p=irol-irhome>.

^^^^Always site your sources (the Literature Major side of me) or at least mentioned where you got a certain information or picture.

My shoes from Taiwan (there's a lot but so far I have only taken a picture of two pairs... I should wear the other shoes I bought from Taiwan some more):

Shoes: Aso

Shoes: Elite Model Management Shoes

The reason why I love buying shoes from Taiwan: They are cheap and comfortable! It does not hurt your feet at all. *Happy Girl* Whenever I go to Taiwan, I make sure to buy at least one pair of shoes though that will be hard since usually we go there during December so they have promos like "Buy 1 Take 1" or "Buy 1, Get 50% Off the second pair". So awesome! I miss Taiwan!

My Staccato shoes:

Love my Staccato shoes! There really amazing! Perfect heels for me...

My Other shoes:

Shoes: Cerutti

Shoes: Le Donne

This is a good formal shoes.

Shoes: Zara

This is simply Hot and Awesome. It's wedge so no need to worry about tripping... *Laughs*

Shoes: Swims

Good to wear for rainy days... The neon pink also adds to the cuteness. At least when you go out at night and wear this, you can somewhat be spotted. It is really neon bright!

Shoes: Melissa

Shoes: CMG-Matthews

It's foldable flats. Easy to bring anywhere you... It's super comfy!

Shoes: Naturalizer

Slipper: ??? Shoes: Dorothy Perkins

I think we bought the slipper from Taiwan... Wow! I cannot believe I forgot where we bought this. *Laughs*

Smart: Dr. Scholl's Blister Defense

I am here to talk about a product that I had for some time now. It is very amazing and I really think that this is a smart investment for people who get blisters on their feet every time they wear shoes (new or old) because I have worn my corporate shoes many times now but I still get blisters.


Anyways, the product is Dr. Scholl's BlisterDefense Anti-Friction Stick.

I am so sorry for the photo being blurry... I took it using my iPod Touch for my Instagram and the room was dark. Not to mention, it was early in the morning and I am so sleepy because I have been sleeping really late due to so many books and papers to do at the same time and waking up so early in the morning. My hand was most likely swinging at that time since I have been feeling a little dizzy due to lack of sleep. *Laughs* Oh, the sacrifices I make for Literature. (By the way, follow me on Instagram @xoxosharm24. If you do not have Instagram, then make one because it is a lot of fun to take photos and share them. However, if you do not want to make an Instagram account then you can view my Instagram photos through Webstagram, Sharm's Webstagram.)


Anyways, here is a better photo.

I bring this with me whenever I will be wearing a new pair of shoes or my shoes that had caused me blisters before. It is so easy to use. All you have to do is glide it on the area where you think you will get blisters or feel like your skin is rubbing against your shoes (usually on the back of the heel and side of the foot). It is a very convenient to bring along with you because it is travel size. It is a non-messy application and invisible. It really helps in preventing blisters.


There was this one time where it failed me but then again I did not use it before hand. *Laughs* That was really my bad! The reason I bring it with me because I glide it as often as needed like when I start to feel like my skin is starting to rub against the shoes. The area that I applied it to feels smoother so I guess that is how it is preventing my skin from rubbing against my shoes. It is an invisible protection between my shoe and my feet! *Happy*


You can see more details about it here. >>>> Dr. Scholl's BlisterDefense Anti-Friction Stick

I advice you to also check the website and other products because the website offers consultations regarding the products to help you with certain body problems such as Blisters, Foot Odor, and other Foot conditions. It also has products for Lower Body Pain and Skin Conditions. The website explains the different conditions or problems you are facing regarding your feet, skin and lower body. It also gives information about how you can know if you have it, what causes it and how you can prevent it so check the website (Dr. Scholl's Website).
