DIY: Galaxy Shoes!

All you need are some markers, alcohol, and white acrylic paint or correction pen (this was the one I used.) Glitter glue works too!
We got your shoes from a local department store. It was priced at 2 for 499. The brand was called Kicks, but I can't seem to find more info online. Here is what it looked like before we colored it. (I just got the photo online. I lost the raw photos, my phone died.)



The instructions in the video were easy to follow, you don't have to be an artist to create the design on your shoes. You can color the shoes using permanent markers, highlighters or normal coloring pens. It is best to have black, blue, pink, yellow, gray and purple ready. How you color the shoe matters, but you must not color block. Spaces are needed for the design to look like you have a few galaxies on your feet.
Once you are happy with your base color, you can start using rubbing alcohol to spread the colors! You can still add more colors if you want too. Let it dry before adding the "stars."
Here is our finish product:

How was 2016?

A year-end report that is somewhat late. How were the first few days of the year? Does it feel like a new year or just a continuation of the previous year?

2016, I'm not sure how to feel about this year. There has been a lot that has happened, from the elections in the Philippines, deaths of well-known artists, territorial disputes, the war and the US elections. This year for me was either mediocre or extreme. So, yes I think 2016 was normal.

There are a few groundbreaking points in 2016 for me. One was when the team at work was divided to two, my travel to Bacolod, the Jmusic concerts I got to watch for free and turning one year at my current workplace, coloring all of my hair in crazy shades. Bought a waterproof cam, new phone (that sad is in repair after 2 weeks of use), I got to try new hair dye and makeup brands. I got to blog a little more. Will need to do more this year though and try to promote the blog. 

Aside from that, I think all was normal. Hopefully, this year can be a little bit more out there, like more adventure and travel. Planning to blog full time and save money!

No one knows what will happen this year... I will just enjoy or bear with it when something happens! 



Happy New Year!
