Mini Cover | Daizy Vang

This video was film awhile back, May 16, 2012, when she just turn three not so long.  I forgot all about this video until yesterday, she wanted to look at her baby videos.  I saw it and I just have to upload it for you all.  It was just a mini cover version of Hli Xiab (New Moon) by the Destiny a Hmong Band.

I hope you guys enjoy.

P.S.
I am so so sorry that I've been slacking for months now, but I promise you all I'll get back on track very soon.  Subscribe to my Youtube for any video updates, follow me on Twitter for life updates, follow me on Instagram/Tumblr for daily life photos.  Thank you for those who sticks around!

Fun Photos

Riding on pony

Now that she's bigger, she don't want to go on the merry-go-round anymore, because she says they freeze, they don't move, and she prefers the real ones, this brat.

She was fishing, got three smalls.

My own opinion these fair games are so unfair, I'm sure there are more small then medium and large.

She chose a yellow ducky.

Daizy waited for her cousins to come, she was complaining so much.

They went on the Express ride, which we call it the Dragon ride hehe :D

The Swing ride

The Turtle ride.

One Fun Night.

XOXO, Pakou Xiong

BEFORE

AFTER

This was my fave out of the bunch.  And seem like it's her fave too.  Since finals/exams are coming up, I've been busy lately and just haven't been updating my blog, I do apology for that.  And as for OOTD and Makeup Reviews, yes I'm still doing it just been busy lately that I have have the chance to.  I have a bunch I need to write reviews about, and maybe all of you gals out there have already tried it.

As I mention several post before, I am searching for singles, couples, toddler, maternity, and much more during June 14 through July 14 weekdays only.  Why only those days because I'm on summer break from school.  I am free Fridays also so feel free to hit me up on Fridays, I know most of you work, go to school and such.

I've been getting a lot of questions about session, I don't charge a lot.
If I contact you to do a photo shoot, you do not need to pay!

Charges for Photo Shoot Session:

$50 (plus CD with photos)

XOXO,

Pakou

Fresh Paint: L'Oreal Polish

L'Oreal's New Collection Polish

Not a Cloud in Sight #111

It's a gorgeous Caribbean blue.  Not too blue not too light, just that gorgeous shade of blue.  I don't usually buy L'Oreal's nail polish but I picked up four of the new collection, very summery colors.  I picked up Crazy for Chic #110 (gorgeous pink red, but more red tone), New Money #108 (very limey green), Royalty Reinvented #107 (lighter purple, on the bluer tone side.), and Put a Cloud in Sight #111 (which is the color I painted my nails).

How to Achieve the Opaque Color:

001.  Base Coat

002.  One Thin Layer of the Polish

003.  Paint another Layer after 2 Minutes

004.  Top Coat

005.  Or do Art Design to your desire

XOXO,

Pakou

Gorgeous Lavender

Fresh Paint! Gorgeous Lavender

Polish:  Essie "Bond With Whomever" #1008

13.5 ml/.46 fl oz

Retail for $7.50 at your drugstore

To conquer this lol JK:

(this polish is so opaque that with one coat is enough, but I did go over with another thin thin coat, I really do recommend you have a base coat, but if you don't I don't really know if you'll have the first opaque layer.)

001.  Base coat, I use OPI natural nail base coat

002.  Paint your nail with your polish, I use Essie "Bond with Whomever" #1008

003.  If your polish is opaque enough one coat is fine, but if you want to go for it a thin thin layer

004.  Top it with your favorite top coat, I use Seche Vite Dry Fast Coat (I love love this top coat) fast and convenient.

XOXO,

Pakou

The Big Donut Flare

Here is a side view of my precious baby girl's "Big Donut Flare Updo"

Steps on achieving it;

001.  Gather your hair and tie it just above your ears

002.  Split into four section (if the child have a lot of hair spit into 6-8 section)

003.  Start with the bottom sections first

004.  Use at least two poppy bins for each section

005.  Last section you should end with is the top section to get better results

006.  Style your bangs to desire if you leave bangs

007.  Use your favorite hairspray to set in place and for fly away aka baby hair

008.  Add in accessories if want to

Closer up on the "Big Donut Flare Up-do"

XOXO,

Spring Shoot!

Today was the actual day in late April, late Spring that was sunny, beautiful, warm out.  My baby girl has complain so much that she wanted to wear her dresses, for the past months.  But all I said was "wait until it's warmer" and she calmly reply "okay."  But today was so perfect, and she had one of her most favorite new dress on.  So we decided to do a mini session of her Spring photo shoots.

This is the cutest smile that she has putted on ever that I've seen.

If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, or FB maybe you've seen this one already!

Something New!!!

Read Below Carefully incase you're interested...

This is totally something new that I try attempting!  It's not the very best but hope you all like it.  Took me awhile to get this session I did with my sister in law up due to the fact that I just started school this month and homework.  I know I'm losing time blogging and youtubing.  But when I eventually all caught up everything will be at the same speed..  Thank You everyone who supports me and believe in me!

I am looking forward to this Friday, April 26, 2013 to do a photo shoot with anyone who is available around 2:30pm and on.  If you are interested or know anyone that will like a free photo shoot, let me know, message me on my FB; pakouxiongg and we can get something work out.  If I don't get any modelers in by Thursday than it's off and I'll just do photo shoots of my baby girl.  I know it was such a short notice, my apologies.

 

XOXO.

So Sparkly Minty!

Fresh Paint

If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter, FB, Tumblr then you've seen this photo already.  Certainly I cannot wait anymore for my nails.  If you didn't or don't follow me on twitter or don't have twitter, then probably you don't know what I'm talking about.  I had this little incident where I trim to deep on both side of my right thumb nail, that it started to break and it was deep, so I had to cut my nail/nails, let it grow cut again and grow it and shape it, file it, and etc., you nail polish gal knows.  it's been so long that I haven't had polish on my nails that I missed it so much.  So I didn't let my nails grown completely before painting my nails...

Before&&After

My edits are getting there so hang with me, I'm learning.

She's wearing a Traditional Thai Clothes in color cream and gold, along with a gold necklace and earrings.  I got these Thai Clothes from Thailand, when my parents visited.  My mom have it customize and also sizable down on both side for the skirt just incase you do gain some weight, just saying.  There are some that are premade and ready to sell, put you can choose to have it custom made (choose the color, style, and size).  Hope I made sense.

Inspired Pose ♡

Photoshoot Sunday with sister-in-law..  She's a model..

This pose was inspired by my little princess.  But I decided that I want an older teen to pose the pose that inspired me so much...  Being inspired makes me want to do more photo shoots.  But we shoot-ed on such a chilly day, it's March, almost Easter and look there's still snow, doubt that Easter's going to be successful.  Anyways, shooting is just a fun activity for me during my spare time. 

 

 

Inspired Photo of the Mighty Princess

Sorry such bad quality, took with my iPod Touch and yes she has a similar outfit.
