0 Save Your Skin From Winter!

Winter is near again. Time to wrap ourselves up like a pillow. While we can keep our bodies warm, the face is still exposed to the harsh winter wind. Cold weathers mean dry skin. Even myself, who have very oily skin, have super dry and flaky skin during fall and winter times.

The moisturizers we usually uses might not be very effective because our skin needs much more than that. Make sure to change the product if your skin type change from oily to dry because moisturizers that says for oily skin does not work well in dry skin. 

Get yourself a moisturizer for dry skin. If your skin was originally dry, it might turn even dryer during winter time so try to find a moisturizer made for very dry skin. There is a difference of moisturizers made for dry skin and moisturizers made for VERY dry skin. Just that extra VERY on the product makes a difference in your skin.

Here is my daily night routine for fall / winter:

1: Wash my face with an exfoliant wash to buff away the flakiness. (I use Philosophy's Exfoliating Face Wash)

2: Pad dry. Very important because you don't wanna irritate nor cause more flakiness.

3: Toner made for dry skin. I use toner only if I wore makeup for that day to make sure my skin is makeup-free.

4: Put on emulsion for dry skin. Always wait a minute or so for your skin to absorb the product before applying anything else onto your skin.

5: I put on an essence or a serum. I use essence when I want extra moisture and my serum when I want some brightening.

6: Finally I put on my moisturizer. Again, make sure it suits your skin type.

Here is my routine for days my skins are extremely dry:

1: Wash my face with an exfoliant wash to buff away the flakiness. (I use Philosophy's Exfoliating Face Wash)

2: Pad dry. Very important because you don't wanna irritate nor cause more flakiness.

3: Toner made for dry skin. I use toner only if I wore makeup for that day to make sure my skin is makeup-free.

4: I put on a moisturizing sheet mask. I mostly use My Beauty Diary's sheet mask. Read HERE a review of my current favorite mask.

5: After the mask I pad the extra serum from the mask onto my skin.

6: I put on emulsion and then my moisturizer. 

TIP: I only do this routines right before bed. Sleeping helps the products work better.

I bought my Laneige's Moisture Cream from SaSa not long ago. I'm loving it! I really hope this helps and ALWAYS drink plenty of water. Love you guys very much for reading my blog. 

0 Psy's Gangnam Style is #1!!

Psy's Gangnam Style took #1 on Youtube's Top 100 passing Justin Bieber's Baby MV. Way to go Psy oppa! Gangnam Style MV went viral immediately when it got uploaded and now is known worldwide. I'm a big fan of Kpop and this mv is one of a kind. YG must be very proud.

 

 Psy had been traveling around the world performing the song. He received the award for Best Video on MTV's VMA. He perform also on the AMAs. Kpop had always been popular in the States but this song just took Kpop to a larger audience.

Gangnam Style had been parodied by people around the world. Even when it took #1 on Youtube's Top 100 for most views, the video is still viral. Most viral videos would stop after a certain time, but not this one. This one still have a long way to go. The unique dancing style on the mv is certainly the main thing. You won't see as many audience dancing on a performance like the ones do when Psy is performing the Gangnam Style.

As a fan of Kpop I feel proud for knowing and loving Kpop, especially YG Entertainment, before many other now. YG never fails to impress me. Their artists are one of a kind like GD's song "One of a Kind".

I find many other kpop artist's singing and dancing style very similar, but not YG. Big Bang are the ones that got me into kpop and I just want to thank YG for its hard work. You guys will keep climbing to the top.

0 Angelababy is my inspiration!

This pretty girl here is the inspiration for my life. She is beautiful and talented. I find her extremely funny and sweet. She started out as a "leng mo". She is a model and an actress. She just released her first album.

There was many rumors of her getting plastic surgeries. I really don't care if she did or not. Even of she did, it's her body. She had to take so much from these ignorants. But she stayed strong and kept going. She did better and better. She is getting higher at her career as a model and actress.

For all of you haters out there saying craps about her, keep doing it, cause you're just make her more known and famous. Girls and guys love her. Please, those who supports her, keep supporting my idol. I'll leave you guys with two more pictures of her. xoxo

0 Zombies are not Evil! Paranorman

  Zombies are in their own world. They have their own way of living...or shall I say they own way of been dead. Their instincts are to eat human flesh or brains. It is how they are. 

I recently watched the movie Paranorman. It made me realize that zombies, however you describe it, are just doing what they should be doing. Eating humans and brains. It's just like wild beast attacking humans. It's not that they are evil, it's their natural instincts. 

True that its scary. I would probably shoot them when I see one. I don't talk zombies like Norman , the main character of the movie Paranorman. I don't care whatever reasons it is, if they try to come close to me, they are DEAD! May they rest in pieces then. lol

For all of you who haven't watched the movie, I recommend you do. The movie has a great storyline and might teach you a lesson or two about been the weird one of the school or neighborhood. Weird isn't bad, it means you stand out and have something others don't have.

0 Love is only a feeling ?

Love is not just for boyfriend girlfriend. Family, friends, enemies, etc... So what is love? Well, I'm no expert, but I will just tell you guys what I think what love is.

For me, love is not just a feeling. Love can be a desire. When you desire something or someone, you would LOVE to have that certain thing or person. Love can be disguised by hate. When you love someone so much it hurts, you hate that person for making you love him/her that much. 

We are all selfish creatures. We think or help others to satisfy ourselves. That's not a bad thing at all. People donate to help the less fortunate because it makes them feel good. Therefore, it satisfied them by making them feel like they have helped others. Other people don't like giving to others and we might call them selfish. Like I said, we are all selfish. We give to make us feel good, so we were not only thinking about how we can help others, but also how it would make us feel about it. 

Others don't give because it makes them feel good. If giving to others make them feel uncomfortable, they would definitely not do that. We think about ourselves before others. Some say that they think about others first, but unconsciously they thought about how thinking about others first make them feel so you thought how it would make you feel first before thinking about them. 

I know it might be very confusing for some to understand. It is very hard for me to actually write down my own "understanding" of what love is. Tell me what you think love is. Do you agree with me? Or do you think that it's the total opposite?

2 Bye Bye Acne Scars!

I want to tell you guys about the product that had helped my skin tremendously. This product is Dr Dennis Gross' Alpha Beta Peel. I saw this product on Sephora and decided to buy it since then , I had problems with acne and scars.

The one I bought was the extra strength one. I was pretty desperate at that time to fix my skin. Great choice for me. I chose the product that actually helps. It is pretty pricy but Im on my third purchase already. It's a two-step process. There al medicated pads so it's easy to use. I used to use it everyday but now only once in a while.

The product is very drying. It dried up my skin, acne, and scars as well. I saw results after two weeks of use. It helps fade my acne scars. Since it also dried up my active breakout, it cause more scars. I decided to go to see a doctor, she prescribed me retinol and acne was gone after a year of using it. Since I have no more problem with breakout but scars now I can use this Alpha Beta Peel to fade my scars in conjunction of my MBD masks.

I still get breakouts once in while, but nothing close to as before. This product says it's for anti-aging, which is true, but it also claims to fade acne scars and other spots. Check this product out if you guys have the chance to.

0 Japanese Food!

Japanese food is healthy and delicious. It is very popular around the world. One of the most famous Japanese food is sushi! Sushis are amazingly delicious and healthy.

Many people would think of raw fish when they hear sushi. Yes, there are raw fish and other raw stuffs, but it also have deliciously cooked eels. "Ew eels!" WTF?! Eels are delicious. Eel, cucumber is one of my favorite rolls of sushi.

Also eel with rice is another heavenly food. Sorry for the crappy photos. I took it with my ipod touch. It's half eaten before it occurred to me to take a picture lol

Another famous Japanese food is the ramen. Ramens are noodle. Ramen is Naruto's favorite food. He would eat many bowls every time. Don't ask me how I know that... -.-
If I ever have the chance to go to Japan, my first ever Japanese restaurant to visit would be a ramen one. I want to try out the different flavors they have.
They do have many ramen shops here in NYC but I'm pretty sure there are many more awesome flavors in Japan. With the Japan feel and all that.

I should definitely create a NYC food junkies club! lol I love to eat.
