#12 Stress

hello my lovely readers,
Lately I have been feeling stress about life because I am so broke. I can't pay for two of my classes this semester.Financial is just not enough ...Who agree with me? Would anyone like to hand me $800 ? Please pretty please haha please with cherry a on top...

Anyways I'm so sorry for disappearing on you guys. I just haven't been  on the mood to write because of stress. But anyways I would like to update you guys on my weight. I lost five pounds but, I am starting to gain it back because I have my period and I cant stop eating grrrr. I will continue to exercise though and when I have my desirable weight , I will post a sexy picture.

You know what I really hate from youtube? Fake gurus who post about products they hate but, make reviews about it because they require them . Youtube is so different now and it saddens me to see some of my favorite gurus become boring and repetitive on their videos. But, there are some gurus I love watching who have fresh ideas and seem genuinely kind in person. Props to really creative gurus out there , I have been an avid follower since 2008. 

Anyways, bye guys 

I will leave this prettyful picture of my current favorite shampoo and conditioner .

#11 Maternity pillows

Hello readers ,
So ever since I can  remember, getting enough sleep has always been one of my biggest problems .  Lack of sleep lead me to having mediocre grades ,pimples,stress causing more pimples and more stresss . So I been googling pillows and guess what, I  discovered magic pillows called maternity pillows . So fat I am so fascinated by maternity pillows . They look so comfortable . I'm not pregnant or anything but Dang it, I really want one . The cotton looks as if it were made of clouds and I love the variety of shapes to choose from . It's like a teddy bear for adults who have trouble sleeping like me and its like having a boyfriend you can pretend to hug while you sleep hahaha . Anyways  Is it alright for a non prego person like to me to buy one ? Hmm what do you all think ? Should I get one ? Anyways sorry for my rambling ,this is so random but I wanted to blog this before I forget haha

#9 How to match Korean BB cream to my yellow skin

Hey my non existent readers,
Todays topic is about bb cream. I love Korean skin care and also, Korean people. Koreans have some of the most amazing skin , and dramas.  Who loves Korean skin care say "I"....

The only downside to BB cream is they never match my skin tone. The shades are soooooo white, I mean I'm sort of pale too but , DANG it  Korean BB creams never match my skin. I love the formulas of Korean BB cream compare to u.s. brands because it doesn't irritate my skin but, I hate the shades.

Anyways, this is how I match my BB cream to my yellow toned skin. Its so simple and I bet most of you do this already . Basically mix it with a darker shade and just wing it until you have the prefect shade .

#8 My holy grails for fighting acne

Hello friends,
Todays topic is about  pimples and my acne prone skin. So I've always thought I have oily combination skin so each time  I buy a new product  I always buy one that is suited for myoily/combination skin. But,when I moved in with my sister she commented on me how I should use products for sesitive skin because I have so many red marks on my skin after a pimple. Ofcourse I just ignored her because I know my skin more than anyone.

That same day we went to walmart to pick up some hair dye. I also picked up a new moisturizer from olay since I ran out. For the past 3 years I have been using Olay moisturizer for oily/combination skin . But, once I got home, I realized that I purchased the wrong one . I accidentally picked one for sensitive skin. I was like OMG , now Im gonna get more pimples but, it has been a God send. Turns out I have sensitive/acne prone skin because the next morning my face wasn't flooded with oil.




The next product I have been using to get rid of my acne is Zapzyt benzoyl Peroxide in 10% strength formula. I use it during night time once a day for the past year and so far it has worked wonders for my skin. Yes, I occasionally get pimples but, not as much as before prior to using Zapzyt . Believe this is better than Proactiv ,cheaper than acne.org ( but ofcourse acne.org products are amazing )  and easily accessible.




Lastly, my favorite is this oil free acne wash in pink grapefruit from Neutrogena. This is the first product I tried from Neutrogena and I m AMAZED. I love this face wash, its perfect for my skin . It removes my foundation and dirt without drying my face too much . I love love this product, I highly recommend this  for people who have oily/sensitive/acne prone skin like myself. No wonder this product got so many awards. 


So far I am loving my face. My acne scars are not so dark and I havent been getting pimples as much. Anyways goodnight guys, I hope this post have been helpful to us girls who have acne prone/sensitive /oily skin.

#5 Weight loss goal

Hello invisible friends
Today I wanted to talk about my new goal . Ever since I was in middle school , my weight has always been a problem . In middle school I thought I wasn't curvy enough . In High school , I gain weight but the only part of my body that got bigger was my stomach . Now I'm in college and I continue to gain weight . I'm 5'1 and I use to weigh 115- 120 lbs but, now I'm 130lbs. But, I think the scale is broken and I believe I'm about 140 lbs.  I would like to be atleast 115 lbs so I can fit my jeans and look stylish without worrying about the wind exposing my gut .

I really want to lose weight so from now on I'll try to update you guys on  my exercise routine.

#4 Should you buy Hair extensions from EBay ?

Hello my invisble readers

Today I would like to share my experience with  clip in hair extensions . 2-3 years ago there were limited amount of websites and videos about clip in hair extensions . But, now there are tons of websites offering hair extensions for very affordable pricrs . Well, 3 years ago I was a noob when it came to hair extension. I didn't even know the importance of grams .

So far here's what I have learned , if you want to buy hair extension from eBay ,make sure you do your research and you should carefully read the description on the item you want to purchase.

1.Read the sellers review and ratings ; angry customers are very honest ,I know I've left some really mean reviews on some sellers from the past
2.Make sure you buy remy hair ; remy hair is the best quality hair you can buy because all the hair go in the same direction
3. 100 grams will make a full head or 120 grams if you have thick hair like me
4. The longer the hair ,the more expensive it will be
5. Overall the most important tip I can give you is to never bleach your extensions because they will get damaged . You can always dye them darker but, never lighten them because they will get damage . I repeat they will get damage .

Would I repurchase hair extensions from ebay ?
Yes,definitely since they provide the cheapest hair and they do last long if you take care of them . Plus, I'm pretty sure most hair wefts and hair come from Asia and American sellers just rebrand them.
THE ONLY DOWNSIDE ABOUT EBAY HAIR EXTENSIONS IS THAT THEY ARE SO SHINY . EVEN THOUGH I'VE DYED THEM ,THEY STILL LOOK SO SHINY SPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE  FLASH ON  MY CAMERA. ANYWAYS I HOPE YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL .
                                  
                                                                                                               ~~~TAKE CARE
                                                                                                                       REA ^-^
P.S.
- if I had more money I would invest in foxylockhairextensions and melrose hair extension from flat iron experts . Unfortunately I don't have that kind of money at this moment since I have to pay bills for schools and be responsible . Story of my life




#3 My 8 years battle with acne and going

Hello again invisible friends,
Whoa I'm on a roll today !

Today I would like to discuss about my long term battle with acne. The first time I ever got pimples was  in middle school, and I was 13 years old.  This was also, the age when I started puberty. My pimples from 13-18 years of age were typically small and the acne scars would fade within a week after the pimple dried out. I never popped any of my pimples because I was scared of getting ice pick scars.

As I got older my pimples got worse and worse , maybe because my eating habits and stress from school tripled. OH THE  COLLEGE LIFE ! 

Till now I still continue to get pimples and I have no idea how to get rid of them. I have seriously tried everything . The only thing that works for me is benzoyl peroxide 10% but, I think my skin is becoming immune to the medication.  

So I wanted to start this blog, to record my experience with new products .  From now on I would like to record each item I use on my face and do a before and after picture in order to see if the product actually does work. 

Anyways here are some pictures of my acne scars and active pimples.


I sharpened the picture so you guys can see my huge pores 
Close up side burns eekkk. I'm really hairy , I hate it.  Am I related to BIG FOOT? hmm lol 
Do you guys have any advice,experience or tricks? If you do feel free to message me or drop a comment below.

# 2 How to make NYC polish last long


Hello , my invisible friends


Today I wanted to discuss about NYC polishes


Cheap,affordable polishes that everyone have  purchased at least once in their lives wishing that it would do wonders for their buck. 

I actually have 8  polishes from NYC 
111,112,118,126,130,131,139,271

My favorite shades are  111,131,and 271 

I hate the consistency of these polishes but, the colors are buildable.

This is how I use these polishes to make them last a very long time up to three weeks or more.

I call it the glitter trick. 
I love glitters, it fixes everything.



What do you guys think about NYC polish? Do you like them, would you re purchase or recommend them to others?

#1 Welcome



Hello my non existent blog. I use to fill you with words and thoughts but, every time I get annoyed, I delete all of my entries. Anyways starting today I am going to try to blog three times a week and blog useful entries.

TO my future readers if I gain any,
Hello!

My name is Rea, I am 21 years old as of now but I opened this blog ever since I was 13. I use to write my deep secrets here and one time I did reviews on beauty products. But, I tend to get lazy and my PMS starts acting up and I suddenly have the urge to remove and delete everything so I can start over.




So today, at this moment I would like to make a promise to myself and re enter this journey of the blogging without quitting after a month. Like many Korean actress say , AJA FIGHTING !!! or like in the American saying " You can do it or STOP Procrastinating REA".
