Small update (jk not small )

Hello there !

I'm sorry for not updating much, I've sort of been focusing on school lately. My grades have really been bothering me the past few weeks. u____u""Chemistry is just gosh darn so hard with my teacher. T__T Luckily I did very well on my recent test. yaaay ! I cannot wait for the school year to end. only a few more months!

I made my bud Franco kawaii in math

 So lately I haven't had time to bake or go out and do much and when I do do something I always forget to take pictures to blog about it :x silly me.

caught him slippiiinn

breakfast at Orphans. mmm

 One of our friends ( our as in my siblings and I ) is going to bootcamp ? for the marines I believe. Something of that sort for a few months. He decided to have a party at John's Incredible Pizza haha. I hadn't been there in a long time and I had way more fun than I thought I would ! I really could not contain my excitement as we went through the arcade. It only lasted about an hour and a half though. Some of the machines weren't even paying out when I won the jackpots several times ! stupid things. The prizes were also SUPER MAJORLY LAME. like wow. Everyone there pretty much gave their tickets to us and we had about 1500 total. so basically all together we spent around $50 for 1500 tickets and a $10 nerf gun was like 1200 tickets. everything cost so many tickets !

We ended up getting a few chinese finger traps, a plastic boomerang, these rolled up paper things you flick at people, and 1 I repeat ONE  plush boxing glove. We were just like so does that prize include two gloves or one and he's just like one. ugh. super lame prizes. About the boomerang though, we went to a grocery store afterwards and I brought it in hoping I could test it out a bit. One of our friends asks to see it and throws it hard and it lands in the shelves and we couldn't find it again. ( /___-)

my brother and ken the night before he left

last picture before he left!

Oh! So yesturday was Valentines day, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ! I made small heart shaped brownies covered with like fudge for people and drew on them with white chocolate. I even hid one in the classroom for one of them and left them a note to find it. He was thrilled with the surprise. It was actually really last minute though. I had an extra brownie lol shhhh. I received nothing that day. ty very much friends. thanks

Also had lunch with my brother at a park. 

I've been in a very bummy mood lately. I really would like to eat bubblegum ice cream :T haven't had it in yeaars. Well I hope things get better soon. Some family from L.A are coming to visit this weekend. I'm not nearly as excited as I should be.

Until next time !

Hada Labo Review

Hello ! Today I'll be reviewing two Hada Labo products : Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion ( right ) & Hydrating Milk ( Left ). I purchased these off of Amazon.com.

So last year I started hearing a lot about the company Hada Labo and how it's super popular in Japan and how a bottle of lotion sells every 4 seconds. At that time, I was beginning to get interested in asian brand cosmetics and Hada Labo seemed like a good company to try out.

So first is the Moisturizing Lotion.

 

 In Japan and other asian countries, lotion means toner. The texture is pretty much like water but slightly sticky I guess. It comes in a bottle and I just shake out a few drops on my hand before patting it onto my face. After I got a hang of how much I needed for my face, it was absorbed quickly and my face felt fresh and slightly hydrated afterwards. I use this after I wash my face and before I use my moisturizer. I feel like it helps my skin absorb other products after I put it on, so I use it before doing masks too ((: Plus it doesn't break me out.

I'll give this a  5/5

Next is the Hydrating Milk.

this is like 1 drop for me btw

The texture is like... imagine slightly thick, sticky milk I guess ? haha. It looks white when its all together like that, but when you spread it its clear. This also comes in a bottle and I usually use 2-4 drops for my entire face. When I first pat it in it makes my face feel oily and gross, but after like 30 seconds its completely absorbed and my face feels so soft and supple *O* I really like this moisturizer. It's very light, doesn't feel heavy or oil when absorbed into my face, and doesn't cause me to break out.

I give this a  5/5

My siblings use Cetaphil as their moisturizer and sometimes I take a liittle bit and pat it on parts of my face that still need hydrating. One time I decided to try using only the Cetaphil lotion to compare it to the Hada Labo Milky lotion. The Cetaphil lotion felt heavy and oily on my skin and the next day I got a pimple on my nose lol .

Overall, I think these are great products. I think they have really helped smooth and hydrate my skin. Before, my skin was dry, oily, and my nose was flaking and peeling a LOT. My change in face wash and exfoliator helped too though. I've been using them for about 8 months maybe ? and I'm almost out so I will be repurchasing soon ^___^ Although I think I will try the other types of lotion ( toner ) that Hada Labo has and keep using the Hydrating Milk.

In other news :
