Nolgastic.

Days like these I can't help to think back to the summer...

Driving around the city with the Unnie..
 
Relaxing days laying on the grass watching life pass by..

Fresh breaths of the ocean breezeee...

Long conversations over boba..

I feel like it's been so long.. 
I am always amazed by how much I miss you when I'm gone.
Can't wait to see you again in the winter, Boston.

REVIEW: Ultra Repair Cream by First Aid Beauty

HIHI
(freakishly white photo due to work lighting~~kk)
How's everyone been?!?
I've been crazy busy these days for reasons I can't release on my blog due to stalkers and people from my past who have no lives keke~
Let's just say its good and it has to do with my career puahahaha~~



First of all.
Let's start by saying I have been having the worst time with my skin in my whole life.
No exaggerations.
I have never had any skin problems really except a pimple here and there up until last fall.
My skin has become so bad that sometimes my face hurts and feels extremely itchy. I actually feel so depressed and self contentious about it ~
I have been trying so many things to help my skin but half of the things seem to make it worse.

I tried proactiv for awhile and that just made my skin break out even worse. I think the chemicals were too strong perhaps? Even my favorite skincare line Laneige was breaking me out...My skin is just SUPER SENSITIVE..

There is one thing on this journey I have found that has been helping sooo much. I bought this product about a month ago. At first I was so weary from buying all these different products that never helped so I didn't really expect much from this and just bought it to try out then return if I wasn't satisfied.. I was totally wrong I saw results within a few days !!

H&M haul


Hiii everyone ♥♥♥
Hope everyone's weekend went well!
I actually escaped from work this weekend and went to shopping~
I met up with my family @ Chau Chow City for Dim Sum
After we were done eating I hit up the H&M on Newbury St @ Bought a few items~
I am too lazy to take pics so here's one dress that I got..
(images from H&M website)


I also got a straw hat, some floral sneakers, and a plain black blazer..
Perhaps I will post those later when I am not lazy.. key word: perhaps~




Keke I also found one of my favorite pillows of all-time last night~
It's a panda pillow from Areaware, Fauna collection..
They are based from NYC and have some really cool designs!



Work is really stressing me out lately.. It makes me want to give up on my dreams but I will not.. FIGHTING ~~

I hope everyone is feeling better than I have been feeling lately..



Take care until Next time!!

hair cut

(i don't know why but i always suck at photography of my FACE -__-)




I finally got my hair cut this weekend.
After neglecting it for almost 4 months it became EXTREMELY long..
To the point where people thought I was wearing extensions..
Not only that but it was a bit unhealthy at the ends because the previous two times I cut my hair I only got it styled and didn't get the ends trimmed >.<
So this time she cut off a lot to start fresh!
I don't mind though because my hair grows super fast!



I was actually recommended to go to this place by a fellow blogger, Pink, because I was really not satisfied with my past hair stylist down the street..

I love this place!
I've come back again, and again, and again, and again!
I get my hair washed, massaged, cut, washed again, and styled for $30.
This is usually all happens in under 30 mins too!

Retail Therapy

Instead of celebrating today's "HOLIDAY"... I went to the mall with my bff ^__^

I decided to treat myself to a little because I totally deserve it.
Working 7 days a week and usually 12 hours a day can get a little tiring *DEAD*





I couldn't even find what brand these shoes were, it just had a CROWN logo on the base of the shoe and on the box it said "MISS AMERICA" hm...??

FOUR inch heels made of LEATHER& wood. ahhh luxurious.




This picture does not do this purse any justice.
It's freaking adorable!




I literally hated the keychain for my keys so I picked up this choooo kawaiiiiiiii stitch keychain at the disney store.

COME'ON... we never get too old for DISNEY!




Take care until Next time!!
With love, Nana*♥

M.I.A.

I am not dead ^___^

I have been totally M.I.A.
Not only from the internet but from life in general



In this time I have mostly learned a lot about well, LOVE!
Girls (and guys) out there... here are some important things to know:

  • Any guy who claims himself to be "the best boyfriend" is probably quite the opposite. If they were the best boyfriend they would already be in a good relationship that actually had lasted. DUH...
  • People throw around the word "LOVE" easily. This is something I don't really understand but have noticed happens FARRRRR too often.
  • LOVE YOURSELF... You need to be 100% fine on your own before jumping into any relationship.. I mean, how can you give a part of yourself away when you are not whole to begin with?
  • Don't LOOK for love. You need to be friends with someone and get to know them for a long period of time before dating. How can you really "love" someone you don't completely know?!
What a random post haha.



I will be updating more often with my usual stuff ♥



Take care until Next time!!
With love, Nana*♥
