Another day in Chinatown...
So today I went to eat in Chinatown with my grandparents, my uncle and my little brother, Brian. When the owner (whom i’ve met about 5 times already) came by our table, he asked my uncle “Oh, is this your girlfriend? (points at me)” ….”no i’m his niece”…… “ohhhhh ok. so is this your niece’s boyfriend?! (points to...
Great ways to treat a sore throat
Tea with honey. The honey will soothe your throat
Don’t drink anything too cold or too hot. Room temperature is ideal
Nothing too salty or too sugary. It will make your throat get more phlegm and dry it out even more
Boil a can of coke with ginger in it. If you have a cold, you will love the results. I do this every time I can get my hands on some coca-cola :)
Why am I saying this?...
Your pillow: what it might be doing to your...
Having a great pillow is essential for you when you sleep, but sometimes you might want to consider changing the fabric or washing it…here’s why:
1. Cotton Fabric Pillowcases
Whatever way you tend to sleep in terms of where your head is to your pillow (back of head to pillow, side of head to pillow…face to pillow), cotton pillowcases are not ideal for any part of your head....

Taken with photobooth during night time in my room. (Red lips totally makes me look whiter than I actually am. Not wearing any foundation at all by the way.)
Products used:

How to treat your pimple!
So I got a lot of likes/responses/”thank you’s” from my 20 facts post about where pimples come from, and I figured that you guys might want to know about how to get rid of them or cover it up now.
1. Sleep
2. Ice…this will cool down some of the swelling. When it’s really ripe, you want to make sure it doesn’t stick out like Rudolph. Take some ice and hold it...

WHY DO I HAVE DRY SKIN ?!?!
My face is always oily or it always feels perfectly hydrated. I drink lots of water, I don’t use warm water to wash my face and I’m always using moisturizer but my face still feels dry. What gives?
Its winter time. The time of year where there’s cold chilling winds and super dry air. This can dry out even your richest moisturizer if you’re outside long enough. Keep some...

Sunscreen=a MUST in daily skincare...Why?
BECAUSE THE SUN WANTS TO HURT YOUR SKIN
UV rays in the sun, particularly UVB rays and UVA rays are the ones that are out to get you. As you can see in the picture, UVA rays are the most deadly types, but you will only get skin cancer if you’re exposed to it very frequently (such as if you go to tanning salons monthly or live in a sunny place and go to the beach every week for years)
UVB...

night cream--Age: 40s-50s
40’s-50’s
This is when serums/essences come in handy PLUS a good night CREAM. By the way, serum=essence, in case anyone was confused. Using a wrinkle targeting serum will do wonders for your skin. Something like Shiseido Super Corrective Serum works well. (They claim you can see visible results within one week and major results in 3 weeks.) When you get to 40’s, wrinkle serums...

Night Cream--Age: 30's
30’s
Start using a night cream that targets towards fine lines. You want something that feels more rich and creamy in this case. When you hit your 30s, most, again MOST people who used to have oily skin don’t really have it anymore, and are left with skin that is just a little bit oily. This is why when you hit this age, pimples become a lot more scarce. Shiseido’s Bio...

Night cream--Age: 18-29
18-29
Start using a simple night cream that is targeted for just moisture. Depending on your skin type, dry/oily/sensitive, get the most basic night cream/emulsion. Emulsion is probably better because most of you probably don’t have mature wrinkles yet. (MATURE WRINKLES=DEEP LINES ON YOUR FACE THAT DO NOT GO AWAY AND ARE ACTUALLY VISIBLE FROM 5FT AWAY TO THE NAKED EYE). People tend to get a...

Exfoliators
The best type of exfoliator is one that can scrub away your dead skin, but keep it hydrated at the same time. Most exfoliators have issues with keeping your skin hydrated after scrubbing off that dead layer of skin, in fact, it can make it feel so dry that you feel as if you can’t move your face. The one I’m using right now is from Dr. Oasis called “White Peeling Gel”...

Make up remover
SO. Who here wears make up? Yes? No? How bout BB cream or another type of tinted moisturizer? Well. Anytime you wear make up, you must must must take it off before you wash your face. Otherwise, the build up of dirt (yes, that’s what make up is…dirt for your face) will get clogged in your pores, leading to BREAK OUTS. Trust me, I’ve experienced it before…let’s just...

MILK!!! Great with cookies AND your skin!!!
That’s right. MILK! You know, that stuff you drink when you go attack that box of chocolate chip cookies? Cookie monster would be so proud :)
Anyways, milk is actually great for your skin. It’s a natural exfoliant (not the kind that scrubs your dead skin, but more so starts to break down the dead skin that’s sitting on your face). It’s loaaaded with vitamin C and D,...

Skin types--Sensitive
Sensitive skin is the toughest type of skin care. You don’t want something that will cause your skin to break out, because an allergic reaction to a product can lead to scary results.
1. How do you know you have sensitive skin?
Well, you could always do a test. See what happens when you use a product with a strong fragrance in it…Does your skin feel itchy? Does it burn? This probably...

Skin Types--Oily/Combination
Ahhh the skin type that everyone on youtube seems to have…
Oily and Combination skin types are the most infuriating types that I have seen so far…Those annoying little bumps called PIMPLES just lovvvve to pop up wherever they feel like is the most noticable spot (aka the forehead, the tip of the nose, the chin or a big one right on your cheek.) Now, there’s a difference between...

Skin Types--Normal/Dry Skin
Normal/Dry
This is actually my own skin type. When people have normal to dry skin, their skin normally appears flawless, except for a few places where the skin could be peeling. People with Normal to Dry skin are MORE PRONE TO WRINKLES because wrinkles appear when the skin is dry and then doesn’t have anything to moisturize it to make it more flexible. Think about your lips during the...

BUT there’s always one thing that gets in the...
