My Skin Care Routine


                            IMG_3156

I found this cleansing facial wipes @ Target earlier last year. It was pretty affordable, so I decided to give it a try. I immediately fell in love after the first used. It removes every trace of makeup including waterproof mascara without over drying or causing redness. My face actually feel clean and fresh after using one wipe.

This is my 5th tube and I use this product everyday as my face wash, but it is actually an exfoliating mask. I only used a dime size to wash my face, rinse off with cold water and pat dry. It helps to keep my oily face under control, decreases my acne significantly.

Blackheads on the nose or little bitty pimples on the forehead can be really annoying. But thank goodness, this product does a great job taking care of this problem. I use these strips once a week on my nose and the area between the brows. It provides a thorough cleansing for my pores, easy to use and doesn't hurt to remove.

I have been using Clinique Clarifying Lotion for years and have never been disappointed. It cleans the rest of the excess oil and dirt off my face, leaving it a clean slate without feeling dry and tight. This is one of the steps I can't skip!!!!

This moisturizer is fabulous! It is lightweight and absorbed quickly, and feel amazing on the skin. I have tried the lotion version of this moisturizer and did not like it.

I experienced a really bad break out on my face and my back 2 years ago. I was on antibiotic for a few months but it did nothing. I finally went to see a dermatologic and she  prescribed Tretinoin Cream. It worked like magic! I saw the result within 2-3 weeks. My complexion is clearer, blemishes heal quicker, no irritation or peeling. For the first time in my life, my face is as smooth as a porcelain. This cream is pretty pricey but it last up to a year.

Thank you for reading.

New Year's Resolutions

√ Lose weight & stay fit. 
I've put on a lot of weight last year due to a minor back problems and frankly laziness. I am my own worst critic, and there's a little voice inside my head that tells me that I would never look good unless I shred off the extra weight. But I'm learning to adjust and i'm determine to live and lead a healthy lifestyle, so I would like to share some tips and welcome you all to take this journey with me.

√ Spend less and save more. 
I have been spoiled myself a little too much from the last year ;) It's time to start saving for the future. I'll start by putting aside a bit each month so my piggy bank will be filled at the end of the year.

 Accomplish my dreams, one step at a time. 
I am a dreamer, not a realist. But dreams are goals with a deadline. Write everything down!! Your dreams will continue to just be a dream if you don't put them in motion. So get moving!

New Year Glam

Screen Shot 2013-01-03 at 9.25.37 PM

I can't believe 2012 is already over. It was filled with so many unforgettable moments, trips, and memories. But I know 2013 will be as fabulous as I envision and hopefully prosperous, one thing that the new year has always taught is to expect the unexpected and give each day it's own merit.


My friends and I didn't plan anything for NYE, we've decided to just go with the flow :) but the best nights are always the spontaneous ones. I am a sweatpants and t-shirt kind of gal. But since it was NYE, I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and switch things up.
