SoCal
It was freakin hot today; 93 degrees, and it’s only the beginning of Spring! Only in California will you feel like you’re roasting in an oven, yet see the snow on the nearby mountains at the same time. Crazy.

March Madness
I know March is almost over, but I just had to paint my nails green today. I love the opaqueness of this polish!

Lauren Conrad for Kohl's
The beautiful LC from The Hills and Laguna Beach teamed up with Kohl’s to bring some cute clothes and shoes for this spring. I never buy anything from Kohl’s, but I decided to check out her shoe collection.
I found these super cute pair of black suede platform heels on sale. They were literally the last ones left (the displays) so I was able to talk my sales associate to giving...

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge
I love the quality of Bobbi Brown products, and this is no exception. What is a Pot Rouge? It’s a rich pigmented cream that could be used for lips and cheeks. I love the fact that when I’m in a hurry I could just throw the pot in my bag and always have it available to touch up my cheeks and lips, which are always the first to disappear throughout the day.
I learned from the lovely...

A Fun Week With My Mama.
For finals week, my mom decided to come visit me & the hubby in California for the first time. Although I was up to my ears in studying & stress, I was so glad she came. She cooked us breakfast lunch and dinner everyday and cleaned the entire house while she was here. Here’s what we did during study breaks:
Toured beloved university & the adjunct hospital (which I would love to...

Dolce Vita Lace Up Boots
I know it’s officially Spring, and I know no one is fathoming the idea of purchasing boots right now, but I have found an amazing pair of Dolce Vita lace up boots I just had to share:
Lace up boots were really in this past season, and I like how these are a combination of that and combat boots. The pointy toe adds a more feminine touch to the boots. The gold zipper makes them easy to...

Cross-Body Messenger Bags
These are really in this season, and can be found almost anywhere. I feel in love with one (of several) at H&M:
I love the gold details on the bag, and the overall faded leather look. H&M had several different messenger bags in a variety of colors all for under $25. I almost (just almost) bought the striped one pictured below (#4):
1 Marc by Marc Jacobs
2 Mulberry
3 Nina Ricci

Yves Saint Lauren: Faux Cils Luxurious Mascara
This is my makeup luxury item. Although it does not will never compare to the amazingness of Diorshow, I will admit it is an excellent mascara. The amount of volume this baby gives you in one stroke is outrageous. I can see why it has reached the “award winning” status.
However, it smells strongly like perfume. I don’t have a problem with that at all, but I don’t see the...

100th post!
Horray! What can be better than posting a picture of myself to celebrate? I kid, I kid.
I actually did my own makeup for this photo (it was for my “trash the dress” photoshoot) and I’m rather pleased at how well it photographed. I used the complete Makeup Forever HD line. I also did this same look for my Boudoir photoshoot which I posted earlier.
And that adorable veil was...

Dolce Vita for Target
Dolce Vita made a shoe collection specifically for Target, and I had no idea?! I have always loved Dolce Vita’s super cute leather wedges. Unfortunately they are way above my budget for a pair of sandals, so when I saw them at Target I almost screamed! I ended up snatching one of the last pairs of brown rope wedges in my size. LOVE these!
Wedges: $29.99.

Almond Jelly is my weakness...
I didn’t know what it was until I moved to California and my Asian friends introduced me to it. Now everytime I go for some frozen yogurt, almond jelly toppings are a must.
A classmate of mine graciously gave me a box for me to bring my addiction to my own kitchen. We finally bought some whole milk (we only drink soy milk), and since I have caught a terrible cold, I needed something sweet...

My Mac Pigment Collection
From the left: Heritage Rouge, Vanilla, Purple, and Museum Bronzed.
When I first saw a pigment bottle I thought, what the heck is that? Now that I know what it is, I think I don’t own enough.
Pigments are highly concentrated loose colour powders that contain ingredients to help them adhere to the skin. They do not streak nor cake. They are incredibly easy to blend and are...

Dear Grad School,
I think your tests are hard, your assignments are insane, your lecture notes are never ending, and your grading sucks.
I studied hard, I memorized all those chemical structures and metabolites, I knew what I was talking about, why then do you still insist on kicking my butt?! Seriously, it feels like no matter how hard I study I always end up with the same grade.
My brain is completely fried. I...
