FINALLY!

It's 3 o'clock in the morning on a MONDAY SCHOOL MORNING! But I couldn't sleep because I was just too excited about FINALLY posting this video that I've been telling myself to make for a few months now.

It's kind of ridiculous how long it took me to get around to it. I was writing out my goals for the future on facebook and in my "if all else fails plan", this blog and videos were a part of that. They are a way for me to make connections and learn more about a field I'm interested in and might dive into. I decided I need to keep my future plans in mind in all that I do. Have that "focus", you know? And instead of doing that, I waste a lot of time not doing anything.



I am an afficionado of editting. I pay attention to how things are editted and I always dream of having well editted videos. So what did you think? This is the first time I can watch a beauty video of mine without cringing so much, haha

I made this video (and more to come) because I feel that Michelle Phan is so popular and has a responsibility of... delivering good information. And sometimes she doesn't. Not hating on her, but sometimes she doesn't. So I made these videos to give people an alternative way to look at things.

Rohto Eyedrop Review

Hm! So, I've been hearing a lot about these "Rohto" japanese eye drops. My roommate had a free sample of the green "cool" version. I had to test them!

I must say... these drops are AMAZING. I was feeling very sleepy. My eyes felt drowsy and heavy from studying. These drops wake them up right away! You have got to get these drops, especially if you're a student!

Yes, it did tingle a lot when I put them in. You know that feeling you get when you chew spearmint gum? Imagine your eyes are chewing their own version of freshening gum. That's what it feels like. Yes, it burns, but its not painful. Again, imagine the gum thing. Sometimes when you first bite the gum, the mint feeling is INTENSE and then after a few moments, it dies down. This is the same thing. Its spearmint gum for your eyeballs.

Really wakes you up and keeps your eyes from feeling like crap for a nice while. You can use it UP to 4 times a day.



Ahem... so consider me "on the bandwagon". ;)

New Stuff to Try!

Okay, so I've vowed to stop getting stuff because I always end up not liking them or not using them. But these are important...! And they finally arrived. And all of them (except the Maca) were free!

I didn't even ask Live Live & Organic to send me these. It is an eye/lip cream and a facial mask. Yes, well be using. Will make a video review. :)

Now, this is the item that I had my eyes set on. Skinfood. Supposedly, this is the ultimate moisturizer.

Whoo! I got my MACA, baby! It smells like wheat graham crackers. I can't wait to start taking this every-day. The pill is small and very swallow-able. I'm so excited! I'm ready to have a lot of energy and a more shapely body. And balanced hormones for once in my life!

This came with the MACA. It looks great for a day when I'm feeling a bit sick.

So, I plan to make a video review of these things some time in October. On another note, I am trying to make myself set aside an hour of where I just get ready for bed. This is supposed to give me time to wash my face, take my vitamins and plan my next day. I often just wait until I am too sleepy and pass out on my bed. Sleep-time is the best time to put vitamins and topical stuff on your body because your body is doing the most re-genitive work at that time.

Organic Moisture, Cholesterol, ORS Serum

As you should know, I LOVE natural cures and supporting small businesses. Well, I came across this link:

http://www.highonhealth.org/the-best-moisturizer-for-acne-prone-skin-bee-yummy-skinfood™/


Sounds fantastic, doesn't it? I cannot wait to get my hands on this stuff! However, 2 oz is $30! Yikes!

I used a Cholesterol treatment for the first time. It is pretty good. It left my hair feeling naturally soft! Works much better than ORS Mayo did for me. However, I am concerned about the ingredients:
The one I am using in particular contains mineral oil, petroleum, AND lanolin. And various alcohols.

*sigh* However, Cholesterol does have great affects on me. Hopefully I can find an all natural version of this. Note: Lekair's cholesterol only has Mineral Oil. Lesser of the two evils?

Ow, ow, ow! I just used ORS Fertilizing Serum for the first time. OWW! I put it on area that aren't exactly balding. This stuff ITCHES!!! I am never putting it anywhere else on my head again. I didn't realize how much more potent the serum would be versus the temple balm. I'm excited. I hope this means fantastic growth on my temples.



>_< Oh crap! It burns, man. Ow, ow...! Big mistake!

Hair Wish List

I said I wanted to go natural when it comes to beauty and hair care. But at this moment, I don't have time or freedom to experiment as much as I want. Give me a few more years. :/ For example, coconut milk is about the BEST conditioner I have ever used in my life... but after 3 days, it goes bad.

But in the mean time, I am going to experiment with the products I have while I wait for them to finish, here is my wish-list of what I will purchase when they run out.

Aveda deep conditioner - $24
Aphogee Pro-Vitamin Leave-in
Aphogee Green Tea
Aphogee 2 step protein + balancing moisturiser

Mmmm.... I think that's it. I need to come up with an actual hair regime that I can say "This is what I do and when I do it..."

EDIT

I bought the whole Aphogee line minus the shampoo because it contains sulfate. I didn't buy the Aveda because I am going to try CHOLESTOROL instead. Its cheaper. *hopes it works*
