Copy-paste from my Facebook status feeds

Whenever I try to type my fiancé’s name in Korean, my smartphone tries to auto-correct it to “battery”. It seems iPhones do this as well. Dad on KakaoTalk: It looks like I don’t have Battery’s name saved here. Dad on KakaoTalk: I meant Battery, not Battery

How a Bridal Expo Taught Me Something About Myself

Over the weekend, I had the displeasure of visiting my very first (and absolutely the last) bridal expo. It seemed silly to spend money to go to a place where vendors are asking you to spend more money, like paying to watch commercials. Also, I’m paying to GIVE them my personal information, which seems like [...]

2012: A Recap

Wonderful memories were made in 2012 and I look forward to making more in 2013. One of the greatest ways the Internet has contributed to my life is all the wonderful friends I’ve made. These are friends I would never have met if not for the world wide web and some of them have become [...]

Influenster Spring VoxBox: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Review

I was chosen to test Influenster’s Spring VoxBox and, this time around, I’m super impressed with what they sent me. The first thing I tested out was the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. And then I inhaled the SoyJoy. Mmm. Okay, back to the nail strips. For an at-home nail color job, [...]

Before & After: Neutral Eyes, Coral Lips and Peachy Cheeks FOTD

Came across these pictures I must have taken a couple months ago, judging by the lack of color in my hair. Before After I’ve been using a the neutral colors sent to me by I Heart Colors quite a bit lately. I did some illustration work for the owner of the site and she sent [...]

Boost your mascara power with Essence Volumizing Lash Powder

It’s not like I’m hiding behind thick curtains and screaming, “DON’T LOOK AT ME!!!” just because my lashes are so short and barely visible even in macrophotography. I definitely have lash envy, however, and will not consider my makeup complete without a really good fiber mascara or false lashes to make my eyes pop more. [...]

just a little fitness update for myself

End of January, I weighed in at 143. I was back to square one. A year’s worth of progress from working out and dieting was flushed down the drain from the following half-year of sloth and gluttony. December, I joined a CrossFit gym but it wasn’t until March that I could go in regularly. There [...]

Burnt Umber Ombre Nails

Recently, I shared The Beauty Department’s ombre nails tutorial on my Facebook page. I finally had the chance to try it out myself but ALAS I tend to avoid shopping for similar nail polish colors and that totally bit me in the ass this time around!! I do have a short spectrum of neutral and [...]

Cannon Beach and Seaside: How Oregonians Enjoy the Coast

I love it when the fiancé gets spontaneous. Neither of us are that good at being spontaneous but when he does step up, it makes for an amazing time. I always worry that I might not be able to remember every detail of every happy moment I’ve spent with him because I have such a [...]

Sliver of Silver

Man, Trixie is one sexy silver foil. You really have to hand it to Zoya for making such perfect shades that seem to hit your color cravings at just the right spot. By itself it can be too festive for my usual look, which is the between-the-gym-and-grocery-store soccer mom look D: (I really have let [...]
