No beauty... Just food

Hi everybody!
I am pummeled under work so I haven't been able to take pictures of beauty-related things but I wanted to post something today.  So I thought I'd share with you some foooooood pictures.  Looking at these make me hungry again haha.  I'll see you guys later!

P.S.: Why is real life so hard ?!?! I miss blogging! Feels like I haven't blogged in forever.

JUUUUNK FOOD GAME.

I am NOT a summer person. I'm more of a fall/winter person, I seriously cannot stand the humidity. But now I'm indoors and waiting for my dad to bring home dinner! He brings home dinner from work about once a month and I always look forward for it!

Today's post will be JUNK FOOD. YEAH! LOL. I was going through my pictures and I realized that I take a lot of pictures of food and they're all well, junk food. WHY are most tasty things so unhealthy?

By the end of the meal, I can only thank my Asian genes. Pft, people make fun of Asians for being short or flat (which is not true) but we fatten and age slower (for the most part)!!

Get ready for a heart attack, guys. And no, I did not have this in one day LOL. I'd love 5 meals/day of junk food LOL.

Ok. Now try to guess what they are. Some are obvious but some, not so much.
The prize will be this *SURPRISE COLOR :p * Essie nail polish I have as an unwanted duplicate because I'm an idiot. Two winners :) , if I have more than one participant LOL.
Number them in order and.. guess as many correct! :p Ends whenever it is that I post again.. whenever that may be.

A Birthday Post :) + Soda Addiction :(

First and foremost I apologize for being away for nearly a month! It's because I started summer classes so I can graduate early :P I plan on doing one every break so I can *hopefully* graduate in 3 years :)

Classes are pretty difficult, most likely because it IS a 6 week course (4x a week) so the class is a bit rushed. But it's not that bad, I didn't take difficult classes to begin with.

Tomorrow is my birthday! I'm so glad I don't have classes Fridays, it would have been the first summer EVER to be in school for my birthday. But to be honest, I was always a little jealous of kids who had birthdays during the school year and then their parents would come and we would have a little party! I never got to do that when I was younger but it's definitely not something I want to do in college LOL.

So for my birthday, my parents got me a new wallet (like I've said before, I have a crazy/unsafe/unhealthy addition for wallets). Here's my baby!



Not a very good picture :| and I shouldn't have opened the envelope before the picture! I always suck at remembering these things LOL.
But yeah, my parents do spoil me. It has always been like that since I was young, I was always their priority and it helps (or does it not?) that I am an only child. But to be fair, they are my priority as well but um.. this was a nice surprise for me. Sometimes I get teary thinking about it because they're quite frugal when it comes to their things but when it comes down to me, they really aren't frugal at all lol. Just a lot of giving back I need to do when I'm older.

Also, does anyone else like soda :(? I LOVE soda even though I know for a FACT that it's so unhealthy =( The longest I can go is about a week, that is IF I'm super determined, and it's just so bad. I don't eat chips or candy (I do chew sugar free gum though) but I can't get rid of my soda habits, especially if I'm having an oily meal (which is bad as it is). Seltzer water tastes so bad I can't drink it! Someone save me or else I won't have teeth left when I'm 70 T_T

Mom, Angry, Omelette Rice, NANA's B - SHINee BB Cream

This entry was never published, was supposed to be published Saturday! :(

*Today kinda sucks so far even though it's only 30 minutes past noon :( I woke up to a nice big zit on my cheek, it's under the skin too. HUGE (literally -- it almost looks like a bad bug bite...) and under the skin. It's going to take forever for it to go away =( It's sore as well.. ugh so bad why do zits exist!??! Andddd my mama was mad at me (we rarely EVER fight and it really was not my fault today) so... overall a horrible morning. I decided I'd leave her alone because I know everyone has those angry days lol. But just now my mom walked into my room with this



so we automatically made up :) It's her omelette with an Asian twist? lolol.



And if you were curious, under the egg! Fried rice with mushroom, spinach, shrimp, shredded squid, carrot.

Speaking of my zit, I wanted to do a review of NANA's B - SHINee's BB cream. I know everrryone does reviews on them but I don't see so many on this particular one.
For starters, it was made by LG's personal care laboratory and Korean boy group SHINee endorsed it. It has SPF 20 so a separate sunblock is not necessary but it wouldn't hurt I think. Some of my other BB creams have like SPF 45, so 20 isn't that high at all. Apparently they use "Angel's tear" a natural phytosubstance that prevents and eases troubled skin. It is also recommended for adolescent skin.

Where to buy: http://yeppeunsonyuh.com/ (legitimate US/NYC seller - but she's going to Korea soon!)

Price: USD$19, +$2 shipping (which is really cheap by the way), or free with a purchase of $30. All international orders are $5 regardless of amount! And she accepts cash/money order for those who don't use paypal.

I compared it to my Lioele - Beyond the Solution BB cream. And this is where the pros/cons took place.

PROS:
-Very light, almost mousse-like texture. It's actually kind of hard to call it a "cream" it feels much lighter than that.
-Blends easily.
-It has a very subtle scent, subtle enough not to bother me but also subtle enough for me to enjoy it. It smells quite nice actually. Not floral-y or too fruity.
-It does have SPF 20 so you're not completely unprotected from the sun.
-Of course, the pretty boys of SHINee.
-CUTE/SLEEK PACKAGING *O* I'm a sucker for cute packaging!
-They have a list of names of the teenagers/young adults who apparently took place in the laboratory studies on the side of the box, which I think is respectable!
-No white cast!

CONS:
-As you will see below, it is extremely light and I think it only comes in one shade, if not there probably aren't many other. I'm pretty sure this is the only shade as it does not indicate WHICH shade it is.
-Because it's light, I don't think many people can use it. I didn't have a particular problem with it because I am pretty pale but coverage is VERY light.
-My bottle was new but it had quite a bit of air in it. I don't really like how you have to squeeze it out either, wish there was a pump! They probably filled it with air BECAUSE you need to squeeze it out and they probably didn't want the cream to explode out on the first use. But still, air is.. air.
-Considering it was designed for acne skin, I don't think it did much to help my acne. But it didn't harm me either!

So here's the packaging, pretty sleek right?



And the list of participants as I mentioned before.



Pretty boys LOL. SHINee!



The actual bottle itself.



The side. I really REALLY REALLLLY like the packaging! I loveee Korean beauty product package :D 99.9% of the time, they are absolutely adorable.



So here 1) I spelled the SHINee part wrong hahah sorry about that. 2) I compared it to my lieole beyond the solution BB cream which I use everyday! Lieole isn't even that dark to start off with, so you can really see how much lighter the SHINee one is.



I .. can't explain the bad lighting. BUT you can still see that the NANA's B BB cream is still very light!
Repurchase?: No.

Overall: 3.5/5 (But I'm a hard grader!)

So yeah, that's about it! Hope this helps if you were interested in this particular bb cream at all :)

PS. I want a new camera (DSLR) and my birthday is coming up! From all the saved paychecks/previous Christmas money from my Uncle & Aunt, I think I can buy a camera AND have some money left over! Should I?!...... dun dun dun I don't know. I get so scared when I need to spend a lot of money LOL.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with yeppensonyuh in any way. I purchased the BB cream with my own money and my opinions are of course 100% my own.

Eating Habits

*I did not take this photo, credits to owner!

Hi guys! I actually have another package that came in but I'm saving that for another day. What I'm interested in today is: your eating habits! What do you usually eat?

I, for one, do not purposely only eat healthy foods -- I eat healthy foods if it tastes good in my mouth (for example, I don't eat broccoli no matter how healthy it is) but I mean, I do try to avoid foods like chips and fast food because I know that it's really unhealthy. And they make me feel weird after I eat it. So I'll have an occasional McDonalds or a small bag of chips but I always see so mannnnnnnnny skinny skinny skinny girls (00-0) and I always wonder what they eat... I'm sure metabolism comes into play but I'm pretty sure that's not all of it.

I usually have 2-3 meals a day. My diet consists most of brown rice because white rice is actually really unhealthy for you. So I have 1/2-3/4 of a bowl of brown rice in the morning, a full bowl for lunch and half an optional half bowl for dinner w/ side dishes. I think it's the only way I can maintain my health ._.

So, how are your meals like?
