Nice Weather

I'll start this off with... "omg, the weather has been SO nice!" It's been in the upper 60s to 80F degrees for the past half a week or so, and looking at the forecast, it seems like it will continue to be wonderful! Because of the pleasant weather, I went out and took some pics of my newer ball jointed doll, Cerelia (a Bobobie March). Here's a couple of the pictures:

I also recently purchased some face care products, both involving foam~! One is Acne Free's Oil-Free All-Day Acne Control Leave on Foam.

Product description:

"Acne Free Clear Skin Treatments Oil Free All-Day Acne Control, contains 5% Continuous Release Micro-Benzoyl Peroxide Leave on Foam. Shine Control 12 hour clearing. Non Sticky. Fast absorbing. Kills 99% of acne bacteria on contact and keeps working for up to 12 hours."

It's nice because it features a pump and the product comes out as a foam! It also has 5% micro benzoyl peroxide. Regular bp tends to feel kind of grainy, but this goes on very nicely and smoothly, so it doesn't make my makeup look funny. 5 stars~!

The other product is Noxema's Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash. 

Product description:

"Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash, created specially for Adult skin, deep cleans to help treat and prevent blemishes while restoring skin's moisture balance.  Skin is left beautifully clear and feeling moisturized."

I love this foaming wash so far! The smell is sweet, almost like something berry-ish? This wash is excellent at removing my makeup, so many other ones I've tried have left some makeup residue on my face. This one also leaves my face feeling moisturized. I also like how this wash is formulated for adults with blemishes/acne. 5 stars, I love this cleanser.

So far I have been using both products for about a week, and my face looks a lot smoother and I seem to be having less breakouts.

I'll leave some photos here of my past week or two~ (which has been very busy and tiresome, lol.)

Mm, OFK's strawbery aloe drink. Served up in a retro Care Bear glass (seriously, it's from the 80s pizza hut promo, my aunt gave this glass to me~!) I've also been drinking the peach and mango varieties~ Aloe drink =

Hibachi chicken with steamed rice and veggies from a local Japanese restaurant~

Spur of the moment nail polish.

Chocolate horn/coronet I got on the left, and a cannoli (I think?) that my dad got at the local international market. The coronet was sooooo good. 

Anyway, that's it for this post. Now I should go shower and possibly take a walk while it's so beautiful out~! (My birthday is tomorrow, too! )

Job and reviews

I haven't blogged in awhile because I've been busy since I recently got a job~! I've been trying to get one for a long time now. The economy has been bad though so it has been really hard for a lot of people to find a job. I'm a cashier, whoo.


Me in my interview outfit

So far it's been tough because I work 8 hour days for the most part, 4 days a week. Today I only work four later on. It's not just standing and cashiering all day long though, it's also lifting heavy objects for customers. I end up feeling so tired at the end of the day.  In any case, it's great to finally have a job~! I work on my birthday though (3/20).

Which reminds me...my birthday! I can't believe that I will be 22 in less than 2 weeks. People are always shocked enough to hear that I'm 21, they always think I'm so much younger.  笑 I have no idea what I'm going to do for my birthday...probably just hang out with my close group of friends~

Anyway, I bought a few things recently, I guess I'll review them~!


First up, Vaseline's Moisturizing Bath Beads enriched in Silk Protein. I got the "Soft Petal" fragrance. 
From the back of the box:

"Step into a luxuriously fragrant bath experience that softens your skin. Emerge with a relaxed body and renewed spirit. The romantic soft petal scent combines hints of rose, tuberose, and gardenia. Vaseline Intensive Care Moisturizing Bath Beads soften and condition your skin through a Silk Protein enriched formula that also contains a special Skin Softening Complex."

I liked that these bath beads are very affordable. I can't remember exactly how much they were when I got them a few weeks ago, but something like 2-3 dollars. The scent is lovely too! I even poured a small amount into a small cup as a potpourri-type of thing for my room. It smells so good. It definitely has a nice floral smell with hints of rose. It definitely leaves your skin feeling nice and soft! It didn't change the water color though. You can get this at many places such as Walmart.

I also bought Pond's new bio-hydratante dual cleansing lotion. According to the bottle it is dermatologist-tested, won't clog pores, and is hypoallergenic. I use it to remove makeup and moisturize my face. I have acne-prone skin and this hasn't seemed to give me any breakouts. At first when you apply it, it feels pretty oily, but then after a few minutes it drys and your skin feels soft and smooth without any oily feeling! It removes makeup wonderfully. It is also very cool to look at in the bottle, because the upper clear liquid must be some sort of oil, and the lower part is a water-based liquid. I will get this again!
