Strawberries!

So This weekend is supposed to be nice and weather.com didn't lie. Today was the high 70's and a group of friend and I planned on going to pick strawberries @ Washington Farm :) 

We have never picked strawberries so this was all of our first time. 

It was super fun. You get a gallon bucket and you can fill up all you want as long as its not overloaded and the bucket is only $12 to fill up! How awesome was that?!

On the way! :D

 

My first pick!

 

The Strawberries were so fresh! 

outfit
Hat-AmericanEagle ($25?)/ romper-Forever 21 ($9)/ cross body purse- Foever21 ($20)/ shoes-Charming Charlies ($15?)

Picking through strawberries was fun other than my arms getting allergic reaction from the plants lol. And the strawberries were sweet! yes, we ate them right when we got home lol.

I think the next fruit picking that I want to do is Apple.

ciao~

Ideas for Mother's day

 

pink lips for spring! Can't believe its May already..

 

I can finally pin my bangs up and put my hair in a big bun. looovve it.

Anyways, Mother's day is coming in a little more than a week. What are your plans for mother's day? I am working all weekend that weekend (too many weekends in one sentence, eh?) My parents are not in the States at this time. My mom went back to Taiwan last year on Thanksgiving (?) to see my sister. She hasn't worked for a few years now due to shoulder problems and carpal tunnels. She came back for less than a month and then flew back again lol. Then my dad decided that he doesn't want to work here anymore because he has a constructions company and he is getting older, so he decided he wants to go back to Taiwan and start another career; Real Estate. Now, real estate is growing in Taiwan and he was an real estate agent before we all moved to the States. So, now... back to Mother's Day.

I think I will just have to order flowers online and mail it to my parent's place in Taiwan. It is kind of hard when they aren't here and shipping from here will be expensive. I've ordered flowers from Taiwan before and it works. Now, 

I want to buy this Birch Box Mother's Day special edition for my boyfriend's Mom.

 

limited-edition-in-full-bloom 

 $58

It looks great. it has a lot of stuff in this nice box. 

click the link to see what's in the box. 

Plus its free shipping. My boyfriend's mom has been super awesome to me and I always think about her and his dad when it comes to birthdays and holidays. I think she will be happy with this. 

Now I've also seen places like 

 

from Bath & Body Works

These are super cute as they come with the Tote that you choose and they are only $25!!! I don't think you can go wrong with buying hand soaps, body wash and candles for moms. 

• Things Remembered
• they have awesome necklaces/bracelets that you can engrave and give to your mom.
• Francesca's 

•  They have such cute gifts for mom's. click on their website for ideas.

There are so many ideas out there.Whether it's cosmetics, fragrance, clothing, accessories, or even kitchen stuff. I believe All Mothers will be happy to receive anything from their children.

Hair &makeup

I am working tonight and I dont know why I didn't stay in bed. Instead, I got up @ 12pm ate good protein breakfast (scramble eggs and turkey bacon) and I went to the gym. Today's workout was chest and tricep and I have to say.. I can barely lift up my arms right now lol.

Anyways, that's not what I was going to talk about. 

I wanna show you what I did to my hair and makeup for work tonight. 

Hair tutorial can be found on pinterest but I'll be nice and post it on here 

 I did it right after I blow dry my hair to almost dry, then I spray some sea salt spray, Big sexy hair texture spray and some regular hair spray.

Not too shabby for the first try. My hair is parted to the right so it was kind of hard for my to style the front but I did it.

 

On to make up.

I am still trying to figure out how to take pictures of my face to show my make up. I think its the lighting. 

Here's all the make up that I used. I got most of the stuff in my subscription box (Ipsy and whatnot).

Also always make sure to prime your face. I used a lot of moisturizer and even face oil for areas that are really dry. I tried out the City cream eye shadow that I got from my ipsy and I have to say, I really like the cream eyeshadow. I can pack on the color with layers and its super soft. 

What do you think?

Graze snacks!!

Hello All!!!

So in this blog I am going to talk about another monthly, well this one can be weekly or biweekly, subscription. It is called Graze Snacking. You can take a quiz and see what kind of snacks you like or would like to try. So far, I've liked them all. I have changed from biweekly to weekly and comes in 4 different little snacks. There are three different types of boxes.
Nibble box: basically all different kinds of snacks will be in this box for you to try.

Calorie Counter Box: You got this right. anything from 50-150 calories in the snack boxes. Pretty nic.

Boost box: this box comes with 8 snacks rather than 4.

I have the Nibble box because I wanted to try it out originally, I am now thinking maybe Boost box would be better since I snack quite a bit. 

So this is how it looks~

 

Package tells you what it is!

 This is how it looks like inside! i love the little packaging and pictures that are inside the box.

So I 've got

Hot cross yum. 

(also if you are allergic to certain nuts or whatnot, you can let them know)

 I love bringing these snacks to work because if we get busy, then there's really no time to heat up your food, you just have to nibble on whatever you have. So these are great!!

I think each box is like $9 and free shipping. 

I just want to also have a disclaimer here, I am not advertising these because they paid me. I am doing this out of fun and sharing what I know. Also, I am a blogger. So this is what I do.

Ipsy-April Review

So before I post pictures of the Ipsy products that I got yesterday, I have to say, USPS lost my package for April. So I was going to received my April Ipsy bag about 2 weeks ago. I kept checking the tracking and it said delivered. So finally I e-mailed Ipsy customer service and they were great and said they would send me another bag. However, it wouldn't be the same products that I was supposed to get because they were limited on the stuff they have in stock. I was fine with it but came to realize that I really was hoping for the products that were in the lost bag..

Anyhow, If you aren't a Ipsy subscriber (Michelle Phan's company), you should! it only costs $10 a month and you get either full sized of deluxe size beauty products/samples! I've learned so much from just getting the bag and see what's out there!

 

Anyways! here are the stuff that I got..

cute bag. I never use my ipsy bag that came every month on a daily basis. I use them when I go traveling. 

 

I don't know if its a full size lipgloss but it is a pretty decent size. 

The lipgloss looks red, but when I put it on its actually just clear. kinda of disappointed. 

 

This may be my FAVORITE product in the bag. It smells so good!! Have you ever had Jasmine green tea? it smells just like that but more floral. Love this.

 This is a gold creamy eyeshadow from City color. Actually kind of like this. I like cream eye shadows because they last a bit longer and you can pack on the color slowly so it doesn't crease on your eyelids. 

you can barely see it from here because I've only used a little bit. But its sheer. 

 i actually really liked this. You don't have to press hard. I literally lightly went over it on the back of my hand. Very smooth. Can't wait to try this one either.

 

There! now anyone else an Ipsy subscriber? Share your bag!

 

A day to myself

I did it! I survived another 3 in-a-row night shifts! It was incredibly busy this week with all the deliveries and yesterday morning when I got home I crashed. i slept from 8:30am-5:30pm!!! it was crazy! but I did get my rest. Not only that, I still slept from 12:30am to 7:30 am today! lol I have to say, I am glad I can just sleep anytime, anywhere :P

So today I thought about going to Hot yoga but then I got all these other errands to run, so I decided not to. 

First thing first, today's weather was up to high 70's again!! gotta wear them summer clothes now! 

 

my outfit!
bandeau under shirt-Francesca's/ dress- Stitch Fix / Belt- Express/ Sandles- Charming Charlies

I love this dress (other than the fact that it's a super v-cut lol) and it has pockets!!

 

my make up

Chanel foundation/ Makeup forever HD powder/ sephora orange toned corrector/ Maybelline's age rewind concealer/ NYX eyebrown pencil in charcoal/ eye shadows I used my original Naked Palette/ eyeliner sephora brown/ mascara I used Maybelline & Benefits "they are real"

i actually got this makeup look from Here. 

Its from Pinterest and somehow I couldn't get the lighting right but mine is actually a bit lighter than the tutorial pictures. Using it as day time look.

 

I had lunch by myself in Chipotlet-which I've never done. I've never eaten at a restaurant by myself. it's actually not bad. A little awkward but I would do anything to eat chipotlet! 

 I was going to Tjmaxx and do some sports wear shopping but noted that my 5k Foam fest was moved from tomorrow to September, i cancelled that idea. So I just went and got my nails done! 

I've never been to this place but It is super cool! this pedicure tub has LED lights!!

 

hehe I thought that was cool.

 

 

super pretty colors! Anyways. What did you guys do today??
