Birthday Manicure: Rainbow Pastel

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It was my birthday yesterday and I had a great dinner with my boyfriend in Indy.

Okay, back to the topic today, I always wanted to paint my nails all different color but I was kind of afraid the colors wouldn't match and it will turn out meh. I was cleaning up my nail polishes and found out I have many different pastel nail polishes. So I decided to have my nails in rainbow pastel colors this time and it is perfect for spring!

Review: Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion

Hi everyone!

I've been using Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion for almost a year and now I'm gonna share with you guys how awesome this BB cream is. It comes with one case of BB cream and also a refillable pack. I'm now using the fourth case!

I don't put much makeup on my face on a daily makeup routine. I want some coverage but not too much like a foundation. My sister recommended me this and I was like wow this is the one. This BB cream comes in 3 shades. Its coverage is more like from light to medium and it's buildable which is just perfect for school or work. It has SPF 50+ PA+++ in it so I can skip my sunscreen step in my daily makeup routine. It is very long lasting, believe me, I have it on my face in the morning when I go to class and when I come home after work at night, it doesn't wear off by my sweat or oil. Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion has a very unique feature which is its refreshing and cooling sensation when you apply the BB cream on your face. It is proved that your skin temperature will decrease by 3 degree Celsius when you put it on your face. This is because the cushion (puff) they use has 800,000 tiny pores to lock up the water and hydrate your skin while wearing makeup.

I only wear this BB cream when I go to school or work which I would say like 4-5 days a week and one case lasts me for whole semester, about 4 months. 

I hope you guys enjoy reading and hopefully everyone can find their perfect foundation base!

My Little Cutie Pie: Churro

Happy Wednesday! Churro says hi to everyone :)

He is my little cutie pie, so sweet and lovely! He is a maltipoo breed (maltese poodle mix). 1 year and 4 months. Picked this cute guy up when he was 10 weeks old at Boston, KY. Drove 8 hours back and forth to pick him up and he saved us a speed ticket! Officer was like aww such a cute dog and just gave us a warning, whew!

Churro is so outgoing and active. He loves to play with anyone, gets so excited when he sees strangers. He is definitely the friendliest dog I have ever seen!

Although sometimes it costs me alot, he broke 6-7 of my phone and laptop chargers, I kinda lost count lol, pain in the asssss.. He doesn't break anything but chargers but I still love him so much! Isn't he sho cute??

He gets so excited every time I come in the room, even though I just leave the room for 2 minutes to get water or bathroom break and when I come in, he will never disappoint me, wagging his hairy tail and welcome me. Feel so warm when I come home from a busy school day or tired work shift to see this little cutie wagging his tail and begging me to play with him.

I love you Churro <3

Breakfast at Yolk!

Happy Wednesday! How was your week so far?

I don't really have breakfast in the morning because there's not many good breakfast restaurants around my city and I feel so lazy to get up in the morning and cook breakfast :P So I usually skip breakfast and go straight to class. I know it's unhealthy but yeah I don't live in the dorm anymore and there's no meal plan. Sad.

So whenever I go to Chicago, I will go to Yolk to have my favorite breakfast there. Yes obviously it is a breakfast restaurant and you gotta try this! Yolk's foods are so good. Yummylicious...There are 3 outlets in downtown Chicago mainly along Michigan Avenue.

I have tried couple of their foods and they are uhh-mayy-zingggg!!!!! No joke! Also, if you are a coffee lover they have free flow of coffee! I love that they have different flavor (hazelnut, caramel, vanilla...) of creamer. That's one of my favorite part about Yolk too!  So when you have a chance to go to the windy city, don't forget to try out Yolk's breakfast :)
