Happy Saturday!
The weather is warming up and I'm ready for summer neon color and some tan! I don't have any plan for the rest of the summer yet because I'm really broke after my summer break trip back in May. Maybe Chicago day trip in the late July or something but yeah no plan for now.
Since I'm not going out and to make my summer more interesting, I'm gonna play with my nails! This time I wanna try something different, the nail sticker! Damn I'm in love with this nail sticker, no waiting time to dry the nail polish, no smear, no hassle! I got this Sally Hansen animal print nail sticker last summer and hasn't had a chance to try it out. I just love it when I tried it last night. I think whole leopard print will be too much of prints on nails so I painted other nails neon coral color and it turned out so great! They are just perfect match for the summer.
Thank you so much for reading and I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

Coral nail polish: The Face Shop

Review: Soap & Glory Products
Hi everyone!
I picked up some Soap & Glory (S&G) products at Sephora couple weeks ago :) After almost a month of trying, I'm gonna share with you guys how I feel about these products. It was my first time using S&G.
I was gonna get body scrub and Soap & Glory came to my mind. So I browsed some of the body scrubs S&G has, I got the Pulp Friction Foamy Fruity Body Scrub. The packaging is cute, it's a pink chubby tube. It's 8.4 oz or 250 ml. It has coarse beads in there so I personally think it works pretty well on me. My skin feels smooth after. It smells really good. The Pulp has a strong fruity smell.
I also got The Righteous Butter Body Lotion. I want a lotion that smells really good and wish it stays all day and this is what I wanted! It is thick, just like its name- butter lotion, it's definitely thicker than lotion and I think it is as thick as body butter. It smells gorgeous! It has some sort of rose smell mix with other floral scents. Trust me the smell lasts all day/night long! I usually put the lotion after I shower before I go to bed and it still smells very good when I get up in the morning! The scent gets on my clothes and I found out it still smells great couple days later. If I had to shower in the morning, I will use the lotion as my 'perfume'. Its scent might be too strong at the beginning when you first put it on but later it kind of fade away and stay. I love how it absorbs into my skin real fast, I hate the sticky texture after applying lotion but this leaves me with a smooth skin without feeling any stickiness on my skin. For its price I think it's pretty reasonable for how much the products you get in the bottle, it has 16.2 oz or 500 ml in a bottle with a pump. The pump comes with a lock so it is very convenient to put in a suitcase when you go on a trip without worrying it will leak.
The third S&G product I picked up is the Hand Food. I got the travel size which is 1.69 oz r 50 ml which costs me only $5. It is a hand cream in a pink tube just like the body scrub but a mini version of it. I still have my L'occitane hand cream and I got this just to try it out. It smells very similar to the body lotion but the scent is less strong and it smells much sweeter. The texture is very light but very moisturize. It doesn't leave the sticky feel after you apply. The travel size is very convenient as you can just throw it in your purse and carry wherever you go!
The last product I got is a face cleanser called Face Soap Clarity. I also got the travel size because my face is very sensitive and I wanna try out before I purchase the regular size. However, this cleanser doesn't work on me. It breaks my face out every time I use it. I wanted to love it because it has very tiny beads in it as a daily face scrub. It smells very minty and a tiny weeny hint of fruity scent. It might work on your skin type but it is just not my face wash. It is a 1oz or 30 ml transparent tube.
Overall, I think Soap and Glory has many good products and I will definitely try out other products in the future! Their packaging is very cute too :)
**I purchased all the Soap and Glory products I mentioned in the post, none of them are sent to me for product review.

Time to Say Goodbye :(
Hi everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. Mine isn't that good :(
I had to send my family off to the airport this afternoon. I wish they could stay here longer, I didn't even realize it has been 3 weeks already. Time was passing really fast when you are having good time. No one can understand the feeling of being apart for 10000 miles :'(
My apartment became so quiet and empty after they left. Now I have to go back to my work and being alone in my apartment. I couldn't stop crying thinking of them. Daddy mommy and sista I love you <3

When Dream Comes True: Disney World Orlando
Hi everyone! Have you been to Disneyland or Disney World? What's your favorite character?
I always wanted to go to Disneyland when I was young but I didn't have the chance. The first time I went to Disneyland was when I was 7th grade. My mom brought my sis and me to Japan and of course, we visited Disneyland in Tokyo. That was my first visit to Disney and I told myself I will visit all the Disneys around the world one day. Then I visited Disneyland in Hong Kong back in 2006. It was the smallest Disney in the world. In 2010, I came to the states and I visited Disney World Orlando with my friends.
This time I got to go with my family! I always thought going to Disney is a family thing. And that's how to dream came true! My sister and I was very excited to go.
On the 4th day in Orlando, we went to Disney Magic Kingdom. It was very crowded as summer break already started. There was a long wait for all the rides and taking pictures with the characters. We went to Epcot on the 5th day and damn it was really hot but we had lots of fun in Disney!

Universal Studio and Island of Adventure featuring World of Wizarding Harry Potter
Happy Friday! Do you have any plan on the weekend? I'm exhausted from the 2 weeks trip to the east coast and gonna take a long long break before I go back to work.
We flew to Orlando, Florida from NYC and stayed 5 days there. Got to Orlando pretty late so we went straight to hotel to have good rest for the next day. We went to Universal Studio on the 2nd day. My first Universal Studio visit was in Osaka, Japan. I wanna go to all the Universal Studio all over the world! Planning to go to the LA one in this winter, trying to get out from the mid west winter, hah!
We then went to Universal Island of Adventure on the 3rd day. We actually wanted to go to the Harry Potter world only :P Harry Potter world was amazing, it felt like I'm in the movie lol. We had 4 cups of butterbeer. I love butterbeer, yummmm. I wish I had one right now. We did most of the fun rides and had so much fun in both parks!

Summer Break: NY and DC Trip!
Happy Sunday everyone!
So I went on a graduation trip to the east coast with my family. IT was their first time here so we were all excited for the trip. We departed a day after my commencement and flew to Buffalo, New York to see the world famous Niagara Falls. We went to the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. The view was stunning. It was very cold when we went and everyone was freezing because we thought it would be warmer :( We enjoyed the trip except for the bad hotel front desk service.

*******************************************************
After a 3D2N stay at Niagara Falls, we took a plane to Washington DC. The first time I came I visited many museums and it took up a lot of time so this time I'm gonna go see the beautiful buildings in DC. We had the chance to stay in brownstone apartment in Columbia Height, DC. The apartment was beautiful and clean. We bought the Big Bus tour so we can tour around DC and it came with the ticket to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. What a deal! We had a very pleasant stay in DC.

Now the fun part! NYC yay!! This was my second visit to NYC and I will never get bored to this city that never sleep. There are tons of good restaurants and stores. We took the bus up to NYC from DC. Our stay wasn't that pleasant this time. We stayed in a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn, in some ghetto neighborhood. Have you ever seen a gated counter in KFC? Yeah, they have the gated counter in this neighborhood, that's sketchy! Other than the unpleasant stay, everything else was good. We did a lot of shopping at Times Square. We also went to Woodbury Premium Outlet Mall and my family went crazy shopping there lol. We also watched the longest running broadway show The Phantom of the Opera. It was still amazing even though it was my second time watching. Statue of Liberty was closed due to the damage from hurricane Sandy so we didn't get to visit. We can still kind of see the statue at Battery Park. We visited a lot of places and it was pouring the dat we were gonna go to Central Park so we had to cancel it. We had so much fun in NYC, will definitely revisit!
