• Dag­ger Neck­lace by Emma Brite — slightly vio­lent, but it’s too per­fect to have that con­text.. jux­ta­po­si­tion, yes?
• Sil­ver Zoya Nail Pol­ish — SILVER!! So sil­ver. so shiny.
• Mag­a­zine rack by Blo­mus — I love the sim­plic­ity of this mag­a­zine rack =)

I painted my nails.. again. I can’t help it! I love the colour of it though. It’s really dis­tract­ing in class, because all I do is stare at them. Reminds me of a starry night, or space! girlicon

Here’s the poster/flyer I cre­ated for the intro to visual cul­ture group project. Inspi­ra­tion from Korean Teen Vogue mag­a­zine. :) I had a lot of fun mak­ing it hehe.

Clean & Clear Persa Gel

For the past few months, my skin has been dri­ving me crazy — pim­ples pop­ping up ran­domly. Usu­ally the norm for my skin is clear. After I began using the Clin­ique foam­ing cleanser.. I noticed that was when pim­ples started form­ing. SO.. I decided to try the Clean and Clear Persa-Gel, which was sit­ting on my bath­room counter because my brother uses it. At first.. I was highly doubt­ful it would work, but after a few appli­ca­tions I noticed that my pim­ples started to dis­ap­pear. Appar­ently this prod­uct speeds up the pim­ple process, so it dis­ap­pears faster. The down­side to this is that it’s quite high in con­cen­tra­tion ben­zoyl per­ox­ide, so it does dry up the skin around the area you’ve applied to — MOISTURIZE! If your skin is super sen­si­tive, I would sug­gest try first with a light appli­ca­tion. Another plus to this is that it has no stinky scent! harhar.. I’m not pos­i­tive if this prod­uct will be good for longterm, but for now it works :D. Price — ~$7.00

Prod­uct Descrip­tion:
“It’s time to make acne shake in its boots. This #1 pharmacist-recommended acne treat­ment con­tains max­i­mum strength Ben­zoyl Per­ox­ide acne med­ica­tion. The unique for­mula goes to work imme­di­ately, releas­ing the med­i­cine deep into the pores where pim­ples start.” clean&clear

In French class, we’re watch­ing Fly­boys - an Amer­i­can movie, but for us, dubbed in French. I assumed right away that the movie would be black and white.. and bor­ing. How­ever, 20 min­utes within the movie, every­one was at the edge of their chairs with excite­ment haha. Unfor­tu­nately, class is only 80 min­utes long, so we had to watch it in sec­tions, which pushed the antic­i­pa­tion I guess :D. I’m usu­ally not inter­ested in War movies, but THIS MOVIE.. is SO GOOD.

This film takes place in Amer­ica, before they had entered World War I, and just when air­planes were devel­oped — soon into fight­ing machines. Many young men in Amer­ica trav­elled to France to learn how to fly these air­planes, and this movie is based on those men. This movie is a fic­tional account of the Lafayette Escaderie of 1917. I find it even more intrigu­ing that parts of the sto­ries are based on real peo­ple.. it makes you rec­og­nize their accom­plish­ments and courage that much more.

On another note, I want to dye my hair.. but I’m not sure if Palty will work on my vir­gin black hair :\ I’m afraid it will turn it a nasty orange colour ><! I’m think­ing of pur­chas­ing this colour… even though it’s a lit­tle bit lighter than what I want, I’m scared that if I get a darker one, noth­ing will hap­pen to my hair. haa~
