5:30 AM wake up call!.... fail.

I've been trying to wake up every morning at 5:30 AM so I could squeeze in a morning exercise routine before class. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to wake up. I don't know what it is... that I just can NOT wake up... It's frustrating.. :( Any ideas?

So, yesterday, I was browsing through the net and I found good and bad reviews on Neutrogena's healthy skin liquid makeup. My sister had told me that it made her break out, but I'm not the type to break out. I decided to give it a try... I'm currently sitting at my desk typing this entry in an "orange" manner. It was way to dark for me and honestly, I'm not a fan. As soon as I put it on, it just didn't "wow!" me. I'm going to take it back tomorrow and return it.

I'm going to start taking fish oil pills. Apparently, they're good for you and your skin + hair. We'll see how that goes. I've never been too particular about taking vitamins, but I have read that it really does help. I'll update on the progress as time passes.

Guess what this is! :]

Accessorize on Jan. 30

<--- I accidentally left these bracelets out in the sun on a window sill. I got them this summer at H&M. It's unfortunate that there are NO H&M's here. Can I cry now?







My sister picked this one out. I loved the flower design on it. The band was darker, but like I said before... I left it out in the sun.. Oops.


When I was in New York this winter, my friend and I went in search for the discount Marc Jacobs store. I had heard that it changed a lot and that it had moved, but I figured I'm here in New York, might as well check it out. So after hours of searching throughout NoHo, we finally spotted the new discount Marc Jacobs store in mid bite of my Magnolia red velvet cupcake. We were standing in front of the store. I had gone a few years ago, but when I went inside, it had changed so much. I wasn't surprised, but disappointed that they had fewer accessory items and more clothes and shoes. Of course, I would have been happy if I was planning on buying these things, but I wasn't. Not for the trip and hours to be a waste, I bought a necklace with my friend. It's supposed to say "I love you" (I think...)



For some reason, asymmetrical things really grab my attention. I have many pairs of earrings that are not the same on both sides of my ears. Does that sentence even make any sense? :]













I've been testing out this foundation combo-- 2 layers of Bobbi Brown's skin foundation setting it with MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish powder. Mainly, I've been looking for oily-ness (is that a word?). Looks like my nose is shiny... I've never been the oily type. I knew I had combination skin, but it was more towards the drier side. I guess... things change as I get older. My skin was flawless when I was younger, but now... I have major redness. I am so sad. :( It may also be because I haven't been really eating in a healthy manner and exercising like I should... Oh, and drinking water..... (oops) well, I guess we'll see what happens. 

Hiatus broken- good afternoon! Happy New Years!

How was everyone's New Years?? It's been a while and forever. For many months now, it's been hard to find the motivation to write and to be happy with myself. It's been quite a journey the past year and I've got to say that I've learned a lot about myself-- the good and the bad. I have started to make changes, of course for the better. At the end of this year, 2012, I hope that I will be happier with me. Do I sound sad and helpless? I hope not... If anything, last year I learned that no matter how much I wanted to stop time and live in that one single moment, everything, everyone passed me and left me behind. It's time to catch up with everyone else and basically face reality. This year I hope to find what I want with my life and basically what I want to do for the rest of my life. So, I thought what better way to motivate myself to keep this up than to document my everyday life? I mean the title of this blog is all natural. So from the good to the bad, let's tackle 2012.
