My Favorite Perfumes

I like clean and light scents, like soap or citrus. I don't like overly musky or floral scents. Thus, I wanted to share my favorite perfumes/parfums in case anyone else is looking for new scent that's crisp and light.

TIP: To maintain longer shelf life, store your fragrances in a cool, dark place!

Toner Evaluations

 I've tried MANY toners, because it's a product I'm constantly changing up. According to the Korean 10 Step Method, we're suppose to swipe/splash toner on immediately after we finish cleansing.

However, toner usage, like eye creams, can be controversial, because its affects aren't immediate (unless you used a cleanser that dried out your skin!) and it can be expensive!

Sustainable Fashion Haul

Shopping is one of my hobbies! Even during COVID19, I can't stop buying 😣 But we call it supporting our economy and retail therapy, so it's fine, right?!  And if I shop secondhand it's more environmentally conscious, because it decreases the natural resources used to make new clothes (like water), and prevents fast fashion from filling our landfills!

One of my favorite thrift shops is Clothes Mentor. The shopping and buying concept mirrors Plato's Closet, but the merchandise quality is higher and aimed at a more mature crowd (there's no Forever 21 at Clothes Mentor!).

My local Clothes Mentor did their yearly $1 clearance sale, so of course I had to check out the goods!

 

  I snagged 3 pairs of black shoes and a J.Crew scarf for less than $5 after tax!

 

BEWARE: If you don't like stickers/labels that remove cleanly, shopping secondhand might drive you crazy!

 

Black Patent Vera Wang Lavender Flats - size 7

 

Black Matte Vera Wang Lavender Flats - size 7

 

Black T-Strap Nine West Kitten Heels - size 6.5

 

As with all thrifted items, I wash/clean before using! I usually put the items in my freezer to effectively kill any bacteria/virus. However, for this haul, the items froze outdoors for a couple nights during a deep cold spell (Thanks Midwest Winter!). Then, I washed the scarf and cleaned the shoes with disinfectant wipes before wearing.

My Sartorial Moments of 2019

I was feeling nostalgic while perusing past photos, so I thought I'd share my fave fashion moments from 2019. Let's pray for efficient vaccine distribution, herd immunity, and overseas travel in 2021!

My February Manicure

 I'm rocking Ciate's Prima Ballerina this month! It's from my mom's nail polish collection and is a soft grey colour.

I had to use 3 coats to make it opaque, so the formula is more watery.

The brush head is small and flat, so it is easy to maneuver.

 

I sealed it with a top coat from OPI

Combat Dry Winter Skin!

Hey all! Since the Groundhog predicted 6 more week of winter, I wanted to share the products I'm currently using to combat dry winter skin!

 Besides adding moisture, it's also important to exfoliate so the skincare products penetrate deeper. AND DRINK WATER! Lol
