¡Carnival! pt. II

Throwback post 'cause Gizmo found Yoshi's old draft from 2016!

 

After a day at sea, we finally reached our first landing site; Cozúmel. The drop-off location forced all passengers through a tourist shopping hub, from which we tried to find our own adventure closer to town.

Every afternoon was tea-time! Cute and delicious, it was the perfect addition to every day.

Randomly greeted by Mr. & Mrs. Potatohead when we landed?

The place wasn't as nice as we had heard about, and every 'beach' required buying a ticket and ride to. So we picked what we could and spent most of our afternoon with unlimited drinks and lazy sitting.

My family prefers to have an assortment of activities, so the first day wasn't prime for us. However it was a nice taste of authentic food and shops!

Still some of the best tacos I've had to date, though the shop was small and gloves weren't in sight (cough), the risk was well worth it!

Lancome Facial Cleanser Review

Inherited another skincare product from Yoshi (her skin is sensitive skin prone to acne, so it's picky).  I have combination skin!

Pros:  Adequately removes non-waterproof make-up, dirt, and oil/sebum

Cons:  Doesn't foam like a foaming cleanser.  Strong rose scent.

Verdict:  Will not purchase again, but may give to my mother (mature skin).

Surprise surprise!

It's been so long, I might have forgotten how to blog.

Can't blog. Is that possible?

Regardless I have to share news with you! Other than being completely swamped and losing most of my mind, I traveled home to a pleasant surprise.

I don't know how they do it, but I was chosen by Bioré to be a Skincare Ambassador! Though it's a small feat and I would not consider myself a skin pro, I do love Bioré products.

Rest assured this was in no way sponsored by them (though I wish it was!). No idea how it happened but sure happy it did!

I'll be trying out one of their new Charcoal masks tonight! Sounds a bit too good to be true, but their pore strips are exactly as advertised, AND it IS Bioré.

Happy Spring Breaking!

300th Post!!!

We can't believe it's our 300th post! Thanks to all who have read, visited, and/or commented on this blog.

We're truly blessed and living in a grace period.

XOXO,

Gizmo and Yoshi

Just a few days ago...

There's no excuse.

It has been, well quite long, let's see.. it has been forever. 

Really!

I feel as though life was merely a VHS tape (anyone remember those?) put on fast forward and just now paused. Whew! Thanks to a great family vacation and time off from school -HOLLA- I would like to believe I'm back in the game.

Blogging, and now vlogging, is not to be taken lightly. At first this was a dream in the works, and to be frank it still is. Not quite figured out what exactly I want to do with it, but then again I do not know what I'm going to do with life in general.

Follow me if you dare!
