Influenster Holiday VoxBox

When I got my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster, I could not contain my happiness!

The one I was the most excited about was the Goody Quikstyle Hair Brush. I actually had my eyes on this product at Target since I hate drying my hair. 

It worked amazingly! It really does dry my hair quicker. 

Other products were mediocre. I was not completely stoked about the nail polish stick on because of the gawdy design. :(

One Minute Review - Sachajuan volume spray

Hey guys,

Another one minute review! I filmed this right after I filmed the B&B hairspray, as you can see by the same outfit, same hair, same makeup lol.

I really love this product! It's the first volumizing spray that I've tried and was love at first use!
It smells flowery and pleasant, but can be overwhelming. So I usually spray it in the bathroom and run outside while holding my breath hahaha.
And seriously, try to avoid inhaling this. I'm pretty sure it's rather unhealthy to inhale fine powder, and I learned it the hard way that it is annoying to have that powder stuck in your throat for the rest of the day.

Also, the powder isn't too white, so as long as you smooth out your hair after spraying, white powder look should not be a problem.

Downtown Disney

This video is a compilation of two times that I went to Downtown Disney. The first time I went was with Hayon and it shows the first part of the video - the lay of the land. The second part of the video is the fireworks that go off at Disneyland, every night I believe(?) and you can see them for free by standing right outside the park entrance. The second part of the video was filmed when I took my friend to check out the fireworks. Hope you guys enjoy :) Thanks for watching!

And Origins proprietary complex of Caffeine from Coffee bean, Panax Ginseng, Magnolia Extract and natural optic brighteners rapidly wakes up, refreshes and restores radiance to tired eyes.

Santa Monica Pier

Headed over to Santa Monica Pier when a friend visited me from out of town. We went into Pacific Park (the mini amusement park on the pier) and rode the roller coaster (as you can see in the video). We went on a weekday when there weren't that many people so we got to ride it twice which was pretty exciting :) Hope you guys enjoy!

Butter London - Bluey

When Ulta had the buy one, get one free butter london sale, I snatched this gorgeous cerulean blue glittery nail polish. It's my first time wearing this one, and I have to say that I am impressed with the quality. 

In the picture, it's just two coats and no top or base coat. 

I've been wearing it for around four days, and it has not chipped!

And it's so festive and pretty (:

I totally recommend this one! and just Butter London in general!

Recipe of the Week - Chocolate making ideas!

Hi guys,

I know I am a little late in posting this, but I thought I might as well share it anyways. I love making peppermint bark right before christmas to give as gifts and to enjoy. They are so easy to make, delicious and pretty! This year, I decided to expand my options a bit and make different kinds of chocolate to give as gifts. 

Peppermint bark:

All you need is some baking chocolate (semi sweet, sweet or dark) and white chocolate and candy canes. I usually get a bit more semi sweet chocolate than white--1.5:1 ratio?

1. melt the chocolate (non-white) -- be careful not to burn the chocolate. I usually put it in a bowl and microwave at 50% power for 10 to 30 seconds, take it out, stir, and if not completely melted, microwave again for a shorter amount of time at 50% power. you know that you burned the chocolate if it becomes chunky and hard to mix.

2. get some parchment paper and pour the melted chocolate onto the sheet. I usually don't worry about the shape, but I try to make it thick enough.. maybe half a nail depth? hahaha

3. let it sit and harden. While you are waiting, put 5-6 candy canes in a ziploc bag and start crushing with meat tenderizer or hammer.. or any weapon of choice.

4. when the chocolate has hardened, melt the white chocolate and do the same thing as 1, and pour the melted white chocolate onto the dark chocolate.

5. Right after you pour the white chocolate, sprinkle the crushed candy cane generously onto the chocolate. Let it sit and harden.

6. Cut it into pieces and enjoy!

Dried cherries & walnuts in chocolate:

This one is just a random creation of mine. I found some dried cherries from target and had walnuts at home, so voila!

1. melt the semi sweet chocolate and pour it onto the parchment sheet. 

2. Before it hardens, sprinkle chopped cherries and walnut onto the chocolate. 

3. let it harden.

4. Pour another layer of melted semi sweet chocolate to cover the cherries and walnut. 

5. Let it harden and cut and enjoy!

This is how I packaged the chocolate. I got some boxes from Michaels and bought some tissue papers and folded it to fit the box. 

This looked a bit empty, so I ended up adding some cereal chocolate (too easy to even mention.. I just coated some rice cereal with melted chocolate..)
