Unseen

When I say today was hectic, I mean insanely hectic. The summer sun's vigorous rays shining down on my damn oily face (I looked like a french fry honestly). Drinking two Starbucks drinks to cool off (although I am low-key lactose intolerant hahahaha). Scaring off a girl just to shoot these photos (sorry to whoever you are lol). A day filled with many events finally came to an end. But, being able to catch up with a close friend was worth all the hardships that today had to offer. I'm still trying to get the hang of vlogging when I actually leave my house. However, with my little shy ass still being self conscious of what people will think of me video taping myself with a camera, makes it a difficult task. Why do I still care about what people think of me? I'm not too sure. But, hoping that during my maturing stage as a high school graduate, my insecurities will slowly not bother me as much (wish me luck lmfao).

The color pink is really growing on me (surprisingly). The only colors that used to be in my closet were black, white, and blue. I used to be so boring and generic. Although I'm still boring and generic, at least I'm wearing colors! Overtime, I want to achieve making my outfits more extra and bold to be able to stand out and be myself a little more (Light ass blonde hair is a good start to standing out lmao). Let's work together on trying to use clothes and appearance as a way to voice ourselves. Being able to stop being self conscious is a goal of mine for the new school year. I believe and can achieve! (Maybe??? LOL).

The Face Shop & Kakao Friends Collaboration

The Face Shop released a collection in collaboration with Kakao Talk a while ago. (Yes, I'm very late). But, do you see this damn packaging??? How can anyone resist these products? Although these are just repackaged Face Shop original products, the Kakao Friends packaging makes it irresistible. I recently went to The Face Shop here in Hawaii to pick up a few items. (I ended up buying none of the products I was planning to buy & left with a bunch of Kakao Friend packaged items smh). 

This sunscreen is AMAZING. Don't even question me when I say that this sunscreen makes your skin look flawless. Irritating acne scars? Uneven skin color? Not when you are wearing this sunscreen. With a natural tint within the formula, it gives skin a blemish free look! This sunscreen is also not heavy at all (heavy sunscreen more like kill me). With Hawaii always being so humid, waterproof sunscreen is a MUST! Also, being summer time, waterproof sunscreen will stick to your skin like glue while you're sweating like a pig. BEWARE. If you have dry skin, moisturize A LOT. This product will dry out your skin and make it look flaky.

Don't even get me started on The Face Shop hand creams. Not only does it make your hands feel like a baby's, it also doesn't leave your hands feeling like you just shoved it into a jar of oil. I'd rather have dry freaking hands than gross slime hands. The scents are superb! (Just rub some of this hand lotion under your nose because damn.... you'll be wanting to smell these for the rest of your life). They come in green tea, cherry blossom, rose, apple, and berry scent. (THE APPLE SMELLS SO DAMN GOOD I 10/10 RECOMMEND). Although I only picked up the green tea and cherry blossom scents this time, I will be going back very soon to pick up the rest of the scents.

Don't these look like the cutest face masks in the world??? Don't be fooled! They're actually lowkey creepy and frightening when you put them on. But, do these masks actually work? Well... they do work somewhat. I've never been a fan of cotton face masks. (Hydrogel > Cotton) Although they don't benefit your skin they way you would want them to, they do leave your skin very moisturized if you are experiencing dry skin. (I wouldn't recommend if you have oily skin unless you want to look like an oily french fry).

The Face Shop in Hawaii was giving out free neck pillows if you spend $50 or more on any Kakao Friend products!!! LOOK AT HOW MF CUTE THIS IS. This has saved me countless times from waking up with a sore neck when I take my naps sitting up on the couch. They were also giving out Kakao Friend mouse pads with any purchase over $20 (which I got as well). But, it's very filthy right now since I've been playing more and more league since it's summer time. 

Hopefully I can go back to The Face Shop and pick up the products that I regret not buying. (THE DAMN APPLE SCENTED HAND CREAM). Thank you for reading and be sure to blow your money on these products like I did!! 

The Morning Star

I'm finally a god damn high school alumni! Can you hear me screaming?? Graduating high school made me realize that there's so much ahead of me. I can't wait but I can wait?? I want to go off to college and experience college parties and clubbing. But, I also want to be able to live a carefree life as a child where I'm able to go out with friends everyday and just have a good time. Holy shit so much damn anxiety just thinking about it.

The morning these photos were taken was a very special morning. You learn a lot about people when you spend 12+ hours with them throughout the night waiting for the sunrise to happen. (Damn my eye bags were darker than the night sky!!! LMFAO) Living in Hawaii is such a blessing (& a curse at times).  These photos that were captured look like freaking paintings... Too beautiful to be true. The ONE bad thing about this morning was these tourists getting in out way while we were taking pictures like okay manners??? No?????? I'm stoked for what the rest of summer has in store for me. I hope for many more wild parties and exhilarating adventures! (I want to learn how to surf??? Although I am probably really out of shape!! HAHA) Be ready for many blog updates this summer! (If you can handle my insanity)
