---MOrning Routine---

Intro

Blog stuck was the word in my head for blog ideas until a brilliant idea came forth when I was web searching blog ideas.  I loooove watching Youtuber's morning routine and decided I should do one too. Besides my blog is in the beauty section so I am totally qualified to show off my routine (phss...because my morning routine is like a party #alldayereyday).  Any ways, I swear I do not get distracted easily but let's actually start on the blog.

Out of Bed

Rrrrring, I really do not have a specific time I wake up but I do set my alarm at 6:05.  Like today I woke up at 6:15, I probably slept through my alarm for fifteen minutes (thank you Captain Obvious) oh well it's more sleep time for me!  Right as I jump out of bed I dash to my bathroom to spit out my retainer (eeew nasty) and take care of business.

Nom, Nom, Nom, Breakfast

The second I wake up, my stomach is screaming for food and I will need to feed it. Today's breakfast are eggs, they take time in the morning but if fills me up for the whole day until lunch (I have second lunch so like yea).  To scramble eggs, I use a fork to quickly whip them up.  Before I whip my eggs, I oil my pan with olive oil and light the gas stove to medium.  I quickly pour the whipped eggs and cook until it's semi-brown or at least until preferred 
I usually eat two eggs for breakfast

Get Ready

The only type of toothpaste I use is Colgate
My mission is to finish making my bed and add all the essentials in my packback so I do not forget anything at my house.  I jump into the bathroom and get ready!  Hahaha, just kidding I will actually share with you what I do to get ready.

1. Brush my nasty teeth until they are more than decent enough, please brush your teeth!












2. I pick my clothes for the day (on my moody days I change three times before deciding on a legit outfit).

Three different top ideas I would totally not think about

3. Apply a small amount of make up (either two coats of mascara or just eye shadow)

Still using my favorite Dior Mascara

4. Brush my naughty hair  (haha get it cause it's knotty but naughty? hahah...okay moving on)
5. This eats up all my time but I try to attempt like three or four different hairstyles (EasyHairstyles have some more styles for busy mornings) but hate all of them At the end, I decide to just keep my hair down what a boring person.
6. I return to my bed and of course redo my bed so when I come back home my room is all heavenly.
It's a pillow pet


Leave Mi Casa

It's usually like 6:55 a.m.  or if I am extremely late 7:00 a.m. when I finish getting ready.  I quickly grab snacks for school and tennis.  After, I  decide on which coat to wear then wait for my mom until she is ready to drop me off at school.  (On unlucky days, I am forced to walk to school.  Let me tell you, during the winter it is PITCH black.  I am all alone walking in the dark making it seem like I'm going to get kidnapped).

Walking


Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoyed my exciting morning routine and as always...stay beautiful;)

**Spring HAUL **

Image Courtesy to Americanwaste

Intro

Hi, Hi, Hi…Hello readers…whatcha doing?  For today's blog I am shareing with you my Spring Haul.  My mom and I decided to shop on a dreary Saturday but that didn't stop us from SHOPPING!!!  There were some fights here and there but overall it was a successful shopping spree.  (Just to inform, I do not like buying clothes all at the same time, my technique is to buy few clothes at a time over a long period of time.  This way, I can actually invest in clothes and actually wear what I have bought)  Today is Friday, soooo it's time to party! Just kidding (if you are then, you go girl!) The weekend is here and I am ready to just, ReLaX!  Anyyyways, let's start on this Spring Haul!


Skirts

Skirts are essential in a spring/summer closet.

**The first item I bought is this peach colored skirt from American Apparel.  My goodness,  it is the most expensive skirt I have ever bought for myself (It was like $45! but totes my goats worth it)**


Love the Color

**The second item is my very own maxi skirt!!!! I was waiting for sooo long to find the perfect one; as soon as I saw it, Hallelujah started playing in the background (it's from Forever 21).  You can see it's a little revealing and for the ones who don't want to show as much skin can spanks or shorts under them.**

Tribal

Shorts

I bought two basic shorts for the oncoming summer. (Both are from American Eagle)

** The first item I bought are these mid thigh shorts.  During Spring/Summer time at school, I DID NOT have any bottoms to wear.  All of them were too short to wear (hey I love my shorty-shorts) and now I do actually have at least one thing to wear. **

For School


**High Waisted Shorts!!! Yes yes, this is like heaven because I have soo many crop tops and I was in desperate need for these wonderful shorts:)**
High waisted

Leggings  

Comfyness is the definition of leggings, wearing fashionable ones gives you a look like you actually put effort into your outfit even though you didn't. (shhh don't tell, its a fashion secret;)

**Furry is the first thing that comes to my mind when I wear these leggings.  They have a snake like texture and did I mention comfy?! Yes, girls it is time for furry leggings. These leggings are from a boutique called Spark.**
SSSssss

Tops

My closet is full of shirts I NEVER wear or even look at but I decided to buy crop tops!

**White can make your tan POP and gives your skin a glowwwww, so I decided to hunt for the perfect white top.  It came to be in Forever 21 where there were infinite amount of white shirts.  The tank is considered a crop top but has a sheer end to the muscle tank so technically the tank isn't**

That PERFECT white top


**A simple color is the starting point for fashion.  It can be accessorized, layered, or even just worn plain.  I bought this shirt from American Eagle and is on the crop top category.  I made a critical decision on the color because... well, I was going to buy the white version but then I was like eehhhh too much white.**

Plain and Simple

**The last item is a short, short, shorrrrrt crop top.  No, I am not going to wear this with just anything; it will be matched perfectly with my maxi skirt, oh yes!  I bought this crop top from Forever 21 and is a little sassy but I like a hint of sass.**

Woof

Other

**Guess what?! I bought a kimono (not a real one) !!!!!!!!!!!! Like "Yes Please," I was waiting for THE perfect colors, style, and print.  It whispered to me like...Tushig I will be your one and only true friend, buy me...BUY ME!  Hahah anyways, I bought this at H&M and I just adore the way the pastel colors of the cherry blossom is gracefully printed onto the kimono.**

Praise to H&M

**Hats, Hats, Hats...hats pull a blanket of style onto your outfit of the day.  I needed one that had a solid pattern but a hint of a girly.  It's like a skater kind of hat from Forever 21 and it's a life saver for those bad hair days (I have those like every single day). **

Hair down...Hat on

That is all for my Spring Haul, I am freaking excited to wear all of my beautiful glorious clothes during the summer. Thank you for reading my blog and as forever and always, stay beautiful;)

  -Disclaimer: my mom only bought clothes I needed like my two shorts while the others were with my OWN money-

B...F...C!!!


@ Michaels



Intro

Hello readers out there, how are you?  Good, today I am doing something different to spice up this beauty blog and it's called a BFC!!!  In case you haven't read it on Emily's blog, it stands for Best Friend Collab.  You choose any one of your best friends and just talk about your many adventures, how you became friends, and all the other things best friends do.  Besides,it is going to be Emily's birthday next week so it's like a birthday shout for her too!  Yay! you get to learn about us woohoo...okay let's get started.

First Impression...or Calculators

Soo, all I remember of Emily the first time I saw her was this tiny little person who seemed to have this perfect "be my friend" aura.  The moment I sensed this I was like YES I will and be her friend.  It took some time because she was a complete stranger to me and a factor of Emily being shy became a slight problem.  I slowly inched with small conversations but our first like friend thingy was when we were in science (the only class I had with her so it was always in science).  I asked to be her partner and I think she thought I was some sort of a creep but I guess she was fine with it and said, "sure."  The end of science was coming faster and we had to finish our "oh so hard" seventh grade science lab.  We dashed for our calculators and plugged in the numbers. It turned out we had totally different answers; the calculators kept telling us two completely irrelevant numbers.  Being the "intelligent" seventh graders, we traded our old calculators to see if it was the calculator (not us...phhsshsh).  Hahahaha..if I ever went back and saw little Emily and Tushig, I would burst open and laugh.

Please Don't Kill Me Emily

Adventures...and Stalking;)  

Emily and I have a huge list of our adventures we have gone through and experienced through out the years.  Most "adventures" were from last year.  Every other day -- after math class last year -- we both had to drag ourselves to the high school but the most interesting part was sharing our stories.  We would exchange all of our "personal" happenings and exchange laughs along the way.  Even though it was a small five minute walk, that was when we actually became closer.  The most fun factor was having not one person behind us listening and it was second period so we could talk about ANYTHING.  (Emily, if you are reading this then you probably know what I'm talking about.)

Our other adventures consisted of stalking people (more like boys) by searching for their houses (oh jeez now the whole world knows...jk know one reads this blog sooo) and online for two hours hahahaha.  There was also you know just touching, a dead cow's heart and lungs...joyful (and it smelled so nicely...Emily can tell you every thing about it).  We went to this University thing and all these smart and nerdy children were there and we felt really stupid but that was okay.  Also at that University thing, we were forced to dance to this Brave song...I'm sorry can we take a moment to just imagine that.  Imagine all these smart but nerdy kids who are awkward and TOTAL strangers; they wanted all of US to dance and be "crazy." Let's just say... no thank you
Emily and I also made up code names heeehee (Steven, Monkey, AM, and many more), make up dances in our seats (CcccCcc), and sing about food in Emily's lunch:)  (Quesadilla...lllalllalla)

Skiing with Emily and Sabrina :)

Emily <3  

What I love most about Emily is her perrrsonality..yes.  At first she seems shy and you would NEVER think she could be this crazy person after getting to know her better.  Emily is one of the MOST intelligent friend I have ever met and she always a great source to talk to.  Her sense of humor is like mine so when we joke about the most dumbest things, we always have laugh attacks.  Emily loves to dance with her TALENTED dance moves and is always obsessed with Josh Hutcherson (Honey, you can do sooo much better!).  Her tiny little self makes me want to hug her and protect her but do not get fooled because she can perfectly defend herself (she has a full poppin six pack soooo yaaa).  Happy Early Birthday!  I hope you get an Ipad for your birthday and many other incredible wishes you with for... I LOVE YOU EMILY!!!!

Korean Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Makeup Makeup Makeup

Intro

As most you of you guys know, I am obsessed with everything that has to do with Korea.  Even right now I'm listening to Kpop while writing this blog heeehee.  I decided to do a makeup tutorial on Korean makeup because their way of using makeup is a little bit different from the U.S.  It may seem kind of weird but work with me because I am actually excited to do this blog post.  Okay, let's get started!

Step 1    

Apply BB cream, foundation, lotion or what ever type of base you like to use to start with.  In Korea, they want to have lighter skin (the ideal skin color) so they usually choose a lighter shade from their body...I think our own skin color is beautiful but what ever floats your boat.

Any Base


Step 2

I am going to apply some eyeshadow primer before applying eyeshadow and eye liner because it lasts longer and prevents smudging.  I bought the Naked Pallet 3 which came with Urban Decay samples so I took advantage of this.  (I was soo excited cause I couldn't buy the fifty dollar eye primer with the other fifty dollar eyeshadow pallet.)

Samples

Step 3  

I am taking this neutral matte color (beige or light brown) as the over all base.  Koreans do not use much eye shadow because they want to aim for a natural look.  This eyeshadow just gives a small spice to your eyes.  After applying the basic "coat" for the eyes take a shimmery or sparkly pink eyeshadow to highlight under your eyes.  This gives a soft glow to your eyes and shows "aegyo" fat; if you have "aegyo" fat it is meant to make your look younger and youthful. If you want you, can use some of your light eyeshadow to highlight the brow bone too.


Beige or Light Brown

Just Smelling the Air

Step 4 

Now, I am taking a pencil liner (Bare Minerals Big and Bright in Black Coffee) to line my eyes.  It doesn't HAVE to be a pencil but I prefer it because it gives a softer look and again with the youthful kind of image.  I am lining the eye at the base and at the end of the line this is when the key part of Korean concept comes in.  You want to keep the line down as you draw it instead of winging it.  This downward eye line gives a puppy eye feel and the particular line technique is extremely popular in Korea. (Here is more information on the technique wengie.com)



In Black Coffe



Keep the eyeliner down

Step 5

The easiest step is to curl dem lashes and add coats of mascara.  There isn't a perfect way to apply but I love mascara because it makes my eyelashes apear to be longer and fuller.  (Hahahahaahah even though they are sooooo short.)

Mascara!!!

Step 6 

For blush, I am barely using (The Bare Minerals Avent-Garden) lighten my cheeks.  You want to gently fluff your cheeks with the blush brush. WIth the light skin tone and natural look, blush isn't necessary but I will use a small amount for the fun of it.


Avant-Garden



Blush Time


Step 7

For the last and final step take a shade of light pink or orange lipgloss.  The ombre look or orange lips are THE trend in Korea.  I didn't feel like wearing ombre lips but there will be a picture of it at the end of the blog.

Lip Collection
Lipzzz





Yayay we have finally finished the look and now you know how to apply a Korean styled makeup.  (You can let your hair down after all your makeup is done... yes yes) I hoped this helped and was fun to read, it was soooo hard to take these pictures and awkward because my parents thought I was taking selfies when in reality I was actually taking selfies for English!  Thank you and as always stay beautiful;)

Finished Look


Oh and here is the picture for the Korean Ombre Lips, they actually look pretty cool.  As you can see it starts with from a dark shade and transforms into a light or neutral color. Comment below if you want to try out the ombre look!

What's in My Backpack?

What's in my Backpack?

Intro

For this weeks blog, I have planned on showing you guys what I usually pack in my backpack for school.  All these items aren't limited you to what to pack but just giving an example of what I usually carry during school days.  As the year is winding down, more piles of homework is given so I think this is a great time, let's begin!

Backpack

As you can see here, my backpack is from the company TrailMaker (ClassyChic's sister gave this to me, thank you) and has continuous hearts printed on.  I think the colors compliment well with each other and it can match with every outfit. (An advantage with a pink and brown backpack)  We have laptops at our school so carry mine in a beat up laptop case which I kept for three years now.  I guess you can say that the laptop and the backpack are like a package.

Carrying both can become heavy

Pocket #1 

In my first and smallest pocket of the backpack is where I place my phone and keys. It's a pocket to keep more important items because I usually won't pull things in and out constantly.  It keeps my phone and keys safe. (Tip: Keep your phone and keys somewhere safe.  Place them in the same spot in order to not lose.)

My phone



My Keys

Pocket #2

In my second pocket or second smallest pocket is where I just keep random little knick-knacks in.  For example, my mom always nags about keeping tissues so I have a big stash of three packages.  Hey, you never know when that bloody nose will be in extreme need of tissues. The second thing I have in here are my headphones.  I always keep a pair of headphones just in case I feel like I'm in the mood for listening to music.  The last item are my erasable color pencils.  School always ask from coloring a map to color coding words; I can whip these out and be ready for any assignment.

Random/Not Random Items

Pocket #3

In my third to largest pocket, I keep more important items for school.  I would recommend everyone (especially students in high school) to keep a planner.  As your classes progress and become difficult, the planner will save your life and your your grade.  It will also keep you from becoming a crazy lunatic.  The second item I keep in my backpack are my glasses.  I despise wearing my glasses but I am forced to in order for me to see the board.  The last item is pink pearly beauty bag for products.  When ever I am wearing perfume, lotion, or deodorant;  I carry extra with me because you never know when you will be in need for these important products.  
Important Items

Pocket #4

The last and biggest pocket holds all my books, binders, and notebooks.  Usually I keep my pencil bag, homework binder, and an extra notebook (if I ever need more paper) on a regular daily basis. Today I brought my Spanish and Biology binders home to study (oh the joy) and my English book To Kill A Mocking Bird.  I can also just throw an extra thing in here since it is the biggest pocket..duh.. to carry to school. 

Inside View
    


















Three current items in my backpack





















Yayay! We are finally finished with my backpack.  Somedays it can be full and weigh up to a thousand pounds  but other days it weighs light as a feather.  I hope you guys enjoyed the post and as always, stay beautiful!

DRESS to IMPRESS

Four Spring Outfits

Intro

Helloooooo! This week I decided to do a fashion post because I never really ever posted one.  (Of course, Maddi was the one to persuade me)  It's already March and spring is coming faster than we thought.  It was like yesterday when summer just ended and we all had to go to school last year. Spring time means dressy time; the phrase can be translated to dresses and skirts.  This post will show you how to style dresses and skirts for this new spring.

Kitty Kat

This first outfit consists of two essential clothing, a crop top and a skater skirt.  Now, I am not recommending to show your belly to the world but if there is litte skin showing then it is fine.  For me, I make sure the crop top doesn't ride to high. (This is the reason skater skirts are high waisted...duh)  This outfit is great for dates, going out with friends, or shopping.  I styled it with a kitty kat hat for a more cuter look.  

Kitty Kat











Kitty Hat: Pac Sun
Crop top: Aeropostale (Bethany Mota Collection)
Skater Skirt: Aeropostale (Bethany Mota Collection)
Owl Necklace: Australia
Combat Boots: Journeys

Angel's Breath

This second outfit is a simple white dress and I wore to the Taylor Swift Concert.  It can be styled with a statement necklace or for this picture I paired it with a red scarf type belt.  Just add something to a simple colored dress to make it pop.  This dress can be worn at parties or events.
Angel's Breath











Headband: Clairs
Skater Dress: Tj Maxx
Belt: Closet
Red Converse: Journeys
Necklace: Forever 21

Funky Town

This third outfit is more of a funky one.  It's for the people who are outgoing and don't care what others think.  I looove this outfit because it's different and the vibe is cheerful.  I paired a semi crop top with this cat skirt.  (Tip: Do not style a pattern skirt with another pattern becaue it will distract and confuse the eyes) I paired the outfit with some similar color shoes and headband for the matching look.

Funky Town












Crop Top: Urban Outfitters
Skater Skirt: H&M
Headband: Forever 21
Flats: Nine West

Meet Me at the Beach

This last outfit is more low key than the other outfits.  I bought this outfit in California in this cute little boutique.  My favorite advantage of boutiques is that they have a huge supply of the same shirt.  So you won't be walking down the street seeing the girl wearing the same shirt as you. (Ummmm...embarrasing?)  I just styled this high low tank with leggings to emphasize the tank.

Meet Me at the Beach













High to low tank: Boutique in California
Black Leggings: Boutique in California
Elephant Necklace: Pac Sun
Black High Heels: Forever 21


I hope you guys liked the fashion post and comment which outfit you liked best.  As always stay beautiful ;)

Pow Wow Nails


Picture Courtesy to Eccbacc

Intro

Hello...lately I needed something new with my nails because they were starting to bore me.  Do you ever get the feeling of a dull nails?  I was thinking of what I should do for my blog, of course I went to research and saw the DIY nail art. What a perfect way to fancy up the nails and make them BEAUTIFUL!  Let's get started!

What you will need:

  • Tape
  • Three colors of nail polish
  • Paper towels
  • Scissors
  • Slumber Party (this one isn't a MUST)

Step One

Take your tape (average type) and cut the tape in three slits.  It depends on how thick or thin your lines want to be.  As seen in the picture please do NOT cut the tape in half because you are going to stick your tape onto your nails for an outline.

Any type of pattern

Put on the tape to the nail

Step Two 

Take your lightest color of nail polish and just add a base coat.  This way, when you layer it will be easier to see.
Base coat (I used Essie for all nail polish)

Step Three

Stick on your tape onto your nail, have the tape be from nail to nail.  Make sure the tape is on so if you apply the nail polish it won't move.  Have the second darkest shade for this layer.  (Tip: Let it dry for at least twenty minutes)
Apply the nail polish

Step Four 

Carefully move up the tape to make another layer.  Have the previous nail polish be dried before moving it up.  Then take the darkest shade of nail polish and apply it. (Again dry the nail polish for twenty minutes)  Tada!!!!

Wait twenty minutes before taking off 

Add another color (preferred)



 Finished Look

I hope you guys liked the tutorial and it thought it was SUPER easy:)  It takes time and practice for it to be perfect.  Don't worry if it looks messy, it took me at least four tries to look at least presentable.  (Keep trying( These are your Pow Wow Nails and as always stay beautiful;) For my idea I found the idea from debshops
