Last month the skin on my face became extra dry and flaky. I immediately panicked, because this has never happened to me before. Call it aging. Blame it on the harsh weather. Whatever the reason, I knew that my regular moisturizer just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I dove into my bag of samples and found […]
My natural hair is stick straight and has the tendency to hang straight down with no body or movement, as you can see from this photo of myself at 16: The Asian glamour photos that were so popular in the 90s. No matter how short I cut my hair, how much layers were cut in, […]
Reader Amy suggested that I try Photoshopping under-eye fat deposits on myself to see if my theory proves correct. What do you think? Do my eyes look larger with the under-eye bags? For those who are wondering, this picture was taken after one too many drinks at a wedding, when I proceeded to steal the […]
One thing I noticed lately is the prevalence of Korean celebrities who have large fat deposits under their eyes. This picture of the new girl group Rainbow was what prompted my new curiosity. Koreans (well, Asians in general) can have very warped views on attractiveness and appearances. I wondered if puffy under-eyes now counted as […]
I read on StyleList yesterday that the cone bra, or the “pointy bra,” is making a comeback. I have always loved the fashion and trends of the 1950s and 1960s so I’m a bit intrigued. Of course, I would draw the line at something as extreme as this. But the photo of Marilyn Monroe above, […]
I just read on Blogdorf Goodman that Prescriptives will be closing its doors in 2010. While I don’t use their makeup line much, I have been a hardcore fan of the Prescriptives All Clean Fresh Foaming Cleanser for years. In fact, it is the ONLY cleanser I have used in 2001! Does anyone know where […]
Having grown up in the U.S., I have heard on more than one occasion that celebrities possess larger heads compared to those of the general population, the idea being that the larger head will have larger features, which will show better on screen. There is even an episode of Entourage where Turtle proclaims, “The bigger […]
Last night’s girls night out was one of the craziest in recent memory. I won’t go into too much details, but suffice it to say that I stumbled home at an unreasonable hour and spent a good portion of the morning hugging the toilet. Although we had made dinner plans, my friend E told me […]
Harro! Remember me, the girl with the non-existent eyelashes? Last year I tried eyelash extensions and loved the look. I had long, sexy lashes for the first time in my life! It was a miracle! After a few courses, however, I decided that the treatments were making too big a dent in my wallet. Back […]
Ever since I watched the first two seasons of Bravo’s Blow-Out, I’ve wanted to try the Jonathan line of hair products. A couple of months ago, I picked up a sample jar of Jonathan’s Dirt at my local Sephora. It was the most popular product in Jonathan’s product line and I was tempted to try […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
