3 Ballerina Tea

You will die

To commemorate the end of classes I'm going to give you a review of something interesting...

Every time I get my period I get constipated (TMI I know lol) and I was at the point where I was overly bloated and wearing some of my pants were uncomfortable so when I was at the Asian supermarket I saw this and decided to pick it up.

I think the last time I saw this product was when I was 12 years old? My mom picked it up and I always thought it was like a dieters tea or like a weight management tea but no, it will kill you lol.

 Packaging

On the packaging it does warn you of having to poo (a lot) for the first 1-2 days it didn't really say anything about being a constipation relieving tea.. I just remember Ashley taking it and having to poo a lot so I was like ok I'll try it (lol sorry Ash!) If you have digestion problems (like myself) then expect more stomach cramping than others.

When my friend is constipated he uses a giant medicinal bottle he buys from Wal-mart and it just seems like its bad for his body, its full of chemicals, he tells me it takes 10 minutes for it to work which doesn't sound healthy to me... this tea takes a few hours to work (for me it takes about 6 hours to work) but it varies between person to person so I guess its good because at least it gives you time to absorb some of the nutrients from the food you've eaten earlier.

Steeped for 5 minutes

It tastes earthy.. but not too bad, the package says that you can sweeten it with honey to make it taste better. It suggests on the package to steep this with 10 oz of water, but I sort of just steeped it in one cup of hot water lol so I guess it made it more potent than usual LOL (don't do what I do please lol)

Overall if you want to "cleanse" your body use this, as long as:

- Your not on your period
- Don't plan on having sex
- Make sure you are close to a toilet
- Don't have to work or go to school that day or the day after

Then yeah use this lol. I am pretty sure this is not an everyday tea, I think it would be too much to handle for your body. The benefit of this tea is that you feel better after you poop everything out (if you are constipated lol) and that this tea is super cheap I paid less than $5 for this tea and it comes with 19 bags of tea.

*this is not a weight loss method

November Updates 2013 (small haul)

YES! Classes are almost over! but then the final exams begin... lol

Not many food photos this month O_O lol

 I got this on sale! ^__^

I bought this at Top Shop! Originally the price was $84, My friend bought a very similar denim jacket for like $60 huhuhu... I got this for $24! and I got an additional 10% off because I'm a student ^__^ I bought it a few sizes bigger than me because I like the "boyfriend" fit. Plus I really like the light wash on this since its winter and everyone is wearing dark colors it creates a nice contrast for my outfits if I'm wearing dark clothes underneath.

 I've been eyeing these!

I saw these earlier in the month at H & M when I went shopping with my friend and I was pretty unsure about these so we went around trying to find something better. For some reason I've been really into platform shoes lol, They make me look so tall! and some don't have a horrible dip in them that make your feet hurt. 

The reason why I was unsure about these was because they're suede and I wanted a leather shoe but for like $50 it's a pretty good deal. I thought to myself "if they have my size then I'll go buy them" basically leaving it to fate lol, since the H & M in the downtown area is so busy I can barely find my size sometimes (shoe size 6-6.5) and these were the last ones! AND! I knew someone wanted these because they buried them waaaay in the back and covered it in clothes so no one can find them LOL but yeah I got them! WHAT NOW!? lol

 I've been wearing sparkle nails lately

Tis the season! Its basically the winter season! and I love how festive and sparkly all the decorations are so I've been wearing sparkle nails lately, I've gotten a few compliments from strangers on these -___-' lol.

 My lips are super dry!

I've graduated to a larger Vaseline jar lol. I don't think this is as effective as a super moisturizing chapstick lol but I was using this as a lip balm since I had that wind burn a while back and Vaseline healed that up but I find my lips aren't as moisturized >.<

 Been lovin this new Pokemon! lol

I got this as a gift from my friend. Basically he has the X version and he wanted the pokemon from this version LOL! But its a pretty addicting game, I think I beat the pokemon league after like a week of playing lol. Its different from the original game (red, blue, yellow, etc) but still familiar, you know?

Simple scented candles

Covers the stink in the room.. lol! I've been really enjoying vanilla scented things recently for some reason, it makes everything in the room smell good. I got this one at Ikea for like $2 lol and it lasts quite a while so I think its worth it plus it comes in a little glass, so extra cups! lol

 The weirdest smelling quiche

As soon as I heated this up and sniffed it, it smelled like fish O..O what was in it? Goat cheese, spinach and artichoke... lol I guess it was the smell of the cheese. It tasted alright.. lol

 Dayre

Trying to do small daily blog updates with this app add me at StylePop101, I have a few updates already and if you have your own blog its a nice and easy way to do updates everyday especially if you transit and need to kill time.

**********

I get to choose classes this coming week for the next semester, hopefully I'll get into the ones that I want >.< unlike last time...

Black friday is coming up! I hope to get some stuff for cyber monday ^__^ bwahaha I need new clothes.. lol

October 2013 Updates (better late than never)

Midterms are over now I just have to endure another month of classes till winter break and then I have a whole month of NOTHING!!!!!!!! Until January... lol. Its a little late for October updates but its not like anything really interesting is happening in my life right now lol, plus its the weekend and I have nothing better to do LOL

 So I'm not sure if you know what Hoddeok is but Steve tried to make it

He's never made it before (or anything lol) Its basically a pancake with stuff in the centre and..

HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MIX ANYTHING! LOL!! Yeah he's never really cooked anything before.. turned out interesting.. lol. He ditched the fork and decided to just mix with his hands lol.

 I was torn between these shoes

I ended up purchasing neither of them lol because I wasn't sure which ones I wanted but I think I'll purchase them later. *the ones on the right were on sale so I ordered them online* ^__^

 Cheese Ramen!

I thought this was a trap lol but it ended up being good. When you mix the cheese in the soup it makes it slightly salty and creamy which is quite nice.

 Ashley came up for Canadian Thanksgiving and we went out for Dim Sum!!

Some of you may have saw this on my instagram. It took us forever to get to this place! It was a little pricy for what it was so probably not going to go back there lol but the food was alright.

 Ashley and her doggies! <3

 Forgot about taking a photo of the actual Thanksgiving dinner lol

but got a shot of the dessert

Pavlova and Pumpkin Pie? YES PLEASE!

 Went to the bakehouse for lunch with Ashley and her mother in law!

This place is AWESOME! Best baked goods ever!

 What I got a brie sandwich and potato and leek soup

 Ashley got a soup of some kind.. LOL I don't remember

 Any of you know what Soondae is?

Its stuffed pork intestine (I think..) The soup is pretty good and spicy, its mostly bean sprouts and cabbage and the soondae.

 Egg nog is out in stores now!! O_O

 

Samurai Sushi!

I heard so much about this place. Mainly because it has HUGE rolls! I could barely finish one and you can't really put the whole thing in your mouth unless you want to look like a monster lol.

Bubble waffle and Tom Yum noodle soup!

There's a place in Richmond where you pay like $10 and get this! Its a really good deal! Although the bubble waffle isn't so fantastic lol but its not terrible.

What me and Steve did for Halloween lol

Every year it seems like we just go to the mall and see a movie. He's not interested in going out with friends or whatever >.< we live boring lives...

Donkatsu!

You like breaded pork chops? There's a really good place in Coquitlam called Daeji, tons of options to put on your cutlet! We got a curry one and a spicy cheese one, I recommend the spicy cheese one :P

Breakfast for dinner!

When Steve and I started dating we would go to Denny's at like midnight, a lot. To the point where the employees started to recognize us lol. I got a chorizo omelette and I LOVE hashbrowns, its a breakfast must! Oh potatoes how do I live without you? lol

Had a double date dinner!

For some reason my boyfriend and his friends never went to Milestones restaurant before so we went! Its not very often I order a chicken dish (I only ordered this because it had mushrooms in it lol) but this was really good, slightly on the salty side. 

 

Pumpkins!

My dad went nuts in the summer and planted tons of fruit and vegetables and look how many pumpkins he grew! O_O There's way more than these too! My mom just put them on the stairs as a decorative touch since it was Halloween.

Shanghai food!

I wrote about this awkward dinner on my Dayre blog and on a previous post. The only upside to this dinner was that the food was delicious.

Yup! Mostly food pics lol, there's not much I am doing lately besides going to school and going out to eat :P But since Christmas is coming up I hope there's going to be more interesting things happening!

Talk to you soon!

Rude Neighbours

We're probably not the best neighbours in terms of how the house looks and monet's barking lol but I'm guessing most of the people in our neighbourhood know that my mom has some sort of mental illness that's why she hoards shit and does weird things to the house.

Earlier today we took monet out for a walk and while we were walking this random white lady was riding her bike a head of us and when her friend came down the street they stopped and she said "hey look" and pointed at us and started snickering, I turned to Steve and was like wtf? he's like "i don't know.." and when they were riding off (cowards, cause they can't hold a normal conversation) they started yelling at us about some fucking statue that went missing off their property.

Here's what happened previously:

My mom went over to their place and wanted to buy some statue and they said no. So then randomly one day that neighbour comes to the house and knocks on the door and says to my mom who pokes her head out the window "were you the one that wanted to buy my statue?" my mom "oh yeah, is it for sale?" she said "no someone fucking stole my statue and you wanted it and if you stole it I'm going to call the fucking police and charge you! because it was really expensive" and I was like wow how rude do you have to be just ask politely like a normal person.

When she left and my dad asked my mom if she took it, she said no, I asked her later if she took it and she said no, I haven't seen this statue (I don't even know what its supposed to look like) and my dad hasn't seen it either (me and steve live on the bottom floor of the house so I'm not really aware on what's upstairs) So I can't say for sure that my mom did take it since neither my dad or me have seen it, I'm pretty sure we don't have it and if we did have it. Because of her shitty attitude I want to break it LOL, I know that's no better than being a bitch like those neighbours but here's the kicker:

They're the ones who hit monet with a truck back in the summer. They own the truck that monet got hit with (since its parked at their property all the time) the guy who hit her also said that they live in the house where these people live so I think in a way it's either karma that their stupid statue is gone. They never even came over to check up on the dog and the fucking guy that was driving the car NEVER APOLOGIZED!!!!!!! so yeah Karma.

I can't help but feel like they're going to do something stupid/dangerous like break into our house or something. There's a few things that seem weird like if that stupid statue was SO expensive then why leave it outside? Especially when Halloween was near because there's tons of weird teenagers that like breaking things in the neighbourhood and the way they handled things was super immature I mean pointing and snickering? Then yelling at people they've never seen before?

Next time I see them I'm just going to flip my lid if they're rude like that ever again.

I hold grudges lol especially to people who are super rude whom I've never met before.

Money and Relationships

I wish Steve was more aware of what he does and says around people instead of blaming them when I point out some of his issues.

We went out for dinner last night with my good friend and her boyfriend from college at a Chinese restaurant. We went to the bank beforehand because I told him "Its a Chinese restaurant its probably cash only, you should take out some cash" and he says to me "Why would they have cash only? Most places accept debit/credit so I'm not taking out cash" so in my head I was like this is going to be complicated later.

Generally when I go out with my friends I like to take out cash if its an Asian restaurant (for some reason most of them here accept cash only) and its better to pay in cash if its a group of people because its easier to figure out who paid for what.

Anyways, we ordered a few dishes to share amongst ourselves and when the bill came it was $60 including tip it was about $66 so I put down $20, my friend and her boyfriend put down $40 and Steve just sat there and was like "do they accept debit/credit?" I was like "seriously? this is why you take out cash" and then he asks "Does this place accept American dollars?" >.< !!!!!!!!!!! yes because most family run restaurants accept foreign currency ...

So my friend and her boyfriend ended up having to pay the difference because I only took out $20 and put down all the change I could and we all left awkwardly. I did scold him in the car on the way home he said he'll pay the whole thing next time but I doubt he will and then he got SUPER defensive and said "if she would just check her phone when you asked if it was cash only we wouldn't have this problem!!" even so I wish he would just take responsibility or even thank them for the meal but that wasn't the only issue.

At some point in the dinner he said "I can hit my girlfriend whenever I want (he doesn't) but I choose not to" and we were all like silent and awkward because he wants to be a police officer and its something you probably don't want to say out loud in a public place, even if it was a joke. When I brought this up today he said "they're just closed minded" -___-'

Financially this isn't the first time something like this has happened with the same friend. We went out for dim sum once and the bill was $50 my friend only had a $50 bill and didn't want to use her credit card. I gave my friend $20 and Steve took the $50 and paid with his credit card, the whole amount so basically he didn't pay for any of the food and she was like wtf and said that she's never seen him pay for anything.

Most of the time when we go out with his friends one of his friends pays for him because he says he's totally broke, which isn't the case. He's just saving money for stupid shit LOL. I talked to his friend about that today and he said that he knows that he has no money and one day he'll pay him back -__-' does he really think that his girlfriend who lives with him doesn't know him at all? Then he said "the person who is most financially stable should pay" -___-' !!!!!!! Ok I must be dealing with really inconsiderate people. Even if you make more money doesn't mean you should pay for people who  make less money than you... if you choose to go out you should pay for yourself, its not the responsibility of others!

Argh its just giving me a headache and I know that when Steve gets home he's going to rage and break something and he'll blame it on others instead of taking responsibility. A lot of people don't like his cocky attitude (I can't blame them)

Don't get me wrong I like that he's confident (most of the time) but when he's around certain people it just triggers his douchebag side. The problem is talking to him about certain issues because he doesn't like to talk about serious topics.

So tell me, how would you go about this issue?

Poop.

*update* Now that I think more about it I wish my friend would have handled this situation better than she did. I mean she could have said something then and there (he did ask if there was an atm but they said nothing) instead of staring at him all awkwardly or even given us a heads up on this place being cash only since we've never been to this place before. I'm not sure what I want to do but Steve is still oblivious to people's feelings and he should town down his cocky attitude when its someone sensitive. So far its ended on bad terms since neither of them want to see each other ever again :(

Etude House: Correct & Care CC Cream Glow

Second CC Cream Review!!

I'm not sure if some of you read my CC cream review by The Saem and some of you might remember that I couldn't use that because I broke out which made me sad since I waited for it to come in the mail for a long time lol.

So what are the functions of this CC cream? It has 8 in 1 functions, according to the box:

- Anti-Aging

- Stress Relief

- Hydration

- Whitening

- Sun Protection (SPF 30/PA++)

- Tone-up

- Smooth Texture

- Luminosity

This formula is more like a primer than it is a BB cream since this doesn't really provide any color coverage, its just like a cream with extra skincare benefits.

I'm not sure if your supposed to mix it with BB cream, foundation or just apply it directly onto your skin but I prefer to put it directly on instead of diluting whatever product I choose to put on afterwards. If you choose to only use the CC cream by itself then your face will be abnormally pale lol.

 Its quite small and it has a pump!

Its smaller than I expected but still worth the price. I've never really tried any products from Etude House except for the sheet masks and they aren't very good... lol. But I like this product and the packaging is always super cute and pretty.

I'm not sure if you can see it but there are little black flecks in the cream

I have to say that a little goes a long way, when I first got this product I was kind of like "oh its so small, I'm going to have to use a little at a time" but a little does go a long way, it just spreads out really well. Its that time of year where my skin is overly dry so this wouldn't be enough for me to moisturize my skin (moisturize and then put this on top) but I like this a lot! 

I'm not actually sure if it does all the things it claims it does (have to use it longer to find out) but I feel like the texture in my skin feels smoother when I put on foundation on top of this.

So Yes! Give this a try guys its definitely worth the price and it didn't break me out (unlike the saem one... lol)
