Bio-essence - Bio-Energy Snail Secretion Repair Serum

 Cracked this thing open a while back

So! I think some of you may remember me buying this about a year ago in a Sasa package because it was on sale lol. I was skeptical because I've used a snail BB cream with bad results and I thought maybe its the "snail" ingredient in it that caused my skin to break out (I still don't really know what caused the break out) but I was pretty hesitant on buying this product. Since it was on sale though, I decided to give it a go.

I bought this product on the Sasa website for about $10, they're selling it now for like $30 >.< but every now and then this product does reduce to $10 you just have to be lucky to catch it on sale.

 Much better bottle design that their Whitening serum

This serum is so much better than the whitening serum by Bio-essence, in terms of bottle design, consistency of the product (how the serum feels) and how well the serum works.

I still have an expectation that the suction would fill the tube all the way but it only fills partially, but I think its the weirdo in me that wants it to fill up so I can play with it lol.

Old lady hands lol

3-4 drops is all I need for my whole face and neck.

The serum is:

• Watery in texture
• Not oily at all
• Absorbs really well
• Not thick or heavy feeling on the skin
• A little goes a long way

This is a great serum, I feel that my skin feels softer after using this and I noticed my laugh line is not as noticeable when I use it (but when I go off of it, my laugh line is noticeable) So I feel like if I used it all the time (I only use it at night) it would have a better impact on my skin than it does now but I'm not really sure what the lasting power is on this product.

I'm gonna wait till this goes on sale again (I'm a poor student at the moment lol) and repurchase. I like it much better than the whitening serum I used by Bio-essence.

One of my new years resolution is to take better care of my body and skin so I may just invest into a more expensive serum but I'm not gonna let this go if its on sale lol.

Procedural Final Sabbotage

So at my school we do a procedural final for my program. Basically its me + 3 instructors and my patient and I have to pretend nobody but my patient is there and I have to attempt a successful blood collection.

We had about 2 or so months to practice our blood collection techniques plus scenarios (for example: how do you collect blood on someone with a hearing impairment? or if the patient is in a wheel chair? coma? etc) lol but for our exam we had 3 things. For my procedural final I had a patient who was blind, in a wheel chair and has a fistula (a permanent infusion of a vein and artery used for dialysis)

I asked my good friend to come, since he did offer to come a long time ago but I got the feeling that he was trying to fuck me over. It was 3 weeks before the exam and I was getting a little nervous since I have never collected blood on him before. So I called him and he said he got 2 days off so I could practice on him. So I said that's great! I can practice.

I did not want to go into this procedural exam blind, if we got 1 critical step incorrect it would be an automatic fail if we had 2 non-critical steps incorrect then we would fail, so our instructor told us to practice practice practice on the person that we are bringing for our exam.

So fast forward to a week before our procedural exam. I called up my friend on the Wednesday and said to him "you coming to my class today?" he says "no I'm coming next Wednesday (the day before my exam) after 3PM so I'll probably be there at 5" I was like WTF because exams start on Wednesday at 5PM and the class is inaccessible at 4PM so they can set up for the exam so I would not get to practice at all if I used him because it'll take him over an hour to get to my school. Then he said to me "but I got Thursday off so you can use me for the exam just do it without practicing." >.<

That really pissed me off, I told him the exact dates that I needed him to be there and the time months in advance and I feel like he purposely set it up that way.

I was like FUCK IT, I'm not going to take the risk of failing so my classmate asked her mom if I could use her for the exam, which she did and I passed because I got to practice on her beforehand. The both of them are seriously the nicest people I've ever met, I hope she gets the student award cause I would nominate her in a heartbeat.

I told him that its not going to work out since I have to have practice before my exam, "oh ok, I have plans already anyway" he ended up going drinking with one of our mutual friends who's family is really wealthy and I know he butters her up a lot on purpose, which pissed me off even more, I guess I know who my true friends are.

Its not the first time he's fucked over friends for school either or me for that matter, more on that later.

Anyway, I'm so glad I passed that exam and I'm glad I didn't use my friend and I don't plan on helping him later. He told me he wants to apply to the same program as me and he expects me to keep all my books and notes for him, yeah fuck that shit. Why should I help him when it seems like he purposely tried to fuck me over on a critical exam?

*sigh* I need new friends lol.
