Tony Moly Peach Anti-Aging Hand Cream

Steve thinks it looks like a boob

Description (from Sasa): Tony Moly Peach Anti-aging Hand Cream contains extracts of peach and apricot, which makes it a whitening product. Besides, it contains adenosine, an anti-wrinkle ingredient. It gives hands sufficient nutrients, diminishes wrinkles of hands and makes hands elastic again. 

**********

Before I went to Korea, I really wanted to get this hand cream mainly because it looks like a peach, says anti-aging in the title and its super cheap. I do notice other peoples hands and some of my friends have wrinkly/blotchy skin and I'm like wtf? YOU ARE MY AGE! I have no idea what they are doing... so that basically set me on the path to find a cheap hand cream lol.

I really don't think this actually does anything though lol. I put it on morning (after showering) and night time (before I go to sleep) but I don't think my hands are that wrinkly anyways so I think that's why its not really affecting my hands in any way (or is it...?)



What Do I Think Of This Product?
The cream is not too thick and not too thin (like greek yogurt? lol) and it does smell like peaches.. it doesn't translate that well onto the skin though (the scent) it does smell kind of off, maybe I'm not washing my hands enough? LOL. It moisturizes quite a bit but my hands aren't that dry these days (maybe because of this?) and sometimes I feel like it leaves some residue on my hands...

Where Can You Get This Product?

I was going to buy this online at Sasa (for about $7) but then I decided to buy it when I went to Korea. When I was in Korea I bought a 5 pack that was $20 at the Lotte duty free, I gave a few away as gifts mainly because they looked like peaches and people weren't sure what they were lol, it's more of a novelty item it seems.

You can buy it on Ebay for cheaper and free shipping but it might take longer to get to you (from my experience if you are buying from a South Korean seller they tend to ship things really quick)

I would probably buy it again but I want to see what else is out there but I might come back to this eventually. Plus it's kind of awkward walking around with this in your purse lol.

Back Home

It's already a shit show!!!

One of my parents oldest friends passed away and their funeral was yesterday and SHE WAS THE NICEST LADY EVER! seriously! she was the nicest Vietnamese lady I've ever met and such horrible things have happened to her. My mom always treated her like crap, for some reason the nice lady and one of my mom's shitty friends (we called her goo-ma) were in some sort of feud I have no idea what it was about but I'm betting you that goo-ma is happy that she passed away. My mom and goo-ma would always prank phone call her and say horrible things to her and then hang up and then laugh about it, WTF. It just goes to show evil never dies. I don't know how many times I've wished death upon my mom or goo-ma for being such horrible human beings.

Anyways my cousin emailed me about the funeral and I went to tell my mom what time it was and where it was and my parents just looked at me like oh its not worth it. My dad kept shaking his head and kept saying no and I was like seriously? You've known this lady for more than 40 years, she hooked you guys up and you treat her like this? WTF.

She used to pick up me and my sister at school when my mom would forget to pick us up and she would make us super delicious pho :( she also gave me nice boots once and some clothes. I'm just appalled about how my parents treated her.

The main reason why my parents didn't want to go is because they knew they weren't going to get any money, the reason why my mom went to Colorado is because she knew she would get money from some relatives but she can't take the time to drive 20 minutes to her funeral WTF. Plus my mom was super mad at her daughter for not calling her personally and telling her about the funeral (SHE HAS OTHER PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH THAN CALLING YOU!) stupid bitch seriously.

My parents are just horrible horrible people.

Just wait till my parents pass away they won't get a funeral just a cremation and I'll probably leave them somewhere and forget about them because they're not worth my time even after death.

**********

Steve's mom is here but she didn't piss me off yet... she's freaking out at Steve for playing video games and not finishing university because he wants to be a police officer so he chose to go to a criminal justice school to learn about criminology and law enforcement. She's never wanted him to be a cop but to be a robot in an office. He finally got a police interview somewhere and she said to him "if you don't get that job then you have to quit school in Canada and move back to Korea and study there" WHAT AN EXCELLENT PARENT!! SUPPORTING THEIR CHILD'S DREAMS!

WHAT THE FUCK AH?

Seriously what parent does that? Steve doesn't want to work in an office, I understand that Korea's a homogenous society and most people work in an office but she should understand what her son wants and what he doesn't want, instead of coercing him into doing things he doesn't want to do. He's also an adult capable of making his own decisions so he doesn't really need the support of his mom well maybe financially but his mom doesn't work anyways. She'll never see him as an adult, she always says he's too young even though he's 23 and she got married when she was 24 wtf lol.

I don't understand why she would want a Canadian citizenship (besides pension $$$) if she wants her whole family to live in Korea and keep the Canadian citizenship wtf. Can someone please explain this to me? because my mind is just blown from this situation. Steve says he doesn't want to live in Korea at all and if she forced him to he would just refuse but knowing him he would go and tell me later "You don't understand its Korean culture, I have to listen to my parents" he has no balls lol I know he'll go if his parents tell him.

What would you do??

Outfit Post #4

Post By Amanda


I always wear casual outfits... I need a new wardrobe.. lol

I love the oversized shirt look because:
1. it hides my belly fat :P
2. it somehow makes my legs look thinner (at least in my opinion lol)
3. They're very comfortable

Korea Trip 2012

Post by Amanda
Note: Really long post

I went to Korea in August with my boyfriend and stayed with his family (big mistake)
Somebody once told me "its not a vacation if you have to stay with someone else's family"
and boy were they right, it was horrible.

When I go again I'll probably only stay for a week in a hotel NOT in the summer; I like my privacy and don't like being told what to do constantly and I don't like being constantly hot and sweaty either.

We flew from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with Asiana Airlines, our flight was about 11 hours or so. The good thing about Asiana is that if you get their club card you collect points! We went round-trip with them and I earned 10,000 points which means if I were to go to Korea again I can fly to Jeju island for free from Seoul (not sure if its round trip) but its pretty cool. Korean flight attendants are so nice too! they were really professional and well groomed their standard of service is way above North America's standards and their English is quite good too.

We parked at the Park n Jet for close to $100 for two weeks and there's a free shuttle bus that will take you to the airport and also pick you up when you arrive.

 Gorgeous day to fly.

Skin Food: Peach Sake Toner and Serum

Post by Amanda


I bought this product when I was in Korea in August. I had seen it before on Sasa and I really wanted to order it because I have really really oily skin but it was always sold out.

I bought the L'oreal Hydrafresh Anti-Shine Gel (will post on this later) earlier in the year because I had watched a few Youtube guru's claiming that it mattifies the skin so I was intrigued to buy it. I have to say it did not work for me. I wore it for a few hours and then would get oily, just goes to show not everyone is the same.
