TAG: Nail Polish Story

Hello everyone!
I have another tag to share with you today. This comes from Maprang, one of my best friends. 
You can go check out her blog here: http://p-coolz.blogspot.com/


Nail polish used to be something I never thought I'd spend a lot of money on.
Anyway, this year I just completely changed my mind. Good Nail Polish is a MUST-HAVE Item for every girl. All you need is one neutral/polite color that works perfectly for everyday look, one reddish color for keeping you feel confident about yourself, one sparkling color for your night out and one favorite color that's going to be your little baby. 


However, 4 are not enough for me, of course. I love collecting things and once I start to do it, I will keep collecting until I get bored. Now nail polish starts to take a little space in my makeup collection and I know its collection will be growing a lot more in the future. We'll see. Maybe I will do mini nail polish collection if I have more than ten of them. 


Hey, I shouldn't be rambling too much. Let's get started with the tag! :D
  
What’s your favorite nail polish company?
OPI for now. Maybe I'd try Essie soon. 

Glitter or no glitter? 
Both. I used to hate glitter but now I just think it's fun to wear.


OPI or china glaze or Essie?
OPI. Because here it's the most popular one, easy to find and have a wide range of colors. Essie has an amazing pastel and soft shade which I'd love to try out as well but it's hard to find the right color for me here in Thailand since it's not as popular as OPI. I can't say much about China Glaze but I've heard they also have a great quality. Anyway, I go for OPI this time.


When do you start to take off your nail polish?
I don't even buy my own nail polish remover. Seriously. I just take it off when I go back to my house and borrow the remover from my aunt. Maybe when I get bored with the old color and want to try the new one or when my nails are too ugly to look at OR when my mom says: "Go take it off, girl! and paint the new color! That's super ugly!" Then I know it's about the time. 


What’s your favorite color on your nails?
Any color will work just fine. I don't really have favorite color when it comes to nail polishes.

Darks or brights?
Dark. Bright color makes my fingers and nails looks a bit ugly than they really are.


What are you wearing on your nails right this moment?
Nothing. I should have worn some of my fav colors during my holiday in October but I had to work with paper-mache and those newspapers would definitely turn my perfect nail color to something gross. And now I'm in other province of Thailand and didn't have any makeup with me as well as nail polishes so my nails are just enjoying the fresh air without having anything on. Anyway, in September I wore OPI Tickle My France-y. 


That's all for the tag today! Really like talking about it but hate for not having any of them around :( 
See you in my next post!
xoxo :) 

Beauty in Kitchen#1: Rub Rub ...In the Shower

Hello guys! I'm so excited because today is my first "beauty in kitchen" post! It's basically going to be about DIY beauty stuff and beauty recipes and you can do it by yourself using some ingredients in the kitchen!
However, I guess Thai's kitchen might have something quite different from other country's. So if you're reading this and you're not Thai and you can't find some ingredients that I'll be talking about, I'm really sorry T_T

So yeah, I think we should get started!

RUB RUB IN THE SHOWER!

This recipe is pretty simple using only two ingredients; ripe tamarind (มะขามเปียก! I guess that what it's called in English lolz -- If you're not living in Thailand, you can go to Thai grocery store and simply tell them you want MA-KHAM-PIAK) and milk. Just mix two things together and when you wanna use it, make a ripe tamarind like a little snowball. Rub your skin gently with it, focusing on some areas like your elbows and knees. This thing is perfect for removing dull skin and brightening up your skin as well. The ripe tamarind helps removing all the dirt and softening your skin. You can also add honey to moisturize your skin. This does not smell good but it's not that bad either.

Some says that this recipe helps with acne scars too but I've not tried it yet so I just can't tell. It's safe to use with your face but please rub it as gently as you can because your face's skin is more sensitive so it might be irritated.

After rubbing your skin, just take a shower as usual. This recipe can be used everyday but I'd recommend using it twice a week or when you feel like your skin needs a big cleaning-up!

PS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU"RE NOT ALLERGIC WITH ANYTHING MENTIONED ABOVE BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS RECIPE!

November's Plan

Hello November!

I can't believe how fast October has passed and now we're in the month of November! Since it's the first day of the month, I decide to do my November's beauty-related-plan! Because I just want to do so many things and want to start them this month! Let's see I've got!

• EXERCISES (yoga,dancing,running,going to fitness,whatsoever) at least one hour per day! Is it too much? I can't tell since my college hasn't started yet. But I hope I can make it. 
• DRINK TWO BOTTLES OF WATER PER DAY I know it's not enough but I'm the one who prefers tea over water. So I guess two will be a good start.
• EAT MORE VEGGIES I might eat salad three times a week. Or add more veggies to my regular meals.
• 5 MINS. YOGA RIGHT AFTER WAKING UP This will help me a lot not to fall asleep again.
• DOING NATURAL MASK TWO TIMES A WEEK I like using honey and oatmeal. They are amazing and I feel so good after using them. Oatmeal will help exfoliating my skin while honey will help moisturizing it. I can't be lazy now! 
• DO NOT EAT AFTER TEN EXCEPT FOR AN EMERGENCY CASE No snack. No food. Only water (coffee and tea will be fine during exam's week but I will try not to go for them) 
• SCRUBBING LIPS ONCE A WEEK I may use sugar and maybe a bit of olive oil or honey. Uhh yummy! 
• DOING HAIR TREATMENT ONCE A WEEK It's time to take care of my hair. I might use some products from Boots or Watson. Have found some interesting ones. 
• SMILE FOR MYSELF EVERYDAY Yeah! Feel good about myself before going through the hard day! A one little smile will do! 

As you can see it's such a simple plan. But it's the plan that I've never ever succeeded. I will try to do everything seriously as planned this month becos it's time to start doing something new. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
