Love Me Like You do Acoustic Cover Original by Ellie Goulding

I am so thankful with my husband for leaving his old MAC computer here at my in laws house. I tried downloading Garageband Application for my music editing. It works perfectly!!! I feel like I have my own music studio in my room!.

Anyway, this is my second video I did. I tried using guitar while recording and it worked pretty well. No cuts and buts hahaha :P

This is the Soundtrack song from the movie 50 Shades of Grey. I haven't watched the movie yet. Most of the people said it sucked! haha..


Hope you enjoy this song.

REVIEW: EQUATE vs PROACTIV Which is better?

Again again again... :) I am going to make a reviews with the products I have been using in my daily face routine. I have a mild acne problem on my face and I am kind of frustrated about it. If you have a problem like mine, you aren't alone.

I tried using Proactiv for more than a month. (NOT THE PROACTIV PLUS)

1. Renewing Cleanser

2. Revitalizing Toner 

3. Repairing Treatment

PERSONAL VERDICT
(FOR PROACTIV) 

1.  I still had pimples maybe 5-7? Not sure if it's just because I used new products.
2. EXPENSIVE. Got them from amazon around 40 bucks. errr... Proactiv website is not selling these products anymore.




RIGHT NOW: I am currently using EQUATE PRODUCTS.
PERSONAL VERDICT

(FOR EQUATE): 

PROS:

1. I love it. 
2. Affordable 
     Amazon: $ 23.20
     Walmart: $11.97 ( you know where to buy now hehe. But they say it's always sold out in some Walmart store. I got mine from Walmart online.
3. Product is good for 2 months or more it depends on how much you use them. Its super worth it. 
4. Less pimples. Im still having some before and after period but thats it.
5. Not stingy
6. It doesnt have a strong scent. I think i like it.



CONS:

1. It doesn't remove acne marks. ( i have a lot right now)

March 1st of 2015: Getting Closer and Closer!!!

We are currently having a long winter here in Winchester Virginia. Usually, March is the month that most people are already preparing for spring time. Until now, we still have snow and sleet all around.

I love snow though haha. But you can't stay outside for a long time. :(

Taken from my window 5:17PM

I'm gonna miss snow when I get to California in few months. But I can't wait to wear my summer/spring clothes.

I am currently working in my blogs and music videos soon. It's been a while since the last time I recorded videos on youtube.

Also, I need to study for my Real Estate Salesperson Exam for California. :( SO much much much!!!

hehe...

Anyway I rather be busy like this than doing nothing. Makes every day faster.

We only live once. We need to spend every moment of our life being happy.

 Everything happens for a reason just have patience.

I am still missing my husband everyday, every minute and every second. Oh well. I wish him good luck for his exam too this week!

I LOVE YOU MAX! Good Luck and I know you can do it.

MY SELFIE FOR THE DAY (NO MAKE UP) :P :P :P

DIY Honey and Lemon Mask REMEDY for ACNE MARKS!!!

LET'S GO NATURAL!!!     

So yeah I've been trying to remove my acne marks for months now and it's really getting slow :(

I will post my daily skin routine soon so you will have the idea how much stuff do i use just to get rid of them.

As I've researched I decided to try this DIY Honey and Lemon Mask REMEDY for ACNE PIMPLE Marks and Scars.

Maybe the cure is just available in our kitchen or the regular grocery store.

(Courtesy of http://urbanbushbabes.com/)

BENEFITS OF HONEY LEMON MASK

- Clears acne
- Gentle cleansing agent
- Dries out pimple
- Minimizes pore size
- Smooths skin
- Reduces redness and instantly soothes irritation
- Makes skin glow
- Relieves dryness and even flaking
- Honey is a humectant so it hydrates skin
- Brightens skin
- Evens out skin tone ( due to sun damage or blemishes) and helps scarring
- The bacteria cannot live in an environment covered in honey; due to honeys antiseptic qualities

Almost all of my skin problems will be solve by this. (i hope)

Ingredients:

- 1/2 of a real lemon or a few drops of lemon oil (it has the same effect)
- 2 teaspoons of honey (Manuka honey has higher antibacterial properties, but regular honey is fine too).

Directions:
Squeeze 1/2 of the lemon into a bowl, mix in honey and stir until its like cough syrup. Apply mask to freshly cleansed face, Make sure you don’t exfoliate your skin before adding this mask because the lemon juice can make it sting. Let the mask sit for about 20 minutes, and try not to talk. Rinse off with cold water (helps close pores) and pat dry your face. You can do this every morning or every night. Apply a good moisturizer afterwards. Give it some time to see results

ACTUAL ME USING :)

NOTE: This is just my second day of using the mask

PREPARE THINGS YOU NEED:

• Lemon Juice (squeezed)
• Honey

Im using Golden Blossom Honey (Genuine Natural Pure Honey) 

(cost like 35$ for 3 in Amazon i guess you can just use regular honey cz i dont have Manuka)

• Foundation/Concealer Brush

• Containers

Procedure:

Mix the ingredients. It depends on how do you want your consistency. If you want more lemon or honey its up to you. Its better to make it stickier. (Just my preference)

I already squeezed lemon and placed in lock and lock containers.

Mix them very well

Make sure your face is clean. No make up. 

TIP: use paper towels in wiping your face. Regular Towels might contain bacteria.

Use the brush when applying the mask.

(yeah you can see some pimple marks errr)

FOREHEAD :)

STICKY LOL

MY WHOLE FACE COVERED WITH MASK.

-----THEN WAIT FOR 20 MINS. SOME PEOPLE WAIT FOR AN HOUR OR SO -----

THEN RINSE IT THOROUGHLY

REACTIONS:

-For me, it was not that stingy. Maybe because I dont have an active pimple.

-Stick yes! haha but not that heavy. 

-Waiting time is not that bad. 20mins is like watching two episodes of Sponge Bob 

I just don't know how long should i do this before it works. I plan to do it regularly.
Let's see.

===PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE===

Wants to get rid of my ACNE MARKS!!!

I've been researching this couple of months now on how can I have clear skin. Just like you guys, I've tried a lot of products. From Pro-active, Neutrogena, Equate etc..

My skin is not perfect :( sadly lol.. Most women do have acne/pimple during before/after their period. My skin has been Oily/Combination especially during hot or summer season. Right now, it is still winter time here in Virginia and my skin gets really really dry especially after washing it.


TRIVIA: (courtesy of https://www.aad.org/)

• Acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States, affecting 40 million to 50 million Americans.
• Nearly 85 percent of all people have acne at some point in their lives, most often on the face, chest, and back.
• By mid-teens, more than 40 percent of adolescents have acne or acne scarring, which requires treatment by a dermatologist.

MY CURRENT SKIN PROBLEMS:

1. Getting Acne Before/After Period
2. Acne Marks (ughhh)
3. Uneven skin tone. ---- this is the hardest. I think my side cheeks are darker than my whole face.
4. Dry Skin. (cold season)
5. Oily during warm hot season
6. Scar dents/bumps
7. Redness in some parts (minimal problem)

CONS: I dont have wrinkles yet haha ( i think)
One thing I have learned from this is that:

"NEVER POP A PIMPLE"

Everyone wants to have a clear skin eh? haha :)
Sorry i am just really obsess in this.

MY SKIN TODAY FEB 28, 2015
