Hi! Sorry I haven't been posting as often as I did before but university is making me rather stressful and busy to blog (although my life is quite boring so I didn't have anything to blog about anyways!)
This week has been rather stressful as I've been trying to enrol into university but being technologically challenged person I am - it's become quite confusing and makes me wish I had paid more attention in Computer Science class back in year 10!! (Surprisingly I passed that class even though I failed both exams.)
Anyhoo, I've decided to actually switch majors in the end to Advertising + Creative Advertising Graphic Design because I am more of a creative person and visual learner at the end of the day and I dislike maths with a passion and Marketing involves a lot of calculations. So switching majors during enrolment was sort of stressful and I had to visit the university in person to fill out a form. Then I had to worry about registering my classes and buying textbooks, Student ID, transportation, financial plans, what laptop to get?! etc.
I'm thinking of getting a Toshiba P840/00S Touch Enabled Notebook but it's $899!! So expensive, so my parents are opting it out to get it as BOTH my birthday present and my'congratulations! You got into university' gift. It has really nice specs which my parents really like as it's 14 inches and an i5 Intel Core Processor PLUS it's a Windows 8 Touch Screen Notebook. Most importantly (for me) it has a CD Rom which is perfect for me in University!
Bbbut my parents recently just bought a new car so they're pretty much short on those moolahs $$ right now. So I'm not sure when I'll get a new laptop so I'm crossing my fingers that they'll still have this laptop in stock by March when uni starts and toes crossed that it'll be cheaper than $899!
Yeah, we also got a new car also which is the Nissan Dualis and I'm not really sure what else but my sister finally has a car!! My mum is driving the new car and I really like it! It was on an 'End of year' sale so it went down to $35000 from $40000+ !! I got to choose the colour which is called Mineral Greyand it sort of has a blue-ish tinge to it! It only just arrived today and I sat in the back seat after we got the tinting done so I haven't really had the chance to see the features but I won't be driving it anytime soon ! (I'm still on Learners -_-;;)
Okay, enough about me! Today I would like to introduce something that has been going around TUMBLR. Being a frequent user of tumblr, there has been GIFs going around about these Barbie Dolls stop motion show called 'The Most Popular Girls in School' and it's basically about these Barbie dolls named Mackenzie, Trisha, Brittnay, Deandre, Shay van Buren and Rachel Tice!
They actually kind of swear a lot (except for Trisha) and so if you have sensitive ears, this might not be the show for you! But the show is absolutely hilarious! It makes me literally laugh out loud more than Bob's Burgers does and you know how much I absolutely LOVE Bob's Burgers!! The show has the quirkiest and wittiest lines ever and the plotline is so smooth and everything is just so amazing. Someone please watch it with me so I have someone to talk to about this amazing show!
Here is the first episode if you want to check it out! :)
Thanks for reading this and sorry for the anti-climatic comeback!
I just got accepted into my first preference university! Which is Curtin University I am so happy and I still can't believe I got in, which is why I need to post this on my blog so that I have proof that I actually got in!
I haven't got the actual acceptance package yet because it doesn't arrive until next week so I can't accept the offer as of now but I'm really excited for it.
PLUS Sims 3 University comes out in March!!!! So while I'll be at university, I will be able to play my virtual family/young adults at university too which will be so awesome and I am just so stoked right now. Now I just need to get a part-time job to help with my funds!
I remember writing my About Me page last year and writing that I wanted to study a double major at Curtin and that hasn't changed at all and I'm so close to achieving this goal of mine! I had thoughts about whether to change my major to Mass Communications as it seemed more fun but I think I'll stay with a double major as Curtin is known for it's Business schools and a double major gives me more job opportunities!
I am so excited yet nervous about entering university.
How was/is university life for you at the moment? Please share some insight into university for me!
If you're like me and you haven't gone to university yet, please leave comments down below which major or job you want to do! :)
Hello my lovely readers, people who happen to browse through and creepy stalkers!
Today I would like to share with you one of my style inspirations/ style idols whom I have recently become obsessed with! Her name is Juria Nakagawa and she's the same age as me ~ 17 years old! I discovered her while browsing through Tokyo Fashion to look at beautiful Harajuku fashion which lead me to hertumblr blog where most of these photos I stole from!
I really like this look! It's so casual yet it has a bit of an edge to it.
Other than the fact that we're both the same age, Asian, average height, love tattoo tights and a lover of Harajuku style - she's pretty much got an insane sense of fashion. She's become quite popular lately and her photos have been posted around tumblra lot.
She currently works at a shop named AvantGarde in Harajuku (is that not the classiest name ever?!) and a model/DJ as well!
She's best known for her cute but punk style! As you can see from the photos below, she usually has these pastel coloured long hair and she matches it with darker clothes which are more grunge. (Sorry, I'm terrible at explaining/describing things) So this makes her have this unique look of having cute/punk/creepy style which I absolutely adore!
I love both styles! I think I'm more of a WHITE (right) style as of now.
As I'm turning 18 in less than a month (eek!) I sort of want to venture off into a new style which would suit my age more. I haven't really developed a style per se but if I were to pick a style ~ it would definitely be Juria Nakagawa's because it's not completely punk/goth but it's not completely cute/sweet like I see in Harajuku usually. It's like a mixture of both!
Love this outfit. She dropped her signature tattoo tights but she still looks fab.
She is also known for her makeup as well which I think is so pretty yet Gothic at the same time! It's usually purple with or without sparkles paired with dark circle lenses. I really like it but I don't think I can pull it off without looking like I've just bruised my eye or something.
One of her more 'sweeter' looks yet still totally keeping the gothic look with her makeup and armlet/choker.
Loving both of their outfits. Do you get what I mean by her style?!
One of the other things I love about Juria's style is her AMAZING hair!! It's always a shade of pastel which are one of my favourite things in the world. Anything that's pastel pink, purple or blue ~ I immediately fall in love with.
I actually attempted to do this to my own hair; this mermaid/pony/pastel hair but unfortunately, I didn't use a strong enough bleach and I didn't buy the correct toner (I think?) and so now it's an orange, brassy colour which I absolutely hate and my hair is still quite dry and damaged after being soaked in conditioner!
HOWEVER! I still want Juria's hair no matter what but I don't know if I will get a job if I have purple hair ... Ugh, life.
Hello! Today I will be doing a review on Maybelline products I have purchased! I forgot my Maybelline Baby Lips however but I'm sure you can read lots of reviews on that product because it's awesome!
I will be reviewing 4 products today and they are the
Maybelline FitMe Concealer in Medium
Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour Concealer in Fair/Light
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Light
Maybelline Eyestudio Ever Lasting Gel Eyeliner in Black
I bought these all with my own money and they range from around $10~$25 depending on whether I bought them during a sale or just their normal price.
I think they're OK prices for concealers/powders/eyeliners! The Baby Lips was under $5 here and that's similar to the price of LipSmackers so I thought that was pretty affordable since there is a lot of product.
Dream Matte Powder
5/5
As you can see I've hit pan on this product already as I use it so much because it keeps the oil under control. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. There is a lot of product and even though I chose the lighter powder, it suits a whole range of skin tones from extremely fair to medium skin tones. So I love the versatility.
It comes with a puff as well but I rarely use it as it makes my face look cakey.
The powder feels so soft and light like SILK! I feel like touching my face sometimes because it's so smooth and soft as if I didn't just put on BB cream and powder on top of it. I read a lot of reviews before buying it because I wanted the best powder for my year 12 ball and I'm proud to say that this powder did the job! I will definitely repurchase it.
As you can see it - with concealer, BB cream and powder my skin looks so much better! It covers up my horribly large pores and gets rid of the redness and uneven skintone.
2/5
I bought this also after reading many reviews! The ones I read said that it was a really nice product for combination/oily/acne-prone skin as it covers up blemishes well. I went to my local Priceline pharmacy and bought it because it was on sale but I picked up the fairest one and so it was waayyy too light for my skin.
Although it is too light, I still use it on my skin but when I first applied it - I noticed that it dries up quickly and so it's really hard to blend it out. It also doesn't really have a smooth texture when it dries up but the texture of the concealer in the bottle is really thick and nice.
The application is EASY though and grabs a lot of product! The coverage is also really good as well and covers up any dark circles or blemishes really well.
4/5
I hadn't read any reviews on this concealer but because I bought the Super Stay 24 Hr one first and that was in the wrong colour, I originally wanted to get another Super Stay in a colour that would match my skin tone but it wasn't on sale anymore! So I bought the FitMe Concealer in Medium and I have to say that I'm really impressed!
I read a lot of reviews on the FitMe foundation and they said that it was more suited to dry skin so I thought the concealer would be the same but even though I have oily skin ~ it suits my skin really well!
The texture is creamy and smooth but oilier than Super Stay. It glides and blends with your skin really well and there is a larger variety of colours to choose from!
I also love the application/bottle as it is easy to use but I have to keep getting more product because the applicator is so small and doesn't grab as much product as I need.
The bottle is so classy ~ I feel like I'm using a Chanel concealer because of it. Maybe it is just me...
3/5
This gel liner is really good and doesn't smudge, stays for a very long time and lots of product is in the bottle. However, it isn't as precise as my liquid eyeliner! Perhaps it is the brush but I find the brush to be so useless that I have to use my own angled brush to apply the gel liner.
The texture is also really smooth but dries quickly! You also have to grab more product to have a dark and perfect line for your eyeliner. It is also extremely hard to do a perfect wing/cat eye with the brush!
However, the product is really good and there is a lot! The price was also on sale for $15+
Tried to apply it perfectly with the brush provided
Thank you for reading!! Leave questions/comments down below :) I hope this was somewhat helpful!
As you can see, I have revamped my blog! No more am I constrained to the 'box' layout. I am FREE! It was so simple. I had always wanted to get rid of the box layout because I wasn't able to make my photos LARGE I could only make them fit according to how big the box was but I couldn't figure out how but then I took the big risk of changing the Blogger layout and ta-dah. So now I can upload really big photos! Yei!
On a side note, I have mixed feelings about my layout. I definitely loved my colour scheme from the theme before as everything feels less whimsical. I also need to fix the CSS (ugh -_-;;) However, a new year definitely means a new layout ~ so YEI!
I sort of have to admit, that photo on the right hand is severely photoshopped! I can't find the original un-photoshopped version (damnit!) Also, I copied the idea of the 'connect' from fashiononymous! She has beautiful co-ordinates and a brill style PLUS she's from Hong Kong! yay for fellow Hong Kong(-er?)
Anyhoo, hopefully by the next time I post my layout will have been sorted and made all nice again but in the meantime I must go to sleep or perhaps just end up reading Sailor Moon again?
P.S Anyone else as excited as me for Sailor Moon 2013?! Sailor Moon was basically my whole childhood (along with Totoro and Laputa) because pft, I'm one of those people who didn't grow up with Disney Princesses. I was a hipster and I watched Sailor Moon (yay!)
Here are some Sailor Moon fanart spam for you lovelies! (Most stolen from Tumblr- Here!)
This is my favourite Black Moon villain, Koan!!! I really want to cosplay her!
There's something about these two outfits which really draw me to them. They're so simplistic and casual yet I love how the pieces and combinations work together. They're more of a Autumn/Winter outfit because if I wore them right now I would be having a heat stroke. It is literally over 30 degrees celcius here in Australia. It's actually cooler today/tonight but the week before it's been in the high 30's.
I also pieced together an outfit I usually wear and it's not as classy and stylish as the two outfits above but hopefully I'll be able to make progress throughout the year as I work my way through to becoming more stylish! Yay!

I also perfected my makeup today and I am so proud of myself! I actually like my makeup! Usually I am disappointed in myself but today I actually like it! I bought Maybelline's gel eyeliner and it's FitMe concealer in Medium (will post review on it later!) and I love them so much! It makes my cat eye so much more prettier! Usually by the end of the day I look like a panda because my eyeliner and mascara get smudged. Oh dear -_-;;
I shall end this post with a very camwhore-y post with my Arizona green tea (loves!) Do you like my cat eye? It's not perfect but it's a definite improvement!! :)
So, the other day (December 2012) while shopping with my lovely friend, Sarah, I bought the iPod Nano 7th Gen on a whim. It all happened so fast, I didn't even have time to process the fact that I now owned my very first iPod. Yes, that's right. FIRST!
As it is my first iPod, I won't really have anything to compare it to so just bear with me on this one and assume it's a reviewer's first impression on new technology.
The price wasn't that overpriced on terms for an Apple product (I think) I bought it myself for $150 AUD. It was originally $160 but my friend had a discount card which she let me use. The current iPod Nano I am reviewing is in red/pink and is 16GB which is a lot!
Note: Image Heavy!
Packaging
I thought the packaging was really cute as it came in a small plastic case and you flipped it to open it up. It came with the earphones and charger and which were neatly tucked inside. There was also an information sheet and the usual Apple stickers and also extra information about the product. I thought it was simple and easy to use. However, I did have some trouble getting the actual nano out of the plastic which protected it but that must have been me being stupid.
Nano and iPod nano package
Design
L to R (clockwise): Side, Top, Button, Bottom of iPod Nano
Back of the Nano
Overall, the packaging is so sleek and modernistic. It really screams APPLEFuturistic21st Century! I bought the one in product red (however, it looks more of a rosy pink to me).
I actually really love this design compared to the previous ones. The 6th generation didn't really appeal to me that much as it was way too small for my liking and didn't look like a music player to me at all. When I first saw this, I fell in love with it. I don't even really mind the white space on the back (for Bluetooth) because I mostly see the screen anyway.
Everything is so miniature like the charger and the start button that I really find it suitable for me to bring along anywhere where I need my daily dose of music.
Dislikes
The only thing that I will mention that I dislike is that it is so inconvenient for me to press pause/play or turn the volume up when its down the side of the nano. They actually blend in with the nano and so when I want to pause/play or change the volume - I have to take the nano out because it takes me way too long to shuffle it around my bag/pocket to find which side is the pause/play.
Another thing is the way I have to take out the entire nano to change the song! I actually do set it as a playlist but I'm one of those people that like changing songs but I just wish there was an easier way to change the song without taking out the entire nano or something. Other than that I'm pretty much content with it.
Music Quality
L to R: The NEW iPod Nano earphones and the Lightning Charger
Listening to Regina Spektor!
I kind of really love the new earphones. They fit perfectly in my ear and direct the music straight into my ears. The negative part of the new earphones is that the earphones MUST only be in the right or left ear - it can't be any other way. So the left earbud must only be in the left ear or otherwise it will be rather uncomfortable! So if I wanted my friend to listen as well, it will be quite difficult. Other than that ~ it's a gem! The quality is so good and makes the music I listen to so much better!
The music app is also quite easy to use and is seperated into so many different sections like podcasts, song, album, artist, genre, Audiobooks etc. You can also shake it to shuffle all the songs which is quite convenient. I also recently discovered that a woman will tell you what song you're listening to when you press near the volume button but I have yet to confirm what button I pressed but it was quite weird!
I didn't make a NY Resolutions this year - how sad :(
So I decided to make some resolutions and (hopefully) complete them by the end of 2013.
Travel - It doesn't even matter where as long as it is outside Perth. However, I hope it is somewhere besides Australia because I want to see other countries and learn different languages and cultures.
Become a more consistent blogger - I have done a better job at blogging this year than last year and made more quality posts but there's always room for improvement. Hopefully I can blog more this year.
Improve YouTube channel - YouTube does not necessarily mean success but it means I can make more friends online and possibly learn the ways of a filmmaker (maybe) such as filming and editing videos like a pro. Hopefully I can get at least 1,000 subscribers by the end of this year.
Get a part-time job (no fast food) - Get a good paying part time job which can support your rich lifestyle of buying Lush products every week. No fast food jobs like McDonalds or Hungry Jacks because they don't count. Improve resumes as well.
Become more STYLISH - I have been so slack and haven't been buying any clothes at all. I have barely any clothes I can wear for winter except for my pyjamas. So I want to become more stylish and have my own style of clothing that defines who I am.
Perfect my skin and makeup (Be more pretty) - Take better care of my skin and learn how to apply makeup so instead of making me look like a drag queen, it'll actually make me look better. Learn how to do a PERFECT winged eyeliner.
Have penpals and send gifts to them! Have friends/penpals from across the globe and send letters and presents to them.
Become a better student and stop procrastinating - I should have studied more this year but oh well, I'm happy with my result even though I didn't even study that much this year. NO! I MUST motivate myself to become a better student and at least get B's. NO MORE C's - aim for at least B's and 70% +
Start cosplaying properly - Make more friends at conventions and hopefully find friends who are interested in cosplaying/anime/manga so that you won't be a loner at conventions as you don't have any friends who are interested in that anymore.
Get drivers license - I still haven't received my license yet.
Read more books and become more intellectual - I have actually read a lot of books this year but I'm going to keep track with goodreads.com and manage to finish at least 20 books this year. As opposed to 10 (which I didn't complete).
Have more hobbies - So that I become a more interesting person and more all-rounder person. I have so much to say about sims 3, k-pop, dramas, anime, manga and what not but that's about it. I should have more interests and topics to discuss about so I can make more friends.
My 2013 wishlist:
My very kitty-esque wishlist for 2013
Sony Vaio Series E Laptop (in Pink), Naked 2 Pallette, Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, Olympus Pen E-PL2 Camera, Kitten Stud Earrings, Black Kitty Dress, ASOS Cat Eye Sun Glasses, Blossom & Bird Ring.
Haha, well I honestly hope I can achieve all of these resolutions by the end of next year. Even if I don't, it will be good to have something to motivate you during the year and look back on it next year!
Hope everyone will have a happy new year!!
What are some of your resolutions for this year? Please share!
The BB cream has triple functions of whitening, anti-wrinkle and more intensively protects exposed skin by blocking UV ray A and B by keeping skin beautiful and healthy through offering brilliance of a diamond and vitality of just blossomed floral.
This a review on Skin79's Diamon BB Cream which I got along with my Skin79 Super + Beblesh Balm in Pink! I hope you will find this helpful along with the many other reviews on this product.
I have a combination of oily/normal skin. I especially get really oily in my T-zone and I primarily have teenage skin so keep that in mind as these are my own thoughts and opinions on this product :)
Shiny compact packaging FTW *0*
Pump for more ACTIOn
The actual product
Spreading it out on my skin
Blending out
Blended! Can you tell the difference?
Packaging
3.5/5
The packaging comes in a hot pink cardboard box which I thought was quite nice as opposed to the rather larger packages BB creams come in.
The actual product comes in a pump protected by a hard oxblood coloured, gradient plastic box. The actual product is protected by a metallic tube thing. I really don't know how to explain this but it's 15g . I like how it comes in a pump as it is more hygienic that way but will be rather hard to pump out the excess product once its nearly empty!
Coverage
2/5
The coverage isn't really good compared to my Missha BB Cream or my Skin79 Pink one. It's really light and doesn't even cover up my pores, freckles or my blemishes properly. Usually with my other BB creams you can't see them at all ;_; Guess I'll need to clear up my skin more if I'm going to use this.
Oil Control
3/5
Not the best but not the worst either! I thought it would be much oilier than that but it's been 3 hours since I applied it and I haven't got an over-oily nose or T-zone...yet! However, I find that it works well with powder and it instantly covers up the oil anyways so that is okay!
Texture
4/5
The texture is really smooth and creamy but light at the same time. It spreads on my skin so smoothly and I really love it a lot as it doesn't feel like anything is on my face at all. It also blends in with my skin really well and I don't have that grey undertone at all that BB creams usually have.
Overall
3/5
I wouldn't say it's the best but it's definitely not the worst either. It doesn't have enough coverage that's for sure but I love how lightweight it feels on my skin. This is good for me because I find that my Missha BB cream is so heavy and makes me feel like a cake face but this is so lightweight that I can't even feel it and it blends in well with my skin as well! It's almost as if I'm not wearing anything.
However I can't find a specific day I would want to wear this since during Summer it will be too oily and I can't wear it for formals as it doesn't have enough coverage. I would choose my Skin79 for days I need more coverage. So I can't see myself using this product that often.
Would I recommend buying it?
If you have drier skin, yes. If you want something that's lightweight, yes. If you're a BB cream junkie, hell yeah.
I haven't been filming YouTube videos or blogging that much as I have been playing Sims 3 and Team Fortress 2 now that exams are all over!
If you have a steam account please add me HERE I'm cyndork. I mainly play Team Fortress 2 as Engineer or Pyro ~~ Woo! Although, I'm still a n00b T__T I still need to play more but I'm getting better (I think?). I usually just attack them head on and so I get killed really quickly har-har...
The other game which I've been playing is Sims 3! I've always been a fan of Sims 3 but recently I got Sims 3 Seasons which is the latest expansion pack!
I've been sticking with this one family ever since I installed Seasons! I started off with Blake Windswell and Jordan Windswell. Blake married Gobias Koffi and they both passed away recently :( Jordan married Kaylynn Langerak and they have three beautiful kids!
Aliens in Sims 3 are really freaky. I don't know why they keep popping up and abducting the women o_O

Look at how adorable that snowman is!

I swear I took more snapshots but this is all! I really love playing Sims 3 *A* but there are so many glitches D:
So I had the pleasure of seeing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky this afternoon with my friend, Anaya. I know - I know - the film has been out for more than a month over in America; but it only premiered here in Australia yesterday!
I was sort of disappointed that there weren't as many people in the cinemas as I thought there would be. There were only perhaps 10 people in the room. They all sat in pairs and it was really quiet except for the laugh-able bits in the film.
Anyhoo, the film was great! It definitely represents the novel well and I loved it so much. It covered so many issues and was quite overwhelming towards the end but I loved the use of music/soundtrack to support the scene. As it is a coming-of-age film, I'll compare it to other coming of age films and in that aspect, it does quite well in spreading out topics like drugs, sex, love, friendships, growing up etc.
Logan Lerman really surprised me, as did Ezra Miller. When they were first announced as Charlie and Patrick respectively, I had my doubts but after watching the film - I definitely changed my mind. They WERE Charlie and Patrick. I loved Ezra's version of Patrick, I can definitely picture Patrick like that but maybe a little bit more quirkier. Emma Watson as Sam was also great! I really loved her acting, I couldn't see the Hermione in her at all. I pictured Sam and it was nice. Nina Dobrev also did awesome, after watching the Vampire Diaries the day before and watching POBAW, I have to say that Nina did a great job! Of course, TVD fans already knew that as she plays two different characters Katherine and Elena (spoiler alert?) realistically.
However, I wish some parts of the novel were included. Of course I am aware that a film is a film and a novel is a novel so a whole novel cannot be meshed into one film. Such parts include showing Bill (Mr. Anderson) and Charlie's relationship more, the poem felt like an importance but I'm sure it didn't need to be included, Candace's abortion, Aunt Helen's background about being molested so that the ending would make more sense to people who haven't read the novel! However, many parts of the novel were included in there which I would have too and which I thought were important. One last thing - I wish Charlie cried more because he cried so much in the novel and that they would've shown that Charlie was smart and not only at the beginning of the film.
The quote 'We accept the love we think we deserve' played a huge part in the film.
As it is drawing closer to the beginning of the very dreaded #wace exams, I have compiled a rather long list of books I must read before the end of the year. I will briefly summarise why I would read such a magnificent novel and why in such the novel intrigues me so (I'll do this later). I absolutely cannot wait until my exams are done. completed! FINISHED! so that I can devour my time with these books and enter into the realm of AMAZING GOODNESS or EVILNESS - either way, I will gladly accept.

I think I am starting to become quite obsessed with LUSH products ever since it opened up a new store in Karrinyup. As I actually have exams coming up, I haven't actually had to chance to go shopping until today. However, I only took a quick peek as it was closing and I needed to go back home to continue with the dreadful studying, ugh. Anyhoo, I have put together a (long) list of products which I think would make me rather splendid and lush. (pun intended)
Shower Products
Soothing shower soap to calm red, dry skin. Dreamwash is a perfect smoothie for troubled skin. It’s incredibly mild and actively soothing - wonderful for skin with a habit of going flaky and red when you touch it with anything other than plain water. We mix chamomile with calamine, calming aloe vera, soothing rose, tea tree and lavender essential oils. It’s the dreamiest wash available for sensitive skin.
Dreamwash (Smoothies)
What caught my attention was 'red, dry skin' as I tend to usually have really dry skin while my face is like the oiliest ever. It's as if all the oil from my body goes to my face. I also have really sensitive skin from my neck down. It's actually quite weird but I really want this because it's pink as well! XD
Our Sugar Scrub is hard, but a bit of a sweetie. Its no nonsense stance stimulates activity and tackles cellulite with fennel and ginger. Skin calming lavender has a balancing effect. Get yourself wet in the shower or bath, but don’t let the bar get under the running water or it’ll be lost before it can prove itself. Scrub, scrub, scrub and rinse away. It doesn’t waste any time getting down to business.
Sugar Scrub (Scrubs)
Why I really want this: tacklescellulite. Oh my goodness, I have mass amounts of cellulite still lingering around due to my growth spurts during year 9/10. I know its my growth spurts because I have cellulite near my leg area and it is horrible, I dread wearing shorts during summer because it is so visible! That is why I need this!
