I don't usually do subscription boxes as they tend to be the worse bang for your buck. Back in 2011, I did Birchbox for 3 months. It was mostly skincare samples, makeup brushes, and perfume samples. In late 2013, I did IPSY for 6 months. IPSY was mostly makeup. I remember getting makeup brushes, eyeliners,… Continue reading Review: IPSY Glam & Glam Plus Bag (December 2021)

Renewed Interest in K-Beauty Products
Over 10 years ago, I was obsessed with skincare and beauty products, especially from Asia. Many of the products I have was purchased through eBay and online shops like Sasa.com. Sasa is based out of Hong Kong and no longer deliver to the US, sadly. I amassed a pretty big collection that when I got… Continue reading Renewed Interest in K-Beauty Products
Black Friday Shopping 2021
I did a lot of shopping this year for Black Friday. Most of my purchases were for myself and some were Christmas gifts. Prior to Black Friday, my husband and I had a list of what we want to get.

Book Review: Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
I have been really enjoying this book. I'm up-to-date with the latest translation and MTL like 100 chapters but I found the MTL too hard to read/understand. The translator releases a chapter a day so about 4.5 months to go, lol. But I'm going to wait because it's pretty good. MC is Lin Qing He.… Continue reading Book Review: Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
