Scrub for Dry Skin

YouTube Preview Image

I am all about home made stuff.  I have the most sensitive skin therefore i have to be very careful what i put on my face.  During the winter i have the most cracked, dry skin everrrrr.  As i was browsing through youtube.com.   Came by one of my favorite person on youtube.  Michelle Phan.  She was talking about dry skin and how you could make an easy homemade face scrub.  So i thought it wouldn’t hurt to try and is super easy and inexpensive.

I made it last night and it was great.  No breakout and no dry skin. Super duper easy to make.  Love it !!!

Rose Petal Cottage

51DdyADDccL._SS400_

This is truly one of my favorite toy i have gotten for Sophia.  A playhouse that Sophia actually fit inside.  The Rose Petal Cottage is by Playskool.  I found this at T.J Maxx on sale. It is super duper cute.  I actually manage to even fit myself in there because Sophia insisted i play inside with her.  Plus i wanted to know how it feels to be inside this playhouse.  I wish i had one of these when i was little. I must admit.  It took me about an hour to put everything together.  But it was well worth it.  They even have a inflatable chair.  I wish i have a bigger house to buy their other parts.  It is too cute.  I might have to transform Sophia’s room into a make believe playhouse.  Ha! Ha!

Thanks T.J Maxx for the gift card and Wendy for bringing me to the T.J Maxx Spring/Summer 2010 preview event.  Had a wonderful time there.  They have great stuff there, will definitely keep my eyes on their Spring collection.

Now a days.  Most sodas are using artificial flavors or corn syrup.  We forgot how soda taste like using the real stuff.  But for limited time, Pepsi are using REAL SUGAR.  It really does taste different.  Try to look for the can near you and try it.

Kiss Custom Nail Kit

IMG_0866

For some really weird reason.  I been itching to get my nails done.  So as i was shopping at walmart for home goods.  Came across the custom fit nail kit by Kiss.  Since i’m bored at home.  It wouldn’t hurt to play around with it.  If i don’t like it.  I could always take it out.  And is less harmful for my nails since i don’t have to file my nails down.

I have the worst sweet tooth.  Another one of my new year resolution. Ha! Ha! Ha!  To cut down on sweet.  I know my friend would tell me……shut up Anna.  Because i make this resolution every year.

I tried out this place called Bakery De Paris couple days ago.  The pastry there is pretty good.   I searched it on Yelp.com.  Is rated four stars out of five.  I’ll give it three star which is still pretty good.  If you ever stop by flushing.  Sit down and have a little dessert.

You have no idea how excited i was when i spotted french macaroons in Starbucks.  Didn’t think twice and told Sophia to grab a box for me.  I usually have to travel everywhere to find these.  Now that they start selling them in Starbucks.  I no longer have to have them shipped to my house anymore.  Yeah!!!

Sophia wasn’t too fancy about them.  She tried the chocolate which she didn’t finish and gave the rest to me.  I gladly shared it with the rest of my family because i know i could get more now.  Ha! Ha!

One box comes with 12 French Macaroons.   Two of each flavor.  Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Coffee, Lemon and Pistachio.  $9.95.

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Magic Mouse !!!  Ha! Ha!  Everybody knows i’m a big Apple fan.  Their products are user friendly.  I’m not the smartest person in the world, especially with computer.  So if i know how to use it.  Anybody can.

Been waiting for this Magic Mouse for awhile.  The same Multi-Touch technology first introduced on the revolutionary iPhone comes to the mouse. It’s called Magic Mouse, and it’s the world’s first Multi-Touch mouse. Click anywhere, scroll in any direction, and swipe through images on its smooth, seamless top shell. It works wirelessly using Bluetooth, so you don’t have to worry about cables or adapters cluttering your workspace. And built-in software lets you configure Magic Mouse any way you want.
