Recent News + Oil Blotting Sheets and Pore Strips

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend :) To sum my weekend up, I came back home after spending a week babysitting at my cousin's place, I had dim sum yesterday with my parents, and ran a few errands after that. Last night, I decided to clean my room. I didn't finish, of course :P When I came back on Saturday, there was just a bunch of random things sitting on my desk and I'm working on getting rid of them. I'm away for college, but that doesn't stop my mom from coming into my room and storing things everywhere...

I organized my box of letters and cards from years and years ago. I realized how much I missed writing and reading letters, so I wrote five last night! I know, crazy. But I had fun :)

This morning, Jonathan came over and we hung out at my house for a bit. Then we went to eat lunch at a local diner. I had a Cuban sandwich, which has pulled pork, pickles, and mustard. Jonathan had a massive breakfast plate with all of his favorites :)

He finally gave me my Christmas present, and I will create a separate post for that in a bit!

After lunch, Jonathan had to go to work, so I came back home and found two more packages for me in the mail, hehe!

I got oil blotting tissues and more pore strips! These are different from the other ones I bought because these are made from charcoal! This is like a mini haul kind of post; however, my items are slowly coming in the mail. I bought a ton of stuff on eBay a few weeks ago. I decided to post along the way and then do a summary/ group photo later :)

Tea Tree Oil + Pore Strips

Hey guys! I'm finally back home, after spending a week at my cousin's to help babysit her four month old boy :) It was really nice to spend time with my cousin and her husband because they live a couple of hours away. My week consisted of changing diapers, waking up to 7 AM cries, eating cereal every morning, speaking baby language, and making dinner for everyone! It was a little stressful when I couldn't tell what the baby wanted. The three main things babies want are: food, sleep, and diaper changes. I can safely say that I am now a Master Diaper Changer :P I only need one hand and about 10 seconds, ha!

I got home around 7 PM. Ate dinner, showered, unpacked, the usual. Then I found a few packages that arrived, tehe.

I've been wanting to try tea tree oil for a while because I've heard about its' awesome benefits for acne. This little guy stands only 1 inch tall and costed about $3 on eBay. I opened the cap and sniffed it a bit. It certainly has a strong smell, but I can handle it :) I'll be sure to post about this in a week or so, after I've tested it out!

I also bought pore strips for my nose. I love these things! I always buy them on eBay because they are so much cheaper! These were made in Korea, but there's Japanese characters on the packaging. No clue why. But what you do is wet your nose and apply the strip directly on your nose. Smooth out any air bubbles and wait until the pore strip dries completely. Then, you rip it off! It hurts for a few seconds, but you get to see all the gross things hidden in your nose :) It's best to use when your pores are open (i.e. after a hot shower).

After my shower, I decided to paint my toenails... with my favorite toe color! This copper polish is from Ulta. It goes on very smoothly, dries fairly quickly, and looks great with my skin tone :)

I hope you had a fantastic Saturday :)
