Get Ready With Me!


What's Good!!!

I'm on a roll with these posts, yeah?? :D 

A lot of you have been asking me to do more of these "Get ready with me" videos and I never mind doing them cuz its easy to film, and editing isn't so bad. The only thing I hate about it, is finding MUSIC for my videos!! And I can't do a voiceover because I don't know how on my editing software AND I don't have a mic lol FAIL!

If any of you know where I can get music to use for my videos that youtube will allow and not take down - PLEASEEEE let me know!! Any good royalty free music! Thank you in advance :)

My Fitness Journey!

Hi Guys!

I know it's been a long time since I've blogged. I feel like people just dont like to read as much anymore these days lol. But for those who are still on the blogging scenes, I want to give yall props!!

And to anyone who still reads and keeps up with my blogs - thank you!!! It's so hard to have the downtime to sit and type out a blogpost.

As many of you know, I've been getting into fitness especially this year where I've been much more consistent than the previous year where I was just trying to get myself wrapped around it. Because it's really a lifestyle change, it was definitely hard to stay consistent but I've realized that since I was so on and off for the year I first started getting into fitness, I realized that I would've made much much more gains and progress. 

So by beating up myself for that, I just put myself into focus and tried to stay as consistent as possible. I know it's tough when life gets in the way but fitness is part of life and I can't be making any excuses. 

That's my story behind it! So yes, I am disappointed in myself but I can't keep looking back and telling myself I could be much more better and I would've made much more progress.. instead I have to remind myself that baby steps forward are still steps being taken foward and at least I'm still one small step ahead of where I was yesterday. :)

Anyways, for those who don't know, here are some fitness related videos that can help you watch my journey and maybe it can help one or two of you :)

I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without the help of my boyfriend, Hanh! (http://youtube.com/hanhchampion

This was completely at random - I used a random number generator website. 

*For those that didn't win - thank you so much for entering.


NOTE: I had to disqualified a few people because:

1. Not all of you followed the rules.
2. Are not even subscribed to me... come on. Don't be rude and cheap.... My giveaways are meant for LOYAL subscribers... if you are in it for free stuff... not cool man. lol

FUTURE REFERENCE:
PLEASE keep your FEED PUBLIC so I can see you have followed all the rules and that I know you are subscribed, like & favourite the video as the rules applied. Failed to do so, I cannot choose you as a winner. It's pretty common sense - how else would it be fair and how would I know you followed the rules? 

With that being said, this is not the last giveaway and I hope you all will be more honest. Also, I remember usernames so I know who are my loyal subscribers when I always see their comments hence I know who were just in it to win and did not even follow the rules.

I apologize if this seems mean but I want it to be FAIR and HONEST.

Thank you for your understanding and for everyone who was being honest and followed the rules.


Hope you all had a great christmas & I have a new video coming soon on my FAVOURITE PRODUCTS OF 2012!!!!

TUTORIAL: How I Fill In My Eyebrows!

Hey guys! Hope you had a great labor day long weekend!

This video was highly requested - thank you! Here I will show you guys what I personally do to fill in my eyebrows!

As for grooming, I don't do too much - I like to keep the natural shape of my brows. I just tweeze and use an eyebrow razor to shave off any stray hairs.




Product List:

Make Up Forever Aqua Brow: 15
ELF Eyebrow Kit: Dark
Benefit Boiing Concealer: 02

Brushes:
Sigma Small Angled Brush: E65
Angled Brush (Unknown Brand - My sister got it at a special effects store, sorry!)
Lancome Dual End Concealer Brush (I think it may be discontinued now)



BIGGEST TIP:
Never OVERPLUCK!!!!!!!!!

I know everyone says this but SERIOUSLY follow it! Eyebrows make or break your face and your brows better be on point bitches! haha

If you suck - go to a professional! Eyebrow threading is my favourite, and it's super cheap!!! :)

I've learned that after tampering around with my brows too often, I lost a lot of hairs and my arch - which is why I have to fill them in now! I used to have way thicker brows so I wish I listened to the millionth person that told me not to mess around too much with it! 

I also think from using very waxy eyebrow pencils - it kinda made me lose some hairs as well... weird?

Anyways, hope this was informative, helpful, and you were able to pick up any tips or tricks!

Thanks so much as always for watching, reading, subscribing :)

xoxo
