If you’re looking for good books to read, here’s list of 5 good ones you might want to try :3 Handpicked by me, of course. Who else, pft. I’m going to try to list 5 every week. Now I know weekly blogging gimmicks aren’t my thing, but I’m going to try anyway.

I really suck at book reviews by the way.

5. Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

My rating: 4/5
Recommends it for: People who are in love with cooking and romance!
Comments: This book will remind you of Asian TV dramas, but it’s like the awesome version of those TV dramas.

4. Damned by Chuck Palahniuk

My rating: 3.5/5
Recommends it for: Anyone with wild minds :3
Comments: Um… this is a Palahniuk book. Expect it to be crazy. In a way, it makes hell look really funny. By the way, don’t let this book get to you too much especially when it comes to your faith ;D Don’t be too shaky now.

3. The Gaze by Elif Safak

My rating: 4/5
Recommends it for: Readers who love parallelism in literature. Readers who love unusually beautiful stories < 3
Comments: Seriously, I'm going to buy my own copy of this. I just borrowed from the library when I read this. This novel is so beautifully written that it made me sigh after I finished reading it.

2. The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

My rating: 4.5/5
Recommends it for: EVERYONE… who loves words and LOVE.
Comments: BEAUTIFUL. This novel is BEAUTIFUL. It’s like The Gaze. I love this the same way I love The Gaze, but maybe I love it tiny bit more because of how beautiful this book is. You won’t regret reading this. It may be about love, but it’s not just about romance.

1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 4.8/5 (really close to 5… but not 5!)
Recommends it for: EVERYONE. Really everyone this time!
Comments: The movie is coming out soon! You have to read this! ;D It’s really… unputdownable although it has its obvious flaws.

***

Let me know if you decide to read any of these books. I’d love to talk about these books with other people. Hooray!

Good for Sensitive Skin! 

This tutorial was inspired by Michelle Phan’s DIY hydrating cotton mask video. I looked up the product that she used and found that it might not work out for people with sensitive skin…but I’m not really sure. I have sensitive skin so I tried to kind of make my own kind of mask to avoid any problems :3

What I used:

 

1. Laneige Water Bank essence
2. Mask. Just a plain one! I got it from an Asian store.

First, take out 1 mask sheet! Here’s the pack I got:

Yes, we are going to impregnate your mask. No, I really think that’s the proper word for it. We are not going to soak the mask with essence. We are going to impregnate it.

Next, pump out essence into the cap of the Laneige bottle (I didn’t put in too much though, maybe like 5-6 pumps?) and mix it with a bit of water. Then, impregnate the mask (folded) with the essence+water. Do not proceed to the next step unless your mask is already pregnant.

Next, unfold the mask and put in on your face.

Keep the mask on for 10-15 minutes and then take it off :3

NO I DON’T LOOK FUNNY OK? 

Then you can go on with the next steps of your skincare routine ^_^. It’s so simple It worked for me. My face feels so soft right now, yay! I hope it works out great for everyone else who wants to try it, too :3

Enjoy the rest of the week :B
