//but you know, the thing about romance is...people only get together right at the very end.//

I had a pretty awesome week :] It was full of doggywalks, failed baking attempts, family lunches, soy milk in black coffee, shopping, and amazing movies <3
Pretty AWESOME way to spend your last week of summer break right? :]

What can I say? I don't believe in leashes :]

There goes my dream of being a world class baker :]

                                                   I thought it looked really ugly like this so I flipped it over.

                         Ta DA! :]

hahaha....it was really disgusting. but my aunt...being the SUPER awesome person that she is....ate so much she skipped two meals. 

lunch with the fam #1 

I've actually been to this place a couple times. Their meat dishes are pretty good but their salad was really GROSS >: 

I told my aunt that she looked like Billy Bob Thornton and she said, "that's okay, as long as she's pretty" 

My aunt  =  probably still high on my 100% Hershey's chocolate peanut butter cake.

:]

lunch with the fam #2

today was my first time eating at this place. and can I just say....AMAZING :] they have like the best vegan stuff ever. 

I like my coffee BLACK. that's right :] 

anyhoo daddy's gf was like "you should try something different today". and i was like " like what?" and she looked around and said "put soy milk in your black coffee" and I was like "sure". 

it was DISGUSTING. bleh. 

no wonder daddy does all the cooking at home. 

:]

newbies to my closet :]

Forever21 + EuroComo tees <3

and last but most definitely not least...

the movies I watched this week :]

I've seen Little Miss Sunshine a gazillion times. Some movies are too good to just to watch once :]

I first heard of this movie on Parenthood. (Haddie has a Love Actually poster in her room) It was amazing :] 

It had a BUNCH of actors and actresses I ADORE <3 

I saw Love Actually with my mom and she fell in love with Colin Firth and demanded I play her a movie with him in it. And the only Colin Firth movie I could think of on the spot was What a Girl Wants haha :]

I hope all of you had an awesome week! + God bless all those on the East Coast right now. My heart goes out to all of you guys <3

@Nature Tea Tree Sebum Purifying Pack Set

So I've had these two for quite a while now :] I use them every few weeks and the results are pretty good. I like them :]

                         

Directions:1. After cleansing, apply Tea Tree Deep Sebum Softener using cotton or fingertips on T-zone for about 1 minute. (Suggestion: Use a hot towel or steam to open the pores for better results)

2. Apply the Tea Tree Sebum Purifying Mask on T-zone, relax and wait for 10-15 minutes or until the mask is totally dry. Peel off and wash off the residue using water or cotton.

3. For best results, use a toner with an astringent effect on T-zone after the two steps.

The toner I use after the mask :]

Me and my nose mask :]

Kirkland Daily Facial Cleansing Towelettes

I got these a couple of weeks ago at Costco :]

[ Product details: 

• Use to thoroughly remove makeup and dirt – no rinsing necessary
• Quilted for deep cleansing – with Chamomile, Triple Tea Complex and Vitamin E
• Alcohol & Oil-Free
• Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist tested

Where to buy it: Costco or http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Pre-Moistened-Cleansing-Towelettes/dp/B002GJE7UM]

I'm enjoying them, I think when I run out I'm going to buy another box :] 

It does a really nice job of removing all of my makeup. 

To prove that it gets all my makeup off, this is one that I used after the one on top. 

It's completely clean! :] 

Before this, I used Biore's cleansing cloths and they were horrible >:

I had to use like 3 to 4 cloths EACH time to remove my makeup + it did a horrible job of removing eyeliner 

What are YOUR favorite makeup removers? :]

Taipei City = best food + best shopping centers!! <3 <3

This place had some awesome vegan dishes :] Shanghai food is the best! <3

As we were heading out after lunch we got rained in >: so we decided shop in the stores around us and I got these gladiator sandals for only $11! <3

Then (being the good daughter that I am :]) I sat on a sofa for over AN HOUR while my madre tried on a billion things :]

Breeze Center is the best! :]

Coffee break :]

Tea Tree Triple Threat, g i o v a n n i.

So today I decided that I'm not going to eat or use anything with animal products for a little while :]
It's actually easier than I thought it would be :]
I have no idea what happened though...yesterday I would have wolfed down a chicken steak, but now just the thought of me holding a piece of chicken in my hands makes me feel sick.

If you are interested in being a vegetarian, be sure to check out PETA's vegetarian starter kit, it's amazing :]

Anyhooo I threw away a bunch of my cosmetics away today because I found out that those companies experiment on animals ex: pour perfume down their throats/into their eyes....like who the hell does that? >:
But as I was showering I saw that my shampoo bottle said: no animals were harmed in the making of this shampoo <3 <3
Giovanni rocks my socks :]
