Hang Do Something

I stayed up all night and I finally finished a new project I'm working on. Can you guess? If I had to guess, I wouldn't have guess it right because I have no fashion sense really. More than ever, I want to dress in "pretty" clothes, clothes that are different than what I'm used to, clothes shows my personality, I just want to step outside of my usual self and challenge who I think I am. Small Pockets is a small shop I created that offer tops and accessories (in the future) at affordable prices from pieces that I personally choose. I'll be my own stylist, I'm not sure how it'll do, but why not right? Changing and "growing up" and developing a better sense of who you are is good, stagnant is not good. Behind the scenes of my "creativity" for this shoot... Pins and tape are extremely useful. Nước Mắm for the Soul  is another project I've been working on for my Vietnamese community, but it's not anything yet,...

We all want beautiful skin, you do, I do. I have oily skin, a lot of blackheads, and many open pores- and in the video, I have no foundation/power/or concealer on- only bronzer, highlighter, eyeliner, and lip pencil. The 3 products mentioned in this video are witch hazel (used as a toner), apple cider vinegar, and Olay's Olay Regenerist MicroDermabrasion and Peel Kit. These are simply my reviews/ personal experiences that have helped my skin, but they may not work in the same way for you. I work grave yard shift (6pm-6am) and so my skin doesn't have as much time to recuperate and the schedule is harder on my skin than ever before (that's why I try to take care of my skin more than ever before). If your skin is too sensitive, ( apple cider vinegar may "burn" or sting a bit and the micro demobrasion set may be too harsh for some) or you simply want to try these products, please take your time and start off a little a time. DO NOT use everything at once =) Th...

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

I'm so excited about these 2 products I've purchased from Ulta's Friends and Family Sale (20% off purchase). Have you tried   RoC Retinol Correxion Deep WrinkleNight Cream  and Eco Tool's Retractable Foundation brush?   I bought RoC Retinol Correxion Deep WrinkleNight Cream because of these 2 articles from the New York Times & Oprah's....on the "amazingness" retinoid can do for our skin, if you can stand it. (Don't use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding though).    Correction Appended THE beauty aisles of a typical drugstore are a veritable fortress stacked with lotions and potions that promise to turn back the clock, rejuvenate the skin and restore a youthful glow. Their labels list an arsenal of ingredients —alpha hydroxy acids, antioxidant  vitamins , green tea, copper, caffeine, soy, peptides, among many others. Yet within the walls of products and tiers of claims, one ingredient still stands out: Retin-A. It is a...

From now on, I will focus on making rice (you can read Seth Godin' s blog post  below to see what I mean). Instead of focusing on what's important, I do everything else, except what's important. First, make rice Fledgling sushi chefs spend months (sometimes years) doing nothing but making the rice for the head chef. If the rice isn't right, it really doesn't matter what else you do, you're not going to be able to serve great sushi. Most of the blogging and writing that goes on about marketing assumes that you already know how to make the rice. It assumes you understand copywriting and graphic design, that you've got experience in measuring direct response rates, that you've made hundreds of sales calls, have an innate empathy for what your customers want and think and that you know how to make a compelling case for what you believe. Too often, we quickly jump ahead to the new thing, failing to get good enough at the imp...
