It's been x days of running


This was me roughly 3 weeks ago when I first embarked on my journey to run everyday for 100 days. Before this project, it was difficult for me to complete a 1 mile run or jog, without huffing and puffing, but after 3 weeks, I can make it to 1 mile without wanting to give up. I used to be quite jealous of people who sweat a lot at the gym because I did not have the perseverance to run to the point where I would sweat, I just gave up too easily.



People say if you fully commit yourself to something for 100 days, you'll blown yourself away, you might even be really good at it. To be honest, I have not run everyday since I have started, but I have done the best I can within the last 3 weeks. I should be up to 5 miles/run now, but this is the breaking point. I've jogged up to 4 miles (with a walking break after every mile), but my mentality hasn't been there recently. I run at our local community center and I would watch The Big Bang Theory or Modern Family as I run, but there were so many commercials of food that I love: chicken wings, pizza, soda, etc... 

I've been somewhat consistent with running 3-4 days out of the week, considering I work 6/7 days, but I am making good effort to add it into my daily routine to always run. On days where I don't feel motivated, I will still go and do what I can, even if it's 2 miles (including walking).  I used to hate running but now, I feel that after a run, I feel good about myself because I accomplished something for myself, I even started looking into running trails to walk. :)

    Hi Hang,

    Did you achieve your target of running for 100 days?

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

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 ...

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel...

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise...
