Winter break is so close but so far
The last day of class was last Friday for me. I only have one exam to do and that is on the coming Wednesday. I should be studying at the moment, but you know me ^^;; I was cleaning my room instead of studying as a form of procrastination. Does anyone else do that?
Anyway, on Friday, a couple of my friends and I went to eat pho after class. We ended super early, which was pretty lame because class starts at 8:30am
(I have to wake up at 5:30 to catch the bus!) and we ended at 10, when we usually end at 12:30. It would've been better if we just started later... But anyway, I was told the pho place was pretty close BUT IT WAS THE LONGEST WALK EVER. I don't even think the pho was worth it after all that work. But we eventually made it and ate together.
On the way home, I stopped by the mall and went into The Face Shop to pick up a new base coat because I ran out, and I wanted to treat myself to a new nail polish as well. They're really cheap and only cost $4 each. Some even are $2, but I didn't like the colour selection of that line. I chose a black duo chrome nail polish that has flecks of green and purple. I was really excited to use it because it looked so pretty in the bottle. But to my disappointment, the duo chrome doesn't translate that well onto the nail... It looks super pretty in the bottle, but it's hard to tell it's even a duo chrome on the nails. I'm not quite sure why this is.
I went to the drugstore and picked up a Carmex. Everyone has been hyping about this so I wanted to try it out. I have really dry and chapped lips that peel all the damn time, so finding a really good lip balm to help with that is really challenging. I use to use Nivea and EOS because everyone was raving about those, but after a while, I found that they made it even worse for me; especially the EOS ones. I wanted to love them, and I bought tons and tons over and over again. They worked for me at first, which is why I kept buying them. But after a while, they quickly started becoming a problem instead of a solution for me. I noticed that the moisture didn't sink into my lips and it just created a film that sat on top of my lips. I would have to apply every 20 minutes because my lips would dry out, which is why I went through so many so fast. I quickly switched to Blistex, the medicated kind, which really helped but the smell was really off putting. I pushed that aside though, because I rather something work than have it smell good but be completely useless. Everyone kept recommending me Carmex, so I thought I would try it out. I've been using it for 2 days now and I'd say it does hydrate my lips really well, but the warning on the back that says "only use this no more than 3 to 4 times a day" really freaks me out. I'm not sure if they will work out for me because every time I wipe my lips after a meal or whatever, my lips become dry again and I would need to reapply. Wouldn't this mean I would need to reapply more than 4 times a day?! WHAT DO I DO???
I saw this Raspberry Ginger Ale in the super market and I had to get it because RASPBERRY! I love anything raspberry flavoured. The drink is okay. I do enjoy ginger ale from time to time so this was nice.
It's getting quite cold now, here in Canada. I woke up today and saw more snow on the ground. I'm not a winter person, so I dread it when it keeps getting colder and colder. Winter just began and I'm already ready for summer to happen again. Sometimes I wish I lived in L.A. for that warm weather all year 'round. I ate Korean food to keep warm the other day.
I was a fawn the other day! I really wanted to play around with makeup because I haven't been able to due to school and projects :(
Picture dump, of course :)
