Time to upgrade your Blow Dryer!

A new year calls for you to clean your blow dryer filter or toss it away if it is has seen it’s day. MY hair’s new BFF is this NEW blow dryer by CHI. Just blow drying with it makes me so HAPPY. IT’S FOR ME! CHI TOUCH is the world’s first touch screen hair dryer!

• 1800 watts gives you 50% less drying time
• Light ergonomic design
• Infrared technology to control frizzies,this ceramic hair dryer reduces static and rehydrates dry damaged hair.
• Temperature settings to control how you want to blow
• There is even a setting for hair type!

Don’t you just LOVE this lipstick pink shade? This shade is a limited edition so if you love the way this sounds go find one! A new year a new blow dryer too! Start fresh!

Coffee Anyone?

Happy weekend!  If you love coffee this recipe is for you!

I am about to make this recipe.

Recipe for YUMMY Coffee Freeze

1 cup of milk

1 cup of frozen whipped dairy topping (or you can make it yourself)

1 package of vanilla pudding mix

1 Tbsp instant coffee

In a 3 cup measuring cup,pour milk and enough ice ( I like to use  coffee ice cubes I make with leftover coffee) just to bring the liquid to 3 cups.

Pour into a blender.Add topping,pudding and coffee,blend until smooth.

Pour,sip  and ENJOY!

Have a delicious new year! Remember life is what you make it.Make things happen and make it yummy too.

My Imperfections Are A Gift!

Your imperfections are too!

You may not like your freckles

You may not like your lips

You may not like the way your skin looks

You may not like your short eyelashes

You may not like your toes

You may not like the size of your jeans

I wish I wasn’t so short,I wish my hair texture was thicker… but this is the way I was born.

I LOVE what God and my parents gave me.These features are me! I don’t plan on having cosmetic plastic surgery to change me,nor tattooing myself and covering my beauty.

This new year let’s make ourselves look and FEEL good by eating better,walking or bike riding more with a dash of a gorgeous lipstick, a kiss from the sun from a walk on the beach or from a bronzer compact and a pretty nail polish.

Love the way you look and if you don’t there are so many wonderful beauty products and tools that can help you along the way. So relax (or start) today and start fresh in the new year starting tomorrow.

You have the power in you.Take better care of your body,mind and spirit too.

Who runs your world? You do!

No matter who you are you are beautiful in your own way too.

Be YOU-tiful! You are a beautiful miracle from God.

Take a wok on the wild side,beauty and more!

It is the year of the snake and our lunar year celebration is now in full swing. We were cleaning up,dumpling making and getting all dolled up for a brand new LUNAR YEAR! Yes,I get to celebrate both new year celebrations.Lucky me!
We are decorating in red and have our jade on…families are celebrating all over the globe!

I’d like to share a few things with you! My FUN take on Chinese customs.Rice powder is a beauty custom that is centuries old. It looks like a white square brownie but don’t try and eat it….just wear it. It tones down shine,makes your makeup last longer and gives you a matte finish.It is also great for guys too!

Drinking HOT not cold Asian Tea is good for your health.It balances out your digestive tract and cleans out the grease from foods according to my herbalist in Chinatown. Drinking it cold does not do the same.

Pearl cream is an ANCIENT Chinese secret that Asian women use for anit-aging.It softens the skin and makes hyper-pigmentation lighten over time.I USE and love it too.Smells dreamy and is opaque and creamy.

I try and use chopsticks on a daily basis…it helps me control my weight cause I eat less! And using them is a lot of fun!

Veggies are a staple in Asian cooking…and in looking good. FRESH is best and Asian women shop for them daily not weekly. Stir some up and stir fry for your health. Go ahead take a wok on the wild side. You don’t have to be Chinese to do it.

Want prettier skin? Give your face a jasmine rice face mask. Stay tuned for the recipe and MORE! Gotta celebrate Chinese New year some more with dinner for two with my sweetie.
