Hello Kitty Hospital

That's right! Apparently this is the only Hello Kitty themed maternity hospital in the world. It is located in Taiwan, and apparently the facility is authorized by Sanrio. How cute :)

Zits & Pimples

I don't have severe acne, but once in a while, I break out and get a few zits or pimples here and there. One trick that I really like to use is T O O T H P A S T E .
I'm guessing most of you already know this trick, but incase you don't, here's what you do.
Before you go to bed, but a dab of toothpaste just enough to cover the zit or pimple. Leave it in overnight and wash it off the next morning.
The toothpaste should dry out the pimple, making it shrink like a dead flower.
This trick works on me everytime (I only need to do it once), and I personally love to use minty toothpaste because it feels so nice.. like it's actually working :)
Keep in mind, don't put toothpaste all over your face. This could seriously dry out your skin!

Bedroom ideas

I've always wanted a room which looked full.

By that I mean I want it to look messy with alot of colors and stuff; but at the same time, it looks like it was purposely placed there. Below is an example of what I'm talking about..

(BTW I love her shoes. They are Reeboks limited edition Wonder Woman. My boyfriend and I have been searching for them forever, only to find out they aren't being sold anymore)

I also want my room to look organized and cozy with coordinating colors. I think the Christmas lights are a clever idea. Definately trying that out!

I will post pictures of my room once I find my camera charger >____<

All about Circle Lenses

Circle lenses are perhaps one of the most popular trends in the beauty industry as of today. They come in so many different sizes, colors, designs, etc..

While they can enhance your eyes, making them bigger and rounder, they could also cause permanent damage to your vision when handled improperly.

How to clean contact lenses:

1) Contact solutions have expirey dates. So make sure you're using a non-expired bottle. You don't like eating expired foods, and your eyes don't like old, expired liquid in them either!

2) Make sure you purchase the right contact solution for your lenses. There are different types of solutions for different lenses. For colored contacts, use solution for soft contacts. I like using the brand Renu or Opti-Free.

3) NEVER USE WATER AS A CONTACT SOLUTION! I cannot stress that enough. If water worked just as well, why would anyone need to make contact solution? The thing is, micro-organisms live in water, and once the water comes in contact with your lenses, the micro-organisms will cling on and begin to develop. Contact solution contains chemicals which help sanitize the lenses, breaking up all the protien and bacteria from your eyes.

4) Before you take them out, wash your hands and dry them thoroughly. Again, you don't want any water to come in contact with your lenses. Don't rub your contacts. Instead, put the lens in the palm of your hand, add a few drops of solution, and begin to dab the contact using your fingers. This helps to get the protein and bacteria off your lenses. Dab both side gently, and don't rub. This could break your delicate lenses. Lastly, rinse your contact lenses with more solution to get all the protein off.

5) After cleaning, put your lenses back into the case and add fresh contact solution. Also, when you clean your contact case, wash it with water and make sure it's completely dried before you put your contacts in.

How to put on contact lenses:

1) Make sure it's flipped on the correct side.

If it's correct, it should look like a little cup. If it's incorrect, the edges of the "cup" will stick out a little more. Luckily with most colored contacts, you'll be able to tell which is side right or wrong because of the color and design.

2) To insert, put the lenses on your index finger of your more dominant hand, and with your middle finger of the same hand, pull down the lower lid. With your other hand, lift the upper lip so that your eyes are widely opened. Look directly at the lenses while you place the lense onto your eye. I know this step is a bit scary. The first time that I ever wore contacts, it took me 30 minutes to do one side, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy. Trust me.

3) After you have successfully inserted your lenses, blink a few times to get rid of the air bubbles trapped underneath the lenses. You could also close your eyes and roll them around, or very gently massage your eyelids without rubbing them.

4) To remove the lenses, use your less dominant hand to pull down your lower lid, and with the thumb and index finger of your more dominant hand, carefully pinch the lenses without scratching your eyes with your nails.

Tips:

1) Put on make-up AFTER you put in your lenses, and remove lenses BEFORE you remove your make-up.

2) NEVER SLEEP WITH YOUR CONTACTS ON. When you sleep, your eyes roll back. Sleeping with your lenses on could cause the lenses to fall off your cornea and stay in the back of your eye. Also, your eyes need a lot of oxygen as well. So when you sleep with your lenses on, your eyes will not be able to get the oxygen it needs.

2) Never rub your eyes. I'm telling you this because I've experienced this happening: The contact lenses flipping while still in your eyes and rolling to the back of your eye. Also, this has never happened to me, but I think it could rip in half and roll to the back of your eyes too.

3) Wearing contact lenses could cause your eyes to become really dry. Bring a bottle of eye drops with you to moisturize your eyes when needed. Make sure the eye drops are for contact lenses.

4) Most places now sell travel sized contact solutions, which you could bring with you along with your contact case, so you could take your lenses out when you can no longer stand it.

5) If you ever go swimming, make sure you take off your contact lenses. They could be washed away into the pool. And imagine the micro-organisms from childrens urine clinging onto your lenses.

Be safe!

Nail Art

I was looking at somebody's blogspot a long time ago and I came across this nail design that they did. I saved the picture but forgot to save the site :(.. but that blog did have a lot of pretty nail art tutorials.

I recently ordered about 20 new nail polishes from e.l.f. because they were having their Cyber Monday sale and everything was 55% off! Their nail polishes are only $1 each.. so with the coupon code, each bottle was only 45 cents!!!!

Although I heard they e.l.f.'s nail polishes chip easily, I wanted to start fresh with a new set of nail polishes. For 45 cents I think it's worth a try.

Pictures and swatches will be posted when my e.l.f. package arrives :)
