Reality Hits

So I'm moving to a new city at the end of summer and reality just hit me how I am going to be paying bills and what not.

I am going to be opening up my own business, a Face Painting business to be exact. And I freakin pray to God that it is successful and thrives for the duration I'm in the new city. It is scary moving to a new city and starting your own business, but I have enough saved up so that I can survive a year on my own, though my plan definitely isn't consisting of eating up all my savings or any of my savings for that matter. I'm planning on getting this business going as soon as possible once I move there. The problem is finding clients. That'll be hard. As unreligious as I am, I think I really need the big man up in the sky to help me set my life together and help my business be successful and my overall life be successful.

This is scary. I'm freakin MOVING across the country! And starting my own business! I NEVER would have thought life would steer me this direction but I gotta go with it. I know I'll make mistakes but I hope they aren't too big of ones that I can't handle. I just hope first and foremost I don't go into debt EVER. I need to make money and make money work for me. I don't want to be poor the rest of my life. I need to pay bills and live my life comfortably.

All my life I thought I'd be a saleswoman of some sort or some successful business person specifically in the corporate world. I never would've thought I'd be come a freaking Face Painter as an occupation. And though it honestly sounds like a "low job", it really isn't. It's service that's coveted by the wealthy for their children's birthday parties and church events hire face painters and for the most part you get paid extremely well.

I calculated at the rate I'll be charging, IF I want to pay off my apartment rent, gas, food, leisure, and have a LITTLE bit to save, I'd have to do 2 face painting events per week. And my goodness I pray that I can get that many :( To break even I'd have to do 5 events per month, which is roughly 1 event per week. Can I do it? Will someone hire me to do that?

I hope I'm AT LEAST able to break even so I don't dip into my savings. But I think the first few months I'll be dipping into my savings since it takes a while for people to know about my business. Gah.

Alright I need to stop babbling. I'm just anxious about this entire thing since this is new to me to be moving away from home and to be opening a business.

Wish me luck!

Laneige In Store and Online Haul

So I bit the bullet and bought Laneige. Here's what I bought:

• Laneige Multicleanser $22.xx + tax
• Laneige White Plus Renew Skin Refiner (toner) $22 + shipping
• Laneige White Plus Renew Essence $38.99 + shipping
• Laneige White Plus Renew Night Cream $31.99 + shipping

I only bought the Multicleanser in store. The rest I had to buy online because they didn't have in store. They had the "bright plus renew". Bright. Not White. So I was like, huh, this doesn't seem like the same thing.

Anyway, they repackaged and I think also reformulated the Multicleanser. It used to be in a pink tube but now it's in a blue tube. It used to have baby beads inside to exfoliate the skin but this blue one doesn't seem to have any baby beads.

This did some serious damage to my wallet omg. I've never spent so much on skincare so this better be worth it! It better work and whiten my acne scars D: I HEARD from good reviews that it lightens acne scars so we'll see. They did mention though that it takes 3-4 months, or even the full bottle to see results, so I suppose I'll have to be patient about it =/

White Plus Renew Night Cream

They gave me a small sample of the Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel. I've heard okay things about it how it gently exfoliates the skin but I already have an exfoliating gel at home so I don't think I'll be buying the yogurt peeling gel.

Alright that's it folks!

Green Smoothie My Way Out to Clear Skin

K so I don't know if this will actually work, but I think I'm going to drink a green smoothie for breakfast everyday if possible to get fruits and vegetables (...or at least just spinach) in my diet to hopefully clear up my skin.

I can't figure out for the life of me what I'm doing wrong in my life that's causing me to have acne! I don't use 12902388 products on my skin. I just use cleanser, sometimes toner, and moisturizer. That's it. And I eat a relatively balanced meal. I eat fruit after dinner. I change my pillowcase everyday.

I don't get it?

Sure I need to drink more water but that alone can't solve my skin problems. Originally I got broken out because I had an allergic reaction to one of my medicines because it had sulfur in the capsule shell and I didn't know =/ Otherwise I would've had clear skin right now.

So my smoothie will consist of:

• 1/2 cup 1% milk
• 2 spoonfuls of strawberry yogurt
• a Walmart fruit mix bag of Strawberries, Peaches, and Pineapple
• one handful of spinach
• blend away!

I got the idea of making green smoothies from Julia from TheThirdShift

She's doing summerfit vlogging on her journey to a fit body and continuing her healthy lifestyle.

But anyway, yea, my main purpose is to clear up my skin because this is how it looks right now with zero makeup:

Pretty bad right?

I feel sad and ashamed walking outside the house and having to show my zit filled face.

Yesterday I went to the tapioca store and saw at the corner of my eye two old high school friends. I didn't want to interrupt them, but I also didn't want them to notice me either because I didn't want them to look at my awful skin. I felt so ashamed so I quickly left and hid my face with my hair.

If yall have any advice or tips on how to get rid of acne and acne scars, please let me know =/

Camwhoring Session 4

These are pictures I took from my Etude House Pore Freshner review














So now that I've quit my job as a Pharmacy Technician, I don't know what to do with my time. I'm currently sick which doesn't make anything better :( Can't go outside to enjoy this beautiful weather.

I need hobbies. Actually, I just need to stop being lazy =/ I should read up on Excel so I can practice and get better at it for future work since it seems every job in the business world requires Excel.

See yall later~
