Back in the days where my eyebrows was upp in the sky lol....Now time to disconnect from my computer, do some face mask and go to bed. Goodnight!
Worst days of the month
Today I get irritated easily and got so much cramp and pain in my stomach. I hate period days the pain is extreme at night and normaly I can't sleep crawling on the bed. I just want to lie down on the bed no study and no work. I never had these before, it started two months ago. I hope the painkillers helps..its not easy to be a woman.

The best mascara for stubborn lashes
No eyeliner just mascara!!
I posted this in instagram about the best mascara that I just discovered few days ago. I have never been a big fan of mascara and I barely use it. I only had owned 2-3 mascara in my entirely life that I actually used, but only very often. The reason why I did not used it because my lashes are very stubborn ( typical asian lashes) whether you curl it, it goes straight down when I add mascara, it doesn't matter what mascara I used I never get the result I wanted. Atleast to stay the curl (not straight, obviously!). But then I also found out not so long ago when I was checking in youtube about the best mascara for asian lashes that WE HAVE TO USE WATERPROOF, because that formula holds the curl compare to NOT WATERPROOF one. The mascara I bought was NOT waterproof since I heard from my friends that its better when you wash it off, but for them they didnt need the waterproof one because they do not have asian lashes like mine, they only need to add one or two coats and thats it PERFECT lashes with curves lenght and volume that last all day. For me I didn't knew that difference that the waterproof has actually better formula. So anyway last week I went to buy a mascara near here and they only had two waterproof, so I checked the brush and choose the one with different brush (compare to the normal mascara brush) which is much better by the way, the brush is very important. So I came home and tried it on after I curled it and OMG!!! IT holds the curl even if when I work out in the gym. Ok unless you sweat aloooooooooot the curl slowly goes down a bit, but if you sweat but not TOO much the curl stays!!. And if you use it daily it last ALL day.. I love it!! I normally use my falsies and still does, because they are just so beautiful and barely need make up with that, but now a days when I am in rush I only use this mascara. I totally recommend it for those who have stubborn lashes. And yes every girls should use mascara it open the eyes and it look so beautiful.
It cost me 12 euro its good price and always check the brush, opened it before you buy it because the brush is very important and the waterproof formula ;)

I woked up around 10 because yersterday i spend quality time with Ruben and watched a movie of Jennifer Lopez called " Enough" i love that woman, she is so beautiful, here face and her voice. I love her style and the contrast of her hair and skin color.
Anway when i work out i sleep better, way much better and i get normally sleepy at 23-00.00, before i was awake all night (kind of). I could sleep forever this morning, but i went up and ate breakfast then went to the gym. Much people than i was in the other day. So tomorrow i want to go as earlier as possible where i can use the machines that i need and be in the weightroom without having to weight. Seriously i didnt know that people here in Spain are actually awake early to go to the gym before 12.
What was your workout today?
My signature hair color
Not many asians can pull off light hair like i have, i didnt thought it would suits me before, but now i love it! Dark hair doesnt suits me specially the jetblack hair. Ii dont feel great in that color, thats why i skip the trying new color and stick with the ones that i have. Just because its fashion doesnt mean it will suits every one. I also had some highlights done under so it wont be too brown.
The hairdresser that i go to is the one we have in front of the flat. They are chinese and very good at what they are doing. They seem not to understand spanish when people try to explain them things, but they do understand more than we can imagine. They are great! Although they should be more talkative to their clients, like being friendly and talking. But the problem with them they barely talk, they ask what you want when you get in smile a little bit and do their job. Old people like to talk while they got their hair done, but the chinese are trying to avoid it. Its all about work work and work. Like " shut up and let me do my job" lol. But i think it is important to make relationships with your customer, make them feel comfortable so that they can trust you doing their hair. But they have their own way..people are different!
Walking in Barcelona
As you all know who follow and read my blog, yesterday we have been packing for 3 days in a row to make sure that the flat is spotless clean. It is always for rent for summer with a lot of cash because its high season and near the beach. People pay for to stay there, so our task was to leave the flat as it was when we first arrived. Since the flat is my man its good extra cash for him.
I miss that flat though already, i cant believe the 8 months we spend our time their pass so fast and we are already in the end of June. So this summer as i have been doing for the last 2-3 years i will stay in the flat of Rubens mom, since they are also going away like always to their home in the north of Spain. Yes they own 3 homes ( 2 flats and 1 big house). I myself havent been in their house in the north of Spain, but hopefully i will one day when i have time i will come and stay for a week or so.
...Anyway this summer wont be any different than other summer, except that i will dedicate my time in the gym every day ( so its healthier summer for me) and i am working on a project that me and my boyfriend are planning. I cant tell anything about it yet, but i can say its my dream about to be fullfilled. We are also going to find our own flat but start little by little, we dont want to be on the top and suddenly go down on the bottom lol. So any nice flat with good price with 1-2 bedroom would be great. I already found many, but since we dont have plan to move until the end of August, i will look for flat one month before that.
Barcelona weather today:
Clouldy, a little bit cold fresh wind. Sometimes its so warm like the humidity and sometimes it feels cold. In general its not cold and its not warm, its stabil.
The only close place where i can take Blackie for a walk. As long there are grass he is happy and also he met other dogs :).
Took Blackie for longer walk than usual...
Its written in Catalan , not many knows that in Barcelona people are Catalan and that means they talk Catalan language, which is similar to french and spanish mix. I dont understand it ...only some words
You cant change who people are, without destroying who they were.
Disgusting summer weather
Day 3 of cleaning the flat and i am so hungry! I was cleaning the kitchen yersterday so we dont have food at home. I have to wait for an hour until i will get food in my stomach, since my driver is not really feeling well. I mean you cant expect to work and barely sleep. No matter how much things that need to be done, the body need rest. I hate depending on someone, i cannot wait the day i get my driving license i dont have to depend on someone anymore.
Today is very hot summer weather, disgusting hot and i feel sorry for Blackie who have to go around with his Black hair, luckily is fresh inside the flat. But once we arrived in Barcelona we are going to sweat like pig. The flat there dont have air, unlike here is fresh. But there its like being in an oven and at night its like sleeping in the Sauna..omg!!! I dont want to imagine that.
Make your smile change the world, but dont let the world change your smile
Back in the days picture taking 3-4 years ago. I cant believe it has been that long. I miss my tan! Got to get myself a sun tanning lotion or oil with highger spf, i dont want to look like raisins when i am 40 lol!

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich and a tragedy for the poor.

The secret to younger looker skin is less sun exposure as possible.
Beauty tips of the day:
Summer is here and before going to the beach and get the beautiful tan that will last longer, DONT forget to exfoliate your body with body scrub a day before. Do it regularly like every twice a week to get rid of the old dirty skin and too prepare it for sun tanning. By doing that you will get beautiful tan that will last longer. You can do it on your face too, but with the face scrub every week.
Tips for younger looking skin: Use high SPF protection when exposing yourself to the sun, have you ever seen a 50 year old asian woman that actually look like 50?? Thats their secret Sun protectio or no less sun exposure as possible. As for me i havent been at the beach or doing suntan for weeks now. And if i will i will use high SPF all over my body. I dont care about the tan anymore, i care about LOOKING younger. Too much sun exposure wont be seen until you get older all the wrinkels and that, YOU WILL NOTICE!!!
You dont want to look like this! Too much sun exposure, she look like 200 years old. So either enjoy your tanning now, or look younger later ;)...what you do now with your body will affect on how you will look when you get older.
Lucy Liu is 44 years old, but she look waaaay younger to be at that age. Her secret, just like mostly asian women, LESS SUN EXPOSURE AS POSSIBLE WITH SUPER HIGH SPF PROTECTION. Thats the biggest secret to younger looker skin. I hope it aint to late for me, because i have been exposing myself to the sun the last three years of my life. But this year HIGH SPF for me!! So if you want to look as young like she do, you know what you have to do ;).
I love pink

We are in Barcelona today to celebrate the tradition called " San juan", to be honest i don't have any idea on what it is about, all i know is that people celebrate it with fireworks, go to the beach and get drunk. Thats the only time of the year with fireworks celebration unlike other countries fireworks is in New year or christmas. In Ireland they have fireworks in Halloween - to wake up the dead?! No idea. I am not a big fan of fireworks, here they throw fireworks early and almost all the day on the street, beach and park where people come passing with their dogs. That's why i dont like this day either because of that. Anyway this day is also a celebration in Sweden called "Midsummer" where we celebrate with friends and family eating typical food of that day and having a great time. I love midsummer celebration.
So it is said that yersterday is the start of "summer", i always thought it was summer since first day of June, but now it is getting warmer at night, its disgusting warm with barely air outside. Sometimes it feels like being inside in a Sauna....
Today we are celebrate San juan by having nice lunch here at the place of Rubens mom. And i have a lot of studies to do...so i dont feel the occassions, i dont feel when its weekend or free day, its freeday every for me.
What are you up to this sunday?
