Tumblr Accounts

I was hoping I'd get back into posting on Blogger, but truth is, I write more on my Tumblr accounts now... Eep!

Well, if any of you are interested in following me on Tumblr, you're more than welcome to. You're also welcome to continue following me on Blogger, but I can't guarantee how often I'll remember to post on here. I'll try my best. :3

Tumblr account #1: PeachQT (This is my main account. I blog about life, love, advices, and random stuff, but it's generally about relationships/advices)

Tumblr account #2: 2fatasians (This is a my 2nd account. It is a food blog that my bf & I created. We generally blog about delicious foods we encounter)

Attended the Indie Book Fest today and had the opportunity to meet lots of authors. It was really fun. Linda LaRoque spoke with my mom for awhile about her books, while I got to talk with Ciara Gold. :) Both ladies were very nice and friendly. Ciara Gold even signed my book! It was awesome.

Note to self: Don't let anyone carry your books, esp. if they're eating Korean BBQ & kimchi.

So, after browsing around the Book Fest, I found some food trucks nearby the park & got to eat from Chi'Lantro, which is a Korean/Mexican fusion food truck. I know they had good food cuz when I attended the Food Truck Festival recently, they were one of the ones with the longest lines ever!

I'll be blogging about the amazing food I got to try from them later on my food blog, so check that out!

Hope everyone has been doing well.

Moving Forward

Many people get stuck in difficult situations all the time. Sometimes it is easy to fix, other times, it gets extremely complicated and all of the people involved get hurt in some form or another. For those out there who understand what I mean, I wish you the best of luck in these situations. Hold your head up high & move forward because things will get better. Again, in relationships, communication is the key. I know that things have been rough for myself, but I have a strong support system and someone who I feel loves & cares for me, so I just want things to keep moving forward. No exceptions.

New Year!

It's 2013!!!

I know. I really need to update this blog. Haha.

Just an update. I went back to school, but I'm still working full time.

Recently got sick w/ flu & strep throat, but I'm better now.

Hoping to start posting videos again (I know I keep saying that).

I think this time around though, I'll be posting more cover videos. We'll see though.

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year, Valentine's & Lunar New Year!

~Sherr Bear ^_^

I'm not afraid to start over.

Recently, I decided to go back to school. I felt like it was time to better my education, so I'm going to be studying something that had nothing to do with my previous degree. While many around me are speculating whether or not I can make it, I'm not worried. I think when you put your mind to something, it can happen. I've done it before when I proved that a girl can be good at Shaolin Kung Fu/Wushu/Chinese Martial Arts, and I can do it again.

I know I have to start over on a clean slate (sort of) by starting with pre-requisites, but if it's necessary, then I'll take the class. Many people get discouraged after graduating from school because student loan debts are rising, and job opportunities are falling, so most steer clear from returning to school, but it's never too late to go back to school. This time, I believe that I'm doing something that I want to do, not what someone else wants me to do, so I'll definitely give that 100% (not that my previous degree wasn't what I wanted to do because it was as well, but the events that followed were not what I expected).

I hope many of you out there who still reads my blog post know that you should always pursue a career that you want, not what your family wants or not what others tell you to do. Only then will you be happy with your choice (hopefully). Haha. :P

~Sherr Bear ^_^

Finally... An update!

Yay! I'm sorry. I'm bad at keeping up with this blog, but I'm going to try & keep track of it better.

Today, I posted a new makeup tutorial video.

Enjoy!!!

New Year - 2012

New Year~

Woot woot! :)

New Resolutions.

~Sherr Bear ^_^

Update: May 23, 2011

I know I mentioned on my Facebook fan page & my Twitter that I would be out for awhile from Youtube, but somehow, I've miraculously overcome my recent serious health issue. Even though, I'm not 100% better, I'm getting there.

It's been really tiring & I've been through so much within the past week or so, that I don't even know where to begin. I'm not even sure if I can speak to the world about what exactly happened to me because it was such a shocking/life-changing situation.

Maybe one of these days, I will make a video blog about it. Haven't decided for sure yet, but I really do appreciate everyone's support & love. When I needed it the most, I found out who was really there for me as my friends, and I found out that maybe I hadn't found true love yet (even though I thought there was a possibility I had found someone special in my life).

Regardless, I do want to say that I'm grateful to be here each & every single day. Thank you everyone so much.

~Sherr Bear ^_^

Growing Into a Better Person

I think that over the past year, I've grown & matured quite a bit. I've discovered many things about myself, most of which became clear to me through a couple of mistakes that I have made. However, I am a living human being. I am entitled to make mistakes. I'm not perfect, and I finally understand that now.

Being a Youtube guru has definitely opened my eyes to many new things. I felt like it was part of my growing process, and I learned so much from it. I think it was through the inspirational videos that led me to truly feel confident in myself, which I had never really felt before in reality.

No matter what I decide in the future, I know that I'll always be a part of this wonderful family of Youtube gurus. I feel as though that I have grown into a better person, and with so many of the guru friends I've met, each day has been even more blessed, so I wanted to thank all those wonderful friends/subbies that I've met through Youtube.

Sorry I've been on hiatus for awhile & would come back & make random videos. I think I will try and at least post 1 video every week or every two weeks (depending on my work load) rather than posting once every blue moon.

Thank ya'll so much for your support & kindness~

Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays! Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you have an awesome day & spend the time with your loved ones, just as I am. This year has been a whirlwind, and I'm just surprised that it's almost time for a new year again.

So, recently, I had written an entry on my Luuux page in regards to being rejected by love. I know it may seem like a downer topic, but believe me when I say, the title is not what it seems. If ya'll would like to take the time to read my entry, I'm sure for many girls out there, you'd find the entry more uplifting than anything else. If you'd like to read it, please go to http://www.luuux.com/health-beauty/rejected-love?link=1

Normally, every year, I'd post a blog entry on stuff I like so that my friends would have an idea of what I like, without actually really asking for anything because I normally buy whatever I want.. haha. This year however, I did not post that entry, but that's because even though I bought gifts for some of my closest friends, I wasn't really expecting anything in return. I just wanted to do something for them.

I know I'm more of the giving type, and I don't mind that at all, but I know my birthday is coming up next month, and my friends will need ideas of what to get me. Maybe I'll post that on my Facebook or something. *shrugs*

Anywho, I hope everyone has a safe & happy holidays!!!

~Sherr Bear ^_^

Neglecting My Blog

Yet again... *sigh* Sorry, guys. Haha. Been busy with work. I've also been posting more on Luuux rather than anything else, but again, I've just been busy working period.

I think I'm going to change this Blogger from a review blog to just blogs that I just want to write about. It can be about life, thoughts, makeup, Hello Kitty, etc.

I know I need to pick a winner for my Hello Kitty Makeup Inspired contest, and I will. I'm just waiting for my guest judges to pick a time to work with me on that, and I'll post the winner on my Facebook fan page.

Hope everyone has been well.

Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer Review

Recently, I made the switch from using Shiseido's Tinted Moisturizer to Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer.

I had been going back & forth between bb creams & Shiseido's Tinted Moisturizer, but came to a conclusion that since it's summer time, I don't want to use bb cream that's going to make my skin look more white. It doesn't match my skin color for the summer (especially since I got a tan now). :-P

So, I had been using more of the Shiseido tinted moisturizer, but I started noticing that my skin kept getting more & more oily throughout the day & it was making me crazy because my mascara was running more & I could feel myself starting to break out more because of it.

Normally, I'd say I'm a combination skin type, but I have oily skin, so the tinted moisturizer by Shiseido was not helping me whatsoever. Then, I came across a review on summer makeup in the sun and how it looks natural & beautiful, and the product used was Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer (which contains spf 20).

I made a quick visit to my local Sephora & got one right away to try. My first impression of it was very good. With only the tinted moisturizer (which was a shade or two darker than my skin tone because it makes my skin glow more because of the summer time. I got the shade nude.), I get a natural & dewy look, which I think looks really nice. I just take a little bit of the tinted moisturizer & dot it on my face and spread with my hands (make sure your hands are clean), and that's it~

At the same time, if I add a bit of powder over it (in this case, I used MAC's Studio Fix in NC30), my face looks really matte, but flawless. I really love it! Everyone has been commenting me on how my skin looks amazing & whether or not I'm in love or something because I'm glowing. Haha. But, it's not it... I think it's just the makeup. :-D

Maybe I'll do another makeup tutorial video & show how I use this product in the video. I already did a natural tutorial look. Maybe I'll do an everyday makeup routine video? We'll see.

*All products mentioned in this blog were opinions solely based on my own thoughts. I purchased the items myself. I am not paid to endorse any products, nor am I affiliated with any companies.*

Thanks for reading!

What is this feeling?

I rarely blog about my thoughts or feelings, but I've recently encountered a feeling that's just unexplainable.

Sometimes, people take life for granted, and at times, even take others for granted. I think I came to a realization that someone has become important in my life. Though nothing serious has become of it, it's still a nice feeling, and as much as I'd like to explore more into it, sometimes, it's best to keep things the way they are.

Maybe this blog isn't really making any sense to anyone... Believe me, I don't think I'm making much sense right now, but this is just something that's been on my mind. I've been battling with myself about what this is that I'm feeling at the moment, but the more I question myself, the more confused I just get.

Haha. I guess we'll just have to see what happens... :-) I always tell myself to look on the brighter side of things, and I definitely will.

P.S. I have a new update video on Koji on my youtube channel. Go check it out~ HERE

I was tagged by Lisa (xMaterialGirlsx)

Lisa (xMaterialGirlsx) tagged me & asked me some questions last month. Since I haven't been on blogger, I haven't had time to respond yet.

Here are the questions:

1. What is your favourite thing to buy besides makeup?
2. What is (are) on your wishlist right now?
3. What do you love about blogger?
4. What is your favourite/most recommended product(s)?
5. What do you believe in?
   
6. Share a beauty secret!
7. What's your favourite sunscreen?
8. Where would you like to visit one day?

Here are my answers:

1) My favorite thing to buy besides makeup would be Hello Kitty or bear-related items. I'm a huge Hello Kitty (HK) & bear fanatic (in case ya'll don't know yet... from my Youtube channel).



2) Items on my wishlist (at the moment):

A new laptop, a waterproof camera, 4minute's new CD



3) What do I love about blogger? It's a good way to share thoughts/feelings in a different method (other than being in front of a camera... like on Youtube) :-) It's also easier to maintain, though, I never really use it that often. Haha.

4) My favorite/most recommended product(s) is/are...

Baviphat Funky Look BB Cream #2



5) I believe in a Chinese saying that there are no ugly women out there in the world. There are only women who are lazy. The meaning behind this saying was that women who are lazy will not take care of themselves. If women take the time to take care of themselves, physically & mentally, and spend a little time on themselves, then they'll have more confidence.

6) Oh~~~ Let's see... The trick to looking pretty/beautiful is by applying makeup that looks natural, in other words... make it look like you're not wearing any makeup. My trick? I like using neutral colors for eyeshadows, soft pink/peach colors on my cheeks, and nude or pink colors on my lips. Another thing is that I use a brown color for my eyeliner to soften the look, rather than using black, which will make my eyes look more intense.

7) When I apply sunscreen on my face, it's usually in the tinted moisturizer or bb cream that I'm using. I don't apply it separately, unless I'm at the beach. If I'm at the beach, I don't wear makeup. I just spray sunblock on. :-P

8) I'd love to visit many places one day. I think Spain or France would be beautiful cities to go visit. I also think Japan would be amazing too! Japan is big in fashion & technology. I'd want to go visit places where people go to cosplay... :-D I'm such a nerd.. hehe.

Til next time!!!

Oh! Thanks, Lisa for tagging me!!! I don't know who to tag, so for those who want to, tag yourself & do this survey. If you do so, let me know, so I can read what you wrote. :-)

Graduation & Update: 1000+ Subbie Giveaway Contest

I graduated this past Friday on May 14th! :-D It's pretty surreal. Everything went by super fast. I will not lie though... I sneaked my wristlet with my cell phone in it when I was there, so as I was waiting... I started texting my family & friends. It was kinda funny. :-P

Class of 2010! Yay!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay~ In other news... I know many people have been wondering when I'm going to do my 1000+ Subbie Giveaway Contest. With personal health issues, finals, graduation, laptop being broken, another personal family issue going on at the moment, & not having my 2 main prizes coming in yet, I'm not sure when it will take place.

I was thinking of doing the giveaway contest as soon as I received my 2 top prizes for the 2 giveaway contests that I'll be doing, BUT... I haven't received them yet, so I'm sorry for the delay.

If I feel that it will take longer than I'm expecting, I think I'll go ahead & have 2 of the giveaway contests that I will do (of the prizes that I bought myself) & just have more giveaways later on when the main prizes come in.

Thank you to everyone for bearing with me with all the stuff going on, especially since it's taking longer for me to post due to my laptop being completely broken now! :-)

I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart & that's why I decided to try & give back to my subbies by having the 1000+ Subbie Giveaway Contests. Please just keep checking back on my channel for further updates on the giveaway contests.

Thanks,

Naive Aloe Facial Cleansing Foam by Kracie

Hmm... I recently started using a Japanese brand facial cleansing foam that my cousin bought me from Taiwan. It's by Kracie & it's called Naive. The cleanser is in a green bottle, which is the aloe cleansing foam.

My cousin told me that this cleanser is very good & popular in Taiwan.

After using it, I fell in love with the product~ :-) You don't need to use a lot when applying the cleanser on the face. It's not liquid-y like lotion, but more like slightly glue-y cleansers. Lol... I'm trying to figure out explain how it feels... haha. :-P

I've never used a cleansing foam like this, so I'm not sure what I'd compare it to.

So, this cleanser has a soft, light scent that is very sweet. I really like the smell! :-D I feel that this cleanser cleans, smoothes, and softens my skin. After I wash my face, I don't feel like I overwashed my face because it feels smooth and clean. My face doesn't feel like it wasn't washed either because I feel like the cleanser did it's job by removing the oily parts on my skin, but still keeping my skin hydrated & smooth.

I've heard other reviews on this product that it's good for clearing up acne & it's supposed to help people with dry, flaky skin by making their skin less flaky.

To apply this cleanser, you apply a small amount in your palm & emulsify with water, and then apply it to your skin/face.

Hope ya'll enjoyed this review!

*I am not paid to endorse any products, nor am I affiliated with any companies. This item was bought by my cousin & sent to me as a gift. Everything that I say in this blog is based on my honest opinion & is an honest review on how I feel about the product. I'm simply sharing my thoughts on the item.*

Have a question for me?

I posted a Questions video for all my viewers & subbies on Youtube.

Watch the video here~

I pretty much open the floor up to everyone & asked everyone to comment in the video, asking me whatever question(s) they'd want to know about me. Of course, there has to be limits. I did ask everyone to make the questions appropriate & not too personal.

Can't wait to hear what questions people want to ask me~ :-)
