Welcome

Lately I've worked a lot on blogs to share music and videos, but now I wanted to work a blog just about me, I'm studying Chinese (Mandarin) and so I wanted to have a blog to write out the details of my day entirely in English, Chinese, and if I continue to study anything else I'll add that too ;P

Pure Leaf Voxbox Review

Hey everyone, it's been quite a while since I've posted here.



Disclaimer: I received this product for free for my honest review. If you'd like to be able to get stuff like this for free, you can check out the information here.

This box comes with two teas from Lipton's Pure Leaf line. The box contained Green Tea with Citrus iced tea and Black Tea with Vanilla. They retail for around $4.99 a piece, so this box is a 10 dollar value.


I'm a major tea drinker and I have found that it's hard to find a vanilla tea that doesn't taste artificial. This tea actually contains vanilla bean, so this is literally the only vanilla tea that tastes natural. The black tea is very smooth and the vanilla is just perfect here. It's not overwhelming like some black teas can be. This is definitely a new favorite for me!


So I'm not super into iced tea, as it's winter I prefer my tea hot. So I tried this tea hot and it's just beautiful. It has a mixture of lemon and orange flavors and it just mixes with the green tea. The tea is definitely smooth and not too astringent. This is a crisp and delicious tea and definitely worth checking out.

I really hope to try more tea themed boxes in the future!

Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps Review (received in the Flawless Voxbox)


My Review of Harvest Snaps' Snapea Crisps #HarvestSnapsLove

Peas don't normally rank too high for me as snack. I don't really like peas except mixed into something like soups or pies. So I was a little hesitant to try this. But I'm really glad I did, the flavor is light, semi-salty and really delicious. I think this is a great idea for a healthy and delicious snack, this product is very unique and I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to drop regular greasy potato chips, this snack is just as good and doesn't contain the nasty extras that regular potato chips tend to have.

The cost of these snacks ranges from $1.79 - $2.29 and there's a good amount of product in the package (this is the small snack size one, there is a bigger one available).

I received this product in Influenster's Flawless Voxbox.

TRESemme Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo Voxbox Review

Hey everyone! Thought I'd drop in and review this box really quickly



Disclaimer: I received this product for free for my honest review. If you'd like to be able to get stuff like this for free, you can check out the information here.

So this is my first time using a dry shampoo, I'm pretty particular about my hair and don't usually go more than a day or two without washing my hair, but I thought I'd try this out and see how well it works.

The scent is really fresh and citrusy and it doesn't leave any kind of white cast in your roots, I did feel some tingling, but that went away after I massaged the dry shampoo into my scalp, my roots looked nice and fresh and my hair looked really good after using it.

My hair looked really great and I can totally see myself using this more frequently. 

The cost of the shampoo is around $4-7 dollars to buy in store and there is about 4.3 ounces in the bottle. I believe this can last quite a while and I'd really suggest this if you have fine hair that needs some volume, it's also helpful for people with really oily scalps.

ZzzQuil Voxbox Review


Hey everyone! Dropping in again to make another post, I'm not too sure how often I'll post, but hopefully it'll be more.

Disclaimer: I received this product for free for my honest review. If you'd like to be able to get stuff like this for free, you can check out the information here.

So for years and years (more than half of my life) I've had sleep issues and I've been trying to find a decent medication to help me out that and that is hopefully not habit forming. A lot of my sleep issues stem from depression and anxiety to the fact that I have chronic nightmares and it's hard for me to stay asleep.

I found that I got about 7-8 hours of sleep, that was pretty much uninterrupted. I didn't feel groggy or anything when waking up and for the most part I didn't have any dreams that I remember, which is great! Only downside was that it took longer than 20 minutes to kick in for me, closer to like an hour or so before I got sleepy.

Overall this medication did work pretty well, though I think it's more effective for people who have very minor issues with sleep and insomnia. Would rate 7/10!

TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Pre-Conditioner & Shampoo Review

Hey guys! Long time no see! I'm dropping by to post a short review, I've been considering turning this blog into a review blog of sorts to start using it again consistently. Hmmm..


Disclaimer: I received these products for free for my honest review. If you'd like to be able to get stuff like this for free, you can check out the information here.

So I've never even thought of using a conditioner before shampoo but this idea sounded really interesting to me. Both of these products smell really great, kind of a sweet floral scent. And according to the instructions, you should put the pre-conditioner in for a minute and then rinse and then shampoo and rinse again. 

My hair is very fine and curly and unfortunately tangles quite easily, so in my experience when I've used just a shampoo, my hair is quite impossible to comb through with my fingers or a brush. So I wasn't really sure how this would work. But I have to say that my hair really really felt soft after using both products and I could actually comb through my hair pretty easily. Naturally as it's summer I've been dealing with a lot of frizz so I do tend to use a dry oil after showering but I decided to see if this would control my frizz too.

it actually did a good job of controlling frizz and it really seemed to help volumize my hair and keep it soft and manageable. I would really suggest this product if your hair is flat or really thin or fine and you want more body to it. To get the set is about 10-12 dollars to buy in store and I think it's quite worth it as there is 16 fl oz (488 ML) in the conditioner and 25 fl oz (739 ML) in the shampoo.

Today!

Hi, sorry it's been a while and even longer since I've written this to be translated into Chinese too!

Tomorrow my baby sister leaves to go back to school in Utah. Today we are going to the park to have a picnic and a piñata. :) It's actually been about two years or more since I've hit a piñata. T_T always gone when they do it for Christmas!

Ah well.... Also been doing well with my exercising. Am up to nearly 20 miles a day on my bike and I've been training my arms too. So overall I'm feeling pretty good ^_^

你们好,啊不好意思,最近没有新的blog在汉语。

明天我的妹妹回去Utah,因为她的大学开始了。 所以,今天我跟家一起去公园,有野餐还有piñata。
其实,这是第一次在两个年,可能有pinata, 我总是不在啊! 〉。〉

哎呀。。。无论如何,行使过顺利的。 每天,行使20英里!好幸福。

每天过好的。
