She

i'm just in a good mood today, and yesterday since it's TWO IN THE MORNING! but who cares?...

"Sometimes the simple things in life is what we don't strive for; we almost forget that simplicity is also a way of life."

the quote is originally from a fanfic i read, but i canNOT remember where i got it from. =;( i changed like two-VERY MINOR-things to the quote, and if you know who it's from, please comment and tell me! i want to give full credit to this amazing quote! forgive me for not citing!!! *bows*

all i have to say is WATCH IT! and that's it's BEYOND amazing! haha. <<---- saturday....

on sunday! my aunt and uncle were suppose to take us to, 'Oceans of Fun,' a water park in Kansas City.
it was going to rain, and it did rain. x(
my aunt had some hope of going since she woke up at seven in the MORNING and said it was bright and sunny and that we should go!

three hours later... the storm hit us! XD
my brother was a lump of rotten pudding when my uncle brought us back to our house (the one that has my mom there and my clothes and compooter and ipod and the whole nine yards. xD).
but he got over it as soon as he was playing chess and losing. but i love him so! haha.

<3

ReviewS. :D

hellooo!!!
i haven't posted in awhile... less than a week though! hahaha.
so i've been occupied by reading for the past few days of summer break. ^_^

onto the main reason of posting!
i have TWO (yea! i said TWO! as in DOS! as in BANANANAS! x3) reviews for you lovelies. :D
so read on! ! !

oh! ps- bought these products with my own money! muwawawa.
----
 **the first product :

Neutrogena's Body Clear Body Scrub

my body skin (sounds funny xD) always broke out. I remember asking the doctors about it but only getting prescribed to a really smelly cream that failed. so i just forgot about it. i was never crazy about how my skin was until the beginning of this year. 

preeetty late right? 

but better late than never.

so anyways! i found this scrub while exploring the depths of Neutrogena and decided to give it a try. (:

and my review is 5 out of 5 stars. (:

the scrub has small microbeads that exfoliate the skin. the product also contains salicylic acid, am acne killer! muwawa.

i use this three times a week with a bath sponge and it works REALLY well!

you can feel a difference after the first use, and after two or three uses, you can definitely feel your skin becoming softer and less red from breakouts. (:

my arms and back have crazy acne so this solves the problem. :D

and DON'T forget to MOISTURIZE! 

i use Bath & Body Works White Citrus. ^_^ sooo yummy.

the results will show over time, so be persistent! hehe.

also! the size is pretty awesome. i got this for little over five bucks i think from Wal-Mart.

it'll last you for awhile, but then... it depends on how much you use and how frequently you use it.

but good luck!

-----------

**the second product :

Pantene's Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask

my hair is a true mess. a so called straightening perm in Vietnam (tell you the story later :D) ruined my hair BIG time. so after a year or two, i got another perm (sounds stupid right? but i'll tell you more about my hair history later!) in America. and boy did it make a difference! x3

after my second perm, my hair was way better! less frizziness and crazy messiness. 

but it was always dry and didn't have much shine to it.

so i came across this product when i was in Wal-Mart (AMAZING PLACE!), while exploring since i was bored.

i bought it and started to use it.

the mask should be on for at least 5 minutes, but i leave mine in for 10-15. :D

your hair will feel amazingly soft and smooth in the shower, but when it's fully dry, my hair is still a bit dry.

but i continued to use it.

yesterday was like my tenth use i bet, and i've been noticing huge changes in my hair.

my hair is softer, shinier, and even more easier to manage, which is a life-saver.

it just takes time  i guess, and i'm glad i took my time. (:

the smell is amazing and overall, my rating is:

5 out of 5 stars.

i was planning to give it like 3 since i didn't get any results,

but then just thought to give it a chance.

the container is quite hefty for about 5 bucks. 

i use the mask two-three times a week.

depends on my mood. xD

but it's really worth a buy. our hair needs a treatment once in awhile, and this one is cheap. (:

ps! wear a shower cap after applying this on! the heat will do even more justice!

-----------------

so those are my reviews. :D

i REALLY wanted to do these products justice because they did justice for me. ^_^

i hope you put some thought into buying these products. (:

but remember that products only aid your problems. your lifestyle has to be healthy and good, to live well. (i think that sounded REALLY weird...)

so, see you on the next post. :D

i think i'll be talking about my hair! xD

we'll see....

hehe.

<3- mintylovee. (:

guess what store i'm in? ^_^

<3

Rant-ish-y. xD

ayoo my mintylovelies. :D
it's been four days or so? or is it three?...
but anyways!

how;s it been? awesomes i hope, because mine's been sucky. =.=
'Recognition' was super boring and we 8th graders felt no love or congrats for any of us. we didn't even get cake or a shout out or anything!
it went by ok and i took pictures with me peeps but i can't upload them. ): ): ): i lost or threw away my cable for my camera and I HAVE NO IDEA HOW! i cleaned my whole room yesterday and STILL couldn't find it. ): ): ): i was so frustrated i cried! i still didn't believe that i just 'threw' it away! but i guess i'll wait until my birthday and ask for some money to buy a new cord from ebay (muhahaha!).

no one went to the recognition from my family. ): i felt so hopeless and not loved when i saw how all the other parents brought flowers for their kid even if the celebration sucky.
so we went to eat at Isle of Capri and told everyone about it (my aunts, uncles, g-ma). some were like 'i couldn't' and made excuses and blah blah blah. my mom started to rant and talked about how it wasn't important. i wanted to cry so bad... it's like she broke my heart saying as if i'm not important.

with my mom, she only tries to spoil me. it feels as if this is her way of 'loving' me; because my brother gets all the attention and laughter and happiness. when i was his age i was shipped off to my grandparents and didn't get any parent love. so i'm pretty jealous of my brother.
i'm glad she likes to buy me stuff but she goes overboard. the only times i ask for some money to buy stuff that i've been eyeing for awhile is on my birthday, christmas and chinese new year. i usually get a hundred bucks and spend only thirty or forty of it. not much.

but i wish i was closer to my mom. i talk to my friend, Maranny, about everything and she does the same with me. we are so close that it's scary, but a good kind. she also has problems with her mom, so we help each other out. (: i also look up to her though. she's a true sweetheart.
----
so anyways! no more sadness!
we all have problems and this blog is for me to rant silently but i talk to Maranny when i need someone. i also wished i had an older brother or sister to talk to.
but i'll be updating on monday on reviews on two or three products. (: and they're fantabuloussss! hehe.
i also want to do a tiny wish list. keke.

-love always mintylovee. (:

ps- for anyone who reads this bloggie but hasn't followed *sigh* xD, how did you find it? and do you wanna help me get more readers? that'd be awesome of you!

i love everyone who's reading this blog, followed this blog,

being a silent reader or even telling another person about this blog. :D

please support me, because when i invent some way for us to fly,

i'll give you guys some credit. hehe.

JK! but really...

thanks a lot. :D

Wal-Mart Haul? xD

hehe. i is back!
with a haul...-ish. :3
i went to Wal-Mart on sunday, hoping to find the Goody Spin Pins!!!! but they didn't have any. broke my heart. ): *sigh*
so i bought other stuff that i dreaded to have (well... not really ^_^)
i was so hung up on the facial care items that i FORGOT to buy new earphones! =.=
my old ipod earphones are dying from being tossed, dropped, stepped on and so on... so much abuse.
but i'll buy one sooner or later!
my main motivation to going to Wal-Mart was to go buy facial care products, but when i told my mom she didn't want me to?...
she said that Laneige was clearing my skin up REALLY well! i had a few pimples here and there from being to lazy FORGETTING (cough cough) to use them and from the stress and junk food. hehe. and plus, i sweat like a banana since it's like 80 degrees everyday! xD
so onto the haul!!!!!RA
----

as you can see!
i have a knack for tea!! ^_^

- MILANO COOKIES!!!! mint-choco!!! RATING: 10328409 out of 5. hehe. i loveeee these cookies!
-Coppertone Sport Sunscreen SPF 50! i'm going to be out in the sun a lot from trying to get back in shape this summer since there isn't any summer school so yea... gotta protect that skin! but this is the water-proof one so it doesn't get in your eyes or run. i used it once and love it already! your skin feels freakin' SMOOTH after applying it on. hehe. it's about seven bucks i think or was it eight? xD RATING: 5 out of 5. (makes sense now... :3)
-Bigelow Plantation Mint- Black Tea w/ Mint! RATING: 5 out of 5! i love this tea! it soothes the body quite well and it just feels awesome afterwards! i also did some research on tea and this brand just for the heck of it and found out that you can do TONS with tea! but that'll be for another post. ;P
-Neutrogena Boody Clear Body Scrub! RATING: i'll get back to it... *cough cough* so yea... my body breaks out like a cookie! whiteheads and blackheads and stuff so i wanted to try this out. ^_^ i smell a review coming sooner or alter. xD
-Goody Black Elastics!: RATING: i'll also get back to that... *cough cough* i needed elastics and these were cheap! 250 pieces for 99 cents! hehe. i'll probably use them when i attempt to braid my short hair (which has grown quite a lot!) or just to put them into pigtails. ^_^
-Lipton Green Tea! RATING: 4.9 out 5! but i blame myself... i let it brew too long, so it came out really bitter. =.= otherwise yea... sorry Lipton! XD
-----
and that's it!! hehe.
my recognition is tomorrow! but no one is coming. *sigh* oh wells! i'll do something...
i'm singing with the choir for the beginning and ending of the ceremony. it's also an award ceremony so chaos here i come!
i wish i would be valedictorian but my friend, Cynthia, is SUPER smart! her family is SUPER smart, so she's lucky. ^_^
but i'm really happy for her! she's a sweetie pie and is a genius so it's all good.
ALSO! i'm going to eat at Ryan's and BOWLING! with my friends after school ends! so pic load... maybe!
----
so yea...
pray that i don't fall off the stage or something. huhu.
