Sephora Brushes & Naked 2 Eyeshadow

Click the image to view more pictures. My cousin Carol got me make-up & brushes from Sephora. Urban Decay’s Naked 2 palette is absolutely wonderful. It’s nice to have some neutral colors that you can wear every day. Such a great gift! I really appreciate it. If you’re curious as to how I edited the pictures, you can download my action here. It’s Action 10, except in these pictures, I turned off the celadon/robin blue-like filter.

Happy father’s day to all of you fathers out there. I’ll be posting up some more pictures of the gifts I received later. I have plenty of things to do in preparation for my study abroad trip to the UK on the 23rd!

Allison & me

For my 22nd birthday, I had a small dinner at Bar Toscana with some family & friends. So grateful to those that actually showed up since everyone else bailed on me. I had a wonderful birthday with wonderful friends! I can’t believe I’m 22 already… The full album can be viewed here. Missing a picture with Stacey!! 🙁

Bibim Naengmyun

When I don’t have much in my fridge, my favorite noodle dish to whip up is Bibim Naengmyun. This Korean spicy noodle dish is served cold, making it perfect for California’s warm weather. I made mine with avocado, sesame seeds, pickled radish, romaine lettuce, & a hard boiled egg. I’m really proud of the sauce, which I’ve perfected. What can I say, noodles & sauces are my forte.

I’m delighted that I’m slowly gaining more followers on Bloglovin! I better make a new theme & take more pictures if I want to keep this up.

Fundraising & a Fashion Show

I recently participated in a fashion show for a fundraiser & found a bit of time to edit & upload all of the pictures. My mother actually purchased one of the dresses for me–the white cocktail dress from Jacky Tai’s Black & White Collection–as the proceeds will go directly to the fundraiser. I insisted that she didn’t have to, but she insisted that it’s for a good cause. I have the best mom in the world!!

Poutine with Garlic Mussels

Poutine Christine

Filet Mignon Poutine with Mushrooms

Soleil (translates to sun), a French-Canadian restaurant in Westwood, did not disappoint at all. Their poutine was filling & delicious. Their pumpkin ravioli & creamy sauces were flavorful without knocking out your taste buds with a blast of cream & salt. On the weekends, they have bottomless mimosas for $15! Those French-Canadians really put the best twist on fries. I’m really glad Alex was game to come try this restaurant out with me when he came to visit me in Westwood!

I’ll add tons more updates after my Anatomy midterm on Monday. Eek…wish me luck!
