Party all Weekend

This weekend has be very eventful! So much fun that I didn't get a chance to do a post for yesterday (15 April). Just want to say "Hope everyone turned in their taxes!". Margaritaville was amazing! Ryukyu Kaiennsai (Okinawa Seaside Fireworks Festival): Hanabi Illusion was awesome! 

Now it's time to wind down & relax. To start off, wash your with my favorite face cleanser  & apply a lite layer of overnight moisturizing cream. That will help restore all the moisture that was lost throughout the day & fill in the fine lines. Remember to drink a glass of water before you go to sleep! In the morning, your skin will feel refreshed. Did I ever tell you, how I have one of the most amazing husband ever! He bought me two dresses today (plus a new tv) at the Base Change. Thank you sweetheart! I heart you so...

Below are some pictures from Margaritaville on Friday night & Saturday Beach fun:

Sunshiny Tips

So we all know Summer come after Spring & that means a lot more sun, beach & hot weather. (I hope Rebecca Black doesn't make a song on the seasons now) Here are some tips on how Okinawans still cool & refresh during hot Spring months right into Summer. 

1. Drink a full glass of water before bed. This helps improved your complexion a ton! Plus, your eyes are more awake looking in the morning too, and less red.
2. Drink another full glass of water when you wake up (before or after you brush your teeth). Not only will it help you feel reinvigorated, it also helps curb early morning sugar cravings. But also, remember to keep hydrated throughout the day. Water, Vitamin water, Gatorade, Podwerade etc. Try to still alway from sodas and sugary drinks.
3. Before apply make up on, use a facal moisturizer with SPF 15+. This will help protect your face from the sun's harmful rays. Also a apply sunblock or body lotion with SPF+ on your arms & legs to provent sunspots. Do this even when it doesn't look like there will be sunshine. The ray's still shine throught on cloudy days.
4. Sport a stylish hat or an umbrella when heading out into the sun. This look is great for the beach or shopping outdoors. It will protect you head/ hair from the heat of the sun.

Spent the day folding laundry & out with my friend Stephanie at Sunset Beach shopping area. Went into Village House but didn't get anything. Then walked into Pishposh & I had to get them in silver with purple! (picture below) I love the color purple. This afternoon, I got Crimson for a walk along the seawall. Met this photograghy, Mr. Miyagi, he took lots of picture of Crimson playing on the wall. Then pictures of the both of us playing with the sunset & the ocean in the background. He thought I was Japanese! To his surprise, I'm Vietnamese. He told me that I'm the first Vietnamese he has met. Now, I feel surprise. tehehehe Then a bunch of girls came up & started petting Crimson. I have to give my puppy props. He is a magnet for photograghy & chicks!

What a Day!

Today proved to be long & exhausting but FUN! Got to sleep in a little. When I woke up I thought I was late picking up my friend for her appointments. We had some down time so we decided to take Crimson (my puppy) to the beach near by. He had a great time playing with seaweed, sand & water. He kept on digging a BIG hole where my friend was sitting. Everytime she moved away from the hole, Crimson dug the hole alittle bigger to her. LoL It was a cute moment. Tonight was the first night of the Fashion Show practice. Let me say this "I have been to more organized ones before!" It was a complete MESS! Some didn't know what to do, where to stand & pose. No one had there unique style. Everyone pretty much copied off each other. Let's get something going here people! Hopefully the next one goes better.
