In search for Mr. Right

The topic of dating seems to have become the topic of choice among my friends! And one of the questions I often get asked is -->> HOW DO YOU FIND THE RIGHT GUY??<<--

Finding that someone special takes both a rational and emotional decision, and it literately pushes the boundary of human capabilities! So do not worry if you have had rotten luck with the whole process... We all do. But sometimes, only when we are really lucky, we find the love of our life... but seriously--->



In honor of my friend Krystle, who recently got engaged, I thought I would share some of the my thoughts on how to find your Mr. or Mrs Right!

Why I unsubscribed to Glymm

My November Glymm box blog is HERE

There are a number of reasons why I have unsubscribed, but the main reason is that I find their products very sketchy... for example, last month we got the H2O Hydration by Cyberderm that had the labels taped on, no ingredient list, nothing! I could have easily made that thing myself...  and the same problem this month with the Dirt body scrub... it was just a plastic bottle with two stickers on it...  I mean did people even clean their hands when they put the sample in????

I actually had a terrible reaction to their  H2O Hydration by Cyberderm. As soon as I put it on, my face begin to feel extremely dry, than it started to hurt! my face feels like sandpaper and it was burning! it was so bad that I had to wash the product off of my face immediately and I never used it again. Just so you know, my skin is not sensitive or anything, it's just average oily skin.

I also think the products Glymm sends out are too unknown.. I cannot find and buy any of the products I have received in the past three months in a physical store!  

I felt like a lab rat! I honestly think companies pay Glymm to distribute shitty products and use us as a tester! I cannot believe I paid for any of it!!!

I was seriously going to sue Glymm if my skin got any kind of permanent or temporary damage. I mean I spend so much money on skin care everyday that there is no way I am going to cheap out now. I only joined Glymm because it claims to distribute high quality, well known products! and so far, I do not know any of the brands other than the johnson & johnson baby oil that's worth $2. 

On top of everything, their customer service SUCK!!! I tried to call to cancel for three days.. but no one ever picks up!! you are just asked to call again, you cannot even wait in line to be answered!! I mean why have a shitty phone line if no one ever picks up. WAY TO PRETEND GLYMM!! I was even imagining that they will never reply me and keep me subscribed forever!!! almost give me a little anxiety attack there.

On top of everything, the November bag is only woth $11... less than the $13 I paid for it... nice job ripping people off glymm... real nice job!!! 


Glymm bag November 2012 Unveil

The November Glymm bags are here!!! 

I really love getting these subscription bag every month, but unfortunately this will be my last Glymm bag, I have unsubscribed >.< I actually did not want to get this bag either, but I could not get in touch with the company to unsubscribe before they charge me for the November month. 

I have since subscribed to Loose Button's Luxe Box, from what I have seen I think they truly offer high-end products, and a better value, aka great bang for my buck!  I especially love how their boxes a personalized!! cannot wait to get my box in December!!

There are a whole bunch of reasons to why I unsubscribed, and I will write a whole separate blog on it.. the bottom line, I DO NOT LIKE GLYMM!!!

Anyways, here is the link to why I unsubscribed -->> Why I unsubscribed from Glymm
 
So the theme for this month is small... no.. I mean tiny! Again, there is no full size product, I think that's another theme they are having for all of their bags.  (I know last month's mascara is full size.. that's like the only one in 3 month of products..)

There were five products this month..

LYS Parisien Professional shampoo: 60 ml, worth $2.50 (full size 500ml/$24)
LYS Parisien Professional moisturizing balm: 60 ml, worth $2.50 (full size 500ml/$24)
Dirt sugar body scrub: 15 ml/0.5 oz: worth $1.80(full size 12 OZ/$45)
The New Black nail polish: 4ml/0.125oz: worth $5.00 ($15 or a set of 3, these are normally sold in sets)
The Beehive perfume: 0.7ml/0.024oz: worth: approximately $0 (full size 100ml/$35)

So in conclusion.. I paid $13.56 for my Glymm bag, and received $11.80 worth of product... nice job Glymm, real nice job!

LYS Parisien Professional shampoo: 60 ml, worth $2.50 (full size 500ml/$24)
LYS Parisien Professional moisturizing balm: 60 ml, worth $2.50 (full size 500ml/$24)
The New Black nail polish in the colour Gold Grenade.. it's about 1/5 of my full size nail polish. I do not want to say anything about the colour... let's just say I would not buy it myself.
Dirt sugar body scrub: 15 ml/0.5 oz: worth $1.80(full size 12 OZ/$45)
The New Black nail polish: 4ml/0.125oz: worth $5.00 ($15 or a set of 3, these are normally sold in sets)
The Beehive perfume: 0.7ml/0.024oz: worth: approximately $0 (full size 100ml/$35)

I do not like perfume so I do not care about the size, but I dare you to find a smaller perfume sample! These three items are too tiny to have a picture of their own...

Overall... what can I say...I have learned to not expect too much...  I already unsubscribed and I have no regrets...

Good luck to all your guys who are still with Glymm...I truly wish they can stop ripping everyone off. As for those who are on the fence of joining, I hope you fall outside of the Glymm fence, I had to battle my way out...

Outfit Of The Week [Minty Green]



Finally, another Outfit of the Week! I was really sick this past week, and did not have the energy to blog or smile in photos… so sorry for not posting anything for a while..
But I went shopping this past weekend and bought a beautiful white leather jacket from Danier, and 2 beautiful cardigans from H&M!! One of which I am wearing in this OOFW!
I hope you all enjoy this look!! let me know what you think in the comment section below, and be sure to follow me by clicking on "join this site" on the right hand side!!


I actually pulled together two looks, the first is a chillax look, I then transformed it in to a more dressed up look by adding a skinny belt and a long necklace.
The mint green cardigan I am wearing is the pieces I got from H&M, and my current love!! The colour immediately jumped out at me when I went into the store. The cardigan has this furry look to it that was just sooo cute and sooo pretty!

I also got it in coral colour~
 
I am wearing a thick black panty hose/ legging (I am not sure what they are called) with a long black shirt, or a short, short black dress, you know, ones that are long enough to cover your ass, but too short to be wore alone.
One of my biggest pet peeves, and I am sure you have heard of it before, is people wearing legging as pants. THEY ARE NOT PANTS!
I can be a little lenient on people who have a nice figure, they can show off as much as they want as long as it’s appealing... But I hate it when I see people wearing legging that are clearly too tight for them, and you can see their fat rolls being squeezed out, and ugly underwear linings, yuck! That just ruins my day. 

So for the casual look, I let the cardigan hang loose, only buttoning the last button, a baggy feel <3 I think the look is perfect for hanging out with family or with a boyfriend, very cozy, very comfortable!

I am not wearing shoes here, but I feel a fluffy UGG would look perfect~

To transform it into a more dressed up look, I buttoned up the cardigan, pulled out my black skinny belt that I have also wore in this outfit to give me a waist >.< I also took out my beautiful jade necklace that matches the colour of my cardigan to add a subtle detail.

A nice pair of leather boots or  heels would go nicely with this outfit!

Let me know what you guys think of this look~ and I will post again very soon <3
