Lips || L'Oreal Colour Riche Balm

I picked this up at my local Target, and I'm in LOVE! I'm not a big fan of a lot of pigmentation on my lips (weird, yes I know) so I really like that it's sheer but still has some color. The color is called "Caring Coral." In the picture, the color is a bit lighter since I had gotten some foundation on my lips during the application, so it neutralized the color my lips quite a bit.



It's lovely. It's my go-to shade for now since my boyfriend doesn't like sticky lip glosses!

P.S. I'm very sorry for the poor lighting/quality of pictures of the product. I'm trying to get blogging pictures done while I'm at school, and the lighting was just horrible that day. I'll try to work on it!

Nails

I was scrolling through my Tumblr (http://joeybean.tumblr.com) feed and found random inspiration for these nails. Annoyed that the black tips on my thumb chipped a bit before I could take a decent picture of it though!

MSY

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have a new boyfriend. "New" in the sense that he's different from who I was dating when I was blogging in the past. We've actually been dating for 6 months now :) His name is Minghye Scott Yang, and he is amazing. He also just happens to be my Jie, L's little brother, haha! It's funny how life works things out for you.

Well, like I said, we reached 6 months recently (on the 16th, actually). I posted the first picture on Instagram (follow me: joeybean), so if you're following me, then you've already seen it. But I like the collage so much that I wanted to share it on here. It's just a compilation of pictures of us these past 6 months!

 

Here is a picture of what we did to "celebrate." I say celebrate in the loosest term possible because we're both a little tight on cash, so we went on a double date with our friends :) Had delicious ramen at Shin Sen Gumi, and he let me order whatever I wanted! Which included the crab croquette! Afterwards, we went to Tebo Tebo Tea Lounge where I ordered a Mango Moonlight (I believe!) which is a mango flavored tea with bits of green mango. Our anniversary was special because we just spent time together and in good company. We're hoping to do something bigger for our 1 year in July though :)

Chicken Salad

After being super duper healthy for a good portion of last year, I (unfortunately) let go of my.. inhibitions when it came to food. The boyfriend also gave in more than usual and we ate out a LOT. Once the new year came, I wanted to get back into the rhythm of things. This is one of the meals that I made to eat. Pretty healthy ^__^


Romaine and spinach leaves. 1/2 a grilled (perfectly!) chicken breast. Avocados. Fat free soy ginger sesame dressing.
