2NE1 New MV / Dinner










2NE1's new music video ! The title in Korean is  아파 (Apa) 
"Apa" means hurts basically...
If you have a headache you would say Mauri (head) Apa (hurts) 
It was released on their youtube channel yesterday.
Very halloween-esque. 
Also has a bit of a japanese feel to it.


Here is a site where you can find lots of korean lyrics
translated into english :

Although Daras vocals arent that strong and she is one of the 
weakest dancers of the group she has a lot of charm and is 
good at acting
: ) 


What do you think of Dara ?


In other random news Im going to be making this for
dinner tonight :





I have all of these ingredients in my kitchen at the moment
so I thought I might as well make it ! 


I have a couple pics below.
I made it exactly like aeriskitchen but I added
a touch of nutmeg, red pepper powder and
other random spices. I go by taste ! 
I put the yummy soup in my fav bowl, which I painted myself. 
This is a perfect dinner for fall.

Holy [Insert Curse Word Here]




OMG !!!!!! I dont even know what to say 
HAHAHA !  I wonder this has something to do 
with the fact that Will I AM 
helped 2NE1 ... so he kinda got influenced 
by Korean culture & also I think the Producer is a
Korean-American. Hmm..well anyway this is so
freaking awesome. Koreannnnnn in a random
music video. Yay for that. 
Kinda reminds me how I almost died when I saw
Ameries awesome Korean Tattoo in her MV ^ ^ 
Yes I get overly excited about the most random things.
Anyway, I was just so surprised & wanted to share !
HAHA

Loose No Heat Curls



For those of you whose hair doesnt curl so easily
or if you want to go heat-free for a while,
you might want to try a Bantu-Knot Out.
Its great for anyone with straight-ish hair.
Well, really it could work for anyone -
the result would just be a bit different on
thicker hair !




1. Put a small amount of a  light moisturizer throughout 
your hair. Nothing that will make your hair too 
stiff though. Also this works best on freshly washed hair.
It does not have to be damp though. I did mine dry.


2. Grab random chunks of hair and twirl the hair
in your fingers tightly. The smaller the section -
the tighter the curl. So, just grab the
section of hair and twist it as one big piece
counter-clock wise till its tightly wound.  



( Just a random pic from the internet)


3. After that , coil the hair up close to your scalp.
Wrap the hair around itself like you see
in the pic. If you twist the hair up tight in the 2nd step
it will automatically wanna coil around itself into a nice
little donut shape.
If you have coarser hair it will stay just like that.
If not use a bobby pin to secure.


You will look a bit crazy afterwards but its okay !


4. Put on a silk cap or  bandana or something
to secure the hair in place while you sleep.


5. A bit of hair spray or something that could
keep the curl lasting longer. If it looks okay as is
dont loosen the curls too much with your fingers. 
Just let them loosen up as the day goes so it will
last longer. 


If your hair is rather fine or long and you dont think 
the coils would stay perhaps you could try 
this method instead :





Its a rather  similar concept but just a bit better for
those with long or thin hair. She puts all the rolls
with the clips at the top of her head so that
it doesnt disrupt her sleep. 


When you wake up the curls will look rather separated
so just take your fingers and break them up a bit 
for a natural look! 


Add a cute Hair bow as well !
I got mine online from Forever 21. 
Its called the Chiffon Dotted Head Band 
$ 3.80




Here is my result :

Japanese Magazine Heaven



I just found the most amazing website.
Great for those times when you are super bored !
You can freakin download all the Japanese
Mag Scans you want !
Dyinggggg...like seriously. I cant take this. 
How did I not know about this site before ?!
Im so overly excited I dont know what to do
with myself. 







Here is the link :

www.magzfans.com


I just downloaded S Cawaii October 2010 



http://www.magzfans.com/fashion/201009790/index.shtml



I used the File Factor url (Link #2)
It kinda makes you wait for like a minute but it 
will start dont worry. If you have trouble let me know.



The only problem is that if you download over 150 MB,
you have to wait for another hour to get a different mag.
Usually you can only get 1 magazine per hour
which is still okay. But, if the certain magazine you
want has different links available
to go to different downloading sites...then you can get 
more  !  


For example when I went to download my
second mag ( Vivi November 2010 ) 
I used a link which was in Chinese instead
of File Factor. 


I was lost at first but my  friend suggested that I just click
on the button with the arrow pointing down ! 
& it worked !


Photobucket
But shhhh...keep this your secret !
The more popular a (illegal) site gets the 
more likely it will come down : (

My Fav Moisturizers !








When I can get my hands on some La Roche Posay I always stock up.
Its one of my fav brands ! But for now Im definitely
 loving Vichy.

One thing I really love by LRP is this :



Effaclar M Daily Mattifying Moisturizer 


Here is Vichys Top Seller :





Normaderm Anti Imperfection 
Hydrating Care


I wanted this but it was all sold out when my mom
went to Chicago so she got me the Anti-Blemish one
which is probably even better for my skin type.

But as for La Roche Posay here is the website :
