YUM! - Double lunch with GOGO Curry!

Last week I was unable to cook and bring lunch in as usual.

First of all, it was the coldest week we've had this winter and I was too exhausted from trying to keep warm to even thinking about cooking anything to bring for lunch. So when Mayu said that she was going to have curry for lunch, I jumped at the opportunity to order also.

Two days in a row I decided to get Chicken Curry from GOGOCurry. It was AMAZING!

Now I will let you know that the only type of curry that I really love is Japanese curry but, even that can be a bit too spicy for me. This curry was JUST right, it had a lovely sweetness to it and I couldn't stop eating.

Everything about this was awesome, including the cheese that sat between the chicken cutlet and the rice.

DELICIOUS!





I will definitely be ordering from GOGO Curry again soon.

Skincare---exfoliation revisited!

One of my favorite parts of my beauty and hair care routines is exfoliation.

I love exfoliating because it removes all of the dead skin and makes me feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and not to mention, softer and smoother. Now that we are approaching the worst of the cold, winter brisk air, it's just about time for me to give a rundown of my absolute favorite exfoliation products.




1. Sara Happ The Lip Scrub

I got The Lip Scrub in the COCOA scent (although I should say flavor because I am always so tempted to eat it, it smells so wonderful). I have been using it on and off for just about one year and I am always super happy with the results. I have always been someone who has suffered from dry chapped lips in the wintertime.


2. LaLicious Sugar Scrubs

I spoke about these before but I have to come back and say that I LOVE the newest fragrance of LaLicious that I have. Last year they ran a promotion for a free body scrub to whoever was on their mailing list and made a purchase qualifying for a birthday gift. Guess what it was??? Birthday cake scented sugar scrub--- delicious!

Two different sides.

Lately something about my hair has really been starting to bother me.

One side is significantly longer than the other. And not in the fun and stylish way that Rihanna had her hair cut a few years ago...


Remember this? 

I have heard for years that this is a normal thing but, after noticing for a while that the right side of my hair was longer than the other- I wanted some answers.

I have tried so many things!

  • Nurturing the shorter side of my hair (applying more deep conditioner for longer, treating the hair on this side of my head like silk to prevent breakage) 

  • Sleeping on the longer side-- hey, I figure maybe sleeping on the left side has contributed to the growth being stunted somehow

  • Cutting my hair to totally even out the sides -- only to see it continue to grow in uneven!   


AND MORE! I have done so much to try and get my hair looking even on both sides but I have just come to the conclusion that maybe it just isn't meant to be. 


How would you tackle this problem?

Found a new favorite oil! GRAPESEED OIL.




Okay so I have come to say that I have found a new favorite oil--- GRAPESEED OIL.

I have been looking for an oil for my hair for so long. I have previously posted about my success in using both castor oil and coconut oil. Recently, I found a woman with beautiful non-relaxed hair on Youtube and in just about all the videos I watched, she was raving about grapeseed oil.

I have tried it a few times and it's been working quite well at keeping my hair feeling nice and moisturized. And it's funny because oils usually make your hair feel dry after a few days but not this one, it soaks right into my hair.

Love it!


What are your favorite oils?
