Happy Memorial Day!

Life has been busy...and when I say "life" I really just mean school! Tests, projects, quizzes, homework assignments, scheduling patients, and finding time for a social life just isn't so simple. This week I was able to get some one on one time with 2 of my classmates because it was her birthday. We had Korean and then walked across to a Japanese restaurant for some mochi dessert. The good thing is that the dessert was delicious...we had an order of mango mochi and an order of coffee mochi. The bad thing is that we had the giggles right when we walked into the very fancy Japanese restaurant dressed in scrubs. The hostess didn't even give us any service! Instead, she bent down and talked to a little boy and asked him if his family (who were outside parking the car) when they wanted to be seated. Awkward? Yes. Did it stop me from laughing my ass off? Nope. I don't think I'll ever show up to that restaurant after embarrassing myself like that... Friday I went to my cousin's graduation in the morning. I can't believe I graduated 3 years ago and although I've grown a lot since then, I feel like I'm still not where I want to be. Anyway, it was ironic because to celebrate we went out for Korean/Japanese! Ha. This time, I did not have the giggles. The bf was gone for the weekend (whoo!) so I spent most of my weekend working on my paper and hanging out with the family. We went to the Monterey Clam Chowder & Calamari Festival which wasn't great but it was good enough for it being the first year. I ended my long weekend with a sore throat and a cough...

Anyway, just dropping in to say that I am on a search for a drugstore moisturizer with sun protection that doesn't give my face a greasy feel! I just went through the Equate/Olay Beauty Lotion w/ SPF 30 and I'm not too happy with it. Not only did I look oily but I feel like I started breaking out because of it. Argh. Right now I am using the Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. So far, it's okay. I also ran out of my L'oreal powder so with the help of my cousin, I got the Bare Minerals Medium Beige powder. I don't wear make up on a daily basis anymore so I've only used it a handful of times. I like how it looks natural and has minimal coverage however, I am still suffering from acne scars so I think I need something else to use while my scars heal. L'oreal gives me good coverage although sometimes it's hard to notice how much I'm packing on and I end up looking like cake face. Well, this past week there was a sale at CVS so I restocked my L'oreal for days when I need more coverage...guess I will have to figure out how to apply sparingly!

Happy Memorial Day! 

P.S. I have plans for 2 Vegas trips this summer (YAY!) and I also booked a Vegas trip for Spring 2013. As much as I say I am tired of Vegas and would like to see more of the world, I can't help but return because of the cheap hotel/flights! It's also a perfect place for me for a quick getaway... dancing + gambling (Sex and the City slots?!) + pools + walking on the streets with alky in hand = happy me!
