2 30 before 30

Early this year, I chanced upon this travel blog from the sole sisters and ever since then, I was inspired to travel more and see the world. They also inspired me to make a 30 before 30 list. This list,similar to a bucket list, contains 30 things that you want to achieve or places you want to go to before reaching 30 years old. (I'm currently 23 so I still have 7 years to complete! ) Most of the items on the list are related to traveling as this is my current passion today. Some items are things I want to achieve or skills I want to learn before hitting 30. Hopefully I will be able to finish this list before leaving the line of 20s :)

0 HUMAN HEART NATURE | 100% Natural Purifying Facial Scrub

100% Natural Purifying Facial Scrub

Exfoliate your skin the natural way with our 100% Natural Purifying Facial Scrub! Made with real strawberry seeds and fine bamboo granules to soften your skin while gently removing dirt and toxins, you can now show off your healthy, smooth and luminous complexion without compromising your skin!

First time I used this product, I fell in love with it instantly! I love the strawberry smell, not too strong not too light. :) Packaging is cute too. Simple yet eye-catching enough. No harmful chemicals: no parabens, pthalates, SLS/SLES or other toxic substances. (Only the Good :)) The one I got in February has fewer grains (strawberry seeds) and the fine bamboo granules are too fine to be seen but on my third order, this batch contained more strawberry seeds and the bamboo granules are much more noticeable.

  INGREDIENTS:

 water, stearic acid (vegetable derived), decylglucoside (coconut derived), glyceryl stearate (vegetable derived), sodium lactate (sugarcane derived), sodium gluconate (sugarcane derived), Bambusa arundinaceae (bamboo) stem extract, Fragaria vesca(strawberry) seed, levulinic acid (rice/corn derived), coco glucoside (coconut derived), glyceryloleate (coconut derived), xanthan gum, fragrance (all natural), phytic acid (rice derived), anisic acid (anise acid derived), iron oxide (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)

I must say that this product is really effective. Im on my third tube now. So far it prevented my breakouts cleared my skin. I’m definitely going to stick with this facial Scrub. 5 stars out of 5 for this product. J

Did you know: Salicylic acid, one of the most common ingredients found in many chemical facial scrubs, is designed to fight acne and is also used as an exfoliant. According to cosmeticsdatabase.com, salicylic acid may have harmful effects on your brain, nervous and reproductive system and can act as a skin irritant andpenetration enhancer allowing other harmful chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin. Because of this, its use is restricted in Canadian and Japanese cosmetics. So why use it in yours? 

0 Unfair Korean Beauty!

I've been searching Youtube for everyday make up tutorials and chanced upon this video. When I saw this I was like, OMG she is sooo pretty!! What is it with korean genes? Why? why? why haven't I been born as pretty as her? Life is really unfair >.< By the way, this is her blog here. I learned that she is pregnant and is going to give birth soon. Why be pregnant and be so beautiful at the same time? wahhhh :( okay, rant over. anyways, I hope she delivers her baby safe. I hope that she and the baby make it :) Oh by the way, if she ever read this post, you are officially one of my girl crushes. ;)

PS: Thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I learned a lot :D simple and elegant make-up tutorial :D Keep up the good work!

I got the freebie for item purchases worth 2000 PHP which is the milk talk kit! :)
