ASK&TELL: Organization - Messy V.S. Clean

ASK: How do you organize your makeup?

Let me be honest... I have no specific way!!!

As funny as that sounds, I don't really don't organize and usually, I just put things together if they make sense like a grocery store. Frozen food should go with frozen food and dairy products with other dairy products. If you come to my personal bedroom, it looks trashed and messy but to be honest, that is actually how organized I am. Some people like to be messy intentionally and in my room, my clothes and makeup area are intentionally messy most times because for me, it's how I tend to my things. my undergarments and other stuff are clean and neat but not my clothes and makeup.

My makeup is together 4 different ways:

Pallets, lip wear, eye wear, and face powder/liquids.

I usually put all my pallets together in a box because they are bigger, longer, and easier to distinguish. Even if it's a lip wear pallet, it's in the box because it's a pallet. It just makes it easier to find too for myself. For lip wear, I usually put all my lipsticks, lip gloss, lip concealer, lip balm, and lip tint together. Eye wear consist of eyeliner, mascara, eyelashes, liquid liner, gel liner, single eye shadows, eyelid tape/glue, and eye shadow primer. For the face, all my blush, foundation makeup, and my makeup remover.

The reason I separate like this is because I follow a very easy and basic routine for my makeup which is:

 - Cleanse the face with a makeup remover

 - Foundation: Liquid and matte

 - Eye shadow: Pallets/eye shadow, primer, liner, mascara and lashes

 - Blush and setting spray

 - Lip wear

So everything is easy and always together when needed and easy to put away at one time too. Kind of my way to do it and Everyone has their own way of doing it so no worries in following me, someone else, or anyone. Make it comfortable to yourself because then you'll know where everything is and easy to find.

Everyone is different, OF COURSE, but what is Messy? Clean?

Depending on the person, messy can be clean or neat for someone like me.
I like my clothes messy when in baskets. My bottoms like jeans, shorts, skirts, and leggings because it's easier to pick what specifics I want to wear then mess it up again and organize again. Same with my makeup. Even though they are separated, into boxes, drawers, or bins, they are placed in the box all randomly so I do have to search for them, which is fine. For others, they probably can't stand it being dirty/messy all the time and so the make everything neat in order, organized nicely in lines and so forth, which is perfect okay to. 

There is no actually way to be specific about organizing but don't let it get out of hand where you can't see the floor anymore and there are piles and piles of clothes, makeup, or just stuff all around.

For reading and I will see you next time ^^

ASK&TELL: ADDICTIONS - His V.S. Hers

What are your addictions in life?
Everyone has their own little addictions and habits.

Here is a small list of things that we both favor and enjoy....
MINES: Candy&Chocolate, Anime, Manga, Drawing, Final Fantasy Games, and Sleeping
HIS: World of Warcraft[WOW], Food, Sleeping, Staying home, and Teasing till I get angry.

I get really annoyed when someone does the same thing too many times and doesn't know when to stop. Kind of like when you someone tickles you and it's funny the first couple of times but then after a while of telling them no more and they keep doing it, you get angry and they act like it wasn't their fault. I am pretty easily annoyed after doing the same thing too many times.

My Fiance, Naiae - [Na- ay], he does that a lot and and usually it's during when he plays WOW(World of Warcraft) and I really need him to do something too. When things don't usually go his way when he's playing games, He get's angry too. Sometimes, I feel like destroying his laptop when he acts like this.
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS TODAY?!!

We are also trying this thing where we don'try not to go out as much but when needed, we will. It is winter and I really don't want to go out driving in the snowy roads. Sometimes, it will be good to drive on but the at night if it's too cold, the roads slush will freeze and turn into ice. That is the worse of it all THOUGH!!!

I really don't like waiting forever to do something because I feel like the day is wasted but as a guy, he feels like it's okay to stay home all day and I can't handle that. I'm an active person and LIKE TO MOVE AROUND or do something. I don't mind the sitting around and being lazy but sometimes it get old and I get bored easily from just sitting on the laptop all day or have nothing to do besides check or update my Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, or my blog.

I don't know if it's a guy thing but he enjoys just sitting around and being lazy. He can do that all weekend and I can't at all. When we do go out, he doesn't like it sometimes because we either take too long or he just doesn't want to be out. Plus, most times when we are out, he just makes everything seem so bad like, It's the end of the world all the time and KILLS THE MOOD ALL THE TIME!!!



How do I get over this?
Well, to be honest, I don't.....
Some people ask how I easily get over it and I don't. I don't forget or anything. What I do is live to compromise with it. He can have his game, lazy time, and stuff because he likes it. I just have to make sure I plan out my things accordingly so that I tell him ahead of time and at night, He can play games all night or until he's tired.

Just be honest when you can especially when in a relationship. It took us a long while before we got use to each other habits and addictions. I don't support his WOW game because it seems like he's always on it like how he thinks I have too much makeup and clothes which is true. You kind of have to accept it and also learn to limit each other. It never gets easier to be honest but you can always compromise with it which makes it easy for you to be honest about how you want the other to know how you feel about it.

This was something that takes time to get use too and nothing over night.
Especially in a relationship because you want to make sure it's understood on both sides. Don't just assume that they know if you don't tell them. I mean, it's romantic if they just knew and always figured it our easily. BELIEVE ME, I ALWAYS DREAMED THE DAY THAT MAY HAPPEN and once in a while, it really does but don't expect it every time though.



There is never a right or wrong answer about this because maybe your addictions/habits meet half way with others but always remember that it might not and you should also be considerate about that too. Take you time in any relationship like friendship or love. You may never know what others like or may not like/really dislike.

Thank You for Reading. I hope this was useful...

I know everyone has their opinions and stuff about this but this is just how I deal with it in my everyday life with friends and family. Feel free to leave you opinions in the comments and I like to know how you deal with it. Thank you again.

♥XOXO♥

P.S. I was actually really hesitant to answer this question...

ASK&TELL: When is the right time?

ASK: Hi Franny. I was wondering how young were you when you first applied makeup because people think I'm too young right now to apply makeup and what kind of makeup remover and masks do you use?

Makeup differs on people and also on what kind of style you like. I don't believe there is a right or wrong age to start makeup at because my nieces and them love makeup because they think it's fun but it's not like they are wearing eye linear and foundation. They just like the brushes and the blush.
I personally don't think that there is a wrong age because makeup is something that is never going away. Some people may think you are too young but it really just depends on how much makeup you are wearing. I would say wear less when younger because you skin is still growing and you really don't start developing acne until you are 12-14 years of age. That is when you really want to maybe pay attention on what you are doing like showering, sports, skin care, what you applying to your face, and what kind of food.
Not saying that you should not eat anything but maybe take notice of little things like how for some people, chocolate makes people break-out a lot and for some, no. Just something to definitely keep an eye out if you are at this age because I never knew and I broke out badly around my cheeks and nose are until I started using cleansers and other products but now begins the true problem though and that is, which is the right product for you to use to cleanse you face.

- Using Cleansing Products - 

I can't say what is a good cleanser because my skin type may be different from yours and may have different reactions to products. I have used American cleaners such as Neutrogena, Clearasil, and more but for me, they make my face either too dry or too oily so I use Asian facial products and also sometimes clean my face with natural homemade scrubs. My personal skin type is normal/dry and that really depends on the season because during the summer, I may develop a bit of an oil skin due to the heat and sweat but then in the winter, my skin gets dry very easily from the cold and plus, it snows where I am too.
You really have to test a lot of things like when you test makeup but make sure you are reading what kind of skin it works best on. If you use facial mask, most times they are universal for all skin type but when it comes to certain individual products, some may work better or worse for your skin. You have to be careful though because your skin may really act up when using products.

When I shop/look for products in makeup/skin care, 
I usually look for:
FOUNDATION:
   + Tone/Color - You want to match it as close as possible to your skin so it doesn't look unnatural
   + Finish - Test the products if you can and see what kind of finish it has on you skin.
          Is it a matte finish? Does it look natural? Is the foundation blend in my skin?
   + Mineral/Loose Powder - Make sure you are not allergic to anything in the product.


 SKIN CARE/ CLEANSER:
   + Functions - Every cleanser has a function and each one is different.
          Did you pick the right one you want? Repair skin? Toner? Makeup Remover? Skin Whitening?
   + Size - If you can purchase a sample size, try it. This will save money if you don't like the product.
   + Ingredients - If it's natural or has anything I can't use that may have a reaction on my skin.
          Your face has a lot of sensitive spots that can be ruined. Look carefully at the ingredients.

ALSO LOOK FOR REVIEWS but ask questions such as skin type because they might have a different type of skin than you for sure. Everyone doesn't have the same skin tone at all so for others, it may work better or worse.

Cleansers I Recommend for First timers:

FOREVER 21 LOVE&BEAUTY Makeup Remover [ PHOTO FROM: FOREVER 21 SITE ]

 I personally like this makeup remover. It is affordable at a price range of USD5-USD8 and that is not the only reason, it removes my waterproof makeup with no troubles for me. I have been through about 4 different make up removers and this one doesn't make my skin feel oily after the use and not only that, it makes my skin feel refreshed after one use of a towelette. I definitely recommend this makeup remover for anyone and they have it in different scents and types from Lavender, Aloe, and much more.

Apple Peeling Whitening Gel by Arrahan [ PHOTO FROM: GOOGLE SEARCH]

I have used this product for about a year now and I love how well it works!! My boyfriend/fiance purchased this product for me thinking how I may like it and I actually fell in love with it. It removes the deep dirt within your skin and leaves you skin very refreshed and cleansed. I like seeing the removal of dirt from my face even though it's kinda of disgusting knowing how much dirt was built up in my skin. You can purchase this product on Ebay and I HIGH RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
When using this product, only us it twice a week so it doesn't sweep away your natural oils from the skin which helps prevent acne and other breakouts you may have.

Strawberry Pure Essential Sang Sang Pack by VOV [ PHOTO FROM: KOREABUYS.COM ]

This gel type mask from a tube is really nice and you don't need apply a lot either. This was another thing my boyfriend/fiance had purchase for me when shopping. I love the way it smells and how it keeps my skin fresh and soft. This is a gel mask you have to apply and it works fantastic. It makes skin look radiant and feel soft. Not only that but moisturizes and boosts suppleness in the skin. It's kind of hard to find this product on Ebay because I've looked but if I find a site, I'll list it below.

Kao Biore Nose Pore Pack Cleansing Strip [ PICTURE FROM: KAO.COM ]

I have small blackhead around my nose and it's not very noticeable but I do have quite a lot there and so I use this to remove the blackheads and it works great. You get to see the results of the blackheads be pulled out and you only need one strip. The consistent use is every 3-4 days, use one strip to make sure black heads are removed and this is when you first use this product. After the first 3-4 weeks of using it, once every week or every 2 weeks. I have been using this product for about 5 months and I use it about once every 4 weeks or month so in the long run, it is a great investment if you have a lot of blackheads. 10 strips come in 1 pack.

This is all for this post. Thank you for the question and hopefully I can answer a lot more. Hopefully this was helpful to you and until my new ASK&TELL post, thanks for reading!!!

ASK&TELL: Bullying?! How to and Not to

Bullying is something WE ALL deal with in our lives.

When I was growing up, bullying was everywhere from school to the streets.
Recently, my nephew was just bullied for being a little different by the way he answers the teachers questions and he's only 12 soon turning 13. I was really surprised and unaware because he is always so happy around me. I realized that it was probably harder for him to come tell me that he was being bullied since he is still young and afraid of being more picked on at school if he told a grown up. I was actually the first person he told and not too many days after, my other nephew told me that he was being bullied too.
The big question that they asked me was, "What should they do?"
These answers can relate to older and younger people. This can also help with even cyber bullying that is happening a lot more in our world of technology.

I notice that it's harder to know whom or when someone is getting bullied because they person being bullied is scared to say so like my nephews. I feel that it is important to listen and most importantly, be open-minded. This should kind of be step one because if you just assume right away, you forget what is really important which is making the person bullied feel comfort.


Afterwards, make a plan.

I don't mean, 'Get an army and go bully the bully." 
Most people would assume so and when you're older, it may seem like the right thing but in reality, you are only causing more trouble. Especially for kids, you really just want to make sure they feel safe at school or wherever they are getting bullied wither it is the bus or even just walking home. Make sure you have a back-up plan like a "B" just in case it doesn't work or the bully doesn't listen.

If you are like my nephew who already told an adult at school, nothing is really being done, and your friends are also scared to help because they might get hurt, Tell someone like a family/relative you trust to come and talk to the school and parents of the bully. I know it may seem like a home stretch but I had to do this for him and I did tell my sister-in-law, of course, that I was doing this for my nephew. It may seem crazy but if in a high school situation this was happening, it just means you really have to tell you parents or siblings because in high school, you start to realize that, sometimes, not everyone will stop to help and maybe they will or won't but it really just depends.

The same is with cyber bullying. If you are being cyber bullied, you really have to think what is best for you by deleting your cyber bully. If that person still is bothering you somehow by telling lies to everyone about you, you just really have to stop whatever social networking you are doing wither it s Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr for a while because if you keep adding gas to the fire, the fire will only keep growing. Bullies are like small flames. You don't want to add your own flame and gas to theirs because it will only get bigger. Sometimes, you have to stop and walk away. Don't let it get to you. If you have friends, ask them to help you if they can.

Bullying is so bad right now in our society today and it will only get worse if all we do is sit around and watch it happen right in front of our eyes. As a girl, I feel like bullying happens a lot with 'hating' or 'disliking' because someone has the better stuff or even looks better. I admit, I get bullied too from online more than I do in person because the internet 'shows us' from pictures and not from 'personality.'

I can't say that I am perfect and that you will be alright.
Everyone will have a different pace of healing and re-grouping themselves together. Even now, my nephew has grown a fear of answering question in the classroom and I don't blame him from after being bullied. For each person, it takes a different time to heal and re-adapt themselves again to society. What I can say  is that, one day, my nephew will be able to answer a question again in the classroom and I am not sure when that day comes but when it does, I am just going to be proud and happy for him.

I really wanted to talk about this in general because I've I feel like bullying is starting a lot younger now and not only that, this was they first time for me as a older teen/adult to see that even at school, the teachers or school took no action to help. It was actually really heartbreaking to see this happen in my community.
