As an international student, I am now living in downtown LA. For the last few months, I have been preparing the big move. I have to travel to the other side of the world alone, pack up my whole life into two big luggage and one carry-on. The journey is amazing, yet terrifying! This is the first time I ever leave home, let alone live in a different country.<br>

I recently when shopping at Lush, and got 3 of there <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Shampoo-Bars/shampoo-bars,en_US,sc.html" target="_blank">shampoo bars</a>. I haven't use all the shampoo bars, but I used most of them. And, all the ones I have tried lathers really well, a little goes a long way, very soothing without irritating my scalp. But, with different shampoo bar, there are different effect and benefits. In this post, I am reviewing these 3 bars I just purchased. </div>

I love finding natural ways to care for my skin. I have sensitive skin that gets red easily, and I get occasional acne on my cheeks. There are a lot of chemical facial cleanser, and these cleansers can be really harmful to the skin. Many beauty DIY are very complicated, but this oatmeal cleanser is very simple, only takes one ingredient.</div>

Do you have the problem finishing your to-do list? Do you often find yourself working on one thing whole day but neglect other important things? I like to plan my day with to-do list. But, I used to have problems finishing them. I sometimes spend too much time doing one particular thing, and left myself no time for other things. Then I found out a method to help me get things done more effectively. In this post, I am sharing with you my secret to be more productive and efficient.</div>

The bath & body collection from Laura Mercier have came out for a while, but I have never get my hands on them since they are such luxurious products. But, I went shopping the other day and used my membership credits at the Laura Mercier counter. I decided it is a good chance to explore the bath & body collection. With all my membership credits, I only spent a little amount of money on these two products. And, I don't regret my decision. </div>

This summer, I have been hunting for bright and bold lip colors . And, now, I finally found my holly grail. I have always wanted to try the CLIO Lipnicure glass, and it didn't let me down. I first got the color coral, and soon after, I went and get the pink one as well. CLIO is a famous Korean drugstore makeup brand that makes a lot of colorful product. I am a fan of their gel pencil eyeliner. </div>

I am a hoarder for foundation and other kinds of base makeup. Creating a flawless canvas is my favorite part of applying makeup. I went a little shopping online with <a href="http://www.shopunt.com/eng/" target="_blank">UNT </a>a couple of weeks ago. <a href="http://www.shopunt.com/eng/" target="_blank">UNT </a>is a very well known brand in Taiwan mostly sells online. <a href="http://www.shopunt.com/eng/" target="_blank">UNT </a>is famous for their nail polishes, so I was skeptical of their makeup range at first. But, after reading some reviews on their BB cream, I decided to give it a try. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"> It is harder to eliminate wrinkles than to prevent fine lines. The best way to stay young is to start an anti-aging beauty regime before you really need it. And, for women, our skin and health condition starts to go downwards when we are at the age 25. So, I think it is the best time to start using product that can prevent aging. In this post, I'm introducing 3 skincare products I have been using to stay young.</span></span></div>

If you have read my earlier post about <a href="http://meilijourney.blogspot.tw/2015/06/my-new-erin-condren-life-planner-2015-2016.html" target="_blank">my new Erin Condren Life Planner</a>, you may know that I am very into planning and getting organized, now. After a couple of weeks of planning, I decided to get some supplies to help make planning more interesting, and help me organize things easier. I really like the idea of using stamps to decorate and organize. I love how stamps are reusable, and it doesn't add additional weight or thickness to the planner book.<br>

It's August, summer is already half way through. And, soon, it is time to go back to school. I put together some cute outfit for back to school. They are all very casual and comfortable, perfect for everyday wear. Although, I haven't been going to school for a while, these are how I would wear to class.<br>

I am very excited to make this announcement to you! I have been planning on opening a store on Etsy, and I finally did! The name of my store is "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MeiliPrintables?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Meili Printables</a>". If you have checked my "<a href="http://meilijourney.blogspot.tw/p/about-me_10.html" target="_blank">About Me</a>" page, you may know that "meili" means "beautiful" in Mandarin. So, the name of the store basically means "Beautiful Printables"! </div>

I have got a special post for you today. I am doing the "Love/Hate Tag", I was tagged by the sweet Nana from <a href="http://nicolenotebook.blogspot.tw/2015/07/love-hate-tag.html" target="_blank">Nicole's Notebook</a>. Don't forget to visit her blog as well. I rarely share personal things on my blog, so I think it is a great opportunity for us to know each other a little bit better. The rule is simple, just list 10 things you hate, 10 things you love, and tag 10 people. </div>

Summer is beautiful, but it is not so pretty when your makeup melts. I live in a very hot and humid country, so I need something that can really help my makeup stay put. The Porefessional from Benefit works great for this purpose.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Many
people suffer from the problem of body acne, mostly on the back. I used to
have really bad back acne, and it really bothers me. I can't wear beautiful
clothe with cut out design on the back, and I get very insecure to wear
swimsuit. I tried many different ways to cure my body acne, and now, my back
looks pretty much clear and smooth. There are still some white heads here and
there, but everything is going so well, now, I can wear clothes that shows off
my back. Here, I am going to share with you some tips on how I clear body acne,
and some great products I recommend.</span><br>

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you may already know that I am a believer of exfoliating. I think this is what makes the biggest difference in the skincare process. My favorite scrub of all time is Ocean Salt from Lush (yes, it's Lush again). I have repurchased this product multiple times, and I am here to tell you why I love this scrub so much. If you haven't try this yet, I hope this review can help you make a decision. </div>

I have been blogging for more than 6 months. There are a lot of resources that helped me learn along the way, from SEO tips, header design, to social media. In this post, I am sharing with you 5 of my favorite blogs that teaches you how to blog professionally. Some of these websites are also great for people who want to start their own business, become a writer or designer.</div>

I have tried many different kinds of makeup removers, wipe, cream, oil based, water based. But, I am not satisfied with any of them. I want something that can remove my makeup completely, without clogging my pores. Also, I want a product that is natural and fresh. My skin gets irritated easily, it often get red and get pimples. Finally, I found a cleansing oil DIY recipe, and I made one myself. It is life changing! </div>

When the season changes, it is good opportunity to have fun with different products. For summer, we can try brighter colors for makeup, use more light weight skincare products, and control oil and shine. In this post, I am sharing a few items that I love to use during summer.<br>

Coral is one of my favorite color. It is a color that looks like red, pink, orange, all in one. This bright and passionate color is perfect for a hot summer day. If you would like to try this bright color, please keep on reading, I have 3 style suggestions for you!</div>

Summer is officially here, the days are getting hotter and hotter in Taiwan. My favorite thing to do, right now, is to find a coffee shop and steal the air conditioning for the afternoon. It's very important to get hydrated in the Summer. If we are not drinking enough water, our lips can be too dry. And, if we stay in an air conditioning room for too long, our lips can also become dry. In this post, I'm introducing some light weight but hydrating lip balm for the hot weather. </div>

I recently found this amazing website called <a href="http://msb.franklincovey.com/" target="_blank">Mission Statement Builder by Franklin Covey</a>. Do you ever try to write down your mission statement or life goals, but there are so many things in your mind that you don't know where to start? Or, your mind is completely blank without any idea of what you want in your life? This website can help!<br>

I just got my very first <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/referral/invite/vanessadu0916" target="_blank">Erin Condren Life Planner</a>! I am so excited! I first learned about this planner from <a href="https://youtu.be/zBBn3R2dB8g" target="_blank">Elle Fowler's Planner 101 video</a>. Then I realized there is a huge planner community on the internet. I saw many posts and videos online about how people decorate and organize their Erin Condren Life Planner. I finally decided to get one myself. Before I start my first impression review, I am going to tell you the story of why I got this planner.</div>

It is a little awkward to talk about body order and armpits. But, I think everybody can relate to this topic since its summer. Perfume can only add good smell but it cannot cancel bad smell. What we really need is a deodorant. It is very important to use a deodorant when you go out, especially during summer when you will definitely sweat. We don't want to smell bad, and it could be very impolite to others as well. In this post, I am going to tell you what ingredient deodorant uses and how to choose a good one. </div>
