Super Skincare & Get Super Perricone

Super Skincare & Get Super Perricone... Have you checked out the Super Skincare line by Dr. Nicholas Perricone? Basically the website says it in one sentence, "the antioxidants found in the world's most powerful Superfoods are combined with time-tested, patented technology for an innovative new line of preventative, protective and therapeutic skin care." Doesn't it sound great!?!? I hear it all the time that antioxidants are good for you to prevent future health problems, as well as, protect. For example, you get antioxidants from blueberries and it's suppose to neutralize the free radicals (unstable molecules linked to development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other age-related conditions). Not only do you get antioxidants from food, it now comes in your skincare line!

For example,

the Crinkle Eraser contains red algae. The "ocean's richest source of minerals that helps maintain skin's elasticity" (taken from the website).

A wonderful PR is willing to give one of my readers a chance to win one product from the Super Skincare line from Dr. Perricone. How nice of them! :)

Perricone MD Cold Plasma Winner

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! Couple of weekends ago, my family and I went to Vegas to see my niece's Tae Kwon Do competition. I'm so proud of her she came in silver for form and bronze for the fighting. :) After coming back, it took a week to rejuvenate... lol~ :X

If you noticed, I changed my layout. I was tired of the old... hehe~ I hope you like the new layout as much as I do! :)

Anyways, now for the winner *drum roll*....

Twelve people entered the giveaway and the random generator choose #4.

The winner is libbeh (heart). I couldn't put the heart in the Excel sheet, therefore, I took it out... hehe~

Congrats and you have 48 hours to contact me with your e-mail address and home address. E-mail me at aly_4realz (at) hotmail (dot) com. If you don't contact me within 48 hours, I will draw a new winner.

Thank you Perricone MD for sponsoring this giveaway! I really appreciate it!!! :)

This is a simple recipe, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to post... hehe~ I hope you like it as much as I love this simple dish!... wheee~ :)


If you need some guidance with the ingredients, you can check my Korean Cooking 101. ;)


Ingredients:
1 bag king mushroom
olive oil or any cooking oil
chopped garlic
noodle soup base or soy sauce
garlic salt
black pepper


Step 1:

Here's a picture of a king mushroom just in case you don't know it... hehe~ After you wash it, cut it into smaller pieces.

In a frying pan, put some cooking oil (I used olive oil) and chopped garlic. After the pan gets hot, I add the cut mushroom. Cook it for some time, I would say 5-10 minutes depending on the heat of the stove.

Once the mushroom is done, I add the seasoning. I add some noodle soup base (I don't like my mushroom dark) or you can add soy sauce. If you do add soy sauce, know that your mushroom will get dark... hehe~ Then I add garlic salt and black pepper to my taste.

You can eat with rice and kim-chi... wheee~ :) By the way, there's other ways to make use with this mushroom.




I'm going to end with a Korean ice cream that I recently bought from the Korean market. I just couldn't refuse posting this cute ice cream!... hehe~

It's a watermelon flavor ice cream.

How cute is that!?!? It's in a shape of a slice of watermelon!!! I get excited over simple things... hehe~ :)

rasilla

Congrats rasilla and you have 48 hours to contact me with your e-mail address and home address. E-mail me at aly_4realz (at) hotmail (dot) com. If you don't contact me within 48 hours, I will draw a new winner.

For the people who didn't win, thank you for entering! I will have a giveaway when I reach 250 followers. I wanted to do a giveaway when I reached 200, but I was too lazy to get things for the giveaway... lol~ :X I will do one when I reach 250. It also gives me time to pick things up... hehe~ :D

This past week I picked up some nail polishes. It seems like I'm really into nail polishes, but I wasn't until last year *sigh*... lol~ :X Anyways, now for my haul... hehe~

I had to renew my Sally's Beauty membership last month (click here to read about the membership and the deals at Sally's Beauty). The membership is $5 but you get a $5 coupon for the following month to use on anything at Sally's Beauty. So basically, the membership is free... hehe~

I'm not a big fan of China Glaze nail polishes. I think they don't last long on me, therefore, I haven't really been big into them. Since I had $5 to spend, I decided to get this color from China Glaze. By the way, they have a $1 coupon off any China Glaze nail polishes this month... hehe~ ;) I've been wanting this color for months. It's a very unique color, as well as, my favorite color (I love blue of any colors especially blue-ish purple). I have always loved periwinkle since high school! :X I had to get this. This is #683 Secret Peri-wink-le. The color is love!!! :)

If you want to see the swatches of my collection of China Glazes, click here to see it.

I also visited CVS this past week to pick up some nail polishes from Milani's new line, 3D Holographic.

This one is #511 H-Tech. It's such a gorgeous light green color!

This is #512 Cyberspace. It's a gorgeous light blue! I am very happy with these two colors... wheee~ I can't wait to wear these during the spring/summer weather. I don't think it fits for winter weather... hehe~

Speaking of Milani nail polishes, I picked two out this past year that I never posted about. My bad!!! :X I debated to post these or not since they don't carry these nail polishes anymore. If they do carry them, I haven't seen them... hehe~ :/

This is #132 Fairy Tale. It's a black nail polish with light blue glitters.

It's such a hot color!... wheee~

This one is #133 Whimsical. It's a black nail polish with purple glitters.

These colors are perfect during these winter months... wheee~ :)

I also want to post a picture of the OPI nail polish from their Alice in Wonderland collection in Mad as a Hatter (click here to read my haul and swatch).

It has such beautiful, colorful glitters... wheee~ It looks nice on the nails. You definitely need base and top coat for it not to chip off. ;)

I'm going to end this post which my freebie from Victoria's Secret. If you sign up for Pink Nation (click here for the link), once in awhile they have a print out for you to take and get something for free... wheee~ It's not too late to get this... hehe~ ;)

It's from their new line of fragrance called Life is Pink. It's such a cute packaging. It's a book of fragrance... hehe~

When you open to the first page, you have the blue fragrance "Hope Pink."

The second page is "Wish Pink."

The last page is "Live Pink." It's such a cute book! :)
