Why do I blog?

I have been asked this question so many times and I admit using a generic answer when people ask me this question. 
Yes I am overly pouting! bleh! haha!



There can be a lot of things I can say to you why I blog on a daily basis. But there is one thing I would like to achieve – is to be recognized. I want to be recognized with what I do and I want to know if I am that credible for being a blogger. 

blogging was basically refreshing my mind all over again. It was hard at first honestly but was able to get over the awkwardness for some time. There was an awkward phase when I was blogging since I don’t really know if people read my articles. But the longer I get to open myself here, and to also share my thoughts to you, the more I feel that I belong to the blogosphere.

during our thesis...I usually look like this when I really need to go..drink some water!
Beauty blogging is like any other industry there is out there. You have to start from somewhere to get where you want to be. I am only starting in my field, so I don’t know if I am able to make it in the scene. Beauty blogging is a lot of work that is one thing. I spend 8 to 10 hours during the weekend surfing the internet to get information to inspire me to make my blogs. I actually make my articles in advance.  It’s harder than teaching students English as a second language I can tell you that!  :D

wow serious! LOL


Being a beauty blogger requires a lot of hard work, effort and research. If you don’t have the right cards you won’t make it. Not all bloggers get the chance to be sent free items to test out. I honestly have not experience that. And also all reviews made by a beauty blogger are based on their experiences, what happened for them may not work for you. I just have this thought that a lot of girls out there blog for the wrong reasons. As I said to my other article about product reviews is that I really try out the product and give them my honest review. I purchase them with my own money and all comments are as real as the mole in my left arm…sorry going off topic now...

But in reality, we have to pull our resources together to get a good article for our readers. And also it doesn’t matter if you get paid or not in doing beauty related articles, what matters is we get to share our knowledge to others wherever they are in the world.

Much Love!

This post made me ask the same question to myself. I have to take a retreat to find the answer. :)

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
