Japan Trip : Kyoto 2

Helloooo, amigos! So as I mentioned my previous post, I am writing the 2nd oneee! Check out my previous Kyoto blog postKyoto city is one of the oldest cities in Japan. Have you heard of Maiko (/Geisha, perhaps)? Have you seen pictures of current Japanese traditional buildings? Probably, these are from Kyoto. It's a very gorgeous city. Of course, Summer and I joined Garfy and his friend to enjoy Kyoto as tourists too (∩´∀`)∩(∩´∀`)∩

We found many people crossing the river in Arashiyama, Kyoto... Can you see them? I don't know why they were doing it at all, but we crossed it tooooo (^0^)!!!
At night, there was one of the well-known Summer festivals in Japan: Daimonji Yaki / Gozan no Okuribi. If you click it, it will show you what Gozan no Okuribi is. We could see 3 letters out of 5 letters. (which is pretty awesome!!) Here is one of them although it's not the best photo. Kyoto is such a pretty place, right?

Japan Trip : Kyoto

Hellooo, amigos! The 1st place we went was Kyoto (*^U^*) I have soo many pictures. I visited so many places in Kyoto. I definitely have to break this post into at least 2 posts. Oh, how I wish I was a Youtuber, so I could just film it and tell you how beautiful Kyoto is quickly and realistically. The first place we visited in Kyoto was ... (I always always wanted to come to this place and WE DID!!)
Can you find a ninja? Oh no, it's too fast. You might not be able to see him.
I really love Samurai, Ninja, ... Japanese traditional / historical stuff! I was super happy to visit Toei Kyoto Studio Park, obviously. It is like... Universal Studio. People still use this studio to film some movies. There are few fun attractions as well. If you are into Samurai movies, you should come here! Even if you are not into them, you should!! You can experience FUN STUFF!!
What a day! I have so many more pictures that I would like to share with you, but.. I think I shared more then enough. haha Sorry for this heavy post. We could watch a play that taught us how to film Samurai movie. I grow up with watching Samurai TV shows when other girls were watching girly girly kids shows. This is why it was Cool. Super cool. ('U')

Then, we came back to Kyoto and had a fuuuun.
talk to you sooooon!

Japan Trip

Hellooo, amigos!!
Garfy and I just came back from our Japan trip! I was gonna blog about our days in Japan everyday, but ... we were extremely busy and my mom's internet was broken, so I couldn't even have a time to sit down and blog. Bummer (T^T) Everyday was just super busy and sooo much fun ☆ because many people supported our trip. Special thanks to my family, Summer, and her family.

Our flight arrived Narita International Airport about an hour earlier that it planned. As soon as we got off the airplane, my skin started feeling moist and my body started getting lots of heat. HOT HOT HOT!! HUMID HUMID HUMID!! I couldn't believe myself saying how cold our apartment was in Oregon. Plus, both of us couldn't sleep on the airplane because of fun movies although we tried, tried, and tried so hard to sleep on the airplane. Look at our tired faces.. We couldn't even open our eyes all the way. haha Anyway,
Hello, Japan!
Konnichiwa from Japan to you all!
I'm gonna write more about our Japan trip
so
talk to you soon

Yogurt mask

Hellooo, amigos!!
So, finally, I did something that I had been super curious of: A Yogurt Mask. Ever since I read a comic book which talks about a yogurt mask (I was 6 years old), I really wanted to do it. BUT it was so hard for me to do because yogurt is my favorite food! I'd rather eat yogurt than waste it. I was a child. Now, I care about my skin care as much as what I eat.
Tadaaa!!!
 It's very easy! At first, you need to wash your face well. I do not like my black heads, so I took a quick bath to open the pore before I wash my face.

  1. Pick a yogurt that you like (I used Greek Yogurt from Trader Joe's)
  2. Scoop yogurt as much as you want
  3. Put it on your face (it's cold and feels very very good!)
  4. Rub it into your face a little bit
  5. Let it sit on your face for 5 minutes
  6. Wash it off or wipe it off with soft towels
 After that, you can do your daily skin care. I recommend you to refrigerate the yogurt (it feels very very good and cold, so that it might help your pore to close.)
I sadly have some pimples right now. I didn't want to cause any damage on my face by using some random chemical facial masks. Yogurt is something we eat, so we know what we are putting on our important face.
I think my skin got very very smooth and soft after this mask. Yogurt mask didn't make my pimples hurt or itchy at all. I was a little bit scared to do the yogurt mask, so I did it on Garfy's face as well. He felt weird about putting food, yogurt, on his face, but he liked how yogurt cooled off his face and made his face really smooth. He has a sensitive skin and a yogurt mask didn't case anything bad on his face (^^) yay

If you are interested or curious about a yogurt mask,
try it!
enjoy it!
have a lot of fun with it!
