Go Bananas!

Here is another random food/magazine post :p sorry, I just like to share random
things I have an interest in... don't know why I'm saying sorry lol :p

The classic iced tea would be great for picnics and barbeques! yum :)

and does this not look delicious!? Check out Food Network's Healthy
Foil Packet Recipes for the Grill HERE :) they have some good ideas.

Are you a fan of red skin potatoes? I am :) especially when they
are roasted with garlic, salt and pepper :) yummy :) drooling yet?
and of course a somewhat healthy dessert for all ages :) you can't really see
the text so I'll explain how you would do this :)

HOW TO MAKE FROZEN BANANAS!
☆ Microwave 4 ounces of chopped chocolate until melted
☆ Stir in 2 tsp. of vegetable oil (let it cool slightly)
☆ Trim 1 end of 6 peeled bananas
☆ Skewer and dip in the chocolate
☆ Prop up in a glass and freeze for 2 minutes
☆ Roll in/on the toppings and freeze for 4 hours

What would you add on yours?
I would add muesli, dried strawberries, and crushed walnuts :p
and for the type of chocolate... maybe a semi-sweet type... I don't
know much about chocolate, but nothing too sweet :) I'm going to
try to make this and maybe post about it sometime ;)

Current favourite Korean song :)

Current favourite cleanser+toner

Earlier this month, I attended the America's Next Top Model Live show in Toronto.
There was a booth next to where I was working selling products from Arbonne, a Swiss
based skincare company. I received some samples and the one thing that stood out the
most for me was their FC5 range Purifying Cleanser+Toner for oily/combo skin.

When I first used this cleanser, I noticed a difference immediately. It has been the only
cleanser so far that has removed some of my blackheads, quite effectively. Of course, I
still get blackheads after the next day etc. but it helped to clear my skin/pores better than
any other I have tried thus far in my life :p

I'm sorry for the slightly blurry photos, my camera won't focus properly for some reason...
I will have to figure it out =\ but I've been thinking of selling my current DSLR for the
Canon G12... I haven't officially decided yet (if it would be smart >>).

I decided to order the full size :) it ranges from $24-28 and is quite a decent size, which
should last for more than 4 months. You only need to use a small amount.

I had this very stubborn blackhead on my nose about a week ago. I was still using up
a sample. After 2 days of using the cleanser, the area where the blackhead was, cleared
up and I was very relieved :p You can check out their website HERE (their FC5 range).
They also have their main line of products, directed more towards anti-aging and a good
range of makeup, fragrances, body care :)

I've noticed that my skin has been very dehydrated, especially at night. This cleanser
doesn't really help with moisture, but I always use a night time moisturizer to keep my
skin hydrated. I wish the cleanser/toner was more hydrating after washing it off. It doesn't
really leave my skin feeling tight or anything, just not enough hydrated.

I don't find the need to use a separate toner after this, my skin looks pretty good :)

The formulas are developed in Switzerland, but are made in the United States.

The inner packaging of the box is lovely too :)

Where is my ticket to Hawaii!?

Base: Sally Hansen Green Tea & Olive base coat
Colour: Priti Polish 'September Charm'
Design: Konad image plate M57 (one of the flowers)
Top: Konad Top Coat

This flower/design reminded me of Hawaii :p
I visited Hawaii with my family when I was 12 and I wouldn't mind going again :)
I added a small green leaf next to the flowers today... I thought they were missing
something, but I'll probably do a similar design in the future. I'm thinking of doing
designs inspired by magazine editorials. I think that would be interesting and will
hopefully encourage me to be more creative :p

I'm also loving this skirt from Style Nanda :)
