The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. -Psalm 34:15-22 (NIV)

1. I discovered Smit Farms apple cider at the Irvine Farmers Market last weekend. While I'd like to pick up fresh produce at the farmers market every two weeks, it takes diligence and determination to drive 20 minutes south for fruits and vegetables. I happen to be a lazy bum. Hah.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio won the SAG award for Best Actor, which means he will most likely win the Oscar. Dear Academy, please don't disappoint us by giving the Oscar to another actor. Thanks, The People.
3 "Spotlight" won the SAG award for Best Ensemble in a Film. YESSSSSSSSSSS! Yay for journalism done right and their awesome acceptance speeches! Click Here to read the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative article.
4. Grease: Live. More specifically, Aaron Tveit as Danny Zuko. Aaron's portrayal of Danny Zuko was very James Dean-like (his blond hair and blue eyes) + he was super muscular, clean-cut, tall, sweet, hot...you get my point. Here's a clip from the show. Remember my post about Aaron years ago before his mainstream fame? Click Here to reminisce. Aaron's portrayal of Danny Zuko was much like Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Peter Parker - different, but great in its own right. Remember thinking for the first time EVER how hipster hot Peter Parker was? Click Here to appreciate the new kind of cool.
5. I finally watched "Mr. Robot" in just a few days. This is what often happens when you like television more than people. Just kidding. Click Here to watch an extended sneak peek of the show. It's an intriguing show and the first one I haven't ruined by looking it up on Wikipedia. Can't wait until the next season!

Those were the days hard work forever pays now I see you in a better place

My 10-Step Skincare Routine.
It doesn't really matter how many steps you have in your skincare routine - you could have as little as four steps, as long as it works for you. This is what works for me. *Click on products for links.
Step 1. Remove eye makeup. I use Philosophy Just Release Me Eye Makeup Remover or Japanese makeup remover wipes from Daiso on lazy days.
Step 2. Remove makeup with an oil-based cleanser on dry skin. I use The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil. This cleansing oil seriously gets the job done and it smells really nice.
Step 3. Wash your face with a water-based cleanser. I use Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser. I love this cleanser so much. I also use use Fresh Soy Face Cleanser, but I ran out of that a few weeks ago. Yup, I double-cleanse - it's a very effective way to wash your face. Try it!
Step 4. Exfoliate your skin (1-2 times a week). I use Skin Food Black Sugar Mask Wash Off (works well without being abrasive) or my Clarisonic Mia (usually with any sample cleanser I have in the bathroom).
Step 5. Apply toner. I use Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner. I'm trying the Lavender one right now and it's also really great.
Step 5. Apply a sheet mask for 15-20 minutes (twice a week). I refrigerate my sheet masks because it cools my face while hydrating it at the same time. I like to keep sheet masks in stock - running out of them would be a nightmare. Try Skinfood Hydro Fitting Snail Mask Sheet.
Step 6. Apply eye cream. I use Fresh Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream.
Step 7. Apply moisturizer generously. I use Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb.
Step 8. Apply face serum or essence. I'm not committed to any one face serum, but I'm using Ora's Amazing Herbal Advanced Nightly Skin Repair right now.
Step 9. Apply facial mist for extra moisture. I use Heritage Store Rose Petals Rosewater.
Step 10. Apply lip balm. I use Glossier Balm Dotcom. Your lips need some love too!

Latest obsessions.
1. Game of Thrones. I finally started watching Game of Thrones a month or so ago and it quickly became one of my favorite shows. Dragons, epic battles, castles, mythological blue-eyed creatures - what's not to love? This show was made for people like me. And, of course there's Jon Snow - bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark and Lord Commander of the Night's Watch - I love him. #youknownothingjonsnow #winteriscoming
2. My Nike shoes. I got a pair on sale when I was visiting my brother in Florida last year. We locked eyes and I knew it was meant to be. #nikeforever
3. Barefoot Contessa. I got pretty sick over the holidays, so my Christmas weekend was spent indoors, binge-watching Ina Garten's show "Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics" on Netflix and not much else. She is the queen of everything.
4. Lip tint. I'm sort of obsessed with lip tint right now - so is Jessica Alba. I have three lip tints from innisfree, hand-delivered to me from Korea! Thank you to my wonderful friends who love me. #hearts When you visit Korea, stock up on skincare and makeup products - it's the smart thing to do.
5. Redbox. Yes, there are still people who rent movies from Redbox kiosks inside of grocery stores and I am one of them. It is a weekly ritual for me to drive to Ralph's on my way home to pick up a movie and sometimes popcorn. Movie. Check. Popcorn. Check. Dog sitting next to me on couch. Check. A perfect night in!
