OUCH! So you’ve enjoyed the hot rays of the sun hopefully in a safe sunscreen-protected way but now looking down at your pink skin and dreading the pain that’s about to come.

Simone Perele, a French lingerie brand founded in 1948, recently launched their Caressence collection of bras, undies, and bodysuits... 

We’ve been talking about traveling tips lately since it is Summer and we’ve been focusing on the most important part of traveling – the TRAVEL KIT! Unlike clothing, shoes, or accessories which can easily be replaced when traveling (yay, shopping!) , its difficult to find your skincare needs especially if you’re in a foreign place. You’d be amazed at how next-to-impossible it is to find spray-on sunscreen or lotion that... 

The other day I wrote about the TOP 5 TRAVEL BEAUTY ESSENTIALS but after reminiscing about my 14-hour flight from LAX to Taipei, I realized the importance of having a separate travel kit just for long trips (flights or road trips).

WOO-HOO! Summer is officially here which means vacay here we come! Whether its just a weekend trip or a 10-day overseas vacation, there’s nothing more frustrating then packing your makeup kit since you’re always dreading of leaving something behind. As a seasoned traveler who once took a 3-month trip to Asia, I was not only panicking about how I could possibly fit all my makeup/skincare items into my makeup bag but more importantly, what... 

The other day I was walking along Manhattan beach enjoying the sun (and the random plastic turtle that washed ashore by my mint-green painted toes above). Then I got home and saw more dark spots on my nose and major sunburn on my shoulders – AAAAARRRRGGGGH! Just when I thought I put enough sunscreen on! Now that its officially summer, its time to make sure that everything you wear on your face and body has SPF. It’s not just sunscreen...
