Face Masks from Ebay

A while ago I had ordered a big package of face masks from ebay. The face masks my friend got me from Korea were used up very quickly so I decided to get the biggest bundle I could find. This package included 36 face masks that are made up of 16 different types. The package also included some charcoal nose cleansing strip packs and a black charcoal chin pack. I paid $21.69 in total. Shipping as usual, takes a long time but it was around 3 weeks, I believe. One surprise is that it also came with a small pack of toner and lotion. It was a very thick package and the face masks were split into four.

To be honest, they all seem about the same to me. They mostly even smell the same. The masks themselves don't fit my face very well. The hole for the eyes are oddly shaped and I usually make them large so the serum doesn't get into my eyes. However, I will say all the masks leave me skin feeling very nice. I tend to put them on and take a nap. My skin feels so moisturized and fresh afterwards. I would definitely buy this whole pack again but I need to get through all of the ones I have first!

In the heart of Times Square

In September, I went on a family trip to New York City just for the weekend. The good thing about these family trips is I never have to drive. We headed there Friday. Stopped by New Jersey to catch up with some family that we don't get to see to often. They brought us to the Garden State plaza mall which is where I finally got to try the Max Brenner chocolate bar/cafe. I love that place by the way. I need to schedule a date to the one in Bethesda with some friends. Afterwards we made our way to New York.

We knew our hotel was near Times Square, but sadly our GPS led us right through Times Square. Now that was a very irritating drive. After we checked in, my parents went out to dinner while my brother and I walked around Times Square. Anyway, my brother is ten and he was highly amused by all the characters in the city. There were also lots of half naked women, which made him laugh and he referred to them as the "naked butt cheek ladies."

For Saturday, we had brunch at this place called Cafe Un Deux Trois. The food was really delicious and came with chardonnay. My stepdad didn't want his drink so I happily had two glasses first thing in the morning. Later, we watched the matinee showing of the Lion King Broadway. It was amazing and the sound track is amazing. I recommend seeing it. Afterwards, we went to the nintendo store where I bought some plushies. I just could not resist buying such cute plushies. Although, most people may not think my Tingle plushie is cute. We also stopped by the NBC store.

We went to mass at St. Patrick's cathedral, which is where the pope would be doing his visit the week after. Then we went to this ramen place called Ippudo. The food was really good and surprisingly not far from our hotel. We just walked back to the hotel from there but not after spending a shit ton of money on star wars merch at the huge Toys R Us in Times Square. Sorry, just had to have that new Kylo Ren lightsaber.

The next day we had some delicious waffles from this place called Wafels & Dinges in Bryant Park. Then we got some take out for lunch at the sushi place down the street called Wasabi. Then we were back home. Definitely a short stay and hoping to go back already. There are still so many food places to be visited!
