A Perfect World (I Wish)

Lately the only thing that keeps a smile on my face is the Origins "A Perfect World" Moisturizer. I discovered it in Pasadena when I went with my friend Vani. She wanted to buy face scrub and my insatiable appetite for beauty products led me to the counter. Needless to say, I ended up spending $50 that day, but it was well worth it.

I am almost running out of my little bottle of heaven. Right now they're selling them at Macy's or Origins.com with extra gifts included. Amazing!

I'm just trying to keep my face looking young so that I can stay away from botox until I am at least 33!

I have been told by my dermatologist (and many magazines) that the key to this is SUNSCREEN. YES LADIES, EVEN WHEN IT IS CLOUDY OUTSIDE wear it! If there are clouds there are more rays reflecting off of the water inside of them.

When I was a young girl I was plagued by blotchy skin and a mountain (literally) of acne. In fact, my face looked like the Andes mountains. 'Twas not a lovely experience. In fact, I spent most of high school dreading pictures and finding foundation. I have since discovered that MAC is not good for your skin because it was originally formulated to be STAGE MAKE-UP. Sure, the cover-up is great, but your skin suffers. I am one of those people that prefers clear skin with no product (except the necessities).

If you want to do MAC Studio Fix make sure it is for a special occasion. Although, the powder is pretty good. In fact, I have a friend who swears by it. As always, skin products will react to people's skin differently.

If you are acne prone, like I am, stay away from Studio Fix unless you're going on a super hot date or plan on taking lots of pictures.

But if you want something that's for the silver carpet (the sidewalk). I would go for make-up forever!... :)

Just make sure they match your skin color correctly. The bimbo that sold me mine made me a shade too light and now I look like a ZOMBIE!! I guess that's good for Halloween.

DAILY SKIN REGIMEN (Courtesy of Moi)


My skin type: Oily on the forehead and sometimes cheeks. Definitely nose. Dry on the chin and lips (or normal if I do not use acne products). I would call this combination.


Face Wash - Origins Checks and Balances
Toner (Must Use!) - Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner (HOWEVER, I'm considering looking into Clinique)
Moisturizer - This one should be obvious A PERFECT WORLD!
Sunscreen - OUT SMART by Origins (my only issue with it is it is hella expensive - face sunscreens make you break out less though)

Every week I also use a scrubber - MODERN FRICTION by Origins.

I am an Origins junkie. I admit it!

Although, my skin is acne free because I take Solodyn. It saved my life. Go get a dermatologist if your skin makes you cry at night. I still get a few here and there. Sometimes my skin is red and splotchy, but there are no more mountains on my face and I am grateful.

Law school has me on my toes. Yesterday was the initiation for my fraternity. I am rather excited about it.

I have a paper due and it is worth 20% of my grade, so I better work on it. The first one went okay.... but I would have preferred the highest grade in class. Maybe law school is harder than I thought. I spend 8 hours on that paper. Now I will have to spend 2 days on this new one.

I really do enjoy law school and when I get called on in class, I'm not completely clueless anymore.

Example:

Professor Blue Truck:"Ms. Moi, what is an option contract?"

Moi: Did he....just call on me...oh my god....what do I do?! "Uhm, it is a promise to extend an offer for a period of time....and when there's consideration it can not be.....revoked...." Did I just say that? Yay!

Professor Blue Truck: "Yes, and Mr. New-person-to-scare-the-hell- out- of... what is....blah blah blah"

I mostly discuss Contracts because it is my favorite class. Although, Property is exciting because the professor is really cool. He also explains things really well and it is the only class I ever ask questions in because he doesn't scare me.

My Property professor is also blessed with attraction, so it is always nice to look at beautiful people and see them doing something productive. Beauty is man's greatest seducer.... :)

He's almost as pretty as my colorful pens --> I color code all my work.

Plus, if I ever want to give someone a house or necklace...or something important...now I know how to write it down so that I can get it back...or make sure I don't end up like Michael Jackson. I would want my stuff to actually go to the people I designated it for....

In a perfect world.... I would be a dermatologist. I freaked out at the beginning of my Senior year of college and didn't know what I wanted to do. Little by little, I got into law thanks to some classes I was taking and applied to law school. I do like law school, but sometimes I get this inkling feeling in my heart.....

I guess we'll see where life takes me. I am content with my decision because now skin care can remain a hobby... :)
