- - Monthly Empties | May 2020 - -

 
Happy Sunday! 😊

With the fresh start of a new month just around the corner, this seems like a great time to try something new! For the month of June I plan to publish posts on Sundays as well - I have just enough ideas to carry me through to the end of the month. 

It's an ambitious plan and life may get in the way, but we'll see how it goes!

A Monthly Empties post seems like an appropriate way to close off the current month. This series of posts is an opportunity for me to briefly review the products that I used up during a given month. In May, these are the products that I finished using:

- - Inkbox | "Yu Yi" Tattoo Review - -


Just between you and me (and my mom who's probably reading this - hi mom!), I have always wanted a tattoo. I find tattoos fascinating and I admire people who are brave enough to get them. For me, I think the reason why I haven't gotten a tattoo is because there is nothing that has so much significance for me right now that I would permanently want it on my body. That and my parents would probably disown me.

Luckily, there is a less scary, semi-permanent way to "try out" a tattoo!

- - Oceane | White Pearl Facial Peeling Gel - -

Happy Tuesday!

I haven't written anything about skincare in a while so I figured a good place to start would be with a product that helped improve my skin during this quarantine. I'm pretty diligent when it comes to face scrubs - I make sure to use one at least once a week. However, I typically prefer to use a stronger, gritty scrub rather than a peeling gel.

Why? Well, it's mostly because I had a horror story with a peeling gel once. 😅

- - Hasbro | Monopoly for Millennials Review - -


One of the board games I was able to convince my family to play during the quarantine was Hasbro's Monopoly for Millennials. This game came out late 2018, and although I'm not a board game (or Monopoly) collector, I loved the light-hearted jabs at millennials (I'm a millennial myself), so I went ahead and purchased the game. Yes, take my money, Hasbro!

- - Fujifilm | Instax Mini Film Review : Chinese Festival - -


Sometimes when you spend long enough flipping through the pages of AliExpress you can find some really unique items. That's what happened to me one day when I stumbled across an Instax mini film that I had never seen before. The film above was such a rare find that last year when I purchased it there was only one seller selling it. As of right now, I see three sellers (one, two, three) with this film on AliExpress.

I can't find an official name for this film pack anywhere, but one of the sellers I linked above refers to this film as "Chinese Festival" so I figure that's what I will call it too.

- - Fujifilm | Instax Mini Film Review : Black - -


Happy Friday!

For the next few posts I will be focusing on more Instax mini film reviews. These will be relatively short posts (or at least that's the plan) in which I will share a few photos that I have taken over the past couple of years with different kinds of Instax Mini Film. All the Instax photos in these posts have been taken with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 camera.

Today, I wanted to take a look at the Black Instax Mini Film.

- - Fujifilm | Instax Mini Film Review: Bloom (Urban Outfitters) - -


Hello again!

I hope that all of you are safe, healthy, and keeping busy during this crazy time.

The first half of the year was really busy for me and, even though Toronto has been under quarantine since mid-March, it's only now that I am finding some free time to turn my focus back to this blog. I have a few post ideas in mind so hopefully I can see those through in the coming weeks!

Today I wanted to make a quick post to show you one of my favourite Instax Mini Films - Bloom!

Take a look after the break below:
