Colorful Vegetables Steamed Rice

Yes! I finally got a chance to translate it!

I used plenty of colorful vegetable chunks for this steamed rice. I browned the meat and vegetables before I cook in the rice cooker, which makes the rice more tasty ;)

Recently, I realized my liquid-type foundation causes acne. I should better use powder-type foundation... Helena Rubinstein has great coverage but I should stop using it X( Also, I need to moisturize my skin even more since the air is getting dry.

See you next week!

DEAN & DELUCA

The image is the lunch I had one day with my boyfriend at DEAN & DELUCA near home. A little bit expensive but they serve nice light-taste dishes, so we go there once in a while. What we've got on this day was: grilled vegetables salad, crab meat and asparagus sandwich, and jambalaya. Another day we had cabbage and shrimp panini, which was really simple and delicious. Their "Super Premium Ice Cream" is great, too! I will post about it when we get a chance to have it ;)

The weather today is super fine with the blue sky! I wish I could go out for dinner tonight, but my boyfriend said he is busy... will see...

Anyway, I have hula class tonight. I can't believe how fast the week is going! I braided my hair to create a wavy hair again!

Aloha ;D

KAO Prettia Bubble Hair Coloring: Natural Ash

Prettia Bubble Hair Coloring is my favorite hair coloring product! Yesterday I found that jose uses the same product to dye her hair! I use Natural Ash :D

Amazingly, one box is enough to dye my long hair! It uses foam, so it evenly blends into hair quickly. Non messy application :) It contains the extracts of Amino and Royal Jelly to minimize the dyeing damage and restore the hair, which is wonderful!

Since there is such a great product, I don't go to the hair salon to dye my hair for a long time! Anyway, check my hair color on my previous posts ;)

How do you dye your hair?!
