Better Skin Challenge
I just made this up so bear with me. I'm attempting to give myself better skin by taking special care of it. I'm at an age where I only get blemishes once a month but the past few weeks have been a lot worse than ever before. I was reading/watching some stuff about taking care of your skin and set a challenge for myself. Since I wash my face more thoroughly at night and just rinse with water and maybe a light cleanser in the morning, the format will be a little different.
(will be updating this whenever I remember and resetting the post date as day of. But it is officially posted for the first time on August 25, 2016)
Below is a list of products I used in order of appearance:
-The Body Shop: Seaweed Pore Cleansing Facial Exfoliator (combination skin)
-First Aid Beauty: Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser with Red Clay (for sensitive skin)
-The Body Shop: Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. Alcohol-free (for all skin types)
-Equate Beauty: All-Day Moisturizing Lotion (non greasy)
-Fresh: Soy Face Cleanser
-First Aid Beauty: Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum (for sensitive skin)
-First Aid Beauty: Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration
Night 1 8/24: Exfoliate with Body Shop Seaweed, wash with First Aid Beauty Red Clay, Body Shop Toner, and Equate Beauty moisturizer. - Washed hair
Day 1 of Results 8/25: Wash with Fresh Soy cleanser in the morning. Woke up in the morning with a hot lump on my cheek - the one where you know a pimple will form. Instead of waiting three days for the pimple to form, the white ripeness appeared in the afternoon and I popped it right away. Just a quick squeeze to get the white stuff out and that's it. Swollen went down by night time but is still a bit red. Also the chin blemishes I've had for the last two weeks seem to be laying flat and just healing over.
Night 2 8/25: Exfoliate with seaweed, wash with red clay, toner, First Aid Beauty Serum, moisturizer, and First Aid Beauty Repair Cream on spots
Day 2 of Results 8/26: Morning wash with soy cleanser. My cheek pimple went down completely, you can still feel the small dry skin bump from where the skin broke the day before. It's just a tiny red dot and I'm hopeful it'll be gone tomorrow. Face feels nicer, I've been working on touching my face less which I think I'm starting to control better.
(Writing this stuff up on 8/29)
Night 3 8/26: Seaweed exfoliant, red clay wash, toner, serum, moisturizer, repair cream. I kinda squeezed out a few of the black and whiteheads on my nose and chin. One of the bigger nose ones started bleeding (oops). Splashed some water on it and it stopped; I'm sure the repair cream will work wonders for that. Skin definitely looking better - although it might be my positive thoughts.
Day 3 of Results 8/27: Don't really remember but I did put some eyeliner and mascara on and it didn't look terrible because my skin had cleared up so much just after a few days of this experiment.
Night 4 8/27: Seaweed exfoliant, red clay wash, toner, repair cream. I was too tired after a going to the mall with my friend today so I didn't do the usual routine.
Day 4 of Results 8/28: Ate some yummy brunch today, I'm pretty sure it will end up in my face in the upcoming days but we can hope it won't. But face feels great!
Night 5 8/28: Seaweed, red clay, toner, serum, moisturizer, rose face mask I got from my mom, and washed my hair! After all the greasy food (also had sukiyaki for dinner) from the day, it was super nice to wash everything clean.
Day 5 of Results 8/29: I know I'm not supposed to touch my face but I couldn't help it today, my face feels so smooth and perfect! Although pretty late into the afternoon, I started to feel a hard lump in my chin (probably will become a pimple and ready to pop in the next two days.) I'm really annoyed that I keep getting blemishes on my chin. So often that it's kinda permanently red from all the squeezing I've done.
Night 6 8/29:
Day 6 of Results 8/30: I could not stop touching/patting my face all day at work today. I know you're not supposed to touch your face (maybe that's why people wear makeup!) because oils and germs but I can't help it. My face skin feels so smooth and soft. It's amazing! Oh yeah, chin thing is gone. It was like one of those whitehead like things that you can pull right out of the pore. I did that and now it's fine.
Night 7 8/30: Seaweed, red clay, toner,
I'm getting tired of writing these things every day. I'll probably just add stuff when something interesting happens.
Thoughts:
-Reason for doing this: I never paid attention to skin care (nor anything care) instructions until recently. I've been watching and reading a lot of beauty/lifestyle videos and blogs so I've been wanting to get more into it.
Products:
-The Body Shop: Seaweed Exfoliator
Bought this with my mom during The Body Shop's buy 3 get 3 (or something like that) sale. The things in it are a little rough so maybe don't try it on your whole face if you're a bit more sensitive until you find out if it's okay for you. I personally like the feeling; and it smells great!
-First Aid Beauty: Cleanser with Red Clay
Got this in my July Sephora Play box. And I have to say, I am absolutely in love with it! It is a gel consistency and has a weird smell that I'm not a fan of. But I have a really oily t-zone and after using it, the t-zone feels as smooth and non-oily as my cheeks do!
-The Body Shop: Toner
The bottle is pink and my mom swears by it (she gave me half a bottle to use). I still don't know what toner is but I'll use it like a good girl.
-Equate Beauty: Moisturizing Lotion- I believe this is a walmart brand
I actually thought the brand was "All Day" until I wrote this post. A bit embarrassing to say but I've had this same bottle for a few years. I needed one at the time so I went to get it at wal-mart. I chose it because it smells a bit like my mom/her bed back when I was little and would crawl into bed with her at night. It's exactly how her pillow used to smell. Not sure how it smells now but this moisturizer is such a great smell to me. It's 6 oz so it's taking me quite a long time to use.
-First Aid Beauty: Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum (for sensitive skin)
Received this on 8/25 in the First Aid Beauty free trial. No opinions yet. Not sure what a serum is for though
-First Aid Beauty: Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration
Received this on 8/25 in the First Aid Beauty free trial. No opinions yet. Apparently this magical lotion/cream is supposed to heal you really fast. Looking forward to that!

Next Chapter, Here I Come
Friday, October 16, 2015
It took me two weeks (well kinda one) to find an amazing job. All it took was a little push from my sister to tell me to get out of the house. On Monday. I sent a bunch of applications out. On Tuesday, I fiddled around with my hair color and got two calls for interviews the next day. On Wednesday, I had two successful interviews. I signed the paperwork for one and asked to come back for the second the next day. So I went back on Thursday. I ended up not choosing that job because it was a job driving from house to house selling things plus it was really far from my city and in rush hour traffic. (But I did get an offer.) I also got an email for a Friday interview that day.
On Friday, I get a call at 9:30 to tell me I start Monday for the first job. I'm super excited and bouncing off the walls. Until I get to the interview. The third job is amazing, exciting, and creative! I debated all weekend between jobs one and three and finally settled on number three. But I hadn't heard back and I was still obligated to job number one.
Monday, I have orientation, and during lunch, I get an email saying I got job number three!! Needless to say, I called job number one right away and told them the news. They asked me to stay until Thursday. After lunch, I reported to my station and told the guy ab I my situation. An hour later, another guy comes in to ask to speak to me. He asks me what they can do to convince me to stay there. I say nothing but thank him for the offer. After four days of doing a menial task, I finally start on job number three. The first few hours were boring but after that....I have no words. Let's just say that while walking to my car after work, I had so many ideas and thoughts in my head and I could not wait to go back to work on Monday.
I finally feel like an adult and that I've found a good thing. But hey, it's just the first day. Let's see how it goes!

February Favorites
I posted a February Favorites video
Along with the video, I proved a playlist and boyyyy this playlist is amazing. I know it's all top 40s songs but they're up there for a reason. I've been listening to this playlist nonstop. Good for singing along to or just for dancing around. Link here.
(I'm obviously not a music person, these are all my opinions and thoughts for putting the songs on the playlist.)
Let's go over the songs on the list a little bit:
-Uptown Funk - This song is sweeping the nation. It is so dance worthy and catchy and annoying in a good way.
-Love Me Like You Do - I just sing the chorus but it is so good
-Sugar - This song makes me spaz dance. It's so catchy and fun to move along to
-Thinking Out Loud - This makes me emotional in a good way and it's so ballad-y and amazing
-Take Me to Church - Ballad, singing, all good stuff.
-Four Five Seconds - It's so good. I don't know how else to explain it
-I'm Not the Only One - Good to sing along to. It will emotionally punch you in the gut. Sam Smith man
-Centuries - I had a little stroke when I put this on here but it's so good to listen to. Debating whether or not to replace it with Immortals. Maybe, maybe not.
-Jealous - I've loved Nick Jonas since the Jonas Brother days. I love his voice so much. And this song is so great with his voice.
-Stay With Me - Another Sam Smith. He's that good. His songs are that good
-All of Me - Not sure why I added this, I tend to skip it when I reach it sometimes. But it's good for singing along to when you're feeling it
-Don't - I just added this. Why did I add it? Every time I hear it on the radio, I just want to sing along. And it's like Ed's version of rapping and I love it.
That's it for now, check out my other links to see how I'm doing.

Post February Update
I can't believe it is March already. February was incredible. I gained more than 20 subscribers, had more than 2000 views, and earns three times what I usually earned. So what are some other things that happened in February?
-I got a new phone (Feb 28) and now I have to use that for videos.
-I've had to send my laptop in 4 times just this month so I can't even upload new videos. So many vlogs awaiting editing.
-One-take/no-cuts videos have become a thing.
-My tumblr got crazy.
-#NicerInternet . So that happened. It was great.
-My twitter blew up because of that
-(Related to above) Being positive, posting nice things, being nice on the internet, anti-bullying, etc
-All my new youtube subscribers have me over the moon. It feels so stressful having all these people viewing my content. I'm trying to stay positive and only put out good things.
-I made a second channel for vlogs and random things. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3YkXH4Z1nL6LzO8ypvy3Yg
Some stuff from February I'd like you guys to check out if you haven't already.
-I made a February favorites playlist on Spotify: https://play.spotify.com/user/12756675/playlist/471shI4MHsZbAWBrfUh5rV
-Also made a childhood/lifetime favorites playlist. These are songs that I used to love and know every single word of: https://play.spotify.com/user/12756675/playlist/1tHthezScXTFH1fsCKZVD3
-February favorites video (I actually didn't say enough things in this video):
-I was going to post it here but there's just too many. Go to this link to see everything I posted in February and in 2015 so far. http://allthecatherinethings.blogspot.com/p/2015.html

Something happened yesterday.
There had been a no smoking policy on our campus since Jan 2014. I have had to inform many students of this and ask them to put out their cigarettes and they have always complied right away.
But yesterday was different. I had just finished class and was walking back when I noticed a student who was walking the opposite direction had a lit cigarette. I approached him and informed him about the smoke-free policy and asked him to put it out. He responded saying that he would and continued walking.
Now, I usually watch a person until the put it out (which they do because they don't really want me to stand there until they finish smoking) but this guy was walking and he didn't put it out even after he walked off. So I silently followed him. This pursuit went something like this:
"Are you following me?"
"Yeah, I'm just making sure you put it out and then I'll leave"
"Well where do you want me to put it out? There's no where to do it"
"You can snub it out on the ground and then throw it in the trash can"
"Okay, whatever, you can follow me to lot 30 where I parked my car"
...
"Can you stop f*ing following me?"
"I will as soon as you put it out"
"You're f*ing crazy you know?"
"Thank you"
"Can you just go away?"
"I will as soon as you put it out. It's a very simple request"
"Well my request is simpler, just stop f*ing following me"
This happened the entire walk across campus. He took out his phone to snap a picture/video of me before he threw it onto the grass next to the bus stop. I had to go step on it and pick it up to throw it into the trash can.
I also informed him some time throughout this interaction that he can light another one as soon as he gets off campus.
Three things upset me: he didn't put it out right away, he felt the need to curse at me even though I didn't curse back, and that he took a picture of me that might end up online somewhere.
I'd really like some feedback on this. What do you guys think? What should I have done? What would you have done?
And do not say to leave it alone because if one person gets away with it, they all get away with it. Next time he thinks about lighting up on campus, he'll probably get a flashback of that crazy girl that followed him all the way across campus.
(And I think I might have a little PTSD because I started to feel a little panicked when I passed that spot on the grass where I saw him yesterday. Not a good feeling.)

Happy Valentine's Day!
I am not a professional. I obviously haven't been doing it right because of how single I am. These are just personal opinions and advice to being more self confident. However if you have some positive input or something to add, I am more than happy to hear about it. You can leave a comment below or go to one of my social medias and I'll privately message you an email to contact me with.
Since today is Valentine's day and it's all about the lovey-dovey, I thought maybe I should adress this subject a little. I know we all fall in love when we're young and I'm definitely not saying that it doesn't mean anything, I belive in young love too. But once you reach an adult age, you will want a mature relationship. I know I am a hopeless romantic and believe strongly in finding true love so you may or may not relate to this. But before you can find love, you need to love yourself. And in order to love yourself, you have to learn to accept all of your own flaws. I have a video below pointing out all of my own flaws:
I already love myself very much (maybe a litte too much) and I am very aware of all my flaws. If someone wants to insult me, I let them because I know it's all true. I do not let them affect me because I know who I am. I guess this post is more about self confidence than anything else. I do believe that if you're having a hard time finding someone, you should probably look at yourself first. Maybe you just don't accept yourself enough, how can someone else when you don't?
But....if you're like me and an over-confident lady and still haven't found someone...I don't know how to help you there other than just be patient. I'm sure this time next year I'll probably have found someone that I like. Just stay positive and don't worry about it too much. Enjoy your singleness while you still have it.
Peace, love, all the usual stuff.
Bye~!

This Past Year
It's hard to believe that it has been almost a year since the incident happened. Since I'm close to the people that the situation involved, I was asked to remove all proof of it from my social media as to not draw attention. (I have done that but I think I can still allude to it since it has impacted me so greatly.)
I'm generally not supposed to talk about it and I'm supposed to act like it never happened. But I feel like it has greatly changed me this past year. Since then, I have broken up with my boyfriend and distanced myself from all my friends. I've become an even more introvert person, definitely darker, and less bright than I was before.
For awhile after the incident, if I would go out with friends, I would be the one sitting quietly in the corner thinking about things instead of the one engaging in conversations with everyone. And even now, I don't really like to talk to many people at all. I do get attached to those that I'm close to though.
I wasn't able to finish this when I wrote it down in my notebook as a draft because I started to cry and I'm not going to finish it now. This is more for myself than for anyone else. It's a realization of who I have become in this past year and the documentation of my acceptance of it.
I made a video about kinda the same things. I cried...watch it if you want

This is Insane
Okay, so by my title you probably can't tell what I'm talking about but you'll understand once we get to the end of this.
I follow a lot of youtubers and I've made at least 35 videos in the month of January. How do these things go together? Well, since there are so many videos, I'm not able to release them right away because I don't want to overcrowd sub boxes more than I already am. Lately, I've been noticing that a lot of youtubers are putting out videos that I have just filmed.
Examples:
-Marcus Butler's being sick video. I filmed a video on the same topic the Friday morning before he released it!!
-Will Darbyshire's things that annoy him video. I filmed mine....in December but hadn't released it yet until last week I think
-Jim Chapman's how to make friends video. I'm pretty sure I posted the same thing the week before.
These all happened in the last two weeks or so. I'm sure I can find more if I tried but those are the three that resonated with me the most because I witnessed it happening very recently.
What was the point of this post? Nothing. Well maybe not nothing, I'm not mad or anything, I just think WOW my brain is on the same wavelength as these guys. Isn't that so cool?

Going Public
Coming Out Publicly
Now that I have completed my goal to post every single day in the month of January, I have to wonder "what's next?" I had first decided to give myself that goal because I wanted 2015 to be different in the sense that I have a better work ethic and I care about the content that I put out. Plus I wanted to get used to being someone who posts things regularly.
I have debated this move for a very long time but I have chosen to just jump in and do it. I have decided to come out publically to the friends that I have actually met in person. When I say coming out, it doesn't mean revealing my sexuality, it just means I'm coming out into society (like a debutante). I have just announced on my personal facebook page that I have been posting videos and putting my life out on the internet for people to see. I don't even expect them to follow me or even click on my links; I just wanted to put it out there in case some of them are actually interested (I do know that most people just scroll past when they see me post things).
So if you are a new viewer, thank you and welcome, feel free to follow me. All my links are below and you have so much to catch up on! If you have been following me, thank you so much for all your support and have you even seen everything that I've put out? I do have more than 300 videos uploaded and 3 separate blogs!
But what will I do now that it's February?
I'm not going to stop creating content, that is the last thing that I want to do. My videos consist of so many topics ranging from Disney to vlogs to whatever random thing I want to talk about! I haven't really found a niche for myself yet because I just have so many things on my mind that I will never run out. I've always thought that if I had infinite time and no obligations, I would just record 100 hours worth of content! (And probably spend the rest of my life editing it because of how slow I am.)
I decided some time in January that I have to buckle down and focus more on school.(Right after I decided to go public.) I will continue posting things but it might just be once or twice a week. (Fridays every week + Tuesday if I have extra things.) Of course the easiest way to keep updated is to follow me on Twitter or to go to the 2015 tab (link) and see what I have upcoming. It has the date I post something, the name of the thing, and a direct link to the thing. Videos and posts are published around noon Pacific time on the day of - if I uploaded it ahead of time. If not, it'll just go public whenever it is done processing.
For now I just have to focus on school but I look forward to getting feedback and making more content every week. I will see you guys soon and I hope you all support me!
My thought process behind going public if this blog post wasn't explanatory enough:
