Hulu plus

Trying out Hulu, because I am quickly running out of things to watch. This is a brief review since it has only been 2 days of use.  Although I like that Hulu has a lot of to date episodes, I feel as if it is very limited. Some shows only have the recent season, and others have all seasons. Another downside to Hulu is the commercial breaks. So one has to ponder if 8 bucks is worth spending. 

Adventure capitalist game

Tried this game out, adventure capitalist. 

You are an investor and You start with a lemonade stand, and as your lemonade stand earns more money, the stand grows. As the money grows you invest in other company's, i.e. Hockey team, newspaper, shrimp boat, etc. and you just watch your money grow. Very basic game. 

Within a day I was a billionaire, and almost bought all the companies. At fist it was interesting to watch the money grow. But, there isn't really any objectives other than make more money. You just keep expanding, you get unlocked prizes like a car and a mansion but the game lacks adventure. I am already bored of the game. Within one day! I guess it needs a little more. Try it out, but it's not really for me. 

Instagraming for a bargain

Recently, I started following a bunch of "Instagram boutiques" especially in my area. It's like shopping at savers, except you don't have to search every single aisle for a steal. 

Here is my boutique, an example of how people sell their items, they have meet ups or shipping depending on the seller. 

Recently bought these shorts, for $5. Super comfy shorts. I plan on using it when I go Disneyland! Check out your nearest Instagram boutique. 

Into the future, on Netflix

Recently, on Netflix I watched a bunch of fantasy shows, where they go into the future. All different but somewhat the same, yet most tv shows always have a rise and fall. 

The first show I watched was revolution. It's about how one day all power gets turned off, and 15 years later this girl tries to figure out what happened 15 years ago. The first season was pretty interesting, second season gets kinda bland. I do although like the idea of going off the grid learning to survive without the means of electronic technology! Not permanently but it would be a nice skill to learn. 

This one is more further into the future, nuclear bombs went off due to wars and made the earth unlivable so everyone moved into space until radiation levels are safe. Hundred years or so years later they send 100 underage delinquents to see if earth is sustainable. This show is more for teens, but the fact that they come to earth after, and all the new things that has formed on earth makes this show interesting. 

Last into the future show I watched is, terra nova. This I found very interesting, except there is only one season. Way into the future, we ruin the earth from technology and polluting the air. I really don't know how to explain it but they go into time into a parrallel universe or something. And they go so far back with dinosaurs but yet they have all this interesting technology! The fact that they have to escape their own timeline due to technology and pollution just only proves that maybe the first show revolution displays something we need to learn. I like that in this show they have a mix of technology but also use sustainability. 

Hanging clothes, saving money

This not the most luxurious chore but cutting down expenses anyway possible is the goal. If I can save a few dollars I'm doing it! (Well attempt). 

Hanging clothes is not the most fun task but it really reduces electric bill and I like to think that it extends life of clothes. Dryer process I think shortens the life of clothes. 

This morning I picked up this hanger from Longs Drugs. It was on sale for $2.99 I used it for under garments like socks. This is a good product for just starting to hang clothes. 

There are many ways to incorporate hang drying into your life. I hope it saves you money! 

Overnight oatmeal with chia seeds.

Recently I have been on Pinterest, and i kept seeing this overnight oatmeal with chia seeds. it is said to be healthy and a very good breakfast treat. so i decided to try it. 

i got this post straight from Pinterest, and it is linked to this blog that Oven Feeling. Which this blog has a lot of amazing recipes. ones i might have to try myself. 

this is the original recipe from the website. Unfortunately i did not have all the ingredients i used what i had. 

Chia seeds i got from my sister-in-law. 

I did not have plain oatmeal, but it works out because i did not have dried fruits, this is my replacment. to me it worked out well.  i also added a dash of coconut milk. But i used a generic brand and it did not have a strong coconut milk flavor.

so here are a few pictures of my run. left is before, and the right picture is the next morning. I did not realize how thick the consistency was gonna be, on the Pinterest post said to add milk to lessen the thickness. I also forgot to add honey, but it was not too bad without it, just a tad bit bland but i think that maybe the extra flavor from my oatmeal helped. I must say that the oatmeal actually held me over till late afternoon so i really enjoy this breakfast, because i can snack all day unless i have something to hold me over. try it out let me know how you like it. I am gonna try different variations of this oatmeal.

Cheap every day make up

I use to be a Mac girl, Mac everything. But now I need to learn to spend more frugally! Although somethings I still use Mac. 

Yesterday's make up! 

I used costal scents neutral palette for my eyeshadow. I got it on their website on sale, they have a lot of sales just get on their mailing list! I got mine for under $16. 

(Image from their website) 

Very beautiful colors. They also have an 88 palette that is full of colors. Although, this neutral palette is not as pigmented as the 88 palette. With that said, I had to prime my eyes. I just used concealer when I did my brows. 

My brows, I used Mac dip down to line my brows, and espresso to fill in. Even if you have black hair, I would suggest never to use black on eyebrows (too harsh). 

Eyeliner I use E.l.F. Liquid liner and I believe it's not more than $3. 

(Image off google). I actually enjoy ELF products! They work quite well. I work and sweat and this eye liner stays. Although they do smudge easily! So don't touch!
