The hand is to show just how tiny it is! This was taking at the hospital as well, so please excuse the background! Anyways, thanks to my stepdad for purchasing this for me! :)

New laptop!
My Toshiba's working fine and dandy - and I feel as though the internet connection on my new one isn't as good as the Toshiba's LOL but whatever, it's all for universities and movies anyway! I wrote more about this on the 2 previous posts - the "update" one! I can't be bothered to write it all again, SIGH. But thought I'd show you pictures (or well.. one):
I've been Bliss'd-out!
Hello fellow bloggers! So as promised, I'm making a post - a little review, actually.
So, I was on the hunt for a good exfoliator+mask and tbh, I think I have already found it:
A two-in-one rinse-off cleanser and exfoliator for all skin types.
What it is formulated to do:
Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash harnesses the power of botanical soothing technology and super-soft exfoliating beads to deliver a simply sensational skincare solution. This best-selling, oil-free purifier instantly dissolves excess oil and makeup, and lifts away dead cells, leaving skin clean, nourished, and fresh.
What else you need to know:
This versatile formula offers a non-stripping soft touch, and a light, fruity scent.
What I say:
Honestly, it ain't bad. My skin is SUPER sensitive to scrub, and seeing as how this is a 2 in 1 product - I feel as though it is very gentle on my skin however I do not use it daily! I use this about 1-2 x's a week. This doesn't lather up so well though, and the exfoliating beads are not as hard so it really moves around smoothly on the skin while you're scrubing. I think I find this amazing because I haven't broken out from this! I do think this is gentle enough for everyday use but I'm already happy with my Clinique and Dior cleansers (yes, I use two!) I don't think this works strong enough as a scrub alone - but it does give me that clean feel. I can def. see myself repurchasing this though but there could be better.
A frothy mask that releases oxygen into the skin, so your complexion is instantly brighter, fresher, and younger-looking.
What it is formulated to do:
Instantly delivers a shot of oxygen, a powerhouse form of vitamin C, time-released antioxidants, and a moisture fix, to spiff up your complexion when it's looking and feeling lackluster.
What else you need to know:
Inspired by Bliss Spa's most-famous facial, which gives skin the energy it needs for everyday metabolism, collagen synthesis, and detoxifying action.
What I say:
Out of the two, this is my favourite! I have read reviews and I guess some were just good, and some were just bad. I have dry-combo skin. The only oily area I have on my face is around my nose which sux but anyways - I also have VERY dull skin! Tired, dull, boring - you name it! I found this to be the perfect boost! It made my skin glow - literally. I love the feeling. The foaming sensation feels wonderful and when you let it set for a good 5 minutes and rinse off - skin feels good as new. Best mask - hands down.

Download + Update!
A friend of mine has recently suggested a wonderful site to download a couple of TV series/movies/music videos for free. Usually I always prefer to stream my shows instead of downloading them (just 'cause I don't want to risk having a virus taking over my lap top) but lately I've been a complete download freak! I'm also super excited about GG and 90210 airing tomorrow and have already downloaded TVD Season 2 Episode 1! I've got KUWTK S3 downloading as we speak, as well! Ah, excited!
What are your favourite tv shows/movies? I need a couple to keep me busy!
UPDATES:
Also, my (awesome) stepdad bought me a new laptop for uni! I was on the hunt for a small/lightweight/cute laptop to use strictly for school - I already have a Toshiba that's been working just swell but thought I should invest in another one. I'm lovin' it! I guess I shall be posting pix soon but it's a cute pink LG one that fits right in my purse! and its charger's so cute and tiny! lovelovelove.
I will also be doing my reviews on two Bliss products that I've been using lately. I would write one now, but my pictures are on my other laptop so I guess that will have to wait!
A September post is coming up v. soon as well which will include some fashion faves of mine that work well for the fall, some fall recipes I've been cookin', and also a few random posts here and there.
I'm also debating on whether I should do a "What's in your purse" post? I've seen the videos on utube and have read a couple on Blogspot but maybe I should do one just for fun? Or should I make a video and upload it on here? Hmm...
I'm also on the hunt for a big clutch - all the handbags I carry are usually oversized (will post them later on as well!) and have been way to heavy for me to carry around everywhere. My mother found a Jimmy Choo clutch she's been liking. Not that I want it, but it gave me an idea - thank you, mama! So I guess I'm on the hunt for that!
I'm also VERY relieved to know that more classes will be opening up soon later on this September which will give me time to sign/apply! I checked in with my advisor and I'm honestly so happy to know that I'll be taking essential subjects this semester - w00 perhaps I might not need any summer courses? That's if I don't fail a subject!
I'm also very aware that I haven't been posting much! I've been very busy but now I feel as though I have a lot of time on my hands - I've recently been celebrating Eid, have been visiting a certain someone at the Hospital the past few weeks, and just haven't been in the mood to post. I guess now, things are finally going well! Probably will make a post or two tomorrow.
