Juliana Yu: 13 Personal Questions Tag!

Hi all, I saw this and it seemed quite fun so I thought I'd do it for y'all to get to know me a bit better!

1. What do you order at Starbucks?

I have this down to the science.

If I'm feeling healthy: Skinny caramel latte (100 calories!)
If it's hot: Java Chip frappucino (caffeinated) or Caramel Cream frappucino (no-coffee = no teeth stains!)
If it's a fall-kinda-day: Pumpkin Spice Latte but if it's not the fall season then a Latte with a pump of chai and a pump of white chocolate mocha, it tastes the same!

2. What's one thing in your closet you can't live without?

My blouses! They go with jeans, jeggings, leggings, and any type of shorts.

3. What's the one thing that most people don't know about you?

I'm an avid pianist, been playing since I was 4. I'm aiming for my diploma level next year. If I pass it, then I'm an official concert pianist!
(My favourite type of music to play are Chopin's nocturnes! The Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.1 is to die for)

4. What's the one thing you want to do before you die?

Find a soul mate. I don't mean date more or be in more relationships or get married or anything, but an actual person that I'm genuinely destined to be with. I guess I've just watched too many rom coms!

5. What's one food you can't live without?

Pizza. I'm breaking the Chinese stereotype hahaha :')
I'd also say chocolate but it's not exactly food it's just a type of dessert/sweet/junk food.

6. What's one quote that you live your life by?

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. If one only remembers to turn on the light"
- Albus Dumbledore.

It reminds me that I can control my own happiness and nothing can stop me from achieving what I want in life. Also that Hogwarts will always be there to welcome me home #jkrowlingisqueen

7. What do you like and dislike about the YouTube community?

Like: It's really easy to make new friends from around the world, I've made quite a few already!

Dislike: The YouTube community sometimes acts like the youtuber with the most expensive, high-quality camera has the best videos. It may be true, since good editing comes from experience, but people seem to be forgetting that everyone started off with a bad quality video that was filmed in their room.

8. What's your number one song on your iPod/iTunes?

Anything country. I love country music. But I especially like anything by Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Florida Georgia Line.

9. What kind of style would you describe yourself as having?

Comfortable but classic and slightly preppy.

10. Favourite number?

Anything even... because I've got OCD.

11. Two hobbies?

Baking and working out! Shopping comes in really close as well hehe

12. Two pet peeves?

I absolutely hate it when people chew loudly and/or with their mouths open. No one wants to see what your mushed food looks like okay can you not.

I also hate it when people do that leg-shakey thing when they're fidgeting. I see it from the corner of my eye and it drives me mad it's as if there's an earthquake that I'm not part of can you just not.

13. Your guilty pleasure?

Watching TV in bed with some sort of junk food.... it's usually a show from the CW or something like Rich Kids of Beverly Hills that I've totally been loving. It's exactly how me and my friend E act without spending as much money as them (I wish!)

So that's all for tonight, I'm gonna um... curl up in bed and watch some TV with chocolate chips... awks.
Feel free to do this questions tag and I'll write again next week!

Love Juliana XOXO

Update and Current Obsessions!

Hey hey y'all, it's Julsie here :)

So I've been absolutely dying under all my school work- just a quick update, I got offered into a university to do the 5 year Translation programme, which I accepted the offer and moved into the dorms, but in my first week of school I got offered into another university into Year 2, to study Psychology for a total of 3 years. I took up the offer, because Translation wasn't what I thought it would be- Its just plainly chinese-english translation and I've been doing that my whole life (multicultural probs) so I found it really boring. 

So to sum it up, I basically skipped the first year of university, and will graduate at 20. No pressure, right? Lol.

But I'm knee deep in mid-terms so far, but thankfully, like the typical asian, I've been getting straight As.... yet here I am blogging instead of studying. Awks.

I finally got to post my first video on Youtube! Check it out below @LittleMissJuliana! Please support me and hit like and subscribe and leave me a comment, it means a lot! :))

Beauty obsessions:

I've been absolutely obsessed with my new MAC Blacktrack Fluidline. I got it the other day because my old Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner was drying up, and I really wanted to amp up my everyday look with a winged eyeliner. If you guys follow me on twitter @MissJulianaYu, then you know that I simply adore my kohl eyeliners from Rimmel but it's not as practical as it's just so smooth and creamy that it'll smudge if I tried to wing it out.

I've been really liking the Sinful Colors nail polish in the shade Snow Me White. It's such a perfect white to enhance a tan and it doesn't look tacky like tippex on your nails. It's not a cream-based white, nor is it a bluey white, but doesn't look dodgy at all. Love, love, love!

I'm so obsessed with the MAC Plum Foolery blush. It's a gorgeous shade of plum, with a hint of sheen. But, coming from an oily skin-ed gal it's nothing major, it just looks like a satin finish. I love finishing my look off with a plum-shade blush and a rosey lipgloss- the perfect transition look from summer to fall. It's actually still really warm in Hong Kong so I've been living my fall-season dreams through my makeup and fashion. Thankfully all the lecture halls in uni have the air con blasting. 

Stupid story: Once I got so excited cos I was actually kinda chilly, and was so excited that fall in Hong Kong exists (it's usually too humid for fall!) but after 5 minutes I realised my air conditioner was on... #awkward much.

Last, but definitely not least is the L'oreal Shine Caresse lip gloss. I'm especially liking the shade 606 Lolita, which I've heard is only available in Asia. So come to Asia or get your friends to ship it to you, it's so worth it! It's the perfect doll-like pink, but nothing too extravagant. It's natural looking and is the perfect summer-to-fall transition shade!

That's it for all my beauty obsessions now, definitely check them out if you get a chance to! Love you all and miss you!

Love, Juliana xox
