My fav thing to do right now is watch dramas.
I started using KissAsian to watch everything since it's HD and no ads hehe.

Decided to drop the dramas that weren't very interesting but I keep finding more things to watch!

Here's the current list:

• Cinderella and the Four Knights (Ahn Jae Hyun and also Lee Jung Shin are super cute)
• I really like the female lead~
• Love in the Moonlight (PARK. BO. GUM. and adorable Kim Yoo Jung AND JINYOUNG)
• This one for the silly and fun-ness 
• Perseverance, Goo Hae Ra (this is where Jinyoung was discovered lmao)
• Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (because Baekhyun but idk where this might go)
• W- Two Worlds
• This one is so hard to wait for!
• Who Are You: School 2015 (started this for Kim So Hyun but Sungjae is sooo cute)

I want to get a new agenda or something but I don't think I'm ready idk

----

Welp I just checked emails about loans and stuff, gotta start paying in 3 months, eeeep

I guess it would be good to start getting organized...

Nature Republic

Got these in the mail~

I really like the Missha Anti Trouble Patch Set.

I see a significant decrease in size of blemishes.

It has salicylic acid (which usually doesn't work for me) and tea tree oil (which I've never tried before so maybe that's the ingredient that works).

Not really sure how the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid and Snail Recovery Gel Cream are doing so far but I'm optimistic. 

The BHA doesn't sting like their AHA when my skin is freshly cleansed and it's actually pretty moisturizing, too.
