I drink lots of water, never skip taking my daily multivitamin, and use a moisturizer with SPF.
Depending on the occassion (work, running errands, or maintaining my social life), my routine can take up to an hour. I always take a fairly quick shower (about 5 minutes) if I'm not planning on shaving my legs or exfoliating. I use a toner or an astringent for sensitive skin and then I use a moisturizer. I also use a body lotion but the occassion dictates if I use one that's pretty fragrant. I put several different kinds of products in my hair while it's wet (a detangler, a serum for the frizzies, a heat protectant, and some type of volumizing prodct) and then I blow dry. Then I put a tad bit more of that serum for frizzies in my hair right before I flat iron it straight. I tease my crown a bit to give some desperately needed volume. I'll use Aveda's Hair Potion if I need massive volume. I finish with a light hair spray. I usually just wear a mascare if I'm running errands but for anything else I will (sometimes) apply foundation & primer but always eyeshadow. It really depends on the occassion if I will go out and glamorize myself or not. And before I walk out of my bathroom door I will spray a couple spitzes of one of my fav fragrances.
When I was in high school I had light-medium brownish hair. I used to be blond in my childhood and so I thought I'd try a box color to achieve that blond look. Big mistake. It ended up turning that weird orangish color that so many Asians sport when they attempt the same thing. I was in absolute denial that it wasn't orange and I actually kept dying it that color for the next year. Naturally, I am completely mortified any time I look at pics during that time. On the plus side, when I visited my mother's relatives in Japan (my mother is Japanese and grew up there) during the summer, I did blend right in - hair wise that is.
I've never been told I look like another celebrity, however, I have been told several times by complete strangers that I bear a certain likeness to felines.
