It's the holidays and glitter is in the air! With gem tones and bejeweled sparkles adorning every each of your holiday wardrobe, it's only fitting to let your makeup shine as well with layers of the season's gem tone colors. As a Chinese girl with Chinese eyes, I live with the trepidation that applying bright colors to my not so defined eye crease will result in unwanted raccoon eyes. The contours of my eyelids simply can't handle too much drama. Yet, I want to revel in the spirit of the holidays from head to toe. What's a girl to do?

My Dos and Don'ts Korean spa etiquette video is up! It's filled with practical tips and advice on how to fully immerse and enjoy a truly unique spa (and cultural) experiences. You'll also get to see me wrapped in a towel looking like Hannibal Lecter with terry cloth lamb ears sitting on my head. Win win.

On my 21st birthday, there was no Vegas trip, no stomach pumping twenty one drinks. I spent it quietly on a double date with my bff. She was dating a new guy who was pleasant, funny, and a nose picker. We went to a club in West Hollywood where he spent the entire night excavating. We would be in the middle of a conversation when suddenly he'd raise his right index finger and shove it up his nose. It was the most awkward stop in conversation yet he did it with a natural cadence that revealed expertise and experience.

California bar results came out around my birthday so naturally I was worried that if I didn't pass, the holidays and my birthday would be utterly ruined. I was so mad! Posting the most important test results of ones life right before Thanksgiving? Yet another torture chamber concocted by the sick minds of the state bar. For weeks, my mind was consumed with the fear of not passing. The test was an exercise in masochism in the strictest form and I could not put myself through the torment a second time. Reading blogs documenting those that hadn't passed on their twelfth, fifteenth attempt didn't help. Oh god, I thought. I'm going to be a legal spinster who'll get interviewed by CBS news as the oldest woman to take the bar exam. I'd show up to the test with my den of cats, unruly mane that hadn't been combed in twenty years, and the most insane crazy eyes.

When the day of reckoning finally arrived and it was time to input my six digit number to see if my name was on the pass list, I couldn't stop shaking. It wasn't so much that I badly wanted to be a lawyer. Rather, I just wanted to move on with my life and get some closure on a grueling and challenging chapter that was three years in the making.

My eighteenth birthday was a wild wild ride. A Korean bbq dinner with my girlfriends turned into a risky and risque game of Truth or Dare that divulged shockingly hilarious secrets that are forever sealed in my memory bank. After the three hour meal, we went ice skating. We looked like fools sashaying on the ice attempting all kinds of unattemptable stunts that resulted in bodies covered in bruises. But for the first time in a very long time, we didn't care about looking cool. That night on the ice, we let our inner dorks shine.

While driving home after ice skating, I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up on the 110 freeway heading straight for Downtown LA. I was eighteen, a female Asian driver, and a freeway virgin. A Tasmanian Devil in a red Acura Integra was on the loose! It took me a few seconds to even realize I was on the freeway as the surface street automatically meshes into the 110.
