Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to get a free skincare kit at Body Shop with a small purchase. I was surprised to receive the gift because I didn’t know that there was a promotion going on at the Body Shop until I checked out at the cashier. The free gift is just right for me. It is a mini skincare kit of the Vitamin E line, including a cleanser, a toner, a moisture cream, a night cream and a mini towel, all of which are packed into an adorable light pink mesh zip bag (the actual color is a bit off than the picture shown). The size of the bag is just somewhat bigger than my palm, which is super friendly for travelling.

Actually I have been thinking of buying a travelling skincare kit for my trip to China next month after having a bad experience on my last trip. Most importantly, the Vitamin E line is my favorite skincare line in the US so far. I fell in love with this product line shortly after using it. When I just moved to the US, I really had a hard time finding good skincare products that work for my skin. I have combination plus sensitive skin, so I need something very natural, moisturizing, yet not greasy.

At first I only planned to buy an eye cream, but eventually bought an additional micro refiner because it was on sale. The total of the purchase was USD35, which entitled me to get a free skincare kit, valued at USD30. Then I got another 10% off with my membership card. In the end, I got an eye cream, a refiner, plus a lovely skincare kit with only USD33.

If you are interested in the free skincare kit, go to the Body Shop today because this is a limited-time offer.

Yesterday I talked with Mason about choices in life, then I thought of a quotation from the Spiderman 3 movie. “Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. It’s the choice that makes us who we are, and we can always choose to do what is right.”

I was told that it’s even our choice to live happily. Below is an illustration created by a freelance designer, Diane, in Taiwan. She used a soft drink vending machine to depict choices of mood in daily life. In case you don't read Chinese, the girl is asking the rabbit "What mood do you choose for today?".

Last month, I finally went back to school for a Graphic Design program, by which I hope I can develop the necessary expertise to ultimately make my dream a reality.
