This is going to be an experiment!

Hi everyone,

My name is Michelle. I'm 18 years old. I'm interested in Japanese, beauty, health, and love. As a result my blog will focus on those things. I may decide to start a new blog if this one doesn't have the right feel and I will be changing many things such as the layout soon.

To give you a more in depth look at who I am and what I'll be doing I'll tell you more about myself!

I am a senior in a magnet high school. I have been learning Japanese there for a number of years, and recently, I've started to learn Chinese. This is because will be an exchange student in Taiwan next year, but more on that later! I speak Japanese well enough to get by. I'm not a natives level yet though. Japanese language is something amazing. I may talk about that here. Maybe even teach it, or start write some entries in Japanese. It all depends. I don't know yet. I hope a little of everything.

I'm really into being beautiful on the inside and out. The inside is what matters the most, but that doesn't mean is wrong to be beautiful on the outside either! I focus a lot on haircare, skincare, and makeup. I also like Korean fashion a lot! Some of my self care secrets I'll share on here. I hope to find more as well. I'm always learning more. We, as women, should always be willing to learn more and take it to the next level. Same-old is unhealthy and boring too! I use a mix of products. Everything from drug store to korean BB cream to La Mer. Just because something costs a lot doesn't make it a good product, just because something has a name doesn't mean it's good quality. It's all about trying and learning to find what works best for you. I really like this process of trying. I'm sure I'll review many things. Let's learn together!

Health is so key to everything. When I was a freshman in high school I got very sick. I'm sure I'll talk about it later. But health will make you beautiful. It will make you smarter. It will make your love life better. We all have to try to be healthy. Sometimes we cannot help but to become sick or ill; but we can try to persuade our bodies to get/stay healthy! It's never too late. I love cooking, so I'm sure I will post pictures and recipes! I like cooking food from all over the world! I'll talk about exercising and dieting. Let's become more beautiful and healthy and learn from each other, okay.

My last topic is love! I have had some not so good relationships, and some really great ones. But I'm not just talking about having a partner. Loving your friends, your family, and yourself are just as important. Right now I am in a relationship I hope will be my last. I hope him and I get married. I'm sure I'll tell you all about him soon. For now this is secret from him!! We'll see where it goes! ^_~

I hope I sparked your interest. I know it's sometimes a pain to comment or maybe intimidating, but I promise I'm very down to earth and interested in what you have to say.

Nice to meet you!
