🎃 Halloween this year falls on a good schedule because
1. We get an extra hour, and 2. The morning after is #SundayRunday!
Utilized the extra hour to burn off those Halloween treats. 👻 3 miles done and dusted.
What better way to start the new month? Sunday brunch.
Halloween might be over, but I was still feeling the spooks on the dark and gloomy Sunday morning.
At home, my mom and I regularly make homemade soymilk, but this is the first time we made soymilk using black soybeans!
It tastes sweeter than regular soybeans, and the soybean pulp leftover (called okara or 豆渣) is blackish gray in color. I thought that it'd go great with black sesame.
End result: fresh made black soy milk + sesame okara pancakes. Papaya kiwi goji fruit platter. Black sesame butter for drizzling on top. 🐼🎃
I thought the taste was great, but the recipe still needs tweaking! ;)
black soybean milk pudding sleeping pack by botanic farm
I was not paid for this review nor am I affiliated with any of the mentioned brands
I ordered Botanic Farm’s “Black Soybean Milk Pudding Sleeping Pack” about three weeks ago via memebox.com. Before I start talking about the product itself, I just want to express how highly I recommend using Memebox. They sell mainly Korean beauty and self-care products for discounted prices, and are based in San Francisco - so if you live in the US like I do, shipping is quick and painless. They send their products cutely packaged (even the box it was shipped in was filled with pink confetti with a pretty name card on top) and in excellent condition. Based on accounts from friends, they are also very accommodating towards order or shipping changes.
With that said, onto the actual product! This was my first venture into Korean skincare products, so I was super excited to try it out after all the hype. I received the package in the morning, so I decided to patch test it on the back of my hand then and, if that went well, would use it properly that night before bed.
APPEARANCE
The cream itself is a warm slightly grey-toned brown. It’s packaged nicely, coming in a black tin with a copper lid and comes with a tiny plastic spoon for scooping the product out. The cream’s consistency is a bit like thick jello. The surface of it always settles back into smoothness with an hour of using it, so it looks brand new in the jar every night. It has a very subtle but pleasant scent.
USE
As soon as my skin absorbed the cream, my hand felt 10 times softer! It was better than most lotions I’d ever used. Needless to say, I was excited to try it and see what actual results it would get me.
The first time I used it, I was surprised by how well it spread and ended up using more than I needed to. You really only need a little to get thorough coverage. After a clear patch test, I used it the night I got it. Before bed I washed my face with another product I ordered from memebox (review coming soon) and rubbed the Black Soybean Sleeping Mask into my face. It left my face sticky for about 10 minutes, so I had some hot chocolate while I waited for it to dry. Once it did, I went to sleep and let it work its magic!
EFFECT
The next morning, I definitely felt a difference. My skin was softer and smoother than the night before. It was a great feeling, since that was something other skincare products had never really done for me.
I’ve been using the sleep mask for about three weeks now, so here’s my final report:
The mask claims “...to be able to produce softer, firmer and more flawless skin overnight.” It certainly made my skin softer, but firmer and “more flawless”? I’ll concede the point of firmness, considering I’m only 19, and the mask may have actually helped lessen my perpetual dark circles, but I don’t feel it actually changed the way my skin looks. I still have the same amount of pimples I did before, still wake up with red splotches. On that account, it was somewhat disappointing. Overall, though, I was very pleased with this product.
