SW Aquatica in San Diego

Hello!

It was my dayoff today and I had some SW tickets left,
so I went to the Aquatica water park with A. c:

SeaWorld just opened Aquatica on June 1 this year, but it's actually

on the exact same property where Knott's Soak City used to be (right off 805N).

It's super close to my house though, about 10 minutes.  

There are 5 water slides (the main rides), a wave-pool, a lazy river,

and a water playground + kid's waterslides.

It's actually not a whole lot, but it definitely keeps you busy what

with lines and going multiple times on rides.

We both liked Tassie's Twister the best, & went on it 3 times!

It's a water tunnel that goes into a drop, which opens into this massive funnel.

You have to go with someone else (minimum 2 people), but in the funnel you go

up and down the sides from the momentum from the tunnel!  It's really fun.  

(we got deckchairs nearby the lazy river to eat lunch on)

(dippin' dots ice cream!)

(I got so tan)

I'm a bit sad - didn't get a lot of photos because I left my phone & backpack in a day locker.

(I asked a guard and he said they don't really get thefts at all there, but tbh

I don't think anyone left things like wallets/phones in their bags.  I saw really

few bags left around the place, most people got lockers.)

If you're in San Diego I'd recommend going!  It's really good for kids,
but it's also fun for a date or if you want to go with a bunch of friends. c:

Cucumber Point Pad Mask Review

Here's a review for PureSmile's "Cucumber Point Pads"!

They come in cucumber, strawberry, orange, lemon, and kiwi.

Each different type has the extract of the corresponding fruit/veggie!

Here's the front and the back of the package (I already opened it

before I remembered to take photos!)

There's an ingredient list and a description - the purpose is to brighten and soften skin!

There are 10 point pads in each packet.  

Each pad is basically like a mini-face mask, you can put it on a particular spot.

They're paper circles in a sort of clear gel liquid which has phyto-collagen, cucumber extract,

and portulaca oleracea extract.  The size is about enough to cover most of your cheek!

The photo on the back of the package suggests putting them on your cheeks 

or the tops of your feet (?!).  NOTE:  Although they ARE cucumber-shaped,

I don't think/recommend you put them on your eyes - go get some real cucumber for that!

(Or you could put it on your forehead.)

I picked up Cucumber and Strawberry for about $1.68USD per packet, at

the Mitsuwa in SD.  They ran out of them there last I checked, but Marukai

Living (a block down from Mitsuwa on Mercury St.) has all the different kinds in stock!

The first time I used these I put them on my cheeks, and the skin did feel a bit plumper and

definitely soft afterwards.  I left them on for 10 minutes which is pretty standard for paper face masks.

I have dry spots on my cheeks, forehead, and the tip of my nose, so I'd recommend these if you

have similar skin that's only dry in certain areas.  

Life update!

Hello everyone!

I really did mean to be more active so far this summer.

However since I started working at SW, I've either been at work 

or out job searching every day.
(That was a lot of traveling and filling out applications...)

I have a bunch of new reviews and photoposts all set to go,

and next Tuesday I'm going to visit SW's new waterpark in San Diego,

called AQUATICA.  (I get free admish because I work for them, hehheheh.)

Expect a post on that as well!

Finally, I have two big potential life-changing events that may be coming up.
#2's possibility depends on whether or not #1 happens, and I should find out by
Saturday!  I don't want to jinx myself so I'll wait till I know before I post an announcement. c:
(#1 and #2 are the main reason I've basically been offline since June, so it's a relief that the
prep's all done and soon I'll know what's coming in my near future.)

Coronado Island c:

Hi everyone!  I've been working a lot so I haven't updated with any reviews and such - sorry!!

But!  This Tuesday was my day-off so I spent the day at Coronado Island with A~ c:

 It was pretty grey in the morning around 11/12ish, then warmed up a bit.
There were WILD DOLPHINS right off the beach, two with
a baby - I love dolphins, I've never seen wild ones that close (they were literally
maybe 50 feet from me~).

 Then we walked around the island and went to a really cute old movie theater.
It's called the Coronado Vintage Village Theater (long name!), on Orange Avenue!
It used to be shut-down and boarded-up when I was in highschool here, but
a couple of years ago it was renovated and reopened.

 They have a couple new movies usually, and then I think
they show feature matinees (?) of old classic films.
Movies are kinda pricy for a little theater - 10.50 regular, but the first showings of
the day are 8.50 and they have senior/military discounts.
Imho it's a really fun and charming experience, pretty worth it. c:
(Anyway you can go to AMC any old time)

The Lone Ranger was quite funny, idk about the original sadly since I've
never seen the old TV series but I'd recommend it.  It gets a little
dark in some places, but it's pretty family-friendly.
(There were a lot of older folks watching it - I had a feeling they used to be
fans of the TV series way back then c: )

We were in a pretty tiny room (there's 3 rooms) with maybe 25 seats.
It's super oldschool inside though, with really nice paintings of places in San Diego
on the walls, & blacklights!  (Protip: the aircon is blasting so it's SO COLD,
bring a sweater or something if you're going to check it out c: )

So that was my Tuesday - it was a really nice break,
especially since I had to work at 6:30 this morning. :X

I'll be uploading a review later this week for the spot cucumber mask that I posted before,
as well as some cute, fun, and inexpensive ideas for outings in SD this summer. c:
(A and I are both pretty broke college/ex-college students so we're masters at fun on a budget!)
