Today I celebrate my first year anniversary here in Beauty Bento Box.

This Asian beauty blog has been around since May 2007 but I only came on board this day last year. Though I’m a fashion blogger by heart, taking on this blog has broadened my horizon.

It allowed me to learn new things as I trekked and immersed myself in the world of beauty blogging. I’ve met wonderful beauty bloggers and have had great fortune in interacting with fabulous readers.

It amazes how people have embraced this blog’s existence and grew to love the effort I’ve put in it. The past year has been filled with surprising positive feedback that I can’t help but be grateful. I’ve managed to take with me great things that I didn’t dare imagine I’d ever experience. Thank you all for your continued patronage.

Yea, it has truly been a year of beauty for me. I can only wish for another beautiful year ahead.

Go and grab a virtual champagne glass. Celebrate with me!

Here’s to more conversations on beauty and everything else that makes life beautiful!

Cheers!

I just found out that Beauty Bento Box is in the Beauty Publisher list for the 2008 Glam Network Awards.

The “Vote for Me” button is still not available yet on the sidebar (still waiting on my editor) but I’m letting you beauties know that you’re already free to vote (vote for me!). Just click on the button I’ve provided below.

I don’t know how my beauty blog got in. I’m not sure who to thank, so whoever is responsible, know that I’m thankful!

P.S. You can also vote for my fashion blog, Tops 2 Bottoms!

Asians are a bunch of superstitious people but I’m not generalising, ok? Most of us are. Personally, I’m aware of the superstitions but they don’t carry much weight to the general direction of my life. I mean, if a superstition would hinder me from taking a shower on a hot and humid day, do you really think I’d give a damn about the former? I’m taking that shower, heck, I’ll even jump in the nearest pool for all I care. Heh.

Bottomline, whatever it is that is believed to come with the date today, I refuse to accept it. It will not stop me from picking up that eyelash curler or dabbing some tea tree oil or celebrating the launch of this new beauty blog. Last I checked (around two posts ago) Beauty Bento Box has, 17 posts with 17 comments in 17 categories anyway. That’s got to mean something good, right? Hmmm. And I thought I wasn’t superstitious. LOL.

Welcome everyone, feel free to subscribe to the Bento feed and keep yourself updated and I hope you enjoy your stay!

Ah, the joys of playing dress up.

I grew up leaning towards boyish activities and that’s one of the main reasons I dropped makeup and all the girl-y things. Most of my classmates in highschool were starting to put on powder, eye liner and lipstick as I strangely look on wondering why I’m drawn to it and why I’m not doing it myself. I even watched my sister put on makeup one day then said, “Yech. Makeup! You’ll never catch me wearing makeup!” Then years passed, growing up an awkward female. Until I entered the world of fashion.

There was a period in my life when I had hated the colour of my brown skin (twas during highschool, too). My mum can only shake her head as she watch me go through product after product just to make my skin lighter, fairer. I had believed in the myth that having a light skin tone will automatically make you beautiful. I had desperately wanted to be pretty (yes, me and my childhood insecurities, heh). Twas only later on that I realised that it doesn’t really matter, anyone and everyone can look beautiful. We just need to learn how to embrace ourselves. I know it sounds cheesy as hell but hey it’s true, learn to love yourself and you will look lovely I’m sure.

Hi, I’m Sasha and I’m an Asian. I mainly blog about fashion over at Tops 2 Bottoms and Style Manila. Been at it for the past couple of years. But now, I’m here to let you in on the secrets of Asian Beauty. Er, not that there’s any at all. LOL. Though, I’ve heard quite a number of people comment on how beautiful the skins of Asians are. I often get compliments about mine when I travel or friends I meet online and they’d see my photos. Well, enough about that.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you all and engage in all the conversations we’ll have on Asian Beauty. I’m planning to share beauty finds on skin care, makeup, and even hair care if it’s possible. Also, if you want me to tell you my own personal beauty regimen and makeup application techniques, just let me know. I’ll be more than happy to share.

Feel free to shoot me an email at sasha [@] b5media [.] com if you want to throw some questions my way.

Keep me company, alright? Boy, am I glad to be here! Thanks for the opportunity, CJ! And welcome back to Beauty Bento Box!
