As an East Asian (Japanese) I feel like you’re fine with trying new things with your eye makeup. I think the thing to check with yourself is “do I like this, or do I like this only because it’s an East Asian thing?” I find that the line between cultural appropriation and appreciation stems from appreciating something for what it is vs liking something only because it comes from a specific culture. That’s where I think people can take it too far. If you just like to accentuate your eyes a certain way because you like how it looks, you do you. That’s my 2 cents
Two things: The juice: - usually the price is because they use fruits and vegetables that aren’t covered in the same acids and products usually used in farming production. Also of course the fact it’s pre-made. But the addition of extra proteins and stuff increases the price as well. About 5-6 dollars a bottle? Sounds pretty good considering it keeps you full longer and helps you avoid spending money on other small snacks. The E-A Baiting: - to be a fisher/baiter, you have to act that way AND try to appear that way. “That way” as in stereotypes. Doing one thing alone won’t make you a baiter or fisher
I get your worry with the aegyo-sal makeup. I’ve seen convos on tiktok from people who naturally have them and they see it as someone contouring their nose or their cheekbones. It’s not baiting at all. People who think it’s “East Asian baiting” are mostly white people talking over East Asian people and what they think is appropriate. And I feel you with the wrinkles/eye bags under my eyes. I’ve leaned into them more and actually got a lot more compliments on my makeup when I exaggerate them 🫶🏻
Go experiment with your makeup if it makes you happy! :) I don't feel like it would be asian-baiting, people often stretch the word and it trivializes the issue (and it is often targeted at really young people that don't know what they're doing or people that naturally have features like "slanted" eyes) For me asian-baiting is more when people who fetishize K-pop or anime do everything to become how they perceive Asians to be, which is kind of a caricature and that feels gross... They take things which we have been shamed about and paste it on themselves to receive praise, but at the end of the day they get to remove it all. They take a part of our culture and strip away everything they don't like, ignore the issues because they don't fit their daydreams. You can like anything you want, but some people just take it too far into obsession and it's creepy.
I really love these vlogs. You're so down to Earth, it's like having a friend keep you company. Also, your lashes look amazing in the beginning of the video (and after)!!!
I love how one second your contemplating juice and then next its a fit check 😂 truly stream of consciousness vibes like i’m talking to a friend on FaceTime
Hey! Ngl I love your vlogs, they're really comforting and entertaining. And I love that you're being more consistent. Also if you wanna post more sims videos ik we'll love it. 💕
your concealer- i had a similar problem w the tarte shape tape + benefit primer and for me. it looked like smeary and crumbly?? idk I just stopped using that primer under my eyes and do my concealer blended in like 4 v thin layers
I live in Austin and also park under a tree at my apartment and I’ve noticed the same residue on my car. No idea what it is lol I also thought it was sap or something. My car looks so gross now :/
a note on the pronunciation of 'aegyo-sal': an approximate english pronunciation would be said like "eggyo-sal". with the "e" in "egg" being as you'd expect and the "a" in "sal" being close to the "a" in "sal*A*d". like a mix of an "ah" and an "uh" (not saying that to be nit-picky or negative at all! i'm learning korean and love language and have studied linguistics and will take any opportunity to infodump!)

WHEN YOU ASKED YOUR ALEXA WHAT THE WHETHER WAS, MY ALEXA WENT OFF LMAO
I'm Chinese and get my dark circles from my college classes 😂 I don't need make up for that
U can also hire a person/friend to help u with ur job items
could be that ur using a water based primer with a silicon based concealer or the latter could be wrong but just a thought
