Me and my alleged doppleganger
Rise and shine, morning glory! I hope you slept well.
So, I received an invite this week to the San Francisco premiere and after party of a new Ali Wong (a.k.a. my doppelganger) motion picture pertaining to Netflix may 31. The movie’s called always Be My Maybe, and it takes place in SF.

I wasn’t planning on going because 1) it’s on a Tuesday, which is a school night for me; and 2) it doesn’t start until 7…which for me is the equivalent of midnight.
I’m pretty sure I’d pass out!
I’m so not kidding either. these days I start turning into a pumpkin at 4 every afternoon. Lately, I’ve been eating dinner at 5, and then I shower and put on my pajamas by 6. By 8:30 I’m in the middle of my first REM cycle.

That’s just where I’m at in life ideal now…
As I was saying, I wasn’t going to go to the premiere, but I’m thinking about changing my mind now because it would be kinda funny to see how lots of people I could trick into thinking I’m Ali Wong. I don’t really see it, but I’ve been told I bear a striking resemblance to her.
Yeah, we’re both Asian and partial to statement eye wear. and I guess we might’ve looked similar from certain angles when my hair was longer, but I don’t feel like we look that similar.
Anyway, if we really do look like long lost twins, I wonder how lots of people I could deceive at the premiere… could I get all up in some selfies? would they get identified #Ali on Instagram? In other words, how far could I push the joke? HA HA HA!
I would absolutely do it if I wasn’t so tired. this week I started a new cutoff time for coffee and I’m hurtin’. No caffeine after 12! I know! The afternoons have been rougher than low-cost toilet paper.

Memorial Day appeal sales from Ulta, Sephora and more
I’m a fan of AmorePacific skin care. For a while, their exfoliator was my ride-or-die when my chin was breaking out. They’re launching a new line this summer at Sephora called Primera, and all of the products are made with some type of plant or fruit seeds.
Speaking of seeds, people have feelings about the safety of using exfoliating walnut scrubs on your face.
Did you know you can get Sunday Riley on Amazon? They’re also starting to offer one-day shipping with Prime soon, too (in case you need that bottle of good Genes in a jiffy).
FINALLY. Victoria Beckham will be launching her new appeal brand online soon (it’ll have makeup and skin care), and I have high hopes. I love her makeup collabs with Estée Lauder.

I’m not much of a gamer (my idea of the best video game was Tetris on game kid circa 1992), but I’m fascinated by how far CGI has taken digital hair. Apparently, hair is a big deal in computer graphics, and companies are working hard to create realistic-looking hair on screen.
