But now I tend to focus more on proper skincare and less on actual makeup, especially during the rainy season.

I find that the fewer products you need, the better by focusing on proper skin care.

You save money on makeup products and save time getting ready.

And when you have to wake up azaleas ideo those extra snooze minutes are much appreciated.

If someone had told me 10 years ago that I'd be living in a foreign country, working in foreign media and speaking a foreign language, I probably wouldn't have believed them.

But I guess in reality between then and now wasn't exactly a straight line.

Lots of people ask for advice on how to get similar jobs, but I think the best advice I can give you is to have the courage to follow your own path.

You might be surprised that where it can take you.

I know I waas and even though we're kind of a mixed bag of co workers, these are some of the coolest people I've ever known in my whole way, way, way, way.

Wait this way.

That way.

By the time I leave the radio station, it's only 10 a.m. But I've already been up in about for almost six hours, so I'm pretty hungry.

It's time to head downtown and find something really good to eat.

Something I really love about Fukuoka is how modern its cuisine is.

You're never really restricted to anything to traditional or to Western.

As long as you know what you want.

You're bound to find what you're looking for.

In this case, I wanted something healthy, but not really.

And so I went for an avocado and snow crab cream I love.

It was still beating when I first came to Fukuoka.

I could spend endless hours just wandering around and exploring eight years later, and I still feel the same way, meandering from one area to the next time flies and before you know what the day is already over.

And although I'm pretty much ready to call it a day, there's still one more important thing I have to D'oh!

I'm glad I had a power nap on the bus.

I have energy to play with dog.

What's this catch?

No, it's good word.

The first thing I do when I get home for the day is take off all my makeup.

A little trick that I learned is to use cotton pads as a makeshift face mask.

When applying lotion to your face, leave them on for 5 to 10 minutes while the mass restores a healthy balance to your skin.

So what The year 24 hours look like?

Let me know in the comments.

Or, if you're feeling ambitious, make a video about it and let me know.

Looking forward to seeing all of your responses.

I'm going to bed now.
