[LiLcHiNiTa777]

[stalkergirl1290]

[lunakiitty]

You're funny. :)

[Giulia36369]

I tried this mask using papaya in place of avocado. Is it ok for my skin?thank you:)

[KieuTx]

avocadoo + condensed milk ^^

i've been eating it like that since i was 5 or 6 ~~ =3

[SHINeeB2STxx]

Thank you so much for this :) I always knew avocado was good for your skin, but i never tried it. Now that i know this, i shall try! Btw is that Junsu's You are so beautiful i hear? Omg i love that song :D

[Ella020115]

I always make smoothies out of them :) Just scoop some in a blender, add condensed milk, milk or soy milk, ice and blend!

[KMPDoodlebug]

Hey you should try this; get an avacado, a carrot, a tablespoon on heavy cream, and a tablespoon of honey. Scoop out the avacado into a bowl, heat up the carrot till its mushy then mix it, the cream, and honey in with the avacado, leave it on your face 4 bout 20 minutes. It's amazing1 Try it!!

[memetchiily]

[pellicciosa]

[JenniferBetzabelUrib]

[Cuhlaraa]

[m3loni3kimmi]

LOL ADAVACODO. 1:36

[lsesshoumaruU]

you shouldn't wear too much blush....that color looks wierd on you

[arleht88]

this was made on my 12 b day

[nkp3nss2]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING THE LEMON!!!!

I have extremly oily skin, and for some reason, my cheeks are never dry, always clear of acne, and are never oily, but the rest of my face is like...a fry. (A fry meaning "as oily as a fry")

[yaboo8991]

can you plz do a video of your portfolio and sewing area that would be cool thanks

[xukulalax]

You can eat avocado by slicing it in half and keeping it in the skin sprinkle some sugar on it and eat it with a spoon YUMMEEE.

[cyram81]

@xukulalax i add condensed milk to it! it's so creamy but SO sugary!

[hopesanddreams4life]

I love to eat avocado with crushed ice and condensed milk too, since I'm Vietnamese.

[shanilovenaama]

your rearly beutiful in this vid :)

[MrsSassafras]

emmm, YUM! i love avocado and lemon! i eat that as a dip anyway! lol. but I'm sooo trying this! thanks :)

[LittlemiZZroit]

you remind me of my science teacher. lol

[fuwachii]

i love how you talk about everything in detail :D makes me more informed on wht im putting on my sensitive skin.

[xXENINAJXx]

@gorramshiiny thanks for the info! i'll definitely try it next time i eat an avocado :)

[Lupitaa713]

I lovee the way she puts so much information about whatever she's using!!!!((((((:

[coffeemanac]

This actually broke me out :(

[MaidOfCake]

@coffeemanac Everyone's skin is different you can't expect everything to work for you.

[mommak10]

you are so gorgeous! I will definately try the avacado mask. :) Will it get really messy when I wash it off?

[AmaiS2Ai]

Partway through the video I couldn't listen anymore.. I was too distracted by realizing Se7en was playing in the background. DX(I was like, WHAT!! Is my itunes up!? I was so freaking out..) I kept having to go back.. Hahah. XD Maybe I learned more that way!? =X

[sockstealingnome]

@bunnyhop93 You can buy it from any drugstore or Walmart etc. With any tinted moisturizer, the coverage is sheer, so no, it doesn't completely cover up any marks. If you're really self-conscious, you could use concealer. I just prefer using it over caking my face with foundation because your skin can breathe better and you can wear it for longer. Stress IS a big factor. I used to break out a lot more in high school when I was super stressed out and like you, I never realized I was stressed...

[nessa887]

I love your DIY videos, one of my favorites is your toner one. I did have a question for you. Do you have any tips for drier skin? I tend to have breakouts whenever I sweat a lot, but it seems that whenever I use a product, or dries out my face more than it helps with blemish control. I've tried many products to no avail. What do you think would help?

[Stargurl180]

OMFGGGG ITS IM GOING CRAZY <33333 SE7ENNNN <3 lol yes.. I am going to freak out :O

[sockstealingnome]

@bunnyhop93 Also, if you want glowing skin, look into Aveeno tinted moisturizer. It has light reflecting particles in it that will make your skin look as if it has a nice glow to it. Plus, it's non-comedogenic so it won't clog your pores and the soy complex is designed to help even out the color and texture of the skin. If you have oily skin though, be sure to carry around oil blotting papers. I've been using it as a substitute for foundation and I really like it so far.

[sockstealingnome]

@bunnyhop93 I agree. Her skin looks great. Don't know if she's highlighted or if it's just naturally like that. My skin is kind of the same as yours. It just hasn't been reacting to products at all but will freak out if I so much as miss a day of cleansing. I think our problem might be that our skin is getting used to the products we're using. I hear that you should cycle products that work for you every two months to keep it from building an immunity.

[sockstealingnome]

Meh it feels like such a waste to make it into a mask. I'd rather just eat them. I've never had my avocados with condensed milk before. I usually just use regular milk and add sugar. Now I'm curious...

[YoshiPancakesftw]

@xXENINAJXx Grow an avocado tree.

[darcela]

i HATE avacados. they're so green and mushy. bleh! but id be willing to try this the next time my parents decide to buy some. ^^

[UntoldDarkness66]

i LOVE avocado, but unfortunately i haven't eaten any in a while :(

by the way, do you happen to know the uses of cactuses, there's a mexian cactus that can be eaten and i want to know what other benefits it has :)

[samantha17295]

some how she look a lot different compare to last year :-?

[babynur96]

What contacts are u using? :D

[MaisarahDH]

you look like black lively in this video :)

[ArbrusMN]

so don't be so mean to you ;D

Just don't overuse your contacs. And everybody can guess that you're wearing contacs..because asians do have brown eyes in most cases. Haha but who cares I wear yellow and red devlish contacs and they're unnatural too :3

Oooh..sorry for spamming you O.O

I'm a little bored right now...would you've guessed that XD

Just one more thing: you're very mean to that poor avocado u_u

[ArbrusMN]

Ehehehee..^_^" I just thought of two more thing sorry for bothering again...but I just noticed that I do not even know your name D: you don't really use it often in your videos..or my memory is bad if so, I'm sorry

-_-'

Ugh I have to stop apologyzing -.-

You really look awesome without make-up

Such flawless skin and beautiful big eyes

...but I saw a respond of you saying that you want to hide your dirty little secrets. I'm sure that you're a very nice smart and loving person so don't be so me

[ArbrusMN]

I'm truely sorry if it appeared so. I'm just worried about you...well well enough of my silly pointlessnes -_-

[ArbrusMN]

What country are you from? Please do net get me wrong but you said you would talk about the seed of the avocado later on...but you didn't u_u nah just kidding ;P

Hmm you really should drink milk without calcium you are more likely to get osteo..whatever it may be called in english. Well this illness/sickness (btw what's the difference between those two?) where your bones tend to break...you probabky do already know this as a bio nerd I really don't wanted to question your knowledge in biology I

[kary213]

uh... condensed milk and soy milk doesn't have calcium if i recall correctlly?

[Oceansbetweenuss]

youre head is so big



[kary213]

@Oceansbetweenuss it's "your" not "you're" please learn english before you insult others.

[AndreaInspired]

Avacado, cucumber, olive oil and a little bit of garlic salt is sooooo delicious, you should try it! I like it better than regular salad sometimes!

I would definitely make this mask thank you for the DIY! Although it might be hard for me to not want to eat the avacado haha :)

[44Greenwood44]

contacts ruins her eyes... i think contacts are really bad.. it makes people looking kinda... non human.. robotic

[SecretLifeOfaBioNerd]

@44Greenwood44 oh no Mrs. Roboto!!! I wear them because....the eyes are windows to the soul...and I have dirty little secrets in my eyes...bwahahah.

[anticliche321]

I love avocado sooo much I couldn't waist it on my face. :(

[thebubblybubz]

retired?!

why, what happened? :(

[SecretLifeOfaBioNerd]

@thebubblybubz graduated...and didn't want to go to grad school.

[LiveLaughLove8489]

@SecretLifeOfaBioNerd so then what are you doing for work now?

[Kakkoii260]

@SecretLifeOfaBioNerd soooo you have a bio major?

[coolsparkle24]

I'm allergic to avacadoes :( ahaha.

[xxYucaCollabelxx]

"Aztecian"? lol <3



[wendyhang94]

you know who you remind me of in this video; Maggie Q.

[YenieD13]

aww, sorry to hear that your a retired bio-nerd. hopefully you dont lose that part of you. I enjoy learning those tips in your video. (it makes more sense to me)

thaks for the DIY

[laCathiee]

Brilliant video! :D Can you do a hair tutorial on this??

[EmpressComplexity91]

My vietnamese friend taught me that avacado and condensed milk thing. it's SOOO good :)

I really want some now! lol xD

[jjessicajay]

Teach us how to make the soy milk/condensed milk/avacado mix!

[EmpressComplexity91]

@jjessicajay It's easy. Mash up avacado in a cup. add condensed milk. However much you like, but it's sweet so it will depend on how sweet you want it. mix it all together and add ice. :)

[ForeverDanncing]

You look pretty without make-up :D

[MissBluKitten]

Finally at 2:43 :D :))

[iiWACKU]

I'm sorry if my comment "you look less asian!" has offended anyone. i didn't mean to hurt or offend anyone. i thought my comment would just make secretlifeofabionerd laugh! but i guess not. people took it the wrong way. secretlifeofabionerd please don't take my comment to heart. i apologize. sorry.

[SecretLifeOfaBioNerd]

@iiWACKU haha nah...it's not a big deal. I get much worse comments then you look less Asian. At least you cleared it up right and that's very honorable! ^_^"

[vuldafer]

Ok, so for people with dry skin it's just a mashed avocado.. without the lemon? lol

[chibis1386]

Do you think you can make a unicorn beanie ;)?

[Bending4Life]

You're so pretty!

[angelitalin]

did you make that beanie?!

i really like it :D

lol

[TracyHang]

is it just me or does secretlifeofbionerd looks mixed in this vid?

[LinaBeana30]

Me & my dad LOVEE eating avocado with lemon juice (:

[endimango]

omg, did you get skinnier??? i don't watch youtube all the time so it's been a long time since i've seen...omg EAT SOME FOOD!

[dreamfulish]

U should make a video from all the things u get

[TheMissicute]

If you do have sunburn ,do you still have to add lemon? :) xx

[jrdollaga]

ur new hair color looks awesome!

[eEberlinsg]

What was that thing you used when cleaning the avocado off your face? It looked totally awesome!

[ILilieMai]

YOU DONT LIKE AVOCADOS??!!!!??! EAT THEM WITH SUGAR!!! GOOD XD

[Smileyqueen07]

hey! i love you videos!! im just wondering how did u get ur hair that colour? i been trying to blonde my hair but it always turns gineger right now it looks like honey colour. what did u to ur hair to make it look like that? thankss reply asap! :) xx

[heyitseileen]

"WRINKLY POO POO LOOKING THING"

LOOOOOL

[elocinsky]

You look like an asian J.Lo! Pretty :)

[ap0350]

mmm.... makes me hungry :D

[cindyphantastic]

Woww.. what kind of hair dye did you use? It looks great!

[Ash2theB]

No wonder am allergic to the Olive oil but i can eat avocado and my mom is allergic Avocado but she can eat olives lol.

[Ash2theB]

Wow don't judge a book by cover. . .stereotyping ppl is irritating and it probably hasn't happen to u so i feel a lil sad that haven't experience but at the same time some ppl should learn from there experiences.

[HaiImClarakins]

Just because an Asian dyes their hair a lighter colour shouldn't make them "less Asian". If a brunette dyes their hair black no one immediately says "You look Asian!" So c'mon watch what you say because you can hurt other people's feelings and to some people, it makes you seem trashy/rude.

[danniigurl111]

@HaiImClarakins and it makes people seem closed minded

[kellyjellyfishie]

can you eat it after your done?

[bravoameliabedelia]

just get to the video you kinda make the intro long and it drives me crazy because of all the buffering

[Tinkerbellez1983]

@bravoameliabedelia thats how she did it with all her videos, dont like it.... dont watch it!!! 

[bravoameliabedelia]

@Tinkerbellez1983 im giving her feedback on what i think .okay!

[SecretLifeOfaBioNerd]

@bravoameliabedelia so you want to see a video of me slathering on avocados and then washing my face? Then how do you know if it works for you and you don't learn anything......

[bravoameliabedelia]

@SecretLifeOfaBioNerd i actually didnt finish seeing hte video because of all the stoping it did but i would like if you just show how you made it and stuff half the video was about hte avocado! the learning i kinda already knew some of the stuff you said and if i wanted to know more i would of just looked it up. i just wanted to see how you made the mask

[TayuyaKyuu]

@SecretLifeOfaBioNerd Maybe putting a link to the video part where the diy/application part starts in th description box would help people who cannot be buffering for a long time.

[MyPinkiPod1010]

i think her hair is pretty right now

[ChatDiva125]

I liked it better when you showed your bangs. And when your hair was darker. :P

But anyways,

"I enjoy doing it." TWSS. Love the video, helped me a lot. <3

[XxXSakuraHimeXxX]

I'm goin crazy crazy! :D

I really want to try this! 

[cutiepiedaina]

yu look too shineeey D:

[merfquerf]

You have such great taste in music :]

[Kacsachan]

cool :)

[xXENINAJXx]

can you talk more about the seed? i love avocados and sometimes i'll end up having a bunch of pits left over. but if i can do something with them, then i would much rather do that then just throw them away.

[gorramshiiny]

@xXENINAJXx Not sure if this has been said, but you can use the pit to grow an avocado plant! Take a few toothpicks and poke them into the sides of the pit, so you can then balance it on the top of a glass of water. The idea is to let part of the seed become hydrated by the water, while not letting the whole thing fall into the glass. Then, keep it in front of a window or in a sunny area where it can stay warm and grow! After a few weeks, it will crack/sprout and be ready to plant in a pot :)

[colorfulmonkeys19]

are you going to a-kon dallas this year?

[glasspaper1116]

avokie is too expensive for a face mask...

[mkyluvley]

se7en's going crazy as the background music ... yay!

[sweetnluvly07]

Or you can make pico de gallo!! I just ate a pico de gallo sandwhich as I watched the vid... it was funny... I'm def gonna try this with the rest of the avocado that I havent sliced yet right now... my chin is always always always DRY!

[MakeMagicWithMe]

You look so ready for summer! Cute hair! :3

[iTuttefruit]

ur hair looks pretty

[TheStrawwwberry]

i don't wanna be mean but i think your hair color make you look older :/ i like the darker more

[SammiSweetz]

Your hair is a beautiful color . Itsnot as good as your dark hair but its grea that you like t change up [:

[therandomness64]

i still dont know where we vote for the contest!?

[iAMbo0bs]

i love eating avocado with shaved ice, carnation milk, and sugar MMMM

[TheWitchvortex]

Avocado+Olive Oil mix is good for your hair too ^^ !

[Spaceydoodle]

my fav thing to do with an avocado is make a smoothie. I put in about 1/3 of the avocado, one banana, a cup or so of almond milk and a splash of vanilla. blend it and it's delicious!!! :)

[syncha91]

AVACADO ICECREAM is the best!!!

[XxMarliesxX]

Now I know what to do with avacado.... ate one once.. its discusting :S

[MsDollface1984]

Your darker hair is alot better. this color makes your complexion a lil more dull.

[louzinha91]

Thumbs up for home made avocado smoothie!!! Sooooo Goood!!! =)

[LuvinTheAznLife]

aww.

i love how you said avocado.

"adovocado." ahaha :3

[LiesbethMicha]

So my mothertongue is Dutch and I watch a lot of videos of English native speakers because it's a fun way to improve my language knowledge (studying to be an interpreter as well) but can you tell/explain me what an 'inflammatory system' is?

I can't find it in any of my dictionaries. Is it the immune system?

[LiesbethMicha]

@LiesbethMicha

And hey! You said you'd talk about the seed later on but you didn't :D

I was very curious to find out how to work with the advocado seed..

[throughtheotherside]

@LiesbethMicha Wiki "inflammation'. 

[x3faded]

What song is it playing at the back?



[ILikeCookies3333]

take the hat off :) its distracting ; D

[inglebritt]

bizarre factoid: Avacadoes were seen as a symbol of love because they look like droopy testicles 0.0

[TheRyleeAnn]

is that tattoo by jordin sparks?

[StoneWallFlower]

@SecretLifeOfaBioNerd would you do a video on the affects of vitamins on your skin? or one on Pore Size and whether products scientifically can make a difference to pores?

[vannatrinh]

I still don't get why people say organic produce is better; "try to get organic... it's better for you."

[heyxvictoria]

@vannatrinh organic fruits use either less or no pesticide.

[mle011]

@vannatrinh I know what you mean. Since no pesticides are used in organic products, they are more likely to have bugs, insects, and other pests in them. So maybe organic products have more protein? lol They are not any "healthier" than regular produce, they're just more expensive and people feel "green".

[fizzysassafrass]

@mle011 The issue is that the pesticides don't just go away when you pick the fruit. Even after washing, the pesticides the plant took in while growing are in the fruit, and these are not chemicals that do nice things to your body if you build up enough of them in your system. That's why organic produce is "better for you" - because it's less likely to contribute to such a build-up of toxic chemicals in your body.

[rocknurworld4evr]

avocados are fruits?? i totally didn't know that, but then again it doesen't really seem like a vegetable.

[inglebritt]

@rocknurworld4evr Anything that has seeds on the inside is a fruit :)

[inglebritt]

@aznchelly Right actually, as Strawberries aren't a fruit, they're a pseudocarp also known as a false fruit, or accessory fruit :)

[iBeyondDesires]

x.x what is this song....

[oyukylarevista]

you look so pretty...like your makeup.....nice tips.thankz

[eskimolipss]

Avocados are the list of least likely to be infected with pesticides because of its thick protective skin. Just went over this is Nutrition class. Go organic with thin skinned fruits/veggies such as apples, pears, lettuce..etc

[rahrahritaa]

avocado, milk, and sugar!!! :D

**to eat.. idk about on your face lol

[dakotahjadee]

i love your new hair, i've been trying to get it that color for a while! i even used the same hair dye, but no luck :/

[bluecornmuffin21]

I don't care whether she looks white. Cuz we know she's Asian. And that doesn't matter either, cuz we're in 2011. And she makes good videos. Love avocado.

[scarlettrose11]

that avocado is weird. Here avocados are green even when it's ready to eat, not black. lol

[Sophiaroxursox331]

@scarlettrose11 where do u live i live in the us and there always black haha

[EleaNor101EleaNor]

@Sophiaroxursox331

haha In Israel we have the green and the black.

[scarlettrose11]

@Sophiaroxursox331 Puerto Rico :) They r pretty and delicious haha

[kissiebooashes]

I <3 avocado.

It is the magic fruit.

And avocado smoothie = yummy in my tummy!

^.^

[kaymizzai]

i love eating it in a burger and as a dip for chips. yum. :]

my friend drinks an avocado smoothie with tapioca? he says its good, but i've never tried it.

[dollieproductions]

[meggoflower]

[LikeVines2113]

[bravoameliabedelia]

1:34 lmao

[ttl0216]

love your hair color. Great video btw.

[R0ckChyld]

Oh hey there Se7en. :3

This is why I love your videos! Not only is the subject matter fabulous, but your choice in background music is too ^___^

[pinkksoda]

I've read that it isn't important to choose an organic avocado over a regular one simply because it's skin is so thick and isn't eaten so the pesticides aren't consumed. I haven't seen any formal testing done, but it's just something to keep in mind.

[aznpanda100]

@SimplyAwesome15 It's called "I'm Going Crazy by Se7en."

[kelseyheartscomesify]

I love the science behind this not the regular "Avocado is great for your skin...Yeah."

[katherinechunky]

LOL, I grow my aloe vera. when I want an aloe vera leaf, I go to my back yard. x3

amazing stuff, I got a stupid big bite on my leg, and I rubbed a bit of it on the bite in the morning, and at night, it was GONE.

[chiddy11]
