Hello Spring

2012-04-09T00:04:00.001-07:00

I said I would post a picture of an outfit with these shoes. Sadly I haven't taken them out until now!! But I am pleased with what I came up with! ^-^ This is my "hello spring!" outfit haha
Yea~ don't mind the awkward laugh in this.. I was in a public speaking practice for a conference we had haha Btw, I will be going to disneyworld in 3 days for my 21st birthday! :) Hope everyone is doing great!

Jacket: Romwe, Skirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Steve by Steve Madden

I got this new awesome jacket from the site ROMWE. I Love it so much. I think the fur lining on the collar should've been better, but regardless, I think I can get a lot of awesome outfits from this.

I've been wanting shoes in this style for a while now and I found the perfect ones! I normally gravitate towards black or nude but I loved this bright orange. I think it can match with almost every color and it would be great for spring and summer. It's actually my first colored shoe lol I will be trying to make a blog comeback ( I always say this :p) I'll be trying to feature this in upcoming posts!

Nooby to LUSH

2012-01-03T00:00:00.000-08:00

We did a gift exchange at work & on my wishlist were lush items. There's so much hype and I've never tried it so, I decided that's what I wanted. My co-worker got me the "bunty" gift set which was perfect because everything smelled good, the wrapping was adorable, and it had bath bombs which I was after! I tried the butter ball bath bomb and after that, I fell in love.

My other co-worker also got me the "sex bomb" bath bomb which is so purtty~

Then I went back when they were having their 'buy one get on free' on holiday products and gift sets. I got two of the santa bath bombs and the present ones. (Sorry I don't know the names and i'm too lazy to look it up lol) I haven't tried them yet, but they smell so good! I heard the present one turns the water green and has glitter oooOOooo~

I got two soaps: Honey I washed the kids & Porridge

I've only tried porridge and it made my skin soft and I really like the oats that are in it. It's a nice, gentle exfoliator. My sister got one of those exfoliator bars...the ones they claim you don't need to apply lotion after the shower... I'm no help. I seriously need to learn names! BUT she said she likes it so far. Anyway, I fear that we might turn into a lush junkies, but we'll see after we finish all of these products first! I do want to try lush color supplement. Anyone try it? Anyone becoming a lush junkie like the rest of the world? I need to stop watching videos and reading blogs. I'm too easy when it comes to these things... :}

I'm inconsistent

2011-10-10T18:33:00.000-07:00

I finally found some way to incorporate the Astoria necklace into my wardrobe.

If you haven't tried these, I advise you to stop by your Olive Garden and order some Zeppoli's! They're kinda like donuts..They don't look like much but these babies are sooooooo GOOD! You get them warm and the sugar around it melts in your mouth. Did I mention the chocolate sauce. OHH MYY~~ Its perfect. Sweet, but not too much. Try them because you're missing out!
This is how I store my shoes. I haven't bought any lately.. I think it might be because I don't have any more squares to put them in.. or it's because I'm just broke haha

On the left are just 2 pairs of tennis shoes- one for running and one for casual wear.

The middle is where I keep all of my heels and booties. I also have a few on top of the squares.

The organizer on the right is where I have some flats and my knee length boots.

How do you guys store your shoes?

Update: Ever had the feeling where you look in the mirror and you feel like you look good.. then when you see yourself in a picture you look fat!? YEA.. I kinda got chubby this year so I'm trying to lose 10 lbs. with my mom and sister. Wish us luck. I have these sporadic diet & exercise plans which never work, but hey, I least I'm always willing to try again! But, this time I'm REALLY serious..lol

Also, my sister and I purchased this super good deal on groupon for laser hair removal and were planning on getting our mustaches gone. I'll try to document and let you know how it goes, just in case anyone is interested. Has anyone tried it?

I've been lazy and busy with school to post, but I'll harder! (I always say that :p)

Revlon precision lash adhesive & duo comparison

2011-09-12T12:25:00.001-07:00

I got my mom into falsies which is pretty funny so she snagged my duo lash glue! I've been wanting to try this one out because I heard a few good things about it and as I remember it was a little cheaper than the duo lash glue.
It comes with a thin brush applicator which I must say is a little annoying just because I feel it doesn't pick up a lot of product and I have to keep dipping it in the tube to get more product. BUT it is nice because you do get "precise" application on the lashes. You don't get messy and spillage like you get with the duo lash glue if you're not to careful.
I took me by surprise because it came out blue which I think is a good thing so that you can see the product on the lash. You don't have to wait a few seconds for the glue to get tacky, you can just apply it to the eye right away. I feel that you have to work kind of fast because I feel that it dries fast.

I do love this product because it stays put. I don't have the inner corners or outer corners of the lashes flaking off which I've always experienced with the duo lash glue.

So the final verdict is a 4.0/5.0. I like the precise application and that the lashes stay put on the eye and that the corners of the eyelashes stay put! It's also not messy.
But I don't like that I have to keep dipping the brush in to get more product because you do need a good amount on there and it dries a little quicker than I'd like.
I like the revlon lash glue as much as I like the duo lash glue; they're both great. I love that the revlon keeps the corners in and I love that the duo glue doesn't dry as fast. Hope the review helped!

Jewelmint! Review.. I guess

2011-09-04T22:47:00.000-07:00

Just a recap on my life: I didn't go on vacation, but I did take a break from everything (being lazy, eating & gaining lbs, chillin`, watching tv, yadda yadda). It was really nice haha I FEEL SO BAD I totally negelected my blog. I've been taking pictures and what not, but I've just been lazy to post! I'm so sorry! I'm back now! I think I say that all the time.. hahaha

Anyway~ I made a purchase from jewelmint because they were having that $8.99 deal when you make your first purchase. I actually open two accounts long time ago, but I didn't purchase anything because I really think $30 is pretty steep for a piece of jewelry.. I don't know that's my take. BUUUTTT I've been wanting these two pieces for so long so I hopped on the deal and use two of my accounts to get these two necklaces for $8.99 each. bad bad I know~
The boxes are definitely very nice and it came packaged really nice!

Astoria Necklace

Serpentine Necklace

SO about the necklaces.. they feel really sturdy, but I haven't worn them yet :/ Still trying to figure out what to wear them with. I kinda of just got them because I thought they would look nice with this LBD I haven't worn yet. I don't know even know when the next time I'm going out and dressing up, but I thought they would be handy just in case. I've tried them on and they seem really nice and I feel that they would last me a long time.

I feel that I'm going to cancel my jewelmint account because I really feel like it's a little too much for a piece of jewelry. They have a great selection, the items I received are great, the shipping only took 2 days, but with the budget I have, I don't think it's thaaat worth it. Well there's my two cents. Have you guys tried jewelmint? What is your take on the quality and price?

Light as a Feather

2011-08-18T08:33:00.000-07:00

These pictures don't show how long these earrings are, but they're so gorgeous! I've been wanting earrings like this for so long and I finally found them at Love Culture for only $7! It's a pair, but I thought they were such statement earrings that wearing one would be fine. How do you guys style feather earrings? Are you into the feather trend?

I'm not very keen on accessorizing, thus my mini accessory collection. I found these 3 items at Charlotte Russe (duh) and I thought they were a good deal because it was 3 for $10! I thought these pieces were different and beautiful and I'm glad to add them to my collection. I don't usually buy much accessories because I always forget to wear them or I just don't know how to wear them. I sometimes feel too "fancy" if I put on a pair of earrings, but I love buying them just in case I may need them :p Does anyone have any tips on how to accessorize? I'd also love to see how others store their accessories! Until next time~

Cheap Sushi

2011-08-08T20:47:00.000-07:00

My boyfriend, myself, and a few other friends headed to sushiland in Puyallup because all of their sushi is $1! YAY! We love sushi and if we can get it for a dollar, it's worth the drive. Now, if we counted the real prices of the plates, we would've spent a little over $40, BUT we only ended up spending about $20. Good I must saaay~

Btw, this is my boyfriend and my plates combined haha

Camp

2011-08-03T17:46:00.000-07:00

I went camping for 3 days and 2 nights. It was my first time & I had a blast! It was VERY COLD at night, but also very nice during the day. Here are just a few pictures~

Climbed a mountain haha

My siblings! We all look very much alike here!

My boyfriend & I

Crazy weather

2011-07-27T16:32:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting this vitamin C serum (forgot the name) for the longest time, but I have always hesitated to buy it because it's about $23 -___- sooo, I was so happy that I found this at Ross for only $5.99! I'm still trying it out. I haven't seen much difference, but we will see.
The weather is so bipolar and it's pissing me off. It's got me wearing sweaters and a bonnet in summer! It's cold in the morning.. and then hot & sunny a little later in the day. BUT sometimes when I do wear cooler clothes, it decides to stay cold. Of course. When I'm unprepared. Sigh~

YUMM

2011-07-24T20:24:00.000-07:00

:O~ Drools. My momma made some blueberry muffins. To Die For!

These are a few brushes I picked up from Walmart. High Definition Brushes I believe they're called. I think I did a review on the other ones I own? So far I am loving!

2 Goodies + mini review

2011-07-22T22:16:00.000-07:00

I haven't tried many hair masks, but I do love this one so much. I purchased it at Sally's Beauty Supply and it costs only $1.36? something along those lines. VERY affordable & VERY effective. Now, I just want to say that if you have fine hair then this might not do much for you since you're hair is already nice. This mask is for those who have damaged and dry hair. I've used this a few times and it really makes my hair feel healthy again and soft. I feel like the moisture comes back if that makes sense. You leave it on for about 1-2 mins & 2-5 mins if you have really damaged hair & you do this after you shampoo. It says to use everyday if your hair is in really bad shape. I haven't tried it. I've only used it about once every month. I am able to use this packet twice and I have relatively thick hair. It's 100% vegan free for those who love to support. I was about to buy that placenta hair mask that I've heard people talk about, but the lady working in the store said it's actually bad for your hair because it contains bad chemicals and then she recommended the ion treatment to me. PLUS, that placenta mask was about $3-4 (not that it's much more expensive, but you can save a few bucks!) Try it out if you're interested and let me know how it works for you!
I got these awesome sunnies at forever21 for only $1.50! My boyfriend and I have matching pairs now (even though they're for girls) haha!

Such a beautiful peach blusher! It's matte, pigmented, velvety, smells good :3 My boyfriend bought me this as one of my presents this year for my birthday & I love it. ( I tried to make it look so glamorous lol) I spy nail file, applebees box, and bobby pin hahaha!

I love

Have you seen it?

Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipstick in Spotlight beige

I swear this color is discontinued because I can't find it anywhere!! :{ It's my favorite lipstick. It gives me that 'your lips but better' effect.

Say Hello to my natural hair. I was wondering if anyone knew a good product to keep the waves intact, because a few hours later, my hair frizzes and just dies haha
This was one of those lucky days where the sun was out. The past week has been gloomy and rainy I feel like it's fall. >:(

Hope everyone else is enjoying the weather!

"I hope not sporadically"

2011-07-18T14:41:00.000-07:00

I moved into a new house about a month ago & it was very exciting because I finally have my own room. I used to share with my older sister, but now she's across the hallway. I'm really loving the vanity table my mom bought for me. It was very nice of her & I'm very grateful! HAHA I didn't notice my messy bed there until now.. oops. ohh...and little gundam model...and the trash..

My mini makeup collection. Nothing special, but I do love the products that I have!

xoxo

WOW

2011-05-16T21:01:00.000-07:00

HIIII! It's been months. I'm not going to say I'm back because I'm so busy and I know I won't blog so often, but maybe I'll post something here and there. I miss reading blogs and posting blogs! *Random pictures & rambling coming up!

I bought the silver shatter. I think it will only look detailed with dark polish except I haven't tried that yet. Oh, I saw some Sally Hansen shatter nailpolishes at Walgreens today. I wanted to buy them and try them out, but I decided not to. I think I'll wait for someone to review them.

I studded my toms! I requested these toms for my birthday just to stud them! I must say, I'm liking them so much! I want the white ones now so that I can paint them. Oh my~

My new favorite pair of flats. I think these are the cutest flats I've ever seen in my life. I just love the flower detailing! I got it at Ross ($10!!) btw. I've been on a Ross kick lately. Probably because I'm about to quit my job. Gotta find the best bang for my buck!

Meet the L's! (The Losers) Our group hasn't hung out in about 8 years.. crazy!! We finally set a date and ate dinner at a sushi restaurant called Japonessa. Oh my, we've grown a lot.

My yummy green tea gelato!

Random pictures and updates about a random things. Sorry the pictures were huge! Have a great day

At Japonessa

My boyfriend surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of roses! :}

It was our 5 year anniversary on March 2. Yes, 5 years haha~ People always ask me how we have made it so far and hmm.. I have a lot of say about that..maybe another post :p haha I think we've both learned so much from our relationship and I can truly say that these years have been full of happiness. We ate at RAM's on our actual day because it reminded us of the beginning of our relationship. We couldn't do much but eat dinner on that day because we both live busy lives, but we continued our celebration on saturday. In short, we tried the best tasting sushi and Japanese hot dogs (downtown seattle) and played shooting games at gameworks! hahaha It was a really great date :)

sorry for the huge pictures! I was too lazy too resize them hehe

Hope everyone is doing well!

Twenty three jewelry Handmade baubles and more

2011-02-28T18:13:00.000-08:00

I found out about this jewelry shop from a blogger! I'm glad I stumbled across Viel's shop because she handcrafts wonderful jewelry. They are made beautifully and everything came packaged well. I'm really enjoying these two pieces I purchased from her and I'm looking forward to more purchases!

Bracelet: Beauty au la Rose

Ring: The boy who lived
I love these two pieces. The bracelet is actually really huge because I have small wrists, but I've found a way to make it fit! It makes a plain outfit a little more elegant/girly. The ring I had custom ordered because it's Harry Potter inspired which I had to have!! All of her pieces are original which is why I had to custom order this one. I love them both! Thanks Viel!

I've been out of the loop. My face broke out from I don't know what. It's horrible. I'm 10x busier than I use to be and 10x more tired. I blog when I can! Hope everyone's good! Btw, any good recommendations for getting rid of pimples!? >.<

My "going away" dinner

2011-02-01T21:28:00.000-08:00

My Loving Boyfriend

My Young Friends

My slightly Older Friends haha

These are HUGE pictures and I'm too lazy to resize them. Well I had some dinner with my friends the other night. Our theme was "all black everything". Apparently it's from a song. It was sweet of them to throw me a "going away" dinner. Its complicated just because I didn't really move.. haha I don't feel like explaining.

Anyway, I was on a roll blogging but now that I started school and full time work, ugh.. All I want to do is sleep. Hope everyone is doing well!
