I'm Baaaaaack!

So, almost two years later, and I've come back to this blog. I'm sure things have changed a lot on the platform, and I plan to be giving this a huge overhaul to have it fit more with my new aesthetic!

I've really missed blogging and all of you, so I'm glad to be back! When you last saw me, I was at university in England. I have since returned to the US and am going to be finishing my degree here! It was sad to leave, and I miss my friends and the beautiful country every day, but I'm slowly coming to love this country all over again.

Stay tuned for a new post very soon. I'm attending a K-Pop Meetup tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have some good pictures and things to post about!

See you all soon

Sorry all!

Hello lovely followers!

Just a quick apology for not being around, no updates, and no comments! It's been a hectic couple of weeks which has kept me from finding the time to sit down to read and comment on posts, as well as update my own blog.

Unfortunately, last week my laptop display went pfft, so my poor laptop has been getting repaired. I feel so vulnerable without it! It's been a constant fixture in my life for 3 years! As a result, I'm updating this now on my iPad and wow it is difficult! I can't wait to have my laptop back.

My cousins have been visiting as well. They arrived at the beginning of this month and will be here until the 29th. (Though we have a reprieve for a week as they've gone to stay with my grandmother. Just in time too, as I've just had some dental work done and need peace and quiet!) There are four children 10 and under and they are a handful!. Between running around after children and not having my laptop, getting even just a moment of peace is hard to come by.

On the plus side, I've gotten my visa! Once we're free of these children and I have my laptop back, no more hectic running around needed. I'll be completely free to sit down and update my blog and catch up on all the posts that I've missed!

Thank you for being patient with me and hopefully I'll be back sometime next week!

New New New!

Hello new followers :] Nice to see you!

I love getting new things and having new things. Who doesn't?! So much for my self-imposed spending freeze (Though I completely destroyed that when I impulse bought an iPad, don't mind me while I mourn the state of my wallet)!
I searched for the perfect backpack for school in the fall and found just what I was looking for. It took me forever to find something I liked.

It might be hard to tell in these photos, but the fabric of the backpack is like a corduroy material. It's very soft and lightly ribbed and I can't stop touching it. I'm so happy I got it!

THE POCKETS. There are so many! One on each side, one in the front, and three on the inside! It's also big enough to carry my laptop, iPad and any notebooks and books I might have! I'm getting more and more excited about going to school the closer it gets and the more prepared I get for it! I just want to buy ALL THE SCHOOL SUPPLIES. Especially rose patterned or pastel pink things.

Also, like I mentioned wanting to try other BB Creams, I was in the store with mum and she pointed out this BB Cream! It's made by L'Oreal. I suppose I'm being a bit of a snob when it comes to the BB Creams I choose or even consider, but I decided to give this one a try! I hope that it turns out to be good, because a drug store option is always nice to have, even if I will most likely choose to import my BB Cream.

Have any of you been watching the Olympics? I only watch the Gymnastics events, so I've been watching those! I can't wait to see who medals in each event. :]

I've also had my hair cut and coloured (well Trimmed really). The colour is red but because I had dyed my hair previously black, it is very dark and doesn't show up well in photos. :[

Rather short post, but I wanted to break up the onslaught of reviews a bit. After this post, there will most likely be more reviews coming! It's what I have drafted right now as a lot of my time is spent running around trying to get my Visa and supporting documents taken care of!

Liebster Blog Award Nominated!

I had planned for my next post to be a review of my Kira Kira pink lenses, but change of plans! I was nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by Sam. Her blog is one of my favourites, and she's a super nice and quality blogger, so be sure to check her out! I've never been nominated for anything before, so thank you, Sam! I'm flattered you thought to include me as well in your nominations :3


I had never heard of this award before! My blogging history has been a bit spotty, and as a result, this is the longest stretch of time that I've consecutively blogged (and I'm not giving up now!). This is the first I'm hearing of this award. This award is for bloggers who have under 200 followers, and it's meant to help those bloggers gain a larger audience. I'll put faith in Sam's translation of this award which is "An award for the blog I like the most". After all, who better to trust for a translation than the native speaker?!

I normally don't do this but...

This isn't something that I'd normally consider blogging about, but something I definitely want to say! Please note: This is not directed at any single person, so please excuse the use of "You".

My Brother's 21st! + Giveaway

Really just a pic post.  My brother was so unfun.  We went to eat at the ale house, he nursed a beer over three hours.  We went to the pool hall and stayed there for hours while he nurses a long island iced tea.  BORING.

My sister, her friend, and I had an amazing time. I was sober.

 There were a ton of other pictures, but I like these the best!  I especially love that silly face!

Also~  Check out Noxin's giveaway!  She's giving away 2 pairs of Geo circle lenses, a lens case for each pair, a super cute penguin traveling case and super super cute hk false nails, all from Shoppingholics (who is seriously my favorite online shop!)  So go check it out!
