♫ “麦恩莉” – 方大同. It hit 80F today! We had to bring out our fans from the storage, which means winter is “officially” over in Seattle haha. I can count the number of people I know that own AC on one hand, because it doesn’t usually get hot enough to justify the installation costs. Fans usually […]
Today marks the 2 week checkpoint since I started using my new SKINFOOD black sugar scrub and DIY pore strip routine, so I thought I’d show how my skin has been progressing! Photo under cut. My bare skin isn’t very attractive, as you can see… I decided to crop out my nasty dark circles because […]
Hello!! I’m back from Sakuracon. 🙂 It was my first time participating as an artist in the Artist Alley with my friend, Sora, so I spent a lot of time there instead of the usual cosplay shenanigans — which was an awesome opportunity for me! It made the convention very relaxing, and I got to […]
A bit ago I ordered my first two purchases from SKINFOOD, a South Korean food cosmetic brand specializing in products that, like the name implies, are made to nourish the skin. Gentle and natural ingredients such as honey, avocado, aloe, and rice are among the more well-known lines, but they also have black sugar, tea tree […]
One of my favorite hobbies is making mixtapes, playlists, and sharing music with others. I’ve been on a huge j-indie/rock kick as of late, but when I wanted to share I couldn’t find any links on YT or soundcloud to stream, so I finally made an 8tracks haha. The album cover is an old photo […]
I did a small cosplay test for Tomoe awhile back, but never posted photos here! Kamisama Hajimemashite is one of the shoujo mangas I’m keeping up with, and I really like it ;~; Someday Ava and I are gonna cosplay it with her as Nanami… someday!! I tried styling the wig into ears, but I’ll […]
If there’s anything I’ve learned from buying circle lenses for cosplay, it’s that not all colors are created equal. This is most apparent when finding blue contacts, but it’s amazing how difficult it is to settle on “the right” pair of brown contacts. Detail-oriented cosplayers might recognize this struggle: Two cosplays, both brown-eyed characters but […]
After months stuffing loose bills and unorganized cards into my pockets (or backpack), I finally sat down and bought myself a new wallet! Because of the work I do, and the types of events I have to go to, I feel more at ease with a classy, simple clutch wallet. If it’s too small, then […]
♫ “Roar (Vintage Motown cover feat. Annie Goodchild)” – Scott Bradlee. It snowed last night!! Ahhh! Unfortunately it’s already melting, but I managed to snap some photos this afternoon. 🙂 Despite the snow, I still wear skirts! hahaha thank goodness for insulated + thick tights 🙂 I really love messenger bags, but because of my preferred […]
Yesterday and today I’ve been stuck inside working on homework for my menswear class Patterned denim has been trending lately, so I wanted to make the vest with a statement fabric in my first look. I fell head over heels for this dark denim, because it has a gold embossed print on it. To me, […]
