NEW BOOTS~~~ 
 |
And only $20.00 too! I put together an outfit for them today 
 |
Kind of crappy lighting in my new apartment 
Probably doesn’t help that it’s always so cloudy outside! I can’t wait for the weather to start reflecting the season.
So I’ve been doing some crafting again recently! With even more sculpting! These new pieces were heavily influenced by crafts I see for sale on mbok and such 
 |
 |
I’ll probably put them up for sale either later today or tomorrow. There aren’t so many because I wanted to put little details into each of them ♥
I almost forgot, I want to review a webshop I bought from recently! In addition to my usual MAC lashes, I’ve been looking for some cheaper lashes for days when I don’t feel like breaking out my #7’s. So I checked around and finally found out about Jcosme. At first I was a little scared to order from them since they don’t accept Paypal and I hadn’t really heard any reviews. But I decided to just go for it and order a bunch of the “Ethnic Beauty” style lashes. They also have “Gyaru Fashion” lashes that are cute and dramatic!
 |
So those are mine above 
I ordered way too many though so I might sell off a few pairs! I loved ordering from Jcosme though, and they even sent me a bunch of cute nail stickers with my lash order, it was so sweet and unexpected!
 |
Made another MAC order recently as well since I didn’t end up visiting their counter at Nordstrom when I was visiting home. And now that I’m back and taking summer courses (including yoga! but more about that later!) I won’t get the chance for awhile. I decided to order some eyeshadows in Woodwinked and Shroom and more #7 lashes. I seriously love #7’s 
 |
Okay this entry is getting long but I’ll update about progress on my Japan internship and more later! 
Has it really been two weeks since my last update 
I guess I’ve been busier than usual lately! That tends to happen towards the end of the year/semester. I’m sure that when the year ends I’ll be back to updating regularly 
The seminar for my possible internship in Japan is coming up fast! It’s on May first. I need to make sure I get all my documents in before then. Also need to get a new iPhone case as I lost my Rilakkuma one recently when I dropped my phone at a dance I’m thinking of replacing it since the Rilakkuma cases are now available on eBay, or I might get this cute Juicy Couture one~
 |
For now my iPhone doesn’t have a case, but considering that I could have lost the phone as well it makes me happy to at least still have my iPhone 
There’s currently a Beauty Insider 15% off your entire order sale going on at Sephora for anyone who didn’t already know about it! The promo code for it is MADNESS and it ends tomorrow. I was seriously considering some of the cute new tokidoki collab items Sephora has up for sale but decided not to buy.

I finally did a bit of crafting over the weekend and here are the results!
 |
I haven’t been feeling very creative lately but it was nice to do some work with clay after not having made anything for awhile. I have most of the rings above for sale as well as some Liz Lisa items and more at the link below 
Just checked Liz Lisa’s webshop and they have a cute new layout up! 
It’s also much easier to navigate now. I think it’s a definite improvement And all of the flowers on top are so lovely for spring!
 |
Sooo I finished the commission for custom mini hats today and I think they turned out cute. It was my first time attempting to make mini hats so I’m pretty happy with the result. I couldn’t find a heart shaped mini hat for the melty chocolate themed hat though so that was a little disappointing
 |
I don’t think I’ll be making any more mini hats though as they took so long to make 
Recently I’ve on the fence about these denim skirts from Liz Lisa. I really liked them when I first saw them, but I wasn’t sure if they were worth buying
 |
But I caved and bought the light blue version the other day 
I wasn’t going to, but after seeing the spring looks in stores here I thought that it would pair well with just about anything and make a lot of outfits more gal.
 |
I should be receiving my package from Celga this week, I’m so excited 
It has my Liz Lisa boots and a bunch of other things. Can’t wait! I’ll probably check its status way too often until it finally gets here
Yesterday I wrote that I did some crafting, and here are the results 
Everything is currently for sale here ♥
 |
I’m starting to use less ‘whip cream’ aka silicone in my crafts and doing more actual sculpting. When I started out I never used silicone and lately I realized I would like to get back to the artistic element of jewelry making Plus I really hate the fumes that silicone gives off as it’s drying. It’s fine when it’s dry but before that it’s not pleasant, to say the least!
 |
Also made a necklace with a little bear as the cork I hand painted the face! I used E-6000 glue to keep the bear attached and I have to say, it’s the best glue I’ve ever used. It dries quick enough and when it’s dry it’s extremely strong! I’d definitely recommend it for crafting.
I’m thinking of selling this Tralala cutsew to help pay for my Celga shipping invoice~
 |
Is there any interest? I paid about $40.00 for it so I’m looking to get about that much for it. Leave a comment or contact me if you’re interested 
So now that spring break has started, I’ll probably just laze around this weekend 
I need to tidy my room before I leave on Monday though. I hate coming back home to a mess! My dorm room is really tiny though so it shouldn’t take too long. What do you all have planned for spring break
I forgot how expensive shipping from Japan can be when you buy boots. Guess how much it will cost me.
$88.00 But I want my boots so I’m forking it over. Was planning on buying from MAC when I got home but I don’t see that happening now. At least there’s only one more day until spring break 
I only have math tomorrow though so it won’t be a long day at all. I kind of already feel like I’m on break actually, which is probably why I crafted a bit today
I’m going to be making some deco’d mini hats soon since I was commissioned to make a couple, so I’ve been getting the materials and clay pieces together for them. If they turn out especially cute I might start making some for my shop 
I’m getting really bored of my fall clothes, but I liked my outfit today so here’s a snap of it~
 |
I think I need to clean my mirror 
It’s probably hard to tell, but the boots have a pretty high heel. One of my new years resolutions was to learn to walk in heels and these boots were the first heels I learned to walk in! I really love to wear heels now – they make almost any outfit look classier 
I finished the website layout for my sister and her husband yesterday and I guess it turned out okay? They like it a lot so I guess that’s all that matters 
It’s much different than my usual style since their business is going to be a sort of club with a cafe and gaming so of course my usual stuff wouldn’t fly haha Anyways when the website is all done I’ll post a link to it so you all can check it out!
Do you ever just daydream about the things you’d buy if you had more money? I’m sure most of you do 
Well, I made a little list:
1. Liz Lisa denim skirt in light blue & floral necklace in white
2. MAC lashes & lipglass & mascara
3. Spring dresses
It’s a bit shorter than I expected so maybe I’ll be able to afford it all sometime soon What are some of the things on your wishlist?
I finished a Bottle Pet order yesterday and really liked how the ‘pet’ Rilakkuma turned out
 |
It’s really really tiny in real life! I love making miniatures
I went shopping today and picked up some face wash and lotion from Aveeno. I had heard about their new line of redness reducing products and thought they sounded pretty good. Usually I don’t have problems with my skin but during the winter it goes crazy and gets sensitive so I hope this stuff helps 
 |
It’s taking foreverrr for the items I ordered off mBok to arrive at Celga’s warehouse. I wish they would get there already so I could ship them out to myself! I also want to buy some things from MAC soon. I love their lipglasses and really want to pick up the ‘Underage’ shade. It’s a light pink with a little bit of shimmer – sounds perfect I need to get another pair of #7 lashes as well and some mascara. I’ll probably wait until I can pick them up in person at the MAC counter while I’m back home during spring break. There’s no MAC around here so it’s either wait or order online, and their stuff takes awhile to get here when I order it online
Look at all these Angelic Pretty postcards, aren’t they cute? 
 |
I didn’t even realize there were so many different kinds!
I just put up a new layout It’s much more simple than the older one but I like it~ I haven’t ever really added texture to any of my images but for this layout I decided to add a burlap texture to the header’s background and I love how it turned out! I’ll definitely be using textures for future projects.
Now that this layout is done I need to get started on a layout for my sister and her husband! They’re starting a business and so I offered to do the webdesigning for them. I guess we’ll see how well I can pull off a more ‘professional’ style of design
Only one more week until spring break I’m ridiculously excited for the break. I haven’t been home since mid January, which doesn’t sound like a long time, but it feels like it’s been forever. I think I got too used to all the breaks during November and December. And I just need a break from college after all the midterms. This next week is going to drag by I just know it. 
Note to self: before going home get all papers in order for internship in Japan! I want to get all the documents in asap!
Before I go, I have a special offer for readers! The iPhone case I listed at $39.00 yesterday is now marked down to $29.00 in the shop~
I deco’d another iPhone case yesterday~
I added a bunch of new resources for you all today! I remember being new to shopping from Japan online and so I’ve added a page with some of my favorite Japanese online shops and auction categories. If there are any brands you’d like to see on that page just list them!
Also added a new Liz Lisa themed background and a new gal style images page based on Alison’s suggestion!
The shop has also been updated with Baby the Stars Shine Bright, Alice and the Pirates, and Angelic Pretty collages/wall art.
I’ve brought back an old shop item – Bottle Pets! Bottle Pets are fully customizable tiny clay animals/characters in a glass bottle surrounded by the items of your choice.
Currently the photo examples are pretty old and I’ve improved my clay sculpting skills since then, but hopefully I’ll get some orders and be able to post newer images.
I’ve also updated the shop with necklaces, rings, and other items!
