Happy Mother's Day!! :: Monday, May 9, 2011
Don't have a lot planned for today. Just hanging out with my ma and helping her with some of the house work! My mom's b-day is on May 20th, so instead of celebrating Mother's Day in any big way, we're putting it off, and doing something special for her birthday instead! It's nice because it gives me a little longer to make plans!
On another note, I've been thinking about changing the lashes I've been wearing. I really like the ones that I wear now, but I'm getting a little tired of the way they feather out on the sides. So, I'm looking for some new ones that are a little bit different shape than the ones I currently use. I've tried a couple different styles, but I haven't really found another type or combination of types that give me the effect I'm looking for.
I'm currently wearing a combination of 2 lashes glued together. Both Diamond Lash
And I do really like them. They're kind of like a thicker version of the limited edition "Wakatsuki Chinatsu Yellow Box"
But, I'm really looking for something that looks a little different. But not sure what! The "Dolly eye" Diamond lashes on their own have very little wow factor and are just about the same length as my natural lashes... so they kind of get lost.
And, I haven't tried, but I doubt the "Dolly eye" lashes will look much better with 2 of them glued together.
So, what I'm wondering is what lashes should I try next? I want to try something that doesn't wing out as much at the corners, but is still dramatic! Well, dramatic in the sense that I do "natural style" makeup.
In other news, I put in my 2 weeks at my current job, and plan to start part time at my new job right after. But, since I'm going down to part time, I'm going to have SO much time to go out and dress how I like! Exciting! But, then again, I'm going to have very little money for awhile. So all the new styles I want to buy are going to have to wait for awhile.
Last but not least, I went out last night with my Katy! It was SO HOT! SO I went with a more summer outfit even though we still really haven't had much spring weather. But, that's generally what happens here in the Midwest.

Oh hell. :: Friday, May 6, 2011
I was so excited, I reeeally wanted to wear the blue lenses out and have been waiting more than a month since I ordered them.
Well, I opened the new lens up and poured it into the contact case. Pulled it out, and was looking at it before I put it in... and, low and behold, THE DAMN THING HAD A *HUGE* TEAR IN IT!!!!
You have *GOT* to be KIDDING ME!! How is it that I receive not only one defective lens... BUT 2. What are the odds?! BOOO! BOOO! BOOOOOO! Needless to say, I was livid.
I don't know if this is just a fluke, a bad batch, or if the Barbie lenses manufacturer is just not very good.
I've contacted Pinky Paradise yet again, and I'm wondering what they'll do this time. I am more than willing to send these lenses back and get a refund if that's what they think is best. I'm not sure if I want to get a replacement lens sent to me again.
BUUUT, I LOVE how these lenses look, I love how the one that isn't defective feels, and I really want blue lenses!!!
So, I ended up wearing my princess mimi lenses today instead.
But, I have a couple other pictures to share as well. My makeup transformation.
Wa-la! Me without makeup on and hair not done.
I know, I'm plain and derpy. :D
Makeup done! but no hair.
All done! From plain to not so plain. And, well, you can't get all the derp out.
That was fun. Now on to today.
ANNNNND~~ The funny face HAS to come out.
When I get around to wearing all my new clothes I'll post some pictures of those, too. <3

One day Chicago trip! PICTURE HEAVY! :: Sunday, May 1, 2011
I didn't end up leaving my house until 6pm. xDD I actually wanted to leave a little earlier, but i just couldn't get motivated to get ready! I think I was dreading the drive too much! 4 hours drive is really TOOO LONG!!!
I'm only putting a few pictures up with Nicole in them because I have her permission for those, and I don't want any of them being used in a bad way.
This is what I wore for the car ride. I wanted to wear something loose and flowy, so this outfit worked out perfectly.
Another reason I didn't leave until night time was because I was REALLY hoping that it would stop pouring outside. But no luck, so I started my long journey with my windshield wipers going full blast. Icky day!
Concentrating on driving... heh!
About half way to Chicago, the rain finally let up, and the sun came out briefly. Unfortunately, it was at that awkward angle that shines right in your eyes! BOO!
But, it got dark quickly... there was also construction every 10 miles or so! SO much construction!
That's right, I drive 10 miles over the speed limit... AND take pictures while doing it. I am just THAT rockin'!
Full dark.. and MORE construction!
I made it in one piece of course around 10pm. I met Nicole at her work and took the opportunity to cam whore a bit while she finished up.
This is about the time I realized my left contact was in inside-out!!! WTF, I've never done that before without immediately noticing! Usually it hurts like a mother f-er when I put my contact in inside-out, but the Princess mimi ones I didn't even notice until I looked at myself more closely.
So, I took them out, and we headed out to Olympic Star!! The BEST diner DUMP EVARRRR! It has some of the best bad food I've ever had. And, I LOVE IT!
After Olympic Star, we headed back to her place to catch up a little and sleep.
Next morning! Getting ready for our day out shopping and other shenanigans! I have a couple makeup pictures as I got ready. I'll put those up at some point just cause.
I love our cheesy smiles in this picture.
CAM WHORE! Bored while she finished getting ready. Funny faces are my FRIEND!
Away we go!
We shopped for quite awhile, and I just really wasn't finding anything I liked until we went in Delia's. So, I know this store is supposed to be for teenagers, but I couldn't pass up this complete outfit! The skirt is just DARLING, and the print T was only $10. So, SCORE! and they went together well. I just HAD to buy them! Plus, their dressing room was rockin' the leopard print. LOVE!
Together! My Nicole is NOT a gal, but she's still adorable! You can kind of see that days co-ord. I never did take a good picture of it, though.
By this time, is was time for a snack! CINNABON! DELICIOUS! We shared one of their big rolls.
Cinnabon happiness!
But all good things come to an end.
I love this shirt. Nicole said I looked like a pirate wench, which just makes it that much better.
The back had two overlapping panels. very nice for summer!
And then this shirt was EVEN BETTER! I'm so happy I finally started finding some great buys.
I also found this awesome purse. I loved the inside of it, and just the entire design was just my style. AND, it was on sale! Instead of being $89 it was only $59, so of course I couldn't pass it up!
For dinner we went to Sushi Station! OH nostalgia! When we were in collage, we used to go to Sushi Station and Mitsuwa (the Japanese shopping mall) at least once a week. Sushi Station is the only (I think) Kaiten Zushi place in Chicago... or anywhere in the midwest as far as I know of. I LOVE KAITEN ZUSHI! But, I was still full from the cinnabon, so I could only manage to eat 4 plates! It was still as delicious as I remember though.
Another car picture, on our way back to Nicole's house. Sadness because I knew once we got back to her place, I had about 20 minutes to pack up my things and go since I planned to leave there at 8pm.
BUT, we detoured off to Jamba Juice anyway! DELICIOUSNESS! We don't have Jamba Juice near where I live either. It's like a healthy fruit and frozen yogurt smoothie place. I usually get a Maccha blast, but this time I got a chocolate-moo'd. It was SO YUMMY!
Finally, my camera died, and I had to resort to using my crappy phone camera to take our final good-bye pictures!
I left around 8:30pm, and didn't end up making it back home until around 1:30am. I ended up having to stop halfway through to get a coffee and a snack to wake myself up. It was a very long day, but definitely worth the effort!
I had a ton of fun and already miss being there and hanging out with my girl! It sucks that we live so far away from each other.
I also got my last shipment from rakuten. So, I'll be making a post about that soon too.
