Help! :: Wednesday, August 17, 2011

Been thinking lately about dyeing my hair again! It's been over 3 years since I last dyed my hair, and I'm a little sick of my natural hair color now!
( ̄へ ̄)
So, I'm looking for some advice from all of you lovely gals!

Here's some pictures (some serious, some not so much) to get some ideas going.

I'm partial to the silver color... or more of a platinum blonde. (but I couldn't create the platinum color because I'm not THAT much of a photoshop wiz....)



So, Help me decide which color direction I should go!!!

       Nothing interesting. :: Sunday, August 14, 2011


Just wanted to put up some of my recent pictures!

When I was up in Chicago, my friend Nikki gave me some bottom lashes to try. I didn't think I liked them, but I took them home to try them.


Dolly Wink No.5 Real Nude

I tried them out last night when I was going out to the club and
OMG! LOVE! ヾ(^∇^)
I think when I tried them in Chicago, I already had mascara on my bottom lashes, so the false lashes weren't sticking correctly and looked really odd. But, when I tried them yesterday night, they looked just right (imo) So, now I've found some nice bottom lashes that I actually like.

Thank you, Nikki!

Anyway, makeup and outfit for dancing yesterday!



Wearing my Princess Mimi Green Apple lenses. Not my favorite any more... need to find some other green ones that are vibrant that aren't so... whatever these are...




Being silly before I left.

Soon I'm gonna be getting a better clutch, so I'm gonna bring my camera with me to get some pictures... one day.

       Mitsuwa Summer Festival! :: Wednesday, August 10, 2011


PICTURE HEAVY!!

I can't believe it's been so long since I last wrote!

This last weekend I went back up to Chicago for the Mitsuwa Summer Festival. I had such a blast and got to meet back up with some of the Chicago gals!

:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

I headed up there after work on Thursday. That night, Evil and I didn't really do much. Ate dinner and pie, and just generally hung out.

On Friday, we had BIG plans! We decided we would go swimming, and then we would head out to King Sauna and Spa.


Off to the pool!

I haven't been swimming since I was last in New Orleans! And I finally got to wear my new bathing suit!!
We mostly laid in the lazy river the whole time. Even though we were at the pool for hours, I still didn't manage to get a tan! But, I do have a few more freckles than I did before.
ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ


After swimming, we rested for awhile, then headed almost an hour away to King Spa and Sauna. This place is VERY similar to Onsen in Japan! It is a Korean spa with a small portion of hot and cold baths, and then TONS of different saunas. We spent HOURS UPON HOURS here! We got there around 7pm, and then didn't leave until well after 11pm. It was a great refreshing experience.
We didn't take many pictures that day though.

:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

Saturday was the day of the festival. Evil and I met Nikki and Krystal at the Motel 6 that Nikki was staying in for the weekend so that we could all get ready together. I lent Krystal my spare yukata to wear as well.


Krystal, Me, Evil
The 3 of us in Yukata!



My yukata arrange.


It was so hot and humid, my hair fell down almost immediately.


Evil and I


Nikki and I


Krystal and I


And, My friend Rumi and I! I haven't actually seen Rumi since 2007! She was my very first friend in college.


Waiting in line for some foood.


This is my favorite Bon Odori teacher. She rocks my socks! Every year I try to follow her during the dancing.

:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

After the summer festival was over at 9pm, we headed over to the hotel room to change for CLUBBING NIGHT!!!!








The club was so full of creepers that night! (,,#゚Д゚)
I really wish my phone took better pictures!

:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

LASTLY!

I redid my nails today. First try with zebra print!

       American Farm Heritage Fair and Harrpy Potter 7 pt.2 :: Wednesday, August 3, 2011

This entry may be incredibly uninteresting for some people :) but I figure it's insight into my life. There will be gal pictures towards the end though, so bare with me and my hillbilly stories!

I had an exceptionally busy Sunday this week. I really didn't have any plans at all until I remembered on Saturday that my Daddy wanted me to go with him to the American Farm Heritage Car show and fair! I had totally forgotten about it!
Shame on me!
And then, my Ma wanted me to go with her to see the final part of Harry Potter, because neither of us had had a chance to see it yet.
So, my lazy Sunday turned into a busy busy one instead.

:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

First off, The American Farm Heritage Fair is a small fair with tractor pulls, tractor shows, a car show, various vendors, and old farm equipment show. My Da wanted us to leave at around 9am to go to the fair. Since I'm not particularly an early riser, that DID NOT happen. He ended up getting up and going with his car to put it in the Car Show, I ended up sitting around the house for a few hours. But, I did eventually make my way to the show. :)

Even though I was only there for a couple hours, it was miserable outside and I sweat like a PIG! ( ´(00)`) It was so gross. And, there was virtually no shade at all. The fair grounds were mostly hard packed dirt and rock, so the heat coming off the ground was almost as bad as the heat from the sun.

I know, you're all thinking 'who in their right mind would want to go to something SO BORING when it was so hot outside?' But, I had a BLAST! I'm really a farm girl at heart so looking at some of the old stuff was a lot of fun for me. Also, I got to spend the day with my Daddy, and that was enough to make it fun.

:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:


They had pony rides for the kids... though I don't remember a lot of kids running around. At least the ponies were in the shade.


Weird, I know, but this was the cleanest port-o-potty I have ever been in! It was so amazing I took a picture to remember it by.


Lemon shake-ups and fried fish! Oh fair food = LOVE!



Me in front of one of the coolest tractors EVER! I love these old monsters!! They're steam engine operated and from the late 1800's early 1900's. They can pull anything because they are SO strong. This one is actually a baby one. They didn't have any of the giant ones at this fair, but the biggest ones are twice the size of this one. These tractors are one of my favorite things in the world. OMG! I AM SUCH A HICK!!! and I love it.
(>ω<*)ノ


Tractor Pull! You see, that's a weight on the back. The farther the tractor goes, the heavier the weight becomes. So, the tractor that can pull the weight the farthest wins. As you can see, this one is at the end of his ability. The weight is so heavy he's popping a wheelie!


My Daddy's car! He won an award, too! My dad restores custom cars, so he built this one from the ground up. Go Pops!
I didn't bother at all getting galed up for going to this. It was too hot!

:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

After the car show, I got home and got ready to go out to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt.2! I've been waiting to see this movie since it came out, but hadn't found the time yet.




Makeup for Harry Potter.


And my co-ord. This dress is ridiculously too big for me now.

I thought the movie was actually really great. It stuck to the story line pretty well, and the action scenes were pretty neat. I could have done with a little more Snape and a little more Draco (my favorite characters) but the Snape memories part was really well touching. Snapers as a little boy was adorable. And, I like that he showed so many emotions. My favorite part of the movie!

I really wanted to take a picture with the giant billboard for the movie (Like EVERYONE HAS DONE!) but there wasn't one anywhere! So I had to settle for this


And, finally, 2 things from the movie that should have been 'on the edge of your seats' parts, but were kinda spoiled for me (because I couldn't stop laughing) were 'Harry Potter, come to die' and at the end, when Draco rejoins the death eaters and Voldy-moldy hugs him....
why were they spoiled you ask?
Because of these.






Giggle fits. That's all I can say.
☆彡
