It's Been Awhile / Sailor Moon Crystal ♡♡

Hey everyone! It has been so long since I last wrote on this blog. I honestly think I would update a lot more if it was easier to do on my ipad since I do not have a regular computer to use. I would love to update my blog more, but you know how life is, you get really busy. I have been thinking about starting a youtube channel that would be similar to this blog, but again I don't have a regular computer to use. I know I can use my ipad to edit videos but I really don't know how much. Maybe I will start setting aside money for a laptop.



Anyways! Today I wanted to just kind of update you on my favorite obsession right now, Sailor Moon Crystal! Well, really all things Sailor Moon! But the new anime is perfect, I am in love with it! I have seen a lot of blogs and fanpages who are tearing it apart, despite enjoying it. It just really annoys me that people can't just enjoy it for what it is! Sailor Moon Crystal (I will call it SMC for short from now on) is following more along the lines of the manga, which to me is great! I grew up reading the manga, and it's nice because we meet most of the inner senshi of the scouts nearly right away! The only thing I found that a huge difference so far (granted, it's only been 2 episodes) is that they update the technology that was originally in the manga. Someone said that they saw someone in the background using a cell phone. Also, Usagi has a laptop which it looks like it is running Windows 7. And remember the old floppy disk that Ami is given from the after school seminar she is going to? Well now it is a CD. I don't really mind those updates because after all it is 2014, and any younger generation watching would not understand what a floppy disk is or why the computer monitor looks like a huge brick. Ahhh, the 90s.

I am obsessed with the new theme song for SMC. 'Moon Pride'! It's a beautiful song, and I love the hard edge to it with the guitars. Very Japanese! I really need to order the CD so I can listen to it over and over. Here is a link to the full music video for Moon Pride. It's a little bit different and obviously longer than the version used at the beginning of SMC, but the whole video is just awesome.



Since SMC has started, I decided it was time to expand my Sailor Moon collection even more. I am not sure why but it took me forever to finally buy the SH Figuarts Sailor Moon action figure. I decided with each paycheck, I am going to buy one, since they get pretty pricey. I am a little mad that I waited so long, because the first edition of the Sailor Moon figure came with 2 extra faces; one crying and one winking, which I really wish I had. I took mine out of the box because I don't care what it's worth is some day, I wanted it for me. I wanted to play with it and pose it. That is just more my style, nothing wrong with leaving it in the box though. I am for sure keeping my box, but it did get a little banged up in shipping. Such is life. I bought mine on Amazon. Anyways, I was absolutely amazed by the quality of the action figure. It's super easy to pose and it will stay in place. It's awesome that you can change her faces and hands. She comes with 2 wands, 8 different hands (including Moon Tiara/Boomerang), and 4 faces in total. And she comes with Luna! YOU CAN EVEN POSE LUNA! I was very impressed by this little detail, you can move Luna's tail and head. The Sailor Moon figure is so much fun, the day I got her I kept sending photos to my best friend. Yesterday I just ordered Sailor Mercury! She should arrive by Thursday. I cannot wait to pose her with Sailor Moon.



What do you guys think of Sailor Moon Crystal so far? Are you enjoying it? Tell me what you think in the comments! I would love to discuss all things Sailor Moon! Thanks for reading! I promise it won't be this long ever again! ♡♡

Valentines Day ♡♡

I have always loved Valentines day, I have always really enjoyed celebrating love. For me, it's never been about a relationship or anything like that; it's always been about making other people (yes, plural, people) feel loved.



There are a ton of things that you can do on Valentines Day if you aren't in a relationship. Some ideas might be, having a slumber party with your friends, play video games, buy as much chocolate as your heart desires (and eat as much as you want!), enjoy a glass (or five) of wine, bake cookies or cupcakes. Don't limit yourself! Find new exciting things to do on Valentines day. That way, it's not just a horrible holiday only for people in a relationship. Like I said, that is not what it is about! Last year, even though I was (and still am) dating someone, I went over to a friends house and brought over some cookies that my mom and I baked, drank, and watched movies. It honestly was one of the best Valentines day I ever had.



This year my boyfriend and I are trying to plan some things out and actually do something. Since I work weekends, it's a little difficult to find time to do these things (at least on weekends). I'm trying to figure out what I am going to get him this year. I have some ideas. If you have a boyfriend some great ideas on what to get him are: video games, vinyl records, dvds or blurays, a watch, or maybe a nice shirt. If you're looking for something to get your girlfriend: flowers (always an amazing gift if you know she loves them!), jewelry (it doesn't have to be real, it's just the thought that counts), a nice floral dress, or a cute iphone case (wildflowercases.com has a great red with white hearts one). These are just ideas, so you are definitely not limited to just these ideas. Plus, it's always great to personalize your gift specific to that person. Not all girls want flowers or anything like that. Also, there is no shame in not exchanging gifts either. If you and your loved one aren't really Valentines day type, binge watching netflix is always fun! Just to avoid any argument it's always best to discuss your thoughts on Valentines day first.



My boyfriend and I already discussed going out on a date. And yesterday I ordered a new outfit just for the occasion. Plus, I needed to add some more pieces to my wardrobe anyways. I got all of these items at forever21.com. And their site also has a ton of ideas for what to wear on Valentines day. I always like cute florals and anything red and pink!

♡ Here is what I bought: ♡


That about wraps things up. I will be updating sometime soon the reviews I promised as well as my Valentines day! I hope yours is magical and you have a great time no matter what you do! Thanks for reading! ♡♡

Snowy day!! Reviews, recent orders, and more!! ♡♡

Hello lovelies! I hope all of you are staying warm! It is freezing in Michigan. This weather is not very fun but it gives me an excuse to have my own little personal snow day, something I haven't had in quite some time now! My parents are currently on their way home from up north and I am really hoping that they make it home safely. Yesterday on my way home from work my car was sliding all around the snowy roads, and I almost got stuck trying to go up a hill. Luckily, I got out of it and made it home just fine, but it was scary! What are you favorite things to do on a snow day? I enjoy a warm cup of hot cocoa or warm tea and watching a movie or playing video games. Some other ideas are crafting, baking, or playing a board game.

Review. I recently had ordered Wreck This Journal. I ordered it on amazon for around $10 + shipping. I got it on Saturday and have been busy wrecking it ever since! It's great because its not like your typical journal. The point of it is to basically destroy it and not have it be perfect. Every page has a little task for you to complete. One of the first things it tells you to do is crack the spine. Instantly the journal feels already more lived in. There's also another page where it tells you to shower with the book. It's so great! I think when I finish this one, I will get another one, and keep the process going. It's so great because it really gets your creative juices flowing, without having to be the best artist. It's definitely worth buying.




My last review I have is from the OPI Gwen Stefani collection. It's a silver polish called push and shove. The color is supposed to be like chrome on your nails. Now this polish is not your typical nail polish. It's not just 2 coats and a coat of top coat and your done. This one comes with a little mini base coat that you put on your nails first. And then they say to do two thin coats of the push and shove color. No top coat. It looked great when it was done, but I did notice that you could see all of the ridges of my nail beds. Which to me is a pretty minor problem, but I definitely recommend buffing your nails before putting on the base coat. Now as for the wear of the polish, it warns you on the packaging that it is a "one night only" kind of polish. I wanted to test that the best I could. I noticed as the day went on after I polished them that the chrome was a little less shiny. It wasn't matte by any means but it didn't have that shine it had before. The polish did chip off fairly easily the next day. However, keep in mind that I am a hairdresser and I am shampooing multiple times through out the day. I fully plan on painting my nails again with this color as it looks so awesome for the first few hours.

Color: ♥♥♥♥♥
Longwear: ♥♡♡♡♡
Overall: ♥♥♥♡♡
I do recommend, it's worth buying, just wear for special occasions.



I also recently ordered a 2 purses and a beanie from storenvy! I am so excited to get them, I hope they get here this week! This is my first order off of storenvy so I figured I would keep it to a shop that seemed like it had been around for awhile. I have been eyeballing this cat ear beanie for quite some time and I definitely couldn't resist any longer. Also I've been looking for a new cute purse and figured this cat one would be perfect! I already have one cat purse, but I've had it about a year and it's starting to wear down, so I thought why not. Oh, and the little cat purse came free, so I am going to hopefully use that one as a case for my ipad mini! The shop I ordred from is called SYNDROME.


The last thing I ordered was FREE! All I had to do was pay for shipping. So worth it! I will definitely give these a review once I get them! They are false eyelashes from Oh my, Lash! I saw a post from one of my favorite instagram accounts Lillipore. She had said they were having a special offer on 4 free pairs of eyelashes from their Sweetheart collection. I definitely couldn't resist, especially since I am obsessed with wearing falsies! I am the most excited to wear "Jo Jo" and "Chelsea". You can order your own FREE pairs here.



Alright, I think that about wraps up everything. Thanks so much for reading my blog everyone! I am going to go color my hair now! I hope you enjoy your day! Stay cute! ♡♡
