I finally found some time to doing my nails again and getting back into nail art a little bit. I decided to splurge a little for once and buy some tools for nail art, and decided to just go ahead and share my collection. I hope you're ready for this, because there's a ton of pictures coming up. :) In case you guys are interested in these items, I'll try to post prices and where I got them from to the best of my memory at the end of this post. Enjoy!

026. Who else loves free samples? ♥
WARNING! Picture spam ahead!
・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
So I was checking the Samples and coupons thread on Soompi, and someone mentioned that they finally got their free Revlon lipstick in the mail today. Excited, I went straight to my mailbox where sure enough, there was a package from Walgreen's for me, yipee! I also got a free sample from SouthBeach Living for a s'mores granola bar (thank you boyfriend!) and a sample of HUGO cologne (you're welcome boyfriend! lol). Well, enough talk, here's the pictures!
Also came with a $1.00 off coupon for ChapStick. :)
Isn't it a pretty color?
It's a pretty shimmery lipstick, and I think it's pretty close to my lip color. I only tried it on now, and it's night time, so maybe the crappy lighting is deceiving me. *Hope so.* :)
Sooo yummy! Also came with a $1.00 off coupon, which I think I'll have to use!
The corner is messed up since I wanted to smell it, lol. It smells sooooo good...!
and the best part,
HAHAHA! :D
Okay, now time to spam pictures of my kitty, since he wouldn't leave me alone when I was taking pictures. :)
Playing with catnip! He went nuts... I tried to pull it away from him and he tried to scratch me, haha. He's a real spoiled brat!
'Oh, it's my ball, not yours! But, since you're family, I share. :D' If you get that stupid reference, you are officially awesome. XD
My backyard~ can you see my dog gettin' her tan on?
Floppy ear!
I love my Pumpkin ♥

Okay, so that's about it for now. I need to go clothes shopping with my mom tomorrow for work clothes.... now, where the hell am I gonna find a pair of shiny black work shoes?? o_o

025. NEW LAYOUT!
・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
I've finally been able to make my own layout. I've tried several times to find a nice template, but I couldn't change the settings. I stumbled upon a layout generator, and spent probably 3 hours playing around with it. I'm super pleased with the new look, it's so much better! I hope you guys like it too. I think it's a lot easier on the eyes, but let me know what you think!
Also, I'm so excited that I've FINALLY landed a job! I get to make sandwiches and serve salad at Lucky's. Sounds silly, but I'm so excited to start. It really looks like fun! I can't wait to start making some money again. ♥
Aaaand, I leave with some pictures of pancakes I made a long time ago. I was craving pancakes for a while, so I finally made some from scratch. Don't they look yummy?
It's 3:43am, but I'm getting hungry!

024. まだ久々ね。。
Once again, I've disappeared forever. But am back for the time being. ;)
・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
Fanime is today, but I'm stuck at home because I'm too lazy to take the bus there. I really badly wanted to go yesterday, since FLOW (FLOWWWW!!!!) was performing, but I was sick. I was also really looking forward to meeting some long-time online friends from AsiaJam! ..Of ALL days to be sick, right? So I spent most of the day eating, cleaning, or sitting watching my sisters play Persona 4. I also found my camera! So I guess it's not all bad after all...
Well, the past month I've been working on my boyfriend's Hazama cosplay (of course I completely forgot about the tie until literally the last few minutes, so made him a really ghetto tie lol). Overall though, I'm very proud of what I've accomplished for my first real cosplay! I'll try to post pictures after Fanime weekend, since he's at a hotel with his friends (instead of here with lonely me, haha!)
Besides sewing and watching Celebrity Apprentice and ANTM (on cycle 8 now, love you Nata!), I've been trying to make more nails and some cases for fun.
My first time using the KISS Acrylic Nail Kit. My nails felt so strong (and thick), it was strange, but nice to have strong nails for once! Too bad it left my natural nails in horrid condition! My nails are naturally thin, so I'm not sure I'll be using this again (at least not for a long time!)
I made these yesterday, and finished them today. They're a short round (and sparkly) version of the ones I made a while ago. MUCH more practical for wearing any day.
I also wanted to make one that is very simple. So, this is the result! I still think it's pretty cute though?
Probably my favorite item I made! It took me clear over an hour just to figure out how I wanted to put everything on it. I think it came out super girly, which is what I wanted haha. I'm currently using it to store my fruits pieces, though it used to be a bobby pin case. I just don't know what happened to the pins, lol. Nothing like Rock of Love to get your creativity running. (Can you tell I LOVE reality TV?)
I started making this one next, but it's not finished. It looks more like a Valentine's Day theme though; it's got kind of a ロマンチーク feel. XD I just don't know how to finish it, but I wanted to share it (and on Poupée since I'm running low on ribbons!) :P
I also finally made a trip to Sally's Beauty Supply. I'm still mad that they don't accept gift cards online... good 2 hours of my life wasted. I read about these mini lipsticks in their reviews, and I really wanted to try them. I had no idea they were SUPER mini! They're so tiny, but I'd like to try these before investing in more expensive lipsticks (newb). Not bad for only $.99.
I'm not really into lipgloss, but the color caught my eye. Plus it was on clearance, so I wanted to try it. Although I didn't notice until I got home that she accidentally charged me an extra dollar, grr. Oh well, the gift card was free...
That's about it for now. Maybe when I'm in a better mood I'll write more or cam-whore. I washed my wig a few nights ago for the first time, and it's SO much nicer now. It was super tangled and shiny (so it looked a little fake to me), but I think now it's a little more dull and natural-looking. Plus it's super soft. I can't wait to wear it out! :P
・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
Also... I've been seriously spamming this, but I think it's so funny and cool.
How many people can say that their grandpa's info was accidentally put in IMBD? They somehow got his birthday and death date mixed up with the actor's because they have the same name (except my grandpa goes by James J. Yagi, not James Yagi). FAIL! XD
・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
Current music: SNSD [Oh!]
DAMN YOU COMCAST! ...Okay, no, I'm thrilled they have KPop videos, but now I'm addicted to this song. I'm not really a fan of SNSD, but this song is so damn catchy!

023. みんなの彼氏へ~♥
Okay, this is a quick post for the BOYFRIENDS of all you lovely gals!!
・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
My boyfriend has been working on a new blog for a while, and I really wanted to share it with you gals to share with your boyfriends or guy friends, or anyone interested in technology. It's called Geeky Otter! Cute, isn't it? His blog so far contains a couple of reviews (including one on the iPad!), and will usually consist of such posts. I'm pretty sure his next post is going to be a review on his new Asus G73JH Laptop (and probably drooling over StarCraft II, haha!) so let your guy friends know, or take a look if you're interested too. :)
Visit GEEKY OTTER!!
Thanks for reading! ~♥

022. 忘れちゃった~
I totally forgot I had something to write about. Whoops!
・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
I made a new set of nails one night while watching the Project Runway finale! Stupid DVR though... someone didn't finish the pre-recorded episode, so when I pressed play it was still at the end and I saw who won!! Dammit. Well, at least it was who I wanted to win, but still. Just like when I watched the Oscars... I accidentally fast-forwarded all the way to the end, and deleted the whole show. D'oh! Has that happened to anyone else??
But anyways, enough rambling! :)
I think it turned out pretty cute, despite the uneven coating. That's Solar Power for you. :P Also, this time I used super glue to apply them! I wish I had thought of that before... *dumb* They're so long though, so I probably won't wear them unless I drop by Fanime or something. But it was still a very enjoyable 3 hours. ^^;
Also, if you have Poupée Girl, please Suteki and Comment! ♥Here♥
Okay, time to watch Tyra and work on my boyfriend's cosplay some more! I'm so excited how well it's going... I made my first vest LOL!

WATCH OPRAH'S EARTH DAY SPECIAL!!!
I just wanted to leave a quick comment to let you guys know to tune in to OPRAH today! I know I probably should've mentioned this say, 3 days ago at least... but it just popped into my head last night. In any case, please watch her Earth Day special and support Mr. Ric O'Barry!!! He is an amazing dolphin activist who was featured in the movie "THE COVE", which won Best Documentary this year! PLEASE watch the movie and follow their cause via FACEBOOK!
And PLEASE be sure to sign their petition to get the word out to President Obama and the Prime Minister of Japan, as well as the general public!!!
Thanks for your time girls! Comments are always appreciated, but I can't appreciate them enough here. If you've seen The Cove, then I am beyond happy!!! I know it's a very hard film to watch, but please don't put it off any longer! - KT
