Care package from Mel ♪( ´▽｀)

Hello! So I feel that it may be a good time to start posting about some of the gifts that I had gotten for Christmas given that I've been lagging...but here's some photos of all the wonderful items Mel got me! More can be found under the cut~ 

I thought this soap bar was absolutely adorable! "you smell" is definitely accurate. 

<3 

Bubbles! With a little shark wand haha~

I've fallen in love with this face cream! It's amazing and left my face feeling incredibly smooth. Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to it...darn sensitive skin. 

 Have yet to try this! 

I absolutely LOVED the lip balm that she had given me! It was amazing and I really, truly wish that I could have been able to use it more but it turns out that I'm allergic to it :( what a bummer </3 . 

This color is absolutely amazing and I am madly in love with it! 

And then some face blotting sheets which is perfect because I'm definitely an oily af monster x) 

Thank you again Mel for the gift! I'm thinking that maybe this post is better off on my makeup and fashion based blog, but honestly I'm too tired to care at this point about that. Will definitely try and make another art related post sometime soon though! Sorry for the wait! 

Street Fashion -- Choker love

Hellooo! So this is a rather old post, but here it is nonetheless. I had been asked by Melissa to create a nice, lovely choker necklace. 

I had sewn the pleather choker and some lace together to create an adorably cute design.

Afterwards, I had glued onto the middle an adorable cabochon.

It's not too difficult to make, but rather cute..no?

Souvenirs from Japan

Ahh, so I've been meaning to post about this but I repeatedly forgot! This was a little set of everything that Bianca had brought back from Japan for me. I don't really feel like captioning anything, but here it is! Also, in the picture the adorable hello kitty sailor looks a little dirtied... because she took a trip with me to PMX and got roughed up ;___;! Oops..

But Bianca had brought back for me two Sanrio tsum tsums, an official Disney Japan White Rabbit tsum tsum, a daisy notepad, a chiaki nanami figma keychain, and a pup bread figma (this was actually for Reis but we house the little guy in my home). 

Surprise, surprise!

My mom may not be perfect, but when I'm having off days she sure knows how to make me cry out of happiness ! Thank you for the cinnamon bagel with strawberry cream cheese! What a great treat to come home to after a long day of school ☆〜（ゝ。∂）

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey everyone! Forgot to make a post about Valentine's Day, so this will be the second one that I'll be doing for today. So I'll be mentioning all of the wonderful things that happened today. 

For my mom, I had gotten her these really yummy truffles! I absolutely loved how they tasted, so I assumed she would like them too. They were from Hapa cupcakes in downtown Fullerton. ♪(´ε｀ )

I had also picked up some gorgeous tulips for her too. She absolutely loves and adores potted plants, so I had gotten her one of those instead. 

Adorable, amazing 4" potted tulips. So much nicer than the regular rose bouquets. 

And last but not least, some really, really amazing gifts from my lovely loving friends.  Some amazingly fragrant candles from bath and body works, along with some sweet candies. 

So! That's been Valentine's Day and everything that mostly happened. Aside from cleaning of my studio and bedroom, and doing errands, and watching new television shows like "Snapped", "Unsuspected Culprits", and "Untold stories from the ER", not much has happened! I'll keep you all updated...or I'll do my best to try. Will go back to updating my blog for more art though! I haven't been on my laptop in a while, so I haven't been able to organize, edit, and upload any photos for my blog posts. Sorry lovelies ！(◎_◎;)

"You don't know how MATCHA you mean to me"

Helloooo~! So one of the gifts that I had gotten during Christmas was this adorable mug from Bianca. She's always been a really punny person, but I absolutely love that about her. She made it using a really, sweet technique that involved either a permanent marker or a ceramic marker on a ceramic mug! Then it was baked most likely. I couldn't imagine using it for anything like drinking liquids or the like...so  I now use it as a makeup holder! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) 

I love it~ it's absolutely adorable! 

Champagne & strawberry lollipops

Hello! This is mostly just a filler post to try and help myself get back on track for blogging! I've been SUPER busy and I apologize heavily. The other day, my mom and I were at Ross and we found these delicious lollipops! I had one and honestly it felt like such a blissful experience. Will definitely have to find more of these somewhere! ♪(´ε｀ )

Cerise hood

Hey guys! I haven't been posting for a while unfortunately due to school starting and I'd been trying to get a lot done (surprisingly)! I'll try and get back to blogging soon, but for the meantime please enjoy the picture of cerise hood that I made? I tried, I swear. 

Organization: a long & meticulous process

Wow, it's been a little hectic trying to blog and live life normally to be honest! Sorry for the wait again. I had the lovely opportunity to clean and organize my art studio! It's been rather rough trying to do all this because it takes FOREVER...but I'm sure it'll be worthwhile in the end. I'm loving it so far though! I'm trying to organize fabrics with similar fabrics and themed what nots with each other. It's been rather nice...I think! But then again it may be more frustrating than anything... ?  I've been getting a lot of donations for things...and I just want to make sure that they're easier for me to find and look for! Especially because I have a serious problem of buying too much and then having to buy more because I can't remember where I put it. (^◇^;) so...back to work I go!  

Nanami Chiaki Cosplay Test

Hey guys! Sorry for the erratic posts. It's been awkward trying to get myself back on track when I'm all over the place. Just looking at some of the photos in my gallery and the current posts that I have drafted are mostly from a while back.. or don't fit the blogging mood that I'm in.

Moving on with the post, I had recently cleaned my nanami wig while also adjusting my makeup style to better suit my nanami cosplay! It's rather old, I know but it's my first cosplay and I'll never let it go.

I had also gotten my hands on some gorgeous circle lenses from honeycolor.com that I'll be reviewing soon on my perfumepleasures blog. Overall, I like this much better because the look feels and seems to be more complete and fixed! The cosplay itself may need some fixing...but that's something I'll leave for future laarnie to handle.

Thanks for checking in! Follow through the read more for extra photos.
