Much needed pampering~

So, apparently last week was the last week for seasonal, and now got let go from Victoria's Secret :< They said they're keeping my application and they'll call back next holiday season if they need me again, but honestly I'm not trying to wait around and wait for that. Not at all.

It was nice working there though, even though I barely made money. I only made like what, less than 300 for the past three months? They barely gave me hours, but that was expected...

Their employee discount was banging though xD 30% off? pffttt yeahhh. I couldn't help myself and bought this and that every so often. wish I bought the Bombshell fragrance though :< Now that I don't have the discount... not really in the mood to spend 65 bucks on the bottle LOL



But now I'm back on the streets, more job hunting. I've considered doing school, but I'm still kind of nervous about going to Opi about it, that and the class doesn't start till like March anyways. The courses I want to take is like... Wedding & Event Planning Certificate course, which is an in-class course, and then there's the Preston Bailey Wedding & Event design certificate course which I believe is online... the thought of an online course is kind of meh, because I know I'll probably be hella lazy with it.

I'm not particularly in the mood to pull that up at the moment... and with Opi I'd have to pull up like, crime evidence and stuff LOL. It was funny when my brother went to him about college, not even knowing what he wanted to do or how much the tuition costs (like an idiot), but I don't want to be snarked at the same way by Opi xD I want to try and find current students and alumni and etc of the LWPI in Brooklyn College so I know it'll be worth my time...


But yeah. I'm going to visit a few places I applied to, see if they need anyone and if I could get a second interview and stuff. I'm hoping one of the places in the mall I worked in need another person, because that was probably the most convenient distance ever O: So hopefully I'll land something, so I don't have to worry about getting my grandparents annoyed about not being able to do anything (wouldn't really be my choice though, now would it?)



Monday I met up with mah girl Ashley now that she's back from Tokyo for a bit~ hung out with her, Mei, Yani and Laura + boyfran in Flushing for a little while, took purikura, eat, etc. (gonna try and put up pics later.) Not sure if I'm meeting up with her (and Eden and Lynn, I think?) but we'll see. I need to get my fill of her though, god knows when the next time I'll see her will be xD

In the meantime~ I just did a bit of a spa treatment to myself :3 Gave my hair a deep conditioning treatment, gave myself a chocolate milk pedicure and a honey-sugar facial~ I barely pamper myself so tonight felt soooo good. I'm so glad my hair's coming out silky and moisturized = u= and my feet smell like chocolate still, and my face all soft and silky~
Meant to do a long soak in the bathtub as well, plus an oatmeal body wrap, but it was getting late and I was getting lazy xD so maybe tomorrow or the day after I'll do that. Most -definitely- doing all that again to myself.

The recipes(?) I used, for my own future reference xD:

Honey-Sugar facial scrub~ from Michelle Phan's channel (I also ended up using this as a foot scrub))
*3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
*2 tbsp honey
*1/2 c granulated sugar

Lip scrub~ again, from Michelle Phan ((I can't stop eating this one >w>;;))
*1 tsp sugar
*2 tbsp honey
*some vaseline

Chocolate Milk foot soak~ add to warm water:
*chocolate
*warm milk
*sugar (to exfoliate the skin)

Oatmeal body wrap I'm gonna do soon:
* 1 c non-instant oatmeal
* 1 c warm milk


Now I should be trying to sleep. instead of like. inhaling chocolates.

21st birthday~




So the big 21 is coming up for me and my friend Laura :3 Mine is on Jan. 29th and hers is on Jan. 25th~
We decided to celebrate our birthday together with cake, booze, tea, and probably Korean BBQ xD

We had so many ideas on what to do (going to the spa, doing a photoshoot, going to x place, going to y place, making macarons, etc) but of course as we get closer and closer to the date we realized we can't celebrate exactly how we wanted to. So for now, on the 29th we're gonna dress in loli and head over to Flushing for some Rose House and purikura, and then if we feel like it, we're gonna go someplace for booze xD It's easier to do it on my birthday so we'll both be legal by then. To top it off, with my membership at Queen's Crossing, I'll be able to get two rose cakes for free = w= booze and cake all aroundddd


We were also going to twin, too. We both bought Little Bear Cafe replica from taobao, her in pink and mine in brown. So she was gonna dress up pinkxwhite, and I was gonna dress brownxpink (though I'm having issues between mint and pink...). But of course, DoL is taking too damn long to send out the dresses so we probably won't even have them on time. :< But we'll have a backup outfit in case that happens.

But my outfit plan so far...



I'm still not completely sure since 1) shit's probably not coming in on time, and 2) switching up the outfit = more money obv

Butttt there's the JSK, the original AP bow in brown? (the girl listed brown but had the kinari pic up... so I don't know if she was just too lazy to get the proper color off the site or if she didn't know the difference LOL. Either way the brown or the kinari version is good), and then An*tai*na boots in brown.

And then I was thinking of a high-neck blouse in pink... the one shown is my own, but I'd love to get one that's sheer if possible. I've been meaning to get one for a while now, for my Halloween outfit from 2010. Like this here . If I did that, then I'd wear my pink sparkle tights to go with. and then whatever little accessories to go with

If I went with mint... LOL I have no clue xD I'd go with that cardigan probably, but trying to put in more mint in the outfit would take a bit more thought. If I could find mint sparkle tights then cool, but I'm not sure if I'll be that lucky xD Maybe I could get a matching bag with accessories hanging off of that? I don't know. xD Gotta figure it out.

If it doesn't come on time, then that'll give me more time to put a better outfit together xD I want to get a new wig/hairpieces and everything xD And we'll just twin with the outfits for our hopefully upcoming birthday photoshoot :3 which might be a good month or two after the date but... that's ok xD And hopefully I'll have whatever other haul from taobao too, as well as my crap in Japan >:3


But yeah, if anyone in the area's interested in hanging out with us and going to Rose House and purikura and stuff, drop a line <3 I got a little event thingy on Facebook set up too.
