I found an old blog by a gal named Ain and I read through the whole thing ✩
One of my favorite hobbies to be honest w

This post really stood out to me

Funny

Its been so long since my last blog post, isn't it how funny life can get in the way?

Truth is nothing is in your way unless you make it.

If you value something, you will make it happen.

And this was something I didn't value until today.. until I realized I missed that life that I thought I lost. Why can't I have it back and have it even better.

Yesterday, my managers roommate asked me, "Hey you were on TV in Japan right?? I think I saw you when you were there, you look so different now!"

Something kind of clicked and yes I did look different, life changed me physically, emotionally, and I just needed to see life in different ways. In the end it's what makes YOU happy that's worth it. So I'm coming back, slowly, but doing what I love!

Xoxo

Unfortunately, the next post after was a link to her next blog that is offline so if she came back to blogging, her older blog is all that's left (*´-`)
But this has been on my mind a lot and something I always think about (　˙-˙　)

I used to have so many friends but they all eventually disappeared (´；ω；`)
One of my strongest beliefs about people is this (*´ー｀*)

But I guess this is something only few think about (^_^)a

☆ふぅ☆

The week is finally over ♪♪♪

First week of the month is always difficult at work (｡-_-｡)

I just have one more full week of work and then vacation time ヽ(；▽；)ノ
We're also using that time to get the baby bunny spayed and to celebrate Tank's birthday ☆彡

We don't know what we'll be doing yet but we will be in Las Vegas so hopefully it will be fun ★★★

I just hope I will not end up overeating (￣∇￣)
I have been trying to eat smaller portions and not takeout (＞人＜;)
It's slowly working but it can be difficult (・Д・)

And I am still trying to perfect Megu's make style (￣∇￣) 

I think I'm getting it but if not I did find a magazine that she wrote about in her blog that will have a tutorial (*´꒳`*)

☆ディズニー☆

In the evening, hubby and I did our weekly food shopping at Walmart (it's our only "superstore") (°▽°)

Lately we've been looking at the game section and found a new one to get! (⌒▽⌒)

It's like Trivial Pursuit but Disney and it is so cute ☆彡

I just can't believe he won both times (・Д・)

☆パーク☆

Today we did the heart walk in the early morning ♪♪♪

It was at a local park and some brought dogs (ᵔᴥᵔ)

Unfortunately we didn't get to finish all the laps because one of the staff said no dogs allowed (；ω；)

So we finished our first and only lap before returning home (T . T)

Very disappointing (｡-_-｡)

☆かわいい U・x・U☆

Hubby and I went out after work today （＾∇＾）

We had to pick up a few things including big girl hay for the baby bun (´；ω；`)

And a new toy! ♪♪♪ So far she's chinned and bit it w (≧∀≦)

☆ライフ☆

There are some days where I really wish I could have been a charisma gal model ( ・∇・)

My blog would definitely be a lot more interesting w
ヽ(；▽；)ノ

It's been really trying with my job some days (＞人＜;)

Makes me wonder if there is something better out there for me ( ´∀｀)

☆ゲーム☆

Last night, Hubby and I went out for a game night! ＼(^ω^)

We wore our matching Monster Hunter shirts (o^^o)

One of our friends from work got a new house so it was like a housewarming party too w ♪♪♪

We got pizza and played some fun card games ☆彡

Makes me really want to get Horrible Therapist (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) It was so funny (≧∀≦)

☆メーク☆

Lately, I've been feeling a lot of ups and downs    (￣^￣) so I've only been updating my blog when I have the energy ヽ(；▽；)ノ

Or maybe it's the weather? Work? Life? (*´-`)

Makes me wonder if everyone is doing okay ♪♪♪

I've been trying to practice doing my make like Megu (＾ｰ^)

Do you think it came out okay? ☆彡

I hope I feel better soon so I can blog more (^з^)-☆

☆つばさ!☆

My book order came in and I got some good magazines! ♪♪♪

But I really wanted to show you these (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

I still can't believe these came as a set together ☆

I have always wanted these and I hope I can learn to read them (*´-`) They have such gorgeous photos (^з^)-☆

Okay off to bed now! ☆彡

☆2025.16.3☆

Today it was strongly suggested I go on yet another food shopping trip ( ・∇・)

It wasn't necessary I go but I went anyway (￣∇￣)

Thankfully it ended up not being so bad but whatever ★☆★

It was another casual co*de but I wanted to show you my Easter gets! ♫

They were just too cute to pass up (〃ω〃)

The bunny is supposed to smell like chocolate but it's more like a perfume (・・?)

Also my apologies if you see some annoying ads! (*´∀｀*) Apparently I set some sort of experiment with google and can't turn it off till it's done m(_ _)m

☆MEGU★BLOG☆

So I might be entering a new gal era with a new big inspo （＾∇＾）

Lately, I've been really looking at Megu's old blog ☆彡

The more I read the more I love her style and I'm so shocked it took me this long ♪♪♪

I now see what Georgie loved cause now I love it too! I even cut my bangs (Sorry Aina! w) (//∇//)

I'll be trying her make style this week - wish me luck! ★☆★

☆もうすぐです☆

Finally on the final day of the work week! (*´꒳`*)

I wanted to do some cute co*des this week but it's been so gloomy and rainy (´；Д；`)

And of course cold like winter! ヽ(；▽；)ノ

I really can't wait for the spring so it can be a bit warmer (・∀・)

Wish me luck for today~ ☆彡

☆｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡☆

This morning I woke up feeling nauseous and with a headache ( ；∀；)

I know I went to bed with the headache but I thought a full nights sleep would take care of it    (。-∀-)

Guess I was wrong Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）

Hopefully I can work today with no issues ( ；∀；)

☆もうない☆

I was chatting with my mom earlier and it made me realize something （・□・；）

She was looking for cute stationery like from when I was a teen and heavily into the random characters I would find at local stationery shops ☆ Some of them being from Japan or Korea, Sanrio and Morning Glory and things like that   (°ロ°) ! There were even shops online ♪

But now they're all gone (--;)・・・ The physical shops shut down or the business is gone entirely (>_<)

Find here

You can find a lot secondhand but it will definitely cost you （；￣д￣）

It makes me sad that all of that cute stuff is no longer being made (ﾉД) So many people just would go to Amazon and T*mu and stop supporting the companies that started it all (＃￣ω￣)

Do they still exist where you are? How do you find cute character items?

☆2025.8.3☆

Today is a comfy outfit! o(≧▽≦)o

I thought we were heading to spring but it hailed here and snowed in the nearby mountains (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞  So warm clothes are a must! ♪

I wonder if it's just the gloomy weather or something (ﾉД) I don't know the right words so I'll just say that ★ Yesterday was really bad and made my husband sad but he still tried to encourage me (; ω ; )ヾ(´∀* )

So here I am forcing myself to get dressed and blog 
(/ω＼)

☆Haaaiii☆

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments on my last post! (≧◡≦) ♡

Life has been getting kind of difficult so doing little things like my make, blogging and taking fun oldschool pics have been keeping my spirits a little up ☆

I'll be on vacation next month so as long as I can hold on till then, I hope it will re-energize me! ♡ (￣З￣)

Lately I've been thinking about even deleting my Insta like some others have. ★★ I don't know if it will help my mood but I also think about the few people I still talk to that only use that app and not other things like LINE (￣□￣」)

Sometimes I do wish the internet was still the old way and there were more fun things to do other than living on SNS o(>< )o

☆2025.1.3☆

So I didn't realize that when I tried putting the sd card into the phone, it needed to be closed (￣▽￣)ゞ

I guess I'm just used to plug and play? But I got it working now! ↑ Thankfully it can read up to 2gb ★

So have another pic test from the actual phone itself! ♫

The difference between back and front camera w

This does remind me that I have to get at least a couple more cards for other phones

After all that, Tank and I went out ♡

He had to get boots and luckily he found them in the first store! ( ´ ▽ ).｡ｏ♡

So we ran around to different stores and he got the new Yugioh game with the special card! ★

We ended the night at one of our favorite Chinese restaurants ♪♪♪

☆ただいま☆

Finally! The week is over! ヽ(ー_ー )ノ

This time I really couldn't blog at all. ( ; ω ; ) I was scheduled for full days so I was exhausted by the time I got home↓

But with the new month, I am back! ☆ 

At least until the next full week I have to work in a couple of weeks

Anyway, I wanted to show you the pics I was able to take with my "new" keitai ♪♪♪

I was able to put it in English so it's a lot easier to navigate. But unfortunately I do not have a way of getting my pics off of it so here they are as pics taken with another old keitai w Hopefully I can find an sd card it can read soon!☆

As far as I can tell there's no deco app but I can still do basic edits which are pretty nice

They're def not as clear as my Sony but it's still a work in progress ★

I do like that it auto fixes blemishes and stuff like that 
( ´ ∀ )ノ～ ♡

☆ここにある☆

Gets time! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

I finally got my most recent order in the mail♪♪♪

Thankfully everything fits cause I'm so excited about what I got★

These first few items were sold as a set with most being offbrand. Which is totally fine - they're still very cute! o(>ω<)o

I found this in the pocket! w

I got very lucky with these!♫

And I found the keitai phone model that Megu used for a long time in her blogs! (´｡• ᵕ •｡) So far it doesn't let me put it in english but I'm still trying with it

Could you believe this order started because I needed lashes? I also found a cute necklace and bralette!

Next month I should have another order coming soon ♪♪♪

☆＼(￣▽￣)／☆

Woooo I disappeared again w

Some days it's just difficult after a long day at work↓

But I also don't really have much to say o(>< )o

I don't want this blog to be just complaining 

Hoping that as the weather gets nicer I'll be in a better mood ♫

Winter blues is a real thing people w

Plus I can't wait to wear less layers ( ´ ▽ )☆

☆N E W☆

Sorry didn't get to post again yesterday! ▼・ᴥ・▼

I got into my little project almost  as soon as we got home from shopping ♪♪♪

Can you guess what it will be? (・ω<)

I also got this cute cup since it had cute bunny butts 
٩( ᗒᗨᗕ )۶

☆2025.15.2☆

I guess I'm making a quick trip for errands first thing this morning ˚‧º·(˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)‧º·˚

Just finished breakfast for myself and pets and finalized a new package! (´• ω •`) ♡

So now I have to get some things done for my husband (┳◇┳)

And of course he wants Dutch Bros. (￣ε￣＠)

No make for today but loving the co*de! ♪♪♪

Post again later~ ★★☆

☆おばあちゃん☆

I thought I was doing better this time(*´-`)

But it’s always going to be difficult I guess ( ；∀；)

Today is my grandma’s birthday (*´ω｀*)

But we lost her in 2009 (>_<)

I dreamt about her this morning and feeling her presence all day ★

It’s been so long since I did that ☆彡

I wonder what it all means♪♪♪

☆はい？☆

Isn’t my baby cute?╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I always wondered if tags were actually useful for blogs(・∀・)

Sometimes I put a lot of tags on posts but do they do anything? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sometimes I don’t even know which to use w ★☆

☆ドリーム☆

Ever since the new year started my dreams have been very active and I have trouble falling asleep m(._.)m

None of them make sense and don’t go together（´-`）.｡oO

I haven’t dreamt in a while so it surprised me when it started again (*´-`)

Does anyone have strange dreams like this?         (；ω；)

☆2025.7.2 メーク☆

Here is yesterday's make~ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

I was so proud of it since it came out so nice♪♪♪ I look so pale though(Ｔ▽Ｔ)

Also I wanna thank you guys for always being so kind(*ˊᗜˋ*)/ᵗᑋᵃᐢᵏ ᵞᵒᵘ*

I really appreciate those comments you left on my last post♡

It's hard to remember sometimes but I'm glad that you guys can remind me✰

Also I can't believe I have to buy a new plug for my laptop（>﹏<）

Our baby bunny has been so naughty so we'll have to get her a foraging box and more toys!(￢з￢)

Hopefully I can find one online for a decent price★★☆

☆ごめん(＞人＜;)☆

I wanted to blog so much more this week!(＞人＜;)

Unfortunately it was just a bad combo of having a boring life and work（´-`）

It was fun pretending I had a lot going on over this past weekend so I blogged multiple times（╹◡╹）♪

But I guess that doesn’t always translate well during the work week unless I had the life of a gal model |(￣3￣)|

Maybe I can try again this coming week♪♪♪

Since I’m just doing this blog for myself, I’m not trying to impress anyone ( ´ ▽ ` )

It’s just my open diary and a place for my honest feelings♪

Sorry if you guys expected more(・∀・)

But I do appreciate those who read my posts!☆彡

☆(ᗒᗨᗕ)☆

Well it was a little successful┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

I found a rug for our puppy so he doesn't slip★☆

And I wanted our room to be a bit nicer especially in the bathroom♪♪ So I bought this rack where we could store some stuff( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I'm definitely on the hunt now to decorate our bare walls a bit(*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

☆ショッピング☆

Heading out for a bit!（＾∇＾）

Hopefully find what I’m looking for at Ross. ★☆

Wish me luck!（╹◡╹）

☆はい、できました☆

After about three hours at the salon it's finally done!♪♪♪

I am happy to have my hair set but wow that was a long time|(￣3￣)| I don't know how the oldschool gals did it for so long(￣▽￣)

Anyway - here is what it looks like after styling the front★彡

I had her trim the ends, fix up my bangs and layers and do highlights and color!( ^ω^ )

What do you think?♪♪♪

☆ヘアカット☆

At the hairdressers now! (*^o^*)♪♪♪ Getting much needed color and trim! ★彡

Hopefully close to my dream of Aina-inspired style!(￣▽￣)

☆レスポンス☆

Hallo!♪ ♪ ♪
Today I decided to go even more oldschool and do comment replies in some posts!( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I figure since Google doesn't give me a notification when my comments on other blogs are responded to, you guys will see them here!✮ 

Because sometimes I forget（=´∇｀=）

Anyway!(ノ*゜▽゜*)
Replying to your comments on last post!✩✩✩

Sparklewolfie: I've never seen that brand locally but I do see them online!↑↑↑ I will definitely look into them and see if I can find something suitable for me（⌒▽⌒ゞ Thank you!♡

Rae Melody: I am always open to ordering things online!↑↑↑ Especially since there's not much available locally (;﹏;) But thank you for the tips - that definitely helps★ I will check out that brandヽ(〃･ω･)ﾉ I have actually never used anything with honey before w

黒い Amiman: Ohhhh I didn't even think that some products can have that effect（・□・；）Thank you for the heads up✩ Also glad you found a good replacement♪♪♪ And now that we have that new Marshalls I can check to see if we have those brands - Thank you!ヾ（〃＾∇＾）ﾉ♪

☆スキンケア☆

Now that I've been out here in the desert🌵 especially during the winter, my skin has gotten worse(✖╭╮✖)

My face was always a bit of both oily and dry but now it's really bad⬇⬇⬇ Like it's more dry now(;﹏;) But it's so hard to find anything that will work with my skin that won't break the bank or is CF🔔

I want to get back into wearing full face make but with my skin, I don't want it to get worse（ ; ; ）

Does anyone have suggestions?🙏 I don't really have beauty stores near me to help😓

☆デート☆

This past Monday we decided to go shopping around Bullhead since I had the day off♪ ♪ ♪

Tank suggested it would be a good date night so we could end it with dinner at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants!（。＞ω＜）。 We did buy a few things✩ w Mostly blind boxes from different collections( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I found some cute ones for some of the girls at work while I found more Monster High ones♪ ♪ ♪

Hubs found some car ones of course.(*~▽~) I managed to find one pair of cute jeans to replace my ripped ones finally.💞 My jeans are always ripping in the thigh area first.＼| ￣ヘ￣|／

Anyway, we ended the night at the restaurant and I got the best orange crispy tofu and Tank got teriyaki chicken💓

This fish kept staring at me during the whole meal w

On another note - does anyone know if there is an easy way to post to blogger in mobile? I heard bad things about this one blogger app that posts end up disappearing and I don't want to go through that stress. Please let me know if there is an easy way! Maybe I'll get to post more that way when I'm not at home.
