Quick Teasing!

So after cutting my hair, I didn't waste any time! I looked through lots of hair teasing videos to achieve visual kei hair, scene hair, and crazy Asian hair sprinkled with awesomeness! Tomorrow, I have declamation so I plan on doing a simple teasing. :D
Here is a wonderful user with great visual kei hair tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/cakdel
Watching her videos really gave me the inspiration to tease and so I learned! The problem with teasing is obviously the fact that your purposely making your hair full of knots for the exchange of volume! This would be pretty problematic...Also, teasing requires you to move the comb very quickly which could cause you to snap at your hair causing breakage and the uneventful split ends! Be careful!

Right now, my throat feels very...throaty? In other words, I feel sick. I noticed everyone in school has been down with at least one illness. I had an itchy throat, then a throat filled with mucus, and then a dry throat, and then a stuffy nose, and then it's back to a dry throat again.../Sigh. This happens at the beginning of spring every year! It gets annoying and it doesn't help that everyone else has the same problem around here. :( That also refers back to declamation...How am I supposed to enunciate with a dry throat?! Ahhhh, the horrible timing!!! Drats!

AB & Hair cut!

I'm so late! Here's a picture of the dress that I wore for Anime Boston:
It was really comfortable and I really liked the lace designs all over it. :) As for my makeup and hair, I just curled it in the morning and used simple black eyeshadow on my lids and under my eyes. When I left the convention center, SO many people gave me odd looks! (laughs) I passed by a 3 year old with her mom and she said, "Look Mommy! It's a real kitty!" She was referring to my cat ears!!! Best 3 year old ever.

Anyways, I had such a wonderful time! I glomped so many pokemon like a true fangirl! :) It was definitely the best AnimeBoston I've ever had. I even met one of the best World of Warcraft players in the world! He's one of the smartest men that walk the planet and he's hilarious! His wife must be lucky! Wahaha! So, he gave us tips on how to play our warlocks and I copied his talent tree for destruction. He's practically God in my eyes....The saddest part is I don't even remember his name...(Dies)

Onto the next topic:

I cut my own hair! Yes that's right! I followed this brilliant youtuber, x3haha, at cutting a mullet hairstyle! I also went ahead and started snipping at my hair and added some bangs!

Wahaha! This was me snipping my bangs last night. Here is this morning when I cut the mullet:
Well, this is an okay example. I promise it looks more like a leaf in real life! :)
This is the first time I've ever cut my hair by myself so I'm extremely satisfied compared to my old hair where I just clip a section up and call it bangs! Ahahaha...Anyways, I'm very happy with the result. It's not a perfect mullet; it's still very choppy and the layers aren't super distinctive from each other, but that's okay! I'll do better next time (maybe).

Here is a link to x3haha's video on how to cut the mullet. It takes her around 5 minutes...It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes! LOL. Well, what can I say? I have think hair! ;D (excuses excuses...) By the way, my hair is shorter than her's, but she's very concise and it's such an easy tutorial! Definitely my new favorite hair guru!

AB IS TOMORROW!

My excitement is jumping off the walls right now! I'm packing my supplies for tomorrow and all my junk! :) (Extreme happiness!)

On a side note, I bought Covergirl Lashblast Mascara and Covergirl smokyshadow blast in Onyx Smoke yesterday.

Covergirl Lastblast Mascara:
This is by far the best mascara I have ever used before! In fact, you don't even need to curl your lashes before using this. It's just amazing on its own. Also, there's no clumping! I also like the case. It's not difficult to remove either! The one problem is that you need to stay away from water or else it'll smear all over! Of course, that applies to non-waterproof mascaras of any type. This is just the best one I've used so far!
This product is pretty famous and I think it's one of Covergirl's most prized products. A lot of celebs swear by this mascara and a lot of reviewers tend to like it too! I'm certainly one of them. :)



I really liked the feel of the smokyshadow blasts. The nice thing about this is that it's packed like lipstick for your eyes! You turn the tube and more comes out! :) The colors glide on very nicely and they look pretty together. The only problem is that if you put a lot of force into it, you might end up breaking the stick, so don't use too much force with these sticks.

These are a nice and easy way to do your eyes very quickly. It doesn't take any brush and it's so quick and painless! :) You can carry it anywhere without it even looking like makeup. in fact, it looks like a duel-wielded crayon!

Back to business! Anime Boston! Yes! I'll soon post pictures of the dress and a few cosplayers that I will be seeing tomorrow <3 Fun stuff!

Getting Ready for AB!

Yesss! I know, I know. It's still 3 weeks away, but I can't contain my excitement!


Anime Boston is a large New England anime convention hosted in Boston, MA. I've attended every convention for 3 years and this will be my 4th time going there! Anime conventions have always been excitement for me :). I love looking at the cosplayers and being able to make friends with everyone at the convention! It seems that everyone who goes is almost a part of a long distance family. Not to mention, it's a huge convention center which means that there is always a lot of people.

This year, I will be in a brand new gothic lolita dress. Last year, I dressed in black with white ribbons which I got from an ebay seller for $38. This year, I got a beautiful white dress with black ribbons and lace trimmings for $12!! :) I'm very happy. I definitely suggest ebay for any sort of costumes that you might want. I also use ebay to shop for Korean/japanese inspired clothing. It's a lot cheaper than the brandname websites, but they look the same!

As for hair and makeup, I will be putting my hair up in nice himegyaru curls~! For makeup, I will be following Michelle Phan's Tim Burton look on YT. If you haven't seen Michelle Phan's videos, you're missing ou on a lot of life! :) (www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan) She's extremely inspirational and has changed my view on makeup.

Now on to the topic of SHOES....I don't want to have to resort to silver sandals with a pure white dress...

I also need a pair of thigh high socks...hmmm....

Lots of thinking to do! Ah well, I've got 3 weeks. :)

My Stys

For almost 3 years, I've had stys on my eyelids. Stys are caused by either oily skin, makeup, or contacts. Generally, my family have had stys before, but they were temporary. Stys can go away on their own after a certain amount of time. If stys do show up, it is advised to use a warm compress against the area twice a day.

However, I have had my stys for 2 whole years without going to see a doctor. It's too late for me to use compresses for it to go away--I need minor surgery.

I've never had surgery before so you can imagine how scared I am. Stys don't impair your vision, but they do create big ugly bumps on your eyes. I do want the surgery, but I'm also afraid of what could happen. I know it's just minor surgery, but I'm still afraid. After the doctor's visit, I immediately started crying for a hard hour. My mom was there trying to ease my mood, but it didn't work.

I just thought about all that could go wrong. I thought about how much I wanted this surgery because of a materialistic reason that they're "ugly." Am I really that obsessed with vanity that I would pay money to get these off my face? Am I really the type to care so much about public opinion that I would cause myself potential blindness for a chance of clear eyes?

The answer is: yes. I am admitting to myself that I am doing this for vanity reasons, but I'm also doing this out of fear. Sometimes, when stys stretch, they can cause small twangs of pain--almost close to the pain of a contact lense that is inserted incorrectly. I don't want my stys to also become infected. If that were to happen, I would be in larger trouble than I already am now. Almost as an intervention, I can rest assured that my reasons for clearing my stys are not for just vanity. They are for the pure amount of health concerns...

Yet, that doesn't push away my edging fear of surgery...

I know that people survive surgery all the time and since this is a minor case, it won't have as many problems or potential injuries, but who can blame me for being scared? There's nothing to do, but let those anesthetics take me over so it can be done with.

New Haircut...

I got a haircut :( Extremely disppointed...
My mom told me that I could finally get what I want: full frontal bangs and lots of layers while keeping my length...but when my stylist was JUST about to cut my bangs, she said, "are you SURE?" At that point, I started to doubt what I wanted and she was becoming a great influence over my mother.
At the end, I got long angled bangs, long layers, and a random fringe...(Sad face) Did I mention she chopped 2 inches off my hair? I didn't realize 2 inches was that much. -_- I'm not one of those lucky people who grow an inch every month. I grow 7 inches in a whole year ~_~ ughughgughgugh.
By the end of march, I intend to go to a different salon and get the bangs that I want and the layers that I want. :( Now my hair falls 2 inches past my shoulders and when it's this short, I can't curl it at all! I really wanted to be able to curl my hair during Anime Boston....it can't happen unless my hair suddenly grows back its missing 2 inches. :( Please please please grow.
