went to nordstrom’s rack and got some pretty jewelry for great prices :D :D

first, i picked this necklace that used to be $85 for $37.97! it’s a really pretty turquoise and gold. it’s not heavy at all, either ^_^

the back is really pretty, too! it’s kinda long…but i like it that way :)

i also got a bracelet! i was deciding between this style bracelet or an actual charm bracelet type thing that was the same color, but i like this one because it’s more obvious and matches my nail color. BWAHHAHA!! :D

this one used to be $55 but went down to $19.95 PLUS 25% off which = $14.97 :D

the back of this one is also really really pretty! :)

lastly, i go this military esque bracelet. it’s the weird bangle type thing that can get bigger and smaller by molding it or something o__O idk. i always feel like it’s gonna snap but then doesn’t. O: it was $10!

i wore my varsity jacket to norstrom rack and tried on the bracelet with it, ad i think it looks really cool :D

awesome picture of me midjumping

LOLOLOLOLOL

stay tuned! :D

there’s seriously nothing better than a quick trip to nijiya :) (japanese market).

i finally convinced my mom to get me new eyelashes! and liquid eyeliner.

although it wasn’t cheaper than buying online; more convenient, but not cheaper. $17.99 each -o-

the eyelashes feel so real! it’s scary! D: i had to trim them too, which i felt guilty about for some reason…

the liquid eyeliner goes on really smoothly though. they’re both adorable!

^ so delicate! :D

v tsubasa! so cute! we’ll start with the eyeliner first.

it’s in a cute package, slightly thicker than the pencil eyeliner, and it has purple lettering rather than black. the cap is similar to a crayola marker cap XD it snaps!

VERY delicate at the tip, like a japanese calligraphy pen ^o^

no, that’s not a deformed..mole on my hand? i tested the brush stroke and it absorbed into the creases on the back of my hand. oOoOOOOoOOoOO!!! O:

i used an instruction book they had for free to guide me! if you’d like to buy one it’s in my shop :D :D :D be quick! there’s only one! O:

it comes with all the models for the 8 different eyelashes, and a tutorial on how to use both eyeliners (liquid and pencil) and how to apply the lashes properly ;) and an intro from tsubasa. ee!

anyway, on to how it turned out! i already have thick eyelashes from my iranian dad, but then they don’t curl up from my taiwanese mom. sigh! so these eyelashes look extra dramatic. and my eye looks really brown o__O

better lighting *o* as you can see, the left is really super dramatic and the right is completely bare. you can see that my eyelashes don’t really lift, but they’re really dark >_< and curlers make it look awkward! or maybe my eyelash curler is just really bad >.>

gah! i’m not used to looking at such long lashes on myself! LOLOLOLOLOLOL! :D

i know, i’m kind of nooby at applying the lashes and i put it too far away. but i’m trying! i’m learning!

for those of you who ONLY want to see how the liquid eyeliner looks, look below XD

this is after i took off the eyelashes so it looks less dramatic, but it’s a really great brush and i recommend getting it :) although i think if you’re deciding between dolly wink brushes and sephora, sephora is better XD i just didn’t have a liquid eyeliner so i chose this one.

ON ANOTHER NOTE! WHO LIKES HOME ALONE? NOW THEY SELL T-SHIRTS!

this one is my favorite! it shows the entire battle plan from the first and second movies…aka the only good ones! xD

kevin mccallister! my saviour :)

and this one is like the toy store that they have in the movie !

shame that it’s not a real store; but it’s pretty darn close to FAO schwartz so that’s okay.

gah! so cute :)

peace out. wait, what?

it’s pretty lovely.

i got some shopping done finally, yesterday! i guess it counts as my presents…even though i didn’t buy anything i especially asked for. OH WELL!

i also met up with a japanese exchange student named yurika  from a few years ago. she’s super adorable and gave me this gift.

she also told me that my exchange student is now an anchor in japan! WOW! i’m so happy for her :)

she gave me ‘ichigo’ (strawberry) chocolate candies, a kirby…candy? LOL

and the thing that say pure is this sweet and sour gummy. i ate them all already though @__@

the bag is so cute. i’m keeping it forever. like i do for all my other bags and tags and stuff. ^_^

so first i went to H&M. got this cute striped top! i don’t have anything like this so yay.

i also finally bought a non-turtleneck sweater from H&M. it’s nothing special but that’s what i like about it :)

it’s REALLY ITCHY  THOUGH D:<

merry christmas!

even though i don’t celebrate it anymore >_<

this post is only of my makeup. i’ll make another with the clothes! XD

i got my sephora package on wednesday! i was so upset. it came at 7:06 PM. wtf? D: usually mail comes at like 3 PM! plus, i ordered on december 15. lskdfjsdjf.

it only cost me $0.78 though! thank god for the $15 off coupon :)

i think it’s perfume and a facewash thing. my freebies ^_^

so stupid..i was supposed  to receive an eyeshadow and i never did…like as a freebie. DAMMIT. whatever.

i tried the purity facecloth; it’s pretty good, but nothing special i guess.

i also got a free primer!! ^_^ it’s the tarina tarantino pearl glow primer.

however…i don’t like it as much as the one made by two faced. but it really does make me sparkle i guess :]

EW my hair. sorry. LOL >_>

two faced primer sample; gonna buy the full one ASAP!

and..the nail polish! it’s from OPI in read my palm. it’s kind of a turquoise/mint. :]

i’ll have my actual shopping in another post.

hope you like it! i now love OPI. :D

SO i was grounded on tuesday unfortunately for ‘attempting to run away from home’ when really i was trying to take a bus to a shopping mall…which i’d done before and is really safe ESPECIALLY at 11 AM. LOL. so i was forced to listen to horrible radio stations. i’ve memorized like the top 10 on itunes now. it sucks.

however, one radio called WiLD 94.9 is giving out $100 every hour if you have the ‘secret password’ that they tell you like 5 mins before the hour strikes. i wanted to enter but i didn’t have a computer or phone cuz my mom confiscated it. maybe i’ll enter tomorrow. but for anyone in the bay area; it’s every hour of december 2010 and they’re giving out $100. :D

ANYWAYS so back on topic, i got so bored and remembered that my friend ashlyn wanted to see my collection of erasers. so i pulled out my box that was in the corner of my desk and sorted them. surely they were a blast to play with.

i keep the erasers in a totoro box thing that i got…it was and is the only present i’ve ever gotten from my little brother. we were at a japanese book store, kinokuniya, and i wanted a totoro calendar really badly but my little brother was being a fuss face and demanded to get it for himself for no reason. so then for christmas he just put it in the box and gave it to me. he was…idk, 9? back when he was cute XD

warning LOTS OF PICS!

aaah all my erasers ahaha!

these erasers i bought in packs at ichiban kan; a popular $1 store that used to be in san mateo, CA.

i was so afraid to use them; i think i still am! and…wow idk why that elephant is lurking in the corner there…it’s not part of the pack! HAHAHA!! but it’s still cute i guess.

(the hamster ones below are scented and say ‘CHIBI HAM’ on them! LOL! XD)

now the eraser stick thing on the left i got as a present in 5th grade; i wonder why i haven’t used it yet? O:

and the flip flops i got as a birthday goodie in 3rd grade.

i have this random one that does magic tricks? LOLOL

these are ALL of the underwater erasers i have. they’re all fishes. XD actually these were my brothers’ when they used to like them. the reason we have like 2 of everything is because my older brother bought a set but lost it, and bought another…and found the lost one. LOL. and some are misplaced but are seawater-esque so there.

bird’s eye view:

onto FOOD! fast food, to be specific. oh, what have we come to:

fast food…AND dessert? hmm.

AND mini calpico? OHOHOHOH  IT’S A PARTY ON SARA’S DESK!

my favorite set is definitely the dessert set. it’s so lolita and cute :)

oh, and on the very right is this random spaghetti plate O: and on the verrry right is a mini bento thing LOL idk

and these are misc. erasers!

the orange standing hamster and the 4 2D hamsters are the first ones i ever got when i was like 10.

all of the mini erasers below the frog/duck are from around 3rd grade. sushi is from my brother’s birthday party when i was in 3rd grade. the bunny with no arms and legs is from my friend in 7th grade HAHAHA!

wah…someone gave me the green one but i forget now! i’m so sorry! :(

bird’s eye view:

these are random erasers or eraser toppings i got along my life.

most are from 2nd grade. the purple eraser is from 5th grade. that one has an interseting story XD

for our christmas presents in 5th grade, all the teachers put erasers in our cubbies. me and this guy named elyh were the only ones who got purple and everyone was really jealous. and the green one is an extra one i found that someone had lost i guess o__O

the one that says 40 on it is for some reason really soft…and it’s really good for erasing. my teacher gave us all little art kits that had crayons in them and these erasers were part of it.

the rainbow fail square erasers i got in 2nd grade at a book fair. i used them like heckkkkk haha.

and the hello kitty one on top is from when my mom subscribed to a hello kitty craft kit thing in some book fair magazine that i used to get at school. did anyone else get those? O: they like send you stuff monthly and you pay like $50? no? just me? eh.

and umm…these are random cute things i found in the box too ^_^

the blue monkey thing is an eraser topper and was given to me in 4th grade from this guy named winslow. haha.

and the pig keychain i used to have like 10 colors of, and it says oracle on it.

snoopy i used to put on my messenger tokidoki bag haha.

the dice is the sam story as the purple eraser- i was the only one who got cool dice, and everyone else got weird like 12 sided die O: (die! get it! plural of dice XD)

the dog patch i got at a scrapbooking store for my 4th grade birthday..

that’s all the stuff in this pic that has a story >_<

putty :) the dark pink one i got from MAIDO, where i got the rest of my sealife and food erasers, and it’s supposed to be peach smelling XD. the light pink and light blue ones are these hello kitty putties that my brothers used to like o__O LOLOLOL

the maido near me closed, so now they only have one in san francisco in the westfield and one at santana row in san jose. both equally far from me. -sighhhhhh-

and i got this penguin keychain from my friend mackenzie for christmas. i gave her a christmas ornament thing and she got me this. aah i love it. :]

OH! and not forgetting the ones i got from ashlyn (donut) and moments before diamond’s giveaway:

sorry it’s teeny :( it’s a softserve, donut, and…like a frozen donut hole or something LOL

that’s it! i’ll have another post about makeup up tomorrow! :D

hey everybody!

so basically a week ago, i entered a contest on facebook literally at the last minute to win one of three of the rilakkuma characters in the ‘rilakkuma shop’ outfits  that can only be bought at the limited stores in japan.

i came across this contest because i was wondering if there would be a pop up shop for rilakkuma in san francisco someday, since there was one in LA and one recently in culver city, CA. so the girl whose blog i was looking at who had posted pics of the event in culver city told me to go to the official english san-x facebook page. which i did. and lucky for me they were ending a contest as soon as i entered ^_^

proud to say, i was one of the winners! unfortunately not rilakkuma BUT korilakkuma which is still really adorable!

oh, and let me add that they shipped it friday and it came MONDAY! FAST FAST :)

you only had to answer 5 what seemed to be simple questions:

1. What is Rilakkuma the most insecure about? [a: having his zipper lowered]

2. Which part of Rilakkuma’s body Kiroitori would bite when Kiroitori is upset? [a: tail]

3. What costume did Rilakkuma debut for the Rilakkuma 5th Anniversary? [a: all dressed as kings!]

4. What would kind of Rilakkuma goods would you like to be able to purchase in the U.S.A? [a: i said, more of the plushies  that are usually only available in japan ;o;]

5. Please list your full legal name, mailing address with zipcode & email address. [a: :D]

out of the people who answered right, they would pick 3 random winners. i’m really lucky i guess! :D :D

here are my photos now; it arrived in a small box, and inside was this ADORABLE double sided bag…

and rolled up inside, was……..!

IT’S SO SORT AND CUTE AND AAAAAAAAH! the apron is somewhat removable but i dont want to take it off.

i’m so happy! it’s so rare, and on ebay it’s worth $50! @___@ i just feel so special right now.

a new one, for the collection! yee haw.

the bag is hanging above my desk now. aahhhh it’ll be cute to look at when i go to sleep:

(from the angle of my bed, sorta)

chillin with some of the new compadres. i bet kori feels weird next to his clone that doesn’t have an apron o__O

(they’re the same material, too! except i bought the non-apron one in the sanrio store for $10 and the matching rilakkuma one in japan for like $8 XD)

and other news; I BEAT QWOP! if you don’t know what that is, it’s this impossible running game in which you must use the keys QWOP to run. it’s like impossible. i beat it in 12 minutes though! (from 5:22 PM to 5:34 PM BWAHAHAHA)

my proof pics [i know what you're thinking; WOW SARA'S AWKWARD]

ew fat thighs IM SORRY

ANYWAYSSSSSSSS

i’ll be making another post soon, about my friend’s birthday, my cats XD, gemma correll [new favorite artist] and more. i should have another haul soon too; still waiting on my sephora order i made OVER a week ago…it’s gonna be crummy, guys.

OH! and i just sold my dr martens! too bad if you missed out! :P just kidding, but yes i did sell them. sorta. just waitin’ on a payment. ^_^
