♡ Back to Blogging! + Thinking of Becoming a Gyaru ~ + Wishlist ♡

Hey lovies! ~ I haven't updated my blog since last summer!
I know it's been such a long time, but all I actually do think about is blogging, but I've just been waiting until I've come to a point where I've owned a better camera, had a job with decent income, and became more confident with myself!
... None of those things have happened yet. Ahaha, I feel like I'm almost raising the bar for myself too high! I know I can do it, I just have to become more motivated, right?
On another topic, for the past couple years and so, I've been thinking about becoming a gyaru! I've just been lurking from a distance for a long time now,and I feel like I'm just missing out. Girls and boys who decide to enter a gyaru(-o) lifestyle seem like they must require confidence and know how to make their look look fab. I am not quite sure if I can do this quite yet, but I want to slowly get into it. I feel like I'm already good with makeup (although I've never used falsies, which is required with gyaru), but as far as dressing myself -- meh. It's not like I can't dress myself, because I feel like I can, it's just that my chubby-ness limits me from wearing certain things. My style is rather girly -- dresses, skirts, bows, frills, pastels, big cardigans, etc. Just things like that! I'm rather on the chubby side, so losing weight is a must! I honestly don't want to be a considered a chubby gal... blah blah blah
Anyway, the type of sub-gyaru I want to be is either between roma gyaru (romantic gal) or himekaji (casual princess -- slightly different from hime gyaru and more toned down).
I currently do not want to be a gal with an extreme look going on because I'm 15 and a sophomore in high school. It's kind of hard when you're surrounded by all these teenagers who would probably be like "watdaFUQ is she doin'?" Although, since the dress-code at my school is not harsh what-so-ever (honestly, everyone disregards the rules), more kids at my high school are able to express themselves and I think people here are just used to it (but to a certain extent). Also, there are my parents who do understand what I like and all, but I don't think they'll be able to handle something like rokku, hime, and things of that nature.
My biggest inspirations for fashion at the moment are Pikarin, Kumiko (Kumicky) Funayama, Sayoko Ozaki, Juria Nakagawa, Okarie, and Amo! ~

Aren't they just so beautiful?

♡ July Haul + Mini-Review on Mint Julep Masque + Vacation Post Coming Up ♡

HELLOGUYS. ❥ Ignore super un-combed hair. (It grew about 10 1/2 inches in less than a year!)

This is actually my first ever haul (for a blog) to be honest. I am completely new when it comes to blogging and all things that go into it, but I hope that I can do so well. As the majority of you should know, collective hauls usually involve with products that I have picked up throughout a certain time frame. Since I haven't actually done huge shopping sprees in like a few stores and just picking up a few things at multiple stores, I have decided that a collective haul would be a much better choice.
I have used each product or have worn one of the clothing/accessories from this month. Therefore, I am going to give mini-reviews on several products. Not all because some of them simply do not need explaining or I have decided to avoid it for now. Forgive me if there was something in particular you wanted to know about; I could get back to it later.

Right now I'm on vacation in Jeykll Island, so all these pictures are being taken here.

❤ Quick side note: I will attempt making this blog super picture heavy so you guys won't just be consuming a whole bunch of words. Plus, pictures make everything better ~

I bought these bad boys. c: I have an obsession with ying yang symbols.

♡ Utada United 2006 Concert + Camera ♡

I've recently found several Utada Hikaru videos from her concert Utada United 2006. I don't have all of them, but several. If anyone even sees this and really want the links, please contact me. c': Since I've found them, literally I've became a little happy.

I also currently own a Polaroid camera, but one of my closer friends may let me have an old Sony camera that she doesn't use anymore. If I do get a hold of that, I hope the quality is rather grand because I really want to start blogging about my life. I also hope that I will end up with having multiple followers eager to read what I have to say and post. If not, that's okay ~.
