Patience and Progress...

Long time no read!!!

There has been waaaay too much going on to fully explain, some great, some horrible, some that made me think "WTF?" But overall I've leveled out as good ^_^

I feel like a rush of energy has swept over me, and my craving for makeup had suddenly returned, so I went straight to work on my gyaru make. The end result was nothing short of unrecognizable:


When I started taking a few pictures with the webcam and looked at them, I'm pretty sure I had the biggest, dorkiest, overdone smile on my face EVER. I had finally accomplished something that was 'me', but wasn't 'me', I had changed my appearance to something so different, I couldn't believe it was my face I was looking at!! I'm pretty sure the addition of hair, and my amazing nails from Kawaii Claws on Etsy, aided in this transformation, but the rest was all the work I had put in listening to critiques, scouring blogs, and watching tutorials. Don't get me wrong, I'm not tooting my own horn, God  knows I'm kinda confused that it took almost a year just to get the look I wanted down pat, I'm just, crazy excited that I have a look all my own. But this is only the beginning... I'm not gyaru yet, but I've hit a milestone. 

I'm also crazy happy from all the comments from the Facebook group, I was nervous posting the picture because I felt like I had put so much effort into this, but all the comments were great!! I felt like I had partly established myself as more than just a member...

So what's next on the schedule? Hmmmm....

  1. Weight Loss. Seriously. How many times am I going to repeat myself???
  2. Hair. Since I don't want to focus on clothes just yet, I figure it's high time to think on hair. This may be a harder challenge since my actual hair is kinky and I have no intention on straightening it yet.
  3. Reviews!!! <3 I'm currently working on the video for the lenses I'm wearing :) and a new pair is on the way!!!
  4. Life. I've started dating someone new ^_^ I'm considering quitting my current job because no one seems to know (or care) what I do unless I do something wrong... and I've done something veeeeeeery wrong recently sooooo..... yeah ._____. the catch 22 is that because of that fact, I CAN'T just up and leave because NO ONE KNOWS WHAT I DO!!! I have to train 1 or 2 people  before I can actually leave, plus, I've switched my classes to a more IT preference >=)
  5. Moving. I need to find an apartment soon lol, living with my overly protective grandmother is blowing my life, every darn complex in the area is over 1000k/month. WHO has that kind of money?!
  6. Expanding. I very much want to meet other gals in the DMV area, they're around I know, and it doesn't help that task #5 is what's preventing of meeting up with them more. I also kinda want a tumblr now....
Picture Collage Spam <3 much better than posting the individuals!! A tiny look back at my misses and hits.... I'm so bored lol


Goodnight Loves <3 I'm doing this look again for church tomorrow to see everyone's reaction... muahahaha......

  2. Wow! You look amazing!.

    Just a tiny tip?
    When uploading your photographs could you make them a little bigger? So we could see in detail. You look great!

    I am more than ever feeling inspired with makeup these days, so hopefully I find my "look" :) Good luck on your Journey chickA. I will be watching ^_^/

    1. Thank you lovie!! <3 Glad to hear from you!!

      I went ahead and made the pictures bigger, I figured it would be pointless since they take up the full screen when you click on them, but this saves the trouble!! XD

      Same to you on your journey, I'll be reading over here in the states! :D
