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....
- Weight Loss. Seriously. How many times am I going to repeat myself???
- 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.
- Reviews!!! <3 I'm currently working on the video for the lenses I'm wearing :) and a new pair is on the way!!!
- 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 >=)
- 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?!
- 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......
