Mini breakdown?

Hello!

Today I had a mini breakdown I guess? I was feeling really emotional and sensitive the whole day, and when I got home I finally realized that I was just too tired. I actually slept at 3am last night, and I am usually super tired by Fridays because I've been lacking sleep since Monday. Even at school today, I sorta started tearing in a matter of seconds thinking about my grandpa. o_o It was during a quiz too. Gosh dang those tear ducts.. lol I don't know if I said this before but I cry really easily. I apologize to my buddies that I acted a bit crabby to today. Stoopid exhaustion and stress. D:

Anyways, I think I'll just start my no-buy attempt #2 after buying my cosplay makeup stuff. I forgot that I still had to buy a few more supplies, so I jumped the gun trying to start no-buy #1. I did my nails just right now though! Relieved a lot of stress by painting happy thoughts on my nails. ^^

I'll try to post more about nails! I know I should be writing higher-quality posts.. haha.. but it's nice to just write your worries away on a blog. ^-^

'Til next time!
Tonkatsu curry from last week.. yumm

good night

Hello~

I just finished my homework and other college stuff.. 1:32am. Not bad, considering that I slept at 2:30am yesterday. I'm gonna be a zombie tomorrow.. o_o But yayy it's friday!! and it's Jane Addams' birthday! Reminds me of APUSH days from last year..
I'm actually sleeping a lot earlier this year compared to last year. I slept consistently at 2-3am last year, but this year, I finish my work at around 1am, and then just play around for 30 min-ish, and then fall asleep at around 2am.. ehehe actually I should be sleeping earlier, but I just don't. and I regret it tons whenever I doze off during school. Nothing is more embarrassing than hitting your head on the desk while dozing off! >.< Oh yesterday morning I almost fell out of my seat on the bus while dozing off.. I think the person on the other side of me was scared because he thought I was gonna topple over him. hoohoo.. T-T

'Til next time!
here's a picture of cup ramen I ate a few weeks ago.. it was as yummy as it looks appetizing in that picture.. (it wasn't that yummy) I just feel obliged to add some sort of picture to every post *-*

Too much ice cream.. Healthier eating!

Hello~

Sighh this is just a quick post. Err more like how much ice cream I've been eating for the past few weeks..

mmm cookies n cream..

cheerios! not ice cream but still yummy

mm pistachio almond!! so good.. the color is so pretty too *-*

chocolate and mint chocolate chip..

The reason that I'm sorta posting these pics is because I am going to try to eat healthier! :D Which means no ice cream.. D: After I'm rid of this cold, I'm going to follow the following principals.

My Goals for Healthier Eating
-No wheat. Anything with even the slightest amount of wheat in it is a no-no. This includes everything from breads to pastas to cookies to cakes to anything with wheat. No wheat does NOT mean no grains. I can still eat rice, oats, barley, etc. because these are other types of grains that are NOT wheat. 

-Lots of vegetables! I'll be trying to replace all of my wheat with steamed veggies or something.. I actually think steamed broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, etc. are pretty manageable if seasoned well.

-No junk foods for the most part. This is a little easier cause most junk foods have wheat, so I can't eat it anyways. Bye bye potato chips and ice cream and chocolate.. D: I can have it occasionally though. :D

-Only water or tea for drinks. No sodas! No sugary drinks! 

-No eating past dinner!

Hopefully I'll be able to follow these rules and slowly shed some pounds over the next few weeks.. I can predict that this week is going to be pretty busy, so I wanted to post something before all the schoolwork and college apps and SAT studying overflow my schedule. I hope you guys have a great rest of the week! I might post more if I'm procrastinating on something..

'Til next time~

Drugstore Haul! and no-buy attempt #1

Hello~

Phew it's September already! Kicking off the new month with a drugstore haul.. I need to stop shopping. T.T I bought these from my local drugstores a few days ago.. I got some great deals too. :D I just finished some college stuffs, so I'm feeling somewhat productive. ^_^

Yayy makeup and nail polish.. girly stuffs

L-R: Wet n Wild Listening to Blue Reed, Teal Slowly and See
These were BOGO 50% off, and I was surprised because the pop art collection is pretty much sold out in all the other areas! If only they had the eyeshadow trios as well.. But you know me. I always try to find a way to use all my blues.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in LE I See Blue
This mascara is soo pretty! I saw people wear it and the color was really vibrant! Can't wait to try it out! Still thinking on how I'm going to pull it off though.. ^.^ At least the blue will neutralize yellow-y tired looking eyes..

Revlon Colorstay Concealer in 02 Light
Revlon products were 40% off last week, and I also had a $2 off coupon, so this came down from $9.99 to $3.99ish! :D I've been looking for a liquid concealer to conceal dark spots and acne scars, etc. I heard this has some salicylic acid though, so I won't use it under my eyes. :P I kinda guessed on the shade.. meh hopefully it'll match somewhat.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded
Soo pretty! This would be a great color for an all around base coat for your eyes.. I read a lot of good reviews about color tattoos. It's like a creamy eyeshadow hybrid.. The packaging was really pretty too~ Maybelline cosmetics were BOGO 1/2 off, so I got this and the mascara. Not the most wonderful savings, but hey better than nothing!

Trying to get a better color of the shade..

The packaging is solid; the glass makes it really feel sturdy and expensive haha.. ^-^;;

Milani Shadow Eyez in Brown Deluxe, Winter White and Milani Liquid Eye Pencil in Black
Milani products at CVS last week were buy $10 get $5 back in extra bucks. (which is pretty much 50% off!)

The shadow eyez look really pretty.. They're both sorta shimmer-y or metallic-y? I was thinking of using the brown shade as a natural, everyday shade on the crease part of my lids (if i had any T.T) and the white to brighten the inner corners of my eyes. YouTube has taught me well. \o/

I've read great reviews about these.. I hope they live up to their expectations!

Milani Liquid Eye liner in Black
ohhh I was supposed to buy the liquif'eye eyeliner, but I realized that I accidentally got the liquid eye liner pencil instead.. oh well.. T.T Hopefully both of them are equal in quality! I actually bought a no-sharpen pencil liner in black from another brand, but man it was not pigmented at all! You had to tug on your eyelid and go over it multiple times for some sort of line to show! I hope this one is richer in color..

No-buy!
Oh man I've been spending too much lately.. I will officially go on a no-buy starting now! The no-buy will include anything beauty or nail related. I still don't have a matte brown eyeshadow for natural, photo friendly looks, but I'll have to make do with what I have. :P I think my (relatively) small makeup stash will last me well past next summer. They say you should replace mascara every few months.. I only have one though. and it's been opened. o.o Let's see what happens ohoho. Oh my no-buy will also include any unnecessary foods like snacks and junk foods and stuff. That means no more ice cream. T^T

Edit: I'm actually going to start this no-buy after I buy some things for cosplay.. I forgot that I still have to buy a liquid felt tip eyeliner and some false lashes/eyelash glue..

I'll have a nail post soon.. I've been kinda busy and too tired to paint my nails lately. -.- #brutalhonesty

'Til next time!
