Link Exchange~

Hello everybody~ :) How are y'all? 

I've been busy since this week is my finals, yet I haven't exactly been studying for it too well. I'll be starting my workout this summer, I actually started a few months ago, but of course I fell out of the habit. But since summer is here I'll have more time, I've decided to seriously consider it. If you guys don't know this channel, you should really check it out: BLOGILATES. 

http://www.blogilates.com/

The one exercise regime that I feel is very motivating and fun, believe it or not! There's a monthly calendar that you can follow and best of all, no need to go to the gym. 

Anyway, if you guys haven't noticed.. some of my tabs changed! I'm doing something that's been going around blogger, it's called a Link Exchange! It's a good way to get exposure I believe, and get to know others. Basically, we can exchange icons, and place them on each others blogs. ^^ If you're interested, contact me at: arizonaa.vu@gmail.com

and let me know~ I'd be more than happy to respond. <3

And don't forget to visit my link exchange page, in which you can get my icon, as well as yours placed there~ <3

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me. Hehe

I hope everyone else luck if they have any finals! Love love!

High Heels, Short Post

Wow! I recently found my old blogs, and I realize just how stupid I was. PURE stupid, whiny, and really mean actually. I'm really glad I've learned to be a better person, or at least in my opinion I've grown. It's weird how when I was reading it, I couldn't remember half the things that happened. And was like: "Was that really me? Was that really my opinion on situations?" It all seemed so childish - my outlook on things at that time that is.

Anyway, time to get to business~ 

SMILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Well, I haven't done a selfie in a while, so this is my excuse to. HEHE. This is actually a week or so old, since I haven't been able to blog very much. I should be studying soon.. and I will. After I write this blog post. Hehe. 

So I've gotten my first official pair of tall heels. :> All studded and cute.

Sorry for the dog hair on it, xD LOL

Anyway, it's really exciting because it gives me the height that I wish I was born with. The only thing is, since I'm not use to heels, I don't walk in them very well. But they're fun. And if I'm going to get good at heels I guess it doesn't hurt to start practicing now! :) I think it gives me a good 4 inches and it really makes my legs look 'looonger' <3

:') You know that empowering feeling you get from heels because you're so tall? MMF. I like that. 

Anyway, I hope y'all have a good week! I apologize my posts are so short, and boring. Time is not my friend, as I'm now off to finish off assignments. 

LOVE CHU, if you guys have any suggestions for the next post or something, leave me a comment or a message~ :')

And good luck to anybody who also has upcoming finals! I cheer you oon~ :D

Change, change!

Once again, my templates changed, this time I went for a normal look. Because I'm searching for stuff to do for my blog, I'm trying to do some renovations I guess you could say? Anyway, I'm figuring out what I want and working, so patience ONEGAAI. :') Thanks, I'll be blogging about real stuff soon. XD Hopefully. Or not. I have finals coming up. So thank you and hold on!

Different Makeup

Hey everybody! It's been a bit! But I'm here! I actually just finished some of my important homework, so now I really want to blog and just release~ LOL

Anyway, today is about the different make up I've been experimenting with. 

From natural-to ulzzang/dramatic. I'm not really any good with makeup, and honestly I even despised it in much of junior high. But since the end of end of Jr. High I took a turn and somehow acquired small things such as lash curlers, basic shadows and lip colours, as well as some mascaras. Soon I ended up having more than I ever thought I would, and now I'm purchasing more.. slowly. It's amazing how things change hey?

Well, I don't really wear much to school anyway. So.. I guess that hasn't changed.

Anyway, here's youuuu go:

1. No Makeup

-Well, no makeup IS no makeup. AHA. I have bags, and well you can't see it in the photo but acne scars as well as acne. And sometimes my skin is decent, other times its a bumpy rock of volcanoes. LOLOL

2. More 'dramatic'

-I wouldn't consider this dramatic but I guess it's less... natural and 'sweet'. xD With more eyeliner, and stuff. xD

3. Subtle-natural Make

-The more natural make. With only tinted moisturizer and concealer, as well as lip colour and powder. xD

4. Ulzzang Style Make

-Well this is very ulzzang inspired, XD More sweet I guess with usual foundation, blush, down-lined liner extending out, and my attempt at more 'straight' brows. And more subtly contouring. 

I know I'm not that great, but I'm continuing to practice. 

Anyway, which one do you like best? HAHA

Spring Cleaning + Upcoming Posts

Hello! (:
I hope you guys have been enjoying your week!
Anyway, it seems that during this Spring break, I had a random drive to clean my room. 

If you've noticed sometimes, the background to some of my photos aren't pretty. That's because my room is messy and looks like a dinosaur walked in and stomped away everything and yeah. It's just a mess. LOL

Here's what it looked like before:

Not pretty hey? I was honestly skeptical to show you all but yep. LOL

And here's after: 

Well that's that! I added some wall decorations too. My room is small. :/

This wall is particularly important to me, it's the wall of my 'dreams' in a way. The quote "If you can dream it, you can achieve it" really coincided with how I begun with cheer. So hanging my bows there is my major motivation. Really. And a reminder to myself that if that was possible, than everything else is a option too.

And here's my Bed. My stuffed animals are really important to me, even though I'm probably of age to get rid of them. but I like having them around. It's comfortable and sort of nice just to have them to lean on. Almost as if it's a extra cushion. And almost as a protective pillow to come home to for those rough days...

And this is pretty much just where my makeup is stored. LOL
Small drawer because I don't have much!

And my ukulele, which I don't play much of anymore, but I'm definitely looking forward to relearning it all over again.

so yes!
So how about you get into the spring cleaning? It's a good way to welcome the season with a fresh space. It sort of is like a way to renew the area, and give yourself the sense of peace that you might deserve. After all, a cluttered room might just make yourself feel more cluttered. So the spring cleansing is a good way to just welcome the sunlight~

Now here's the good stuff;

UPCOMING POSTS~

Well, this is in large font because it's the important goods.
Upcoming poooosts~!
Yes, if some of you follow my INSTAGRAM, you may see or know that I uploaded a picture of two floral skirt and dress. And I figured I have quite a bit of floral, so I wanted to create a FLORAL themed Spring lookbook; in the blog form. I'm not sure if I could do a video since I don't think I have a tripod or such. XD So I don't know how I'd film myself. Plus, I have no experience much in editing videos.. so believe me that it'll take a LONG time. And I'm not sure if everyone has time.. SO YES. Here's a lil' sneak peak:

So if you're looking forward or want more information on these floral clothing articles, feel free to comment below and let me know. ;) And you'll be the first to know if you follow my TUMBLR, TWITTER, and INSTAGRAM. And follow this blog for the latest updates! <3

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the Easter weekend I guess.

MEOWing selfies!

MEOOOOOW! HELLO! 

I felt kind of cat-like yesterday. xD Well, would you consider it a cat? LOL
I don't know.

Anyway, I was playing around with makeup of course!
It's kind of weird how I absolutely wear barely any makeup to school, yet I play with it so much at home. :3

AHH.

So this is just a short post for selfies. xD 

The-Distressed-Kitty look? XD LOLOL

Anyway, it was fun to play around. I wish i had bigger lids/eyes so i could do more dramatic things without looking like a racooooon. 

AND FINALLY. A silly one for you guys :)

TEE HEE> I really like the floral shirt I'm wearing! <3 It'll be in my next few posts when I show you the clothing article pick up's I've got!

I'll leave it with this! Bye bye everyone! Please follow this blog <3

HG Products & New Phone!

Hey everybody! 

I've realized I haven't really taken a picture of Toby, and I thought it'd be a good time!

He's so cute this morning that I couldn't resist it. 

Anyway, as promised I really did take a pictures of all the HG cosmetics. Well, not all. Just the recent ones that I've been using constantly and some 'test' products.

I would have taken a selfie, but I'm honestly still in my pajamas as I type this. And my hair is still in a bun. It's my lazy day.. SHH!

LOL

Alright!

Lets get started!

First, with the cosmetic products I've been lovin' and it's my HG product. 

CONCEALER.

Being a girl with a raging teenage hormone, a little bit of coverage for those down days couldn't hurt right?

This is the Maybelline Cover Stick in Medium Beige. It's a glide-on type of concealer, and it blends really easy. I'd definitely repurchase this. It just works for me and it does a light-medium coverage for my dark circles and some of acne.

 In addition to this concealer, I also purchased a green concealer by Physicans Formula. For some of those who may not know, this is suppose to CANCEL out the redness. I love it and it's easy to glide as well. And it blends easily and works well with the Maybelline. I place this before I put it on my concealer and it really does reduce the look of redness. For me anyway.  

I purchased both for around 6-7 dollars at my local Walmart, so it's definitely VERY afforadable. :)

And for the face, I have some tinted moisturizers because I was seeking a more light method for days where I want barely anything on. And this is actually my 'test' product: The Cover Girl BB Cream Tinted Moisturizer. And definitely this CG one is not a BB cream. It's more of a tinted moisturizer  I got this in the shade 710 Light-Medium. It is sheer, and evens out my skin tone just slightly. 

 And here is another tinted moisturizer, this time by Physicans Formula. 

I love this dearly, I think it's my HG tinted moisturizer but it's a little more on a pricey side, I think I paid 16-17 for this. I wish it would come with more product since I do use it quite often. It also is natural. The smell is very lavender like but instantly fades after a couple of minutes. It's light, and does offer a bit of coverage. And evens the skin tone nicely. I would definitely repurchase! And I haven't broken out from this. 

Here is the HG lip products! I forgot to include EOS but y'all should probably check it out! <3

But here is the Cover Girl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in the shade Coral Twist I believe. I love this and it's such a easy and light application. Lovely colour and reasonable price; only paid 8-10 for this. And i would definitely repurchase! It's retractable and lovable. ;D 

Here is another retractable lip, this time by Annabelle Twistup in the shade Bubble. It's a gorgeous colour and surprisingly similar to the Covergirl except less intense and more of a coral colour.

The fatter line is the Annabelle one, :3 Similar in the photo but in real life there's a slight difference.

Here is the eyeliner! :) This is Wet N Wilds H20 proof liquid eyeliner in the shade 881 Ultra Black. It\s my HG eyeliner because it really does last through my oily lids! Definitely a good replacement for the Hard Candy liquid felt tip eyeliner which NEVER seems to be in stock. 

Oh, and I forgot to mention. Just over these past few months I got a new phone. If y'all knew me back than, my phone was the Samsung Nexus S. But now I replaced it with the Samsung Galaxy S3 since my phone broke. And I love Android. <3

I love the blinker light for notifications! <3

These are all my cases! <3 Baha. It's slowly growing.

And here's the comparison to my old phone and to the new one. :) I love android and and yeah.

I know the new S4 is coming out but nontheless, I'm satisfied. :)

Anyway.. this WRAPS IT UP! 

Hope y'all have a great weekend! xo

I'm Alive!

Wow! Hey everyone, notice the new banner? I know everything else like the tabs on my blog require work but as of now, I've been doing things myself and let me tell you... I'm the worst person when it comes to internet loops and tricks. I have no clue what to do with the text links and such. *sad life*

 

 

Anyway, I've been gone for two months! I've just had school preoccupying me. I hope y'all forgive me, it's been quite the busy work-your-butt-off couple of months. Lots of procrastinating but it's literally just struck me how badly I need to start succeeding!

 

But in these months, I've sort of picked up some of my HG (Holy-grail) drug store cosmetic products.

I'm going to photograph them all tonight; I haven't been using my camera much so I'll update you on all of it in the next post. For now, I'll try and upload what I can.

I wanted to write this just to let y'all know this blog ain't dead! <3

I love you guys. LOL

I'll blog a.s.a.p. tomorrow morning!

Shoes, lace, and crosses

Hello everyone! How are ya? Sorry I haven't been posting, I've been having midterms/finals for highschool, so I've been away as best as I can from the computer since I can get distracted so easily.

But, before I go off to studying again, I wanted to share with you all some recent items I picked up. And the title explains it all.

I've been eyeing boots - combat like, inspired by seeing a advertisement by Galstar, and I've been wishing upon my very soul to get one. And finally found my perfect pair. These are less combat like, but they took my heart away. I fell in love with these weeks ago, but last time I was short of cash so I couldn't get them. But you all know that studs were the craze this season right? Well, this boot has it all. <3

 

Sorry y'all, I was too lazy to at least blur out the background to make it look decent

 

Alright, I personally am in love. Originally these were fourty dollars, but the store was havign a sale so I only paid thirty instead, to be specific, I even used my store discount card that I signed up for (another 10% off) so I ended up only paying 27-28 bucks. And they give me height, isn't that a plus? :)

 

Along with that, I got some cross leggings that I've been dying to buy. SO I finally picked it up just yesterday at the mall, feeling very satisfied. :)

 

I bought these cross leggings at Stitches for only 10 bucks, and they have that spandex-silk like feeling which makes it very comfortable to wear.

 

And here we have, a FIVE DOLLAR floral skirt. (:

Yup, I only paid five bucks. I bought this at Ardenes, since they were havng a 70% off sale and in that section I came upon those skirt. It's beautiful, and worth it. So if y'all go to Ardenes soon, you're bound to find some good stuff since theres a sale going on.

 

Ah, and I got lace tights which I've also been eyeing - bought at Ardenes of course. They were 3 for 10 but since I was with a friend, we decided to split. :)

Anyway, I'm really satisfie with all I've bought, and I've got a HAUL post coming up! Look out for that. Here's a bunch of pictures with the outfits put together:

 

 

 

Anyway, Hope y'all enjoy your weekend. I've got tests tests and tests! D:

 





Happy New Year; A Bit of Appreciation & Advice

【o´∀｀】ﾉ┣┫Ё┗└О☆!

 

How is everybody today?

Well, I can say that we officially welcome 2013 in our lives, so happy new year everybody! I was meaning to write yesterday as soon as the clock hit, but I had no time. Hope you all forgive me.

 

Anyway, 2013 means it's another year to start blogging. Over the course of a year or two, I've been able to gain three wonderful followers.. which I'm very grateful for -- so if you're following me and reading this, I'd really wish to thank you. You've in a way made my dreams come true in knowing that even if it's just a few, that somebody is still reading the things I write. It makes every late night, every picture taken, and every words said worth it all the more.

 

This year, I have a resolution of gaining more followers. I'm not sure how, but I really desire to make it come true. I want to spread to the world: read my blog~!!!

 

&

What are your New Year's resolution? Leave a comment below, I'd love to hear about it!

ヾ(　＾ω＾)ノ

___________________________

Some selfies from earlier today:

 

 

This is a short post; but I'd love to say thank you once more. 2012 has given me a lot of memories, and even though there were the bad -- I won't say I regret anything, because, our lives are built on these memories right? And we can do nothing but move forward while learning from the past, and looking for the future.

 

Each second, is another second of precious moments. But one of my biggest wishes is not only to spread to the world my name, but to share these moments with someone I love. Sappy hey? But I'm being honest here.. I'd love to be with someone one day.. Sigh.

Unfortunately that hasn't happened yet.

 

Hmm,

Anyway, once again, thank you and I hope you strive to achieve your goals even more this year - know that nothing is worth giving up unless you lead yourself to believe so. A human mind can do so much, so believe in it, dream it, and most importantly: DO IT.

 

Thanks for reading,

xoxo

 

Arizona.
