No Witty Title...Just My Handwriting Meme

I got tagged to do this meme by my dear Kay!! I don't have a nice intro like hers or Diana C.'s...but like them, I also enjoy seeing what people's handwriting looks like. I think it's just that much more personal and these days, it's pretty rare considering we pretty much communicate electronically via text, email, fb, gchat, etc. And yes, I am sentimental enough to keep all cards and notes, including notes all the way back from middle school.

About my handwriting...oh boy, where to start? I never had nice penmanship, I wrote chicken scratch as a kid and always thought it was the context and not the presentation of my writing, hahaha, what an idealist! Obviously that changed over the years and I basically adapted my handwriting to that of a friend whose penmanship I thought looked nice. So now I have sloppy Asian girl handwriting, kekekeke.

Why Am I So Vain...

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend in the States and is now enjoying the shorter week because of it! I went shopping with one of my high school best friends, she was visiting and I hadn't seen her in almost 8 years! We went to the *new* Forever21 that used to be a Mervyn's at the mall. It's big! I was hoping to find some dresses but all the Smalls were a bit loose on me. =(

So...I went to a different mall and still didn't find anything! I came across this short sleeve jacket and camera whored in the fitting room...such a vain girl!! But that's how I do, ahahaha.

Mail Love from Hawaii and NY!! Plus a Friendship Tag

Ahhhh I'm so spoiled!!

This heavy box arrived from Hawaii! Omg...lol I'd asked WuzzyAngel about the LCD screen protector she'd gotten for her camera and bless her sweet heart, she said she had an extra one she could send me! But then...look at all this!

Hawaii love from an Angel!!

My Favorite Current Look Video and Another Tag!

I've been wanting to do a video of this look for a few weeks now but had all those other videos to post first. Then guess what? My wifey M did a similar video last week! And she also used my current go to eye shadow shade MAC Honey Lust!

Well of course mine is a bit different than hers since I use some different products, not to mention I'm more tanned than she is! So while she used a light pink blush and pink beige lipstick, I choose peachy tones.

I don't wear this exact same look all the time, usually with some variations for cheeks and lips but the EOTD are pretty much usually the same.

Tagged by Whit and a Mask Sheet Video

I was tagged by Whit over a week ago but am just now getting around to posting it!

What is your current obsession?
natural beauty products and handmade products...they're all LOVE but require a bit of research.

What is your weirdest obsession?
I don't have a weird obsession...just standard obsessions...although my Japaneezy fo sheezy could be considered a weird obsession.

What are you wearing today?
a yellow tank top, butterfly & flower printed gray hoodie, a pair of True Religion jeans and of course undies/innerwear

Blog Awards and Friday the 13th Video

It's blog award season!! I've been awarded by Annie with a "Your Blog Rocks" award and Cathy with a "Kreativ Blogger" award. I'd like to thank...just kidding. But seriously, thank you ladies!

An Award For Moi?

Well...more like a tag really...I was awarded/tagged by Czel with the Honest Scrap Award.

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.

“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”

Tagged Again! Plus New Scent-sations

Apparently I'm either slow or liked...or both!

I've been tagged by DustBunny! Thanks sweetie!

What’s your favorite eye shadow color to wear?
Green...but I've moved onto blue. Purple is also a fav smoky look for me.

What’s the one product you wouldn’t leave your house without?
A small 2 oz. bottle of Hempz moisturizer...my hands get dry after washing them and in general I just like to keep my skin moisturized at all times.

What’s your favorite makeup look – high drama OR natural?
High drama...anyone can do a natural look any day but high drama requires extra care and special attention and is usually done for a unique and memorable moment.

Tag Tuesday and December My Pretty Pink Box!!

I went to bed early last night (before 2 a.m. is early for me) and woke up before 7 a.m. so I could order the December My Pretty Pink Box!! Last month's box sold out in two hours while I was dead asleep, so I had to make sure I got mine this time. Also, there won't be a January box so if you want one get it now!!!

Since I'm up early, I started replying back to comments and found that kawaiikao/Amanda tagged me...so here's that.

A.)Answer the following questions using only one word.
B.)Pass this on to 7 people...

TAG Tuesday

the rules:
Each player answers the question themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them comments letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

10 Years Ago:
1. I was a church girl
2. I was an honors program student
