Day 4: Your collection

Oh boy...my collection...
Well, I have a collection of collections actually lol. I collect so many things it's not even funny :p. Here goes :D.

#1

- Most of my kawaii collection
- Most of my Domo collection
- Beginning of my slowly growing Manga collection

#2

NAIL POLISH!!!!

 Ok, the reason I have so much nail polish is because [1] I LOVE painting my nails, and [2] I don't like to pay over $1.99 for any of my polish...ok I did pay $3.99 for one of my nail hardeners but that's about it lol.

#3

Incense!

 The yummy smells are so soothing, though I do need an open space to burn them or they'll mess with my asthma, and my nose lol. I endure most times though.

#4

Lipsticks

 I have inherited my mom's lipstick color usage when she was my age. Though I havent used them all just yet, I love all the colors. I mainly use the bright red ones though. The black one I had bought first was "Moody Black" and it changed colors to a maroon-ish color, which upset me lol so I had to get another black that was actually black.

#5

Tea

Can never have too much tea o.o. I get the most of my teas from the Farmer's Market. I had first bought the Yogi teas from Whole Foods, but it cost $1 less at the Farmer's Market. The Country Peach Tea came from Wal-Mart though.

There are a few other collections that aren't shown because I was too lazy to get them together lol. Not shown: 00G gauges, rocks [I pick one up everywhere I go pretty much], leggings/stockings, and dunny/vinyl figure.

'Til next time

☆Starfish Out☆

Weekend Mail

As you know, I'd been doing a little labor day sale shopping. The rest of my shoppings came in today, plus a swap package :3.

Items from the Forever21 BOGO free Labor Day sale:

I've already tried everything on, and have already worn the tan crop top out. It may have been a silly idea to get the shirts in size M's since they seem a bit on the bigger side, but I'd rather be safe than unable to breath lol. I'm in love with the aviators also. I highly enjoy the shade tint. I think I really like aviators since this is the second pair I've bought without noticing the similarity lol.

Style.ly Sweater order 

 Washed and tried on. It may be on a bit of the itchy side when I actually wear it, but I like it regardless. I'll have to be careful not to spill when I eat for sure though haha. This is sweater #19 in my collection I do believe.

"Fill-A-Bag" Swap received from Paperfun on Flickr

 I sure do love me some domo, and she knew just what items to pick for me. Sadly I don't see myself using every single item so a few will be regifted/resold but I like everything she chose for me regardless.

My favorite item would have to be this rilakkuma plush coin purse/card holder keychain with retractable string.

Now I'm just waiting for my PLNDR winnings package, Leggings Giveaway Prizes, and various other packages to arrive in my mailbox.

'Til next time

Moving on!

I had ordered some Hello Kitty Cabochons for my swap with paperfun, and they came in yesterday. I have to say that they are quite adorable. I bought them off of ebay. Just put cabochon in the search. They have a wide variety.

Early yesterday, the family went out to eat at my favorite Indian Restaurant up the street.

My delicious plate consisted of: Rice, Chicken Tikka Masala [on rice], Spicy Chicken 65, and Malai chicken. omnomnom

Now onto the serious shopping portion. My favorite stores include anywhere I can get a whole wardrobe for $50-$60 lol [i.e. goodwill/thrift stores, ross, rainbow, wally world etc etc.]  I went to Ross and Rainbow the other day. Here's my loot:

This Crocheted shawl is actually from eBay. I bought it
for $5.50 with free shipping

Rainbow: Dark Navy Blue Star and Lace tight Dress
Acquiring more clothing with Stars lol Lil Miss Starfish
$7

Rainbow: White and Denim Blue stripped strapless dress with belt
I also bought an earthy floral one in the same style with a diff. belt,
but that was a different trip lol
$7

Rainbow: White, Black, Baby Turquoise tanks
$3 each

Rainbow: Super comfy, Black&White floral print  lounge pants
They had an animal print pair also that I may go back and get.
These are extremely comfy!
$10

Ross: Navy Blue Floral print dress
$7.99

Ross: See-thru checkered floral tank with mesh back
$8.99

the mesh back

Along with shopping, I've also been trying to get some refashioning done, so I can have some "unique" clothing items for the coming school year.

I bought this button-down on one of my Goodwill trips back at school. 

It's a size XL [I think in Women's]. I started off with taking one of my tank tops and "measuring" off where I wanted to start cutting. I started with the sleeves, and sewed a hem on one of the holes. I'm going to do the same to the other side and take in the sides so that it isn't so wide.

In the end, I should have a lovely sleeveless button-down for the hot summer.

When I got back home, I ventured to one of the Goodwill's in my area that I haven't been to yet and found this lovely blouse:

Sadly it had a hole in it, but I didn't care. It was too cute and such a lovely color that I decided I could just fix it. So this is the second "refashion" I'm working on.

I've decided to put a pocket over it :D

This is only the beginning of my shopping ventures. I haven't done back-to-school shopping yet >:3

Swap Update!

I've been slowly working on a couple swaps. One is to Krystal R. who hit me up on tumblr [cannot remember her tumblr D:] for a $50 Hello Kitty Swap, but...I explained this in this post [at the bottom]. Here is an update on her package:

Including [L-R]:
- Hello Kitty Sticker Box

- Hello Kitty Snowball themed plush
- Hello Kitty themed plastic phone case for her phone
- Hello Kitty pencil pouch
- Hello Kitty mechanical pencil
- Hello kitty sticker sheet

Is it annoying to see hello kitty that many times?

I would be about done if only the rest of the items I ordered online would come in. The only thing that I've received so far was the phone case.

  

I had asked her if she had an iPhone since they have so many hello kitty themed cases but she didn't and I was able to find one for her phone!

The other swap I've been working on is the Fill-A-Bag swap with paperfun on flickr. The bag hasn't come in yet still, but the swap isn't due til august so it's ok. 

Here's what it is so far:

Included [L-R]:
- Hello Kitty mini notebook

[Gently Used, she asked for gently used memo pads also]

I want to do a good bit more swaps before school starts in August, but we'll see.

I hadn't noticed the amount of Bento boxes and accessories I had, until I found my "collection" in a cabinet downstairs in the kitchen. I know I had the Panda one in my room with me since it's the most recent one I had gotten, and I knew of the Hello Kitty "house" one I had since I used that one during high school but totally forgot about the others.

Hong Kong Asian Market!

*Dances* My parents seem to have fallen in love with our local asian market! That means more visits for me >:D. Purchasing produce from there costs substantially less than at our grocery store. Even less than the farmer's market. Here are my spoils :3

*drools*

 

 

 

Ok so let's see. I picked up The Assorted Jelly sticks first because my Significant Other said that he loves them...So I picked up the biggest jar >_>. lol. If I care about people and learn about something that they like...then I HAVE to give it to them and spoil them lol. Along with the jelly sticks, I got him a bowl and matching spoon since he was taking the chopsticks and bowl from the pho place we had a date at lol. I also bought bendy straws for us whenever we go get something to drink because he likes bendy straws :3. 
The two other non-food items are two different ice molds. One that makes cubes that fit in water bottles, and one with cute shapes [including stars ^_^!].
Onto the food items that are for me :3. I got two things of bin bin, one for me and one for my mommy. A things of assorted mochi with peach, mango, and pineapple flavors. A bag of Strawberry flavored Hi-chew [omnomnom]. A bag of Strawberry filled Hello Kitty Marshmallows for my $50 Hello Kitty swap with menstrual-poetry. Two bags of Shrimp Snacks, Bar B Que and Onion & Garlic flavor. Three of the Look Chocolates because OMG they are so flippin yummy! Lastly, two boxes of Hello Kitty Cookie snacks.
Whoo, alright that's about it for that trip.
Tomorrow the Significant Other and I are going photographing :3. I bought a double pack of disposable cameras from walmart the on Saturday, and three mini photo albums [also from walmart saturday], so we're going to take em and go exploring :3. We're also bringing my digital cameras. I subconsciously want him to learn the buttons on the Nikon, and it would be easier for him to learn on my D60 than my D3100 ^_^. I'm quite excited if everything goes along well.
