jeez....


I'm sorry...


I didn't blog for so long. 


Some weeks ago, I started working again and all at the same time I went through some extreme stresses in my personal life.


So I just was not in the mood to talk about my life at all.


Plus, I really have been feeling in a slump with my style. And there is no time for PRYSMIQUE to meet lately.


So I didn't wear anything interesting to show.



Like, this is basically what my outfits look like every day wwww





But finally I was able to buy some JK items (possible P meet theme??) and some lashes so hopefully I can make a cute look soon...


I miss feeling stylish so I really want to up my genki and perform at high style again. But I think it's going to be a boom イメチェン. I still love manba summer forever but already Bunny changed to winter wardrobe and I think I just need to change up the look so I don't feel stale.







The views on the bus ride to my job are really pretty, so I enjoy the ride even though it's very long. 


It's nice to have a time to just slow down and relax during a stressful day.


Sometimes I think that we live in one of the most beautiful places in this country. I always said that if I have to live in the US I'm glad it's here. I can see beautiful nature every day while I take public transit, in general I can feel safe, and see so many kinds of people around me. Most of the people I meet at my job are not American or don't even speak English, how cool is that!?


Sometimes I even get to practice speaking some Japanese. Recently I meet a lot more Japanese travelers or transplants here than I ever have before, actually. It really makes me want to study better so that I can communicate more.










My Pinguicula made a flower!!





Soooo cute. I'm so proud.

Can you believe MiL wanted to just throw this plant away?






My boys are looking キラキラ wwww




Actually I've been really in a slump with EnSta as well. J got super super into it but I just can't seem to force myself to open the game. For months now! I really want to get back into it so that we can play together, but we will see...


Does anyone else relate to feeling like video games are a chore when you have to do logins, dailies, and events? I hateeee that stuff. I feel pressured to do it when J starts to play too, because he is competitive and he enjoys those parts of games, but I just want to play a chill rhythm game lol.





I wanna shout out to hiyoko24.blogspot.com, I've been reading this blog a lot lately and it's super cute! Actually reading it made me feel inspired to write again because it's so refreshing and casual. Go check it out.



Well I'm really going to try to post more again. I'm sorry for disappearing for so long. Maybe someone can text me and tell me about their current boom and help me feel more inspo and genki again? 


Until next post...じゃね

Happy Summer

 




I wish summer was the only season



I found it!

 

Yesterday we went to Federal Way to TESO Life for the first time in a long time,


And unexpectedly they had the SUPER KAWAII PALETTE in stock there!!



I wanted this palette no matter what since December, but I waited for months and it never showed up in shops, so I just assumed it was not getting sent to the US. 



But I guess it just took a very long time.




This palette is for CANMAKE 40th anniversary. it features the most popular colors from each of the last 4 decades, and displays the biggest trends for girls at those times. 


And of course it features ギャル

I saw ちょぱ demonstrate it as PR back in December and then I wanted to get it no matter what... 


I haven't used it yet but I tested a couple of the colors I was most excited about, and I can say it's very soft and silky.









Already now there's another cosmetic release I've gotta get no matter what. I think it's a really good year for cosmetics. It's been years since there's even been anything I wanted to buy let alone a steady stream of releases I'm excited about.







Is anyone else planning to order Yurage?
