One day, Diana had messaged me out of the blue and asked for my address. ^^ Confused, I gave it to her and within a week, I had received my package from my lovely Diana. :3
But, let me preface this post with something that had been on my mind for a while ever since I got this package.
It's mostly my fault though, because I have this problem of being a combination of shy and paranoid. It's not a good combination. Sometimes, I'm afraid to open up and, at the same time, I'm very scared that I'll get hurt again. I'll admit - I did not have a very good life growing up. My suspicions about certain people were confirmed in ways that has haunted me for years and because of that, it's very hard for me to get close to people.
However, the people I am close to - I cherish them and I'm extremely loyal to them. I will fight for them. I will do anything to make sure that they are happy. This is the sort of person I am and I will always be.
So when Diana not only send me this package, but wrote the letter she wrote that came with the package, my heart ached a little more. It's not because she said anything bad or mean. Quite the opposite, actually.
I apologize for this huge essay but it's something that has been bothering me for a while. Anyway, underneath the cut are the pictures. ^^

Now, I'm going to talk about this site called modeS4U! If you remember, I made a post when I actually bought the charm on January 18, 2014. ^^ I got the shipping notice, finally, on January 20, 2014.
It took a really long while because it's being imported from Hong Kong, but I finally got my charm on January 29, 2014 along with two other very important packages - one of which I've already posted. ^^
Well, all things considering, I would definitely say the shipping is really good since it got here in only 9 days. NINE DAYS! Jeez. That's amazing. @_@ It felt longer, honestly, but that's what happens when you wait for packages, right? Time always seems to be a lot longer when you're waiting for something! ^^
Here's the package~! It's pretty small but, surprisingly, it was pretty secure! It had some ties on its back and, even though I was worried it would become unraveled on its journey, it was really was tied on tightly. No worries on that~!
After I pulled it out from the package, this is what I see:
A cute kitty bag! I think I'll save it for something else when I need to send or store something. :D But what's inside?
Well first, here's my free gift! I've read other blogs that they get sticker tape or something but I actually ended up getting a piece of green fabric - along with their business card!
Unfortunately, it's a green that it's not very pleasant on the eyes but, hm. Maybe I'll find something to use for it. :o
Anyway, on to my main package! :3
You can see the detail on on her. ^^ I have to be really careful though because the sheer that covers half of the head and not only that, the strings on the cellphone part might tear (but that's not modeS4U's fault - it's just how it's made). Not only that, you can see the star with the R in the middle.
Let's look at that, shall we?
Well, I really hope so. For the price the I paid for this charm, it came to about roughly $9.07, including shipping. This isn't bad at all and there are options to get it earlier but, no, this came in about roughly 9 nine days.
They do have other things they sell other than charms of course. They sell fabrics, DIY kits, stuff for crafts (which is something I really need to get to), bags, wallets, stationary and much more! ^^
Anyway, here's some extra pictures I took!
"I'm not dainty!"

| Location | Online, but ships from Hong Kong. |
| Service | Excellent. Communication is always open and they seem to be continously active on their social accounts! |
| Products | With a variety of cute things, cute crafts, bags, and other things, there always something new in their selections! |
| Prices | The prices are pretty decent but it helps when they're on sale. |
| Overall | 9/10 - it's really a price gripe but the service is great! The shipping is incredibly fast, especially from Hong Kong, but the prices a little high for me at times. |

Yes, this is belated because, as usual, I had to work through the holiday... And then as soon I was done, Billy took me over to a friend's house and eat and burn the paper, all before midnight!
But I have some good tidings to bring. ^^ First thing is first - BILLY HAS A JOB! Yay! It's a really good job so the pressure is off of me. Of course, I can't just buy everything I want (not yet anyway) but this will give me some time to save up some money for Anime Expo! ^^ Yay~! Finally~!
Second thing on my mind is that - my weight loss seems to be imminent because, for literally 4 to 5 days, Billy and I have portioned our meals and we had already lost a few pounds! It's amazing how much we can do... Soon we're slowly starting to start exercising more but it's a little hard since we're doing it at home. ^^ I have a terrible habit of being a little more lazy when I work out at home... But I believe in myself! I know I can do it!
And finally thirdly, there's two more posts I'm going to make! I have received packages from Diana and Crees! How generous of them! <3 So I just want to apologize in advance for all the posts I'm about to make. @_@
Because I want to get from smallest to largest (I took a lot of pictures for these hauls, I was too excited!), I'm going to start on Crees's package first! :3

So, once again, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. T___T I've been really busy with work! I've been working everyday since Friday and putting in extra hours so I haven't had time to update or really do anything that warranted an update. ;;
But, like the title says, I've been a naughty girl! Ever since I was little, my family has a rule for me: Don't get anything for the month of August because my birthday is coming up! And eve after I left my mother's house, I've kept up this rule in case my loved ones wanted to get me something. ^^ I wanted to give them enough time to do it so I can surprised with what they've given me.
And so, I broke that rule.
Today, at work, we were checking in shipments for the new Hello Kitty line (that you can probably find at Sanrio) until I saw one of the plushies that came with it. Instantly, I fell in love with her because she's just so cute. ;~; I couldn't resist for too long, especially since there were only 6 of them available.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I caved and bought her!
Billy wasn't too happy with it but let it slide because he says he wants to save some money for my birthday... I'm sorry, Billy. ;~: But he may not think she's that cute, but I do! I'm really happy I got her when I did! Maybe the line will be popular! Maybe it won't... but there was just no way I was going to let her slip out of my hands!
Anyway, my friend, Mirza, showed me this online app before I left for work today~! :D Look at the Senshi I made based out of me:
Cute, right? Purple's actually my favorite color so that's why I chose them the way it is. :D Let me see your Senshis! Go here and link me to your blog posts with your Senshis. ^^ I want to see what they look like!

Ugh, I am so sorry! I have been really busy with work and, as usual, offline stuff! I still actually have to do a Yelp post and a cooking post (as I actually made my first meal by myself, haha - it's quite an accomplishment for myself).
First of all, I have to go to a baby shower tomorrow so I'm thinking about posting pictures from that as it's such an exciting time. :3 But yeah. Right now, I'm tired and I just want to announce that: I've won a giveaway! I actually won this one, LOL! How funny is that?
So once they send it and it arrives, I'm going to do a review of the phone cover. ^^ Well, I'll try since I don't have a camera anymore... But how lucky was that?? comments powered by Disqus

So I got some wonderful, exciting, and just really good news! I got a job! And not only that, I got one at Sanrio! I used to work here before but due to personal issues, I had to quit my job and go away. It took a couple of years but I managed to get my old job back (now with a new owner).
I actually just got back from work today so I'm a little tired, hungry, and thirsty. After work, though, I got myself a treat!:
Tostito chips mixed with steak & cheese! Ugh, it's so delicious...
Nah, I'm kidding. :3 I actually got that on the day I got the job, heh. Billy took me to Chipotle but I was just so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of my meal! But that's not the point of the post anyway! I actually got this really cute keycap because it's Loungefly's Street Fighter x Sanrio:
How cute is that? I didn't get anything else because, if you read my anime & video game blog, I'm trying to save up for a PS Vita. Since there's bills and other things to pay as well, I'm going to be pretty limited in spending (or try to be). As tempting as it is to buy other things, I have to promise myself...
But I do have friends and other bloggers I do need to meet and hang out with! Food is pretty important, yeah?
Anyway, that big announcement I mentioned earlier is on its way. Just working out some kinks and hinges before we decide to open so please be a bit more patient. :3

This morning, I had a job interview. Because of personal circumstances, sadly, I didn't get it. Billy wanted to cheer me up so he took me to Ezekiel's Restaurant (review coming really soon!) and to the mall where the Sanrio store is!
I even looked extra nice for the interview too...
I had used to work in the store once before so imagine my surprise when I walked in! They had these plushies on display though that were on sale. Since I was feeling a bit bummed out still, Billy got me:
Okay, Pom Pom Purin is actually Billy because he finds the dog really cute. Heh. I love it when Billy likes some of the things I like - it makes me feel that maybe I'm seeing a part of him that he only lets me sees!
Anyway, here's some of a closer look of the plushies I got:
Cinnamoroll
Masyumaro
Pom Pom Purin
Sorry about that weird picture of Pom Pom Purin; that's probably the best one I could get. But anyway. Even though the plushies are kind of small, they still put a huge smile on my face. I've been a Sanrio fan for a really long time so seeing (and getting, of course) these plushies with some of the older & especially rarer characters...
Hopefully, I can get a job soon.

The front side of the package.
For those of you who don't know, I've been in school (on and off) since I was 22 or so years old but because of personal reasons (moving, having to work/survive, etc), I hadn't been able to complete school. However, I only had a few credits left. So, when I settled here where I am last year, I hit the books hard. After this summer class, I'm going to have all the credits I need to finally graduate with an Associate's degree (Web Development)!
And because it took such a long time for me to actually get the degree, I decided to treat myself. I got myself some stuff that I've always wanted! Of course, not all the presents for myself isn't here yet but one part is!
I reviewed To February earlier and I mentioned about their packaging. So, now I want to take the time to show you guys how they packaged their jewelry!
The backside of the package.
The packaging is heavily protected as it has bubble wrap within the packaging itself. It's also a little hard to open with your bare hands:
But I managed to get it opened without scissors! I'd heavily recommend scissors though. Of course, the package will vary in size, depending what you get from their store.
A closer look at the opening.
As for the items themselves, they come in, prepackaged and safe from any potential danger in case things outside our control happens!:
In case you can't tell, that's tape holding the box together.
I'm really thankful they do that because I really don't want some of these things damaged! They have fine details that need to be protected!
I bet you're wondering what I actually got! Well...
Yes, it's actually pretty long!
How cute!
A closer look at the earrings!
Originally, I was going to get this Flag Crop Top because I thought, since the 4th of July will be coming, and with Arizona being a desert, it'd be a cute way to celebrate the holiday! Sadly, I was refunded the money and decided to get something else. In one of the reviews for the items I got, I see this review by CutieKimmy:
I REALLY LOVE THIS NECKLACE! I looks the same as in the picture :) SOO CUTE! And this goes very well with the Gold Bow Earings and somehow these 2 together looks like Juicy Couture....I guess its cuz of the Bow LOL. This doesnt go with everything though...Maybe just...like fancy outfit i guess...I LOVE THIS!! <33
I figured...To February is like a drug to me so I went there right away!
So, I'm going to stick to my store review - I seriously love this store so much! Absolutely no complaints, as usual!
I would post pictures of me wearing the earrings and necklace but my glasses are screwed up right now... I have to go out and get some new ones. Eventually.

The package that the nail wheel was sent in.
While I was browsing Louise's blog, she mentioned on a post of nail polishes she got from her boyfriend that she had something called a nail wheel - which is literally a wheel of fake nails for you to try swatches of nail polish on. I thought it was pretty nifty and actually really useful because I do plan on reviewing more nail polishes in the future...
So I went on eBay to hunt for one that'll not only be cheap but will get here quickly.
Eventually, I found one right here by eBay seller city-green that's not only in the States and was cheap - but it had free shipping! So I ordered on June 03, 2013 and it arrived June 07, 2013 (from New Jersey to Arizona) in the package up above. Not bad~! If I need to get another one for some reason, I know exactly where to go!
Anyway... When I opened the package, this is what was inside:
"Remind You of Happy Time"
It was only the bag which contained the nail wheel and a small coupon book for the next time I decide to buy from that company! Anyway...
I don't know if you can see it real well but, yes, it is transparent. Haha, I was hoping I can get the straight up white ones but I actually like these a little better. I'm not quite sure why but I just do! Although, it might be a bit more difficult to tell where one would miss a spot when doing swatches for reviews so it looks like I have to be very careful!
Before I put nail polishes on it!
I know it's kinda blurry but that's because it's reflecting the flash off of it...But at least you can see it a little bit better!
After!
I'm really glad I got this because know it'd be easier for me to do reviews without having to paint my own nails and make a mess or just get a paper towel, put the nail wheel on it, and then paint them. Well, it might be a little bit more work but it will make life easier (especially since I tend to do reviews spontaneously anyway) for me.
The nail polishes featured on the wheel (starting bottom and going counter-clockwise):
Sinful Colors (Beautiful Girl), Hard Candy (Silver), Hello Kitty (Mixed Berries), Sinful Colors (Unicorn), Forever 21 (Sparkly Pink), Revlon (Midnight Affair), Hard Candy (Pink), Hard Candy (Black), War Paint Beauty (Pretty In Pink), & Hard Candy (Red).
I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend!
