I’m baaaaack

(1st picture was me when I first got to NYC, the 2nd is me this semester)

Wow, almost a year since I last wrote a post and I'm here I am now, leaving NYC in about 3 weeks! It’s such a shame I abandoned this blog when I was so close to actually moving into the city! I’ve decided to come back, even if I’m leaving again soon (but coming back in August!). I definitely have a lot of stories to tell, photos to share and tips to shed!

So super brief update:

1: I broke up with my boyfriend from back home. Being together while being in different landmasses just wasn’t gonna work.
1a: I have a new boyfriend here! We’ve known each other for almost 6 months and have been dating for 2 and everything is going wonderfully!

2: My hair is now short and red! (ok, it’s more of an auburn color, but it’s a crazy change!)

3: I took 9 classes last semester and 10 this semester and it went pretty well! (Got 5 B’s and 4 A’s last semester, haven’t finished this semester yet.)

4: NYC’s winter this year was so mild! It only snowed twice so my transition from a tropical island to here was not too bad.

Ok, so that update probably didn’t cover much but it’s a good base seeing as I’m basically starting this blog again! I’m so excited to be back, I really miss blogging and don’t care if nobody reads my posts. I know this blog will be helpful to someone out there dreaming of coming here.

 
 

P.S. Spring in NYC is so pretty! (Kinda chilly though!)

So good to be back! (Plus a super brief Sephora lipstick review!)

Hello! Looooong time, no update :)

So finally, after about a month, I got my internet back at home! It's been such a drag here at home without it! Trying to catch up on my favorite blogs' posts and reading e-mails and seeing what my ex-classmates are up to this summer etc etc

So I know I promised an update on my grad dress and prom dress but I have to edit the pictures, so that'll take just 1 or 2 more days. I do however have some news! My 18th birthday is this friday! I'm excited because that's just a step closer to receiving more independence in my life plus it also means I'm that much closer to moving to NYC, which is probably what passerbys of my blog are waiting for :P

So I'd been dying for the longest time to buy myself a tube of jet black lipstick. Finally, after a little hunting, I found one at Sephora! It's Rouge Artist Intense lipstick #50.

This lipstick takes a little extra pressure than regular lipsticks to get true black color. That kinda ticked me off a little but whatevs! I really did like it though. It's not really moisturizing but it doesn't dry my lips either so that's good.

As you can tell by the picture: the problem I have with the lipstick is if my lips are even remotely chapped, the color will start to come out of the little cracks. Not to mention when I tried to put gloss over it, the lipstick came off kind of easily!

All in all I still like this lipstick, also good black lipstick is fairly hard to find so I'll just make do with this one :)

Sorry if this review sucked, it was super quick since I was excited to show you guys right away :P Here's a great review I found though from Temptalia!

Official hiatus (sorry!)

Sorry I've been out for about a week, or more! The thing is that I have lost the internet connection at home for some mysteriously flippin' reason! grrr!

I will not be able to make any official posts for a while but here's a mini-update on what's been going on in my life :)

1. Graduated high school last Saturday! (picture of my graduation dress coming soon!)
2. Prom next week (picture of my beautiful prom dress after prom coming soon as well!)
3. Loooots of shopping (will take pics of my buys)
4. Updating this from my hotel room! (Staying at Embassy Suites because of my brother's 9th grade graduation/ prom trip.)

If you want to keep up with me in the meantime while my internet gets sorted out, follow my twitter! (I update from my phone)
