11 things about Yours Truly!:

1. My biggest (and worst) habit is biting the skin around my fingers when I am nervous. I've done it ever since I was a child! :c

2. I have big fascination with body modifications! Piercings, tattoos, ear stretches. etc. Most recently I've been interested in the look of dermal punches. I don't have a tattoo and no piercings besides two in each ear, but I'm really trying to muster up the courage to get something cute and small one day soon!

3. People are usually surprised to know that I like Tarantulas and snakes! But on the flip side, I hate small spiders. >.<

4. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 20 years old! Not because I never wanted to, but because no guys ever really noticed me in high school. I was a loner and really quite and derpy looking.:(

5. I like the smell of gasoline, sharpie, window cleaner, bleach, hair dye and hand sanitizer!! Pretty strange, but I can't help it for some reason.♥ 

6. I love to drink fruity alcohol! Of course I always drink responsibly and have never gotten drunk, but I do like to have Alcohol occasionally and on special occasions.<3 My favorites are probably Mike's Hard Strawberry Lemonade, Seagrams Escapes Peach Fuzzy Navel and Strawberry Daiquiri, and anything by Smirnoff, though I do admit I am a bit of a light weight. After 2 full glasses of Arbor Mist, I'm ready to fall asleep! :p

7. I used to be a huuuuuugeee tomboy back in middle school and off an on during high school! I only wore hoodies, jeans, sneakers, average hairstyles and absolutely no make-up! I didn't start shifting my appearance until after I graduated, mainly because I finally had the confidence to wear what I thought other girls looked cute in. There was a girly girl in me just waiting to be unleashed! :3

8. I know that in my blog and probably on other sites I come off as a really vibrant and open person, but in actuality when it comes to meeting new people I am EXTREMELY shy!! I've been this way since forever, but I am slowly getting out of it, thankfully!

9. I used to play Violin when I was a child, and a few years back I learned to play my keyboard by ear! I was really good at it but as of now I haven't had enough practice so I'm probably super rusty. >.<

10. Fashion and cute things are not my only interests of course! I also love baking, reading, writing, taking pictures, decorating, learning different languages, and learning about different cultures as well. Lately another one of my hobbies has been dancing!

11. My interest in Hello Kitty has probably lasted longer than most things I'm interested in lol...I've actually been in love with Hello Kitty since I was 11 years old, which is roughly 11 or 12 years! I actually still have quite a few HK items that I've had since 2001 when I initially got them..I have a feeling this infatuation of mine will most likely last forever!♥ 

 

11 Answers to Rinnie's questions:

1.Cats or dogs? (Or other animals if you prefer?)
If I had to choose between the two I'd say cats! But if I could say any animal I want, I'd say hamsters or bunnies!

2. What is your favorite trends for this season?
I adore the bold neon colors! It's so different and totally goes well with the warm and sunny weather!

3. What trend would you love to see revived?

I would LOVE to high-waist shorts become popular again...I've seen them a lot throughout the years but it hasn't really made an impact like say, skinny jeans or something. I love how they bring out one's legs and make the body look so feminine!

4. Describe your ideal night out.
I would say probably going to dinner, then maybe bowling or a really energetic concert or party of some sort...anything with high energy!

5. What type of foreign cuisine do you like best?
It would have to be a toss-up between Japanese, Indian and Thai! I love the uniqueness of Japanese food and the intense spices and flavors of Indian and Thai food. 

6. Do you like disney? If so, which movie (or movies) is your favorite?
I don't care too much for disney movies but the Lion King will probably always be my top favorite out of them all..it has such sentimental value to me!♥ 

7. What first sparked your interest in fashion/beauty/style?

I think initially watching celebrities that I admired and seeing my big sister dress up a lot is what first made me interested in fashion and beauty...I saw what the people I admired wore, and I wanted to look like that too!

8. Who is your 'cartoon hero'?Hmm I don't think I have one, however currently I've been admiring Kotobuki Ran from the SuperGals! anime. 

 9. Do you know what your first word was? If you do, please tell the story behind your first word!

I actually don't know what my first word was! I want to say it was something like "Hi!" but I am not entirely sure. :C

10. Which five words would you most like to be described as?

Girly, Stylish, loving, weird and smart-mouthed. haha! xD

11. What was the last thing/subject you studied or researched?

I majored in psychology for a brief period at the University of Wisconsin. Right now I'm currently not in school, but I still find ways to educate myself..recently I've been reading about laws and the different degrees of sex offenders..lmao xDD

11 Answers to Reeay's questions:

1. What made you start blogging?

My deep interest in fashion and cute stuff!  I mainly wanted to do a blog so that I could track my gyaru progress as well as hopefully inspire other girls who may want to follow the style too.

2. Favorite thing to cook?
I honestly don't cook too often lo (trying to get out of that though xD) but I absolutely LOVE baking! Cakes, cookies, quiche, homemade pizza from scratch...any type of baking is something I really find enjoyable.♥ 

3. How would you describe your style?
Gyaru kei!   I do sort of add my own personal spin and touch to it...but that's what gyaru is about really! I'm still not there 100%, but I can see my improvement daily which makes me happy.(●´∀｀●)

4. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Either a big city or somewhere that has a warm climate! I've always wanted to travel to places like Paris, Hawaii and Japan...and even though I have yet to visit, I LOVE California!  

5. One person you couldn't live without and why (excluding family)?

I would have to say my fiancé. He is hands down the most amazing person that has come into my life in some years...he's my best friend and life is honestly so much better now that I share it with someone I love. ♥ 

6. Your favorite way to de-stress?
I like reading, listening to music and most recently, sewing when I'm stressed out! Sometimes I'll pamper myself by giving myself a foot spa and facial or by sleeping too.  ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ 

7. Do you play video games & what's your favorite?
I'm a big fan of platform video games!! I also love games like God of War, Dragonball Z Tenkaichi and any other violent, gorey video games xDD Sadly I only have a Nintendo DS gaming system, but my favorite games are Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and anything Kirby or Sonic related. 

8. A book you could read over and over?
Probably "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli or "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson...mainly because I can relate to the main character in each book so well!♥ 

9. Favorite genre of music or favorite song at the moment?
I love anything alternative as well as Jpop/Jrock and EDM. My favorite songs at the moment are "Cornucopia" by Serj Tankian and "Summertime" by Hinoi Team. 

10. Do you speak any other languages and if no, what would you like to learn?

I can speak quite a bit of Japanese but I am still not fluent unfortunately. I would like to re-learn French and maybe even an African language.

I can play keyboard but barely! I need a crapload more of practice.
