I'm back!!!

So here I am. Back after like a whole month... lol, I haven't been in the blogging world in soo long, I need to catch up on all my fav blogs and youtube channels.

Seriously, the last month has been sooo hectic. Between the complicated decision of coming back to Japan, the resumed classes, crazy assignments, and work (and earthquakes that still go on), I haven't been able to keep up with everything else that wasn't school or work related...

Anyway, I guess as an update, I had fun back home. Even though I got sick for like half the time I was there and was confined to my bed....(-_-;;)

I spent my birthday with my friends and family
I made it back for like the last 2 days of the Cherry Blossom season...

The parks are all really pretty =)


This semester is officially over and I will have more time to get back into all of this =)

So I'll leave you guys with some my nails from a few weeks ago <3




I hope you all are doing alright! Missed you guys!!!!

my first Haul =)

First of all... can I just say how happy I am to eat American Chinese food??? OMG... I missed beef and broccoli and pork fried rice. 

So the other day I went to the mall and got a few things. I already mentioned the victoria's secret things that I bought. 
Here are the actual pictures. I picked things that smell fruity and sweet, so here are all the things that I loved in the garden collection. 

from left to right: luscious kisses, coconut passion, wild scarlet, ravishing love


strawberry and champagne, lost in fantasy, and pure seduction body butters
The pink sweet and flirty wasn't part of the deal...
last but not least, love spell




I also stopped by to get some china glaze polish, because I've never bought any (too expensive in Japan). There was a deal for 2 for $10. I was pretty excited, and I want to buy some more china glaze polishes. 


I also bought a few things from a drug store that are everyday things like deodorant (lord knows I need to stock up on those before I go back). I decided to buy the "crystal" deodorant, but I'm a bit skeptical... Let's see how it works... I've been dying without my neutrogena face cleanser/mask. It was my holy grail face cleanser and I felt so lost without it.... ::sigh:: And I had to stock up on summers eve cause I haven't found feminine washes in Japan...

So here's my question: what other nail polish brands do you recommend, or what colors do you think I should buy?
If there are other drug store products that are must haves, what are they? I can't wait to buy more!

I'm in America guys!!!

I can't believe it, but my family got me a ticket back home and before I knew it was am back home in Jersey! OMG I missed it so much! I ate at Olive gardens, dunkin donuts, and home town buffet so far...at a reasonable price!!!!! I got some victoria secret body sprays, 8 for 35 bucks, and each spray goes for that much on it's own back in Japan. Felt SO good.

Anyway, just letting you know I am away from Japan for now but will be back pretty soon =)

I will be be doing some hauls soon enough!!! I def wanna go to forever 21 and other stores!!!

Miss u guys and will be back soon =)

Something bright.

It's weird how I spent my day pretty much the whole time in this same seated position. I can't get my self to get up and do anything I wanted to. Finally I packed an emergency backpack, but no water or snacks to put in cause...well I just haven't gone out to the store which is low on supplies anyway.

The day I got back from Tokyo after the major earthquake hit, I cleaned up the house from all the things that fell over and I did my nails. I sat for ages, unable to decide on a look, and looked through so many pictures and finally settled on one picture. It was pink and white, and I don't know it seemed positive.  Right after I did them I fell asleep, so please don't mind the imprint of my sheets lol. All this little pieces have fallen off now, so I may finally get off my bum and do my nails again. It's weird, but it's kind of something to make me feel like things are back to normal and just blocks out all the things happening for a little bit lol...

We had another somewhat big earthquake today, and I didn't want to go to the bathroom right after because I didn't want the after shock to happen when I was taking a pee lol. I seriously started thinking... Would I flush the toilet if that happened?...would you even wipe if it was really bad?? LOL! It's a stupid question and gross, but it got me thinking if that ever happened in the history of earthquakes. Or maybe your in the shower... I'm gonna stop before I scare myself from going to the bathroom or showering for the the next two months lol. I'm just so thankful that I even have a home that I can go to a bathroom in. Please keep those who are displaced, missing, and injured in your thoughts..

Can't even buy bread...

Hey guys.


So I'm still in Japan. The japanese government and the authorities are SO horrible about letting the public know about what's happening or what's really going on. That's kinda why even though they keep saying things are safe for now it's like...really? Like the whole radiation found in tokyo, they were saying how it wouldn't really happen, at least not that fast, then it did. Thank you wind for spreading the radioactive material down to Kanagawa.... They say the ones that came to Tokyo and Kanagawa are harmless. But as you go higher north, they are having 10 times the usual radioctive levels (chiba) and even 100 times (Ibaragi). Not to mention the 30 km radius around the site that's a no fly zone and how people had to evacuate if they lived with in 20 km of the area.





There were some explosions at the nuclear plant over the week. Some reactors caught fire and that maybe the reason for the increase radioactive particles that leaked. They say that the levels are going down now, thank god. but two of the reactors just keep getting hotter so they are still trying to pump water to cool them down. There are only 50 of them now I think, 750 of them were told to leave (which makes me wore worried. Things must be getting worse if that many people were told to evacuate and not help stop the plant from exploding..)Seriously those people that are out there rising their lives when dozens have already been injured just makes me want to...well I really don't even know what I can do for them but they deserve something BIG. 


We were told to try to stay in doors. As you can imagine, food's scarce here in Tokyo. Things are sold out, everyone's stocking up on food. Everywhere we go we can't find rice or bread, etc... They're all preparing in case things get worse and we cant get out. But honestly, if it comes my old unstable building will offer me no protection against radiation. My apartment is far from air tight especially with those new cracks in my ceiling lol...
in case you missed it
The number of confirmed deaths are rising. And even people in Tokyo and Kanagawa had deaths even though we're miles and miles away from Sendai. Buildings are really old here and they're just collapsing.
Take a look at this video ...

So anyway, things are still shaky. We had 2 more strong earthquakes tonight. My job announced we won't be working for the rest of the month this evening. I hope things seriously get better...
