Sunday Thrifting

This is my Sunday blog...

This weekend I had intention to not do much and be lazy, but according to my sister I needed some fresh air.

So she and my mum pulled me out of my cave to go thrifting and to grab food.

For late lunch/early dinner we went to a ceviche Mexican restaurant chain that we actually love. My mom had some shrimp aguachile and my sister some ceviche. 

Note: Aguachile is similar lo ceviche, but it's more limey and it has some sort of  green chiles sauce. 

Then of course seafood= margarita and beer 

Mine was a Coronita Rita.... (trying saying that multiple times)

This was a michelada, but it had some tamarind in there and it was mouth watering!

Then I had a lobster burrito, because I was feeling something creamy and cheesy instead of limey.

I don't typically buy at Salvation Army, but this was a really big one and we spent like two hours checking out every isle with patience. 

These are my gets! The best part was the price, all of these items for aprox 10 USD!

Some albums to collect my cheki and purikura :) since I have too many all over the place.

This top was nice, it reminds me of something I would have worn in 2004 or something. Anyhow, needed more tops that are not graphic t-shirts.

This one could easily go over a bralette. 

This was too good to pass! I will probably use it during fall/winter which is not too far.

My coworkers and I have this thing for long skirts and joking about looking prude-ish. So I will definitely wear it to work and rock the Sunday-school teacher vibe.

It might be too big on the waist, but I can easily adjust it with some pins. 

This wrap dress will take me out of trouble for more dressy events. I don't really go to many, but this kind of print and cut looks great on my body-type.

I needed some retail therapy, but I am glad I did not go overboard. I need to document my daily outfits, at least so I can push myself to make them interesting. The fashion bug in me was fumigated long ago... I'll try to revive it somehow.

Anyways, this was a quick chit-chat I didn't plan. 

Time for bed! Have a nice week! Please stay strong and energetic!

Spiced Up Saturday+LIFE UPDATE

皆さん、こんにちは♡

I am keeping my strike with blogging mundane but interesting things so far. I gotta say, emotionally shit has been tough these days. However, I feel like I'm more calm and collected than I would have been last year. My motto right now is:

"Life is shit, but is up to me to handle how I react."

I give permission to myself to feel sad and cry if it's necessary, but I must keep walking and figuring out how I want to live my life.

I'm turning 30 this year, it feels like as painful as shit is I am growing and giving myself what I truly deserve. 

This is the selfcare route I chose and the people who are to grow with me will stay and the ones who are not there yet... we might meet later o we might not.

On to how my Saturday went...

I  had to do some analysis for my thyroid, and TBH weight conversations and Drs. who love to call me "chubby" truly trigger me....

So I decided to wakeup early and cheer myself up with pink eyeshadow. Pink will always be there to fill me up with all the energy and strenght I need...

I could not find my lenses, so I used contacts instead.

After the bloodwork and the other tests I found out I could not go to my appointment since the results were not ready until later that day. However, I got an email with my tests and so far everything looks great. I still need to do other tests next Saturday, but I am sure there's going to be a solution to my situation.

Then we were starving, so my mom and I decided to go to Paseo Chapultepec to try this restaurant we saw on Google. The plaza is really fancy, it reminds me of Polanco in Mexico City... It was actually designed by a friend of my mom's inspired by the plaza I just mentioned. 

Lorenza Tijuana is such a pretty place!

The restaurant itself was more of a Mexican fusion and the mixed drinks as well as 

Then I went home and decided to clean up my messy bed. I need to start organizing and donating old stuff... because we might move out of this apartment soon. 

I'm both worried and excited, because it means I get to decorate a new room and probably have more space to go back to streaming and doing art.

Next weekend is a Holiday, I will use it to store things I don't use as often.

What's in my bag....after I threw away all the junk and changed my wallet.

Daiso has so many scores! Like the My Melo cosmetic bag. 

Then I decorated my meds' organizer... because I have to be that bitch and I'm entering into a deco era.

And finally to close the day, my sister found this Alice in Wonderland tea set while thrifting. So she came all the way over to my house to give it to me! It's original and really cute!

And that's my update, hope to bring more interesting things this week!

Time to unwind and do some crafting.

Retail Therapy Daiso Gets!

Hello!

Today's update is about my shopping today. I went to work as usual and afterwards my sister and I went to eat to our favorite Japanese Dinner place. We had some beers, takoyaki, karage and I ordered soba since summer is here. 

After eating and chatting we went to Daiso to get some really needed shopping endorphins. I would say I'm doing good with my shopping, but I still needed the distraction.

Some microwave rice, which is actually good on a pinch. I have not tried this brand, but we will see if it's not too bad. I also love seaweed as a snack and since most of my coworkers enjoy this types of things I share with them too.

The Sanrio collection is getting out of hand... like I need everything every time I go into that isle.

I contained myself and got this heart cookie mold to do some clay and decoden with.

For my resin and journaling I got this tiny stickers.

Pooh is been lately on my radar since I went to Disneyland... Also, a picnic mat can be used many ways! I can't wait to organize a picnic and make cute snacks. Also it could double as a photo background...

Some puffy stickers for my gf. She loves Baymax so much!

For my personal care I got this cleanser from work, since I ran out and I like it so much. It's great and gentle with all skin types. I have been working with this project since 2019, so it would be nice to give it a recommendation boost. 

This is it for today....I'm so tired, but I look forward to posting in here. Now I'm off to fill in my journal entry....

Truth is things are never 100% okay, so I can give it my all and continue being resilient. I hope for everyone to have the strength to see tiny good things who are worth being here.  

I'll see you next time!

Pinky Paradise Gets + Extra Thrift Find

Hello! ヾ(´〇`)ﾉ♪♪♪

We're not short from the holidays... so here's my spirit? I guess? I live thru my friend's pets, I can't have one myself so I appreciate if you send me pet photos instead of children's. Thank you! 

Honey is my mom's Calico cat, she's the sweetest most calm cat ever.

This is Siego, my roomie's pupper! He's the bestest boy and loves to complain if I don't pet him enough...

ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧

Anyhow, my daily update is about my circle lenses! I'm so excited to try monthly lenses for my everyday looks! I bought everything from Pinky Paradise. I normally use Uniqso, but I wanted to get some GEO and Vassen.

I got a case for every pair. As expected from this store.

Monthly ones come in plastic capsules vs. the glass vials for yearly ones. 

I got 2 monthly pieces and 2 yearly ones. I will be letting you know how they feel as I open them.

These are the Euroasia collection in Khaki Green. My first opinion is that they are super comfy, I felt like I was wearing regular contacts. The down side is that they are really bright, so probably you might want to compensate with a heavier makeup. My coworker said I looked like a cat kkkk... but in a good way, I guess? Eyelashes would be a better idea. There is not much enlargement effect, but there's a circle around so that aids with the effect. It looks great with light eyes, so it will be no problem with dark eyes either.

ヽ(o´∀`)ﾉ♪♬ my extra thing for this post is this jacket my sis got for me! My wardrobe is growing slowly. I need to try it out with my LL dress, for sure!

It's vintage! 

No doubt my sis knows me so well. 

〜(￣▽￣〜) I think that's it for today. I have to sleep keep working cuz it is stream day... so I need to get my ish together before heading home.

XOXO-
