☆ ebay review: lolita red & black wig ☆

(.=^・ェ・^=) i'm here today reviewing a wig i bought a couple months ago. i bought it from the ebay seller workforcustomer. i got the wig for $10.99 and it took about 3 weeks to get to me. it was my very first wig so i didn't want to go too expensive. i wanted to try it out for fun!

as you can see it is a very long wig. it goes down to my boobs. first thing i could tell was that it matched the stock photo pretty well - the FIRST stock photo, with the asian model. not the mannequin. i don't know why the fuck the mannequin's pictures are doing in this wig listing because it's obviously not even close?? ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

the colors are vibrant, i really really like the split with the black portion because it is really unique. my problem with this wig is that it being cheap and also so long it tangles very easily. it takes lots of brushing and patience with this wig... which i don't always have lol.（ಠิ౪ಠิ*）you can probably tell in my photos that i didn't brush it out all the way today. if you brush too much and too strong, the hairs come out which is frustrating af.

the seller includes a wig cap with your purchase which is always nice. i like the wig cap they gave in particular because it really is stretchy! i have actually A LOT of very thick hair so getting it to fit in a wig cap and to look okay under a wig is a struggle sometimes. because the top of this wig is so bouncy and wide it fits my head well. they made the 'scalp' of the wig white so it blends in. 

i stuck some bunny ears on so my pictures wouldn't be all the same lol ⌒(=･ x ･=)⌒

i will say that there is SO MUCH hair when it comes to the bangs! it's almost too wide so it makes my head look a little... idk, like a mushroom i guess? but it's okay, i still like the overall look.

so how do i rate this wig today? (*ﾉωヾ*)

 price: 5/5 

 quality 3.5/5  

 shipping: 4/5 

 look: 4/5 

so, i do like this wig. it met my expectations for the price that i paid. i think it looks super cute in photos, and to make it more wearable i might cut it. i do think there are better wigs out there, and i plan on venturing into better quality, more well known wigs from reputable brands, but as for as ebay wigs go, i recommend it! if you wish to purchase this wig you can go here. that's all for this post, bai bai (ી(΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵)ʃ)♥

☆ little tokyo day: junk food, h&m, & purikura ☆

yesterday i went with my family to los angeles~ mainly little tokyo! i hadn't been to little tokyo in a long long time even though it's so close. i wanted to see if anything had changed, and though i know there would be cute stuff to buy (there always is!), i gave myself a restriction LOL (‾⌣‾) but of course i ended up with some stuff. i want to apologize first off for not taking pictures of little tokyo and the shops! my phone was so close to dying!! 

my family and i first walked around a bit and then we got ice cream~ it's not the huge towering ice creams you usually see floating around in pics from tokyo but it was still delicious (っ˘ڡ˘ς)  i got a french vanilla in a sugar cone!

after that we went into a very small super market - nijiya market. though it was small it had quite a nice selection of stuff! not as great as mitsuwa but still pretty good and their items weren't very expensive either. they had a really tasty looking section of ready-to-eat japanese food like sushi, curries, etc, but i didn't get any. i wanted to! if i go back, i hope to try some. 

i ended up only buying some junk food lol i can't help it, they were all so cute ヽ(；▽；)ノ

aha that kit kat bag is opened because my family couldn't resist and we had to try it!

what catapulted me into buying snacks is when i saw this package! soft oreo cookies with matcha filling. it was on sale for $1.99!!!! that is so cheap!

they come in adorable little packets like this, making it easy to just take some and put in your bag to give to your friends or something~!!

after i took a bite haha. well upon eating it i realized that matcha flavor is not that strong o(╥﹏╥)o you mostly just taste the chocolate part really.. it's quite overwhelming. it's still good, but disappointing because i love matcha flavored anything! i don't think i would repurchase this on taste alone. i rate this cookie a 3/5.

so my aunt saw this and was very perplexed and we bought it. (it was about $4.99) cheescake flavor? okay! but what is up with the baking tray thing?? apparently you can eat this kit kat flavor by itself but kit kat reccomends that you bake it for the true flavor and experience! well, we haven't done that yet. we will! but we couldn't resist trying it because CHEESECAKE IS THE BEST CAKE ヽ(´∇｀)ﾉ

OTL this flaky kit kat makes for an ugly picture lol. well it just looks normal but the taste!! they really managed the cheesecake taste! 〣( ºΔº )〣 i don't know how, but it has the same sort of tangy, sweet taste that a cheesecake has...some how i can taste the crust too. it's a little rich so i can't see myself 'snacking' on it but it's good for a dessert candy. 4.5/5!! i can't wait to bake this ◝(○ ヮ ○)◜

when i saw this it made me laugh. crunky? i think they were going for crunchy but maybe they were trying to avoid copyright infringement because it's incredibly similar to nestle's crunch lol. any way it's matcha flavored and was only $1.49 so i had to get it. OMG it's incredibly good!

it's so pretty! there is a very satisfying crunch to it~ it's pretty simliar to the regular old chocolate crunch bar most of us know, but with a very distinct and strong matcha flavor. it's so addicting! i ate the whole thing in like 5 minutes. this is my favorite of the candy i bought. 5/5!!

(lolwoops i opened the bag before the pic ಥ_ಥ) i only got this because i see this character everywhere and she is so cute. but apparently this candy is pretty popular in japan and kind of an old fashioned favorite. it was really cheap too! $1.99 for this bag.

the packaging is so cute awwww. you don't want to unwrap it. well, it does have true milky flavor, kind of like sweet condensed milk. i like it a lot. it's very chewy and a little hard at first, so don't try and bite it unless you want it stuck to your teeth! it melts in your mouth pretty fast though. 4/5!

i didn't take a pic of the ice cream candy or taste it because i was full at this point LOL. but i've tried the caplico ice cream cone candy before and it's delicious! it somehow really does taste like ice cream, but like in a creamy biscuit way. i'd rate it 5/5. ANYWAYS MOVING ON

i went into a cosplay store that was filled with plushies, wigs, costumes, and best of all: purikura booths!!!! i did purikura with my friends a couple years ago at the only place near me and when i went back a while ago, they were closed down (´;︵;`) why are they so hard to find? so when i saw a ton of booths i lost my mind. i had to try one haha. it was so expensive though. it's ok because i had so much fun! here are the pictures!

ahahhh i look so funny. some of them i think i look cute, some of them are weird/ugly like the cross hands lol. i was just following the poses they recommended because i didn't know how to pose. my family rushed me when i was doing the stickers at the end so i didn't get to decorate as much as i wanted ੨( ･᷄ ︵･᷅ )ｼ

close up of my two favorite pictures ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ahhh i love purikura. it's cute and enjoyable, idk why!

after little tokyo we went to glendale galleria, which is a large mall. i only really went there because i wanted to see the h&m because when i was in little tokyo, i was wearing these huge platform shoes...and on one of the shoes, the platform fell off!!! so i didn't want to look like a hobbling weirdo, i tore the platform off the other shoe.

i couldn't find any shoe in little tokyo and i knew h&m would have some cute shoes for cheap lol. and i told myself i wouldn't buy any more shoes ughhhhhh lol. but i ended up getting a superduper cute pair of flats and this adorable egg coin pouch. because i love eggs. egg shaped accessories and clothing has seemed to really pop up lately and i am really enjoying that fact, but everything is usually expensive lol *cough cough lookingatyouinuinushop*

so that's why i love h&m so much (ノ﹏ヽ) they always have such cute stuff at great prices

close up on the shoes - it says "#shelfie" lmfao. it's kinda lame but cute too. they're SO comfortable!

ITS SO CUTE OMG AHH

and, after that i went and eat chinese for dinner with my family, and came home and passed out. so that's it for my haul! if you're ever in los angeles i highly recommend you go to tokyo village, they have so much cool stuff nowadays!! that's it for this post~ bai bai ⊂((・▽・))⊃

☆ reuniting w/ my childhood bff + mini haul [h&m, misc] ☆

because i'm moving to oklahoma next month, i decided to reach out to some people to see if we could hang out before i left. one of those people was cindy, my childhood best friend. we were the closest of friends but in 2007 i had to move cities, and i haven't seen her since then! it took us a long time, but we finally saw each other two days ago! we had a really awesome day and it was so nice to catch up with her. it was like i had never left! we took a few polaroids pics which made me happy :3 i love adding more pictures to my collection.

so the first thing that we did was go straight to my old hometown, lil saigon!! we were so hungry and of course lunch is the best way to have great conversations. we went to nha hang 1.99, and both ordered com ga chien (chicken w/ rice and egg). the sauce is absolute crack. i love this stuff. i thought it would be funny to take pictures of both of us taking pictures of our food lol. 

so yummy!! i wish i could have this every day!

afterwards we went shopping at the asian garden mall. it's basically a vietnamese mall but there are some chinese and korean vendors in there as well. we went near closing time so there wasn't much time to do or get much but we still managed to get something! 

i got us matching macaroon keychains!! i failed to take a picture of cindy's, but i got her a matching purple one. mine is pink, of course. i love it because it's so soft and squishy and matches my instax camera perfectly!

i also got a bunch of bear stickers for $1.00! i stuck them on some of our polaroids and on my camera. :)

after that we made a stop at her mom's house because i hadn't seen her mom in a while! i wouldn't say i was close to her mom by any stretch, but i spent a lot of time at her mom's house when we were kids and i thought it would be nice to visit her. :) 

her mom was so sweet and funny haha! she gave us some grape jello? to eat and it was really good. she also gave me $100 O____O it was so unexpected and i felt really bad for taking it. but she said it was for me as i was moving and it just a very nice thing for her to do! i felt sad as we left because i had a lot of good memories at cindy's house when were kids haha and it made me miss being a kid again!

then we still didn't want to end our day! around this time was like 9pm? i think. most places were closing or already closed, so we headed over to the irvine spectrum where we got matching sweaters at h&m! 

this sweater was only $5! it's such a cute baby blue pastel color, so soft and comfortable and i thought the font for the words was super cute. cindy got it as well :) now whenever we wear our sweaters we'll be reminded of each other!

i also ended up picking this AMAZING little twin stars pouch at h&m! it was $12.95, a little pricey but at the same time, i'm sure sanrio would sell it for much, much more so i consider myself lucky. i didn't know h&m had little twin star stuff! it was the only one i saw so i had to snatch it up. i don't know what i'll put in it exactly but i'll find a use for it. it's so cuteeee ahhhh

it has a lot of room! you could easily fit an ipad in here.

close up of the print. so cute. T^T 

we took some last polaroids before we went home. 

i'm so awkward at posing!

and my favorite picture of the night! it's so cute!

all in all, i had a really great day reconnecting with cindy. :) i'm so glad we did. she was my bestest friend and she always will be one of my best friends, even if i live in another city or another state. i hope to have her in my life always.
