Lifestyle and Daily Shenanigans with a dash of Nerd Appreciation thrown in.
Willkommen!
Hello, there! I'm Mochizuki, a twenty-something year old Graphic & Web Design student located somewhere in America and welcome to Waiting for June a Lifestyle blog that occasionally gets a tad too personal, talks about cosmetics, and constantly the home for prattles about Bandcamp, nerd culture, and tea/coffee. To find out more about blog and the blogger, click here.
Thank you so much for visiting and reading Waiting for June! If you like what we do here and want to help support the addiction of the blogger, you should look into spoiling the blog and its creator with coffee and gifts by using the links below. Even if you don't, you're still pretty dope for visiting, reading, enjoying, et cetera.

It's Monday night for me and frankly, I'm all too happy for this bloody day to end already. I absolutely abhor Mondays. Mondays and Sundays are positively dreadful to someone like me who believes that the only real days of the week are the days in between and wishes that Sundays and Mondays could be slept in.
Anyway, I speent the day design a new layout. I'm still unsure of whether I want to make it a website layout, a Tumblr theme, or a Blogger skin. I think I may make three separate versions so that I can actually update my new blogskins and put it too good use...you know...finally. Kepp reading to check out the concept/main design for my new template, some information about said template, and pictures of my simple dinner.
So I practically spent all day on this design in Photoshop. I started at about 5am, stopped at around 7 to nap, woke up at 12 and continued until around 7 that evening. So in total, I spent 8 hours in total on it. Now that may not seem like a lot, but considering all the text and layers used, it definitely is waaay more than a lot. Just...you'll see what I mean.
× The main design and the information to be used for each section. {full sized cap}
× The layers used in the main design. {1/2} {full sized cap}
× The layers used in the main design. {2/2} {full sized cap}
I copied this from my Tumblr post: "I also included caps of my layers. Some of them I got lazy and didn't name. Whatever. Also, the colour coding. Green Coloured Layers are layers that are coloured layers. Like background coloured layers. Yellow Coloured Layers are shape layers. Blue Coloured Layers are text layers. Violet/Purple Coloured Layers are line layers. And there's about 40+ layers used in this design."
Honestly, as much work as I put into it and how painstakingly torturous I claim it to be, I'm completely happy with it. I think it's a bit of a step up from previous mock design. Actually, it's a huge step up. It should be noted that I am doing progress posts on my creations via my Tumblr and this blog, but more in depth reports are made on Tumblr. If you feel like following my progresses more in depth, check out the “`progressions” tag on my Tumblr.
After 8 hours of doing this, I ate dinner.
Monday's Dinner:Spaghetti.
Now, as productive as this is, I still fucking hate Mondays and I'm going to sleep. Night.

Hello, there!
Welcome to Waiting for June. Waiting for June is a Lifestyle Blog that focuses predominantly on daily life shenanigans and nerd culture, but occasionally dabbles in health & beauty, food, and prattling about serious topics.
Waiting for June is the sixth iteration of the same blog with a different name and structure. The original iteration of this blog was started back in November of 2012 as a purely Beauty and Lifestyle blog under the name Monochromatics which later got abandoned and restarted under the name sumeoseo. With sumeoseo came more beauty and review based blog which quickly lost its appeal. From that point on, there were three name changes, multiple hiatuses, and two blog changes before coming to where we are now.
Throughout this journey, I've learned that this blog shouldn't be limited to what I feel fits in with what I read from other bloggers nor should I put myself in a position to compromise my integrity and the feeling of transparency that I feel should always be there. I've also learned that blogging is probably never going to be a huge source of income the way I always expected it to be. So when I finally returned back to blogging with a fresh blog and an equally fresh name, I decided to make this blog about anything that I wanted to and break the mold of trying to fit into the mold. I can only imagine where this experience is going to take me.

Hello, there!
Welcome to the little about me section of the blog. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm Mochizuki and I'm kind of pretty important here. Admittedly, Mochizuki is a nom de plume, but I digress. I'm currently somewhere in my twenty-somethings and doing that thing where I'm learning how to be a proper adult while balancing being a student and a worker. Speaking of school, I'm a Graphic Design major who's concentration is Web Design and I take my classes online. If I'm being honest here, I do everything online because of my apprehension towards too much social interaction.
I'm typically reading something, playing a video game, watching anime, or something otherwise nerdy because that's how I roll. I don't engage with people unless I'm positive there is something in common there simply because I don't want to make it weird for anyone involved. That said, the reason I originally created this blog, or rather, any of my blogging adventures, was so that I could engage with people wo share the same interests as me while simultaneously sharing my own things with people.
I'm not terribly good at about me's, so expect this to be updated sporadically in a lot of ways.

A clear and concise guide on how reviews are approached and written.
This blog touches on and is dedicated to a variety of topics including: daily life, cosmetics, my journey to being a healthier me, music, books, anime, et cetera; however, a large chunk of the content found here are some form of review be they miniature reviews or full blown, in-depth reviews. Because of this, this blog has decided to implement and share it's review policy.
Please note that this policy is liable to change at any point in time, so do constantly check back before sending inquiries to kurahge@outlook.com.
Depending on the workload and the type of product is received, at any given time, multiple products can be in queue to be reviewed.
Depending on the product, the amount of time for a review to be posted varies. Typically, the length of time is as follows: anything health or beauty releated will take between 5 days and 1 week, books take between 3 days and 5 days, music and movie reviews take between 1 to 2 days, and most other reviews are variant depending on the situation at hand.
Products are predominantly purchased with my own money. On the off chance that the product or prodcuts were provided to me, there is always a note at the top of post and as well as text within the post that acknowledges such. Despite being provided a product or not, the opinions are honest and valid.
As of April 14th, 2016, there has been a change in how reviews are formatted. If working with a product that has a list of ingredients (health, beauty, cosmetics, etcetera), there will be a graphic that lists the ingredients out of respect and transparency for the readers.
Photos for reviews, particularly health and beauty related, are unedited and provided in a clear manner to help show what results occurred (if any.)
If at any point, a review is rushed despite being informed of and knowing the review policy of this blog, I will drop the review and pay for the product accordingly. I am a college student and a full-time worker, blogging is a bit of side project no matter how much I wish it otherwise, so my time is a bit crammed. Basically, rushing will terminate any agreement we may have unless it's valid (meaning absolutely my fault.)
