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.
Seeing as I have to backtrack my posts greatly, this post took me a lot longer to edit and post than I wanted to. Anyway, I decided to jump up on the bandwagon and do one of these "What's In My?" posts. I want to make a series of this because I have a couple things I can do this for including bags, phones, iPods, and even my laptop. However, a lot of these things I need to take pictures of them and since I'm a lazy asshole, this will have to be split into parts.
Anyway, let's just go ahead and get this under way, yes?
Let's start with my iPhone. Since most of you aren't aware of this seeing as I don't broadcast it as much as usual, I am now an iPhone user. Partly by choice, but mostly because I wasn't really impressed by any of the new Android phones I've seen thus far, sadly enough, so I decided to get the iPhone 4s since anyone who's heard me rant before knows that I dislike how the iPhone 5 looks. So that's a thing. A part of me misses my Android and if anything happens to my iPhone I'm immediately jumping right back to my Android.
Anyway, I won't do all the apps on my phone since I have a lot, so I'll just list the ones I use most. And yes, my apps are actually listed under categories in my phone. I'm terribly OCD. If it's not an extremely important and overused app, it's in a categorized box on my screen. So, let's just start this, yes?
Starbucks. | I am in fact one of those Starbucks junkies and I absolutely regret nothing. I think the stuff they offer is delicious and the drinks are priced properly (at least where I am), it's the food that really gets to me. The prices for their food are ridiculous, but ugh, the drinks are perfect. Venti Iced Green Tea Latte with Vanilla; Extra Shaken is my default go-to drink, but if you have any suggestion for someone who loves coconuts, vanilla, green tea, and sweet, but not overly sweet things...lemme know. Also, I'm currently like 5 stars away from the 30 needed for Gold. So happy. Instagram. | Does this really need an explanation? I use it quite frequently, obviously, but not as much as others. It's a nice app and I like sharing my photos with people. Just not too deep into it yet. Follow me? Twitter. | Obviously I'm a tweet-head. No need to explain. Follow me? Skype. | If you can't catch me on Twitter, Instagram, MSN, or email...you can definitely find me on Skype. I'm either awake or not and my status is always set up to go in accordance with my awake status. I leave Skype running because almost everyone contacts me through it or texting. So that's a thing. Facebook. | Unfortunately, the people closest to me that don't live in the same area as me, don't have text messaging, or I don't in general particularly care for have Facebook. It's a sub main because I use it for certain offhand jobs I do and for family mostly.
→ Side Apps.
Bloglovin'. | Obviously, Bloglovin' is a thing that I use because well...do I really need to explain? SoundCloud. | I use it mostly for bands and people that I adore and want to listen to clips of things. Like Fall Out Boy and Kid Fury's & Crissle's "The Read". Plus, I'm still trying to decide whether or not to make podcasting a thing. KakaoTalk. | Aside from my normal texting, I use KakaoTalk when I feel like being fancy and/or not using normal texting. Chase. | I bank with Chase. The end. MagicPlan. | I'm planning on redoing my bedroom, so I used this app to measure my room. It's absolutely fucking lovely and I feel like this is my own brand of heaven sent. DecorPad. | DecorPad gives me so much inspiration for my room. A good bit of the designs are absolutely lovely and I live for them.
Here's what I have in my cupboard, I think I missed a couple of things, but here are the thing I fucks with the most. And before you ask, yes...I am a hug tea and coffee lover. I live for tea and coffee. If I'm not drinking tea, I'm drinking coffee or vice versa.
My favourite drink from this selection is the Land O Lakes White Chocolate Caramel Cappuccino. It is heaven, let me tell you.
And this ends this post. Until next time, loves.
[EDIT: The scheduling thing is off for me and I don't have any idea why. So the next to posts are intenseley backtracked. Also, my vacation is starting a bit later than I originally hoped.]

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.)
