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.
I don't know how many of my reader know this, but in 19 days, I will be 20 years old. Yes, I'll officially be one step closer to 21 and I'll have to change everything from 19 to 20. I feel amazing about this. This is one of the few birthdays that I've just been so excited for my birthday to come. I think it's because thre is a possibility that I'll be spending a week in North Carolina with my wife, otto, and a mutual friend. So that's always fun.
Today's post though, if you can't already tell is my birthday wishlist. I'm not expecting anyone to really get me anything as I normally don't get things for my birthday, but I think that in the spirit of getting properly excited, I must do a wishlist...
However on the off hand that you feel like getting me something, <a href="mailto:lullatoned@gmail.com">email me</a> to get my address.
Plus, it's been a while since I posted one of these. So yes. Continue past the jump to see some of the thing I crave, including: toy cameras, lipsticks, and polishes.
Toy Cameras
If anyone knows me, they one of my passions in life is art. I love and appreciate all forms of art and personally dabble in various forms of art. One of my favourite forms of art is Photography. I can't begin to explain why I love Photography so. The way one captures the beauty of movement, the absolute of words, and the grace of everything and nothing in the form of a photo has always been so utterly perfect in my mind and since I was younger and I got pass the stage of wanting to be a Lawyer and a Doctor (respectively), I began to cling to art and photography was one of my favourite things ever. A part of me has always wanted to be a photographer, whether I became a major photographer or just did freelance or did some day-to-day photography, I always thought I'd be content with that. And then Web Design came along and Photography became second, but no less loved.
Just as much as I love how the feel of a keyboard when I'm typing out some code that seems so simplistic, but ends up becoming more when I'm web designing, when I have a camera in my hand I feel liberated. Taking photos, even if it's just a picture of some mashed potatoes makes me happy. Almost the same feeling I get when cooking.
Anyway, toy cameras to me are far, far better than anything professional. I love how whimsical they come across as with their prices being significantly lower and them being so simple. I love that people use them for artistic effects and despite them not being big name and expensive cameras, some of the pictures taken with these cameras end up a part of big art shows and exhibits.
With this in mind, I went on a little hunt for these lovely cameras and picked out the 8 toy cameras, I'd love to own.
I'll list the camera names since they were scaled down and thus the text might be bit blurred. If you click on the camera names, you'll see them at a bigger size. From left to right and top to bottom, the cameras are:
Now, if you're a new reader or blind, you may not realize that I am a huge cosmetics lover (whore is a better word, but let's keep it classy today) and my favourite, favourite things in the world aside from liners are lipsticks and nail lacquers.
I stumbled upon 2 brands that are relatively new to me. One which is extremely new to me and another that is a brand that I've been trying to get a hold of forever but haven't. The aforementioned is called Ava Cosmetics and the latter mentioned is Beauty UK. So I've decided that I was going to go ahead, check out both companies' sites and their products and select that I absolutely die for.
Again, I'll list the product names since they were scaled down and thus the text might be bit blurred. If you click on the product names, you'll see them at a bigger size. From left to right and top to bottom, the products are are:
On a side note, I've changed and added a few things to the blog. The side pages are all done save for the Blogroll and the abouts for both the blog and myself need to be (re)written. Any of the other links can be clicked and accessed. I'm open to button swapping and if you wish to swap with me, feel free to click here, or click the link up above that says Button Swap. I'm also accepting advertisements and sponsorships, however, if you want more information on that, email me here and we'll discuss things.
Finally, Google Reader/Google Connect is supposed to be shutting down by the end of this month/July 1st, because of this...I recommend anyone interested in continuing to read this blog without missing a post, follow me on Bloglovin' by clicking right here, or clicking the link down underneath my signature.
And this marks the end of this post! Thanks for chilling with and reading my wishlist. Also, I hope that with that talk about Photography and art got you wondering a bit more about me. Nevertheless.
What's on your wishlist? Did you enjoy this wishlist of mine and if so, what're some of your favourites on list?
Until next time, lovies. And remember, you're all lovely and I love you like I love seaweed wraps. ♥

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.)
I don't know how many of my reader know this, but in 19 days, I will be 20 years old. Yes, I'll officially be one step closer to 21 and I'll have to change everything from 19 to 20. I feel amazing about this. This is one of the few birthdays that I've just been so excited for my birthday to come.
