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.
Before you proceed reading, please note that this is a scheduled post. Although this post is scheduled, this is not to say that this post is free of any mistakes be it grammatical, punctuational, or spelling and it is currently set to be posted on July 10, 2013 at 11:45PM.
Hey everyone! Another day, another blog post. I skipped yesterday because honestly, I was too tired to do anything. I was up for 20 hours before I fell asleep and I only managed two hours before I was up again. Then I just got really sluggish and bleh and I just lacked a whole lot of motivation. So, my apologies for that.
Today's post is a two-in-one post. The first half of this post is going to be a review that I've been swearing and meaning to do for months on end and that is a review of Fall Out Boy's latest album, Save Rock and Roll, which happens to be one of my most played albums in iTunes. In actuality, it not a complete review as much as it's an overview for a complete review to come. As for the second half, I'll be continuing what I started in my previous post and doing both days nine and ten from the July Journaling Challenge. To track my progress of this challenge as the month of July comes and goes, feel free to use this tag.

I used the songs Alone Together, Young Volcanoes, Miss Missing You, Just One Yesterday (feat. Foxes), Death Valley, and Rat a Tat (feat. Courtney Love) as the background repeated to fill out the background.

Favourite thing about winter would have to be the warm drinks and the Eggnog. Who doesn't bloody love eggnog? It's too lovely and much more amazing when homemade.
And there's nothing like a cup of tea, coffee, or hot cocoa with marshmellows and being tucked away under warm blankets (and maybe with a close mate or your partner). It's just the best.
Day Ten: Dream Travel Destination
I openly admit that I have a terrible case of unfulfilled wanderlust and have various dream travel destinations. So I can't say there's only one, but I would love to visit Norway, England, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Hawaii, Alaska, Iceland, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Finland, Ireland, Wales, etcetera.
I pretty much want to travel the world and do so happily.
And here's where I end this post. The actual full review for Save Rock and Roll will be posted at a later date because I'm weird in the manner that when it comes to album reviews, I prefer doing them in two parts so people can get an overview of what's to come and then the actual review. Make sense?

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.)
