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.
Hello fellow earthlings. I apologize for the lack of posting, but I've been busy typing up reviews and setting up scheduled posts for the blog so no one ever get tired of the blog and annoyed with always having to wait around. Also, I like to do these July Journaling posts when there are a couple days to do as some of the prompts have rather short answers. Again, if you'd like to catch up on all the posts I've done for this challenge, feel free to do so.
Anyway, the title of this post comes from two part song by Turn Off Your Television with the same name, which I totallyrecommend you listen to. Shockingly enough, I don't have much of a lead into this post so, this isn't as long as it normally is. Enjoy the post or feel free to skip it and wait it out.
Day Eleven: Favourite outfit
Honestly, I'm not one of those people who fancies clothing as much as others. I don't actually have a favourite outfit because anything I wear is chosen because I feel comfortable in it andd I personally enjoy it. That being said, I don't have a favourite outfit just because...whatever.
Day Twelve: Grateful
You know what, I'll pass on this day too. For completely personal reasons. I may come back to it, but for right now...I'm going to pass on it.
Day Thirteen: Nature
I // II
I apologize for the horrible quality, these were taking with my iPhone in the midst of the stormy weather we've been having lately.

Day Fourteen: Dream Job
My dream job is one of two things: I would love to work as a part of Marvel. I'm a comic book nerd and in the same breath, I fully love Marvel. So obviously being the Marvel kid I am, I would love to work with them. Especially since I grew up with them and being completely enthralled by almost everything I read and saw and ugh, yes. Also, don't get me wrong, I love DC as well, but Marvel is my number one and DC follows extremely close behind. Another dream job of mine would be to own an art company/agency. I would love to grab a group of my mates and buy out a slightly large space and turn it into this bubble of creation and artistic beauty and everything right in my mind. I don't want my mates to like everything because that's impossible, but I would fancy having such a large amount of variations in styles of the arts lingering around. Maybe it would grow into something bigger, but even if it doesn't and ends up being an office space for my mates and I, I think it would be lovely and ugh, I would absolutely adore doing something like that. In fact, that's my major dream job. It's at the top of my list, but it' also going to be the hardest to achieve.
Day Fifteen: Inspiration
Funnily enough, I'm one of those people who gets inspiration from anything, really. I think that inspiration can be found through anything and at any point in time. Depending on what it is, there are specific things I tend to turn to when it comes to inspiration. However, if we're talking about inspirations in the sense of people, some of my inspirations are people like Dr. Seuss, Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King, Kurt Cobain, Langston Hughes, et cetera. There's an eclectic taste when it comes to people I'm inspired by much like anything else.
Day Sixteen: Home
“Home is where you can say anything you please, because nobody pays any attention to you anyway.” ~ Joe Moore
I don't really consider anywhere my home since i haven't had the proper experience of what I feel a home is. The closest thing I have to home is New York. I think and hope that one I'll find some place where I'll settle down and eend up finding it such a blissful place to be that I'll call it home and never have to second guess it. Until that time, I suppose I'm just a wanderer settling uncomfortable until I find that sense of comfort and contentment.
“Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.”
And that's it, darlings. This post is pretty much a filler as I go through and type a couple reviews for the blog including more e.l.f cosmetis reviews as well as a review for Nicka K (or NK) products, some movie, book, game, and restaurant reviews. Expect this blog to be up and running more than it has been in a very, very long time. So hopefully everything goes smoothly.

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.
The little spots on the internet that I read to pass time.

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.)
