Waiting for June
Lifestyle and Daily Shenanigans with a dash of Nerd Appreciation thrown in.

A back-to-back posting spree? I know. Shocking. What it really is was that I had posts planned out in my head while I was coding the blog’s new layout and so it was a lot easier to just jump right into them and get them done as soon as the layout was done and I was back in the swing of things.

This time around, I decided to do something I haven’t done in a while, Blog Tags. Basically, there are times when I need filler posts on my blog that aren’t wishlist post or posts that I’ll look back on and regret. That’s where the blog tags come in. I find that they’re a bit quirky and fun and I do fancy doing the ones I stumble upon. Since it’s been a while since I’ve done when I was reading through the blogs I follow and saw these two, I was immediately enthralled.

Today’s tags are obviously The Beauty Tag found on Life of Verity and The Blogger Made Me Buy It Tag found on Twenty Something Beauty (which I totally titled wrong in the title image, but shhhh). I hope they’re fun little reads and you find out more about how I buy the things I buy and why I buy them. I tag everyone. So if you do it or have done it, drop your links in the comments.

And don’t forget to read to the end and check a small little advertisement that will definitely intrigue you health nuts and box lovers.

Wheee~! Hello, everyone. It’s been over a week and I’m sorry, but it’s been a long week and this post should have been out earlier, but I was just way too bloody knackered to properly get it done plus I was fighting myself on hether or not I should post it because there is a part of the post that is missing. Nonetheless, I decided to post it; so here we go.

I come back bringing a freebie Blogger Classic Template, information about me opening the option of commissions, and a new layout!

Speaking of the new layout, as you can see...I’ve gone back to my roots and made this a darker layout. It’s been quite some time since I’ve had a darker layout and since this freebie is a darker theme, I decided that I would take this layout and make it darker. Honestly, I love it more than 95% of the lighter layouts I’ve had for this blog, but of course, knowing me it won’t last long.

Back to this post. Now, as obvious as it is, this is a freebies post and yes, you can use it as much as you like. However, please keep in mind that in order to use it on your Blogspot, you need have your templates reverted back to Classic Templates, which can be done by going to the template section of your blog, scrolling down to and selecting “Revert to Classic Template”. Also note that one of the major part of this process post is missing. I’ve been pretty lazy and exhausted lately with all the coding I have beeen doing that I didn’t get to edit down the coding video (which was 3 hours and some minutes in total before I cut it down), but I’ll come back and edit the post when it’s done and uploaded. Aside from that. Hope you enjoy.

This post's title image are screencaps from each video that I simply adored.

So today’s post is yet another short one and another wishlist, at that. This time, the focus point of this wishlist is Tokyo Milk. Tokyo Milk is slowly, but surely, becoming one of those brands that I consider to be a lovely gem and desperately want to purchase as much as I can from them. Their products are quirky and give me the whole vintage vibe, which is such a huge bonus for me since I’m completely here for all things quirky and vintage.

Honestly speaking, looking over Tokyo Milk’s website was a journey for me (as it normally is) and I found myself having to berate myself some to prevent the possibility of me picking more than six products to include in this wishlist post (which I ended up doing, but only one more than the six I intended). I was genuinely shocked, and abruptly reminded just how much I just wish to roll around in all of their products happily. Alas, I cannot as I am not made out of money at all...unfortunately.

That being said, I finally narrowed down my wishlist to the six products you see here. Its a mix of things and I’m really excited to talk about it with you lot. So head on pass the jump and check out why I chose what I did.

Hello, darlings! I’m back with another post and this time, it’s another Gameventure post. Lately, I’ve been really deep in my gamer feelings again and I must admit, it’s rather lovely. So do expect a lot more game related posts to pop up in the near future. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet and focus on this post.

This post will signify the start of the Gameventure category being broken down into subcategories and the start of the First Impressions subcategory. As its name states, all pots under this subcategory will be primarily first impressions. There will be no bleed over even I have already gotten deeper into the game prior to the first impressions post. Anything said in these posts will be based upon the thought process I had when I first got and encountered the game in question.

That being said, in this post, I’ll be giving my first impression of a game called Don’t Starve by the company Klei Entertainment (pronounced as “clay”). This post took a bit longer to get out due to the fact that I had to edit the video footage of my first attempt at the game. Head on past the jump to get to the good stuff and find out where you can purchase and join in on the fun that is Don’t Starve.
Note: This post contains products that I purchased for my own particular enjoyment and was not provided to me by the company or its creator. That being said, all opinions in this post reflect my own personal opinions and is not influenced by the idea of monetary or popularity compensation in any sense of the word. Seeing as this is a First Impressions review, I recommend that you take this with a grain of salt as this is not a final impression review.

A few of the products I’m currently lusting after from Beauty-Steals and Blipster Magic.

Yo! It’s interesting that I’m posting on a consistent basis again when that really wasn’t my intention at all. Not complaining though, I’m enjoying it thoroughly. The post of this post really was to give me a break from all the typing, information, and overwhelming prattle that I spew out constantly in my posts so that I don’t run myself dry. So what I decided to do was actually delve deep into the categories of the blog and start back up on a category that I created initially to use as a one-time thing and use it more than the one time it was used for.

So here it is. Another wishlist post. The wishlist post that is going to revive the category that was started and then left behind of June 5th of last year. This wishlist post is comprised of two online stores that I found and recently fell in love with, Beauty-Steals and Blipster Magic. Beauty Steals is a store taglined with “A shopaholics worst nightmare.” and is an online store dedicated to providing cosmetics, jewellry, and accessories at a low, affordable price. Blipster Magic is a store dedicated to organic and homemade overall body care products. From hair sprays to soaps to body butters, most of the products on Blipster Magic are made from organic and natural ingredients unless stated otherwise. The products are freshly handmade, so they take a bit of time to reach you.

I completely recommend you lot checking out both stores and let me tell you how difficult it was trying to pick only four products from each site to talk about in this post. Sigh.

#VioletVoxBox: Snippets of what the Violet Vox Box was all about. // full resolution.

Today is a post that I’m uber excited about doing. It’s been quite some time since I’ve done a beauty post (roughly four months give or take) and I’ve been itching to do a proper one for a bit. Another reason I’m super excited about this post is because it’s on my first Infuenster box. Truth be told, I’m not as active as I wish to be on the site, so it was really a shock to even be notified that I had done enough to even get a box to begin with.

I’ve had this box for quite some time, but I was on one of my breaks from blogging where I had absolutely no motivation to do anything but watching shows, movies, drink tea, read, and sleep. I almost got out of my funk just to type up something about this box, but I felt that it would feel too forced and opted to wait it out. Now that I’m out of my funk and back to blogging, I can finally have a chat with you lot about it.

I have tried everything save for the Deep Cleaning Clay Mask because I’m a very frequent user of Montagne Jeunesse and can give a review without using that mask and mostly because I wanted to save it. I also didn’t use the Dry Shampoo because I currently have really short natural hair so it would be a tad pointless. This post is a little low on images and I’m so sorry for that, my old memory card for my camera is bloody broken, so a lot of the pictures I took are irretrievable. (Cry for my memory card.)

Note: This post contains products that were sent to me through the Influenster Program. That being said, the opinions in this post are not influenced in way, shape, or manner by monetary or influence of any kind. These opinions are my own and whatever is said here reflects on me, as a person, and my personal likes and dislikes. In some instances, there will be bits of profanity.

Yooooooooooo!! I mean, ahem, why hello there. So let’s just get this out of the way, I’m really, really excited about this post and I’m trying deperately hard to not let my hyperness andd excitement mess with this post. That being said, do you know how bloody long I’ve been waiting to do this post? Three and some weeks ago when I first started the Yearlies series fo 2013. Seriously, it took all of me to not say fuck it and mess up the order I had in mind for how this would work.

Now that I don’t have to hide my excitement. Let me start off by saying that I am an avid anime watcher. If you read my previous post, I made mentions/hinted at it. However, let me explain again. Much like gaming, anime has been a part of my life since I was a child so I hold anime on the same pedestal I do gaming, web design, and technology.

Anyway, while I do love anime and am an extremely avid watcher, 2013 anime fell a bit short to me. As it is I’m very, very picky with what I watch (is it becoming clear why anime came after gaming yet?) and I felt that 2013 had nothing but really predictable releases. You either had post-apocalyptic/dystopian, cutesy, or overly shoujo-esque type anime. While I do love post-apocalyptic/dystopian anime, after a while it gets rather boring and I’ve never been one to properly enjoy cutesy/shoujo anything (it’s a rarity). Now that’s not to say that all of the anime in 2013 fell into these categories, but there just was very few series that engaged me as much as it could have.

Despite that, I’ve managed to choose 3 of the many I watched in 2013 that just remind me of why anime is probably one of my favourite past-times: Attack on Titan, Kill La Kill, and Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle.
