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.
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.
The first couple steps of the Darkened Poison documented through Instagram.
The final teaser of Darkened Poison.
♦ R U L E S — Please do not remove any of the credits within the layout. There are only two and I would really and truly like them to remain intact. I wouldn’t recommend too much customisation to be done to the layout overall unless you really know what you’re doing, however, if you are messing with the code and customising it, you still keep the credits intact. When you use this layout, you need to make sure that your comments are set to a Pop-Up Window rather than Embedded or anything else. You can do this by doing the following: Head over to settings section of your blog. → Select posts & comments. → Scroll down to the comments section. → Select the pop-up window option from the drop down menu under Comment Location. I also want to point that as true with DRIFTER, this layout looks best with a minimal amount of posts. I recommend making no more than 2 or 3 posts appear a page.
♦ I M A G E S — You can click on the each of the pictures in the Instagram teaser strip to go to the Instagram picture page or you can click here: one, two, and three. To view the full image preview, you can click here.
♦ P R E V I E W — Live preview here.
♦ C O D E S — To grab the code, you can get from either Blogskins or Pastebin. I recommend Blogskins, especially if you’re a member of Blogskins (then you should go over to the site and show it a little love by favouriting it/rating five stars.)
♦ N O T E S — Truth be told, from the beginning up until the end of creating this layout, I was constantly on the fence about whether or not I would like it or not. It also became evident when I was recording the coding video because it did end up taking me so long to completely code the layout, but after all things were said and done, I found myself enjoy the layout a lot more than I assumed I would. I appreciate a bit more because dark layouts are hard to make look somewhat decent, let alone good, and even if I didn’t get the perfection I was aiming for due to my rustiness in terms of creating darker layouts, I did fancy the fact that I managed to make all the colours meld well together. And despite me being a picky arse, it does look pretty good.
Oh snap! I’ve opened commissions, in case you haven’t noticed by the little link in the navigation bar. I won’t spend too much time chatting about it here because if you click the commissions link, you can easily find out more information about how commissioning me works.
Long story short though, I am limited to Blogger Classic layouts,Tumblr Theme layouts, and on occasion, Website Templates because those are what I feel most comfortable with and those are my forte. The base price for all the things you commission me for are listed in the commissions section, however, the price will increase depending on how much information is added (not by much, but still will increase b anywhere from 2-3$). Now, I’m not expecting commissions out the wazoo because I am aware at how artists community is, let alone how the web design/layout creator community is, and to most people I’m stil relatively unknown in my craft. That being said, I’m opening it for a just in case type of scenario.
So if you ever want a customised layout and don’t mind forking out no more than 25$, then you could totally commission me. It’ll remain open for the time being. Also, I can’t stress this enough, but if for any reason I cannot complete a commission of yours, I will refund your money immediately and explain to you privately why I cannot complete your commission.
That was a bit of typing and reorganising and more typing, but I do hope that everything (especially the small information about commissioning me) is explained in a manner that is simple for you to understand. If there isn’t feel free to drop a comment down below or in the tagboard with your questions. Until next time, darlings! ❤

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.)
