Personal/Journal Update ~

This is more of a personal post, read if you wish :)

School: Summer is here!! I am finally done with school... well kind of.. I'm taking an online class and it's really a bummer. I wish I didn't have to worry about it, but it's the only way I can graduate early in December. That's also another scary subject... graduating. It's such a big step in life and I will actually feel like a real grown up. I'm just so excited that I will be walking across the stage to receive my diploma with James. Well, probably not at the exact same time, but you get the point. It's just so exciting that we are taking this huge step together, it gives me butterflies.

Beauty: I've been breaking out a lot lately. I'm not sure what the problem is and it makes me really sad. I haven't changed much of anything in my daily routine/chores, my eating habits, or lifestyle. I know I should be taking better care of my skin so I need to look into some products that will help my skin. I think tomorrow I will be doing some face masks, just to relax a bit and to treat myself to a nice facial cleaning. I feel like I need to do this type of thing more often, at least once a month.. I'm going to mark it in my calendar to start it, hehe. Speaking of taking better care of my skin, I really want to try out LUSH cosmetics. I'm a bit intimidated by the store because the scent is so strong and my nose is very sensitive. I am so intrigued by their bath bombs and I want to test out their products to see what the hype is all about. If I can manage it, I might do a personal review for the products that I try. If you guys remember a while back I purchased some lotion from The Body Shop and I've been meaning to try their skin care products also. Ah, so many things I want to try ... but not enough money *sigh*

Home: We moved into a new apartment in February. I didn't get to update my blog that much but if you're interested in seeing what our apartment looks like, I created a playlist on YouTube of some of our moving process. Click to watch the playlist.

Summer Plans: I'm going on vacation to visit my parents and my hometown in a few weeks. I'm very excited as I get to meet one of my stream viewers, who happens to be James' brother's girlfriend. I'm also going to see Tycho live for the first time ever! The last time I tried to see him, I had to leave before he got on stage, it was really sad. My friend is also taking me to see Fall Out Boy, I'm not particularly a fan, but I don't dislike them either. I agreed to go because I thought it would be fun and I get to hang out with a very good friend. I also can't wait to have my mom's home cooking and just some doing and seeing some things that I can't do where I live now. It's definitely going to be a treat, especially getting to go to the beach. There's also going to be a mini-family reunion. I say mini because my mom's side of the family usually visits for the 4th of July and this is the first time in many many years that I get to see them and all of my little cousins that aren't that little anymore.

I'm going to try to capture as many moments as possible during my summer break. I've been lacking on taking pictures mostly because I want to take the best pictures, which isn't always great because phone quality. I'll try my best not just more content for you, but I love keeping those memories.
