Beautify

  I’m a huge fan of Japanese-brand cosmetics, and these are among the few that I purchased. They’re inexpensive, and they work so well! I noticed that the makeup is so light, it feels like I’m not wearing anything. Plus, the humidity here has done my skin wonders. I’m debating whether I should do a giveaway… … Continue Reading

Laguna Beach

These are a few shots from a bridal shoot I did a few days before I left for Japan. It was an overcast day, but I think the set came out nicely. I didn’t realize there were so many cute, artsy spots in Laguna Beach – I really had a great time with this one. … Continue Reading

Osaka/Kyoto/Nara

The denim jacket is from a shopping mall that is 10 minutes away from where I am staying. So convenient. Stay tuned … Continue Reading

These are a few photos from my first few days in Japan. A bit overcast and some rain, but it’s beautiful. I can’t get enough of the food here! Panda cream puffs and bear-shaped donuts – gotta love it. I’ve also been doing some shopping and I love how clothes are so cheap here. I’ll … Continue Reading

Take off

I can hardly contain my excitement as I type this blog post. In a little over 24 hours, I will finally be in Japan! I used to visit every summer when I was a girl, but this will be my first time returning in 7 years. I’m really looking forward to reuniting with old friends, seeing … Continue Reading

Shine

I had my hair color touched up and & styled a few days ago by a friend that goes to Toni & Guy.  So happy with the results! Plus, the service was great, and I enjoyed observing the talented students at work. I definitely wouldn’t mind going back again. Thank you<3
