Er. .2 Months?

I've done a two month hiatus, it was completely unintentional but I just totally forgot about this blog. >__<' I had so much going on in May with government testing, last minute class projects, and getting freaked out about my Junior year schedule. Last month I was at my dad's and spent a week at the beach. It seems that this month I'll have nothing to do but workout~ 

Since April I've been working out five days a week for a hour to a hour and thirty minutes. I've gone on total health fit and I just don't understand how I lived before! Exercising is really relaxing and makes me feel so much better! Since my last doctor visit I've lost around 25 pounds which is friggin' amazing if I do say myself~ I only need to loose like five million more. 

TT ___ TT 

I can only see most of the weight loss in my legs, wrists, face, and in my lower back. It amazes me how quick I've lost the weight. I just hope I can keep at it! 

I might have mentioned this before, but I have tumblr (cranberrytie.tumblr.com) that I use pretty much religiously so if y'all have one you should follow me~ If you please~ 

Before working out: 

After a month and half of working out:

Anyway~ Anyone else dealing with starting a healthy lifestyle or trying to loose weight? Any tricks of the trade? 

Fashion Inspiration / Things I Need~

I've recently acquired a tumblr (cranberrytie.tumblr.com) and it is basically the best thing since fried rice. I mean, I can scroll forever and always find something to be entertained by. Or even ship a new couple (Korra + Bolin = Forever~~) and get inspired by the various styles on tumblr. I follow a lot of lolitas, some gyarus, and girls who just have a cute sense of style. They've inspired me to not only find a new style but wear what I want to wear no matter what anyone says.

Back to the main topic: here are a few images / things that have really inspired me~ ^_^

Hellraiser Loafers.. they are so friggin' awesome. I would die to have a pair but they around $195. Which is, in my opinion, ridiculously expensive. 

Creepers are so cute~ They aren't too bad price wise, but I can only seem to find them in a online shop based in the UK called mrshoes. Anyone know of any other shops? 

I'm really starting to get into this weird / punkish style. Its out there, but not so much that I would feel uncomfortable wearing it. ~ 

I'm dying my hair this general color. Its going to be more pastel and little bit ashy. I have to dye it again, though, to get the color I really want. 

Those are the main pictures that have been inspiring me~ I would die for a pair of creepers though. T~T

Sigh~ If you'd like to see lolita/gyaru/shipping posts you should follow my tumblr. ^_^

Laziness Over 9000

ヽ（・＿・；)ノ
I haven't post since last month, which feels like forever ago. I have an excuse though!~ It's nearing the end of the school year and I have been fervently working on last minute assignments given out by my teachers. Which is annoying as poo! D; Next week I take a bunch of standardized test, but after that I'm pretty much done with school. Though I have to get my schedule ready for my Junior year!
Wah~ 
I'm so nervous for the coming year! D: I'm closer to going to college and being all grown up.  ヾ(´A｀)ノﾟ  ~ 
I plan for this summer to be super amazing, though! I'm going to spend my time working out, helping my mom, and going to the lake with my friends. 


Wutwut ∩( ・ω・)∩ ~ Partyyy~ 

I've seriously been obsessed with Peach by IU, it is so beautiful and just.. amazing~ It makes me all flowerly 'n girly feeling. If that makes any sense~? >____>" 
Ehem, anyway. o /// o 
Since I've started at the gym I've lost about five to ten pounds which is friggin' awesome. I love to work out now, though my busy school schedule caused me, for the past week, to not be able to work out.
TT~TT
Oh well~ Summer will be here soon.


  
I'm going to be getting new circle lenses soon called Girly Chip Latte~ Hopefully I can do a review.
^__^

Forever Alone / Gym

T ___ T 

Korean dramas, why do you make me feel so forever alone? *sigh*

I've recently gotten into Love Rain (the first two episodes are a little eh. .) because it has my dear Jang Geun Suk. I've loved him since I watched Mary Stayed Out All Night. He is one my favorite actors~ I can only hope I start to like Love Rain more. It seems to be a hit with Neitzens. But, so was City Hunter, Secret Garden, and Boys Over Flowers which I didn't particularly like. To be honest, I really can't stand Boys Over Flowers or Secret Garden. No offense to the lovers of the show~ I just couldn't get into them. Though I believe Min Ho extremely smexy. e _ e <3 

Besides watching Korean dramas, I've started going to the gym.

T____T

I rather like it, surprisingly. There isn't a lot of guys there(which is nice, seeing as I thought many of the douches at school went there) and its mostly older people. I go with my best friend for at least two hours a day each week day. Hopefully I can lose some weight before I go to the beach in June~ 

Last week when I was off for Spring Break I spent my time.. wisely..

xD 

And by wisely I mean: I took random pictures of myself in the middle of the night.

I know, I am out of control. 

I was rather proud of make up that I did. I was inspired by some gyaru images I found on tumblr. 

I had to use my iPhone and webcam to take pictures, so they are of crappy quality~ 

>__<;;;

Do I look like a typical tumblr chick? :D 

No? . .okay u __ u ~

High Heel Wearing EXO-K Members~

S.M. Entertainment finally, after about fifty million teasers, had an their debut music video and song for EXO-K. They are supposed to be an super-amazing-jaw-dropping boy band. I was really excited about them, mainly because they seemed awesome in the teasers and had fancy camera workings.. 

The video, though, is a bit, well..odd. I mean, in the beginning I thought I was playing a RPG or watching a parody of Avatar the Last Airbender. >__>" Plus the fact that the introduction plays no part in the story of the music video.. .if there is a story. I think one of they guys sign is a unicorn? They start playing with elements that shoot out of their hands.. and then they are apparating.. and are dancing monks.

I dunno, man.

I just don't know. x ___ x

I like it, I mean, I'm not bashing them but I'm just kind of iffy. The video wasn't what I expected.. It was a bit of a let down. 

*sigh* 

..

HEY LOOK SHOES~

Look at these smexy things~ o __ o <3 

I got them from Forever 21 (the shop I am forever in love with) for about thirty dollars for my dad's wedding. They arrived too late to wear to the wedding, but I'm just happy to have them~ I think they are about six inches high.. which is the highest shoe I've ever worn xD 

Despite the fact I've fallen twice wearing them, I love these shoes!~ They fit perfectly and make my legs all BAM. c: 

Too bad I don't have anywhere to wear them. T~T 

Anyway~ I hope everyone has a happy Easter weekend c: ~! 

D.C. & Marriage

I went to Washington D.C. this past weekend for my dad's wedding and was flabbergasted by how much of a country bumpkin I am. We had to ride the metro to go look at the Washington Monument and it freakin' scared the crap out of me! You had to get on escalator that practically entered the depths of hell, at horrible angle to get to the station.The place was like a mix of Portal and Fall Out. I've road the subway before but the metro still freaked me out! But the people in D.C. are nicer than I expected them to be! We arrived safely to the monuments despite me freaking out. xD

Washington Monument

WW2 Memorial 

My dad's wedding, the main purpose of the journey to D.C., was really small and was between him and his long term boyfriend Shane. It is annoying that we had to travel from our states (me, my brother, and my mom from West Virginia, they from North Carolina) because it isn't considered "legal" in those states. >__>" I was glad to see my father so happy with someone he loved.

My dad is the bald one~ <3

At the reception~ <3

I had a lot of fun in D.C. and was glad to witness my dad's wedding~ Even though all the walking in flip flops hurt my feet xD I hope I can go back again! Hopefully next time I will be able to go shopping~ 

I'm now on my Spring Break so I get to be laaaaazy~ 

Derpy Spring Time~

(o;TωT)o
I haven't posted in like fifty years~ Which isn't very good, seeing as I want to have a popular blog 'n what not. I just get so busy with school work.
 Mostly because of Algebra II. （＞д＜）
I dislike math intensely, and I happen to be horrible at it. I've been stressed with schoolwork and the oh-so important state tests. >___<
Anyway, enough with excuses and complaints! I'll update y'all with what I've been up to.

I've mostly been hanging out with my best friend, Crista, when I get free time. I haven't been dieting much, or working out. Though with this nice weather I'm probably going to start being more active.

I got some spring clothes tooooo~ I bought a crap load of chiffon tops(like the top I'm wearing in the picture above) and they are soooo comfy.  Me gusta~~ I haven't been able to find any shoes I like yet, though.

I also ordered Forest Blue circle lenses, but one of them happen to be messed up so I had to get a new one.~_~ 

I got some MAC makeup too, that I will review or show you guys next time! 

This will probably be me fan girling about BigBang's new song 'Blue'. .so you might just want to skip over.
Let the squealing begin! >:D

HOLY. CHEESESTICKS.
They are back <3 I believe they are coming by storm, and stronger than ever. I read recently on allkpop about how they were on the brink of breaking up. That would probably be as heart wrenching as when DBSK broke up. <///3 Though, the scandals of G Dragon and Daesung allowed them to come together. Which makes me happy to see them working together~

Lets get to the video and song shall we?

When did Seungri get so grown up? e 3 e He is supposed to be sweet Seungri. They all look so much older!  And quite smexy~ o _ o <3 And its great to see Daesung again. Anyway, this song is. .really achey? I loved it as soon as I heard it, definitely going to be an all kill :3

I just hope I can get their new mini albummmm~ <3

Valentine Sickness Revealed!

HELLLOOOOOOOOOO~

It has been a few days hasn't it? Well, I've been sick and busy the last few days. Yay for the flu and the annoying lot of Algebra 2 homework~Which are the main reasons I have been too tired to post. I seemed to miss some major holiday.. y'know Valentine's Day.

*insert typical forever alone joke here* Basically, I heard "forever alone" throughout my high school and posted on Facebook. And, yeah, I was one of them. Who doesn't get caught up in the whole shabang of having a "special someone" to share the day with. I got over it once I went shopping. Wanna see my new bag and kicks?

BAM. ART. xD

The shoes are from Aldo and I got them for around fifty dollars, though they were originally seventy. I've yet to wear them because I hate to have to get them comfortable. Its such a pain for the feet. 

The bag is Koret and originally $119, and I got it for thirty. It is my new obsession, and goes with everything!

Oh, and guess who will be coming back? BIGBANG! :D I so friggin' excited <3 And when did Seungri get so hot? Unf. Feb.29th is when their new mini album come out, and I'm so excited. I also heard they might be coming to North America with their world tour! I have to go! <3 What are y'all's favorite band, being kpop or any other types, that gets you excited? 

Ehem. .excuse my fan girl moment xD 

Extensions, bro.

Finnaaaallllllyyyyyy~ I got my hair colored to my extensions. I was hoping once I would put them on and BAM I would become a super model. 

. .

It didn't work out too well. ~_~ In fact, when I had my hair straightened you could clearly tell from my real hair and my extensions. Which pissed me offffffff. But, after taking forever to stylize it came out like this:

I feel like friggin' Ariel. Grow me some fins and I'll be swimmin' down to Atlantis xD 

*cough* >.>" Anywho, I really like them curled so now I can be like: bitch please, *hair flip*

The reason, by the way, I haven't been posting is because of homework. I just finished a huge project for history class and hopefully I will be posting more regularly~! I just ordered some circle lenses and eye lashes so I shall show y'all that whenever they come in. :D 

Till next time~  

The Fault in Our Stars~!

This book is simply amazing. If you have read anything by John Green, then you won't be disappointed by this book. I first found out about John Green on YouTube where he does vlogs with his brother Hank Green(the name of the channel being vlogbrothers). They are both adorably nerdy~! And John's voice could totally narrate my life story <3

Anyway, back to the book; The Fault in Our Stars is about Hazel, a young woman who has cancer, and the boy she meets at the Cancer Support Group, Augustus Waters. That is, of course, a very vague description mostly because if I say much it will ruin the magic of the story. The wittiness of not only the writer, but his characters, makes the book enjoyable. It makes you think, become attached, and feel for these characters at a whole new level. I can only simply say how much I love this book.
You can listen to the first two chapters here:

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

<3 

By the end of the book you will: fall in love, get angry, cry, and laugh. A perfect combination for a great book. Once you finish you will want to reread it again and again~! 

Basically, I rate this book a 10/10 <3 <3 

Naked Palette ~

Why, hello there~ :D
I just recently got Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 and thought I'd share what it looks like and do a review on it~! I'm new at this so the review might not be very. .erm, professional? xD
Anywaaay. .
o _ o I friggin' love these eyeshadows <3
They are really creamy and verrrryyy shiny! :D
I had to use my iPhone to take photos. .so, they may be a bit crappy.

Virgin and Sin are two of my favorites~ 

Half Baked is amazingly shiny~

From the left is Half Baked, Smog, and Darkhorse ~ 

I got the palette at Sephora for around $48 dollars. While the eyeshadows do come off easily, or might because of my oily skin, I still love 'em. I usually mix them up with the winter shadows I got from MAC and they stay on pretty well~ 

If you are need of some new eyeshadows, I recommend this palette! ~

I give it a 8/10~ Mostly for the great color and shine effect. 

Reviews?

I have an ideaaaa~ :D

I was thinking that I would have certain days to review things. Since this year is supposed to be a huge year for kpop, and so many groups are coming back(like BigBang <3 ) along with debuting, I thought I would do a review of a music video/mini-album/album every Wednesday. On Fridays I could talk about new dramas. Not only Korean but Japanese and Taiwanese~ And Sundays can be review of recently bought things? ; _ ; ?

Maybe even do book reviews?

A lot of people already do this, but I'm hoping to give my own twist to it! ^^

What do y'all think? D;

;D

/cough )

I realize that I said I would post every few days, but that didn't work out to well.
I guess I will catch y'all up:

• I'm now sixteen~
• I'm swamped with homework. 
• I got hair extensions :D
• And I bought new Circle Lenses, BB Cream, and eyelashes!
• A review for my recently bought things will be happening SOON~

Here is a picture of my new hair:

I look like a scene kid xD And my hair is clearly visible from the extensions! I'm getting them fixed soon! xD

SNOW ^_^!

Not to be lame or anything but I'm so excited for snow. I mean, its pretty much the only thing that keeps me going during school. .well, besides kpop and my friends. I thought I would snap a picture to share, seeing as everyone on Facebook was bitching about people posting pictures of snow:

Ooo~ T-ara also released Lovey-Dovey, the 'drama version', which was pretty much continued from where Cry Cry left off. I thought it was pretty good, though Jiyeon's acting was a bit odd. Oh well, all in all, I liked the MV! And it met up to my expectations unlike SNSD's comeback and "amazing" music video. -_-; Not hating, by the way, I think all kpop fans should stick together! You can watch the MV here:

I have to go back to school tomorrow, but if the snow keeps up I won't have to! OH YEAH. ~~
Hope everyone's day went well! :D 

The First Day

I was getting discouraged about the whole "making a blog that people stalk  follow" but then I realized that I haven't had one for that long, so I should keep at it. I have a tendency to quit things halfway through once I get bored, but hopefully I will stop doing that! 

Anywhooooooo, it is the first day of the new year! Though there doesn't seem much of a change. -__- ! 

I'll be sixteen in a two weeks or so, which I guess is going to be exciting. It'll probably go the same as Christmas and New Years did, like it didn't happen. Each year holidays seem to get less, and less exciting. The part of growing up, I guess. Though I certainly don't like it.  

The whole "lose weight" goal I was going for certainly won't start till tomorrow, mainly because my mom made peanut butter fudge. So yummy~ 

Nothing really exciting is happening right now, but I will keep at my goals. 

I hope~ xD
