The first giveaway!

Hooray for giveaways! After God knows how many years of blogging (must be like 8 or 9, if you count my first blog ever), I’m finally hosting a giveaway. But enough chit-chat, let’s get to our fabulous prizes (sorry, but you only get to choose 1 of the 3):

• 3-months of advertising on my blog
• a Victoria’s secret beauty rush lip gloss
• a custom character like lambie or kitty

Yeah, I know, the prizes aren’t really that fabulous, but the thing is, everyone can be a winner. No, seriously, all you have to do is the following:

• Be a user tester for the site I’ve been working on¹ for my summer internship.

Seriously, isn’t that easy? Well, there are a couple more things you need to do (which I’ll disclose in the welcome email), but if you’re interested, just leave a comment saying so, and I’ll send you a email with further instructions. Once I see that you’ve completed the requirements, I’ll send out the prize of your choice. Whether you’re doing this because of the prizes or because you just love me like that, I’d really appreciate it either way

What’s in my purse?

Call me weird/stalkerish/nosy, but I love looking at pictures of what’s in people’s purses. So why not show what’s in mine?

It used to be pretty empty until I bought my Lily Pullitzer agenda, but since then, it’s now a decent weight, and can double as a defense weapon if needed.

Everything in my purse is pretty standard for a girl, nothing special, except for my lucky pink hippo. Actually, I’m not even sure if it’s lucky, but I’d like to think that it is. And yes, as much as I love makeup, I don’t carry around a makeup bag. I can’t see myself re-applying anything except lip gloss when I’m out anyways.

So what are in your purses? I’d love to see some pictures!

New layout & summer reflections

I don’t know if any of you noticed, but for a while I kept updating my Twitter saying I’m working on a new layout, but I lied. I didn’t really start working on a new layout until yesterday, and I FINALLY (can’t stress this enough) finished it. I had the biggest design block ever, so I’m glad to have come up with this, and in such a short period of time. I must have scrapped at least 5 designs before I ended up with this.

Now for the reflection part. I must say, this summer has got to be one of my most productive ones since…God knows when:

• I had (and still have) an internship, which I enjoyed 90% of the time¹.
• I’ve had my share of fun, with 2 visits to the beach and 1 visit to NYC
• I got into dramas again! Finished watching Schemes of a Beauty [Mei Ren Xin Ji]², Return of the Condor Heroes [Shen Diao Xia Lu]³, and now I’m watching Legend of the Condor Heroes [She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan]⁴.
• Started selling stuff on Ebay, because I have a shitload of useless junk at home. Woohoo for extra $$$!
• I totally cleaned my room and organized my makeup and jewelry. Will do a video room tour soon
• And somewhere in between all these activities, throw in karaoke, Korean BBQ, clubbing, and lots of shopping.

I’m sad that summer break is coming to an end, because this will be the last summer break I’ll probably have, because I’m graduating next May! Senior year, here I come!
