Smile! for [Colorful Adventures] Filming Fails and Christmasy Disneyland



So maybe describing Disneyland to be a magical place is being cliche-ly redundant, but being there during while the holiday decorations are up, after the fireworks end and the Sleeping beauty castle is covered in silvery blue glittering lights and their imitation white snow starts fluttering down onto your hands, it's the most magical feeling in the world. Even more so if you have never been in real snow before.

Here are some pictures:


































So at Disneyland right now, there's pretty much a deal where you can get a ticket for $99 that's good for two days from now until June, which for a student, isn't a bad deal at all, especially if you love Disneyland. Hehe. P: I'm currently debating about upgrading my ticket to getting an Annual Pass. What do you think?

Anyways, there's a lot of things that I'm planning and one of them is a Closet Sale! I was doing a house cleaning for the past couple days and I've pulled out clothes that I wore in middle school and some old clothes that I just don't think I'll wear anymore. My friend also put in some clothes for the guys, along with some stuffed animals for the kids. (: At the moment, I'm still pulling together everything, but stayed tuned for that! (:

Smile! for [Colorful Links] Christmas Icing and Victoria Secrets

Christmas came and went in such a hurry this year! What did you do for Christmas? My friends and I watched the basketball games, made creme brulee, built a gingerbread house/man, played taboo and I watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time! ^^

1. Icing DIY
Icing is actually quite easy to make! ^^ Here's the list of ingredients:

1 egg white
1 tsp of lemon juice
2 cups of confectioner's/powdered sugar

Step 1: Mix the egg white and the lemon juice together.
Step 2: Mix the sugar into the mixture.
[Colorful Tip] The proper consistency of the mixture can be tested if you lift your mixing utensil up and a bit of icing falls back into the rest, stays a little bit on the surface and then disappears.

This type of icing is called royal icing. It's the most common type of icing used on gingerbread men and gingerbread houses because it dries hard and matte over time. (:

2. Forever 21

Forever's Buy One Get One Free Sale is ending soon, and it prompted me to browse around on their website to see what I thought was worth my while. Granted when I started browsing, I ended up looking to places outside of the sale....but still worth the attention. ^^'' I've been absolutely craving for the ideal blazer and this woven career blazer had a very sophisticated chic look that caught my eye. I also personally think that these strappy leatherette sandals in gold or bronze as well as these lace up leatherette boots would be very versatile for cosplay and regular wear. (:

3.Victoria's Secret
It's pretty universal that Victoria's Secret is known to exhibit and define the characteristic of being sexy. Usually their prices are pretty expensive, but their Semi-Annual Sale ends this Thursday and I say that their sale is definitely worth looking into. I discovered a whole list of things that have found a place in my Bookmarks list. Starting wiiiiith (drumroll) these two sweaterdresses (Cotton Ribbed Turtleneck Sweaterdress and Sleeveless Squareneck Sweaterdress) then these three sweaters that are absolutely perfect for layering in three different lengths (Silk and Cashmere V-neck Cardigan Sweater / Flirty Cardi Sweater / Maxi Cardigan Sweater) and the very last thing that I thought were these Marisa Crop Pants that would look very cute for pattern experimenting during the spring season.

I will be uploading another video soon about the art of quilling and then another video of the outfit of the day. There will be many posts and hopefully many videos coming soon. (: So please stay tuned! ^^

Happy shopping and hope you all got presents this Christmas!


Smile today!
