My adventure with yumetenbo/dreamv.

The weather is getting warmer here, so I've started doing yard work for money again. I'm hoping to get my job/externship in the next month and a half but for now it's just odd jobs for me. Thankfully my mother and other family members like to overpay me so I'm able to save some and still provide myself with a little retail therapy.

I've been looking at multiple items at Dreamv for awhile, but as many people are aware of, the good stuff sells out very fast. It seems that if you want something you have to really be on it. I was first looking at some dresses in this style.

I'm really in love with these, but they are often sold out in my size, even in colors I don't want. This was originally what I was looking for, a hoodie dress with some sort of cute trim, but I kept my eyes open for other things. I'm glad I did because I spotted this.

School, Purchases, and an Apology.

Hello! I really have to apologize for my absence before I say anything else about this post. I'm taking night classes and it's been really hard for me to transition from doing nothing all day to making sure everything is OK before I leave the house to go to school. 

I've been having a great time at Le Cordon Bleu. It stresses me out a lot because I want to do well and some things are hard for me, but I'm really happy to be there. It's feels really nice to be working so directly towards something I care about, and to see my hard work pay off every day when I take home the amazing things we learn to make. So far I've learned the correct method for simple things like Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pies, and Muffins, and I've learned new things like Pâte à Choux and Tart making. I've had some difficulty with decorating because my ideas tend to get muddied together, but I think that I've been doing pretty well otherwise.

A Festival, Captain America, and a Fantastic Fashion Find.

Yesterday my wonderful boyfriend and I planned to go to A local Festival called Renton River Days, it is like many places in the area layout wise, in that it has Fun play areas for kids, Several great looking food stands, and tons of vendors selling everything from custom clothing to handmade soaps. While all of this was amazing and I even tried on a few things, the biggest thing I was drawn to was the petting zoo! They had my dream pet there, the ultimate adorable and slightly odd animal.

Eyelashes for miles.

I ordered a ton of stuff from eBay, and although I'm still waiting on some of them, the most exciting thing came first, 60 pairs of eyelashes.

A little Smooshed.

The listing was for sixty lashes in six different styles. It came to about eight dollars including shipping, and they come in these boxes. I do have to say that they were a little rumpled when I got them, nothing major, but one or two of the individual strips will have to be re-shaped a bit.
