✨ Birthday Weekend & Haul 🎉

 

Hello angels~ I'm sorry it's been such a long time since my last post. I needed to take some time for myself to process the horrible hate crimes we saw happen in Atlanta. Since then, I have been using my platforms to bring awareness and speak out about anti-Asian violence. 

I actually started a fundraiser on Facebook for Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta, and we ended up passing the $1000 goal I set (on my birthday too)! I feel like it's such a small effort but hopefully that will help make a difference. If you would like to learn more or donate, you can do so by checking out the following links:

I didn't have much planned for my birthday this year, I honestly expected it to be about the same as last year since the COVID restrictions in my city are still relatively the same. My best friend surprised me with a cute little white chocolate strawberry mousse cake. It was nice to see her since I haven't seen her in probably 6-8 months. 

My boyfriend also brought me a box of cakes from a shop that specializes in crepe cakes, and my other best friends ordered me some fancy sushi. 

We spent the night watching movies on discord and it was really nice to just have a moment with my friends again since I haven't been outside, not even for groceries, for like.... idk man literally 4 or 5 months at this point? I sometimes go for a drive with my boyfriend and maybe grab a bubble tea but even then I can probably only count like 1-2 times I've actually done that :(

As you can tell from the title of this post, I also went ahead and treated myself! I was browsing (I forget if it was Mercari or Fril) for the first time and came across my dream MA*RS cardigan for a pretty cheap price. I also found a MA*RS romper for literally $10 so I said "why not" and instantly sold my credit card info. They came around the same day my Sephora order did so it was honestly one of the best birthday surprises ever!

The cardigan is much thicker than I thought it would be and super soft. I'm actually so in love and have to physically hold myself back from living in it haha. The romper is really cute and surprisingly fits very well! I can't wait for warmer weather and COVID to fuck off so I can be cute outside >:3c

I also picked up a cute crop top and skirt from Lizzie. I saw them listed on her depop and instantly thought they would make a cute onee outfit together! (pics are from her listing)

I was a little apprehensive about the skirt since I haven't worn a print this loud and floral in a while but I'm absolutely in love. I can't wait to wear these out!

I put together a quick little look with the Amrezy palette I got from my Sephora order. I love the glitters so much and the matte shades are very pigmented. It's a nice change of pace from the South Korean brands I usually get as those are more sheer and better suited for everyday looks. I think between this palette and the Norvina palette I got from Mando, I'm all set for glam palettes now. I can't wait to try out some looks with the bolder colours in this palette 😇

I used the shades: waisted, barb,
anastasia, cupcake, semsa, and yugo

That's all for now! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you guys have a lovely week ✨
