Hello angels! How are you doing this week? I got my booster shot on Sunday so I've been down and recovering since then. I didn't get too many crazy side effects but the one I did get (muscle/joint pain) was awful. It caused all the muscles in my back to seize and I basically couldn't sit or stand without assistance for 2 days. I had some hot flashes, chills, and a migraine but all of those went away within the first few hours.

My back started to get better on Wednesday but I've been having issues sleeping and just living in general because of how painfully the muscles pinch so I've been extra exhausted this week 😥 Thankfully it's now Friday and I'm basically all better! 🤠

On the day of my booster it was sunny and actually quite nice out so I wanted to put on a simple face. I didn't have too much time and was afraid I'd be too sick to properly remove it all so I did a variation of my daily make, this time I tried using my gel liner on the bottom lashline instead of liquid liner for a softer look but it ended up a bit messy for my liking. I'd probably use a brown liquid liner next time!

Sorry these close up photos aren't that good for this look. I took these at the end of like a 6 hour day bc I didn't have time to take pics before I left the house and I didn't use a primer that day 😓

I also filled my nails and did a lil yellow french tip! I forgot to take better pics of them but I didn't think they were really worth talking about since the design was so simple. The color is cute like this but so fucking ugly as a full cover color sdflskdjf some nail polishes are just for french tips I guess 😂

We were parked downtown for a bit while my bf did some work so I had to take advantage of the natural light hehe~

I think this makeup was actually really cute for what it was (low effort) but I'll definitely need to try it again with an eye primer bc it didn't wear that nicely through the day zzz

I'm glad my skin looks nice though! I've been having some breakouts recently but I'm happy I can still hide them with makeup 🙈

As you know I've also been cooking a lot more recently! I made mushroom & chicken risotto and chicken taquitos this week~ 

Also I changed my blog comments back to the blogger embedded format. I heard that a lot of my readers were having trouble with disqus so I finally got rid of it. Hopefully blogger doesn't eat them up again otherwise I'll have to find another way to have comments on this blog 😭

That's all for this post, thank you so much for reading! I hope you are all staying healthy and safe at this time 💖

Valentine's 2022 & Recent Gets

Hi angels I hope you are doing well today. I went out for a late Valentine's dinner with my boyfriend this weekend and it was lovely! We went to one of our favorite restaurants-- it was actually the one we went to for our first date 🥰

I also recently received some more of my aliexpress orders so I'll be sharing those too~

I have been fighting the urge to get ugg boots for a really long time because I actually don't really like the way they look in the front (I feel like the toe area is too flat? idk how to explain it).

I saw these cute ones on aliexpress so I decided to get them and to my surprise this ended up being a legit pair of uggs 😱 They are so soft and cozy on the inside. I really like the bow details in the back and have just chosen to ignore what they look like in the front lol

The store I originally bought from "closed" so I think the new listing for these is this one.

I also got this pair but they are not real uggs and they are actually not made very well. I thought they were cute with the pom poms in the front but the ribbon that is holding them together is just cheaply sewn into the side and mine came ripped.

The sad part is that this little ribbon is holding the whole boot together so now that it's ripped apart the boot just stays open like a peeled banana 😒

I left a bad review for the seller but they just told me to use a "heated iron wire"(?) to seal the fraying lol I straight up have to fabric glue this or I can't wear them. They didn't even offer to partially refund or compensate me in any way so I won't link their listing.

If these weren't so poorly made they'd be really cute bc the inside is nice and soft like the first pair too 😥

I did a little blue glitter makeup look for the night~ I used the Beauty Bay x Disney Jungle Book palette and topped the center of my lid with the blue glitter from the ABH Amrezy palette! Lashes are from aliexpress/diamond lash. Review on the lenses here.

It was really cold and sort of rainy that day so I wore this w*c cami over a turtleneck with jeans and my new ugg boots. I didn't have time to find a belt as we had to get to the restaurant, otherwise I would've added that to the outfit to tie it all together~

For dinner I got to order whatever I wanted and as usual, everything was amazing!! Here's what we got:

salmon tartar

grilled squid and agedashi tofu

deep fried squid

beef tongue; one of my faves!!

sashimi platter fresh from Japan 😍

aburi trio

I was basically on the brink of tears the entire time because everything was so delicious. The restaurant staff were super nice and they gave us some free matcha ice cream as dessert after!

That's all for this post, thank you so much for reading! I'll see you again soon~
