[July 2024] Pink Chrome Nails & Summer Adventures

 

Hi angels! Hope you're having a great start to your week. With summer in full swing I was once again scouring instagram for nail design inspo. Around this time I noticed that the seashell and tropical/ocean themed nails were really popular so I asked my nailist to recreate something similar.

We ended up with this simple chrome and pink design and I liked it a lot. I get a bit overwhelmed by intricate nailsets sometimes so it's nice to have a break every so often and not have overly decorated nails.

Later I went to have dinner with a few friends from elementary school. I can't believe it's been such a long time since we've met and this was the first time we hung out together as a group in our adulthood. It was nice to reminisce about our childhoods and see how much everyone has grown up.

For dinner the next day Kevin and I went out with another friend of ours. We tried out this place we had seen on social media called Alley 16. It's a yakiniku specialty spot and we were particularly interested in their set combo!

Everything was fresh and delicious, I enjoyed this meal a lot. The little personal grill you get when you are seated at the bar was so cute lol. I think this would be such a lovely date night spot (⸝⸝> ω <⸝⸝)

You already know I didn't get a fresh nail set if there aren't any cursed nailfies so here are some we took of this set.

Oh yeah so, I'm sure you've noticed that I'm always taking pictures in parking lots and maybe you've wondered why that is. Basically one of our favorite things to do is loiter outside ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)

Kevin and his friends have an interest in cars so we're always out taking pictures and going to random ass car meets. If there isn't a meetup they'll find places to take photos of their cars while me and the other girlfriends hang out together! 

I enjoy taking photos too but I'm not really into car photography. I like going to meets and seeing the cars but they're not my favorite thing to take photos of. I'd rather take candids of everyone else taking car photos:

But sometimes I can take nice photos like the one above for social media too (ᵕ,,—ᴗ—,,)

The next week I got to meet up with another friend that I knew from when I used to go to church. It had been a long time since we met up as well, she has been so busy finishing up her university studies.

It was really nice to catch up over brunch. We went to one of my favorite spots called OEB Breakfast Co. I got my usual salmon benny and it was absolutely decadent (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

Though it felt chaotic to have such a busy schedule I had so much fun meeting up with everyone. I was really happy to be making the most of my summer that year and soon I was heading off on my annual work trip but I'll share more about that later!

Thanks for stopping by to read this post, I'll see you in the next one ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

[March 2024] Birthday Omakase

 

Hi hi!! I went to try a new omakase restaurant called Tekkaba for my birthday last year. I feel like as I get older my birthday celebrations get longer but I'm not complaining (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

We had the premium omakase menu and it came with a ton of delicious courses.

I really liked the tea set they gave us it was so cute!! 

We were sat at the bar and it had a really cozy vibe. There was a projector playing Disney karaoke songs for some reason but it made the experience fun and enjoyable ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Since we were celebrating my birthday the chef made me a special dessert plate! This was so cute and tasty but I had to wear a party hat and have the whole restaurant sing to me before I got to eat it (๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭

I didn't get any photos of my outfit or makeup from that night cause I really wasn't feeling it but here's a little clip from my friend's POV when they brought the dessert out (ᵕ • ᴗ •)

Though I had been having a hard time until this point I was glad that I still had so many kind and loving people by my side. This was truly a memorable birthday for me and I am forever grateful and blessed to spend another year with everyone (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)

[Jan 2024] Dineout @ Jungle Room

 

Hello again angels! It was Dineout Festival time again so it was time to get ready for some good eats. If you're not familiar, Dineout is an annual food festival event in my city. I only recently starting participating in this again so I was excited to see what we had in store this year. You can read about our last year's adventure here.

It's been cold as shit in January these last few years so the day we planned this outing was no exception. It was raining too and in general, very miserable out.

I didn't really feel like dressing up because of the rain so I kept things casual. I only had like 20 minutes to get ready so I did my usual makeup and made it a little more smokey in the droop. I really liked how it turned out! ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

We went to this new restaurant that opened called Jungle Room. They have an Indonesian and Japanese fusion inspired menu that's combined with French cooking techniques. The interior is so luxurious and chic. I didn't take many photos because it was quite dim but here are some from google to give you an idea of how beautiful it was. You can also check out their instagram here for more up to date pics.

We were sat in this library looking corner and it was so cozy. They updated the space so instead of the low little coffee table in the picture above we had a taller dining table.

We had a set menu for the night but they had some oysters on special so we ordered some to share. They were delicious and I loved how they tabasco came in this dropper bottle.

For my set I chose the tuna tartare, beef ribs, and ice cream sando. Everything was sooo tasty and the ribs literally fell off the bone when they were plating so they just put the bone on top of the meat LMAO ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

Since my friends and I are gluttons and eating is our favorite group activity, after dinner we went to get bingsu at a cafe down the street (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)

We shared the tiramisu bingsu that was on special at the time. It was so decadent!! (*´▽`*) I had so much fun that night. I can't wait to visit these two spots again, they were amazing!!

That's all for now, see you in the next post -`♡´-
