[Feb 2023] Dineout Vancouver Festival

Hello again angels, today I'll be sharing about the Dineout Festival! I haven't participated in dineout for quite some time now,  the last one I went to was in 2016. I just wasn't interested in any of the restaurants or menu sets so I stopped going. 

My high school besties and I have been trying to hang out more but it's been difficult with everyone's work schedule (and especially since one of them is a flight attendant so they're always out and about). We decided to try and get together at least once a month for dinner so we picked to do dineout together this month.

I didn't really like my makeup for this look, I didn't have a particular vision in mind and just sort of auto-piloted it. I was a bit heavy handed too so a lot of it came out darker and more intense than I would've liked but oh well 😓

For the outfit I wore this d.i.a top I got from Kohi. It's so funny because it's supposed to come with a detachable sleeve but Kohi never got it so I had to buy a random set of knit sleeves to kind of match it 💀

Here's a snap of it from a magazine

I swear the mismatched sleeves only bothers me a little hahaha 😅

We decided to go to one of our favourite restaurants. I always loved their set menu and this year it sounded really tasty.

Everything was delicious but the portions were a bit small this time around so my friends ended up going to a diner nearby to get hamburgers for "dessert" 🤪

I had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back again next time!

Anyways that all for this post. Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time 💖

[Jan 2023] Shimmery Peach Make for Pancakes

Hello angels! Does anyone still read this thing? 😂 Unsurprisingly I have once again neglected this blog and am trying to get through this backlog... again  💀

Last time we left off on me dying my hair pink again. Around this time I was settling in well to my new job and one of my old coworkers reached out to catch up over some pancakes.

I did a shimmery peachy nude makeup look that day. I was still trying to get used to changing my hair from blue to pink so I kept my makeup a bit softer. 

I ordered the baked apples and cream pancake. It was so yummy! I'm really sad this café ended up closing down a few months later 😭

That's all for this post, see you in the next one!!

[Jan 2023] Going back to Pink

 

Hey angels! Another post from the backlog here. This was the last time I turned my hair pink and just before I started feeling like I needed to give my hair a break. I've been bleaching and dying it non-stop since 2012(?) and though I was regularly trimming my ends, the damage was becoming increasingly evident.

I tried my best to strip out as much of the blue as possible but you can see there was a bit of staining. If you want to learn how to strip your hair color at home you can check out my post about it here.

Even after bleaching you can see it was still very heavily stained at the ends and because it was so damaged we couldn't do much more to correct this.

Instead we dyed top of my head pink and covered the ends with a little bit of grey! I really loved how this turned out, it's probably one of my favorite pink hair colors I've ever done.

I even wore pink to match hehe :3c

I was so excited to see how this looked with gal makeup so I went home and did a quick face before going out again.

I bought some of those manhua lashes but they were a bit too short and natural to wear so I stacked them with some other natural filler lashes and this was the result! I thought this lash combo was super cute but I hate having to stack lashes because they can feel a bit irritating after long days. Sometimes I look back at these pics and think maybe it's worth it though... 🤔

That's all for this post, thank you so much for reading! See you in the next one~
