{ Nail Art } Christmas Nails 2014!!

Omg, this post is so late :(

I've done Christmas nails for the past couple years since I've started my blog, and this year is no exception :P

Sadly, I didn't find the time to post this before or on Christmas... so Merry belated Christmas everyone XD

Anyway this year, I did some Christmas sweater nails again. :) Enjoy!




the right hand... sorry for the blurry pictures, it's so hard to take photographs of your right hand while holding a DSLR with your left hand.. XD
my left (and non-dominant) hand did a pretty dang good job right?! I'm proud too xP
What I used: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, essie jag-u-are, Sinful Colors San Francisco, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear DIisco Ball, Sally Hansen nail art pen in white
Until next time~

{ Photography } Homemade Gingerbread & Sugar Cookies 2014

This year I took advantage of the Christmas season and baked a bunch of cookies to give to friends, classmates and co-workers :D

After backing and decorating over 200 cookies, of course I had to snap some pictures for memory's sake! And of course I'm proud of some of the really pretty cookies, haha!




Can you believe this? 200 separately decorated cookies... My arms really hurt a lot afterwards, especially after kneading and rolling out the dough and cutting out the cookies.


I fell in love with these cute little wreaths.. so I ended up doing a bunch of them :p


Okay, bye!

{ Blog Update } New K-pop/K-drama Blog

Hello hello!!! I'm finally updating this blog.. it's been so long, geez.

Well apologies, but my family moved back in October and things were so hectic.. then things really picked up at school and I was also busy working half the time so I didn't really feel like updating.

Anyway a couple updates here. I've officially created a new blog solely dedicated to my K-pop/K-drama obsession. I will leave all my K-pop/drama related posts on this blog, as an archive kind of, but my new blog is JosieTalksK.blogspot.com

If you're interested, please head on over there and check it out! I'll be trying to update it a lot now that the semester is over and I have a lot more free time :)

Anyway, this blog is now going to be dedicated to my personal life: photography, nail posts.. most of the stuff that was here before minus the K-pop/drama stuff.

Alrighty, that's it! Thanks for reading. :)

As always, see you!

Recent K-pop Purchases (Collective) ~ Infinite (Of course.. :p), Winner. Block B, VIXX

Hello helloooo! I am back! Been so busy and tired from being busy T.T But I'm back!

Here's another collective K-pop merch haul type of post :D


First up is some stuff I got from MWave Shop.
I've ordered a couple times from them now, and I've had very positive experiences every time, so I plan on continuing ordering stuff from them when they have something I want for a good price.

Anyway, I ordered Winner's 2014 S/S Limited Edition and Block B's H.E.R. Special Edition.
Winner's 2014 S/S Limited Ed. album comes in black and white, but since I only ordered one, MWave randomly sent me white, which I don't mind at all. I would have been okay with either :P


Here's what's included in the Winner 2014 S/S Limited Edition album:

One double sided poster:

double sided poster side A
double sided poster side B
A magazine-like photobook & a larger, thicker photobook w/ CD


(Inside of large, main photobook) CD + polariod of a random member, I got Mino


Back of photobooks


This album is freakin' beautiful, seriously. Besides 10 extremely high-quality tracks, the packaging and photobooks are done so well. The concept is so well thought out and it really matches the members. They all look so stylish and model-esque! (even though all of you who watched WIN/Winner TV or any of their behind the scenes stuff KNOW how dorky the Winner boys are... haha!)

In my opinion, this album may be a bit pricey, but it is definitely worth it if you're a fan of Winner and want to invest in a classic collectible.

Winner 2014 S/S Limited Edition available here via MWave Shop (such a good price compared to other sites!!)

-----
Next up is Block B's H.E.R. Special Edition.
This version (sadly) does not come with any random member's sticker sheet. It's only available in the regular version of this album.

So this album comes with a CD, a DVD, a photobook/lyric book and 7 individual posters of the members.


7 posters: one for each member (sorry I was too lazy to unfold all of them and take pics of them all OTL)


This album is available on MWave Shop if you're interested.

 -----

Next up is some random Infinite stuff I got off a person named Katie Li on Facebook.

This Woohyun She's Back Limited Ed. A4 photocard has been on my wishlist for a while, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to have it!


How I have both my favorites: Sunggyu & Woohyun for this album :D *check* ...and I also have Hoya, whose card originally came with my album, lol.


I also ended up getting this postcard from the same person.


I also have Hoya's from my original album order... I want Sunggyu's too.. ;~;


 From the same person, I also bought this Christmas card thing that was for Japanese Inspirit only... It was too cute ;o; I couldn't resist!



This girl was super awesome, she gave me a nice note & some freebies! Those Sunggyu & Woohyun polaroids doe! So cute ^^


-----

Next up is Infinite's Last Romeo Japanese album (version B) that I bought off kikkawa19830530 on eBay.

It's in perfect condition and it was a good deal cheaper than YesAsia, albeit out of the original plastic packaging.

I won it on an auction for about $22, plus around $4 shipping.




This album is gorgeous too. I thought it wouldn't be that exciting since all the pictures are the same ones from Infinite's Korean album/promotions, but the photobook is really big and beautiful. I also really like the packaging ^^;;

-----

Next up is some stuff I got from YesAsia!

I originally ordered Infinite's That Summer 2 paper frames with this album to reach the minimum for free shipping, but they couldn't find any more stock of the paper frames, so they just sent me this album alone (the free shipping still applied though).

Anyway, this is VIXX's Rock Ur Body. I FINALLY bought it, haha. And I got super lucky with the CD plate too! I got Ken~ He's my favorite. It's such a cute album. I love the bright & happy colours... this was before VIXX went all super dark on us haha.


I also ended up getting this Infinite Last Romeo Jap. (Normal ver) album from YesAsia since I wanted to try my luck with the photocard. I ended up with a group photocard (not super disappointed but I wish it was Sunggyu or Woohyun instead :c).



-----

And LASTLY~ I got this paper frames set from Infinite's That Summer 2 concert goods collection. I was looking all over for these since YesAsia ran out, so I bought this set off a seller on eBay even though the box is a little damaged and dented.


The photos and frames themselves are fine, though, which I'm thankful for. These frames/pictures are so cute! Although the set is a lot smaller than I imagined, I'm still really glad I had the opportunity to get myself a set! :D


Wooooooo that was a long post! Alrighty, that's all for now! Thanks for reading my post :) Bye now ^^
