We're back from camping and I just wanted to make a quick post!
It was loads of fun, even though it was surprisingly cold. We hiked quite a bit and got to see some spectacular views. I promise I won't post too much non-gyaru content on here, but these pics were just too cool not to share!
My legs were trembling here because I was so afraid we would fall lol
At night we huddled by the fire and went to bed early both nights because it was just so cold! It's supposed to be June soon, I've never experienced anything like this... I was literally wearing a winter jacket!
Making smores
It turned out that the area we were traveling through had a lot of nice thrift stores! I was on the search for jewelry (specifically, bangles & pearls) and Snoopy stuff, and we were also looking for some beer signs for our house.
There was so much cool stuff for really, really cheap. I could hardly believe it! We live in a kind of pretentious area so the antique shops are always stupidly overpriced... I had a woman once try to sell me one bangle for $50. But the prices were so low and everyone we met was super friendly and kind!
I found these Camp Snoopy glasses, but I knew my family already owned one or two sets lol
We found a lot of beer signs, but none of the brands that we wanted. At the first shop, I found a few pieces of jewelry - a wooden bead bracelet, a pearl choker, and an interchangeable earring set that I'm so excited about!
It was only $9 total for everything!
Then Yuchan found an old leather wallet he wanted to restore and a cigar box. There was some cool vintage clothing, including plenty of leopard print coats lol, but nothing that I liked enough to buy
Then I found some cute bangles, but unfortunately, that shop was cash only and I had spent all my cash on parking.
Finally, we headed home and spent the rest of the day unpacking and washing everything! I also found that I had a Shein package waiting for me, but that will have to wait for another day. I'm ready to hit the hay...
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed your weekend too
It's Friday! Yuchan and I are going camping for the extended weekend I got out of work early and now I'm heading out for some errands, but I wanted to quickly share this simple scarf tutorial I found on Shi-chan's blog.
The result!
Here's how it turned out:
I really like this method because my hair is quite thin and I can't wear many updos without my scalp showing. I want to buy more scarves like this!
Thanks for reading~ I'll see you when we get back from camping!
I introduced you to my hamster Mokona in one of my latest posts.
Two days ago, he was hiding in his hut all day and night but otherwise seemed normal. But yesterday he became really ill. He had a wheezing sound when he breathed, and was very lethargic and just not acting like his normal self. We took him to the vet yesterday evening and they diagnosed him with a respiratory infection and treated him with some antibiotics.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when we got home. I don't know if we caught the infection too late or if the shock from going to the vet was too much for him, but he became very weak. He couldn't even dig in his bedding and fell asleep in his above-ground bed. I put a blanket on him for some warmth and tried to get some sleep myself hoping that he just needed some rest to fight off the infection.
Then, in the morning, we found that he couldn't pull through... He had passed away in his sleep. I can't stop crying. I wish that he had a longer life. It was so sudden. We really thought he might be able to pull through.
Yuchan took me to a local park and we made a grave for him by a bush full of white flowers.
I hope that he had a good life with us... I wish I had noticed the infection sooner, maybe things would have turned out differently.
I talked about my newly rekindled love for Tamagotchi in a recent post. I mentioned that I had my eye on a few tamas, so I wanted to share my wishlist with you! I haven't bought any yet because I've been buying up some things from my gyaru wishlist (along with plenty of impulse purchases lol)
Here are the tamas on my wishlist! Some of them are planned buys while others will probably never be anything more than a distant wish I promise this isn't going to turn into a Tamagotchi blog! Sometimes I just like sharing things that aren't specifically gyaru - and I like reading when other gals do, too!
#1: Hello Kitty Tamagotchi
This English-exclusive Tamagotchi nano is a collaboration with Hello Kitty! I plan to buy it from my local Target once my next paycheck drops. I think I'll get the white one because I love the Hello Kitty face design
#2: Sanrio Meets
I know, I know - I already have a Sanrio mix! So why do I want a Meets? Well... the Meets has Keroppi, Badz Maru, Kuromi, and Tuxedo Sam as marriable characters! How could I not want it?
#3: Tamagotchi P's
The P's are some of the cutest Tamagotchi to ever exist. The colors are all perfect, they come with those lovely rhinestone decos, and have interchangeable attachments that add all kinds of content depending on which attachment you plug in!
Considering that I've seen these go for anywhere from $350-$1,000 out of the box and without any attachment pieces (you have to buy the pieces separately), I'm pretty confident this one will remain a dream.
Sanrio Pierce/Piece content
#4: Keitai Kaitsu Tamagotchi Plus "Melon Soda"
This tama - specifically this shell - is extremely popular with collectors, and for good reason. This is one of the cutest shells to ever exist, in my opinion! It's my favorite color, after all, and I love melon soda
Unfortunately, it's also much more expensive than the other Keitai Kaitsu variants, both in and out of the box, despite the fact that the connection capabilities don't even work with phones outside of Japan (and probably don't even work with modern phones anywhere, anyways). This is another one that will probably remain a dream...
#5: Tamagotchi 4U
This color tama from 2014 caught my attention because of the personality stages they introduced for adults, meaning that you can change their appearance depending on how you take care of them! It's also much more affordable than some of the other tamas on this list, so I might actually get this one~
How cute is yankii mametchi?!
#6: Tamagotchi Nano
Apparently, some Tamagotchi collectors don't like the nano versions because of their limited capabilities. I really love their simplicity and tiny size, though! The collaboration tamas on my list are also nanos, but I want one with the Tamagotchi characters, too. Specifically, I want the nano with the sakura shell It's a little pricy for what it is, though.
#7: Tamagotchi Angel/Angelgotchi
This tama was released in 1998 and I'm wondering why my parents didn't buy it for me, lol! They bought me plenty of other tamas and v-pets/giga pets around that time. Either way, it's so cute and the focus on doing "good deeds" as a gimmick is really unique!
#8: Tamagotchi Classic, Blue Shell
I remember having this tama clear as day from my time in elementary school and I would love to own it again for the nostalgia factor! I wonder what happened to it... I can pick up this version for rather cheap and I think I'm going to order it sometime soon.
#9: Eevee x Tamagotchi
Like most other 90's kids, I have a huge love for Pokemon. Even though Eevee isn't my absolute favorite Pokemon ever, this one is too cute to not love... Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find for sale and when you do find it, the price is really high for a nano. I probably won't buy this one unless I can find it for a reasonable price.
#10: Gudetama Tamagotchi
I was really close to buying this Sanrio collab nano! Gudetama is cute and apparently, to keep him alive you have to protect him from a hand that keeps trying to turn him into an egg dish! The only reason I didn't end up ordering it is because I think some of the animations are gross and a little weird I'm sorry, Gudetama lovers!
OMAKE
There are a ton of adorable Tamagotchi accessories out there, including handmade ones! I'm thinking about ordering a crochet case for my Tamas, but I just can't decide on which one.
Tamagotchi recently announced a collab with Star Wars for an R2D2 nano. I hope that they continue this trend of making collaboration tamas. (I know this seems to be an unpopular opinion!) It would be great if they made more Sanrio nanos, like Cinnamoroll and Badz Maru. My ultimate dream is for an Animal Crossing x Tamagotchi collab. Who knows, it may one day happen!
That's all I have for now. I'm still relatively new to this hobby, and I'm sure I'll continue to come across tamas that I fall in love with! In the meantime, thanks for reading - I hope you enjoyed this peek into some of my other hobbies.
I'll talk to you again real soon!
Until next time,
