lash set

 Good morning!

still drinking my morning coffee before getting ready to work.

last evening my sister in law made my lashes.

She never ever made mangasets before, so I wanted to be kind and not put my expectations too high.

It's crazy how I kinda knew some terms and she had the expertise and we were like riddling how we get the look I want to.

It is a lot more difficult actually.

The type of look I want is not healthy, it is going to rip my lashes out (explains why I saw on rednote so many girls with just 2 hairs of lashes left).

However the healthy look, or traditional western manga look is ...neh.

So we are creating MY look right now.

I think she made an amazing job for her first time!!

It is not 100% my taste I gotta admit but I analysed to death what she did and I feel like I know what we will "fix" next time.

Right now it is too...wispy/voluminous? 

It looks more like those classic sets with a few thicker ones inbetween than a manga set.

For example she used feather lashes for the manga-look and in my opinion she put too many.

Also we underestimated how long the "filling" lashes are, so the manga "towers" go under.

yea but still it's so awesome haha.

I am so excited for them.

wig in progress

 Good morning!

yesterday my bundles arrived and I went grocery shopping in the morning and I found this cool pillow!

I thought about getting one from work but they cost around 30€ and that's not much but I really try not to spend so much money, especially because I just shopped a lot and got wig bundles.

But here it was...for just 8€, also with a memory cushion and I thought whatever...for 8€ I will be fine.

It was so cozy to sleep on tonight.

Also btw, not sure if I mentioned it but it has been pretty obvious I guess...my "couch" accidentally turned into my permanent bed....

whoops...

But also it means, it was the right idea lmao...I sleep so well lately.

Maybe it has something to do with the room..or partly with the matress as well.

I have no idea what kind of matress I got myself for my bed a few years ago but I bet it was just some standard cheap one I could find since I didn't have the budget.

After working in the furniture shop, I know a little bit what to look after when searching for a matress and I was able to test many over there as well and figure out my "taste".

This matress from the daybed/couch is also a cheap one but it had the features I liked, so that's good enough apparently to make me sleep better.

WELL ANYWAY TO THE BUNDLES.

I am gonna be honest...I expected brown...like chocolate brown or something.

But they are red/brown. It's actually really cool, it is almost the same color I got on my head right now.

I chose 28inch now since the price difference wasn't much, plus I knew the tips probably will arrive very thin, so I can cut off a few inches and still keep the length.

I could not resist and immediately started sewing it onto the cap.

It took me ALL DAY.. I started after lunch like around 1pm I guess and I was done at 10pm.

I am sooo happy with the result!!

I need to braid my hair underneath, right now there is just too much volume without, wash the hair properly and maybe cut the tips a lil bit and then I sew in the rubber band and tape underneath the lace to make the roots more realistic.

I did just one teeny tiny mistake and didn't put the closure in the front enough...now you can kinda see the dome cap on one side when the hair moves out of the way and I am thinking how I can fix this.

I am totally in love and will definitely stick to sewing my own wigs in the future instead of buying finished ones.

Can you remember the blonde wig and how short it was? No volume?

Crazy how that works.

But for now I put pause on this wig, I used a whole day for it...my butt is exhausted from sitting and I actually wanted to keep working on my nail business (preparing something for the website).

I am still on low energy which does not help me but I have to try my best to at least do something.

Doing a small thing a day is still more progress than doing nothing.

Haul

 Hellow!

Last day of vacation until tomorrow I have to go back to work..

I am actually worried about what happened while I was gone.

I gave my stuff to my co-worker who was so nice to look over it and I trust him but experience tells me that everything that could go wrong, always is going wrong while you are gone. Always.

Today I promised to visit my grandparents, although we have seen each other at easter but they always complain I never come over and I have to do good again :(

coat...C&A

dress...shein

bag...gift

shoes...catwalk

I seriously have no idea how to dress...it actually is getting quite warm now but it is still chill in the morning and evening and I barely have any transition coats...mainly because it is always cold here...or summer...it's just a few days where the weather is exactly inbetween and I don't see a reason to get a bunch of coats that I cannot wear in winter...if that makes sense.

I didn't wanna straighten and style my hair, so it looked quite awful today xD

My dad asked if I could stop by the one local store that also sells soil and send him the price, so he knows wether to pick it up or not and since it was right next to the mall, I just wanted to take a peak..

obviously it wasn't a peak anymore.

It was a full shopping spree.

So here is what I got:

I mainly focused on tops and bottoms, since thats what I really really need and watched that they match already in a way, to have a full outfit.

C&A 15,99€

Takko 19,99€

Takko both 7,99€

Takko 19,99€

Takko 19,99€

Takko 19,99€

The whole thing was around 104€ at first but I downloaded the app for the coupons (lmao) and in the end I had to pay only 85€..YAY

I think those are amazing finds!!

I also went to Müller again and noticed they sell kbeauty now!!

I rarely go there so I did not know.

I knew I said I want to save money and spend less on products but the break-out is really bad.

So no, kbeauty is not a scam unfortunately...

I still had some products that I could use and just in a few days my skin improved a lot.

I only got what was necessary: a toner and a facial cream.

I saw these spot treatment thing from some by mi and I want to use it to get rid of the big pimples that I got now all over my face. Normally I dislike patches but I want to try it out.

Also I got this rubber band for my new wig...

Oh yes, I haven't told yet...to be continued in a second.

Since I only had a tiny bag, I could not fit the stuff in but decided to get this foldable bag instead of a paper bag..now I can put it in my tiny bag and whenever I need more space, I have this with me.

SO ABOUT THE WIG THING:

Hear me out haha.

I cut my hair a few days ago to get rid of the broken ends (since I straighten them almost daily rn, to make them look...decent) and afterwards they were short and still bothered me a lot.

I was thinking a lot about it and I want to give wigs a shot again.

I already have gotten myself the blonde one I know but I really don't feel like blonde.

Plus I have bad experience now with volume&length stuff..

Everytime I order a human hair wig, they are trash wth.

However back in 2023 (I think?) I made my own wig and it was amazing...I actually used it every day.

So I want to give it a shot again and make my own..

It was soo easy maintenance...you just braid your own hair and wear the wig like a hat every day..

no conditioning, no styling, no hairdying...it was super refreshing.

I wondered about how I am going to put it on (sew-down or smth else) but I believe I will put it on every day...it is quicker and easier...also I don't need no glue or anything...

I worry that if I actually sew it down, it will get itchy or whatever.

One thing I will do different though: not braiding the hair every damn week.

Every sunday....my mum used to braid my hair after washing day...

I am not 100% sure how this will work but I will just keep it braided when washing the scalp..

My mum used to braid my hair in summer when I didn't want to deal with it and it was always fine washing over it.

So I believe 2-3 weeks will be totally fine to keep it braided.

OK TOO MUCH WIG TALK..

I need to get back to work lmao.

I also reconsidered the price for my press-ons.

My gut feeling was right that 49€ would be too low.

There are so many basic sets out there for that price and I do handpainted art on it..

90€+ seems a bit of a stretch though...the white set will be around 72€..that way I can offer discount and calculate other mishaps in without feeling like I undercharge myself.

I also still need to get a printer and set my website but it is getting somewhere right now.

well...good night haha

Easter look and update

Hellow!

Yes I am alive..

I feel energetic and exhausted at the same time.

So weird, like saturday for example I was sleeping the whole day.

It's a weird mix of having stuff to do and also feeling burnt out for no reason.

Well anyway...here is my easter look: 

coat...Mango

blouse...local

skirt...C&A

shoes...Shein

Bag...gift

A few updates of my life..

I had to order some car stuff so my dad could do general maintenance on it and then I have to send it to TÜV this year again (money gone again YAY)...not so yay.

I put my piano back in my apartment...it was in my parents apartment the whole time and there were moments here and there where I would have loved to play it but I had long nails and it would have been impossible...but now idk...I kinda emotionally detached with them already.

I only have to get them done so I would not bite them off like a crazy person..

I was surprised I could still play out of memory a few songs..

I haven't played the piano for like 6-7 years maybe??

Unfortunately I couldn't upload the whole video, so here is just a sneak peak: 

Be gentle with me...I still need some practice.

I also am super nervous about my Yangqin.

I definitely underestimated how difficult it would be for playing.

Like, there are just few resources and each of them tell something different.

Plus I cannot use any of the tutorials since I own only a 2-bridged Yangqin.

If you are a pro and know how to play it, you could just like transfer what's in the videos but I AM A TOTAL BEGINNER.

The strings cost around 150$!!! and I only found a shop based in Singapore for it.

Cuz it is just such a niche instrument here...I am going insane.

But I am eager to learn <3

I used today the whole day doing my nail sets for my shop.

I am still thinking about where to set it up and obviously I am not done yet but here are 3 designs I made today <3

The teddy bear design I have shown you in JANUARY...

Here is a short almond version..

I obviously love the white design most but only because they are long lmao..

Honestly I have no idea how to price it, which is my current struggle..

It is labour-heavy, so I don't want to undercharge for it, but yet I am just super quick in doing it tbh.

The white design for example took me like 2 hours...so I would have priced it at 49€

The blue design would be at 38€...and then there is shipping on top...

which I also would have to look up how tf I am gonna supposed to do this.

What do you think about these prices? 

I have like no clue...I asked ChatGPT and it seems like I am hella cheap :O

It would even rate my white design as 90$+, lowest 50-80$..

There is obviously more to tell but I am so out of blogging that I cannot remember what I even told yet and what not xD

I have to re-read my own posts to know where I am at.

I was also able to finally read my blog list <3

Missed reading about you galss..
