home gets cozier

Heya!

So the rest of my furniture came and I wanted to blog but then had no time to blog..
So NOW...

First: my new chair for my beauty studio..
I want to get a similiar one but as an office chair but it's not a priority for now..



It fits in so much better than the huge beige one.
The huge one is in the corner now.

And my new couch came..
So the whole plan was to have like a cozy corner on the bottom of the room.

I spent hours browsing different dining tables and constellations and no matter which I found, everything was too big, or idk..
And then I found module couches and no lie, even though you can combine them differently, the others were also too big...this was the only match.

I had hoped to get a black one but they only had dark grey or green,orange...
so beige it is again...and luckily it matches my bed.



This was the idea I had in mind, with a lower table.
At first I wanted to get a Kotatsu but they didn't have the measurements I wanted and honestly, I know myself, I probably won't use the kotatsu the way it should have been.
 
The couch was vacuumed, so it needs a couple hours until it bounces back fully and my colleague joked that the couch looks like paper...lmaooo.
It looks better now but yea,...


And a day later the couchtable arrived...which my dad accidentally broke assembling it.
One of the wood "plates" got damaged by the wrong screw( in the picture bottom right, the plate next to the black one is missing)...those instruction manuals were so difficult to read. I wanted to assemble it on my own but failed at step 1.
Good to have a dad haha..
He told me he would just glue the damaged part and it's not visible if you don't know.
It's already fixed but I don't have a picture of it.

My mum disliked it haha...she pretended to struggle so hard to get down and how she is supposed to eat there when she is invited.
The thing is...my parents never come over (maybe like once a year)...AND I saw her crawling on the floor, playing with my niece..I know for sure she was just acting as it was terrible just because she is not used to it. 
"As long as you are happy" xD
Standard parent move.

After a few days I can say it was 100% the correct decision...I love this constellation.
I love how I have a space but it doesn't seem like it's in the way..


Now I need a carpet for underneath...also to prevent it from slipping too much.
I am not sure yet but I thought taking some of these puzzle carpets I bet you have seen them plenty already as well...I just don't know which color.
I have seen the same kind but with fur...which is also kinda cool..but I feel like it will be too much.
Oh and my bed...also super duper cozy...I love these sheets.

Next expensive thing: a new laundry machine, but with a dryer.
I don't use a dryer that much, because I believe it damages the clothes BUT my space is getting smaller and I really really don't want to run into my laundry rack anymore.
It's basically in the background of any selfie I posted lmao.

Now in the summer it's on my balcony which was amazing btw...but it is getting colder now, rainier...that means summer is over...it's only a matter of weeks until it's impossible to dry clothes outside.
I probably will order it in like the middle of the month, so it arrives when I am at home after the surgery, so I can choose the assembly date as well.
(Or I let my dad do it again lmao.)

I also received some nail stuff.
I need to stop buying more stuff before receiving clients.
It's so much work and although I work only part-time I still feel like I don't have time to take clients after all? I barely manage to do the preparations. 
The longer it takes me the more insecure I feel about starting at all.
So to relieve my stress I try to view it as a hobby now..


I got some molds to be able to make more gems..


As you can see on the left, the small detailed things break though...it is impossible to make them...
the bigger ones like bows and crosses though...amazing feature.
I need to pre-make some though because it takes longer than I thought it would.





I just picked a random nail I had to try it out and geez...this is the cleanest blend I ever had.
I will never ever ever use polish or colorgel for ombre again.

or will I?

because after a million years...yes..


I ordered an airbrush..
I haven't used it yet, also because it....kinda scares me.
It's probably easier than it seems but I definitely will watch a video or two before I put polishes in there I will never get cleaned again lmao.

What else is to say?
lots...but idk.
Two recipes I tried again turned out wayyy better this time.
Jiaozi and the Dan Dan Mian.
The dough for the Jiaozi was way better and now doing the sauce for Dan Dan in a bowl instead of in the pan (I was so used putting everything in the pan, that I didn't know this was an option).
It turned out both very delicious.
I am motivated to do more...I will try the recipe for the Tangyuan, maybe next week?
Also probably, when at the end of the month I am at home, I will prepare more stuff, like i.e. more Jiaozi, some Bao and maybe even fishcake.
After surgery I will be home for a week, I won't be able to eat anything solid but have enough time to prepare and freeze that stuff..(makes sense right?).

Well, I try to blog more but life is busy currently.
