Trip Summary

It's the 27th of July.... almost August.

So. Yesterday, my family and I came back from our vacation^^ It was fun... and my friend wanted me to blog about it... so here goes.

On Monday, early in the morning, we packed up to go to Grand Canyon. As we traveled for about 2....3 hours, we came to a place called Hunan Garden.. I think that's what it was called. Anyway, it was a Chinese place and there was a Korean woman serving us.... my mom and my sister tasted the food... and some of them were too salty... and some were really bland... I didn't eat it.

Along the way, in Arizona, we came to this mini market that sold jewelries actually made by Navajo Native Americans~ from the look of it outside, it only seemed like there would be just feathers and animal teeth and stuff.. but when we actually looked, they had really pretty ones<3 they weren't cheap.. like 20 dollars for a single bracelet, but my mom bought one.... but I guess it's worth it.. because the stones seemed real and they looked hard to make... and they seemed like they weren't making any money.

When we got to Grand Canyon.. (took us like 8~9 hours to get there), we settled at KOA Kampground and ate.. hehe. The next day, we washed up and went to the place where we get to ride shuttle buses to look around Grand Canyon. It was about 25 dollars for the three of us.. and we were able to ride all the buses with it.. so it's pretty cheap I guess:)

We rode like 7 buses I think.. to look around and we took a lot of pictures of us in Grand Canyon... with our cell phones of course. It was a beautiful place~ the atmosphere was very calm and peaceful.... and so.. nature-like haha. A big peace of art work made by God^^

We went to the gift shop right after.. and I got this necklace.. which was like 13.50.... I kinda regret buying it.

After that day, we washed up again and headed for Las Vegas!
it took about 2.....3 hours.

When we arrived, we went straight to Greenland Market in Korea Town.. because my sister had to... do something.. and we were so eager to eat black bean noodles(Jjajangmyun)~ and we had to shop of course.  I didn't eat much because I wasn't that hungry.. I ate little bit of the noodles and sundae.. (not ice-cream sundaes... pig intestines) lol.

Sooo. we shopped food.. and my natural soaps for my full-of-acne face.. and then, we headed towards the premium outlets^^ We didn't even bother to look around all the hotels and such... it's the same as always anyway.

At the premium outlets, we shopped..... I got these 2 shirts from the converse store and my sister got a shirt from j-crew and jeans from Levi's.. my mom got 2 eyeliner things from lancome and a dress from Levi's... my mom bought my sister's jeans..

After that, we went to Makino and ate a lot of sushi... I ate udon too. My mom ate crabs and other hot foods.. and my sister ate desserts. of course. We were soooo full.

So, in order to digest all those foods, we decided to look around the outlets more. Since my mom had bought my sister's jeans, she told me that she would buy me something.. so I asked for a key chain from the converse store~

Later that day, we went back to the parking lot..... lol did I mention that my sister fell on the stairs on our way the outlets..? It was so awkward... o.O
We were headed to St. George~ and it took us an hour... when we got there, we had to look for Best Western... and there were like two of them close to each other... which got us all confused.

We unpacked... and we just watched TV until like 1AM... we were all able to sleep separately.. because there were three beds.. thanks to my aunt for not coming... which made my other aunt and cousins to not come either....

So we slept... comfortably. haha a real bed in like two days... those small, hard mattresses at the cabin in KOA, are soo uncomfortable. The next morning, we got up and took showers and went to Orange Peel to get some boba teas and later went to T.J Maxx.. and after that, we went to the outlets at Zion and I got these capris from rue21... if I only had 5 dollars more, I could have gotten another one.. (they were buy one, get one for 5 dollars).. but I didn't. And then... we went home, which took us 4 hours.

HOME SWEET HOME!

Sorry... that this post was so long.. with no pictures.

eos LIP BALM Review


I hope you all remember me... it's been more than a week since I posted my last post about my day.. haha. I kind of realized that sometimes, you get too lazy to post things.. and posting about something takes up a lot of time.. And, there is another reason why I wasn't on my blog for a while.. MY FAMILY AND I WENT TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK!!! we had fun^^ I was gonna post pictures that we took on our trip.. but I thought it was gonna take too long.. and the pictures didn't come out well anyway.. so. 

OOH. AND ANOTHER BIG NEWS. Finally, G-dragon has his own official twitter!!! I stopped going on twitter like last year... but when I saw the news on instagram about him having his twitter, made me log in again^^ Okay. Now to eos LIP BALM Review~

So, when I went to target like 2... or 3 weeks ago, I found this ball-shaped thing- well actually, my sister first saw it and told me about it.. and the thing was so interesting! So I read the package thing and it was a lip balm:) It was a very cool lip balm.. so I bought it.. since I didn't have any lip balm stuff...

And today, I wanted to make a post about it.. so here's what it looks like!



This isn't my picture... but all my pictures came out very dull... so I thought I should show you what it REALLY looks like and what the REAL color is.. 



And this is my picture. I tried my best taking a good picture but... since I don't have a good camera.... OR..  a camera at all, this was the best I could do. :(



And this is what the package looks like.. before you open it. This is also not my picture. I threw away the package... cuz I didn't know I was gonna blog about this ball.. and I got so excited to open it..



As you can see, this is also someone else's picture.. cuz I can't buy all those lip balms.. and the picture turned out bright and great.... SO, these eos lip balms come in 7 different colors, which are all cute^^  At target, there was only the pink one and it was about three dollars..

And I will tell you the flavors for each one^^
Purple - passion fruit (it was a limited edition.. and sadly, they don't have it anymore..)
Pink - strawberry sorbet
Red - summer fruit
Orange - medicated tangerine
Yellow - lemon drop
Light green - honeysuckle honeydew
Light blue - sweet mint



Now.. back to my dull pictures. This is what the top of it looks like.. I know, you've all seen it from the pictures above.. but... I just wanted to show off my own picture... 




This is what the inside looks like^^ So it's a ball of lip balm.. in a ball case. So, to open it, you have to twist the cap onto the.. other part... like you do to a water bottle.. lol. I am very not good at describing things...

*You have to be careful when you twist the cap, you don't make little lines on the ball.. from the cap thing. UGHH. sorry. 



You could see that you have a lot to use on your lip~^^ I wonder how I would use it when the lip balm part is flattened out.. or made into a bowl cuz I used too much of it.. o.O  I'll have to buy a new one. You could also see that there is a little dent on it... I guess it makes it easier to get a good grip and open it. 



SO.

PROS= Easy to carry, cute, comes in lots of different colors and flavors, there's a lot to use, softens your lip.. well for about 10 minutes(look below for the list of CONS), reasonable price(well.. at target), makes people wonder what you're putting on your lips... 

CONS= Doesn't really smell/taste like strawberry sorbet..(at least mine doesn't), feels nice right after you put it on.. but the moisture disappears like in 10-15 minutes(at least mine does)... 
and some of the reviews that my sister read, said that the surface of the ball becomes dirty... mine didn't so far... So remember to keep it clean^^ 



THE END!

Typical Summer Day for Veggie


Today... I woke up at 12PM... T^T
I ate some cereal with blueberries for breakfast.....Lol breakfast. I mean brunch.. and chatted with Simsimi... so creepy.. if you know what I'm talking about.

Then, I ate a string cheese and turned on the computer. The sites I usually go to are weheartit.com, naver.com, and my blog, of course. This has been my routine since like the starting of summer.. well, except for simsimi cuz I got that app yesterday night.. if I still had facebook, I would have been on there the whole day today.. but since I deactivated my account, other sites were to be traveled to.. ^^

Later, when mom woke up, we had lunch..... or dinner, according to the time.. it was dinnertime but I only had like 1 meal before that.. Anyways, then we watched some dramas and I decided to do some exercise. As I was exercising on our treadmill-like thing, I heard our faucet go on, so I hurried up to do the dishes before my mom was doing anything.. cuz washing the dishes is my job around the house...

Then I exercised for over an hour and now, I'm on the internet again..^^


Ughhh. Time for translations.....

I LOVE YOU~!!!

Independence Day

It's July 4th!! and you know what that means~ it's Independence Day! 
I wonder what this year's Independence Day is going to be like.... my mom is probably going to work again tonight.. and I think we're gonna miss the fireworks at Sugarhouse this year.. :( This would be the first time missing it. Ahhh well since it's Independence Day and I have nothing to do to celebrate it.. I might as well blog about my day of 4th of July.

Right now, it's 1:25PM and my sister and I are watching Four Houses on TLC channel..
I ate some cereal with blueberries for breakfast... and I ate a banana like 2 hours later.... it was like 4 years ago when we went to the zoo with lots of friends and later at night, we went to go watch the fireworks at Sugarhouse.... I miss those times. Every 4th of July was fun like that.. until now. I can't believe I'm gonna miss the fireworks today!!! well... actually I can. It's life. 
ughh... I think I'll just spend my day watching more dramas on the internet.. and EATING!

Today would be the most boring 4th of July..

Happy Birthday Card


I didn't know what to post today.... so I posted those posts that were about pictures and quotes.... and I didn't think that was enough for today! As I was thinking about what to do, I remembered making a birthday card/letter few months ago and it turned out pretty well..^^ so I started to draw one again, remembering some steps.. there were a few birthdays coming up anyway.. and I thought that I should post it on the blog~





This is the colorful birthday card I made~!

Now, I will show you how to make it, step by step~!






First, you need a paper.. or two pieces of paper, just in case you mess up at first:).... a little blurry there...... -_____-





Okay, so what I did is, at the bottom of the paper, I wrote happy birthday, in block lettering.
Now... this seems weird.. but to make the block letters into 3D, you have to make the... shadow part(?) ..you know.. pretend that there's a sun at the top left hand corner and you could see the sides of the block letters... sorry for being so confusing... So, draw some little lines, touching every corner, facing away from the imaginary sun.





This is a close-up view of them....
And this is also complicated... but it's actually very easy. All you have to do is connect the lines....as shown above. On the curved parts, I didn't do a good job either....





The Happy Birthday sign looked too plain... so I added a little character, which right now, is only a face.





The body complete! I guess it looks a little bit nicer.... lol
This is the overall look... with no color yet. 





Now, with some color and lines for the.. words to be written^^ I didn't want to use sharpies... and I can't really color in those small block letters with those thick crayons.. and all I had were pens, as I showed you on my diary post, sooo, since I didn't want to use up the thin pens too much, I drew in bunch of diagonal lines....





This is the complete look of the card/letter~! 





A balloon.......^^ You could see how I colored in the things with more detail





I personally think that diagonal lines look much better than just coloring them in completely~ hehe 

Done~!!!

Hehehe.. much better than just buying birthday cards for someone....
