JetPens Haul ♡

Today's blog post is a small haul of my first order from JetPens! I'm a total pen junkie and I've been meaning to make an order here for a while, so I thought why not now? Anyways, on with the post! 

Here's a picture of everything I ordered! I tried to focus on getting a few pencils, pens, and 2 highlighter colors I've wanted for a while! Clearly, my color preferences shine through with my purchases and it really makes it easier for me to wanna use everything at once haha!

The first things I got were pink ink refills for my favorite pens, Pentel EnerGel Deluxe RTX! I use the Breast Cancer Awareness type which isn't sold on the Jetpens site, but you can get it here on Amazon! (Jetpens doesn't seem to sell the Pentel pens I use, just the refills but I'm totally ok with that!~) I also got these bunny planner stickers that are reusable! I'm waiting for my new planner to come in to use them, so for now I'll just admire them. I also got the Tombow Mono 2way Correction Tape & Eraser! I write in pen a lot and I make a lot of mistakes, so I knew I had to get this (especially when I saw the pink one!), it's refillable but the refills are like a dollar less that the correction tape itself, so if I manage to use it all I might just opt to buy a new one instead of the refills!

I finally got to order the lavender and gray Zebra Mildliner highlighters that go with the other highlighters that I own and love! I tested these out and like my other colors they're pastel and not completely painful to look at like other normal highlighters. They're also very affordable (about $1.50 per highlighter and around $8 for the 5 color pack!). I also bought the pink and lavender Kokuyo mechanical pencils (both pencils use the lead size 0.5!) and the erasers twist up, are hexagonal shaped, and match the color of the pencil itself, which I find super cute ♥  

I also got the pink and lavender Uni Jetstream Ballpoint Pens! I really needed to try out some 0.5 pens (my Pentel Energel pens are 0.7!) so I could have pens to write with in my planner! They're one of the most popular pens on the site and they were pretty cheap, so I just gave it a try! They come in a lot of different colors and they're really adorable in person! It's a definite change from my usual pens, but I think they'll work super well for my planner. I found the Zebra Fullst Mechanical Pencil (lead size is 0.5) only because I looked at Jetpens' "Back to School Favorites" collection! The green one was out of stock, so I got the pink color instead and I love writing with this! It was the main pencil I used today while taking notes in my Botany class and the eraser twists out on this pencil also. The little green stick that looks like a pencil is actually an eraser, called the Uni E-Knock! One of my favorite artists, Justin Wallis (owner/artist of Milkbbi), has this eraser (and also the Mildliners that I mentioned above!) and that was pretty much the only reason I got it. However, I have to say that it's super convenient! I usually use Pentel polymer erasers (they erase really well and don't make a big mess of shavings), but I can keep this in my pencil case along with all my pens/pencils and it doesn't take much of the eraser to erase.  

 I think this order went extremely well and I'm definitely gonna make another JetPens order soon! They give free shipping to orders that are over $25, and while it seems really easy to make, it was pretty hard for me to pick and choose to reach $25 haha! 

I placed my order on September 1st, it shipped out on the 2nd, and I received it on the 5th! Almost everything I've seen on the site says that it ships out in 24 hours and I definitely agree with that claim. I was extremely excited to get my package and everything was either bubble wrapped or placed in a durable folder to keep from bending! 

I definitely recommend JetPens!  

Thank you for reading ♥

Cute D.I.Y. Dividers!

Hello!! Today's blog post is a do-it-yourself blog post! I've been trying to get more ideas on what to blog about (because I've had this blog for so long and don't wanna give up on it completely) and some of my wonderful Twitter followers/friends gave me ideas! More do-it-yourself blog posts was one of the things suggested, so here is today's blog post c:

I know not everyone uses a planner or has a binder planner/Filofax like I do, but I was so excited about making my own dividers for it I thought I should share this easy process just for future reference for anyone else c:

Like I told you in a previous blog post, this is the planner I purchased for myself! The Patent Filofax Pocket in Duck Egg Blue! 

I happened to come upon these adorable document holders in the Target dollar section! The mint green and white polka dot pattern is just so darling that I fell in love with it instantly! I looked around on the Internet to see if I was crazy to want to make my own cute dividers, but it turns out it's a really common thing! 

Personalization is so important!

Materials needed: 

-Planner/Binder stock dividers (optional)

-Single hole-punch (easy to find!) or 6-hole puncher (optional)

-Folders with a cute pattern

-Scissors

-Pencil

I tried to make sure I was using up as much space as I could make dividers because I didn't want to waste a single bit of it even though it was $1! This divider making process is much easier if you have the stock dividers that come with the planner or binder that you already have! If not, you can easily just manually measure everything yourself c:

Step 1: Taking the stock divider, try to line it up on the part of whatever folder or cute pattern you want to use! Using a PENCIL trace out the shape and also go back and trace in the hole punches! You'll need them for reference later!

Step 2: After tracing everything, cut out the outer shape! Try to get it as close to the line you drew with pencil as possible! Next, take a single hole-punch (or specialized 6-hole punch for planners, I bought mine here for pretty cheap!) and line it up with the traced circles! 

Make sure you're careful with the hole-punching!! 

Finally, you should be done with the first divider! You can do what I did and use the other stock dividers in order as bases for my new ones to go into my planner! It saves a lot of time and whatnot! 

Here's the end result: 

I'm getting super excited getting my planner all together to show you guys c: It's almost complete, but I'm still trying to decorate it and see what I like or don't like (page-wise) inside! When it's fully complete I'll be sure to write a more detailed blog post about everything!!

Like I said before this D.I.Y would be very easy!! I'm looking for more D.I.Y. ideas and hopefully I can find something cuter and more accessible for everyone another time c:

Thank you for reading and as always if you have any questions/comments leave them below or at my ask.fm!

Oops, I Did It Again...(Taobao Order #2) ♡

Like the title of my blog post says, I made another Taobao order! I got the big urge to do it out of nowhere yesterday and I'm in dire need of some new dresses anyway so I thought why not! 

This taobao order is going to have the same amount of items I believe, so it's not very big! I didn't want to order a whole lot since I only want a couple of things c: 

The first dress I'm ordering is a hoodie dress with BABY printed on the chest c: there's also a pink version with DOLL and a lilac/lavender dress with FAIRY! I instantly fell in love with this one though, since "baby" is in just about all my usernames :3

Next item is this Korilakkuma backpack! I just found it while randomly surfing on Taobao and thought it was really adorable! I'm planning on using it for when I walk around my first anime convention with my best friend in July :3

Third is this really pretty white dress! I got captivated with the detailing on the bodice and it was too cheap to pass up c:! You can never have too many white dresses I think~

 I'm ordering are this lovely gingham print dress! They're supposedly pretty thin so I think it'll be perfect for the spring and summer c:~

I also fell in love instantly when I saw this dress! My adorable blogger friend Kiyomi has the navy blue version, but I'm on a white clothing kick since it's almost summer time c: 

I HONESTLY WASN'T PLANNING ON BUYING ANY SHIRTS, but I've been drooling over this print on a crop top or regular shirt for MONTHS. And by chance I happened to find it today ;v; I'm super, super excited for this because I have a habit of buying t-shirts with unique/cool prints for my lazy days c:~

Like I said this order isn't going to be very big c: but I'm excited for these items!!~ They're all so cute and I have a huge lack of dresses in my closet! 

Some plans and updates though!!

I'm planning on opening up my Storenvy closet again! I sell my old clothing that I don't wear or never have worn on there and it'd be awesome if you can check it out when I open it again in the coming weeks! I have lots to sell (and it's breaking my heart to have to see some go..)! I'll be sure to make a small post here, on my Twitter, and my Tumblr when I open it up :3! The store link is here (though it's closed until I open it again of course c:!)

If you have any questions, fell free to ask me on my Tumblr or Ask.fm! c: 

If you want to learn how to order from Taobao like me, I have a 4 part tutorial here! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day/night! And thanks for reading :3

Bobon21 Replica dress! It's so adorable I had to purchase it!! If you want a review when I receive it, let me know in the comments!

I bought these heels for the Spring time and also to match the Taobao items I ordered! I'm trying to delve into a more "hime-style", specifically "himekaji" and these were just what I was looking for! 

You can read the review of these shoes here!

I've been waiting for one of my favorite shops, Omocat, to release her Spring clothing line for months! And the "Glitchboy" shirt was what I wanted the most!! Luckily, I was one of the few who got to order one before it completely sold out :3 (I ordered it literally 3 minutes after she opened her shop actually haha..) and I've been waiting a while to buy one of her prints/posters, but decided to wait to buy it with my shirt :3! Her artwork is amazing and I'm so excited to get it!!

I've decided that Usagi Tsukino will be my 2nd cosplay for the Anime Convention my best friend and I are going to this summer and finally bought her cosplay from my cosplaymaker who made my Korra cosplay!! She did such a good job on my Korra cosplay, that I asked her to make this custom for me (since she takes custom orders!!) I'm so happy and excited!! (Be on the lookout for a Korra and Asami Sato photoshoot type thing!! I'm planning to do it this week with my best friend because she's cosplaying Asami with my Korra!!)

I bought these adorable socks from ASOS!! It was love at first sight haha!~

I literally just bought these from eBay about 20 minutes ago! Haha, heart printed crop tops! I went to buy one, but ended up purchasing three!~ :3 Once again perfect for Spring~

That's mostly it on my recent purchases :3 If you have any questions, regarding any of the items I've bought please feel free to ask! If any of the links to the reviews are missing, I probably haven't written them yet silly c:! I'll get to it as soon as they come!!
