Lazy Day

I know you guys have one of these days when you really don't wanna do anything. Anything means anything.. like Nothing Nothing. You should just relax and let the day pass you smoothly. I know I have these days way more often than I should. However, especially when you just finished huge exams or papers, don't you just wanna sit and relax for awhile? Yup, today was the day for me.

Skin Care

On my lazy day, I just use a toner from L'OCCITANE which is seriously my favorite toner ever + a moisturizer from Clinique. I heard it's better to use skin care products from one brand, but my skin doesn't really like any other products from Clinique & I recently found that skin care products from L'OCCITANE are really good for my skin. For now, I'm fine with these products. hehe

Make-up
I don't really go out on my lazy day, so I really don't wear make up. I try to have at least 1 day per week for No Make-up Day since wearing make-up is not really good for skin. If I really have to go out even on my No Make-up Day or lazy day, I go out without make-up or with minimal make-up. You can't really tell my make-up from this picture because of the light and camera, but I only do my eye brows and put fake eye lashes for these days.

Hair Care

Ahhh.. I am Okay with natural hair dryer for eco!!! (just let my hair dry without doing anything) BUT I wanna protect my hair and look goooood!! For these my selfish opinions about my hair, I use Jojoba oil. I wrote about this product before, click here to read more  → Ellips Hair Vitamin 

Fashion
When I have to go out, I wear jeans. I don't look good with jeans but I have them (for just in case hahaha), so I take advantage of lazy days to wear jeans. I usually wear one of my room-wear at home. Wait, I don't know if you guys call these clothes "room-wear." They aren't pajamas. They are clothes that I wear at home. When I get home or when I hang out at home, I wear them.. If you know what I am talking about, please let me know how you call these clothes in the comment below.
Activities

I usually take a bath and watch Youtube. Recently, I started watching Japanese game shows. I really believe that Japanese game shows are the weirdest but the best. If you can understand Japanese language & humor, please please please watch Japanese comedies. If not, I'm sorry. You're missing out. ahaha

Very sometimes, I do mini-games. I'm not good at playing games, so I like very simple and short games. BUT since I have a very addictive personality, I avoid playing games. haha Anyhow, the latest one which I play is 2048. You just need to add numbers in a fun way. So if you like simple and short games, I recommend you to try this ^^ (look, I won!) I can do it, so you can do it too!

This is my lazy day!
I love lazy days, but at the same time, I am kinda scared of lazy days.
I'm already a lazy person, so it's easy to be lazy... I am scared that I will have a lazy day every single day from now on. Oh, I don't want that I don't want that I don't want that. haha

What do you do on your lazy day?
Do you have any recommendations for me to try on my lazy day?

Talk to you soon,

Wedding Day

Have you been to a wedding? Fortunately, believe it or not, I have been invited to attend weddings some times in the US. I get a bit emotional when my important people find a perfect match & get married. The other day, I went to my friend's BEAUTIFUL wedding. It's definitely NOT My Wedding. Sorry if I made you get excited or confused. m(_ _)m Anyhow, I was so excited for her more and more as the wedding date got closer, but I was also so sad that I had to miss a lot of it. In American culture, it is rude to be late for the wedding (same as Japanese culture). I asked her and other my friends what is the best thing I can do for her. My best friend said "She invited you. Which means that she obviously wants you to be there. It'll make her more sad if you don't show up than if you are late. It's rude, but at least, she knows that you care." ...What a word.. Although I felt really bad to get there really late, I am very grateful that I could congratulate her and celebrate one of her happiest moments of her life.
NOTE : I strongly recommend you to talk with the person who invites you at first about this issue. It is your dear friend's "the most important day."

The wedding was just so pretty. The theme was Hawaiian. All the decorations were handmade, creative, and lovely. I felt like I was in "3D Pinterest." I couldn't "pin" everything, so I took some pictures to share with you guys.

She is one of the loveliest people I have ever known in my life. You know, people say "she is gorgeous inside and out. She is really the one who is beautiful and gorgeous inside and out. I thought she was an Angel and had some wings on her back when she walked towards me to say hi. I know it sounds pretty ridiculous, but I hope this is describing you how sweet she is. I just wanted the world to know this^^

For the wedding, I was wearing..

Black cardigan - Banana Republic

Navy blue dress with flower - Lauren Conrad

(The Navy blue is my favorite color + A line dress is my favorite too. It has fuzzy flowers all over the dress. It's just so pretty! I fell in love with this dress immediately. So, it was a little pricey for me as a student, but I had to get it.. :'( sorry, wallet. haha)

Seriously, isn't a wedding almost a magical event?

On this Earth, in millions or billions of people, we meet a person. Then, the person falls in love with you! The person feels the same way about you as you feel about the person.. :O wow.. Then, we promise to love each other and be together for rest of our lives happily in front of all the other people.. WOW... like WOW!
I think Wedding is a magical event which also makes everybody fulfill with a lot of happiness and love.

What do you eat?

What do you eat?

People often ask me what I eat or sometimes ask me if I like food. What kind of question is that? Before I say anything, they already expect me to ONLY eat Sushi or some sorts of raw fish stuff everyday.

Vivian (Me) : "NO, I don't eat sushi everyday."

(If you are curious what other questions people have asked me, click - Weird Questions?)
They always seem very disappointed when their expectation doesn't match with what I said.

So, they always follow up with millions of questions.
I always get overwhelmed by "millions of follow-up questions"
Do you eat rice? salad? chicken? mushroom? pasta? ... (list goes on)...

AND

MANY MORE Delicious Food from All over the World

I love both cooking and eating food. I'm waaaay far from a picky eater although there are foods that I can't eat or don't prefer eating. However, I always give it a try. I think it's unfair to say "I don't like it" before I actually taste the food. It is also really rude to people who made the produces and cooked for us. It's not good to be a picky eater in Japan. My grandma always told me that we need eat little bit of everything.

Also, I love trying authentic / unique / strange food. When I visit a different country, this is a "MUST DO" thing for me. So, I have tried some unique foods that some people get grossed out.

So, the answer to "what do I eat?" is basically...

"the same as what you eat + probably more delicious food that you haven't even tried" haha

My favorite American food is

New York Cheesecake!! haha

When you come to America, please give it a try ^^

If you know strange & delicious foods, please share!!

what it is, where I can try, how it tastes like... etc.

I would love to try that in the future :)

Talk to you soon

Spring is HERE!

I have been having such relaxed days since Spring break started :) I guess I had been stressed out with my final exams and projects, so I have been having a little weird health condition now. Luckily, I didn't plan any trips during the break, so I get to relax as much as I can. Because I have so much time now, I was reading my latest blog posts and noticed that I don't have pictures of me whereas other bloggers post their selfies and their own pictures on every single posts. (I feel awkward taking 'selfies'..) So, I met up with my bestfriend/"sister" and took some photos under the beautiful cherry blossom trees! Oregon is still cold. It was very windy, cold, and rainy, so it wasn't the best day to take pictures outside. Oh well, this is Oregon :D

My favorite part of this dress is the baby pink bow. This dress actually didn't come with the pretty bow. One of my mom's hair accessories was getting old, so we just got the bow part from the accessory and sawed it on this dress. Now, it looks very adorable and Springy! I think it's very important to look good from the front and the back as well. You got an old hair accessory and a very simple dress? Well, make it cuter in your own way!

I had a pair of shoes that goes perfect with this outfit. However, since my toe was hurting a bit, I had to wear very comfortable ones which also have bows.

 Dress & Hair accessory - from Japan

Gray tights - H&M
Shoes - Arizona Jean at JCPenny

Hope you enjoyed my fashion post too!
