120 Manly Eyeshadow Palette

Well, my 120 Manly Eyeshadow Palette finally arrived a few weeks ago. Woo Hoo!! However, in the beginning, I was a little apprehensive about ordering my kit because I thought some of the colors might break during shipping. However, they used tons of bubble wrap and everything was perfectly intact!!!


The palette includes matte and shimmer colors and if you pay for shipping cost you receive a 5pc brush set, six glitter eye shadow colors, and nail stickers. I am so pleased with my purchase. In my next few post, I will do a couple of swatches for you all and take a few pics after I have applied some color on my lids..................SO STAY TUNED!!

SURPRISE..........I'm Back!!!

I know I haven’t posted anything in a week and that’s because I AM BACK IN LITTLE ROCK!!! Woo Hoo!! I will be here for two weeks. YAY!! However, my 1st week has already finished!! Sheesh!! Nonetheless, it has been great being back home. Everything feels so much bigger and spacious here. I was absolutely excited to see all my family and friends. Oh yeah, did I mention they were in for a shock of a lifetime. Yep!! No one knew I was coming home except my mom. When I tell you I shocked them all……………..I shocked them all!! It was fantastic!


Anyway, I have exactly one week left and I don’t know if I am looking forward to going back to Japan. I am enjoying being home. Well, I will keep you all posted and let you know the outcome………………………………………………….

Drinking in Japan

My two favorite drinks in Japan.

This one is Hot Lemon Tea that you can purchase out of the vendor machine for 130 yen. Oh my gosh, it's the best thing to drink when you want something soothing and relaxing to the soul. I usually drink this while I'm on the platform waiting on the train to go to work in the cold.

Now, this drink is the bomb also!! It's by Minute Maid, but I have never seen it in the States. It doesn't taste like grape juice it taste more like .....hmm....I can't really describe the taste, but it is good. The added bonus to this drink is the gelatin cubes of aloe inside. Oh my gosh, this is absolutely to die for. Loves it!

The City!!

Last week Wednesdy, after leaving work, I discovered I had forgotten the key to the house. I decided that I would go into the city (Shinjuku) and do some unneccesary shopping and wait for Alex to get off from work. While I was there, I decided to take a couple of pictures of the night life in the city. So, here are the pictures for your viewing pleasures.........ENJOY!!

This  building is where I did my shopping, it has tons of floors.

The Empire State Building in Japan?

The busy streets of Shinjuku

They already had Christmas lights out......lighting up the city

Isn't it beautiful.....

Of course........Krispy Kreme

The building above is where I bought my Halloween costume.

Lunchtime in Japan

Another one of my student's lunches..................I had to take a pic!!

MEOW!!

Do you remember me previously asking for help on my Halloween costume? Well, only my best friend chimed in and suggested a few good ideas (Beyonce, Tyra Banks, and Mary J ), however, I decided to keep it simple this year for Halloween. I was a cat. I know right?? Well, there's always next year. Check out the pics below......

After spending the afternoon at the park with the kids it was time to go home, eat, and take a nap. Later that evening we all decided to go to Club Pure in Shibuya because it was the happening spot for the night. When we arrived at 2a.m. the club was packed and we still had to wait in a long line to get inside. Finally, when we made it inside it was sooo hott. I was ready to leave. Needless to say, the night was somewhat of a bust because the club was too crowded for my liking.
