Hello Everyone!
Just letting you guys know that Target is featuring a sale on their coffee-makers! If you needed a new one, then this is no better time for it.
I purchased that Mr. Coffee 4-Cup pictured above from Target and paid only $15 for it! It's the cutest thing ever and very low maintenance. This is my first coffee machine (I'm more a tea drinker), so as a "virgin" to the home-brewer, I am very excited and happy to use it! Very easy to use. No wonder people like making their own coffee : D
Take care,
W

Personals
How tall are you?
Short 5'1"
It's very difficult to find 29" inseams.
What is your shoe size?
5
It's also very difficult to find cute shoes for my feet.
What color is your hair?
Dark Brown
What is your ethnicity?
Chinese
What country do you live in?
California, USA
Styles
What is your favorite online shopping website?
Depends on what I'm shopping for. I don't like to limit myself to one place because I'm always looking for the best item at the best price.
What would you describe your style as?
I hope that it is minimalist, but classy. I love colors of all kinds and my themes change with my mood and season. I look to high fashion for inspiration. I like to buy stuff that has a timeless quality to them so I can always re-use them in other outfits a couple years down the road. I keep an eye out for anything that will look good on me, when it comes down to it. Right now, I enjoy dark skinny jeans because they don't hide my small feet and the dark wash is work appropriate; a nice flowing top with a delicate print or a solid-colored lean tee with detailing; clarks artisian's shoe collection; and cardigans.
What is your favorite shoe style?
Clarks. I'm on my feet all day long, especially at the art department, and their shoes are padded so well that it feels like I'm walking on clouds all day. I'm saving up for a pair of nice black heels for when I want to dress up on a night out on the town.
Lists
Which list would you say you add to the most?
I Wish. I'm always desiring something. Kaboodle is great for that; helps me funnel my wants into something else, like making lists. After it passes, I usually shovel it into it's appropriate list "catagory." It also helps me figure what I actually need to buy as well.
Which list is your personal favorite?
I don't have one, really. I like all the lists, including other people's because I like to see what other people put into Kaboodle.
What is your one pet peeve in lists?
Organizing. I always like to put my most recent additions at the front so you don't have to go shuffling through everything to find my new item, and to change up the "cover" every once in a while. After a while, usually once I get new stuff added, I'll put the "old" stuff into their appropriate catagory.
What do you always make sure to do with your lists?
I don't like long lists with pages and pages of items that I know most of you won't ever really look through, so I try to clean them up after a while, removing old things that I may not be into anymore.
Favorites
What is your favorite food?
I love all kinds of food; I'm not afraid, and I'm willing to try anything at least once. If I know that someone out there is eating it, I want to try it too.
What is your favorite drink?
Hot, unsweetened tea; usually black or green.
What is your favorite color?
Orange, but it is not the color I always wear ;)
What is your favorite dessert?
I like fruit salads, or something really small and sweet (because if it was too big, then I couldn't eat it all).
5 Random Facts
1. I work as a graphic designer at a print shop, and know more about paper than I will ever care to know.
2. I don't look I'm 23 years old.
3. I like 78F weather, when people tell me that 72F is hot, I like to say, "It could be warmer..." LOL
4. I shop the sales at every opportunity I get, but when it comes to lip gloss, I have almost no problem plunking down $20 for lip gloss.
5. I hate cleaning the bathroom because I always imagine all the dust, hair, and germs crawling around whenever I am cleaning it. I can't help it!

Hello everyone again!
Today's topic that I'm thinking about is high makeup fashion. Is it worth the price? Granted, I am a big fan of many higher end brands, and do own several of these items here and there. But I still squeal in glee whenever I find something at Walmart that does a job just as good, or even better, than a $2468437 item :)
I understand that there are some things that you just can't skimp on, like a good foundation, blush brush, or what-have-you. We all have that special item in our inventory that we're willing to spend the money on because we just couldn't find a good cheap substitute.
Which leads to my question here; Has anyone tried out the angled brush from E.L.F? I was reading the review on this product and a user said that she uses that brush for her MAC liquid eyeliner.
$24 vs $3, what do you think? I'm interested in what you like, think, and use :)
Thank you for reading!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my blog last time!
This time, it's bags and purses.
I'm a fan of large totes and bags. I go to work, school, and I take care of my sister and brother when my parents are busy. I am usually out and about on all kinds of errands and work. It's obvious why sometimes I need a large bag that can hold everything that I will need throughout the day.
However, my parents recently brought a new business, so I've been busy trying to get their paperwork straighten out. I invited my boyfriend, who is struggling with his own personal issues, to come out for a change of scene, clear his head, and to help us out with the family business while he is here. He likes to go out to places, unwind with some friends; that kind of thing. We also talked about making some plans to head out and take trips to the SF bay area (we live about 2 and half hours away from it).
I'm excited at the possible trips and outings that we'll take together, but I realize, I don't want to lug around a large bag with me whenever I head out to the city, haha.
So ladies, what do you suggest? There are so many styles, materials, colors, price ranges; I've spent this past week looking around, and I need a head start. I've look at these styles (and I might need a new wallet) so anything that you guys can recommend, I would greatly appreciate.
One more thought before I close this, what do you guys think about those "flat" (checkbook) wallets? I have a regular one that I've had for a long time, but sometimes when I have too much change, cash, and credit cards, it won't close properly. Do you think a "flat" one would be better?
Thanks everyone :)

I'm Asian, so I have short, straight lashes and a mono-lid. While I'm quite comfortable with the assets I've been born with, I've always had difficulty creating a beauty look for myself, especially since most makeup models have eyelids. These days, Asians usually get eye surgery to create an extra fold that couples as an eyelid, so makeup designs for the monolid seems scarce. It wasn't until recently that I now have some idea on how to apply makeup for myself. Some of it is research I've done on makeup palettes for Asians, and some is self taught. But lately, I've been really into
eye makeup, and I'm a little curious about mascara and eyeliner.
For eyeliner, it is great for emphasising the almond shape of my eyes; after all, I was born with it, so if you've got it, flaunt it. It extends and widens my eyes a little and if I curl the eyeliner at the end ever so slightly, I give myself an Egyptian flair. Since I started with black and am getting the hang of using it, I'm interested in using more liquid and color. I've been looking around and seeing what there is availible, and I've been eyeing Kat Von D and Urban Decay because they have a good selection of fun and wild colors to play around with.
For mascara, I've got a couple samples of Estee Lauder and Clinique mascara, but neither of them have provided a lasting curl on my stubborn eye lashes. I do use an eyelash curler before applying the mascara, but the curl becomes less potent rather quickly as the day wears on. I'm wondering if I should get a curled wand and see if that helps any, but there are always mixed reviews. I have been looking at Lacome because a reviewer that said she was Asian with straight lashes used this and it's been her staple for mascara since.
So my Kaboodlers, I'm hoping and wondering if anyone has tried any of the products I have mentioned and their thoughts on them. I'm always open to other suggestions.
Thanks for reading my first post :)
