Remember to check out your local thrift store

    Hello everyone!
I went to a thrift store over the weekend while looking for Halloween things, and I ended up buying a giant decorative Japanese fan, and these:

I think they are food magnets, because they come with a small magnet, but the directions are in Japanese so I just used pictures to do this.

The materials came like this...
And turned...
Into..
THIS!!!

 This says "Gift for you"

And I think it came out pretty good. I think the best one is the one that has a powder that looks like crushed almonds on the left, then the gold thread that looks like gold leaf or something with a "chocolate" heart <3, and finally, ( the one I made that got stuck in an awkward stage...) white chocolate bands around the edge.
   My favorite one is the heart one~ ( Shh..! Don't tell the others!)

   I'm making the fish one (from the first picture) and the directions are even MORE confusing.   *Ahem..* The directions are in Japanese. The PICTURES are even more confusing. I'll post it when I'm done~

So for now...
Ja Mata~ ... (It means bye!)

Hey! Random stuffs~

    Hi people,
( explanation for vocabulary is at the bottom~) I know it's been awhile but...

So since I haven't posted a project lately, I have decided to...
COSPLAY*
I am an anime* lover. An otaku. ( an anime nerd.) So lately, I will just go to a store to buy grocery's like usual. EXCEPT...
I wear a cosplay wig.
And I go out in public.
 And I watch people stare and the like. I started doing this a couple of days ago, and it's quite fun. Some people complimented me. One guy said "You're awesome. Keep rocking.", and just walked away. It's really amazing when people have the courage to talk to a stranger. So I came to talk about my cosplay wig but...


OOOOkay. Starters for self-esteem.
1. Don't care what anyone thinks if you want to be yourself. I AM NOT SAYING TO DO NOTHING AND BE LAZY. I AM SAYING, IF  YOU WANT TO BE PEPPY, BE PEPPY. IF YOU WANT TO BE GOTH, BE GOTH. DON'T FOLLOW TRENDS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO "~fit in~".  Just be yourself.
2. If people try to drag you down for being "weird", ignore them. Being "weird" is fun. Don't let them judge you for that.
3. Whatever you do, DO NOT, I REPEAT: DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP FOR NOT FITTING IN. WHO CARES?!? Not me. I do not care if you fit in.
//Bonus~//
Don't be mean. Because that is horrible, and just never do it.

* cosplay- dressing up as a character from a movie, T.V. show, anime, manga*, video game, ect. Dressing up for a contest, convention or just for fun.
* anime- Japanese cartoons, usually based on manga.
*manga- Japanese comic books.
Okay, so I don't really have anything else to say. Sooo...

>//U//<

Bye bye~

Honey~Lemon

Hi everyone~
   I'm back! I'm happy that I didn't take a long time to post this time! I made something called a "Honey-lemon drink".  I got this recipe from YouTube, a post by Ochikeron, and I really love her videos! You can look for this video on YouTube because I'm having problems attaching the video.... >///^///<
Please subscribe to her! I also updated the format of my blog, I hope it's easier to navigate now!
(by the way, this is for people with VERY sweet taste! Make sure to test the drink before adding more mix!)

Honey~Lemon drink/ slices

• 2 lemons
• 10.6 oz bottle of honey
• a jar
• knife
• cutting board
• ( for the lemons slices) plastic wrap
• boiling water
• a large pot

1. Gather ingredients.
2. Boil some water in a pot.
3. Fill the jar with boiling water and pour then the water out (to sanitize the jar).
4. While the jar is drying, cut the lemons into thin slices. !!!REMOVE LEMON SEEDS!!!
5. When the jar is dry, pour a little honey in the center of the jar; then layer 4 slices of lemon on top.
6. Then alternate putting honey and lemon in the jar. (I first layered honey at the bottom of the jar, but you can layer lemons if you like.
7. Keep alternating the honey and lemon until you run out of lemon.
8. Pour the leftover honey on top of the lemon slices.
9. Put the jar in the fridge. Keep the jar in the fridge for 3 days, and shake once a day.

~ 3 days later~

1. Shake the jar 1 more time.
2. Make a glass of hot/cold water ( depending on the weather).
3. Pour some of the honey~lemon liquid into the glass of water ( taste the water when you add the mix because it is extremely sweet)
4. Add as many lemon slices as you want.
5. Wrap the lemons to save for later because they turn bitter if they are in the mix too long.

^///U///^ 

See you next time and enjoy~

Rainbow milk

Hi! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a looooong time! More blogs to come. Here's a summer experiment called, "Rainbow milk", But DO NO DRINK THIS!

Here's the materials that you will need:

•  Whole milk
•  Dawn dish soap 
•  A small bow to pour a little soap in
•  Food coloring
•  plastic disposable plate
•  At least 1 Q-tip

1. Pour the milk into the plate until it is completely covering the bottom of the plate.

2. Wait for the milk to settle, it shouldn't be moving

3. Add 3-5 drops of food coloring to the milk in separate areas of the plate

4. Dip the Q-tip in the soap and wipe off the excess soap on the side of the bowl

5.  Slowly lower the Q-tip into one of the dots of food coloring (it helps count down from 10), and leave it there and be amazed. Repeat this with each dot of food coloring.

I'll post another one soon....bye for now.

Clouds of Clean!!!

Hi everyone,
      I am SOOOOO sorry this is late but I still did make a activity at the last minute...( actually I made it like a week ago but I didn't have any time to take pictures... Or post it...)


Okay, first order of business, I am taking sewing class at a place called Kuni Island Fabrics and it is an AWESOME sewing class! Thank you Kuni! You guys taught me how to actually use a sewing machine!!! ( I really have one, but I had- still have- no idea how to use it. :D  ) I wanted to show everyone how the finished product looks like.

This is an iPad case, I have an adorable red button and I completely forgot to remember to sew it on until now, but I can do that later.

The craft I have planned is a kids dream, blowing stuff up in a microwave. Now parents, do not be afraid. This is soap, it will turn into a big fluffy cloud of soap( only Ivory brand bar soap) . Supervise your children and WARNING: THIS IS AN EXTREMELY FUN PROJECT.  JUST DO NOT DO IT FOR TOO LONG. 

 You use only 3 things!

1. Microwave 

2. Ivory Brand bar soap

3. Wash cloth or Paper towels

steps

1. Put the cloth or towel inside the microwave.

2. Put the bar of Ivory soap on top of the towel.

3. Close microwave door and microwave for 4 minutes but watch very carefully, the soap will become a very fluffy cloud and you need to stop the soap from rising to the top of the microwave. I most likely will not take 4 minutes to fluff, but when it is done becoming a cloud, stop the microwave and let it cool. The cloud will deflate a little, but if you stop the cloud in the making enough, the deflating will stop

4. Remember to let the cloud cool down from 5-10 minutes for it to harden. The microwave will smell like the scent of soap you used so just keep the microwave door open for about 5 minutes and it won't smell like soap anymore.

5. MOST IMPORTANT STEP- HAVE FUN!!!

Also this is SO not wasteful, you can still use the soap and the soap still works, it is just oh, I don't know, about 20x bigger!

Thank you everyone/ faithful readers ^  ^  !
