Some trends this season – HIGE [moustache] print

Tips on shading
This magazine is targeted at high school students [i used to read this when i was 14 hahah] and some of the sections/features/columns are so weird [did i really read this religiously when i was young hahahaa?] There is a section about things one should change to catch the attention of a boy and what they prefer to see.
For example, your school bag should not be a big mess or have too many deodorants [or anti sweat]. There shouldnt be trash in your pencil case and your phone screen should be clean too.
Wow if this magazine is accurate, boys now sure have changed [back in the day, i was pretty sure boys didnt care if your bag is actually messy or tidy hahaha] .
Thank goodness i am not a single teen anymore cos getting the attention of a boy these days is clearly too hard XD
The gift this month was from CECIL McBEE [LOVE]
A pair of CECIL McBEE Glasses
These glasses are mock glasses and do not come with a lens. I have a few pairs of such glasses [no lens] , i wear them when i go to yoga with no makeup on XD
The logo is printed on the side of the glasses
Next month’s issue comes with a fully reversible pouch

Thanks Missy
Hope u had a good time in Japan.
Pretty nails! I love looking through Japanese magazines. Even though I have no clue what the words are.
Awesome nails! Question: I always thought Za was a Japanese brand…it`s not? Where is it from then? And I always thought that Za was in Japan since Jun Hasegawa has been a model for Za for so long XD Apparently my assumptions have been way off hahaha
Nope its not a japanese brand XD
[i had to google this hahahah]
as far as i know its from taiwan or hong kong. not japan
when they started out, their model was Karen Mok from Hong Kong.
Your nails are so cute!
I was tempted to buy this issue too, but I ended up ordering steady. instead.
Ooooh, when I was a teen I always read those “how to get a boyfriend” guides. They never worked though, probably because I always went to all-girls schools! Next months Nameko pouch freebie looks so cute! I’m definitely going to buy it!
Well, now I know my problem – messy bag!
Have fun in Singapore, I am lusting after Gardens by the Bay after seeing it on TV.
