Front Braid Scan (52) 
Well I’m never going onto my balcony without my phone again! 
Went out to water the flowers today and the door f*cked up and locked me out! 
I had to wait for an hour in 92°F heat until Mike got home from work!
He saw me and jokingly said “you locked out huh!” When I responded with an honest & whiny “yeeeeeeeeeeeees…” he couldn’t believe it! Haahaaa~ 
Lesson-learned 
I just laid down on the bench & listened to community gossip going on in the streets below… and the cicadas. Lovely cicadas. 
And an ice cream truck playing Christmas jingles.
I scanned this in from Aug Popteen. It’s how I’ve been wearing my hair nearly every day lately. Braided front bang! Sorry the quality sucks. The hair arranges were on non-glossy, matte paper which scans in crappily.
Funnily enough someone at work today asked if I dyed my hair darker??!! 
And just after I posted the hair dyes… strange…. 
I stopped using the John Frieda “Sheer Blonde” shampoo + conditioner about a month or so ago. 
Maybe it’s starting to look more dull & less golden now because of that, LOL 
I switched to the John Frieda Root Awakening shampoo + conditioner and was unimpressed. So I bought Shiseido’s Tsubaki stuff again, LOL. It’s been a while since I’ve used it and I’ve always been happy with it… cept the price, LOL.

Just A Lot of THINGS (45)
So my precious Japanese Bookstore is closing. 
Found out yesterday they’ll be shutting their doors the end of this month. 
Not sure if it’s financial or personal (I think it’s more personal on the owner’s part,) but knowing doesn’t really change things. 
So my subscriptions will be refunded 
or possibly transferred~ 
Because there’s a Japanese market next door called Maruichi that might take over the magazine subscriptions. Neither store is REALLY sure whether or not that will happen though. 
Thank god I went to pick up PopSister Friday because an hour later the LA distributor of the magazines called me about it! 
Asking if I was still interested in getting “Popteen” because they’ll send me an invoice and I can pick it up at Maruichi’s…
I’M SO CONFUSE.
LOL. 
I’ll just go to the stores again next weekend and see if they have any further information on what’s gonna happen.
And I like how I fuckin’ jinx’d myself 2 entries ago blabbing on about other Japanese stores closing & praying mine never would or else I’d die… WTF ME!
Sigh…
I don’t WANT to go back to buying magazines online~~~ like my college days. 
It’s really depressing …
so I’m not going to think about it anymore………………….. 
So yea, I picked up PopSister AND Scawaii. Scawaii had that ballin’ giant ribbon hair tie 
as the free gift! 
Hell yes!!!!! I can’t wait to wear it! Maybe tomorrow for a red, white, and blue 
thing or something 
I got a lot done today too~! 
Everything I wanted to do ALL WEEKEND actually! I laid out & tanned, got some take out food, walked a lot downtown, and so on~~
Saw a white squirrel while downtown too! 
He lives near the Washington Monument… perhaps he’s attempting to blend into “his surroundings” hence the marble white fur!! 
Some outfit snaps.
Sorry I haven’t been taking them as much because I leave my camera by my computer and am too lazy to walk across the house and get it while I’m dressing, ha!
But here are a few from yesterday & today. 
Speaking of snaps, I wanted to post PopSister street snaps!
From last month’s & this month’s. 
I like the street snap section because it gives you a good idea of how different “real life” girls are working the trends into their daily wardrobe. 
The magazine spreads are great & all too of course! 
But I’m interested in what catches the editor’s/stylist’s eye on the streets too.

Magazines & Blister Defense (46)
Well I had more Popteen scans to share but Photoshop decided to be a jerk and crash with all of them unsaved…. so yeaaaaaaaaa~ 
hahahaa~
I received the July issue of Ranzuki today! I purchased it from the lovely Sara Mari here! 
I love Ranzuki~ I should really get a subscription but I always talk myself out of it. My magazine store doesn’t get it in so I can’t just “pick it up” and of course I could buy it online, but then again, I always talk myself out of it~ But I really do love the casual looks in this mag. Really the best amekaji and surf styles
I also got an issue of Better Homes & Gardens today… ??? Turns out it’s a year subscription gift from my Grandmother! A’WWWWWWWW! I used to gaze at this magazine at her house as a kid dreaming “some day~ I’ll have a big house & garden!” 
But now that I’m older (with a condo & a balcony garden instead, lol,) I still find it to be a helpful magazine with recipes, container garden ideas, and organization ideas! 
I look for to the HOLIDAY ISSUES so much 
I used that Blister Defense stick with a pair of my stiffest, blister-causing heels today! I have to say, I’m impressed~~ I mean, the concept is simple. It’s basically just an oversized chap-stick you apply to your foot 
(lol) where blisters can occur. I reapplied it a few times today, just to be sure and NO BLISTERS! I even decided to push it and wear the red pumps to & from the train station! I rarely wear my heels to the train! Instead I pack my heels in a bag and wear flip flops or walking shoes. It’s not a miracle worker but it seriously will aid in the prevention of un-comfy shoe-caused blisters! 
I’d buy it again~
Here are the red heels and my work coordinate from today~~~ 
Unrelated but, isn’t this scarf pretty???! I got it from Old Navy. I had seen it when I first went in to look at bathing suits. I was hesitant to buy it at first because I wasn’t sure what to use it for (it’s a huge wrap scarf!) So I kept passing it up, but Mike bought some clothes here the other day so I broke down & got it.
Figured I could at least use it as a bathing suit cover up, or a wrap skirt, or wrap tube top, or just a scarf, or giant head scarf pirate style…. HA! I told you it was huge!
It sorta reminded me of the Spring 2008 Alba Rosa collection that featured Rinka! 
Pfffffffffffft btw I didn’t even notice Emihamu was in last month’s Popteen Pop Girls section! Hahahahaa! I was flippin’ through & saw it tonight. She was opposite of the newest Popteen model, Carolina, and I must have been distracted by the fact Carolina is only 13, hahahaa!
Oh yea, AND SURPRISE! Blogging 2 nights in a row! haahaa!
