Update + kcon?!

   Hey guys, I feel like I always apologize for being so slow at updating that I should just give up saying sorry OTL". Anyways, August is a big month for me and I've been so busy that I haven't had time to update. I'm starting college next week and i'm extremely nervous. I haven't had help during the whole process, so i'm just anxious about everything. No matter how much I tried to ask questions or for help I get brushed off ahhhh. I know this point in your education you're no longer "babied", but no one has really prepared me well enough for this. With that said when I learn more about college and expand my experience with it I hopefully can help those who felt the same way I felt later on.

Also with school starting all my friends are leaving for school. I'm an only child (sadly not like the ones you here that are spoiled rotten OTL completely the opposite) and i'm quite restricted with everything so I will be staying here and since I won't get much aid I will be going to  a CC which I find not bad at all. People always think about going to the big colleges and that's how you'll make it in life, but honestly that's complete bullshit. Yes, going to a "popular"/"big" college will help you with networking etc., but I find that if you have the drive, passion, and goals in mind you'll do just fine. Ugh, sorry I was off topic right? Back to what I was saying about my friends...since my friends are all moving out to dorm i've been spending some time with them, not a lot but a good amount that it's been taking my blogging time away. I'm really sad that they're moving, but in all honesty...as harsh as this sounds..this will really test our friendship. School+distance will be in the way, but it's not hard to send someone a short message here and there when you're at lunch or having dinner. This will honestly be the test of our friendship and I've gone through a lot in my "younger" school days that i'm no longer going to be the girl waiting all the time and pulling the weight in friendships. I know a few of them will keep in contact (hopefully) so that makes me a bit happy. If you guys ever have friend troubles or just troubles at all don't be afraid to contact me here or if it's a bit more personal you can DM me on twitter @nojamsjimin if you ever need someone to talk to and need advice. I've gone through A LOT of crazy things..I may not be the best out there to come for advice, but I can share some of my experiences with you ^_____^. I'm always someone who sees both sides even if it's my own fight, so hopefully I can help you guys if you ever need it!!!!

I'm sorry this post is a bit long, just trying to touch on a few topics I feel strongly about?? I'll quit my rambling and go on with a big event that happened in this month...and if you haven't guessed what it is..well please read my title carefully next time HAHA it's kcon!!! Kcon was truly a blessing and I was so glad I was able to afford it cause I usually pay for everything myself (other than for the house+phone bill+home meals) and I was afraid I couldn't afford it this year, but I did and i'm honestly feeling just so blessed (wow can this sentence be anymore repetitive?). I got p2 standing seats for both days and let me tell you.........standing close to the stage+fangirls/boys = hell.....just kidding it wasn't THAT bad. I think it's an experience everyone should have once in their life, because the feeling of truly being on your feet, cheering, and being close to the stage is just an amazing feeling. Kcon once again was unorganized, especially the second day, because they tried to line up p2 standing people in order of the number on your band and it was just a damn mess, because there were over 2k people JUST for p2 and they made us get in line by number in the hot sun for a few hours and it was just horrid. I got completely sunburned after those two days, but in all honesty it was fun because I was able to enjoy it with two friends i've gotten to known better, I got to see my favorites live and up close, and the merch+food were an amazing bonus too. I'm deciding if I want to write a "review"/post about kcon like more in depth, but that might be boring for everyone so I won't even bother.

This post was extremely long and horribly written so I apologize once again if I bored you or made you cringe. Please enjoy these pictures I took when I was at kcon! My phone quality was bad and it was hard to focus, because everyone was moving but I hope you enjoy these pictures (taken from my ig and tumblr) anyways xx.



 I swear it wasnt empty..we just got in really early HAHA

June Favorites



Hey guys! Today i'm going to share my June favorites and i'm so sorry that this is really late, I've been really busy ((and lazy)) so please excuse the lateness of this post ; A;.





Starting with my favorite fashion items~ On the left you got my nike roshes and on the right you have a pair of socks from Urban Outfitters and it's of bart simpson mooning people and it's so adorable. I honestly recommend roshes, because they are one of the most comfortable shoes on the planet. Many people are jumping on the bandwagon of getting these and I can understand why! They are like walking on clouds and they are super cute qqqq. The socks are just like any pair of socks with a humorous/cute twist. They spice up any outfit and UO has a lot of these type of socks so you guys should go check them out.



Moving onto foods..i'm literally drooling just thinking about these ugh. Pretzel Crisps are a twist on the classic pretzel snack, but I personally like these better, because they are thin and extra crispy. It's like a chip form of a pretzel? It's quite hard to explain, but they have many flavors and original is probably still my favorite of them all. They come in bags that are easy to seal (seals like a ziplock) so it's really convenient to carry around and not make a mess. On the right is my holy grail cookie from Trader Joe's and honestly I don't want to bore you with anymore details, but you guys must try it out if you like cookies, chocolate, or almonds HAHA.

My two favorite makeup items for june has got to be the Anastasia dipbrow pomade and the etude house collagen moistfull moisturizer. The moisturizer is a bit thick, but it does a great job in moisturizing my face even though it takes a bit of time for it to set if you apply it all over your face. The Anastasia dipbrow pomade has weaseled it's way into my daily make-up routine (well whenever I put it on that is) and I really do love it. It's a holy grail item for many people, because it lasts long and has great pigmentation. The only thing I can say is that if you're new to doing your eyebrows or you don't have a shape it might be hard for you to fill in your brows, because you have to have a steady hand and make sure you don't put too much or you will look like drizzy drake. It's pigmented, but if you don't have a control you might put too much. I recommend you swipe the brush on either your hand or cap before applying the pomade. Other than that it's amazing and it last a lot longer than the brow whiz pencil (?).

Last but not least my favorite albums of the month. BAP's concept this time around for Where are you? is a bit different from their usual bad ass style and I really do like it and I have no idea why people don't. It's calming and the songs on the album is something I can listen to while sipping a lemonade/having a picnic or something along those lines. In contrast we have BTS's skool luv affair album which is filled with hard hitting songs and a few "sweeter" songs. I really do love both bands a lot so I hope you can listen to the albums and tell me your thoughts. Also i'm seeing BTS in AUG. for kcon and if you're going as well I hope I can meet you guys there keke.


Sorry for the really bad and rushed descriptions for everything. I promise i'll make a better post next time HAHA ((literally what I promise all the time, but no results........)) See you next time ~
