LOTD, learning Korean, new dress!

For my birthday I asked for Rosetta Stone: Korean (levels 1 & 2) from my parents.  I just started using it a few days ago, and I've been using it a little over an hour every day so far.


I'm going to Korea in May with my fiance to meet his parents!  I hope I can hold basic conversations with them in Korean by then.   I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Anyhowwww I'm having a late birthday party/practice bachelorette party this Saturday.  One of my friends is home in Michigan from Korea, and another friend is driving up from Kentucky and I'm sooo excited to see them!  The theme is "Pretty in Pink"  (LOL I did not pick the theme) so everyone has to wear PINK!

Tae (aka fiance, I don't use his name often on blog) got me this dress for my party (even though he's not invited!)  In general it's not my style, but it fits the "pink theme" and is super flattering on ;)

So here is a LOTD from Saturday night.  I was going out to meet some friends for cocktails, so I did some dark "evening eyes."  Haaaaaa.

I don't feel like listing the products unless you want to know what any of them are specifically, then I'll let you know!

Also, the fingernail polish I'm wearing in my "Asian Survival Kit" post is called "Off With Her Red" by OPI and it's GREAT.  I got it for $3 and it's the perfect matte red.  I've had it on for almost 2 full weeks and it still looks great!

"Asian Survival Kit" and FOTD!

Sorry I've been MIA.  I have no excuse for it.  Now that's covered!

I have some fun pictures to post!  First I want to show you all a Christmas present I got from Verina in Singapore!  She calls it the "Official Asian Survival Kit" and I love it!  I've never tried any asian makeup/beauty products before, and she even included circle lenses!  THANK YOU VERINA!  I  love everything!

Pictures~~

Unfortunately it's not packaged as cute as it was originally, because my fiance picked it up from the post office and opened it before I got to do so (I gave him the OK).  I'm sure he ate half the candy before I even saw it, too!  :P

Perfect purse-size!  I've been using so much hand lotion to keep my hands pretty now that I've got  engagement bling!

I am eating this right now :)

maroon lenses!  These look so cool on (images below)

"Jeweling Eyes"  sparkly eyeshadow!

Definitely cannot read any of this ahaha

Really tasty candy (some of it's gone already) and Hello Kitty pencil!

I loveeee this peachy lipstick!  I don't have anything this color so its perfect!

Face masks... this makes me feel fancy!  

Thanks for the gift, Verina!  You will definitely be getting a gift in return ;) I will just have to look for some goodies that are equally cool!  <3 

Now for some FOTD pics from today wearing the new lenses!  I am also wearing the lipstick and the eyeshadows from the asian kit!  Do you see the transformation from white girl to asian yet??

I will take better quality photos someday, but for now this is what you all get!

Do I look asian with this pose?  Haha

Super coooool!  And also, I'm into very natural mascaras lately, which is new for me.

LOTD winter makeup/ blog award

News:  I have been engaged for one week now!  7 days, and he didn't change his mind and run for the hills... yet.  

Still can't get over how beautiful the ring is, and he picked it out on his own!  I am a spoiled, spoiled girl.

Rinny gave me my first ever blog award, thanks girlfrennnnn!  Hard to believe I'm not getting nominations all the time, right? Ha!  

I will now pass this award to 15 other bloggers.  I have a few ladies in mind who may or may not still be blogging, but I will tag them anyway.  Also, I will try to give the award to people who don't already have it... but honestly I have no clue.  :P
