Day One in Palo Alto

So like...  3 weeks ago I went up to Palo Alto/Silicon Valley/San Fransisco for the weekend! and because I'm a lazy blogger/school I'm only getting around to blogging about it now. Actually when I found out about my acceptance into the Japan Program was my first evening there!

I was good about pictures for the first two days and then I stopped. I didn't want my experience to be hindered by living behind the lens! I also felt bad about imposing on my family by taking like a million and a half photos though the insisted they didn't mind....The hotel We stayed at was the 4 Seasons. It was beauitful.. though just off the freeway.

 

The first night we ate at this AMAZING Vietnamese restaurant- Tamarine. 

OH MY GOD! RIDICULOUS.

The  flavors were SO clear and unique but at the same time they blended beautifully. It was truly a food experience.

The only unfortunate part were these two men sitting next to us. They were business men who had too much to drink and trying to one up each other. All the while not talking with each other but to each other. how they were flirting with the hot intern at work though they were married. Let me tell you, those girls werent flirting they were trying to tell them bugger off creep...

At one point it almost got to much and i wanted to walk over and tell them to act like self respecting adult men, stop drinking, go home and love their wives and daughters because quite honestly they will be the best thing to ever happen to those fucker. They will never surpass the amount of glory they had in High school and should stop acting like horny idiots and behave like Men. Angry...

The highlight of the meal was definitely the chocolate lava cake. like. OH MY GOD.

I definitely went home and just CRASHED after this full meal. 

On to Day Two...

Bad indoor lighting sorry!

I had actually had these lens about a 2 weeks prior to writing this but one of the lens was defective, it felt like it was scratching my eye and it felt sensitive even after i took it out.. The Princess Mimi Collection is known to have quite a lot of defects (not Geocolouredlenses fault at all) and i contacted them. They were SO helpful and kind thought and immediately sent out a replacement. I received it about 3 days before they said.

Design:  Quite Beautiful to me! I've been wearing these the past couple of days and its just like - i look in the mirror and am so happy! SUPER DOLL! Some people though think its kind of creepy in person- people not used to circle lens look.  I love the gradient and the limbal ring! Though it looks spiky SUPER up close i don't think it looks as obvious in person.

5/5

Comfort: I Forgot i was wearing them with in 5 minutes. I was a little apprehensive because i had had a defective lens at first and wasnt 100% with wearing contacts still. But once I used the new lens and im now used to lens- SO GOOD! I have VERY dry eyes and I wore these for 6 hours without needing eye drops completely unaware of them till the 30 minutes end of 6 hours. 

5/5

Enlargement: Almost Alien? Because of the dark outer ring it makes it seem smaller than the lens but i think its a nice balance because it is 15 mm. I probably wouldn't suggest these though without makeup.

5/5

Overall:My go to lens currently of my 2 sets. I LOOOOVE love love love the gradient and the blending. The pigment of the lens is beautiful and not SUPER obvious in natural light but definitely there. I now want the whole princess mimi set. seriously- these are amazing. I think the only downside is this collection has been known for having defects in the lens.

5/5

 

 Hope this has either entertained, or informed/helped you!

Small Update + BRB

Hey guys! So just a quick little thing, 

About a month ago I signed up for a website (bloggers). Its a sign up basis and free and it helps categorize and sort your blog and help when people are searching.

Well I was featured as the Editors Pick of the Day! Awesome MAX! Didnt expect it at all! Especially because I've only been signed up for a month or so. Now people are adding me like crazy. ON THERE.. Also, I got way more congrats than page views.. but WHATEVER..

To be honest I'm very grateful I just found this observation quite funny.

In other news: BRB! Till May 15th. School finals and I  want to make sure I pass my classes! I'm not doing as well as I'd like in Math (80%) and so I'm going to really settle down and focus. 

I will still try and make some posts but they will be less diligent.. And probably more pure text and ranting.. at odd hours.. cramming math homework into my brain. 

ALSO: I'm still debating going to Japan this summer. I REALLY want to go but my parents are looking into it and it seems there is till a lot of radiation. It will either be temporary effects and leaves my body within 2 weeks... OR ATTACKS MY WHOLE SYSTEM AND THEN I GET CANCER WHEN IM 40.

I did get my other half of the princess mimi lens courtesy of GeoColouredLenses They are ridiculous. In a great way. They told me 10-21 days.. GOT EM IN LIKE 7. AWESOME <3

They also Featured me on there blog: [x]

Well, anyways That was brief. 

Love
