Oops, I missed posting this on Halloween day. It’s not like I ever go out and participate, but I do love the whole feel. I think most people here already celebrated last weekend since yesterday was a Thursday, but I’m not sure. There were people in costumes last night too. But yeah, just like that it’s on to Christmas. I don’t have any super impactful memories or anything specifically related to the holidays, but something about the gaudiness and the little jingles and whatnot makes me happy. 😅 Refusing to partake in the all the shopping and gift giving makes it even better.

Now on to other news! The heavens have blessed me with work from home for a month or so. 🧚‍♀️ I’ll also be going to Tokyo in a couple weeks to stay in a fancy hotel I could never ever afford… The only thing I’m really looking forward to besides rolling around in bed is getting to go to the Nigerian restaurant I went to years ago again lol But more on all that later this month.

Over the weekend I went with my friend to Harbs, the giant cake place. Then we walked to the pro nail tech store around the corner. I don’t know why but you can shop there as a regular person without a license; you just need to make a member’s card. I’m not 100% sure but there might be certain items that only pros can purchase? Either way, the store’s called TAT and it’s great for things like nail files, stickers, color gel, etc. I got some brown color gel and did my nails on Sunday. 💅 Don’t look at my dry cuticles. Debated on going full out with nail tips and acrylic but ended up just putting gel on my natural nails.

And after all that we went shopping. I needed to gather a few things to ship to my mom and sister who are visiting Miami now. My sister ending up paying for my NARS order since they don’t accept foreign cards… That’s a whole other topic I want to get into one day. I wanted to pay them back, so now their package is on the way. 📨

And then we finished off the day with dinner at a fancy cafe. The workers there wear maid outfits, but it wasn’t really a maid cafe? No dudes too. The cola float was very nice, but also very expensive. The omurice was delicious!
