[20 going on 21] [Feb. 28 2022 - Mar. 06 2022]
[20 going on 21] [Little things to celebrate the new season... :)]
Hello. I have some things to update you guys on because I’m kind of having a fun Monday.
Today’s a Monday,
[My microphone glitches for the first minute...] and I went to my class...
[BUT it will go away after that!! Apologies to my headphone-wearing viewers :')] at 12, and then I got lunch with my friend Hailey.
We got tacos and I literally got stuff all over my white shirt.
And then I had a really fun package to pick up.
And I had to go to go to our school’s actual mail building instead of the dorm mail room because the package was ginormous,
and you guys are not going to believe this because I got a ginormous PR package from GENTLE MONSTER and Jennie.
First of all, I love GENTLE MONSTER as a brand already.
Detached from BLACKPINK Jennie, I love GENTLE MONSTER.
You guys all probably know that I’m a big fan of BLACKPINK also, and I love Jennie, so them together…
and me getting the package was just…
it made me so happy!
And we picked up the package together. It was so big, we struggled so much to get it into the car,
and then we took that to my friend’s apartment and then we did a whole unboxing together,
and it was so fun, so I’ll insert that right now so you guys can also see.
[GENTLE MONSTER x JENNIE]
And I also had to attend my second class through Zoom so I could unbox that with my friend because I didn’t want to unbox it alone.
I wanted to make it more fun and enjoy it with a friend.
So I did that while having Zoom on the side, didn’t really pay attention,
but at least I technically did go to class by logging into Zoom, so that was that.
Now it’s already five, but I turned the camera on because I wanted to tell you guys that it is officially spring here now.
I mean, the weather’s always so good here that it’s always spring,
but we had a full week of wind and rain last week.
And I feel like starting from this week it’s just going to be sunny onward.
And currently, this is so heavy and way too hot for the weather right now,
[Why did I say "weather" like Anna from "Inventing Anna"]
[Why did I say "weather" like Anna from "Inventing Anna"] so I want to change it,
and I wanted to do that on camera to kind of kickstart the spring with you guys.
I have this box of my spring/summer comforter,
and replace that,
this one,
but I’m not sure if this is going to fit back in here because this is quite big.
Also, guys, the Squid Game cast is coming to our school today.
Isn’t that crazy? And I want to go so bad, because...
I deserve to go.
I love that show, I’m Korean, I want to see my fellow Korean actors and actresses,
and apparently it’s just for the film students so I didn’t get to ticket for the event,
and I don’t have a ticket and now I’m trying to go through the whole auction process that someone is doing for their ticket,
[People were holding AUCTIONS for these tickets.] and I don’t have a ticket and now I’m trying to go through the whole auction process that someone is doing for their ticket,
[I offered to pay $50 to this random person] which is just ridiculous. Can I just have the ticket?
[But they never responded back so... :D] which is just ridiculous. Can I just have the ticket?
I hope I can go, because I am willing to pay to go.
[It worked!!!] It worked.
And then we’re going to do some unboxing, because Urban Outfitters was kind enough...
[Thank you UO 3 #gifted] to send me some gifts from their spring collection,
so...
because my shirt is dirty right now, also my shirt is dirty from holding the big box from GENTLE MONSTER and carrying it,
so I need to change and I’m hoping that I get my ticket to the Squid Game event,
so I need to put on a different outfit.
I want to change into something that I just received so that I can wear it once and put it into the washer.
But first of all, I have this package and I have no idea what it is, and I’m kind of scared.
Whenever I receive a package that doesn’t say much about where it’s from, I get really scared to open it.
Oh, okay.
This is a COVID test.
Because I’m traveling for spring break and I need my own.
Then I have three separate packages from Urban Outfitters and it’s quite heavy.
First I have this tiny top, which is basically a bra top, but I thought it’d be nice to wear under...
[Ummm these are sooooo comfy...] sweatshirts or shirts as undergarment,
[I'll prob grab them in other colors soon!] sweatshirts or shirts as undergarment,
[Got mine in XS/S!] sweatshirts or shirts as undergarment,
or I can even wear it to yoga or something.
And then I’ll have everything linked down below if you guys want to check these out.
Oh my gosh.
I feel like this is so spring, and I’ve been seeing so many colorful pants...
[They're from the men's section] this year...
[I got a size 28, the smallest they had!] as a trend, so I really wanted to get something colorful,
and pink is my favorite color, so I couldn’t help but to get these pants,
and they’re from BDG, so they have the signature BDG embroidery, and then also has this stitched in the pocket.
They’re corduroy, not that thick. It’s perfect for spring.
I might wear that today because I want to stand out a little bit.
Every time I go to a panel event where famous people come to speak,
I always go the extra mile to put on an outfit that I know they’ll like, or even hair or makeup.
Makeup is a little hard now because we wear a mask,
but hair is a big thing, and then outfit. That’s a little tip for my fellow college students.
[Especially for my fellow business students... 3] That’s a little tip for my fellow college students.
We have this graphic tee.
It’s a t-shirt dress but I thought it’d be nice to wear as an oversized t-shirt with shorts,
or even a skirt underneath, and I just really loved the color and also the graphic is very cute.
I got these army green pants.
Cargo pants and they’re very in lately, so I wanted to jump on the bandwagon.
Bunch of pockets, this is also from BDG, so it has that signature embroidery.
We have this white shirt that looks very similar to the one I have right now, but it’s a little bit different,
because the texture of it is different, and also the button detail’s more delicate on this one while this one’s just a classic shirt.
I thought this would be perfect to wear as a beach cover-up with a bikini underneath.
And then, I actually ordered a couple of things from their loungewear collection,
because I’ve been very into matching pajama sets or loungewear sets.
First one is a brown set.
It comes with a Henley type crop top,
[Size: S] It comes with a henley type crop top,
and then these pants...
oh my gosh, these are going to be so comfortable.
[Size: S] oh my gosh, these are going to be so comfortable.
[These are my favorite pants right now...] They’re more of a flared pants,
[So soft and comfortable.] that go more tight around the top of your legs.
[They're easy to style + the knees don't stretch out easily.] that go more tight around the top of your legs.
This one I’m the most excited about because it’s in Terrycloth.
They feel like a towel.
[Size: S in both!!] They feel like a towel. Very oversized;
[I take this pullover everywhere I go now... 3] Very oversized... looks so comfortable.
I’m getting ready to go to the Bin today, and if you’ve never heard of the Bin, it’s basically a Goodwill,
so it’s a thrift store that sells clothes second hand.
But the Bin is the outlet of that, where the clothes that didn’t sell in a normal Goodwill goes to,
and it’s supposed to be a mess in there, so just bins and bins of clothes, literally.
The good side of that is you can get a whole bag of clothes for three, four dollars.
I'll give you that here, because I don't know if the color's a good option.
- This looks really good. - Yeah, it looks really G.
In my last vlog, or two vlogs ago, I showed you guys how I removed the gel nail at home.
And I’ve had bare nails for two weeks now,
but they’re starting to break and I haven’t done enough research to do my own acrylic tips/extensions,
so I just got these acrylic French nude press-on nails that you can buy at Target,
and I’ve heard good things about these actually, so I’m going to try them today and then for my next nails,
I’ll actually try the ones with gel nail polish, lamp, tips, everything like that.
Also, right now is the resting time of my day, right before dinner,
so I’ve been running around doing things and doing homework, doing assignments, taking my quiz and all that all day,
so I’m just going to watch some Netflix.
I’m watching "Twenty-One, Twenty-Five". Or is it "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One"?
I think literally all you do is put the glue on and press the nail until it sticks.
[These have such big pros AND cons...]
[I'll talk about them in depth in my next vlog... (I have a lot to say LOL)]
[Friday]
I need to give you guys a proper thrift haul because I know that I haven’t shown every piece on my body,
but I wanted to do a quick little life update because I have a couple of things I need to talk about.
I’ve actually been going to club meetings this semester, because last semester I feel like I only went once or twice and I stopped going.
But I’m trying to socialize more, meet more people this semester, so I’ve been going to social clubs.
A few days ago, I went to a club meeting where we had to do a scavenger hunt,
[thrifted these pants at the bin yesterday] A few days ago, I went to a club meeting where we had to do a scavenger hunt,
[thrifted these pants at the bin yesterday] and this is when I went to class with my thrifted pants.
[thrifted these pants at the bin yesterday] I really loved my outfit.
I did the whole scavenger hunt where they give you a whole list of things to find around campus,
then you have to be the first one to take a picture with every little thing that's on the list.
So of course people were running, and so was I,
and then I lost the hat that I was wearing,
and that is devastating to me, because I’m more sad about it than losing my Apple Pencil.
Because an Apple Pencil literally has no sentimental value to me whatsoever,
but that hat... I stole from my dad years ago, and I took it to the beach,
I wore it everywhere. I wore it to the gym, and I lost it.
And I tried to look for it. I walked around campus in the dark, and I couldn’t find it.
Also it matched my pants perfectly because my pants were also from Polo,
and the inside of the pants were the beige color that my hat was, but that happened.
And then today I am about to interview for a marketing agency, which is so exciting.
I did an internship with a non-profit company last semester.
Although it was a good experience, I realized how much I really liked being on the business side.
Businesses that are generating profit, trying to grow,
[The hustle] being in that fast-paced environment,
so I’m really excited to see how this interview goes,
because I don’t really know much about the role either, as someone who’s being interviewed.
And then I’m going to go to my Friday 12PM class.
I had a good interview session this morning.
I said everything I wanted to say, even asked a question, that was good.
Got sushi for lunch... I haven’t had sushi in a while, so that was really good.
[I LITRALLY HAD SUSHI 6 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS DAY LOL] I haven’t had sushi in a while, so that was really good.
Right now, I want to do the subtitles for my upcoming vlog.
I also wanted to talk about this brand. Vissles.
They sent me this Magic Keyboard a while ago, actually, and my MacBook keyboard is a little messed up.
If you buy a new MacBook, please, please please, just buy the keyboard cover so nothing gets under the keyboard and mess it up.
But I never did that, and in result, my keyboard is messed up.
Whenever I type, I have to press two to three times on certain buttons to get it to press.
I need to go to Apple to get it checked out, but in the meantime I’ve just been using a separate keyboard to type my things.
This is what the keyboard looks like.
It’s so pretty.
I’ve never been a big keyboard person, but after trying this, I’m like I understand why people buy separate keyboards.
[Saturday] Okay guys, so I’m going to show you guys all the pieces that I thrifted from the Goodwill Bins,
and then I’m going to cut the clip to tomorrow, Sunday, because I’m going to get my hair highlighted with my friend.
And I feel like that’s such a “new season, new me” type of thing, so I wanted to include that in the video.
I only got three pieces, so it’s going to be quick.
First thing I got is just this long-sleeve waffle tee from Levi’s.
It’s size large, so it’s very oversized on me, but I like it because I have this navy long sleeve t-shirt from Brandy Melville that also waffle fabric,
and I’ve been wearing that for three years, and I literally reach for it at least once or twice a week.
So I thought this would also be a good addition to my closet.
And then these pants were such a good find, because I’ve been wearing it nonstop.
They are these pants that is kind of a big trend right now, especially among college students I feel like.
They’re men’s Dickies, where you fold down and show the Dickies product name, and I’ve been wanting those for a while,
but then I’ve also been fighting the urge to find them because I feel like they’re going to go out of trend.
I believe these are Polo’s mens trousers. It’s called the “Andrew Pant”.
[ANDREW PANT]
They’re just normal trousers and I can wear them just normally, a little low waisted on my waist because they are big,
but I can also do the trend where I fold over because once you fold over, there is this label that just says “Polo Ralph Lauren”,
which I think is a really cute, subtle and a trendy touch to the pants, and the way I style them.
So I’m also very excited to style those pants.
And the last find was this blazer.
I feel like I have to take this to the dry cleaner because I don’t want to wash it in my washing machine but I also don’t want to wear it unwashed.
I want to call this color greige, and it’s just an oversized blazer and I’m going to style it for my spring break trip,
which I will share about with you guys more in the future,
but I wanted an oversized blazer and I found it at the thrift store so I was really excited for that find.
[Sunday]
I’m here to wrap up the vlog and also to show you guys the end result of my hair.
So I’ve been getting a lot of questions from you guys and also just my friends in real life about what I asked for my hair.
The thing is I didn’t go in with a specific vision in my head about what my hair wanted to look like.
I just wanted it to be lighter, but what I did roughly ask for was
I asked for a full highlight,
["Full highlights"] I asked for a full highlight,
["Full highlights"] which means I have inner layers...
that are also highlighted because I wear my hair up pretty often,
and I didn’t want it to be dark on the bottom and light on the top, so I asked for full highlights,
and then I asked for money pieces.
["Bigger money pieces"] and then I asked for money pieces.
["Bigger money pieces"] And money pieces are these brighter pieces in the front,
so your bangs, because I wanted it to be noticeable that I had my hair highlighted.
[The lighting in my room is weird] If you see it this way, my hair looks pretty light but in the back,
[So the video on the right is a better view of the color!] it’s really not that light, so I’m really happy with my hair.
Really happy with the brighter money pieces and…
yeah.
I will see you in my next vlog.
I have more fun vlogs coming your way,
I think end of March is going to be a really fun time for me,
so I will see you in my next vlog.
Bye.
[20 going on]
