~music yayyy~
hello y'all!! long time no see... and that is because I have not posted
a full length YouTube video in... an eternity
and for that I am deeply deeply deeply sorry :(
the reason behind it is... school </3
you see school is a vast ocean and I am a little fool that cannot swim!
but, I think this all boils down to the fact that I have TERRIBLE time management
and I just struggle trying to balance school and extracurriculars while also making content
for different social media platforms that I post on and I become very stresssssedd ;(
thankfully tho I am on winter break right now so I do have a lil bit of time to relax and recharge my
~brain battery~
but today I bring to you a room makeover/tour video!
you see the last time I did a room video was about a year ago
and my tastes in room decor have definitely changed
cuz I used to like super bright and color things but now I prefer more toned down things
well not like super toned down but just different tastes!!
BUUUT before we move on to the rest of the video, I'd like to thank today's sponsor, miHoYo!!
some of y'all might already know that I'm absolutely OBSESSED with their game Genshin
Impact, and today I will be talking about yet another game of theirs I'm
obsessed with, Tears of Themis! :D
Tears of Themis is a detective style romance game set in the city of Stellis where modern
technology both gives the city its radiant neon lights, but also shadows of ~obscurity~
Lately, many good and gentle people of Stellis have suddenly grown volatile and violent,
and incidents that threaten the city's social security have increased...
X-Note is a project that aims to peel away at the layers of data to discover what is truly going on
In Tears of Themis, you can discover this truth by going through main stories
to explore what's happening in Stellis!
It's a detective adventure where you collect evidence
and perform interrogations to connect clues
and after all the evidence is collected,
you need to carefully decide which pieces of evidence will ensure the swiftest court trial
additionally, there's romance that blossoms as you create cherished memories
with the game's four male characters
the games individual character stories and dynamic illustrations further enrich the experience
miHoYo never fails to wow me with their stunning artwork & phenomenal voice acting :’)
thank you so much again
to miHoYo for sponsoring this video :D and now, on with the rest of the video!
I feel like it's necessary for me to show yall what my room looked like before just so
y'all can see what I was working with
and as you can see,
it was just a lot of things... everywhere.. that is not a good way of putting it lol
but basically, I just really loved really bright colors!
and I actually do have an old room tour vid up where I show what my room looked like
before it became super sad and messy
but I just decided it was time for me to switch things up!
And I also do feel like my room is generally a good representation of
my mental state and as you can see.. uhhhh I was not doing too good for a while there
But, the first thing I did was remove my old posters near my bed
when I put them up I was really obsessed with how they looked ,and over time the
novelty wore off and I was just not vibing with them any more </3
the biggest thing I wanted to change about my room was definitely the color scheme
This time I generally went for a more green/blue palette with pops of oranges and yellows!
Now you would think that after I took down the old posters I would be putting up new ones,
but juuust kidding cuz at the time I filmed this my posters had not arrived yet so Iput up shelves
just kidding (again) I actually made my dad put up the shelves cuz I was lazy
eventually all my posters arrived and they're all mostly from Society6 and AllPosters!
I had slowly been collecting posters for a while, and I just wanted to wait
until all of them came before I started changing the wall decor
initially I tried to make a blueprint of the poster placement
on my floor before I put it up on my wall
but ultimately, my efforts were wasted because I ignored the plan
completely and just decided to ~freestyle~
I wanted the posters to just **overlap each other, and also my camera died ;(
Buuuuut here is what the finished result looks like!
Next up, I revamped the lil corner area of my bed area
and originally it had some flowers and vines and lights, as you can see
and I wanted to go for that same idea of having vines and lights in the corner,
but this time I decided to go with fairy lights :D
I like using the fairy lights a lot more compared to the lights I had before, which were star shaped
But the fairy lights were made from wire and they were very easy to assemble with the vines,
and I just like twisted them around and it was pretty simple to do!
also idk if this sounds weird,
but I feel like fairy lights are just more ~magical~ compared to LED **strip lights
I dunno, I just really like fairy lights <3
For something a lil extra and maybe more magical,
I also made hanging butterflies to tie onto the vines
I used twine, string, tape and plastic butterflies to make them
Initially, I only wanted to use twine but that did not work out because I ran out of twine
But then I used a bit of string as a substitute,
and I also liked the way the string looked and I just ended up doing both
But they're also pretty simple to make, and all I did was cut some twine and string,
and tape that onto the butterflies, and then I tied them onto the vines
When I taped it, I put the tape on both the front and backside of the twine,
so the butterfly would stay horizontal when hung up rather than flopping to the side
I'm not gonna lie, this method was definitely not perfect cuz you could see the tape
from certain angles, and some butterflies still flopped over...
sup y'all, it is definitely nighttime now but, I finished the vine
light thing canopy fake canopy thing and honestly I think it looks pretty cool
but I can't decide if I like twine more or string so I did both,
cuz originally I was gonna do twine but then I ran out so I did string for like half of it
but, I dunno if I wanna do all string or maybe get more twine,
but here's what it looks like! (so many buts lol)
moving on, I also decided to take down the flowers on my closet
like with most of my room, I was just simply tired of looking at them </3
and some of the flowers were missing anyways cuz I ripped them off to put on a school project LMAO
I still wanted a bit of color on that wall, so I replaced the flowers with some Kiki's Delivery
Service cards, and I got them as a Christmas gift last eye and I hadn't used them yet,
so I figured they'd be the perfect pop of color on my closet area
Kiki's Delivery Service holds a very dear place in my heart because it's one of my favorite movies,
and honestly, that movie just makes me feel all warm n fuzzy inside :')
lastly, I got some new sheets!!
I was very excited for them and... ignore the fact that they're wrinkly but I think they're
still pretty cute and I'm OBSESSED with the botanical print on them
me: "你好 (hello)" my mom: Hiiiiii
me: "快进来!! (come on in)" my mom: "好吧 (ok)"
Me: *very awkwardly* ummm welcome to my lair...
this is my crib... I hope you like your stay here.. you can come in........
me: *forcefully making eye contact* let me. show you. around
and now, I finally present to you the tour!
Here is an overview of what my room looked like after redecorating
and I also did do some things off camera cuz I would get random bursts of inspiration to
redecorate, reevaluate, and rearrange... and I did not film those moments lol (I forgot ;_;)
but for my room, I wanted to change the overall ~feel~ and make it a more calming space :D
I spend a lot of time in my room, whether it's working on school, or working on
extracurriculars, or working on content and basically, it's a lotta working,
and I wanted to be comfortable in an environment where I spend so much of my time!
first up on the list is my bed area :D and I already showed a lot of clips
of me redoing my bed area earlier on in the video, but I definitely think
that it's my favorite part of my room, and I ABSOLUTELY adore how it came out
not gonna lie, I thought the butterflies were gonna look kinda weird at first,
but I'm actually very happy with how they came out
my main goal for my bed area was to make it cozier,
and I just wanted it to be a comforting space
and now here is a closer look at the stuff on my shelves :D
and to the right of my shelves, I have some more posters and when I was filming putting up the
posters, my camera actually died, but here is a better look at some of the posters on this wall
the smaller prints are from when I went to an art museum with my friend
and the bigger ones are from Allposters and Society6!
this is not that exciting of a detail, but I also cleaned
the green rug in my room and now it's less filthy
above my rug is my window and I have some plants as well as some lil bears,
I really love these bears they're from the thrift store
and I have two plants and I'm r e a l l y hoping I don't kill them
sandwiched between the window and the closet is a full length mirror,
and it's a lil broken but it's ok!!!
and here is a better look at the Kiki cards, I think the blues and the greens go perfectly
with the posters near my bed area and looking at them makes me wanna
rewatch Kiki's delivery service for the 80th time (this might be an exaggeration)
moving on, we have my desk area, and here I kinda strayed away from the green n blue theme
but I still hung up some vines to match with the other part of my room
I actually re-did this part of my room during finals week because whenever I took
a break from studying I would do a lil bit of redecorating... just for a lil moment of peace
I have dandy lil milk sign hanging down
and also a wall grid of random shenanigans I like!
I think my favorite decorations on this part of the wall are the Venti hat from when I cosplayed
him, and the poster of the people on the lilypads on my desk, I have this shelf where I mostly keep
manga(s) as well as some other random knick knacks such as
some hand lotion, the second volume of Blue Period, the first volume of Blue Flag,
aaaaand A POWER NENDOROIDDD that I have yet to assemble...
when I was redoing my room, I didn't just wanna throw away all my old posters,
so I reused some of them that I thought would fit with the new aesthetic I was going for
showing off this heart shaped earring holder because it is one of the best things in my room
next to my desk I have some posters, and I'm not gonna lie,
I don't really like how this wall turned out :( I feel like this wall is really random but
I also didn't wanna have a lotta empty space
finally, we are at my door! it used to have cow prints on
it a very long time ago, but I just changed it and I asked my dad to put up some hooks
at night, I feel like my room is just so much more ~delectable~, so much cooler looking
because I turn off the main light bulb and then switch on the various other lil lighting sources
this bao lamp also just brings me so much serotonin & it's so cute :D
I'm also a night owl and having my room look cool definitely helps me be more productive while I
