Holiday Tunes with Pottery Barn Teen

December 22, 2016

We’re getting so near to Christmas! I’m still way behind on getting presents, but I am super excited because I love gift-giving.

Me and Pottery Barn collaborated over the holidays to bring some decorating inspiration. Along with an awesome beanbag, I also chose gold bunny-eared Emily and Meritt speakers. I actually never have my own speakers, so I’m pretty happy to have these. They’re small and also super adorable! I have a lot of gold accents in my dorm room, on my desk and shelves- and this matches so well.

Since I have been using these speakers so much, I also wanted to share some of my favorite holiday songs with you guys. These songs are perfect for listening to in anticipation for the holidays, whether you’re taking a walk outdoor, throwing parties with friends and family, or just listening to when chilling on your bed scrolling up and down your phone.

Welcoming the Holidays with PBTeen

November 29, 2016

So the weather has been getting warmer and the presence of the upcoming holidays is in the air. What does this mean for me? Definitely a lot more of cozying up in my room and low-key stressing about what to gift my friends and family.

Since I was very young, I have been infatuated with room design and interior decoration. I used to play home decoration games online all the time-did you guys ever play those fashion or room design games online too? I loved to roam furniture sites and visualize my ideal room, even t

hough back the only thing I had much control over was my wall color and bedsheets. I would have never expected to collaborate with one of my favorite decor sites, Pottery Barn Teen on my blog. We teamed up this season to inspire you guys with some awesome room decoration and holiday gifting ideas. I chose the snow leopard print bean bag and Emily and Meritt gold bunny speakers for my dorm room at UCLA. The beanbag matches our white rug and totally completes the room. This year, our room is so cozy-it feels total home to me and hopefully to my roommate Audrey as well! (We even named our room Kawaii Traphouse.) Now that I’m a sophomore in college, I realize just how quickly the days pass, and I want to treasure each passing moment that I have here more. Already, we have made memories with friends lounging on the beanbag, eating snacks and online shopping, and playing songs from the adorable speakers as we’re studying and getting ready for events. We spend so much time in our room here so it’s awesome that Pottery Barn teen furniture and decorations helped us in making it even more one-of-a-kind. And I would like to give a huge shoutout to my friend Edwin Lai for the photography! 🙂

Happy Halloween! (Harley Quinn Makeup Tutorial)

October 31, 2016

It’s pretty wicked that Halloween is on a Monday this year, but I hope you guys are all enjoying your day so far (in costume or not.) Over the summer, I studied abroad in Korea and lived with my best friend Erica half the time. Suicide Squad came out during this period, and we both considered being Harley Quinn for Halloween. (We would look up DIY costume methods during work time hahahaha.) So when Halloween was just around the corner, I decided to hustle a bit and pull together a costume and makeup look to share with you guys. Huge shoutout to Stanley Wu www.stanleywuphotography.com and Edwin Lai for the photo and filming.
