Yes, it's another Monster Hunter restaurant collab!! And the goods this time are quite nice in my opinion!
This time it's Sushiro, the Japanese brand of conveyor belt sushi. One branch got a full makeover with interior decorations, but it's too far away to bother going to, so my friends and I met up at a closer one. There was only a Rajang standee here, but I got a photo!
Happy Moon Festival 2024 everybody!!!
Oh boy was today a test of my emotional regulation! For some reason, I've been quite low in mood and energy today and yesterday, but I had plans with my mom today and really didn't want to be a downer. It feels like a lot of small, inconsequential things have simply added up to make me feel mentally and emotionally in the dumps, so I couldn't enjoy Moon Festival (also called Mid-Autumn Festival) as wholly as I would have liked, but I made the most of the day!
Recently, I decided to give press-on nails a try again. All previous attempts have resulted in nails popping off within a day or two, even using nail glue. This is likely due to my strangely-shaped nail beds (flat with sharply curved sides, and two nails are "twisted" like a corkscrew so one side is lower than the other) that often leaves gaps under the press-ons.
I found some relatively cheap nails online on Shopee and bought several sets along with "jelly stickers" for adhesion. I was hoping the nail stickers would help create a smoother surface area for the press-ons to stick too! I also got both long and short nails to see if it made a difference.
The first set I tried was a 24-piece set made of thin plastic. I dipped them in hot water and pressed against my natural nails to flatten them out more and hopefully stick better. This is a trick I learned from the internet. This let me pick out which nail size fit which finger best as well. 💅
✨Point! Do not dip into the hot water for too long or use boiling water (I used just off the boil, and dipped for 1-2 seconds) or the nails may actually warp out of shape from excessive heat!
It's been 25 years of Cardcaptor Sakura! I went to a little exhibit/pop-up shop with my friend yesterday. We met up at 6:30 for the tiny little shop, as it was a work day and we couldn't meet earlier.
I also did my hair in a new style for the first time!
