Do You Feel Better?~




When I first got back into Gaia, I was dead set on making the perfect nurse outfit.  I spend billions of coins collecting items until I was satisfied with making the best creepy cute nurse I could.  However, now that Halloween is long gone I had to move onto different styles and characters to create.  But man I still love all my nurse stuff.

So with that in mind, I really wanted to do some sewing for my doll Delilah, who is now about four years old (!!!) and I figured a nurse outfit would be prefect, so I designed my ideal outfit on Gaia, and went for it.
I really went all out with the "Lets wing it" thing, and did all of it by hand guessing.  I drew the pattern straight onto the fabric and messed around till I got what I wanted.  This makes me really glad I sewed my cosplays in the past, so I already have a pretty basic understanding of sleeves and how to fit everything together. I have no clue what I'll be using this outfit for in the future, but I sure like it! Perhaps I'll finally get around to taking nice photos of her again. I was thinking of trying to make an actual pattern out of this, but it's really too messy to do any good.  If any of you are interested though. I can make an in depth explanation of how I made it. It's pretty amazing how quickly I can make stuff like this now, it only took a few hours!
For now, enjoy these cute photos!
See you next time!

Lush Kitchen Japan Haul


My wonderful exchange student sent me a New Years gift full of Lush goodies!  She knew I was a big fan of Lush (my bathroom is practically full of Lush products), so this was a very sweet gift!
Because some of these products are from the Lush kitchen, and because Japanese packaging is simply really interesting to look at, I figured I would share them with you! Reading the packaging is a great way to practice reading Japanese!
You can watch my video haul above, or on YouTube Here!

Swimming in my MagicTail


Today my friend NijiEmpress16 and I went to a local pool to practice swimming in our tails.  We used the lap pool, so sadly I couldn't get much footage, but the little I did get you can check out here!
It also doesn't help that I suck at using the little waterproof bag I got for filming using my phone, haha. 
Overall it was a pretty good experience.  I've heard things about people getting asked to leave pools for wearing tails, but both of us were just fine.  We were told we just needed to stay out of the way of other swimmers and everything went fine!  One lifeguard even asked for a photo of NijiEmpress's tail!  She thought it was really cool :D It's a great core workout, but really BRING GOGGLES! My eyes are stinging like crazy because I broke my last pair during the end of swim season and went without.  Big mistake, my eyes were bright red :P
Hopefully in the future we can get to a lake to film at and get some better/cool shots. It's still really cold out here though, so we may have to wait a while.  Someone time soon I'll be making a full video review of my MagicTail.  For now I can just say that swimming in it is a breeze and super fun.
I hope you guys enjoy the video! Also you can check out NijiEmpresse's unboxing video (That I'm also in 
For now you can enjoy the Gaia Online avatar I made of myself as a mermaid :P (PS add me on Gaia!)
See you guys next time!
