Luna Bowtique Review!

Hi Hi!
Thank you so much for all the comments on my Beauty Social event report~ I can't wait to show you guys more photos of events that happen around LA. Party everyday ya know?

Luna Bowtique is an online accessory shop started by Kanna and Cathy that specializes in handmade bows. They have various fabric choices and styles so there is something for everyone! They contacted me a few weeks ago and sent me a few bows of my choice for a review. I was very excited about doing this post because they sent me one of my most favorite bows from the website.



The bow is 6.5x4.5 inches. An alligator clip is glued to the back as seen in the image above. All of the bows have their clips glued on the back like this. Personally I love big bows but I do not like my clips positioned in the back like that. So they end up laying flat against my head. I prefer the clips to be sitting on the bottom so the bow will sit up right.

So I re-positioned the clip myself to my liking. I feel this way the bow will not press my curls down or mess with the style of my hair. Cause I know if I got my hair to be styled a certain way the last thing I want is for it to be ruined.




I really love the fabric on this bow! Lately I've been having this obsession with dinosaur themed ANYTHING so this would definitely be my favorite of the bows sent to me.








This one definitely is cute! I love the star bracelet that comes with it. I have been wearing it to work all week.



Just a simple cute Halloween themed bow. There was some strands of hot glue you can see on the right side. Easily removable and happens all the time with a glue gun but its still something to watch out for.

Overall 4.5/5
I wish the clips for the big bows were not glued down so they can be positioned where ever you want. However with that being said the bows are super cute and pretty good for being handmade without a sewing machine. I think they just recently got one. If your a big fan of Little Twin Stars you should definitely check out their website because they have several Little Twin Star bows that are adorable.

BONUS PHOTOS.
Make up from the video clip above. Inspired by the Dino Love bow!



I have a couple more reviews coming up and plenty of event posts.

Also my goal for this month: SEE DOLLY! I need to see her. If you gals aren't sure who Miss Dolly is, you will find out. She is the reason for my sanity~ <3 Also hopefully have a Nikon in my hands by the end of this year. LOL not with my shopping habit... but lets see if I can pull it off.

The fairest of them all: Princess Soleil!

Hay Ya'll!
So i'm trying to get back on track to blogging, my legit posts can no longer be delayed.

On Saturday 15,2011 I attend a princess party! A friend of mines Anz Falcon threw the perfect party for her little girl Soleil who was turning three years old. The theme was of course Disney Princesses~ How cute! I tagged along with the lovely Hello, Emy!

Below is the birthday girl's cake! Omg Anz's mother decorated the 8 green cakes. Aren't they like perfect?! The details were amazing and the cake was delicious. I was lucky enough to be able to take one home, split it with my own mother and devour it like there was no tomorrow. No shame!




CUTE SIDE STORY: So after Princess Soleil blew out the candle the first time she requested it to the Royal Grandmother that she would like to blow out the candle again. Of course we all agreed to this like any good peasants would. So as they lit the candle again.....no one was really singing. Soleil was appalled by such ignorance of her villagers. So what does she do? She looks at us like we are stupid and starts clapping and singing the birthday song to get us started. Like "Um hello.. why are you peasants not singing?????"
We all chimed in with her seconds later and she was able to claim yet another birthday wish ^^
THE END MOVING ON.

Isn't she just adorable?!

Afterwards I went back to Emy's where I quickly played around with her ringlight. Photo credit goes to miss Emy!
Well that is it for today! It was great seeing Emy, Anz, Tricia and getting to meet Princess Soleil, Tthu, Haylee, and Jennifer.

Ah well till next time!

Universal Studios! Photo post~

Hey everyone!
I have finally found some time to actually blog!

The other day I went on a day trip to Universal Studios with a bunch of people I've never spoken to before.
How exciting right? Well we ended up having to split up in groups of three and since I usually don't get a long with females I hung out with the guys. All three of them were idiots but it was much more fun telling them what to do rather than hanging with catty chicks.

Awww the poor bear is too short to ride!




For those of you who don't know every year around Halloween time Universal Studios turns the park into a horror themed park starting at 7pm. But they leave a lot of their decorations up during the day.




First thing we did was head on over to the Tour! Where you get on a tram and take a quick tour on the "Back   Lot" aka where they film on the TV shows and movies. Its where they have outdoor sets from famous movies and "Sound Proof" sets where they film indoors. Sometimes during the tour they are actually filming a show/movie so the director of the tour kindly ask you to be quiet as we pass by. When I was there they were filming Desperate Housewives!

Gotta get yo 3D glasses for the King Kong Experience~

Below is a very bad shot but if you are a big fan of Back to the Future than you will automatically know where this scene is from! Yup its CITY HALL~
 On the back lot they basically have a mini city. If they are to film a movie meant to take place in New York or wherever; all they need to do is change the signs, add some cars and decorate this area to whatever city they need. Some movies are like Bruce Almighty and Spider~!



Up next is the actual cars from famous movies~! Like The Mummy, Back to the Future, Fast and the Furious


One of the Deloreans!

Below is the set from War of the World. They took an actual plane and tore it apart for this scene to look more realistic. CRAZY!!!! I've seen this set plenty of times and yet it still gives me the chills.
Also they had tons of dead bodies lying around for Halloween Horror night -__-


And of course there is a section of the park dedicated to The Simpsons! They even have a Kwik-E-Mart! Although its just a souvenir shop...sad



Ah remember the donuts from one of my previous post!

Duff Beer was just an Energy Drink!
 Sadly the Squishee machine was just a picture and not actually real v.v... I wish that girl would have gotten out of my photos! I wasn't too fond of her..

 Scooby Doo!!! SO cute~ Shaggy and Daphne was driving the car~ haha



Beetle Juice...a really bad Beetle Juice actually. With one of the guys I had accompany me all day.

And these are all the guys I had accompany me. Although they were all big idiots.. more so than I normally tolerate I had a lot of fun with them.
Our group had tons of fun getting on Jurassic Park and the Mummy twice! Makes me miss going to theme parks...it was sad we had to end the day early. Heading back this girl came up to me and told me this guy thought I was cute and wanted my number... UH NO.
1. I was at the park ALL DAY and you didn't speak to me even once. Or introduce himself.
2. You sent someone else to get my number.. couldn't even ask me yourself
3. You're not cute or my type.

Gosh I was so embarrassed FOR HIM hahahaha so sad. Sorry for the super random post today. Trying to get back on track of blogging and my bloggers spotlight. Hopefully next time I'll post something a bit more relevant.
