Mixed emotions today!

Hey guys! I just wanted to give you an update about a few things:
I will be completing these video requests soon. I'm trying to do my study tips, note taking tips, planner organization, and locker organization videos ASAP! I have so much on my plate these last couple of days from personal reasons, but I will get to ALL of my school videos soon, so please bare with me.

Special note to all of my subbies:
I am overjoyed and so happy. I still can't believe this! I have 126 subscribers! That's unbelievable! I'm not like others who want subscribers so they could be popular, I really value each and every one of you! You guys keep me inspire and keep me doing what I do. I love and care about yall. So thank you to all who support me and this channel, I couldn't have done this without you all! You guys are AWESOME and thank you times a MILLION! Like I told you, I am here to stay and I'm here to service you guys. So if you ever have any ideas or requests, or you need some advice, I'm here for you guys! I want to make this channel our own little community and get to be comfortable with each other. Thanks to everyone who's been there from day one (hd4ever19) and all of the sweet friends I made so far. I am excited to see how this channel will turn out. I can't wait! :D

So someone tried to bring down my spirits today:

I am without a laptop charger right now, so I tried to save battery power yesterday by not using it as much. So I logged on to my YouTube and I got some new comments. I got a comment where someone replied to another persons comment on my school supplies video. So I wasn't sure what was going on, but this is what the person wrote:By any means am I trying to expose this person or get attention. I just want to let you guys know some things about me before another ignorant person goes and writes something to try to offend me. Anyone on the street could know that I'm a fat person. It's very obvious, and matter of fact, I am not fat, I am obese. I was never overweight like this until I lost my father when I was young and it started to take a troll on me in my pre-teen years from 10 and up. I got depressed and used food as a comfort, so yes I am "fat" but I want you to walk a day in my shoes. I just want to let [you] know that I am healthier than ever, and probably healthier than [you]. You know, there are some overweight people who are extremely healthy and there are normal weight or skinny people who aren't healthy at all. I have been a strict vegetarian for over one year now. My "diet" as you say, consists of a wide variety of fruit, grains, vegetables, and dairy and apart from that I intake every essential vitamin that I need. So I am very health-conscious. So how DARE you try to judge me without even knowing me, you just look plain ignorant. I've lost weight if that helps. Everyone has different body types and body issues. The main reason I am struggling to lose weight in large sums is because I have a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and I am recovering from injuries from my car accident. So these factors enable me to really do intensive exercises at the moment, but nonetheless, me losing weight will not happen overnight. Rome was not built in one day, so it's a process I've been working on for the longest. But I reassure everyone that-that day WILL come! I've never been in a point of my life that I was so eager to accomplish something. But I don't see how me losing weight would correlate to me finding LOVE. That's so absurd and unreasonable! True beauty comes within! You're physical appearance shouldn't EVER make someone discriminate who you are and what you are. So if you honestly think that only skinny people are capable of being "datable" you are so over you're head! I'm like laughing so much guys, because these statements people make that try to bring me down is making me dislike ignorant people more and more. You know, anyone is entitled to their opinions and could say what they want, but it's how you say it! So if another person would like to pull of a stunt like this, I just would like to let you know that I don't tolerate negativity in my life, nor do I let people arrogant word's affect me. This is like a typical scenario you see on YouTube, someone would leave a nasty comment and you go to their profile and they don't have any identity. So who gives you the AUTHORITY to state what you think? You don't exist in my world. You're definitely not the first or last to say something like that, so don't think by saying what you did was something grand. I just don't know why people would actually watch an entire video if they don't like it. You have the option to click out of the video. And why would someone actually waste their time, as well as mine, and write such a negative comment? What have I done to you? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't appreciate it if that happened to you. Anyways, if I wasn't the realistic and positive person I am, I would much likely fall into your trap, but not anymore! :)
As far as for Hello Kitty, I do not CARE about if you think I am too "old" to like Hello Kitty. She's just a character that I've always adored and loved since I was little. Hello Kitty doesn't have an age limit! She is 31 years old ok? So no one could stop me from liking something that makes me happy and contented. Oh, and that [person] said that I must be in kindergarten if I have color pencils. My response to that is: -________________- you really shown your stupidity in 5 ways today within 3 lines of words. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that using color pencils has an age limit too. It's called projects, coloring, crafting, drawing, and ART!!!!! Wow, this person really got my serious side out, but I am all smiles! :D Thanks to all of my subscribers and [that] person who stood up for me. You guys are what matters to me, not some nonexistent person! :-)

I got some exciting news for you guys! I'm having a GIVEAWAY:

As I mentioned in both of my videos: "My promises to you......" and "I would like to get to know you better! ^__^", I gave you guys a heads up that I was going to have a giveaway on August 1st, which is tomorrow. Hopefully I could record it tomorrow. This is a giveaway showing my appreciation to you guys and how much I care for you all. I'll give you a hint, it's sort of school-related lol. So I will be doing plenty of giveaways, contests and random prizes to give to you all the time, so don't be discouraged if you don't win. You will at some point, I promise! ^__^

I was originally going to do a 100 subscriber giveaway contest, but I'm still in shocked that I already past that. Because the giveaway I will be doing tomorrow is different than the subscriber giveaway. So I will have the official rules listed when I make a video. It will be open for 4 weeks and I will ship it as soon as I could and when I announce the winners. Ok, I want everyone to understand. I am not looking to gain subscribers, it's just a present to me when I get a new one. I NEVER bother people and ask them to sub me or sub for sub because I want people to sub to me who truly enjoy my videos. But for bigger giveaways, I decided that I would do it in increments of 250 to be fair. Because these prizes cost me a lot and it would give me time to accumulate packages for the contest giveaways.

So I will have a huge giveaway at these certain points:
250 subscribers
500 subscribers
750 subscribers
1,000 subscribers
and if I'm lucky to go passed that...........

I doubt that I'd even reach further than where I'm at now. Sometimes I feel that the majority of the girls on here are more interested in makeup. But I don't plan on doing makeup, but just beauty. Beauty to me consists of embracing your features and loving yourself. Beauty is within and makeup shouldn't make you feel beautiful. But once I branch out my channel and do all what I'd like to do, I will be more at ease and happier.

Thanks for everything guys! I'll see you soon! Always remember that you could ask me question or if you need advice through my formspring.me:

With love and hugs ♥

Are yall interested in bento lunches?

Well, I have a bunch on Hello Kitty bento boxes and I'm always amazed and influenced by the Asian culture. So apart from my VEG cooking/baking, I'm not sure if you guys would want to know some lunch ideas and how to assemble the food in your bento boxes. Here some pictures:

I am just in awe of her beauty!


Marilyn Monroe has to be my number one choice of female beauty, charismatic, sophisticated pop icons I adore. She's flawless! As cliche as that sounds, I'm really inspired by her persona.

What do you think?


So I know how to make these creations. I took me a great deal on time at first, but it is fairly simple. If you guys want to know how to make these, it's made from perler/hamma beads and I could do a tutorial on how to make these.

Back to School Series


So I finally decided to kick off my series. I know this one will be awesome because I truly enjoy school-related videos. I'm like a school supplies addict! So I already made two videos and uploaded it. I can't wait!!!
