What's in my bag; work edition!

Throughout the week I work overnight at a call center and there's a lot of down time so I have to bring things to keep myself occupied. I'm not a huge fan of watching TV or anything on my phone because I don't carry my charger around and I just feel really uncomfortable with such a small screen. 

My necessities are definitely my pencils and sketchbook.  I usually bring an issue of KERA or FRUiTs with me if I'm lacking inspiration, currently I'm all about these issues of 原宿女子～原J I picked up while in San Francisco! If magazines don't do it for me, then I just browse tumblr for a little bit.

I've never been too much of a tote bag person but I need to accept that there are times when my tiny handbangs won't do haha.

I always carry a bunch of lipsticks with me because even though I've already decided what I want to wear for the day, who knows if I'm going to change my mind later?

If it wasn't apparent, I really love chocolate theme things. I like to keep my pencils and all my pens/sharpies separate. Not pictured here is also a small box of Prismacolor pencils that was gifted to me!

Last but not least, a cute compact!

July 15 AKA Day of Bey

Last month I was blessed enough to go to a Beyonce concert! Trying to get tickets for that event was probably one of the most stressful moments of my life; I almost didn't even get one! I was waiting at my computer for them to go on sale and after constantly refreshing the page it let me through. I was able to grab two tickets but forgot to add a parking pass, so when I went back to add it again they were all gone! I had to keep refreshing and entering captchas and at this point I was in tears trying to find tickets for both of her Texas shows haha. I ended up successfully grabbing one and in turn, went to see her by myself.

Matt and I went to Houston for the weekend and did touristy things as I'd never been there before!

We went to the Galleria as soon as we got there, it was so cool! There was an ice skating rink inside and so many stores! I wanted to go into the Kate Spade store but I always feel really awkward going into nice stores like that and not buying anything hehe.
After walking around there, we went to Chinatown. Its like you're in a completely different part of the world (not that I've ever been to China or anything) but all the writings on the signs and buildings were all in chinese, all the food and pictures in the windows, not to mention the people! I'm pretty sure I was the only brown girl there haha. We went into Fit (a japanese convenience store) and I wanted to buy everything!

I accidentally applied a skin whitening filter lol

Read on to see pictures of what I bought, and of course, more purikura!
