<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>plan ALL bookings ahead of time including flights and lodging. while it's fairly cheap to get around thailand and find accommodations, you will save so much more by booking everything ahead of time. we knew we were going to fly into chiang mai and fly out of bangkok and we identified all the accommodations in between, but getting from chiang mai to our other destinations we decided to "play it by ear". again, it wasn't a huge deal breaker but i'm all in the biz for saving money and because we didn't have good internet, it would have saved quite a bit of stress booking the flights in between</li>
<li>we stayed 3 nights in chiang mai and i didn't get to try enough coffee shops! we only got to visit 1 and there was so much more to explore</li>
<li>i know it's really unrealistic and seeing chiang rai would also have been ideal .. just means i have to come back next time! </li>
<li>if you're a beach person, stay longer in phuket. the beaches are truly magnificent and the quick in and out was too short of a journey for us</li>
<li>we took a ferry from phuket to koh phi phi and it's at least a 2-3 hour ride so pack your lunch and snacks! you can buy food on the ferry and if you have any particular food restrictions, highly recommend packing your food.</li>
<li>while i'm not about using toxic chemicals, i really recommend using deet products to prevent mosquitos. i had over 60 bug bites and could have been happy with a little less bites.</li>
</ol>

you could not have anticipated the beauty and majestic-ness of these gigantic creatures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
literally have no words to describe the magnitude of these beings. they are meant to be out in wide open areas, eat 200-300 kg of food and 100-200 litres of water necessary for it’s daily nourishment. any other environment is not conducive to their lifestyles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what you may not know is that they are not meant for riding. <b>period</b>. the reality is that they have been tortured, beaten and abused so they can "learn" to behave for the rider and for people's entertainment. these poor creatures are literally suffering mental illnesses, exhaustion, hunger and dehydration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the tourist practices have literally landed elephants as an endangered species.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
please do not EVER ride an elephant.</div>

</div>
this was such an extraordinary way of learning the thai culture. whenever you visit a place, i strongly recommend doing a cooking class at the place you're visiting. honestly, what i cooked was probably the best version of the dish i've ever tasted. which sounds kind of dumb because it questions whether the authenticity of the dish since a local didn't actually make it, and in my opinion, it somewhat counts as local cuisine, right? 😉<br />
<br />
comment below on whether you think this still counts as local cuisine or what you'd pick for your meal!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i wish i had spent more time visiting local coffee shops as that was recommended by a friend. so when planning your visit, look ahead of time of the places you want to visit and map them out to optimize your visit plan. see below of some of the wonderful places we saw.<br />

we stayed at serenity resort and hotel on phuket. up until this point i've never experienced such a beautiful location and villa (that's not much to say since i haven't stayed in many villas and i still think this one is stunning)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we attempted to go to the beach as soon as we arrived and unfortunately it was low tide so going to the beach here wasn't an option. we ended up eating lunch at the resort. compared to what we were eating in chiang mai, this place was by that definition on the "pricier" side, although still affordable according to american prices. </div>

literal rip off. the only time i've ever felt scammed. we asked their taxi drivers to take us to the beach (which was probably about 2 miles south of the resort we stayed at). he literally didn't even take us to the pier/actual area and told us to go walk. uhm what? i remember paying a ridiculous price for the drive that wasn't even equivalent to the distance. i think it was like 20 bucks to go 2 miles. literally what the fuck. </div>

we ended up grabbing another cab to go to nai harn beach. so glad we picked up and decided to go here. the area was kind of enclosed so the waves weren't super aggressive and we were able to sit on the beach with as many coconuts as we could consume.</div>

just like most islands, people here are on island time. we were told that getting from phuket to koh phi phi would be a boat ride about half an hour long; and sure enough, it was an two hours later. whatever the tour people tell you, at <i>a minimum</i> add on another 30-45 minutes to consider from getting to point a to point b. i did not anticipate how miserable this boat ride would be. </div>

first, you hand off your bag where they pile everyone else's bag onto - it has never been so imperative to put distinguishing on your bag otherwise it will take you forever to find it. secondly, there's not enough shade on the boat, people are literally laying on the deck in the baking sun. i was fortunate to pick a spot ride in the shade and i can definitely tell you that i would not want to be sitting anywhere near the unshaded area. all that to say - bring sunscreen and a wide brim hat. also if you're traveling in the middle of the day, it would be wise to bring food and snacks.</div>

once you arrive to koh phi phi you will have to pay an entry fee (the real name of the fee is escaping me and i will update this if i remember!) and from what i recall it was equivalent to $10 usd. from there, water taxis are waiting for you to take you to your chalets. our chalet ended up being at the northeast part of the island so it took us about 15 minutes to get from our port to our chalet. it was low tide so they had to stop the water taxi aways from the beach and we unloaded from there.<br />
<br />
the location was so surreal and the water so clear. these pictures will not do this place justice.<br />

there were local places to eat and it was one of those things where we were pretty baked from the boat ride that we didn't want to trek to find local locations to eat. i also stupidly thought that i wasn't going to get bit to find that the mosquitoes loved my feet. always keep your bug spray no kids.<br />
<br />
the only way to get around the island is water taxis. or at least to see everything the most efficiently is getting around by water taxis. we ended up buying the tour through the chalet. it cost approximately $60.50 usd per person which came with lunch and our fare around the island and guaranteeing we'd make it back on time for our ferry to krabi. i think it's worth it - there may be other options that are cheaper so ensure to do your research.<br />

we stopped at bamboo island, phak nam bay, pileh lagoon, loh samah bay and maya bay. we did drive by monkey beach and viking cave. the poor monkey appears to be stranded alone and feels in humane to leave it there for tourist viewing.<br />
<br />
otherwise, all of the locations are so breathtaking. i have to say that visiting these places should be on a bucket list. the photos and videos can only capture so much of this beauty.<br />

SIXTY SIX. i don't even think that's normal for a human to experience.<br />
<br />
this is really terrible because this place is gorgeous, a great place for climbing and has the cheapest coconuts!! and that's the taker. coconut water. two times a day. every day.<br />

I was told that this was a dirty city and to the extent that any major city may be "dirty" is what I found. Like any major city, Bangkok is bustling with people and cars and sky scrappers and metros and taxis and traffic. The traffic here at rush hour is probably the worse than Los Angeles, and that's something to say for a city that has a major traffic. When getting out of Bangkok to get to the airport, it took me about 30 minutes to travel less than a mile, and when we finally got out of the city, it was normal traffic from there.<br />
<br />
A lot of the locals take the metro/Skytrain and probably the quickest/most efficient way to get around town aside from walking. The two places we ended up visiting were within both of these scopes aside from the floating market which was an hour outside of the city and did require transportation. Luckily, we escaped the city during a non-peak time.<br />
<br />

We had asked the hotel for a car and although it was nice to be in a luxury vehicle and in a comfortable space, we probably overpaid for this service. I do not recall the exact cost and the number coming to mind feels like $60 per person and a taxi would have been cheaper. Given that we didn't have cell service or a way to call a taxi - we stuck with the car service since he guaranteed he would wait for us while we explored the floating market.<br />

Just to ride the boat is about $20 USD per person. Pricey in my opinion compared to everything else that I had paid for up until this point and it was one of those things where the market was closing in an hour once we arrived so wasting time trying to bargain wasn't a plausible option. Thus, we paid our fee and away we went.<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
Food, art, souvenirs and entertainment lined the stalls. Our "driver"/whatever is equivalent to boat driver, took us to his folks that he was friends with.<br />

Since I was making a goal to eat mango sticky rice every day in Thailand, the first thing I bought on our floating market adventure was mango sticky rice and I think someone else bought the coconut ice served in a coconut as shown in the image below.<br />

The one thing I had to get while on this trip was literal boat noodle and it was one of the best noodles I've ever eaten.<br />

We also visited one of the largest malls I've ever seen, which isn't much to say since this is my first international trip. I think it was 5 floors tall and just absolutely massive. My favorite part was the food court because of the all the options that were available and each of us could get what we liked. The only downside is that you have to convert your money to their card system so that way it's an easier transaction at the stalls. If you don't end up spending everything on you card, you can get the cash back.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I learned very quickly that you can't get away with excessive people in your hotel room the way you can usually get away with it in the States. They actually check your passports and cross reference the amount of people to the stay. I mean the do that to some extent in the States but American hotels do not ask for the passport/identification of every single person in your room. So when we originally booked a room for 4 (2 adults + 2 kids), we didn't realize that they would actually set an age limit on the "child" and thus cross reference against our passports. All that to say, make sure you're booking the correct room with the literal number of people in your party.</span></div>

We didn't get to visit any of the "speakeasies" in the city and we got to experience the rooftop bar at our hotel. Drinks were alright and nothing too memorable here except for the view. I'd check it out if you're staying here and not something I'd make a "must do".<br />

If you have friends and locals to take you places, do it. They will provide the best experience for you. We ended up visiting Jae Koy Somtum and another rooftop bar (a name that is escaping me). It was great to get a local experience.<br />

Booking your campsite near Great Basin is very simple. Visit https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234207 and choose your site at Ward Mountain. You pay online so additional fees aren't needed.<br />
<br />
When you arrive, your name will already be marked on the site so you won't be able to miss the one you're designated to. These sites have:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>potable water 🚰</li>
<li>fire pit</li>
<li>vault toilets </li>
</ul>
<br />
It's a good rule of thumb to bring your own water, and there was potable water at the campsite. I've been using reusable gallons (https://amzn.to/2t3jBEC) to hold water versus buying individual gallons (i.e., arrowhead gallons, etc.). These containers usually come with spigots so you can use it to dispense water for drinking as well as creating a makeshift hand washing station. Please please please use biodegradable soap (https://amzn.to/2GizsXt). It's good for you and good for the environment.<br />
<br />
This location is really convenient since McDonald's, a grocery store and gas stations are nearby so you don't need to worry if you forget anything at home.<br />
<br />
The downside is that this location has a lot of bees so bring your bugs pray (https://amzn.to/2WAhKVb) and bug repellent materials.<br />
<br />
Great Basin is actually an hour drive from this location and easily a day trip. I don't think multi-day visits are necessary if you pack properly. I was under prepared because I had anticipated it to be hot all day and then the rain/clouds came in and the temperature dropped.<br />

So much has happened between now and the last post; and there's so many travel tips I'd like to share!<br />
<br />
And one of those tips is along the lines of camping. Yes - I'll admit... I grew up camping in a motorized vehicle and did my first legit, in a tent, sleeping on the ground camping about two years ago. From that, here are the items I feel are necessary.<br />

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FuKLRSRxoKs" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So this is the story of how I spent 36 hours in Chicago. Definitely one of the most stressful and exciting time of my life. It started with an overnight/red eye flight departing around 11 pm and landed 5-6AM with 5 hours of sleep. Mind you, I spent the earlier part of the day stuffing myself at a Brazilian steakhouse so I'm over stuffed with meat and made it to the airport with less than 20 min til boarding. Yes, I live my life on the edge (I hope you recognize my sarcasm there ;)) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I don't want you to think, this is a pity party. With the circumstances, this is how it rolled. My time was miserable cause of the minimal sleep. I started my period, throwing my equilibrium off. And the mixture of lack of sleep and over stuffness ruined my appetite for the half the weekend. Meat sounded disgusting, so although I was looking forward to our Korean chicken wings, I probably only ate two.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although I hail from Los Angeles, Chicago seemed so much bigger and grander than any city I've been too. (Also my first venture eastward, so this is also where my naivety may come in.) The skyscrapers were massive and I felt like a tiny human in this concrete jungle. The only time I felt at ease was when I was by the lake where things felt open. I'm sure Chicago has tons to offer, however, thus far, it is my least favorite place I've been to. -insert scornful remarks here- yeah I get it. I must have missed something and looking back on it is like holy geezus how did we accomplish all those things in such a short time? NO SLEEP AND CONSTANT VIGILANCE! I almost missed my flight back to home because of our poor planning and thank goodness Frontier is notoriously late that I didn't have to stay overnight in Chicago. Two of the major things I've learned from this trip is:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
1) No more red eye flights - and if I do take a red eye, I will force myself to sleep or spend and extra day there<br />
<ul><ul>
<li>After getting off the plane, we immediately got our rental and took it over to North Beach (which was amazingly beautiful at sunrise), but me with less than 7 hours of sleep is a nightmare to my travel companions.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
2) Staying in the city and take a damn Uber/Lyft - several reasons why I'd recommend this<br />
<ol><ul>
<li> I ended up staying closer towards the airport, which of course was ideal since it was cheaper, HOWEVER, trying to find parking in the city took up majority of the time and we could have accomplished even more things if we didn't spend so much time looking for parking</li>
<li>In addition to looking for parking, the drivers will drive you up to the location you're looking for so you won't go wandering around shady places to find your destination</li>
<li>Secondly, I would have spent the same amount taking Uber/Lyft as renting a car and parking, cause their parking prices are EXPENSIVE. I literally spent $30 to see the Bean. ya, i know. It killed my wallet.</li>
<li>Avoid parking tickets. I haven't gotten a ticket in my travels yet. Having that as one less stress would definitely make my traveling more enjoyable.</li>
<li>Frequently, places would "validate" parking. However, they're SUPER specific about which places take the validation. So unless you're knowledgeable about where each parking structure is designated, expect to pay the highest price.</li>
<li>The parking meters typically only allow 2 hours, meaning you have to constantly keep track of the time you put on your meters and take that extra time to stop what you're currently doing to pay the meters and resume what you're up to.</li>
</ul>
</ol>
<div>
I think I've made a solid case for taking Uber/Lyft. Nonetheless, here's the list of places I've visited.</div>

Brittnissx3http://www.blogger.com/profile/00369643991605853976noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.5154586 -122.6793460999999845.1595846 -123.32479309999998 45.8713326 -122.03389909999997tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897437761603162843.post-6510957014481695812016-03-01T12:34:00.000-08:002019-04-14T15:29:02.416-07:00T R A V E L // Tips for First Time TravelersGoing to Portland was my first adventure where I did very 'adult' things. I bought my first plane ticket and rented my first car. So I've compiled a list of tips for first time travelers.<br />
<br />
1. <b>OVER PREPARE</b><br />
<br />
<div>
I had booked <b>Spirit Airlines</b> with reluctance. I had saw so many videos saying how terrible it is in terms of service and having to pay for everything. I had wanted to bring my Jansport backpack which went over their <u>height limit by .75 inches</u>. I called their customer service and they stressed <b><u>as long as my bag fit in the seat in front me, I will not be charged the "Carry-on fee"</u></b>. Okay great. I went to <a href="https://youtu.be/xvj9XeBKuHk" target="_blank">pack my bag</a> and had a freak out moment because I thought I had over packed since my bag was started to bulge. This was a blessing in disguise because <b>unloading my bag of unnecessary things</b> made my trip easier to <b>travel light</b>. I had also <u>preplanned my outfits and toiletries</u> so I wouldn't have a lot of unnecessary items to carry and <u style="font-weight: bold;">everything I brought I used.</u> I had also <b>reserved my rental car online prior to arriving</b> to ensure I would have a car and prepaid for gas for when I returned the car (not sure if that was the best option but let me know what you have done).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. <b>CALL AHEAD AND ALWAYS ASK <u>QUESTIONS</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With my first tip, I called the airline customer service to verify the carry-on rule. I had also called my <a href="https://youtu.be/L268Y2mR3RM" target="_blank">hotel</a> to let them know I will be arriving at a <i>really</i> late time. Not sure if that would have affected anything, but I'd imagine that them knowing I was showing up really late would alleviate their stress of wondering where I am. I'd like to believe that right? Anyway, during this call (I had read on their website they charge for overnight parking in their garage) I had <b>asked if they include free parking</b>. Unfortunately, they charge <b>$30 a night </b>but because I had told her that I was coming in so late, she had suggested to <b><u>park on the street overnight</u></b> for <b><u>FREE</u></b> because the parking meters typically run from 8am to 8pm, and then wake up in the <b>morning to pay by the hour for parking</b>. Thank you to the front desk lady who had given me this information. I had <b><u>saved $52</u></b> from NOT parking in their garage ($60 minus the $8 I had put in the meters in the morning). Personal WIN!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. <b>PLAN OUT YOUR ITINERARY </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
I had <u>less than 48 hours</u> to be in Portland. I had arrived around 10pm Thursday night and I had left around 8pm Saturday night. Realistically, I had about <b><u>26 hours</u> </b>accounting for sleeping. So I had <b>written down</b> everything I wanted to do/see and organized them in a way that would allow for them to all fit. <b><u>Multnomah Falls was a must</u></b>, so this drove my reason to <u>rent a car versus taking Uber</u>. I figured I wouldn't be back in Portland for awhile so this is a must see. <b>Screen Door, Voodoo Doughnuts, Powell's Bookstore, Nong's Khao Man Gai, Pip's Doughnuts, Salt & Straw and PDX Bike Tour were necessary on our itinerary</b>. So assuming each meal would take an hour long and bike tour would take approx 2.5 hours and mapping out each destination, I organized the events as such:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thursday: </div>
<div>
- Arrive around 10:30 pm</div>
<div>
- Get car @ 11 pm</div>
<div>
- Check-in Hotel around 11:30 pm</div>
<div>
Friday:</div>
<div>
- <a href="http://screendoorrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Screen Door</a></div>
<div>
- Multnomah Falls</div>
<div>
- Powell's Bookstore/Voodoo Doughnuts (because they were within a block of each other)</div>
<div>
- <a href="http://khaomangai.com/" target="_blank">Nong's Khao Man Gai</a></div>
<div>
Saturday:</div>
<div>
- <a href="http://www.portlandbicycletours.com/" target="_blank">Bike Tour</a> @ 9 am</div>
<div>
- Pip's Doughnuts</div>
<div>
- <a href="http://saltandstraw.com/" target="_blank">Salt & Straw</a></div>
<div>
- Dinner ?? @ 4:30 pm</div>
<div>
- Return Car by 6 pm</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Which leads me to my next tip</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. <b>ALLOW FOR SPONTANEITY</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With having everything laid out, I knew where I <b>would and would not have time to do things</b>. Clearly <b>Friday</b> was the day to <u>fit most things in</u> because there weren't any restrictions on arrival or departing. I was hungry when I arrived in Portland, so I yelped restaurants open at 12 am and found Santeria; after eating at Screen Door we stumbled upon Kopi Coffee; after seeing the Falls we made a view stop at the the Columbia River and stopped at the outlet stores; and made an <b><u>impromptu</u></b> trip to Vancouver, WA after eating dinner. Each of these <b>little finds</b> made my trip <b><u>memorable</u></b> and I'm so glad I got to experience each stop and food I ate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With that being said, I wish you first time travelers the best of luck on your trip and hope you have a great time. Please ask questions if there is anything specific you would like to know about traveling or what I did in Portland.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have fun!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Going from colorful hair to my old black hair is one of my worse nightmares. Not because I don’t think black hair is beautiful, but because I feel like I’m losing a sense of myself. A chameleon that constantly keeps changing whenever I feel like it. Going into the real job market has forced me to conform and become their standard of “clean cut” and “professional looking”. </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With that being said I used Argon Oil’s 2N Black Dye with a 20 Developer. Using this dye was super easy as previous reviews had written. The women at Sally’s suggested that I use a protein filler so that color would hold. Truthfully, I don’t think I really needed the protein filler because of the type of dye but I couldn’t take any chances. I transferred the protein filler into a spray bottle so I could easily apply it and be less messy. So I washed my hair, blow-dried it until it was damp and then sprayed a generous amount into my hair. I then brushed my hair so the filler would get somewhat evenly through the hair and let that sit in for 20 minutes. My hair was probably wet with the amount of filler I sprayed in my hair so I believe I ended up dying my hair damp. My hair is fairly long and pretty thick, and the lady at Sally’s told me that the bottle of dye I bought was more than enough. Here I’m thinking, 2 ounces of dye should be enough. Big mistake. I should have poured the entire tube out because I think my ratios were off, which eventually made my hair a bit uneven. The under parts of my hair a darker while the upper parts of my hair are more brown. This could also be due to the way my hair was bleached but I think the unevenness was attributed to the dye-developer ratio. So when measuring the developer, make sure it is truly one ounce because I just used the cap of the bottle to measure it out which was probably under an ounce. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Long story short, I would use this dye again to do my ‘normal’ colors. My sister and mom have used this dye before so I figured I couldn’t go wrong with this dye but other reviews were complaining how the color didn’t hold and that it fades fast (probably because they didn’t use protein filler?), so we’ll see how this dye washes out. Argon Oil definitely does make your hair softer after use which I find very interesting about the product since developer is going into the mixture. Would recommend for people who are transitioning from colorful hair to darker hair.</span><br />

<br />
Love this color. However, it did not come out as I had expected. The pictures on Manic Panic's Website and Sally's Beauty Supply looked more red. This was a solid purple. Then again, I had dyed over my pink hair which may have altered the coloring on it, but I figured Purple Haze was dark enough that it was over power my pink hair.<br />

<br />
Just like all the Manic Panic dyes, the consistency is fantastic. It's easy to apply and it makes your hair feeling soft after. Unlike most Manic Panic dyes, this one started to fade pretty fast. Fortunately, it was fading into this cool ombre pink/purple colors which totally worked but then it got really weird when the under colors of my blues (from like 3 dye sessions ago) was showing through. This could have been for a few reasons.<br />
1. I've been taking obnoxiously hot showers.<br />
2. Lately, I've been washing my hair more often.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7R2hPaEZaLE/Vrp7naNs4HI/AAAAAAAAAfs/ejbwVLKgIQQ/s1600/3%2Bweeks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="622" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7R2hPaEZaLE/Vrp7naNs4HI/AAAAAAAAAfs/ejbwVLKgIQQ/s640/3%2Bweeks.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">3 weeks after dye</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Or it could have just been the dye. I was honestly expecting Purple Haze to fade into a more greenish color, like the way Ion Color Brilliance faded into this grayish/greenish/blueish color. And I expected it to hold in general. When I used Purple in Ion Color Brilliance, the color was still even throughout and it maintained whatever color it became whereas when Purple Haze faded out, it returned back to its bleached state (like a coppery blond). So it ended up looking like this.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">9 weeks later</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
A mixture of lavender towards the end, some pinks, and the copper blond in the middle. Doesn't make any sense to me. It still looks cool, but as I said, I wish the purple lasted a little longer. Let me know how your Purple Haze turned out!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">This has become my favorite coat. It's lightweight but still keeps my warm. And I love the length which goes right above the knee. You can never go wrong with black and white. As I've mentioned, I've been wanting a hat like this for some time now so it's been a great addition to my wardrobe. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
When coming across ZNU, I also found Dresslink which has crazy affordable prices! The best thing about their website is that they offer 1 cent items! Isn't that crazy? However, I do feel their clothing it is a hit or miss. A lot of the reviews really seem to like the products but the sizing is a bit confusing since they are Chinese sizes. With that in mind, I would suggest ordering a size up from your normal size. Also, sometimes the product is not the same as the picture/description so be weary of that, but the item still looks great. With that being said, let's jump into the wishlist!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the 1 cent items I adored was this Fashion Fairy Princess Skirt. Tulle is my weakness and if I had found this skirt sooner, I would have put it on my order! </div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />Ughuhhh. The color and texture of this coat is lovely. I really wanted to pick this one but it was totally out of my price range and I felt it would just sit in my closet. But I had such an urge to buy it. Maybe on my next purchase</span><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Ripped denim is definitely coming back in style. I think the last time I purchased ripped denim jeans was about 7 years ago, so it definitely seems about that time it comes back to a popular style. Specifically black ripped jeans. I've never owned a pair of black ripped jeans but they would work perfect with a grunge outfit. Dress the jeans up or down, you can't ruin the look. AND these particular pair were high-waisted. Triple win for me.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: small;">I absolutely adore these trousers! I feel like I would neglect them if I actually purchased them but I love this look so much! personally, I'd pair it with a crop top but I love what this girl did with them.</span><br />
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_sD1-IyUTYE/VpajR1wkWZI/AAAAAAAAAbc/YVoiaDd1LXI/s640/SV026178-1.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I've also been needing another pair of high waisted shorts and these come in multiple colors!</span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDY2978t0-E/VpakHmMZiEI/AAAAAAAAAbo/BI_coW5V9zk/s1600/CB036354-1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDY2978t0-E/VpakHmMZiEI/AAAAAAAAAbo/BI_coW5V9zk/s640/CB036354-1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I am in love with this coat. I had to have it! So this is one of the first items I've ordered in which I ordered a Medium (usually I wear a size Small). Hopefully it fits well because I'd be so bummed if it fit too tight.</span></td></tr>

I also ordered this hat because I've been wanting one of these suckers for a long time. I keep borrowing my friend's hat so I thought I'd get one of my own.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here in this city</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nobody knows me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I can be anything</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From a straight high roller</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To a homeless person on the streets<br />
I'm multifaceted<br />
Constantly changing guise<br />
I play each city<br />
Calling each one my home<br />
From Los Angeles<br />
To Las Vegas<br />
So you'll never know<br />
where I truly belong</div>

Why it took me so long to finally use Manic Panic is beyond me and I've become a loyal user for almost a year. I can't stress to you how much I love this product overall. But let's specifically talk about Hot Hot Pink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M4kUPpV4_dQ/Vikx9alzInI/AAAAAAAAATE/lyyOrU98654/s1600/Hot_Hot_Pink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M4kUPpV4_dQ/Vikx9alzInI/AAAAAAAAATE/lyyOrU98654/s320/Hot_Hot_Pink.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

When I first had it in my hair, it was definitely a hot pink with blue undertones. I thought it was going to be a pink with more orange/peachy undertones. But after further research, I realized the color I thought it would be was made after mixing it with the Flamingo Pink. Nonetheless, this pink overall is fantastic. Probably because I've washed my hair a lot less so it seems like the vibrance of the color lasts much longer. But I've also noticed that it fades out better than Vampire Red. Even though most of the Manic Panic colors come out unevenly, the hair towards my roots is more uneven than the other parts of my hair. Like usually the hair on the bottom half of my head comes out more unevenly than the top part. Whereas the red came out more unevenly towards the bottom rather than the top.<br />
<br />
Compared to other pinks this one has definitely lasted the longest and most even when applying. I love the color as it's fading out and I don't have blond patches throughout my hair (which the ion color brilliance and color jams would do after 2 weeks of washing).<br />
<br />
One thing I'm not too fond of the manic panic is that it purposely bleeds. Supposedly so that it comes out so you can change the colors often. However, I did not find that the Atomic Turquoise bled as much as the lighter colors (red and pink). I'm not sure if it was because I had already mixed Atomic Turquoise with the pastelizer so it was already bound to lighten up faster but I just thought it was weird. I have been looking into Arctic Fox because it comes with more in the bottle and it doesn't bleed as much. I still have two sets of colors I'm itching to use so that transition probably won't happen for another couple of months.<br />
<br />
Stay colorful.<br />
