Favorite Childhood Story | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

Looks like I’m playing catch up again! Hopefully I can integrate working on this into my schedule more successfully in the future.

So the book I chose to read again is “Stand Back, Said the Elephant, I am Going to Sneeze” this was a favorite book growing up due to me inheriting my father’s sneeze, given my interests and personality one would think that I would sneeze daintily like a princess. I do not, I sneeze one of the loudest sneezes, it’s like a yell. So my mom A, bought this book when I was little cause it reminded her of my dad and I with our gigantic sneezes, it was delightful reading it again and the illustrations are hilarious it’s so sweet, simple and funny.

I also really badly wanted to be a Zoologist as a kid, I changed my mind when I was older as I wanted to focus on helping humans more which is how I ended up getting into forms of social work. I still have a really special place in my heart for wild animals though

Watching Homemade Lolita Video | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

I have been watching “ homemade” Lolita videos almost every day, I love being a part of the Lolita fashion youtube space and have had an incredible time interacting with smaller creators. Right now I am writing this on my phone but a dream of mine for this blog is to have a page that is a master list of Lolita fashion content creators on YouTube. It’s really informative, fun and wonderful to see such a wide range of perspectives on topics in the fashion. I love learning how to better care for my clothes and try to participate in the fashion in a long term way. I really love the Stitchess for her emphasis on avoiding materialism and contributing to being a voice on sustainability in Lolita fashion which is an interesting topic which I have written an earlier post on this blog about! I also love watching Asami Moon because it’s great to see another currently active lifestyle Lolita which seems to be getting rarer these days. This past December I discovered Kimbuucha’s channel which has some of the most beautiful looking footage I have seen, it has great production value and she herself is amazing. This is literally just a handful of the YouTubers I love and watch, this also is just the kick in the butt I need to actually make that page!

Look at Early Lolita Webstores | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

Once again this is another challenge that I’m not 100% sure what it means but I’ll check out maybe an early version of AP’s website using the way back machine? Let’s see if that gets anything

I actually did get something! It’s really cool to see the earliest saved version, I’m going to try baby next

Baby’s website seems to have the exact same layout as it does now!

Perfect Valentine’s Meet | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

So we’re having some virtual meets in my comm, unfortunately due to always working 12 hours on Saturdays I will be unable to attend.

If there was no covid my perfect Valentine’s meet would be going to Champlain Valley Chocolates in Burlington and watching the factory explanation and drinking hot coco together, then I would love for us all to go to the hosts house and watch our favorite sappy romances or Ghibli movies together while eating cookies and talking. That would be my ideal Valentine’s Day meet. Maybe we could also exchange those cheap little Valentine’s you get in grade school

Indulgent Wash? | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

Well I got a little off track with some of my posts and had to play catch up today! It was nice to give me an excuse to get up earlier before work, I actually got to feel like I had a day instead of just waking up going to work and then going back to sleep, it was lovely! I used a shower steamer since I didn’t want to spend all morning taking a bath but it was still pleasant, I also used my strawberry pound cake lotion over my body which is an extra step I don’t usually do. I wasn’t 100% sure what an indulgent wash was so I interpreted this as I liked

New Entree | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

I made Chicken Udon!! I love Japanese food and getting to buy some udon noodles sesame oil and soy sauce to make some stir fry brought me a lot of joy! Especially since I’m trying to save money and avoid takeout

I had meant to take a picture but I ate it all too quickly because it was really delicious ^^’

I love Japanese food! It’s really nostalgic to me because of it reminding me of anime conventions and Lolita meetups, both things I’m missing terribly right now. I can’t wait to see my friends again and get to meet more people that I have common interests with
