My handwriting isn’t that great to be honest, I’d like to get better but I have to write so slowly to write well and I always write in a hurry because I’m afraid if I take too long I’ll lose what I’m trying to write!
Tag: 365 lifestyle Lolita challenge
Valentines Day is next month!!! So I think I’m going to cook my fiancé his favorite food which is pot roast! His mother gave us a recipe book for Christmas that has that recipe inside! I can’t wait!
This year I learned that lace is made in a variety of ways! I wanted to show a bit of the needle lacework that I learned but I am currently working on saving money so that will have to wait. I learned that lace can be tatted with a shuttle and a needle, crocheted or made on a bobbin as well as chemical lace. Lace comes in a variety of ways! There’s lots of resources on YouTube relating to that fact,
1.) Sweet Poison Cupcake
I am the most realistically going to be able to go to this store! I discovered it on Tiktok and it’s only a couple hours away from me! Also I follow the owner on social media and they seem really cool
2.) BtSSB + AP San Francisco
My favorite ballet is Swan Lake and that’s technically based on a fairy tale, I’ve wanted to do an Odette inspired coord for awhile now and I’m very happy with how it turned out
Here I’ll have a mix of places you are most likely to find lolitas in Vermont and places that have a cute theme but we have yet to go!
1.) Church Street, Burlington.
You are the most likely to run into someone wearing Lolita fashion on Church Street! Many meetups happen there and it’s where many college kids hang out. I found a now member of my current comm in a Starbucks randomly one day.
2.) My Little Cupcake
This has been a popular place for meetups through the years and perfectly on theme!! It’s also in Burlington
3.) Hana, Japanese Restaurant
This is a wonderful restaurant that I’ve been to many times! The staff is always wonderfully accommodating of our meets. It’s been a little while
4.) Kitty Korner Cafe, Barre, VT
This has been a favorite of mine recently! Due to the pandemic we haven’t been able to have a full meet there but I adore going and can’t wait to plan one once it’s safe again to do so. I feel as if cat cafe’s are a classic
5.) Shelburne Museum
This is a popular meetup place as well! Sadly I haven’t been able to go to any because I swear there is a curse on this meet in our comm
6.) The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory!
This was an extraordinary meet and even though we only went once it was so fun and so one theme for everyone it was one of the best and most fun meets we’ve done.
7.) Each Other’s Houses!
I feel I really took for granted the luxury of so many members of my comm often hosting out of their homes, it was always a super fun and affordable way to have a meet up, and it’s probably the meets that I miss the most right now.
My favorite dress is my angel of Music OP from Haenuli
I have started reading books again for fun! It’s been amazing! It’s largely small novellas on prime reading but I’m really proud and happy that I’m able to do that again, I used to rip through 75+ books a year in middle school and as I got older it got more difficult. I used to love fantasy novels however I’m now more into domestic mystery books
I used a website called futureme.org so that I’ll remember to read it! It emails this to the future but here is my letter
Dear FutureMe,
Where are we at right now? I finally learned not to have expectations on how my life will go this year, about every 4 years I seem to change my mind on what I want to be when I grow up, but now that I’ve grown up it feels a bit like a silly question. I don’t think anyone’s ever “grown up” and that’s exciting and terrifying. Like at the moment my fiancé and I think we’ll want to wait until our 30s to have kids but maybe we won’t. Maybe I’ll be a social worker still or maybe I won’t. I just hope I’m happy and connected to people who love me. This is the first year I’ve felt this safe despite the pandemic going on right now. I finally opened up to all of my mental health stuff in therapy and boy it’s been terrifying and exhausting but I hope that it’ll all be worth it for future me and the people I have yet to meet. It’s been odd having to contend with how truly hurt I’ve been and realizing that I hurt other people in ways I didn’t mean to when I was young. Are we still connected with college friends? Did we ever reconnect with high school ones? What new people have we met? Where are we at with therapy? Are we still in therapy? I have so many questions and yet I know I’ll find out in due time. I wish you well
Sincerely,
Past me
