Jack's New Sweaters - October

Got some new cozy sweaters for this fall! In love!

Black Long Sleeve Patterns Letter Print Sweatshirt

So I got this mainly because of the print! Haha, it's kind of a joke between me and my friends and I think it's a bit funny. Also it's black and white so it will fit most things! I got it in size L, since I wanted it baggy, but it's not actually all that big, considering I'm a size S.

It's available in the sizes XS to L and you can check the measurements on their website, if you click on the link above.

I didn't have much time to put on any special outfits, but that will be seen in the future! For now it's just a very comfortable piece of clothing that I like a lot!

Black Dip Hem Ombre Pocket Sweater

This ombre sweater is probably my favorite for this month. It's not a super thick sweater, which is nice for me who either get cold way too easily, or gets too hot easily. I think it suits me really well, which is something I rarely feel about sweaters. Most of the time it's "ok" or "meh" but I really like how this fits on my body!

It's a one size item, but I'd say it's probably for S to M, maybe a small L? The measurements is on their website so check the link! This one is available in different colors, such as grey, navy and black!

The gradient effect is something I really like, and it also has a pocket on the front!

That was it for this time, and I hope you liked it! I was very happy with these and I'll be wearing them loads!

Wig Additions Of October!

So this month I got wigs for 2 new cosplays that I'm really looking forward to do. And the first one that I'm going to show you, is this beauty!
After many years of doubt, I have finally decide to cosplay the cutie Usagi from Sailor Moon, the very first anime I got stuck in as a child! I will be in a group with some awesome people and I'll nag and nag until Sebastian will join me as Tuxedo Mask.

UNIQSO had the Usagi wig in stock, so this month, I wanted to grab it for future cosplay tests, and later on proper photoshoots. I really want to get the school uniform and her senshi uniform, and eventually maybe even the princess outfit!

Sailor Moon Wig:

(discount code: "niisuke" = 10% off)

The wig is a nice yellow-ish blonde, with a very warm tone. comes pretty much all styled, with pre-made buns and long "ponytails", but you have to cut the bangs to your own liking. It's 100 cm long, so it's a pretty long wig! The ends are nice and curly, and the style is simply very accurate and adorable. This wig is also heat resistant and can endure simple curling and straightening, but as usual, be careful. It's not a clip on wig or anything, so it comes in one piece, and I would advice you to be careful not to mess up the buns. I hair sprayed mine to get some extra protection!  

The overall feeling of this wig is that it's a comfy one, and thanks to the pony tails not being too thick, it's not too bothersome and doesn't get tangled all too easily. I really like it!
Styling the fringe is a bit of a struggle though, if you are picky about it, so it might take a bit of work if you want to customize it. Anyhow, I loved it!

The next wig is...

Gugure! Kokkuri-san Inugami Wig:

http://goo.gl/Li68AH

(discount code: "niisuke" = 10% off)

I didn't get this to cosplay from Gugure! Kokkuri-san, since I haven't watched the anime, but I got it since it was the perfect wig for another character, Felicita from Arcana Famiglia. I still have to get the right lenses and costume and everything, but at least I got the perfect wig now!

This wig comes in three pieces. One base wig, and two clip-ons. It's an orange-red, rather pale wig, and I think the shade is really cool! Different from most wigs I've seen around online. The clip-ons are easy to put on and take off and are somewhat thick, and about 100 cm long. I think they are a bit tricky as they can tangle a bit if you aren't careful, but it's very beautiful and shouldn't be too much of a struggle if you brush it often and properly!

The wig comes pretty much pre-cut with a fringe and all but you might have to cut it shorter to fit you if you're like me, pretty small. The wig is heat resistant just like the previous one, so you can style it however you wish, but be careful!

'

As soon as I have the whole costume, I will take a lot of pictures, hopefully with Sebastian as Jolly! It's gonna be s much fun cosplaying Felicita, as I think of her as a badass female character, and with this wig, I feel confident!

Check out UNIQSO and their wigs, lenses, makeup and kigurumi if you're interested! And use the code "niisuke" to get 10% off if you feel like it. It's always nice with a discount, right?

Thank you for reading, see you next time! ^__^

Health Issues and Other Problems?

I start writing on this blog posts all the time, but for some reason, I never finish. I'm really bad with writing personal things about my daily life and such as I never feel like my daily life is interesting enough. I mean, I'm just a normal, average person who tries to go to school, work, and be social from time to time. For the most, my life is not all that exciting. It's just from time to time, when some event happens.

But I realized that I feel better when I write these "lame" sort of posts. It was why I originally started blogging anyway! To keep it as a public diary, speak my opinions and share my thoughts, and such. Just a place where I could write longer texts and leave for anyone to read, if I felt like it. For people to CHOOSE to read instead of randomly having the text showing up on some Facebook feed. 

So lately has been pretty rough. Saying that doesn't feel like a good way to start things, but I'm sure many can relate. Life is really a roller coaster for most. You feel happy when things go alright and are somewhat easy to handle, but after some setbacks, things might feel a bit heavier and you get tired and less hopeful a bit easier. Especially if you never get enough time to recover from the really heavy setbacks.

If you have been, or are a student, especially in high school, you might know how stressful it can be. And with a health issue, family or friends problems, it gets even worse. Since I re-did my 2nd High School year, this is my 4th year in High School, and the last. I already know that I'm not going to make it with all the grades and stuff, but I will stick to the important courses, I finish the last ones after I have graduated. As long as I finish the right courses, and enough courses, I will still be able to do that luckily.

The school environment, is not really what I need right now. 16-20 years old running around, yelling, pushing each other, throwing things, playing music, being childish, loud and rude, is not what I need when I want to learn things, and catch up from what I missed after being sick so much. It's causing more stress, which is causing me to get even sicker. Of course most teachers try to help me, as they are so super amazing and my school is over all lovely - except for the wild, childish students. I'm getting a different schedule set up and special assignments so I can keep up and try to do stuff at home. But it's still stressful as I miss being able to go to school properly. Also in the beginning of this year of school, my schedule was a bit fucked up for over a month and I missed a lot of classes because of it, which meant I missed a lot of introductions.

I'm working hard to keep up with the school work, but some things outside school keeps making it rough. For example, as I can't live with any of my parents, I have to apply for economic help every month, to pay for my apartment, food and bills. The rules and agreements for that is rather stressful, and I would rather get a full time job instead, to be sure I get my money, and earn enough money for things, and being able to put away money for savings. I'm currently not allowed to do that, as all money I have have to be used to pay for food and bills. Next to that, there's this problem that there's just really hard for me and Sebastian to move together, because of many different reasons, and no one will rent to place for us. Or, some people will, but the rent is either to high, or the place is too far away from Stockholm. As I go to school here, I look for jobs here, and have everyone I hold dear here, and Sebastian wishes to live in Stockholm, it's just difficult.

We keep trying though. And I look for new jobs every weeks. So far I've been to a couple of interviews but that's it. 

But don't get me wrong!

I'm living a great life. I'm SO grateful for what I've got. The apartment, the fact that I can still go to school, that so many people helps me etc, EVERYTHING is things that I know I'm lucky to have. And on top of that, I get to do things that I love. Work with fashion, cosplay, writing and videos. That's just the greatest bonus.

I just wish I had a more stable life, where I knew for sure about things like my living situation, money and occupation. Just like anyone. But I will keep trying hard. Especially the last 2 year has been such a struggle, BUT I've made it so far with so much help, and lovely people who has kept up my spirit. For example my foster dads, my bonus family (Cilla, Simon and Patrik), my awesome friends and fiancé. Without them, I wouldn't have been here today.

And without other people, I wouldn't have been making videos. Eat Your Kimchi for example. They encouraged me through their videos, and the two times I've met them. My best friend Emily, who got me into Youtube after I had admired her for years, not knowing what a truly amazing person she really is. And then my boyfriend for telling me that I'm not silly or ugly, which I whine about everytime I stand infront of the camera or try to edit a video, haha... And of course all of you who watch, and leave such sweet comments. 

I really want to be able to continue with my work, as well as fixing this last year of school. I really hope that I can get a job, and I really hope that my health will get better. I tried to make a video about my health issues as many people tend to ask, but I wasn't satisfied, so i have to make a new one. And probably maybe a blogpost as well.

It's just... amazing how much you guys have shown how much you care for me, and it's one of the best feelings in the world. Whenever one of you tell me that I have helped you, just by a small piece of advice, or by just making my posts, that makes me day much better. Being able to help is my biggest dream.

So I try my hardest to stay above the surface and swim towards land now when I'm drowning in feelings, physical issues and stress. I know I can make it, and so can you. So try! Keep trying!
