My Fave Chictopians

Raisa — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:49:05 +0000

I’ve been a lot more active on Chictopia than Youtube lately. I’m really sorry! It’s just so much easier to take pictures and type than record, edit, publish, and then upload. x_X I will get around to making a video when I have time, promise! ^_^ But for now, I’d like to share some of my favorite Chictopians to you all. They’re all a great inspiration!

Annabel – I swear, she is the thrift queen! She has a ton of great pieces from thrift stores and she totally sells them. She is also very adorable. ^_^
Camiller – Her DIY projects blow me away! She wears a lot of basic pieces but always manages to make them interesting.
Sillyeuropean – Her amazing vintage style is simply to die for!
Strawberrykoi – Another awesome vintage lover. Her dresses are breathtaking!
Slumberdoll – Another basics lover but puts them together very well.
Manila Chictopians – Pimping my fellow Manila members! If you’d like to get a good idea of what Filipino fashion is like, check this gallery out. ^o^ (You might see my outfits pop in every now and then.)

I hope these people inspire you to create your own, unique style. Fashion is fun!

(Oh and if you don’t know already, my Chictopia blog is here. ~_^)

Help!

What do you do when a creepy person persistently bugs you on Youtube? o_O;; I’m not really that worried; I just wish said creeper would leave me alone!

Fashion Blog!

Show and Tell: Part 2 is still under construction! I’m so sorry for the delay, everyone! I’ve just been overwhelmed lately and videos have really taken a backseat in my life right now. BUT! I do have good news! ^_^ I started a fashion blog two weeks ago for those who want to take a sneak peek at what outfits are coming up on the video, or simply just want to follow my style. You lovely readers will be the first to see this, so feel special! LOL Add me as your favorite if you like what you see! ^o^

Video in the Works

Raisa — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 22:18:24 +0000

The Upcoming Videos page is severly outdated. *_* But I’d just like everyone to know that I am working on a video right now, the second part of my Show and Tell: Clothes video to be exact. ^_^ It’s gonna take a while to finish as I’m recording my outfits one day at a time, but please sit tight. I will have it up as soon as possible!

A couple of people have been asking me why I haven’t been making as much videos lately. Well, as you all may know, school started again a few weeks ago and I’ve been very busy trying to get back into my routine. I had too much fun during my vacation, and I’ve been having a hard time shaking off the vacation blues. That’s why I’m focusing on my studies right now. My channel has taken a backseat as a result. I know I have a lot of messages to answer on Youtube, and I’m trying my best to get to them all in time, but please be patient with me. I just have other priorities right now. T_T If you’d like to stay in touch outside Youtube, I do have a Livejournal. It’s a lot more personal than this blog, so if you don’t mind the picspams and emo entries, go ahead and friend me over there. ^o^

My curls using my Helen of Troy curling iron. This hairstyle has been on demand for quite a while now. Watch out for a tutorial soon!

How to Blow Dry Short Hair

Here’s a more informative tutorial on blowdrying short hair. I think it looks really good, and much neater than how I do mine. ^^;;

Horses are like little puppies!

I’d tag this as Photo of the Year 2008. Never mind the sunburn; I adore horses!

No Sicklies Allowed!

Raisa — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:54:00 +0000

Just my luck… I suddenly get sick when I have so much to do! x_X I’ll try to make a video today anyway (currently publishing another one I recorded a few dats ago!), but it might be a music-over tutorial. I can’t talk that well right now. T_T Speaking of videos, I still have to put together my New Year’s video with my family. I know, I know, OMGLATE but I really want to show you guys what we did on January 1. Heeheehee!

In other news, my skin asthma is acting up again. T_____T I’ve been getting patches of chicken skin on my arms. I think it’s because I stopped applying lotion regularly. I stay up so late at night (5 AM, hehe!) that by the time I get ready for bed, I’m too tired to do the extra stuff, so I just brush my teeth, wash my face, and go to bed. I gotta sleep earlier too. Rawr.

Happy New Year!

Hello 2009!
Here’s to another awesome year.
