Bad Hair Day Solutions (YT VIDEO)

Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend. Mine was very productive! So I've been going home on weekends (since the airfare is reasonable) and slowly bringing back things from my dorm back home. Since the superferry is gone, and I was planning on using the ferry to bring my things back, I'm doing it the hard way ARGH!

So Ethan turned 6 years old on the 14th so I went home to celebrate. We took him to the park and all the good stuff kids like. Friday had a really nice dinner with John and his family at Dragon Dragon (chinese restaurant). Saturday woke up early to go to the park and play some t-ball with Ethan and my sister and jog a little. Yesterday my boyfriend took my siblings and I to Iao Valley to swim, loved it! I have to go there more often.

I have two new vids; it's part1&2 for BAD HAIR DAY SOLUTIONS. I thought this would be helpful since I use these styles almost everyday when I don't have time in the morning or don't really care for making my hair too done-up.

I have an online quiz due at midnight so I'm gonna study real quick. If you have any ideas on new videos I should make, let me know! I need some requests. Thanks =)

xx, Nikki.

So much, so little time.

I loved my easter weekend. It seemed very long even though it was just 3 days. Anyways the weeks are winding down on this semester and I'm so excited to get out of here. I've started packing some things in an extra suitcase to bring when I go home on weekends. That way I can slowly bring my things back. Since the ferry is gone (GRRR!) shipping my things is gonna be a hassle. I've accumulated a lot in this little room haha. I packed my sneakers, heavy jackets, and some computer things so far.

Hopefully I'll be making some videos tomorrow. I was busy Monday and today with homework. My speech was OKAy.. OMG my allergies started acting up while I was presenting and I couldn't breathe through my nose!!! I was small kine freaking out 'cause I couldn't breathe and talk comfortably! And then I felt like the room was getting hotter and IDK I just started to freak out. So I had to stop and take a breather before I'd pass out! This is the first time this happened, but with SPRING time my allergies are the worst. And that classroom had NO air circulation or AC! Then my ears felt clogged and I couldn't hear myself. Baahhh! But other than that my friends really liked my topic (Sweatshops) and didn't really notice I was freaking out lol! So, it's all good.

I have so much to do, and so little time! I need to find an article for my big economics paper, my final speech, send transcripts and all that stuff to UH Hilo, study study study, and find a summer job on Maui. :/ I need more hours in a day.

Okay well it's getting pretty late, and I'm up because I took a long afternoon nap (so bad!) so goodnight lovelies!

I love my subbies!

So I'm at home (on Maui) in my room, supposed to be researching things for my speech; but ofcourse got off track. Anyways I wanted to blog because I got 10 subscribers in ONE DAY.. haha well to me that's a lot. I have 180 now, it's so weird haha but yeah thanks to my new subbies.

I also put a watermark on my new videos so hopefully that will stop girlyvue from STEALING my videos. And if you haven't heard about it I made a little video about how I feel. But from now on I'm gonna be more careful.

Today was such a long day. My boyfriend and I took my siblings to see the Hannah Montana movie, it was gooood. But so crowded, it was nuts! Ate at the food court, then a bbq at my boyfriend's house.

Okay so I've become twitter obsessed (thanks to my friends); so follow ME :) my user name's NIKKITHEBRAT. It's funny 'cause my bf wonders why I get those twitter txts haha he doesn't get it.

Well gonna go to bed, bye loves, xx.

Life, as of now.

Being here at school changes my moods. It may sound weird but I only enjoy being here at UH when I'm in class. Because in class I learn a lot, feel like I can interract with people, and concentrate on getting things done. But when I'm not in class and I'm just in my dorm, or getting some food I feel so disconnected. Like I was gettting dinner last night and I felt so like.. alone, or out of place. I felt like everyone was looking at me or I felt like I didn't belong in this place. And I feel that way a lot. It's like being stuck in a public place ALL THE TIME. Well it is actually. I can't wait to move to Hilo and get my own apartment OFF-CAMPUS. So then when I'm done with school I'm OUT OF SCHOOL and not surronded by these 'college' kids all the damn time. You know what I mean? At least in high school I could just drive away and look foreward to going home. But here, it's not the same. I guess just having lack of transportation and lack of a lot of options makes it harder for me. But that's just me.

Anyways I'm bummed I don't have my USB because I want to make videos. So I'm brainstorming ways to make videos. I do have quick capture but the sound doesn't work!!!! So I don't know how to fix it haha.

I did well on my economics midterm! I got above average so thank goodness. I stayed up all night to study for that midterm. That really made my day. Oh and on another note; it's funny how people are so interested in my NAILS! Even a GUY was like, oh nice nails did you do them yourself?! LOL!!

I'm gonna find a way to edit my blogspot layout. I'm gonna go download paint shop pro, I miss making my own graphics, hmmm..

Spring Break


The only good thing about Spring Break being over; is that Summer vacation gets closer. My vacation seemed very long haha, but I had so much fun each day. Everyday is so entertaining with my family, especially with my siblings. Spent my time eating all kinds of food, taking my brother to his t-ball games/practices, obsessing over twilight movie and reading my book. I was very strict on my spending and didn't but much (no clothes!).

John worked practically all week so I saw him first thing in the morning (he sleeps over with me when I visit) until he goes to work then late at night when he's done. It's amazing how he still makes me laugh my ass off and understands my crazy ways.

I left my camera USB at home :'( *freaks out* so I can't upload the pics and videos I planned on editing to make a 'spring break' video. GAHHHH! And my laptop doesn't have the right port for my memory card. So oh wellllll...

I'm so obsessed (so is my mom and sister) over the Twilight Saga. I have like 2 posters of Edward lol and like watch everything Twilight on youtube. I love New Moon<3.>
*New video posted: Haul: MAC, China Glaze, and other goodies. (yay for zebra nails)!

Videos to Edit + HW to do :/

Hey guys hope you had a nice weekend. I sure did! I notice that when I'm home I'm constantly eating lol. Everyone (including my family and my bf's family) love to make me food when I'm home :). The food here at school is okay, but it gets tiring.

Anyways haven't posted any videos for a few days. Gonna edit some soon, I have three I think that I've recorded but haven't edited. Oh yeah! And I got tagged by DefineRoxanne to do a '6 products I can't live w/o.' So I'm excited to do that one.

Rimmel Glam'Eyes Mascara

MY REVIEW So I bought this new mascara from Longs Drugs. It's the cutest thing. Obviously the packaging is pink and black with like fishnet print. And the best part is that crown, hehe! The bristles are very precise (very similar to sephora atomic volume) the different sized bristles help grasp and pull your lashes. The application is okay, the straight shape makes it kind of hard to get into the middle of your lashes. I find it better than the lash blast, which tends to jump clump and not separate as well. As for lasting effects, I was so surprised that my lashes still held it's shape. And I noticed that the length was still present. The length is amazing! It made my lashes look so much longer and you could see my individual lashes (not clumps). So it's true to what it says about lengthening your lashes.

"Ultra Volume, high definition mascara" is what it says on the packaging.
And I bought 001 Black.
4.5/5 Rating; Doesn't thicken well, but elongates and doesn't clump =].

It makes me happy, hehe.

Custom Eyeshadow Palettes!!



So I had a lot of time on my hands. I had this mini dvd+rw disc next to me and thought about making it into a palette. So here's how it came out! So the first one is a brown/gold/black theme to match the cheetah print. And the second is a pink theme with pink zebra print (so sexy!). I had these prints saved as "backgrounds" for my computer so I simply printed them out and cut them to fit the CD case. Check out the videos on my youtube. http://www.youtube.com/nikkithebrat

Sephora by O.P.I

I WANT!!! They're only $9. Aren't they soooo cute? The colors are so hot! I'm liking the one all the way to the right of the picture above. So I've been browsing sephora.com and did some ratings and stuff. I really want to go to the mall and check them out :).

Fire alarms suck.

Quest crew won for ABDC, I really wasn't surprised. All-boy bboy crews always win haha. But I kinda wished Beat Freaks would win, oh well I didn't vote anyway.

Okay so earlier while I was watching the finale (10:50ish) the fire alarm goes off at my dorm. I'm like NOOOO. And you could hear everyone in the dorm kinda say the same thing. So we were outside for like a frickn' hour (in the DAMN COLD, windy, drizzly), it sucked. So I got back in not too long ago, and that just irritated me. But I'm okay now that I'm warm. I swear my dorm has had so many fire alarms it's ridiculous!

My speech went good today. I noticed I kept swaying my body during my speech, ughh! (We have to record& watch our speech). But very few people showed up in class, so that made it easier. Other than that today was okay. There was a huge protest thing going on at our school, it was crazzzyy. People telling us that we're all sinners, going to hell unless we turn to God. It's like; I don't need you to preach to me - everyone has their own beliefs - NO ONE IS RIGHT & NO ONE IS WRONG. Just have faith, that's what I think.

I have to discect a fetal pig tomorrow omg I don't want to :(. It grosses me out lol. If it's an organ I'm okay with it, but it's a whole entire baby pig!

Gonna go edit a video and post it up so, peace <3.

Increase the peace!

Hey so I'm currently TRYING to study for my anthropology quiz. It's kinda of boring and common sense type things so I'm not too worried. I have my speech tomorrow ahh! I'm getting a little nervous. Anyways I'm watching my roommates dog (no were not supposed to have one) 'cause she was whining so she's just cruising around my room.

Next week is going to be HELL. Why? Because I have like 4 EXAMS and 1 SPEECH. Like that's insane! 2 EXAMS on Monday, one on thursday (speech on thursday, too!), and one on Friday. GRR I'm so worried and mad. lol.

So a friend of mine deleted her youtube because of people hating. And that is so lame, for people to hate like that! It's like.. why come on myspace to just leave nasty comments. It's like you have no life. And that person is probably a stupid insecure person on their computer typing away thinking THEY'RE SOOOO COOL. So lame. It's like, fuckk off haters. Sorry for the language. I get some haters too. Like one person said 'who cares about your hair?' It's like, well don't watch FOOL the title only says NEW HAIR, dummmmy.

It's okay val, you do what you do girl; I'm gonna miss the vids :(.

So there's my little rant. I cleaned my room today, major! And did a room tour so I'm gonna do that later 'cause I'm gonna be busy.

BTW, youtube for me is just for fun. A way of expressing myself, because I love love design, fashion, makeup and organizing. So deal with it =P!

New Video: Product Reviews














I'm waiting for my youtube video to upload. Yes, I made another video. It's going to be on product reviews (mostly negative reviews). But I wanted to let other people know about the quality of the products. So look out for that video. I'm like really hyper and I was laughing at myself when I watched my video haha, so yeah enjoy it.

So I finally finished my informative speech! I must say, it's fricking awesome. I'm so proud of myself. It came out to 4 pages, and I made my power point to go with it, then made my notecards. I just simply printed out my outline and glued them to the index card, lol, is that bad?!! Whatever, speeches don't scare me anyways. I'm comfortable talking in front of people.

Today was so boring at school, watching speeches, listening to economic lecture, then an anthropology video. Atleast it was cruise. I have a quiz and speech on thursday, and two midterms both on monday, aaahhh!

Well I'm going to go watch some TV to kill time. I start class super late tomorrow, at 1:30 so I can stay up late AND sleep in :) yay. <3.

Video Upload + Tagged!

Hey guys, so it's Monday afternoon. I flew back from Maui early this morning, and I had such a great, fun weekend. My younger brother (5yo) plays tee-ball, so I watched them play their game, it's so cute! Spent lots of time with my boyfriend, eating and watching movies as usual. We watched Madea goes to Jail, which was okay, I usually love Tyler Perry movies. Did some shopping for toiletries for my dorm etc. And got some more revlon cream shadows, covergirl loose powder, and some more cheap items.

The weather here is crazy! It's been raining and windy as hell this past weekend. I kinda like it though. I love getting to wear my boots and scarves, and bundle up.

Well I'm uploading a video now (purple and gray smokey eye) and gonna make a video because I got tagged! I got the 'what's in my purse' tag, so I'm excited to do it. Yay to all my new subscribers also. Well gonna go surf the net for a bit, ttyl!

Updates

I've had this blogspot since.. December? And didn't plan on using it. But since a lot of youtubers use it, I think I should too. I guess this is where I'll just keep people up to date of videos. 'Cause I can't type it all out on that left sidebar haha.

So, I usually tape 2 videos at a time on days I decide to create a video. So I don't upload them right away. I kind of wait a day or two and post one. So I have about 4 videos already done, that I just haven't posted yet. They include: golden brown tutorial, foundation application, vanity re-do, and purple & gray tutorial. So keep an eye out for those.

I am SO happy that people are liking my organization/design videos. It doesn't really matter to me how many views I get, as long as each person who watches takes something from my videos. If you can't tell already my videos are more informative than simply just entertainment. I LOVE sharing my tips with people, and I have so many more ideas!

I want to start doing some tips for dorm decorationg and organizing. But one day I'll have to get that all set up and make a list of tips I have, sooo exciting :).

My bulletin board video I made.. it's not as good as I wanted it to be, so I'm going to re-do it one day. But that video is just so time-consuming. And I think I'm gonna buy some new materials because the ones I have now (fabric and ribbon) are too light and the camera doesn't catch it well. I want good quality videos!

Okay well that's just an update. If you don't really care haha I'm sorry you started reading ;).
