My Sunflower! ♥

Hi guys! Not too long ago I was at Walmart and I purchased a pack of sunflower seeds. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers; they grow so big and look so beautiful in the sun. I've bought tons of seed packets in the past of various fruits and flowers, with aspirations to have a big garden but I never got around to planting them. But I actually stopped being super lazy for once and planted three seeds in a pot and put them in the sun. I never expected them to grow and kind of forgot about them for a week or two. Luckily, it has been raining pretty frequently and when I went into my backyard to check them, one of the was actually growing! I was so excited! I was worried that it might have just been a weed growing but now I'm pretty sure its actually a flower. Its a little saddening that only one flower sprouted but I really don't mind. I love my little flower. I give it water everyday and I'm really surprised at how quickly its grow. Here's a few pictures!

My flower today~

A few days ago!

(Sorry the pictures are fuzzy! I use my dads camera and I'm not great a focusing~)

So yeah! I really can't wait until it grows big enough to plant in a yard. I'll post about it ever few weeks. It feels weird being so happy over this little flower, but I can't help it.  I hope it grows big! 

Favorite animes of the moment! ♥

Hi there! So, I'm a huge anime fan and I am usually watching 3 or 4 at a time. So here are some of the animes I follow daily! (They are all instant all time favorites too!)

SIND SIE DAS ESSEN? NEIN, WIR SIND DIE JAGER!

This is pretty much one of the most epic animes I've ever watched. It has such a different and promising plot that it instantly became super popular. There are 13 episodes so far. Its full of action and giant human like monsters that eat people...whats not to love? The story follows Eren as he battles titans with this sister, friend and others. I can't give to much away but its AWESOME!

Okay this anime literally just came out and so far there is only one episode but its already one of my favorite and

LET ME

TELL YOU

WHY

The animation quality is excellent. Yes. That's that only reason. Hehe just kidding. Its about Haruka and his friends whom are all swimmers. If you're a fujoshi, you'll love it. If you just like sexy swimmers, you'll love it. Its obviously full of fan service but it has a promising plot.Watch the first episode and you'll see how great it it! 

I've watched all 25 episodes of the first season and season two is coming out soon of Kuroko's Basketball. The story follows Kuroko and Kagami and the rest of the team as the make their way to defeating the Generation Of Miracles. This anime is so gay awesome! It makes gay basketball seem so intense! All of the team members are obviously gay amazing. hehehe. 

Cropping with Gimp 2.8! ♥

Hey dudes! Soooo, recently I learned a lot of cool photo editing skills using the program Gimp2.8. For those of you that don't know what that is, its just a lesser (some would say better) version of Photoshop. People like me that don't need all those extra crazy editing tools will find Gimp much easier. And even lesser version of Gimp is Photoscape, so I you don't care for difficult photo editing, download that!~

Now, I see a lot of picture on tumblr of photos with transparent backgrounds or clips of  part of a photo and I've always wondered "How do they crop that out?". So I'm going to show you how to simply crop a photo like this:

In this picture I cropped out the body of a character from one anime and put it on top of a another picture as a joke for tumblr! It was really easy once you get the hand of it! I hope by following this you can learn how to crop too!

Banana Honey and Lemon Mask ♥

Hello, hello! Yesterday I found some time  in between the 4th of July festivities to make a quick and fruity mask that I think you guys will really like! You only need 3 ingredients to make it!

Honey

A lemon

A ripe banana

First, take your banana and cut it into pieces. The hardest part of this mask is the mixing. It takes awhile for the bananas to start getting mushy because they'll be slipping around the bowl. It you want, you can always use a blender or even your hands! I endured through the bananas slipping around and eventually....

That little guy is my frustration of mashing the bananas lol

  It will look like this! Make sure its not too chunky! 

Next, take your honey and add about two tablespoons. Mix it all up!

Last squeeze in some lemon! Don't add TOO much that it becomes watery, but add as much as you'd like! Lemon helps get rid of acne marks and scars and brightens your face!

And you're done! Apply the mask all over you face and wait 15 minutes. Then wash it off with warm water! My skin was instantly so much softer and brighter! This is definitely one of my absolute favorite natural masks.

Bananas have a ton of benefits for not only your health but your skin!

•  Banana is a natural moisturizer for you skin! It has vitamin A that restores lost moisture and repairs damaged skin! 
• Banana contains vitamin C that helps maintain natural glow to your skin!
• All the nutrients in banana helps to fight off wrinkles and keep your skin looking bright and youthful!
• Banana also helps puffy eye bags! The potassium in bananas draws out excess fluid from under the skin and reduces swelling!

Bananas also contain a good amount of fiber which also masks them awesome energy boosters!

If you're allergic to bananas or just plain don't like them, a honey and lemon mask with a different fruit such as strawberries or avocado will work wonders as well!

Try out this mask and tell me how it works for you!

My Music Monday ♥

Hi guys! I thought of a cool post idea that I can do every other Monday or so, where I share my favorite songs of the moment. Kind of similar to the Music Monday's that Simon and Martina from YouTube do! I don't think I'll do one every Monday because I tend to listen to the same songs for weeks on end before finding some new ones! I mostly listen to kpop (Korean pop) but I listen to really anything, as long as it sounds good. Yuna and Frank Ocean are some of my favorite artists. I'm open to recommendations as well! Don't worry if you think you're music taste is too different for me (I've jammed to Die Antwoord and Pierce The Veil, both completely different from kpop LOL)  So yeah! You might like a song or two that I post, so check them out!

1. Girl's Day - Female President; sexy MV!
2. B.A.P - Coffee Shop
3. Dal Shabet - Be Ambitious
4. 2PM - A. D.T.O.Y / 2PM - Comeback When You Hear This Song; I've been listening to these songs the most. Watch the music videos! I literally melted.
   
5. EXO - Wolf / EXO - Baby Don't Cry
6. Sunny Hill - Darling of All Hearts
7. Girls' Generation - Love & Girls / Girl's Generation - Liuga Franca; My girls look so beautiful in the Love & Girls PV! Liuga Franca is my absolute favorite!!
8. SHINee - Sleepless Nights/ SHINee - Orgel; I'm a shawol so its only natural that I love everything they do. This album came out a while ago but I listen to these sons daily.
9. Lee Hyori - Miss Korea/ Lee Hyori - Bad Girl; Miss Korea is my favorite song and I love the Bad Girl MV.
10. SHINee - Aside/ SHINee - Beautiful/ SHINee - Girls, Girls, Girls/ SHINee - Punch Drunk Love; basically this whole album. I'm a shawol what can I say!
