Strawberry Ice and Nail Designs

Hello everybody!  I'm here to post some pictures from when I went to California last month.  By the way, southern California (Irvine, Los Angeles, places around there) is a pretty great place to get really really really good Asian food.  I recommend a place who's specialty is Taiwanese food, Class 302.  :)

These pictures really don't have much to do with anything I did in California (I really went for a wedding), but I really like them and thought I'd share them with you.  I especially like how clear the detail is because I used the "macro" setting to take the close-ups. 



Pictures #1 & 2:  Strawberry Shaved Ice!  I had this on the last day I was in California, and we ate this outside in the bright sun.  For those in the Midwest and other places that are already super cold by October, it was in the 80's!  The only thing I would have added was some chocolate drizzle for the strawberries.  I'm a lover of chocolate-covered strawberries!  Gosh...  These pictures make my mouth water even now!




Pictures #3 & 4:  Yes, these are my wonderfully beautiful fingers and sleek blue iPod!  Haha, just kidding.  A couple of nights before I took these pictures, I was visiting with old friends I hadn't seen in a while.  We ended up doing our nails because one of us brought her whole collection of nail polish.  It was fun and my nails matched the dress that I was wearing for the wedding.  I've got to say, my photography is better than my nail job.  My nails were completely perfect the first night and then I chipped and nicked them all over.  I might have even bitten one of them in my sleep, which is very strange.  Oh well...   




Pictures #5 & 6:  Once again, my fingers are the stars of the show!  I actually did my nails again a week and a half ago.  If you can see the purple underneath the silver crackle, that was my original color for my nails.  Then, being the wonderfully clumsy person I am, I managed to mess them up in one hour.  I feel quite accomplished though, since I had the brains to cover it up with crackle.  :)  And in the second picture, I'm holding these AMAZING Japanese pens called Frixion Point.  I love them immensely because they're erasable!  I don't even mean leave-streaks-of-color erasable.  They're really really erasable!  But...  I think they're only sold in Japan. 


Picture #7:  This picture should probably go along with 3 & 4.  The e-ma circle thing is actually a box for candy.  And once again, it's Japanese!  It's probably my favorite Asian brand of candy.  They're little pearls of sweet tartness that are available in different flavors.  Wow, now I sound like I'm doing sales!  Point of the story, try them out!

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures I shared with you.  If you want to copy them for any reason, please give credit where it's due!  Thank you so much for reading!
