Made bento for my fiance. Tamagoyaki and fried vienna sausage marinated in shoyu and brown sugar over rice with furikake, with broccoli, carrots, and oranges, and a vanilla macaroon and strawberry-cake Kit Kat for dessert. Tiny little love note from Artbox to top it all off. Tomorrow's bento will be similar, but with ratatouille over pasta as a main course.
I'm down 18lbs since I was posting last, and still want to lose another 7 or 8lbs before the summer cons. Parasoul especially will require another couple inches off the waist, and I'm really tired of this arm flab that sticks around no matter how much muscle I gain or how low my body fat percentage drops (I'm at 24.5% as of my last weigh-in at the gym, down from 27%, but still this fucking arm fat).
It's been warm/temperate enough out to start taking fashion seriously again. The last month was full of rainy days and inexplicably cold mornings that baked off into incredibly hot, dry afternoons, but it seems to be shaping up into a pretty nice summer. I'm too caught up in sewing costumes to be working on clothing right now, but I have a backlog of designs I want to try once the con rush is over.
I still haven't found a set of lower lashes I like on their own, mine are just TOO long, curly, and dark to be able to do the white-waterline trick - I have to do the kind where the lower line is filled with black to permit lower falsies to sit correctly :/ Gotta keep experimenting, though - definitely wearing doll eyes for Parasoul, and possibly for a couple other cosplays.
