What's in My Backpack? + School Supplies Haul! 2014

It's that time of year again.  Yes, it's back to school time!  My school started last week on Monday, so I decided to show you guys what's in my backpack, and my back to school supplies haul.  Since I didn't buy much school supplies this year, I combined it with the what's in my backpack post.  Let's get started!

What's in My Backpack?
Main pocket:
-binder
-folder
- 2 notebooks (one shown in first picture)
-pencil case (click here to see what's in my pencil case!)
-a book (the book shown in the picture is The Maze Runner)
-band flip folder
-Algebra 2/Trig textbook

Front pocket:
-tissue
-hand sanitizer
-pouch to carry feminine products (as shown in the first picture)
-scientific calculator
-ID
-wallet
- iPhone

Some of the stuff I got from my back to school supplies haul are shown in the picture.  I just got a binder, a folder, and a notebook.  Pretty simple.  I also got a scientific calculator, after I found out that I needed it.  Anyways, that's it for this post!  I hope you guys have an amazing school year! :)


P.S. As a freshmen in high school, I have less time in my hands.  Therefore, I can only post around 2 times a month instead of 4.  Occasionally, if I have more time, I will have more than 2 posts per month.  I am sorry about that.  Still keep on reading my blog, since I am NOT going to stop posting for this time being.  Thank you for understanding! :)

July Favorites 2014 ♡

Yayyy guys, I'm back!  Sorry I haven't posted for a long time.  If you read my previous post, you would know that I was actually on vacation.  In addition to that, I didn't have any time in my hands even when I did came back from my vacation.  But it's okay because I'm back with a new post.  Today's post is my July Favorites.  I never did a favorites post before, so I decided to do one.  Without further ado, below are my favorites for the month of July!

Fashion

1. This outfit - I wore this outfit many times during the summer because I think the shirt and the shorts go very well together.  By the way, the white clothing on top of the crop top is a tank top.  The crop top is kind of clear, so I wore a tank top underneath it.

2. This Flannel shirt - I either wear this around my waist or wear it as a jacket.  I think tying a flannel shirt around your waist will make every outfit a bit better. :)









3. These black high waisted shorts - I love these shorts because they are high waisted AND they have multiple buttons AND they look really nice with any top.







4. This tank top - Since summer is really hot, this tank top is PERFECT for the summer weather (as you can see).  I wear the tank top (on the right) under the polka dot tank top.








Beauty
5. Pimple Remover - So I bought both of these items from Taiwan.  How it works :  First, wipe the pimple using sanitizing wipes.  The tool (on the right) is to poke the pimple when there is like a white head on it (which I know that in America, pimples aren't treated this way).  And after you get one of those pimple tape thingies (on the left), and then tape it on the pimple.  You take the tape off when the tape turns white (the tape is clear when you first put it on).  I only used these products once, but they work so well.  I had this pimple on my forehead that I couldn't get rid of.  But when I used this method, surprisingly, the pimple shrank within a day, and was basically gone by 2 days.  I do not know if they sell these at America, but if they do, you guys should definitely try this method!

Food 
6. Pineapple cake - Since I went to Taiwan for vacation, I bought these pineapple pastries.  If you didn't know what they are, they are pineapple and winter melon jam with a crumbly, buttery crust that seals everything together.  Taiwan has the BEST pineapple cakes.  They are delicious!  They also sell it here, but in my opinion, it's not as good as the ones at Taiwan.



7. Sun Cake - This is another sweet treat I got from Taiwan.  The picture on the right is how the sun cake looks like (sorry it is a crappy picture cause the outer layer was kind of messed up).  Anyways, basically the filling of sun cake is, according to wikipedia, maltose aka condensed malt sugar.  I don't really know how to describe the outer layer but just look in the picture. :)  These taste just as good as the pineapple pastries.  Again, they sell these at America, but the ones sold at Taiwan are better in my opinion.  

Music 
 8. Break Free by Ariana Grande - I really love this song.  It sounds different from her other songs, but it's just as good, if not, better (than some).

9. Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj - Gosh I love this song's vibe.  When you listen to this song, you feel powerful.

10. Boss by Fifth Harmony - This song is so freaking catchy!  This song is more mature than their other songs.  I actually like these kind of song style better.

11. Chandelier by Sia - Now, I know this song came out around 4 months ago, but I recently started to listen to it.  And I LOVE it.  Every time I listen to this song, I feel like singing it, haha.

Movie

12. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - So this movie came out 4 months ago, but I recently watched it on the plane since I was bored. My friend really wanted to watch the movie; that's how I knew about it.  I didn't think that I would like those super hero movies, but this movie proved me wrong.  After I watched it, I loved it.  I especially like the fight scenes.  And let's talk about Scarlett Johansson for a sec.  She is so awesome as Black Widow!  I loved her from the beginning of the movie.  Like a woman that can kick a**?  What's better than that?










13. Lucy - So I watched this movie a few days ago.  I saw the trailer, and right away, I was like I have to watch it.  I love this movie because it has an interesting concept.  I loved looking at Lucy kicking people's a**.  And also Scarlett Johansson is in it ahaha.  She's so pretty and is an amazing actress!  Scarlett is now one of my favorite actresses! :)  Also, an interesting fact, in case you guys didn't know already, is that some parts of this movie was actually shot at Taiwan!  Therefore, when I was watching it, I felt really proud! :D  Anyways, you guys should WATCH IT!









App 
14. Snapchat - I actually had this app on my phone for quite a while.  In the month of July, I used this app a lot (usually I don't use it much), so I had to include this in my July Favorites.  Snapchat is actually a good place to go on your phone if you are bored.  You can make snapchat videos, and spam your friends lol.

Anyways, that's it for this post!  Again, I'm sorry for not posting for such a loooongggg time.  Hopefully, I can post more regularly!  Well, thank you so so much for reading, and stay tuned until my next post! :)
