Help wanted! (Future post related)

Hey guys! I've been planning out a post related to dating Japanese guys for months now. I've gotten lots of questions about it, and since I know it would interest a lot of my reader base it seemed like a good topic to address. The nature of this topic will be to help others understand common cultural clashes, "should-knows" and stereotypes of dating a Japanese guy as a foreigner.

However, I'm a "date for keeps" kind of girl, and therefore can offer only one-sided advice and observations since I've only been in one serious relationship with a Japanese man. That's why I need your help!  I'm looking for any stories, insights, experiences, and/or observations you'd like to share. You do not need to have personal experience to contribute to this article, but your sources should be valid. I am considering compiling an interview for willing participants, as well.

I'm looking for as much information as I can get so that I can offer a diversified post. Depending on how much information I receive, this may even turn into a series where your information/stories are featured (with permission from you, of course!), but we'll have to wait and see :)

Thanks so much in advance, guys! I'm really excited to work on this post with you!

First Pair of Circle Lenses! (GEO Forest Grey)

This is just a quick little buffer post, but last week I received my first pair of circle lenses from Eyecandy Lens :)
I ended up going for Geo's Forest Grey because I thought it would be a suitable diameter (15mm) and color blend (my natural eyes are a weird blue-grey mix). Though my iris is large in comparison with the shape of my eye already, these lenses looked HUGE on me! Next time I think I'm going to try a 14.5mm diameter, but I still love these nonetheless.



I can't write a full review on these since they are my first pair, but I definitely recommend them. They're surprisingly comfortable given their size, and the design is BEAUTIFUL! They're surprisingly dark around the rims but offer good variation and light towards the center of the pupil. They also blend beautifully with the natural color of your eye. It's been weird getting used to them, particularly because they seem SO large in contrast to what I'm used to seeing, but I still love them. I think they'll particularly appeal to more Agejo and Dolly-kei girls because they're so dramatic :)


Well, that's all for tonight! Hopefully I'll get another "real" post up soon!

Sweet dreams, everyone~
