Herabibi's Yap Corner

 wow. two blogs one day! huh! I figured I'd revive this when I want to add into some of the commentary I've been seeing from other gals in the community. As always, if you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear from the fellow gals on this too!! So if you have noted in the gaijin gal comm, a lot of new gal brands or gal collections have been coming out! And there's been quite a boom in the hime/agejo space these days. Something that folks have noticed though is that a lot of these releases are coming out in full sets, not just a setup with a matching top and skirt, but now matching accessories, socks, shoes, etc. This is exciting, but people have also brought up the point this can end up looking a bit costumey. For me, I can sort of agree and disagree. On one hand. I love setups, you all can tell from my coordinates I LOVE the MA*RS setups. I don't have to match a skirt and a top? Great, amazing. Then the fun part is figuring out how to accessorize. Do I wear prisilas?...

Ah chat.... something I don't talk a lot about is my hair. As someone who usually relies on wigs, I've been really wanting to do things with my actual hair. Recently I was talking to my friend's stepmom about getting my roots done and potentially going to a more caramel color, and she noted that with how I normally wore my hair, it might not look as good, as I typically wore my hair unstyled, and I was like damn... maybe I should try to style it more. Now, I have curled my hair, but I was wanting something similar to a dyson air wrap without paying the amount of a scalped secondhand ma*rs piece, so I went to find a dupe. What I like the most is the air wrapping technology, I wanted to see it in action. I had actually bought a "dupe" before from Boscovs but the airwrap was a flop, which was a shame.  After of about an hour of looking around, I ended up with this dupe from the brand MESCOMB. It was about 120 dollars in total, which is a lot, but the reviews were pro...

 I love to be nosy and I do love to throw my opinions on discourse bc why tf not. Great excuse to bring this blog back from the dead too! I think there’s been a lot of discussion in the gal community and I feel like I’ve already wrote about this before, but I feel like my opinions are getting more… precise? And I’ve had some life changes and reminded myself about the importance of just living for fun… being passionate… etc. So I want to talk about this “in and out of gal” as I saw a screenshot of a TikTok (and the went and found it myself) saying they didn’t like the phrase and I agree.  I think this “in and out of gal” is starting to cause people to think it’s more a costume when it is a lifestyle, and reddit user brilliant nothing drilling the “gal is a mindset” rhetoric makes sense. Don’t get me wrong though, there is a look to gal, but I’ve noticed in watching myself and other gals develop that the more a gal develops their mind, the look develops too. You will see a lot o...
