keds vs. vans

Have you been wondering which to get? Either vans or keds? Well, I will be explaining each of the shoes, and some of my opinion. I made it into a bullet point post so it is easier to read. But lets start comparing the two brands/shoes with facts.

Which is an older company?
v: established in 1966
k: established in 1916 older
So I guess Keds is the original? But not sure about when the two companies actually started producing the shoes that we are talking about...

More popular?
For this, I did a little more research and went on yahoo answers to get people's opinions. I searched up Which shoe brand is better? Vans or Keds?  and went into the 3 Q&A with most answers:
v: 11 votes more popular
k: 4 votes
So my data shows that vans seem to be more popular. Intact, vans have more than half the vote that keds have! But some people stated that they both look the same and that they should get either toms or converses. 

Long lasting?
From my experience, vans last way longer than keds do. kids start to wear out and the soles sort of starts to peel off. But vans, I guess it just gets a little dirty; for example, the laces since it's white.
Additionally, I went to yahoo answers and people were saying the same thing as me.
It seems like vans are more sturdy! It is even sturdy with the thin soles.

=================================

Which parts are the same?

  • they are both shoes and it is made/designed almost the same
  • yah that's basically it...
Differences?
  • where the logo/tag is
  • price (these are the prices for the authentic ones-vans: $45.99 keds: $45)
  • and keds are slimmer (vans also have the thin types as well)

Well, I like Vans better so if you are considering getting a pair, get Vans!

squishy スクイーズ



Hi guys!! Today I will be talking about squishes!!

What are they? Squishies are little collectable key chain/ mascot that is squishy and it is mostly (more like 100%) made out of foam. This "toy" originated from Japan. I did say that these can be a collectors' item but it can just be like a key chain hung from your backpack. For example, you might be hanging a lego keychain. Squishes can be used just like that; just hung from your backpack. It's really cute, addicting, and soothing so people all around the world like it. In the U.S. you can purchase it online. But in Japan, it is sold in Kawaii shops, stationary shops, gift shops, online,  character stores, department stores, places like Target, and many more.

My connection with squishies I am a squishy collector. This just basically means that I collect squishy keychains. I would consider myself a serious squishy lover/ collector, although they can be expensive so I always try to buy them in the cheapest way. I have lots of rare squishes in my collection because I think that collecting the common squishies, usually made with a low quality, is not worth my money. But the ones made for a Japanese company like Sanrio is 100% cute and good quality. Besides being a squishy collector, I own a squishy instagram account just for squishies. There is even a squishy community on ig and YT. It's @squisharoon so go check it out! I don't make squishy YT videos but I do watch a lot of it. I think I waste so much time doing it ^ U ^. Whatever...

If you want to be a squishy collector, read this: So, there are squishies right?? But there is more to that. There are common and rare squishies. As you can tell from the word, common is common, rare is rare. And the rarer squishies are usually...

  • more expensive than common squishes
  • licensed ex: Sanrio, Nic, ect.
  • better quality
  • cute (character squishy)
Also, if you are a serious collector, you will...

  • keep the tag on the squishy
  • keep it in the ORIGINAL packaging
  • won't squishy it like crazy 
Defects are your enemy. Defects are cracks, discoloration. rips, and other imperfect things on your squishy. When you sell it, it will lower the price and make it bad.

At last, the best ways to get an idea of what kind of squishies there are, are is rare and what is common, and other important things to know, it is the best to go to a squishy shop (online). Another way is to take a look at the squishy community.


good squishy websites/ shop: these two are the "basic" ones.

Pretty Little Liars: Season 5 Finale Recap and thoughts



BIG things that happened:


  • A is revealed as Charles (who is he?)
  • Mona is still alive
  • Mona is acting/ pretending to be Alison
  • While on the way to jail, the liars get captured by A and is send to a "Dollhouse" Where They meet Alison (Mona)
  • Spencer's parents now know that there is someone named A threatening people. 
  • Has a "prom party"
My thoughts and theory:

First of all, I need to say that this was one of the worst yet best episodes. I thought that it was going to be the big reveal. They MK should of made it so it's like- 

A-BABAAAM "takes the mask off"  
Liars- "Surprised face" gasps!!

Smoke coming out in the background....

That kind of thing...

But that wasn't what happened. They slowly/ annoyingly revealed A. By the way, A= Charles. But we don't even now who he is! I, and other fans believe that he is a twin brother of Jason Dilaurentis. If you watched the episode, you would know but when Spencer went into her playroom, and saw that "video" where Jessica Dilaurentis (mom) is holding Alison Dilaurentis and playing with two little boys that look like they're twins. I think one is Jason and the other boy is the Charles dude. So, Charles is a twin brother to Jason which means that he is also Alison's brother!

Theory #1 I think Charles has some mental issue so Jessica hid Charles and know he is revenging on Alison. Since the A wants to ruin everybody that is connected to Alison, everybody involved with her  gets in trouble

Theory #2 Maybe Jason is A. What I'm trying to say here is that Charles took over Jason. Maybe by killing him or something. Since MK declared in one of the interviews so I think this is where the twin thing comes in play. In the book, it was Alison and Courtney as twins but in the show, I am 99% sure that it is Jason and Charles. Anyways, back to the story. I believe that Charles is mental and no one liked him so he killed Jason and took over him. You might be wondering, why didn't anybody care that Charles is dead? Well Jessica never told anyone that she had a twin. Also, she knows that Charles is dead but she doesn't know that Charles is pretending to be Jason. This theory explains what all the fans had in the back of our minds: why did Jason disappear all the time? 

Hope you enjoyed! I CAN NOT wait for the next season to come out! -Thanks to interweber for giving me the idea to write about this-

Ballet



Hi everyone~
So today is about funny ballet. This is really really funny. You should go watch it! Even if you are not a dancer, you will think it's funny. This is not criticizing ballet because they actually know how to dance. As I have said in the description I love ballet so it is even funnier for me. 

Here is the link to the video:

Taylor Swift's Cat


So, today I will be talking about Taylor Swift's cat, Olivia. She is so cute. By the way, she was in the Blank Space Music video too. Anyways, what attracts me are her cute ears that are folded over~ is it so innocent looking. Also, her huge eyes just melts my heart. I like her other cat Meredith too but I still can't get over Olivia. I think that it's Meredith that scratched TS' leg (it's worth $40 million).
Here are pictures :
