Tori of CherriStory also posted about lashes to day!
So be sure to check her out too ★
Today I was supposed to be meeting with Lucie
But due to hair dressers, train journeys and cursed dog's
Its unfortunatly being post-poned! But hopefully it will all go smoothly
Yesterday I received my Diamond Lash pack from D-Tan ♪
She was offering various lashes for you to be able to create your own packs
I chose Glamourous and Princess lashes
Though I am wishins I'd chose a different 3rd pair now not just 2 of the Glamourous lashes
I really liked the style though and thought I would need a back up pair
Unfortunatly, as things stand now, I dont think that will be the case at all
I can't way I'm a fan of Diamond lashes!
The band of the Glamourous lashes was really thick and stiff, it was hard to glue down
and when I did, the plastic lashes were so long and touching my eyebrows hah
I could really feel that I had the lashes on too, it didn't feel very natural
and then it came to try the lower Princess lashes
I may have just failed with the glue but I couldn't get them to stand properly
They just sort of plastered onto my face haha
and I did find them just a little too dramatic
Wearing Diamond Lashes
I will probably give them another go at some point but for now, I don't like them lol
I'm really grateful to D-tan though for selling them to me in this way
It was a really handy way to trial the lashes before getting a full pack of them
She has a few more for sale in her entry here, she will probably do more in the future too!
Doing my make up shot
Without Diamond with my MAC upper and Dolly Wink lower lashes though
Very pink with lenses, blush and my Gaga lipstick hehe
Though my fringe is in need of trimming so badly, and my roots need sorting out too!
Having your fringe be too long is such a pain, it makes your eye make up look poop
because it ends up covering what you've done and when your hair is long, red and to the side
You can't help but look and feel a little bit like Kevin the teenager (≧∪≦)
But anyway, here's some random shots of myself now
I really need to learn how to do a little more with my hair
This time last year I had a glue in weave and damn I miss it, but it's expensive
and having hair that long at work would be a pain
But you can't have extensions without your hair being layered, I can't stand layers lol
I love having a blunt bob, I just wish it loved extensions lol
or that I could curl my hair, one side does it fine the other just won't haha
So the leopard sneakers were FINALLY released
I had seen a few models wearing them months ago and soooo wanted them
They come on the webstore and whats this... they are ¥13,440?!
Being the sucker I am, I can't deny that I tried to buy a pair
Though they sold out 30secs after being released so I wasn't successful
But why, why why why why WHY are they ¥13,440
When the other sneakers in dot print are ¥9,345?
Thats a difference of ¥4,095 for a very similar pair of shoes!!
I understand there's a difference in materials but to me, it's the same shoe
Just in a different pattern
I really can't get my head around this
and even though I do love the leopard sneakers... they're over £100
Knowing they are priced so much higher than the other sneakers
For seemingly no good reason, it makes me realise I won't end up buying them
As much as I love the brand and am clearly loyal to it
I have noticed before this type of pricing, on items they know will be really popular etc
It's such a shame and is disheartening for me!
...sorry for the ramble lol
Working out with Wii Fit can be fun, I had a session today
and since I've got bloggers block, felt I may as well write about it hehe
My fatty Mii haha, this weight wasn't taken from today though
I've only lost 1llb since this time though, look at the BMI jump
I used Wii Fit to lose weight before, I was less than this weight then
and I got my BMI to Ideal, so I hope I can do it again
I'm pretty glad we have a new Wii now
If I had returned to my old Wii Fit account and seen my weight increase from Ideal
I think that would have hurt a lot more than it already does for sure lol
So today, I didn't really want to over do it, my tummy area is still sore
I had to have a procedure in hospital last week to determine if I had Bowel Cancer or not
So I am a bit tender, but the great news is that nothing was found ♥
I was in a lot of pain yesterday, so I tried to take it easy
Started with fun things, like rythm Kung fu and the boxing
Then I used the Wii Fit plan, where you choose areas you want to work on
Such as; Leaner mii, over indulged, hips and thighs etc...
I chose to do 2 of each kind I chose, so I did the following
Single leg twist, snowball fight, jogging, lunge, skate board arena, cycling,
chair (yoga pose), step aerobics, standing knee (yoga pose), single leg
extension, balance bridge, tricep extension
It really makes me laugh when it says stuff like this
Be god at a certain exercise and you are a Muscle Legend... instant results! Rofl
Then I had to stop, I was aching from my recent prodecure and it wanted me to do
Super Hula Hoop
There was no way I could do it and risk being in pain
Shame though because I frigging LOVE to Hula on the game hehe
All together it was 43mins
For 161 kcals
That means I burt the equivelant of some ice cream in a cone
Having Wii Fit count calories is good in thise way
You can also set a calorie goal for sweets etc and burn off enough to eat some
Though the down side is, you die jogging and burn only 12kcal!
It really does go to show that it's so much more difficult to lose these things
and way too easy to gain them!!
Also trying harder to diet now, I went on the Jenny Craig website
To have a look at their diet plans
I had already eaten one of their breakfast's and lunch items without realising lol
I made a Japanese curry for my evening meal packed with veggies ♥
I always make sooo much though, best portion it for freezing!
Do any of you use Japanese, beauty, bed sock, things lol (these)
I was catching up with Ameblo blogs and they were mentioned a few times
I can't help but be skepitcal, look at this before and after picture here... shopped?
On the note of weight, thank you to whoever posted the lovely secret of me this week
It's always super scary to casually scroll down and see yourself on there
Thanks again, it was lovely :D
Since Easter 2010 I've been struggling with my weight
Before that I'd lost 2stone and managed to maintain it
Then suddenly, it just began to rise again and even more recently
I seem to gaining weight by the stone instead of by the pound and I'm almost at my heaviest
I'm starting to recognise a few things where I'm going wrong for sure
Though I am also awaiting results from a thyroid test to see if this has been having an effect
Problem #1 - Chocolate is not my friend
Chocolate is no ones friend really, but even more so for me being lactose intolerant
I really do need to stop eating it all together, it was easier to do living alone as I made sure not to buy any
and whenever I got a craving I couldnt be bothered to walk across campus to go and get some
But returning home, especially with Xmas just passing, there is chocolate in the house
So when I get my cravings, it's just there for me to munch
and I wont bother replacing it with anything else
Solution - Plead with parents to never ever buy chocolate, or at least keep it to biscuits, I hate biscuits!
Problem #2 - Lactofree =/= fat free
Now this isn't a bitch at the company Lactofree itself, I love them and what they make is amazing
Their milk tastes like regular milk too which is great for those who want to have it and can't
But... Just because something isn't made with milk doesn't mean it skips out on the fat
Lactose producst don't get their fat JUST from milk, for example
100g of Lactofree semi hard cheese has 27g of fat (17.2g saturates)
and on average, regular cheese at 100g contains 33g of fat (21g saturates)
The calorie difference at this weight is 344kcal for Lactofree and 403kcal for normal cheese
So as you can see, the difference isn't that staggeringly different!
At the end of the day these products are here to replace lactose and NOT fat!
Solution - Cut down on the cheese!! I am such a cheese lover, but I need to cut down a lot
Problem #3 - Bread
Is it a British thing to want to shovel half your meal into bread?
It's like everything I eat has to be eaten in the form of a sandwhich lol
Soup too hot? Blowing each spoon ful sucks, so eat it with bread until it's cooled down
Solution - No more bread with ANY meal!!
Not at all, bread is now only for sandwhiches or occasional toast
Try substitute with rye bread where possible,
it's better for your and can be bought flavoured to eat alone as a snack
Problem #4 - Fruit
How is fruit a problem? I get cravings for fruits and I don't always have those ones in
Or my work rota will be all over the place so the fruit doesn't last long enough for me to have time to eat it
(LAME excuse I know, but it's stupid how much fruit I dont eat because it ends up being too late!)
Solution - Get a darn lunch box and take fruit to work
Problem #5 - Take away weekend laziness
On Friday and Saturday I just persume the food I will get is a take away and so this is what I do
When I lived alone I was in flats and hardly bothered to order food for the sake of complications
and by the time I get down from my floor, and take the food back up it would have been cold haha
So I literally only ate takeaway when I came home for the weekend or over holidays
Now Im home all the time, its just takeaway galore
Solution - Super cut down, and change what I usually order to a 'healthier' option where I can
I refuse to stay this weight, I can feel it effecting my asthma and thats not good
Simple tasks and walking distances are 'harder' especially on my breathing and it's just not right
I have done my best to make my room dust free as possible lately and now the real battle begins!
(ノ*>△<)ノ☆F i g h t☆ヽ(>△<*ヽ) I CAN DO THIS

Hello, hello... remember I bought these Dolly wink lower lashes?
Well Amelie made me feel guilty about not using them hehe
Not intentionally I'm sure, but I felt bad owning lashes someone wants and not use them!
So I felt it was time to take on the next "gal fear" and try them out!
So with some inspiration from an old entry on the Doll, I put them to use!
and here is my, attempt...
Close up of the lashes, there are 6 individual lash parts
I think usually they are more spread apart
But having them that way looked odd to me
My natural lower lashes are so dark, I mean you can see them here rather clear?
and this is without mascara on them!
Which also means placing them lower than my water line is also odd
Because I have too much clearly defined nartural line... blahblah lol!
With one side done, so you can see the difference compared to my natrual lashes!
Oh... and on top are Mac #7's
Though I am still SUPER new to lashes, I don't think it came out too bad over all
I'm sure I just need more practise... and a less derp face hah
So here I am with both done
and a shot to show how my new W♥C glasses
I do like them, and I guess they don't look too bad
But I can't help but feel like this guy when I have them on rofl
They really are so big, and I so know if I wear them out all my friend will steal them to try on!
Attempt at an outfit shot
Damn desk stealing the flash!
Outfit inspired by Bloomzy and ermm everything is W♥C! Haha
Any con-crit on the lashes is more than welcome
With so much hate in the Gal community to pretty much... anyone
It was a bit nerving for me to post this, I hope people can help instead of hate ♥
and even if its "not gal" then meh, I'm only trying to improve my look over all
and especially don't mention my weight, I'm aware of this and trying to 'fix' it lol
Confusing title?
Well since PopSister didn't impress you with their creepers
Now is their chance to redeem themselves with a guide on how to lose weight
Simply by wearing the right things the right way!
I thought that even if it can't help with items you already have
It can help persuade you into items you have though of buying
But perhaps didn't in the ultimate fear of it making you look bigger
First up, the Poncho!
They've been very popular this season
But wear them as a statement! Replace pants with shorts to remove 5kg of weight
Heels and a Hat can also add 15cm to your height
Knit gown, long cardigan
Personally I know I'd wear such an item, and have done, like the first outfit
I guess you don't even need to change the colours much to help
The belt certainly makes all the difference and shows your body shape
As comfy as things like this can be, people can't jst tell your weight from your limbs
So make sure they see your curves girls!!
Pankinsu, Jeggings, Leggings, Treggings... whatever you call them!
Wear with heels, a simple trick to tense your legs and slim your legs
and as tempting as it could be, don't wear leg warmers!
They take centimeters off your height, if you're petite, watch out for this
Low gauge knit
Personally... I can't see how adding a shawl helps remove weight from this outfit
But wearing a large necklace can 'damage' your height
Leg warmers
This is another where I can't see the help
I think the outfit is visually hindered with the coloured tights
Booties
Wearing booties, or shoe-boots with shorts can cause a look of "cut off"
on your legs, another thing for petite girls to watch for as it makes your legs look shorter
and can also add weight as longer is leaner!
Fur Coat
Nevermind the weight issue with this
Wear your glamour coat with style! Certainly not for the ultra casual
Oji Pants
A personal dislike for these looks but I can see how the differences lose weight!
Turtle Neck
Wearing a patterened jumper like the first can be very unflattering
Having the turtle neck plain underneath the patterened cardigan can break up the lines
Horizntal lines are not the best of friends for a lady's figure!
I hope you may have found this helpful or interesting
I didn't translate anything directly from the articles, I just wrote the best I could
If there's anything important missing or you'd like to add just comment away!
I download my scans from; Tokyo Jam ★
Scans are from Feb 2011 PopSister
I don't like to post more than once in a day usually
But when new W♥C items are involved I can't help it hehe
This was supposed to be the second of 2 packages sent yet it's arrived first
The other still being stuck in the depot by Heathrow since Dec 23rd
I hope it can get sorted soon, I thought maybe they'd arrive together
I under stand the Holidays bring delays, but this was posted Jan 2nd!!
When the post woman handed me the box I was tempted to ask where the other was lol
But it was 8am, I just wanted to go back to bed rofl
But ok... shut up now Sami... onto the contents of said package!
The "ugg" boots!
Sizing for shoes is so weird in Japan and for Uggs too lol
I know you should get these boots smaller than you usually do
As a way to stop that thing were your feet slide into the middle of them and mishape the boot
So I settled on a Small size, and thankfully it's fine so long as I wear thin/normal socks
as usually I alwasy wear really thick and fluffy socks haha
They seemed higher than I expected them to be and they're a bit stiff in the fur area
But I guess I am just used to my Uggs which are mini and low!
They also have a nifty little feature! A hidden wedge in-sole!
If I remember this was in the Engingeer boots W♥C made, but I didn't expect them here
I think it can be removed but I haven't tried to, I don't want to lol
I'm really comfortable when it comes to walking in wedges
So casual shoes that can help make my legs appear thinner? WIN.
The other things in this package were rather minor and mostly stickers!
I like to keep the backing on stickers and just blu-tac them to my wall lol
Though I've almost taken the back off the little Kumako by accident it seems ok
The regular stickers are already placed on my wall in my room of fandom hah
I really am a bit addicted aren't I?
As for the deco sticker, I have no plans for it at the moment but I wanted it lol
I was sure it would sell out since the orignal designs always did, but it never did!
Oh well, I have it when ever I need it now ♪
and finally...
The Kumatan ring!
So cute, I love it loads hehe it's adjustable too so it can fit even my chubby fingers lol
I've still my Fukubukuro to pay for, the contents have been so hit and miss
I'm excited and oh so worried at the same time!
I keep being tempted to ask my shipping service to open it and send me a picture
But it will ruin the surprise won't it, I'm so impatient
It may be some time before I can get it here, so I really want to know haha
What would you do? Keep waiting for the surprise?
