GETS!

A medly of Gets!
I've been hoarding pictures so it's about time I posted them

Polaroiddddd ♥
I wanted one for so long and I finally just manned up and bought one haha
I'm so glad it arrived in time for Preston City Wrestling
and I can't wait to take more memories with this thing!
Thankfully it's one that still has film easily accessable, which is usually a problem


Mini Sharpie's, who doesn't love a Sharpie?
I got them to doodle on polaroid snaps, but they don't work on the actual image well
So if anyone has some polaroid pen tips be sure to share them!


Disney x ArPakasso!
Oh man, I love these so much! I was so happy to find some
I don't know much about the collection or when/how it was released
But I know they havent been easy to find hehe


Nordic Alpaca haha, I love his scarf/bow
Totally can't think of a name for him though, needs to be foreign!

Oh man, I hope you don't mind this little rant here lol
But Alpacas cause me so much stress from all sides and angles
I'm so tired of telling people the same thing and being pestered about stuff I can't control
Not to mention the sheer amount of ripping off people are doing to me
Paypal is supposed to be safe and give you a peace of mind as a payment method
But its so easily manipulated, I won't name names or post links
But it's really REALLY stupid to open paypal claims with me and then publically show
off your alpacas that you bought from me. I mean, come on!

So yeah, I am pretty sure I wont be doing it anymore
I said it before but was guilt tripped back into it, this time I pure don't care haha


Tofu plush!
It's a phone holder too but my iPhone is too wide for him haha


The latest Sims 3 expansion pack
It adds a whole new level of fun hehe, totally re-addicted lately
Though I have tons of these creepy, haunted garden gnomes... so scary!

The following I got whilst in Preston
I used my gift card to pay and also used my old Preston Uni card for discount haha
Super win ♥

Spikey bracelet, om nom nom


My mum was going to get me this for my birthday but it was sold out on the site
I was so happy when my boyfriend spotted it randomly amongst the other jewelry!


I saw Bloomzy bought this lately and I needed it too! hehe
I am way too in to crosses at the moment, if I was skinnier I know I would be a total hipster


Thats all for now, some day I will learn to budget...

Wrassling

A post about wrestling, really? YES.
I notice a lot of people around the web calling me a Gal Blogger
to an extent, sure why not I love the fashion and I do blog about it
But I have liked wrestling a hell of a lot longer and this is my blog at the end of the day
So wether it gets read or commented on, who knows
I had an amazing time this weekend and I want to share it regardless ♥

Tuesday the 23rd was the 2 year anniversary for me and my boyfriend
Due to it being a week day we couldnt celebrate on the day
So we took our fun to the weekend and went to see the new Preston City Wrestling!

I won't lie or try to sugar coat the fact at all that we went there to see Colt Cabana
But we had zero expectations for the other wrestlers and were blown away
It was a fantastic show!

Our seats were ringside with no barricade
This is a pretty good idea of the space between us and the ring for sure
I was like "oh man, I hope no one is thrown on to us!" haha

Thankfully no one was, but a wrestler was thrown on to a fat troll on the other side!
He so deserved it, especially as he was racist to the wrestler that landed on him
and the chair broke into so many pieces, pure hilarious!

and whilst I may not have had a wrestler thrown on to me
I did have one come over and sit on my lap...
Greg Burridge (The Cockney Crusader) was Colt Cabanas tag partner for Team SHAG
They ended up having a dance off and needed somewhere to sit whilst watching the others
Yes, I did just say dance off. It happens more in wrestling than you may first imagine
I filmed all of Team SHAG's dance and you can (hopefully) watch that here
Which I suggest you do, its hilarious!

He sat on me the whole time so I couldn't see the other teams dance
But I was totally amused as you can tell by my face haha
The event photographer took my picture too but I can't see it on his Flickr
So I'm guessing my weird squishy face looked just a bit too weird and squishy haha


During the event we got to chat to Colt Cabana too which was great
He has one of the best accents ever and is just damn right cool haha
We brought him Mike & Ike sweets as he had been in the UK a while lol
He also tried his first Twirl and liked that, lol!

I had my W♥C vest on and he thought it was a WCW top haha
He's actually going to Japan to wrestle next month, but yeah... lol

We came out of the event with something no one else will have too
Signed Polaroids!

He seemed really shocked that I had this type of camera haha
So I do wonder if he's ever had a polaroid taken by a fan!
Its reasons like this though that I bought the camera, much more memorable

and whether you liked this entry or not, as I said before
It was a great weekend and I also have to say...
That I am very happy to have such an amazing man in my life to share these times with ♥
I couldn't think of better ways to spend anniversaries than watching live wrestling
and meeting an amazing superstar!

Oboro Charms ★

The products in this post were provided to me by Oboro Charms
Though required to review for their website all opinions stated are my own

PREPARE FOR SOME CUTE!!

If the preview picture doesn't have you twitching from a cute attack
Then you may need a doctors appointment! Haha, seriously
It's all just so sweet ♥

Thank you very much to Oboro Charms owner Kim, or Oborochan
For sending me these goodies to post about ♥ ♥ ♥

Thought I apologise in advance, it seems my camer isn't my friend these days
I wish I could have more control over the flash power!
For the stock images click the product page link for the item
(Then be sucked into the site and check out all the other awesome things!)



Octofruit Sticker Sheet - $3.45
These have to be one of my favourite unique characters of all time
I love how the Lemon fruit has a sour face too! True to his... juice?
Almost too cute to use!



Marshmallow Bunny Sticker Sheet - $3.65
Another collection of cutie characters!
It's so cute how they are all snacking
The bonus sweets/drinks stickers are great too ♥

Kawaii Yellow Cat Charm - $5.00
I was sent the charm on a phone strap

At first glance I think it can be too easy for people to over look just how great this is
All charms such as this are hand made, sculpted and painted by the shop owner
With such precision detail too, I don't know how you can pain a little cat face
on a charm like this and it come out so perfect, there are no flaws at all

I tried soooo hard to get a clear picture of the face
The cheeks are ever so slightly raised, I am in awe of the crafting put into this item
Her charms are a thing of beauty and something I think you all NEED to look at!
Oboro Charms
Custom charms are also available to don't hesitate to make contact!


Octofruit buttons - $0.85 per button
Placed out in a smiley face for you hehe


Marshmallow Bunny Buttons - $0.85 per button
I think a future endeavour needs to be actual marshmallows of these!


Kawaii Skull Phonestrap - $4.50
At first glance in the packaging I wasn't too sure what this was!
But from the mouth I quickly realised it was a cute skull
I love the clever placing of the crack on the head
As though attaching the strap is was caused it hah, he seems ok with it though


Kawaii Peach Earrings - $8.50
My camera really didn't want to take their picture, how rude!
These cuties need their publicity! lol
Though the acrylic used it thick enough to be durable, it doesn't affect
the weight of the earrings making them very wearable!

I am pretty in love with Oboro Charms
The quality of the makers goods is just so amazing
and if this post helps in anyway for people to see the products
Then thats really great, and it's very well deserved too for all her hard work ♥


Want some cuteness?

Oh so charming...

It seems a while since I had any new Vivienne Westwood
For me anyway... lol

I recently added to my charm bracelet ♥

Maneki neko charm
OH My GOD
Word can not describe the feeling I felt when I found this auction
This is the whole reason I wanted the charm bracelet to begin with
Having it felt like such an accomplishment haha ♥
The charms are discontinued very quickly, I am so happy hehe

Maneki have always held a special place in my heart
Along with Daruma's heh, I guess I can't explain it very well
But I find both to be very beautiful!


Oink oink!
The pig has such a derpy expression I love it hehe
This was bought from the same person who sold me the Maneki
Glad to have made sure they weren't split apart from each other lol


Poo photograph! It's a baby crow on a marble egg
The egg is really pretty!
Another auction find, no charm is left behind!


My bracelet as it stands right now, reaching a value of £200 already lol!
The knuckle duster was my first charm and is to light compared to the others
Looking forward to adding more and more as time goes on
I know for sure this is something I would pass down in my family ♥

I ♥ LUSH

Well, with my growing "addiction" to bath salts it's no surprise I would love Lush
The weekend before my birthday, my boyfriend let me loose on their bath bombs
and when we got home I realised we had accidentally been over charged
Since the store isn't local it was hard to simply go back about it
and I decided to drop them a quick e-mail about it

The customer service were wayyyy sweet, kind and helpful!
After sending them the receipt for proof etc
They were awesome enough to send me this apology...

Bath goodies! Total = £10.59 ♪
(Think Pink, Sex bomb, Amandopondo and Blackberry Bomb)

Oh my god, I was so shocked and excited to see these
Seriously, it was way too kind of them
I thought they would just send samples or something, not full products!
I emailed back to thank them, I also made sure to mention how fantastic
the employees at the Leeds branch truely are, they are nuts in the best possible way ♥

All my Lush bath goodies are wrapped up and in one of their shop bags
in my bedroom, so my room smells mildly like one of their stores now
If they ever made oil diffusers etc, I would love that for sure!

I hope you don't mind like little excitment post here haha
I never feel good being a complain-y customer but Lush were so fantastic about it all
I have used Think Pink so far, but I will do "reviews" some other time ♪

Circle Lense Tips ♪

I have been meaning to post this for some time and here it finally is!

A step by step guide of how I open my lenses
The best of all is it doesn't recquire you to touch them with your hands

I hope the pictures are all ok, I don't have the best camera in the world hah


To start with, you need to find the opening point
Ususally some kind of arrow shape as above, they differ between brands


Using your thumb push the plastic lid upwards on the opening point
It will begin to remove the metal casing from the top of the bottle


Continue this until you make a break in the side of the metal
You can remove the section with the lid attachment


Now you can begin to unwrap the metal until it is completely removed
Be carefuly here as the metal can be sharp
You may prefer to use some kind of tool, like pliers in this section


With the metal casing removed you can pop off the rubber lid!
Nice and simple hehe, you now has access to your lense


Now starts my personal tips on removing the lense from the bottle itself!

Pour out a majority of the solution into a container (or sink if you are able)
Allow some solution to remain so the lense is still covered


Using lense tweezers, often found in pretty lense cases and travel kits
Fish around for and pinch the lense gently


You can not easily remove the lense from its bottle


Place the lense into clean solution
It's recommended to leave it to soak and clean before using
I usually like to leave it 24hrs until I wear them!



Though, here is a problem you can encounter...
Your metal casing may not always open evenly and leave you stuck!


Using some scissors that have a thinner point at the tip
Take small snips at the base of where the casing has not broke
(In this case as the base of the tear, where it points)


Snipping will cause the metal to break open


and now you can access your lenses!
Hurray ♥ (^_-)☆wink


I'm not too sure if this could become a little series here on the blog
I do have other ideas lined up etc, for these types of Lense Tip posts!
I also have older lenses that I can experiment with to test out weird theories etc hehe
So, all circle lense related questions are welcome! ★
Whether you need help, reccomendations or want to know my personal preferences

Pin up strong ♥

Recently I ordered and received an awesome bow from Lucky Cupcake! ♥
She makes the best bows (and more!)
Who am I to be able to resist wrestling bows and even muppets... SO MUCH WANT
So don't discount her on account of this being about her wrestling merch
Seriously she offers so many style and even takes commissions!
Shipping is super fast and secure too, I couldn't say a bad word about her at all!


I was about to order a CM Punk bow when he was bumped down my list
by the beautiful Beth Pheonix bow!
(You will be mine some day soon Punk)

Link
Black PVC bow with Beth Phoenix!
She has a leopard background and the resin is also glittery ♥

I am trying so hard not to go off on a tangent about why I adore this woman
But her ideal of being "Pin up strong" is so fantastic
For a quick way of explaining, I suppose the "We can do it!" posters help

But the idea is being both beautiful and powerful!
She inspires me so much for this and I respect her like crazy

The beauty of Beth Phoenix
Wearing a bow herself of the legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper!


and me, not so pin up strong, with my Beth bow before heading out...
I've convinced myself wearing the bow gives me strength lol

Also, I need a quick shout to the always incredible Bake and Destroy!
As without her I wouldn't have discovered the store or been able to get 10% off my order ♥
You need to check her out because she is pretty much the coolest person in the world

Random Eyes ★

The products in this post were provided to me by Random Eyes Boutique
Though required to review for their website all opinions stated are my own



First of all a big congratulations to the store and a welcome back too!
As they have been redesigning their website recently
So I bring you this review just in time for their grand re-opening ♥

So, who are Random Eyes?
Randomeyes Boutique are the ORIGINAL creators of googly eyes
gumball jewellery and kitsch accessories.
Unique handmade gumball earrings, kawaii necklaces and kitsch bracelets
all feature mini food and drink charms (along with cute random everyday objects),
each with their own pair of wiggly, wobbly, googly eyes!

Random Eyes were kind enough to provide me with some products to showcase!

Each product came in it's own little gift bag, so sweet ♥
And it makes them easily given as a gift! Perfect for random surprises



Pink iced donut necklace - £5
Donut approximately 20x20x8mm. Necklace approximately 24"

Good enough to eat right?
But, its looking at me and making me feel guilty!

With the shape of this product I easily see a ":O" face hehe
and don't be put off by the chain length if short is more your thing
These types of ballchains can easily be cut shorter with a strong pair of scissors!
Though please take care if you are to do this



Chocolate Saauce covered ice cream cones - £4.50
Ice creams approximately 12x21x12mm

Perfect for the summer time, and tempting for those around you!
I'm not a huge wearer of earrings so I was worried how these may feel
But they are surprisingly not too heavy at all! I got used to them quickly
and it wasn't unless I moved my head a lot that I remembered I was wearing them

Oh my, doesn't my ear look big?
Maybe I need more piercings to disguise them in Random Eyes earrings?
