Pumpkin Picker!

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 | 46 Comments


I can barely hold it up!

Sunday we went out to the orchard and picked up our pumpkin to carve for Halloween! The weather was cold and really windy. It was great actually! It felt how October is suppose to feel I’m weak~ this 40lbs pumpkin is too much for me to hold *is hunched over* :!: I look goofy but whatever :driftingoff:

I’ve been wanting to post the following photos for a while Mostly bath salt related!

BATH TIME


Our main hotel had L’Occitane products!! lovely.

Another hotel we stayed at had all BVLGARI bath products. Pure heaven! My hair was SO amazing after using the BVLGARI stuff!



My lot after only being in Japan for 4 hours!!!!!!! seriously…


ハッピーフレ-バーズ


beauty conbini snaps!


I visited so many.. I don’t know where this was to be honest



so many of my stupid photos came out this blurry or way worse. FAIL


hair products :hai:



At home~~ closer look


most of these [美力UP革命] I remember getting at my hotel’s lovely conbini. Though the wine one is from Kawaguchiko and a few are from Donki :<3:

SWEAT BATH & DIET SALTS!

Got at Cando, a 100 Yen shop! You know why! Blotting papers

omg - I think I could spend hours in that beauty convenience store. maybe days.

i had a roommate from Japan in college and she loved bvulgari - I guess it’s really popular in Japan? hers smelled like old lady perfume, though.

can’t believe it’s almost Halloween!

wow, those stores look so interesting! i’m not much of a bath kind of gal but it looks like they have some really cool things (love the blotting paper). gosh, i’m trying to save up and plan a trip there, but i feel as if i’d almost run myself into debt buying stuff, or run out of money for my student loans •n• yikes, but it looks so irresistible!

love the pumpkin btw, i’ve got to pick up some of the tiny ones for my bf and myself, i suck at carving so i just paint on it •u•

and thank goodness for the cold, i was getting sick of the warm weather!

Haha, I agree with Gem here

I think the Buta is soo kawaii, how come pigs are cuter in Japan? haha.

I hope you post pics of your carved pumpkin, EEeee

I love how there’s a little surprise in everything Japanese people makes. Like when you buy candy, they have little items inside as a free gift. It’s awesome

UWAHHHH!!!! so many wonderful products. Masks are soo awesome. Especially the cooling ones. I love my baths as much as the next girl. I take one every night. I love going to Walgreens for all my bath stuff. I do wish I could get my hands on more bath powder though. You Lucky Chick!!
^-^
P.S. GIANT PUMPKIN PIE!!!!
(That’s all I could think of when I saw your pumpkin. Just a thought!)

*SCREAM* KAT-TUN’s… lip balm…endorsement! They look almost sold out LOL.

Just the fact that beauty convenience stores exist overwelms me. (as compared to a chemist of the same size but with different product, you know) I’d leave of everything or nothing.

It’s funny, I wanted to leave a comment about Tsubasa even if it was unrelated to your blog, but hey, there she is!
When Tsubasa’s on something it makes you want to buy it immediately, DOESN’T IT?!
(and I don’t even know why I adore her so much…

I love, love, love looking at your Japan pics! All I’m thinking whilst looking is, “I. HAVE. TO. GO.” Haha! I’m sure I said this last October but I wish Australia celebrated Halloween more! It seems like such a great holiday; growing up with costumes and trick-or-treat. *Sigh*

I miss going to the pumpkin patch to find pumpkins! The area I live in now down here doesn’t really have many farms and fields for pumpkin patch’s in the fall :(

You remind me of Becky in the pumpkin picture…

Also those donut things are amazing.

Pumpkin buying is different here. You have to get them from the supermarket or fruit and veg shop, so all the pumpkins tend to the same size and shape.
The packets on those products are all so cute. I can see why you bought so many things
