Sweet Etsy Items

Friday, July 3rd, 2009 | 33 Comments

I got some super cute items in from
Yurapockylover’s Sweet Treasure Box


Takoyaki cell charm! I love his facial expression~ it’s so sweet! :twinklewhtout:

Gorgeous earrings! Makes me think of sweet flamenco romance!

Personalize pouch!! Oh my gosh this is too cuuute!
There are so many adorable details! The letter font for the name is so fun! Then the deer~~!! There’s beads and so much contrast felt color that it really POPS! And the stars in the background :*:
Fits my blackberry perfectly too! I really needed something like this




I’ve had some people ask about the NIVEA My Silhouette! Gel-Cream I picked up in late May. I promised to give my thoughts after the recommended 4 weeks of use!

So first, here is their claim:

Proven results:
The regular use of NIVEA My Silhouette! leads to a reduction of up to 3 cm on targeted body parts such as thighs, hips, waist and belly.

  • * First slimming results are measurable after already 4 weeks
  • * The skin is noticeably better toned and more elastic.

Your silhouette is reshaped.

My opinion?
Well any daily moisturizing is good. And I’ve been dieting so I can’t say how much of my “toning” is the diet & how much is the lotion.

Within the first week this stuff makes your skin so soft. You use it on your “trouble spots” daily. I chose my thighs and also the upper part of my arms. It does tighten the skin and my thighs do look a bit smoother. The lumps have sort of leveled out to just 1 nice pudge/lump which is what I was hoping for at least! Haahaa! Oh and my butt is a tiny bit perkier too where it meets my thigh

My recommendation? It’s worth buying at least once and seeing if it gives you any results. The true review?

Would I buy this again?
YES

I plan on buying another tube when this one runs out. Plus I really like the scent. I just wouldn’t expect extreme results from this, but it does seem to smooth out skin which is better than pudgy lumps.




I’ve been feeling a bit up then down, up then down lately. So yesterday I lit some incense~~ These cones were a gift from Emm years ago. I’ve used the majority of the bottle up already. The scent is really nostalgic for me now, so I only light them when I’m feeling blue, to cheer myself up! I was SO happy when the scent filled the entire house!! It had never done than in my old apartments despite them being much smaller, haahaa.

AAAHHHHH That takoyaki charm is adorable!
Personalized pouch is pure win! Did they commission that for you?
…I love all the visible stitching.
This is my first comment in a while because I’m not 18th commenter or something, but unfortunately I don’t know what else to say…

, you know, I’ve been lurking around your blog for what’s had to have been at least 2 years now and I gotta say, you make it SO hard for me not to go out shopping every time I stop by, lol. I usually kind of resent the fact that my town isn’t big enough to have a legit asian market and any superb shopping within 100 miles but if there was one in town, between your blog and the easy access I’d have been broke ages ago. Anywho, thanks for letting my fashion live vicariously through you!

Haahaa, this makes me feel i buy too much stuff :X, lol. But I’m glad you enjoy it! I grew up in a small town that didn’t have anything international AT ALL too. So now that I’m here I’ve kinda been making up for the fact!

Seems like you’re feeling better, I’m really glad!! WOW, the stuff you got is SO adorable! I especially love the takoyaki too…I should watch my spending but maybe I’ll order some, too! ☆○☆ Oh, that cream sounds good! I think I’ll give it a try next time! I have a stubborn little fat area around my belly button and my thighs are a bit bigger than I’d like. Even though I’m dieting I wanna try this, too! =)
Sometimes certain scents can be so nostalgic and calming…
Hope your moods even out into a good one. Take care!

jenny said

I’d give it a try! It’s a little pricey, I think $13.00, but I do see a difference in my pudge. Enough that I’m not totally irked when I have to see my thighs, LOOOOOOL

Wowow those items are so adorable!! I think I like the cell phone pouch the best, love the deer =)

Yay Nivea review. I think I said it already but definitely gonna give it a shot!

Isn’t it weird how closely tied sense of smell is to memories?? Certain smells just make me feel great and take me right back to a happy time!

Nostalgia caused by scents is high on my list of favorite things!!! They can help me escape so easily

That personalized pouch is amazing! The craftsmanship is lovely You can tell a lot of work and thought was put into it. I say this because I’ve notice that the quality of many products has declined over the years. It’s really hard to get your moneys worth these days…

wow! what a cool pouch! haha its so cute ^__________^
i have recently gotten into using lotion…i would always use it randomly…never consistantly, but lately i’ve have been using it more, and it feels good~

jenny said
July 4, 2009 @ 10:27 am

Yea I have a hard time keeping up with lotion usually too. This I think was easier to remember b/c it has some sort of “results” tied to it! hahaahaa

Oh your new goodies are too cute!! I wanted to make a pouch for my iPod but never got to it but that has given me inspiration. :3 It’s amazing how the tiniest of things can instantly lift people’s moods. When I feel down I eat my sorrows away LOL

The pouch is inspiring me to do some crafting!!! \/
I’ll go look for the Nivea gel I got 3 bottles of similar products from diffrenet brands at home though… maybe can mix them together to make a super toning gel??

jenny said
July 4, 2009 @ 10:28 am

Or you could mix them & have a super fun allergic reaction! Haahaa just kidding, just kidding

I have 2 pouches of toning masks (for the thighs) that I haven’t used yet either. I should try them out as well.

Wow, cute doesn’t even begin to describe how adorable that cellphone pouch is. Envy those who’re so imaginative w/things like that. I hope when I go to Japan I don’t go overboard are stuffing my suitcases with cute objects. It would drive Chris bonkers, haha.
