Yesstyle has a bunch of Kose’s COSMAGIC products in stock! :twinklepink: I was soooo excited to see the “Sweet Deco Cheek” blush! :crownkisses: The blush ads that feature Kumicky in Popteen are too cute~! I didn’t realize the blush comes with a heart-shaped “template” though, haahaa! For extra “mote” looks~ :cutesy:

They come in Strawberry Pink and Peach Pink. The blush claims that layering the different colors and textures (it’s a palette of both cream blush & powder blush) keeps the color from fading throughout the day. :good:

The commercial (seen here) for it features Kumicky as well as some Rookies guy (Satoh Takeru) I don’t really know because I never watched Rookies but I know it was like a super popular #1 drama, haahaa~

These are the other products from the line currently on Yesstyle.com. :star2:

:rose2: Cosmagic Megaton Wing Mascara
:rose2: Cosmagic Exte Bomber Mascara
:rose2: Cosmagic Visual Up Brow
:rose2: Cosmagic Sweet Deco Cheek Strawberry Pink and
:rose2: Cosmagic Sweet Deco Cheek Peach Pink

I also saw these flip flops on Yesstyle too~
I had originally saw them on tumblr and thought they were crazy adorable! Apparently a group or TV show had girls wearing them? Haahaa I have no idea, :supercry::lol: just looks that way from some of the pictures! :;_;: Either way they’re ADORABLE!! They remind me of my childhood when foam would wash up on the beach shore :twinklepink: :kyaaface:

They’re for sale at on the Holly Shoes shop and Wifky shop~~ :kissyheart:

Sunday June 20, 2010   

I’ll skip the usual “god not Sunday :facecry: ” rant! :toto:
I was feeling crummy this morning but went out and walked 4.8 miles around downtown DC which turned that frown upside down :kyaaface::kissyheart:

So today I got my engagement & wedding rings back from being re-sized!! :celebrate: They were too big now~ :star: but I was scared of jumping the gun of getting them re-sized; in case I gained back any of the weight I had lost. So I waited~ and waited~ and now it’s been nearly a year!! :skull: But I didn’t gain any back :ureshii: So Mike and I both got ours re-sized (he’s lost nearly 40 lbs this year! :whoafreak:)

It feels so wonderful to wear my engagement ring again~~!! :fleetheart: I had stopped wearing it nearly 6 months ago because it started to fly off :F My wedding band I’ve been keeping on by wearing a smaller ring my grandmother gave me, blocking it from falling off. :;_;: :D

And I want to congratulate any of my friends who are still using livestrong.com too!! I still use it too, :twinklepink: out of habit :;_;: , and out of obsessive need to track things because OCD is fun hahhaaahhaaa! :girlrage: But it’s been 1 year since I found that website & it really did change my life. My ring size is a full size smaller now~ couldn’t have done it without livestrong :)

OK, so sometimes people ask how I can manage to take such long hot baths (the kind suggested in magazines, especially in diet pages,) and here’s an example how! I read magazines! :star2: I not only read them I mark outfits I want to scan in a whatnot too. :ruru: I bring a nice big cup of cold green tea or cold apple vinegar drink and I always use a bath salt or bubble bath~ :starburst: I just love baths! :starburst: I always have! It’s my #1 way of relieving stress too! :skipping: If I have a seriously crap day I’m gonna end it with a long hot bath. The other day I was in there for 80 minutes! :orooro:

Most of the diet bath topics suggest staying in a sweaty hot bath for at least 30minutes~ :starburst: Kumicky is seen here demonstrating reading Popteen in the tub! Haahaa~ :rose1:

30 minutes to 2 hours… I’ve NEVER made it 2 hours, I’d assume you’d have to add some hot water to the tub again! haahaa! :iiface: :supercry: :iiface: :supercry: I tend to shoot for an hour but on average I’m usually at 45 minutes :smallcry:

Also using an iPod to play music helps! I have one of those cheap $5 portable speakers in my bathroom for my old iPod nano. I put on relaxing music or even nature sounds. :doubleheartbeat: One in particular is just a 40 minute track of night sounds (crickets, frogs :sqdusk: ) haahaa and when it finishes I know I’ve been in the tub for 40 minutes! :starburst: And always bring in a cold water or other zero calorie drink with you~ please don’t pass out OK!!! :smallcry:

Wow, 38% make it an hour! Next is 27% at 30minutes. Who are these crazy 8% of people lasting for 3 hours though!? :blushingcute: LOOOOOL maybe my life’s too busy for such hopes! :?:

I have to admit I’ve used my cell phone a lot during the long baths, haahaa~ :smallcry: I know it’s foolish because my blackberry isn’t waterproof, LOL! Sorta pressing my luck sometimes~ But I tend to hang over the side of the tub and type away on emails and surf CROOZ blogs ‘n such! :skull:

I also do leg massage :star2: in a hot bath because I feel it’s the easiest time to help bring down the day’s swelling! :piggy: You don’t need any cellulite roller or anything either~ :;_;: just twist and massage~ I SWEAR this keeps my legs looking skinnier than when I DON’T do it! :girlrage: Plus it really relieves any stress and soreness in your legs. :good: 5 minutes of the massage should do the trick! It does take a few days of doing this before you’ll notice a difference though. ;)

You can also do a little light exercise to pass the time like Jun here! haahaa~~ :kissyfaceheart:

Haahaa and I ALWAYS take a long hot bath after a day of overeating~~ it really settles my stomach too. :piggy:

While on the subject of dieting (sorta) :crap: I thought I’d share these funny suggestions of using the color blue to control your appetite!! :faceaha: Blue is supposed to be a naturally unappetizing color because not many foods are blue in nature!! Well~ so they say :gigglewakuface: So here are some suggestions from Popteen! :kissyheart:

• Buy blue dinnerware for eating off of!
• Wear blue-shaded sunglasses while eating!!
• Add blue food coloring to your food such as rice!!!

I changed my computer’s wallpaper at work to a blue shaded wallpaper….. I can safely say this DID NOT curb my urge to snack at my desk in any way, shape, or form! :star: HAAHAA! That said, I never have found that blue cotton candy flavored ice cream very appetizing looking and I feel pukey when I see kids eating it! ha! :skipping:
