Past Weekends


Saturday August 21, 2010   

I picked up a few travel items yesterday. :updiamond: Anti-nausea gum, LOL. I’ve used “Sea-Band” patches in the past so when I saw there was this ginger gum I figured “why not!” I usually take Dramamine :F but I hate taking it for short trips (45 minute metro rides and such.) :;_;: So I’ll give this a try! hehe I also decided to take a gamble on a new product for thin, flat hair! I say gamble because these often don’t work. But, but! :laughingheart: At first I thought these were the same because they were packaged together :;_;: and I thought the “travel size” was the same product. :facepalmcry: But actually it’s got2B’s Fat-tastic instant collagen “mega-lift root-boosting spray” and “thickening non-aerosol hairspray.” :star:

I used the root boost spray on my bed head this morning. :blushingcute: I took a bath yesterday so my hair was already, well, kinda weighed down with oil. :facepalmcry: :smallcry: BUT, I was pretty pleased with the results! :kissyfaceheart: It wasn’t 0 – 100x’s better :;_;: but it did add volume and body that it actually looked like I had blow dried a freshly washed head of hair! :good: Haahaa, my bed head is REALLY thin and straight & flat. :kanjicry:

So I’ll try the hairspray tomorrow. :heartex: I wonder if they work well together or if that’ll be too much product & it’ll just weigh my hair back down? :crap: We’ll see. :twinklepink: I really like the root lift spray bottle. It has a really sensitive trigger but goes on easily and is like a finer mist than some products. :okicon: Also my hair still had some body after napping a few hours on it. :smallcry:

Yeah, I didn’t do much today. Went and had a nice breakfast then walked around a bit. Watched “The Men Who Stare at Goats” and fell asleep.

I haven’t posted weekend outfits lately so here’s this Saturday’s and last Saturday’s :D

ON THE RIGHT:
:rose2: Tank: Alba Rosa
:rose2: Overalls: Yesstyle
:rose2: Sandals: Target
:rose2: Frames: UO

ON THE LEFT:
:rose2: Dress: Target
:rose2: Vest: Yesstyle
:rose2: Boots: JCP

My nails this past week. Simple cream pink with gold tips. I bought the yellow color of the Insta-Dri yesterday! My nails are now yellow with some black splatters on a few of them. :star2:

I also got these Dr. Scoll’s FAST FLATS. You can see the commercial for them here.

I figured I’d get them for the trip since I walk miles upon miles there! :kyaaface: This way I can wear out any new shoes I buy but if they start tearing up my feet too much I can slip these on! :iiface:

They were about $9. I wish they came in half sizes. :F I’m a 6.5 but had to bump up to the 7-8 size. The 5-6 fit/looked better on but were a tiny bit too tight. The 7-8’s fit OK, not too tight, but don’t look quite as sleek on because the fit is looser. :down: But it’s fine. :kissyheart: There’s been SO MANY SITUATIONS where I could have seriously used a tiny folded up pair of quick flats!

They come in a little pouch that they fold up into for easy carriage. We’ll see how well these work! :cutesy:


Last weekend was better for getting out! We went and finally saw Hubble 3D! :mooon: It was playing at the IMAX theater inside the National Air & Space Museum. So afterward you could roam around the museum and see the Hubble m,model too! It’s really good, I recommend seeing it if you’re a big space nut like myself. There are moments when you get really lost in it as you’re traveling through the stars in 3D~~ It was well worth racing to! The metro had delays so we nearly missed the beginning :orooro:

    O: Hubble 3-D was really fun to watch! Especially at the end where all the galaxies and stars are flying towards you ^^

  3. omg those fast flats are an amazing idea~~where did you find them?? do they sell them online??
    adorable~~the overalls go with everything u’ve~~!!

  4. Veronica says:

    Haha oh there you are down there! loL

    Have fun packing – do you find it as fun as I do?? Haaaa
    Hope you are well :)

    • jenny says:

      I can’t believe you spotted me! Mike was like “yea, I can’t get you both fully in the picture…”
      I’m packing todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s exciting :)

      Hope you had a good time at the wedding!

  5. Jeannine says:

    I have the same yellow nail polish! 8D except mine is running low since I’ve been abusing that colour for the past few months….yellow nails is just too pretty *o*

    • jenny says:

      They really are! I’m happy FUN COLORS are now available in a quick dry. I used to only have red or brown in quick dry which was boring.

  6. Zoraida says:

    Hahahah I didn’t even notice you down there!

    Those insta-flats look like a life-saver :O

    • jenny says:

      *is hiding in the corner!!* I was trying to wait for those people to move but NO SUCH LUCK they were in total AWE of the damn Hubble! LOL

  7. priincess says:

    OMG! those Dr. Scoll’s FAST FLATS are AMAZING! they are so SMART! i have to get my hands on one of those! I seriously need to put one in my car! i always wear heels and then my feet start to hurt SO much! T_T these would be perfect!

    • jenny says:

      I know! Even if just for the walk leaving a party or something you know? Like leaving a club/bar you could switch them out with your heels because who cares about looking sexy on the walk home? Ha! And the fact they really are super tiny folded I could fit these into any bag, even a larger clutch bag would fit these!

  8. Darlene says:

    This is my first time posting here but I have been following your blog for a while ★☆ (I was just too shy to post lol)

    This blog inspired me to start my own blog as well  ♪♪

    Also I think I have the same hair type (thin and fine) so I find it so helpful when I see what type of hair products you try out!!

    Cute outfits too by the way :)

    • jenny says:

      Oh wow, I’m happy my little blog could inspire you! And I’m glad you’ve taken the time to say hello! Nice to meet you!~ I’ll try to be better at posting before & after pics when discussing hair stuff. I know what you mean, sometimes I feel so alone in my crappy hair type! *clings*

      BTW your blog is INCREDIBLY cute and you are so adorable!! :O :D

  9. Miamy says:

    wow, I saw the commercial and thought the fast flats were really cool! :O
    i wonder if I can find it in my place… but I think it’s quite worth it since there are always times where I WISHED i had a pair of flats with me! :(

    • jenny says:

      I think they’re JUST hitting the stores now because only 1 of the 3 Targets in my area have them. Or they’re selling out…. I’m not sure :D

  10. Thao says:

    Oh hey! I went to the National Air & Space Museum this summer, during my quick brief tour of DC. I completely love it there. Wish I had more time in the gift shop though…

    • jenny says:

      I feel I’ve still only barely seen it too! I’m going back in winter when it’s less crowded, it’s a gorgeous museum isn’t it!?

  11. Shirley says:

    I want to get yellow nail polish!
    I think those flats would come in real handy for me toooo

    • jenny says:

      I wasn’t sure about yellow at first but then I just really, really felt I needed it! It’s a fun color I must admit! This polish is really vibrant so it’s not like a gross washed out pee-yellow color when you put it on in 1 coat XD

  12. Genevieve says:

    I have that nail polish! I really love it ^_^

    Those flats are so cool! I seriously could’ve used a pair of those on my nights out in DC :D

    I wanna see the Hubble thingy! That looks so awesome! I use to want to be an astronaut & astronomer but then I realised you need lots of science that I couldn’t even begin to understand so I settle with PBS- type shows :D

    • jenny says:

      Ditto, I wanted to be an astronomer but I just haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate doing math. HATE! lol

      I’ve stopped wearing heels so much because of just too much blister heart break but these might actually get me back into wearing them more!

  13. Alyse says:

    those fold-able flats sounds like a godsend!! i need me some ;__;)
    ah, the air and space museum! one of my favorites, though i’ve never been to the IMAX theatre… I think I’ll make a point to when when I visit this year ^o^

    Looks like you’re read for your trip! Excited?? o^___^o)

    • jenny says:

      Quite excited!!

      Ah yea, their IMAX is one of the smaller ones but Hubble 3D was showing just there for obvious reasons :P

  14. Tori says:

    Ohh, I’ll have to try out that root lift! D: I have the same problem with my hair~ it’s really fine & doesn’t hold volume for longer than 2 hrs maybe? Haha XD I’d love to see pics of you using it in action! ;D
    You look so super-cute in the Tsubasa-style frames, haha ♥ Both codes are sweet summer-casual too, so much love~!
    I have the InstaDri polishes in purple & blue, & I must say they do work pretty well~ I’m sure the yellow looks great on you ♥
    Hope you enjoy the rest of your last weekend in the USA, haha~! ;D

    • jenny says:

      I’ll try to remember to do before & afters for this stuff! I love it, I think I’m bringing BOTH new products with me. The hairspray I’m using today and liking a lot for up-do keeping!

      I saw that the insta-dris are being sold bundled with the insta-dri topcoat at CVS!!! Grrrr WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THAT! Cheaper price XD. I wonder if the top coat is good or chips easily, sorta like the colors do. Hmmm~~

  15. Honeydew says:

    You always have the cutest coordinates! ♥

    Those space ships look pretty amazing! At first I didn’t even realize you were in the last pic until I looked closely and noticed you in the right corner. lol. And I’ve been wanting to say this for a long time, but you have pretty long arms for a short girl! :P

    • jenny says:

      Thanks sweetey!! *hugs*
      Haaaaaaaaaahahahaha, my Dad has long arms actually, finding him button down shirts isn’t easy, I never thought about it though XD

  16. Lily says:

    i wish china had the got2be fat-tastic stuff. i have really thin hair that needs it!
    your nails are so cute (: how did you manage those neat (as in not messy) tips?

  17. Ys says:

    I love “The Men Who Stare At Goats”. It’s hilarious :) We bought it a few months back – so so funny :)

    As always, your outfits are so cute :) You’re so good at co-ordinating items :)

  18. Fatiha says:

    wah~ i love both outfits~ ^_^ i like your nail polish too~! “Fast Flats” sound really useful-i might just have to try them! ^^ it sounds like you had a lot of fun at the National Air & Space Museum. i can’t wait to hear about your next adventure~

  19. reeri says:

    You mentioned having thin and flat hair- I have the exact same hair-type! I’m looking to get a half-way decent haircut, and I was wondering if you knew anything that words well for thin hair? My hair is longish, maybe a couple inches shorter than yours seems to be? I’m totally horrible with hair and it’d be helpful if you had any suggestions! xD

    • jenny says:

      I definitely have to say, shorter top layers are a must for anything past shoulder level. I even had a long top layer that was nice until it grew past my shoulders. Then it just weighs everything down and looks flat no matter what. =Y

  20. cin says:

    uu i should get those flats! :D
    love the overalls outfit! and spacey stuff *_*

    • jenny says:

      Hopefully they work well & don’t look too atrocious XD I worry about them slipping off but I’ve test walked many times!

  21. Miya says:

    THANK YOU for posting about the flats! I will have to try those out too! I’m going to a concert soon and they will be good to use after when my feet are tired from jumping XD

    Let us know they hold up for your trip! It’ll be good to know how long they actually last, long term! If they are worth the $9, or if I should just buy some cheap flats at target or something…

    As for the HAIRSPRAY …I have tried it..it works but WARNING..it is a bit sticky!!! I would not try to use it together..may be too many products. I have not tried the root-booster though…now I want to!

    • jenny says:

      I’ll definitely say whether or not these worked out! I decided I’ gonna wear out new shoes I buy so I’ll probably needs this on a few trips back to the hotel!

      You’re prob. right about combining the 2. I’ve used the hairspray now and it definitely reminds me of a liquid form of their paste/spike glue stuff! I think it WOULD weigh my hair down too much if used together all over. I did use the root boost today and a tiny bit of the hairspray but just on my part (zig-zag part!) and so far so good!

  22. Aigerim says:

    Hi! I like your boots very muсh! I will add them to my wishlist ^_^

  23. Sumi says:

    Hi! I love your blog and your outfits are very adorable! :3
    But that particular hairstyle on the left.. no offense, but I don’t think the bang style suit you~
    It makes your forehead look broader and wider..
    I’m just saying what I feel so please don’t take offense TAT

  24. Bianca says:

    shut the front door, i was just looking at those fast flats at target and stared at them for a good minuet thinking “hmmmm”

    i might need to snag um…but i’ll see your reviews after your trip, I’m very curious about this hubble movie…i might need to go to the planetarium and check it out. especially since i havent been to the planetarium in like 20 yrs DX

  25. Jenny says:

    snatching your black dress photo to recreate it for my dolly :)
