Bath Salts, IKEA Things, Hair Ties
Monday January 23, 2012
A sort of hodgepodge of images. This weekend was pretty bleak with snow and ice since Friday night. :deco11: Even getting to work this morning was ice-crap-tastic. So I just want to post a few catch-up photos.
At New Year’s I ordered a restock of a ton of sweat baths plus some of the new Bison bath salts. Got them at imomoko.
Reordered a lot of my favorites plus a few new ones to try. :ok:
Also wanted to share what I did with that IKEA stuff I bought for my cubicle. Keep in mind I work in an older government building where the main colors include maroon, brown, and gray. The stuff I got helped spruce it up a bit I think. I’m really happy with it and if I ever get tired of it this stuff will fit into my home decor easily! :deco7:
I wish the photos had come out better but florescent lighting just sorta kills everything. :deco13: Mostly my work materials are on the top shelf and in the magazine files. I now have my tea in the rose containers. I cleared away a lot of old work documents and put them into proper drawers leaving room for photo frames and a bit more open space. Seeing a stack of papers all the time was really a downer. Clutter can feel like such bad energy sometimes. So putting them up, away in file cabinets, was long overdue. :angry:
Lastly, these Emi-Jay hair ties!
I bought these over a month ago… I LOVE THEM. I got them at South Moon Under. They’re perfect. They don’t pull my hair when removing but still stay in place for high ponytail looks. I usually get headaches quickly from having my hair pulled back, these don’t give me bad headaches at all. Not to mention they’re lovely aesthetics. They’re sweet to wear around the wrist as an emergency hair fix!
I picked up the “METALLIC COLLECTION” version. I would actually purchase another pack. So far they really last. The ends are fraying just a little on the silver one which I wear the most but they’re secure and wouldn’t need replacing very often. I felt sorta stupid at first spending $12 on hair ties :deco13: but looking back it was totally worth it and I’d do it again. Actually I’ll probably pick up more eventually! :deco2:

What’s that plant with the curly stuff? It’s so cute!

Hehe, I always love your bath posts! I haven’t been to the store lately to check out any bath salts, I’ve been going crazy on LUSH lately. Those new Bison salts look so pretty, the packaging is adorable!
And I love how organized your space is! I like the Starbucks cup ahha
-
I saw those bath salt in Cosmeland when visiting family. Did not buy though. I think I am picky about salt choices, but maybe will try sometime. I mainly worry about ingredient quality.
Good work in your cubicle! Little touches can really make even work more comfortable. :)
-
Oh wow, what you’ve done with your space is quiet inspiring! I have the same white lacy floral pot too, it’s so pretty. ^_^
-
I’d buy those hair ties too!! Recently I’ve been trying to find nice, but simple ones. It’s hard!
I love love love love love LOVE your work space. Doesn’t seem like one at all xD -
Hello! (first time commenting, but I’ve been a reader for a while)
I just want to say in general that your blog is amazing and that you’re an inspiring person in many ways.
On the other hand, your cubicle looks great!
I work as well at an old, gray government building and you’ve lightened up your space with nice and simple details.
I wish there was an Ikea over here!Greetings from Mexico!

Nice hair tie color! Good choice! I love playing with hair accessories and I really think being comfortable is priceless. Sometimes I have headaches because of hair tie too…
-
Haha same! I just restocked my Bison bath salts the intense sweat ones lol. I’ve been looking at those new ones lately, and haven’t really decided to get them. A quick question, what do they smell like? It’s just certain smells kinda put me off. (;´ρ`)
-
I agree about how organizing can give such a refreshing and energizing boost! I love the candy bowl, tiny treats in cute little bowls are so sweet :)
-
I really love how the design of the bath salt packages are so cute! :) And those hairties are totes adorbs, but $12?! That’s so expensive, but I guess sometimes, we really can’t help ourselves. ;__;
-
Wow you go through those bath salts like crazy! I wish I could do that too but I always get too lazy to bathe and just end up showering lol I love IKEA! Sometimes bf and I just like to go there and shop around and dream about our future home hahaha but I agree with you, I think clutter in general will give off bad vibes =)
Hahaha I think it’s going to take me some time to go through the stuff I bought too! But that’s the beauty of one part and the horrible thing is that even if we have something new and unopened we still buy more! LOL
-
Those hair ties are sooo lovely! I always think it’s better to spend more on something that’s pretty and functional rather than skimping and hating whatever it is that was more affordable and “practical” but not used as much.
And I love your work space. Government offices can be really sterile looking but I think you’ve managed to inject your aesthetic into your work environment!
-
aaw so cute! how cute!!
I’m collecting a large amount of money right now.
but you really made me wanna buy one!!
Arrr what to dooooooooo :p -
In Japan right now… tried the Bakkantou “creamy” foamy bath salt (in “Princess Fruity” lol) the other day! Definitely pink and girly– and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of bubble (foam, I guess) it produced.
Love the natural theme of your cubicle!
-
Oooh I love looking at your office decor. It’s so pretty and the workspace looks very cozy and inviting. It’s inspiring me to clean up my workspace this weekend.
-
Love your cubicle! Looks so nice and clean, my cubicle is an absolute mess. haha papers everywhere!
I might try to pretty mine up with some nice tea canisters though, that’s a great idea. -
Your cubicle is just too much ♥ Mine is so plain compared to yours, haha! You’ve given me so much inspo though~
Those hair ties are really pretty too & worth the $$ I’m sure, haha! -
Your cublicle is beautiful, very “zakka”. :)
-
Oh my goodness your work space is so cute!! So springy! You’ve inspired me to go decorate for Spring!!
-
Ahh so many bath salts! So jealous! Haha I usually only buy mine from P-Mall, three at most ^^; They don’t have a large selection but they have the new ones and the classic ones at least :3 I was just wondering, how much water do you usually use when using the Bison bath salts? Just because I am not fluent in Japanese so I can’t fully comprehend the package xP My mum has a huge soaker tub so it can get quite full. I just want to get the maximum thickening effect tbh :P Also do you put it in at the end, or while the tub is being full? Sorry for the random questions haha I am just only recently getting into this wonderful product and want to make sure I am getting the best from it :P But omg yes THANK YOU for introducing this to me! How did I ever live without it!? Haha :P

-
o0o look at all those bath salts!
I’m really impressed with how simple Ikea items can make a cube looks so homey.
-
I really need to pick me up some bath salts, but it’s probably not a good idea for me to do that when I share my bath tub with my younger brother. Who knows what he does in the shower ~_~ I love love love your cubicle!! It makes it feel super homey! ^_^
-
Ah! The hairties are really cute :D Ahhh!! I love all the colors and packaging of the bath powders! (wish I had a tub ;__; )
AHHHH!! I was totally eyeing those lace-trimmed planters when I was IKEA! Super cute and with all the “life” and romantic motifs, it really brings warm to an otherwise, cold interior :D Love it!
-

I love your office space. Its bigger than i imagined. :)
