Black Shorts and Minnie Ears
Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2010 | 51 Comments
Thanks everyone for the circle lens shops! I actually ordered 2 more pairs from 2 different and new online shops! So let’s see which pair gets here first, hahahahaaa! I’ll of course recommend whichever one I find is best! 
One package that didn’t go missing was a recent order from Yesstyle! I was really excited about the distressed black shorts I ordered! It’s a bit cold for them at the moment, but come early spring they’ll be great layered with tights and my over the knee boots!
I like they’re a bit high waist style too and loose leg fit!
They actually reminded me a lot of this pair from Re Dark on the 109 Net Shop! Can’t wait until spring! I’m pretty much over the cold but the worst is still yet to come~~~ 
I really just don’t feel motivated to buy any winter clothes! I want to see & buy spring items already! So I’ll need to wait.
Since Christmas is gone I changed the layout. *sad face* I need to get some time to put together something more “winter” appropriate I think, hahahaa! I haven’t had much time since getting back from vacation sadly.
Oh, speaking of Christmas, Mike got me the Tsumori Chisato x Shu Uemura Planet Cat mirror! Isn’t it the cutest!!
A lot of people thought my Minnie Mouse ears wee lace, they were actually sequin! I think they were the higher end ears, hahahaaa. I bought them at the park entrance. Only inside the park did they have the more commonly seen plush minnie ears. Though the best were really the wedding ears, hahahahaa 
I thought I gained a little bit of weight over the holidays so when I saw this Apple Vinegar Diet drink [ミツカン さらっと黒酢ダイエット] at the market I figured I’d get it. You know I love gimmicks! Ha! I remember seeing it a lot in Popteen this summer. Well I got on Wii Fit and it said I didn’t actually gain anything (le shock) but I drank a bit in a hot bath that night anyway…
It’s actually not THAT bad. You’re not supposed to gulp down half a carton anyway. Just a small glass (it’s a straight drink ready to drink, no dilution needed.) And the next day, I swear to you, I weighed in the lowest I’ve ever weighed in on Wii Fit. Did it work? I dunno but I was a pound and and half lighter the next day. I say, if you like gimmicks (see cellulite roller & Calorie Off socks!) then I say go for it. Either way it’s a 0kcal “detoxing” drink.
Also picked up a new box of bath salts at the market! I was excited because I had gotten the green box of this brand while in Japan. They’re pretty good bath salts. Very fragrant!
CosmelandUSA has a really good description of this particular set!
Kracie Tabino Yado Bath Salt Clear Assorted Pack contains 5 famous hot spring bath from Japan~
1. Beppu, located in Ooita, it helps to comfort you with a slight tree scent to blend in yourself with mother nature.
The bath color is light green.
2. Shirahama, located in Wakayama, it helps to refresh you with a slight floral scent to blend in yourself with flower garden.
The bath color is light blue.
3. Hakone, located in Kanagawa, it helps to refresh you with a slight green scent to blend in yourself with grassland.
The bath color is pale bamboo green.
4. Kusatsu, located in Gunma, it helps to relax you with a slight yuzu (citron) scent to blend in yourself with sweet and sour feeling.
The bath color is lemon like yellow.
5. Noboribetsu, located in Hokkaido, it helps to relax you with a slight rape blossoms scent to blend in yourself with rape blossoms garden.
The bath color is rape blossoms.
I googled rape blossom, it’s some yellow flower. 
Is there a better English translation of such a name!? Dear lord, a bit… unsettling! 
hahahahaha

Weekend Shopping

Thank you everyone who entered the giveaway!! You guys really make it a lot of fun! The winner has been contacted. If for any reason they can’t claim the prize I’ll do another random selection.
So I hope everyone’s weekend went well. Busy holiday week coming up, ね！？ Friday so many people were already on vacation so the trains were empty! We went out and did a little bit of shopping before full on Christmas shopping kicks into high gear.
Went to Tyson’s Saturday morning. They finally opened the new conveyor belt sushi place. It’s in the most awkward area IMO, hahaaaahahaaaaa. 
But I do like the vivid blue tables! The signs sorta made it look like it would be a fancier place but it’s pretty… boring, aesthetically? Oh well~ It’s 1: mall food, 2: conveyor belt sushi (which is as casual as it gets.)
Dress: Colza Cardigan: Cher Tights: Target Boots: Calvin Klein Purse: Victoria’s Secret Heart Necklace: Aldo
I got the latest Urban Outfitters catalog this week and noticed two things. 1: They’re not so hard to be all… hipster, or whatever and many of their coordinates looked wearable (finally!) like they USED TOO. 2: WTF THESE PRICES! It’s about time! Their prices had dropped significantly. Looks like targeting rich teens with mommy’s credit card wasn’t workin’ for them anymore?! Ok, Ok, harsh, but still. Their prices had gotten ridiculously inflated! Now they were looking… a bit normal! So I went to check them out and sure enough I found stuff there that was cheaper than things I saw at Old Navy that day. BOUT TIME, BOUT TIME. And anything that still had an overpriced tag had been marked down near 50%. I was wanting to get some reconstructed shorts but they were all too big. I did find a super cute Mickey shirt! I loved that it had longer short sleeves with stripes on it 
So of course I didn’t get them.
Tried on a Barefoot Dreams hoody at Nordstrom’s. They don’t carry Rinka’s line, but I found some online places that do. So I went to try these ones on for sizing! Gosh, soooooooo soft! Mike braved the evil sales lady so I could try it on. She was such a lurker! Asking me if I needed help and giving me her opinions on it AS IF I CARED, GEEZ. I know, they’re just trying to make the sale but I already said they didn’t have the color I wanted. So I made her watch me take this photo of me wearing it, LOL.
Later that night we did our Thanksgiving dinner shopping. The grocery store didn’t have any pumpkin pie mix! So Mike suggested the Super K-Mart might have it and it was right next door. Well, they didn’t, but they did have room wear on sale! I got this Joe Boxer flannel romper for $7.00! It’s got ruffles, and snaps, and is really cute! I’ve always loved Joe Boxer. When I was in High School they made cool boy-style girls underwear (I was a total tomboy) that I’d wear. They were more expensive then though *cough.* So I don’t care if they’re some K-Mart line now! They still come out with great stuff that often goes on 50% sales, so whatevssssssssss!
I tried that new Starbucks Caramel Brulee Latte this morning. It’s pretty good. I got a short, nonfat, no whip (so only 160kcal instead of 260kcal.) Last Thursday Mike bought us some of the cold drink Starbucks cups with the holiday straw. It’s so cute!! It keeps drinks cold for a while so I put soda in it, LOL. He always gets an iced Americano so he takes his to the cafe for filling. Useful :good:
I love my house in winter, I think it’s a winter house~ it always looks prettiest lit of with warm candles and cluttered with fuzzy slippers and blankets.
Oh, Wii Fit Update! I’m still loving it! I’ve actually lost another 2lbs on it I’m just looking to maintain my current weight but I guess it really does burn that fat! HAHAHAAA. I’ve been using my Calorie Off socks with it too, just to use them. Maybe they’re to blame? LOL DOUBT IT. Mike’s lost a few pounds too. Who knew it actually worked, YAY
CALORIE OFF SOCKS + WII FIT!
OK, I’m off to get ready for bed and watch Dexter!
Tomorrow’s Mike’s birthday too! So, celebrations all week!!
