Okay I’m gonna ramble about my hair here first~

I’ve been planning to cut it into a long bob for a few months now. I don’t know. When I thought about Christmas and the New Year I just had this image in my head of me in a bob! :P I get these weird ideas then just go gun-ho obsessed with em XD. As if they’re “my destiny” **_*sparkle sparkle:twinklepink:* haha! Really decided to do it after loving this W♥C staffer’s bob so much! But my real hair muse is Yukako! (among my muse for other things, mentioned her earlier when talking about Used Mix magazine.)

So I went through Rasysa and found the haircut below. Only I asked for longer more oval bangs instead of what was pictured. :skipping: I sorta styled it like this on Saturday just not as fluffy. ;)

Bright window in my closet sorta blew-out my face color, LOL :gigglewakuface:. My stylist convinced me to get a body perm too *le gasp* My first perm!! :blushingcute: It’s been interesting. :kissyheart: But I can really tell the difference already. My hair really does feel thicker and has more shape & body with much, much less effort. :ohyeslovely:Mine should last bout 3 months. She said my hair is so soft that, though the perm usually lasts 4 months, it’s more likely mine will only last 3. She used a less intense formula too so it’ll be less damaging *I researched it afterwards hahaa~* she said if I liked it we can do it tighter for a stronger shape. We’ll see~~ :upheart:

I’m gonna go get a trim come end of January. Probably get it a bit shorter than this actually :) . But same shape. :updiamond:

I was so tired of my long hair. :crap: When I’d look in the mirror I just wanted it gone! :?: When I first got it cut & saw myself it was like this *a-ha moment* of “THERE I AM! NOW THAT’S ME!” My inner-self wanted short hair again I guess. :P

So there! That’s everything I’ve been thinking about my hair but just didn’t bother saying lately :p.

In other news, I finished my Christmas shopping last night! Now to wait for things to arrive & wrap ‘em. :bow: Got some new wrapping paper this year. Peanuts & owls! Surprise~ surprise right. :rejected:

Also got some holiday earrings! :sqxmastree: They were free with this coupon I had! Yes, I’m coupon queen lately idek! :;_;: They’re really pretty and I’ve worn them to work every day this week :) They catch the light really well but aren’t too heavy so they’re comfortable. And also the pink moccasins! Got them on saaale~ :biglove:

I haven’t really talked about the New Year but I’m planning on a sorta “spending freeze” come January, :crap:so, um, yeah… :;_;: I’ve been buying a bunch of little things lately in anticipation I guess! :facepalmcry: But I’ll go into that whole spiel later (it’s boring anyhow~)

Oh, I received the January issue of Vivi today. I bought it off ebay from this seller. Apparently they’re also owners of FOBavenue.com or something because the magazine had ads and a sticker on it with that url. :dizzy: Anyway, they shipped it in a really thin envelope not meant for heavy magazines and it had fallen out during shipping! :facepalmcry: This is how it arrived:

The magazine itself is bent and scratched and looks a bit beat up now! :ng: It doesn’t look brand new at all. But it has the look of a magazine that has been sitting in a doctor office waiting room! Like it’s been flipped through a million times! I’ll blame that on the shipping snafu and give them the benefit of the doubt that it was shipped in new condition. UGH! :crap: :crap: For $24 this is not what I was expecting. I’m used to magazines shipped properly in thicker card stock envelopes actually meant for media mail. Anyway. I don NOT recommend them for purchasing magazines. Thankfully the market near me seems to be getting in Vivi now so I don’t care. :smallcry: I can get it cheaper at the market so won’t have to resort to ebay when I feel like buying an issue again.

Guten Abend~~ :moon: :)
It feels so strange when I go offline. :;_;: Like my world stops. :facepalmcry: Well, not that dramatic, but you know, I feel like there’s this gap in time I miss out on. That sounds pathetic, let’s carry on…

So 4 turkey dinners later here I am. :smallcry: Settling back into work and still unpacking. :madmark: Hit up Florida then Mississippi. Postcards all sent! :bigheart:
Did some shopping including finally snagging a GPS with traffic updates. My current one is about, hum, 4 years old, if not 5! :smallcry: And it didn’t do traffic which is just… tragic with living in DC. :dizzy: So YAY LIFETIME TRAFFIC NOW! :rainbowtwinkle: It’s all spiffy and new and I got to play with it driving back from Mississippi :kyaaface:

SO SHOPPING! :rose2: I stopped by the Victoria’s Secret Outlet store while there! Then later on my trip I went to VS again for a sale… THEN AGAIN for another sale!

I’m officially unhinged in my addiction to their fragrance line… :rubeyes:
I blame Japan, the magazines, and my friend for causing this “sickness”
I want to smell like flowers & fruits when I walk by~
Momo commented previously that I seem like I “would be one of those girls that smells REALLY good XD” Haaaahahaha omg BEST COMPLIMENT because I really WANT to be THAT girl!!! :rose2:
I have been told I smell good.. it’s an unexpected/weird compliment than I’m never prepared for though. :;_;:
I just.. when girls pass me on the train & the scent of sweet perfume follows close behind them I feel so envious! :supercry: I want/hope to be like that too! (not in an obnoxious way though, lulz, not over-powering, no, no) :iiface:

I actually really already love their SO SEXY hair product lines especially for volume.

Lost in Fantasy is my new favorite scent!!! First ever favorite scent was Love Spell, then Delicate Petals, and now Lost in Fantasy! It’s sweet passionfruit, wild Brazilian orchid and warm musk! :bow:

A flier advertising their Fashion Show that airs tomorrow! (Tuesday)

:kissyheart:I bought the same Limited Edition Holiday Scent (Naughty & Nice) too because this one’s a gift for a friend :good:

The lotion in the Naughty & Nice scent is so pretty! It’s a glitter lotion but instead of the typical silver it has the sort of red, incandescent glitter.

Betsey Johnson! Went to this outlet too and got some cute socks :rose3: :star:

I also picked up a few new accessories. :kissyfaceheart: most are from Forever21 except the multi-colored metal necklace + earring set! I got those on sale at a boutique in Sarasota called Persnickity Cat. I almost always go there for gifts & cards. It’s an entire cat-themed shopped plus more~ *calling all crazy cat ladies!* There’s a big ole kitty there named Harry who hangs around and you can pet him and there’s a drawing table where kids draw him and post their art on the wall. IT’S. SO. CUTE! He was even hanging out there when I went, waiting for kids to come & draw him *d’aaaaaaw*

Mike had his birthday over Thanksgiving too so we found a bunch of “presents” at the Calvin Klein outlet store. But it wasn’t only Mike’s birthday~ it was our 10 year “dating” anniversary! :ladeeda: But after you get married the dating number seems less significant. Well, I guess it’s more of a “togetherness” number. No breaking up & making up, just 10 straight years of putting up with each others bullshit :D

Also did some online shopping on Black Friday and ordered something for Mike’s Xmas gift from Sephora and got this big-ass tote bag that looks like a Sephora shopping bag!! OK, I know, it’s stupid & boring :;_;: but there’s something I got all grabby-hands about having a permanent Sephora Shopping Bag to use! And I freaking love it! I used a hairdryer to get the creases out of it (thanks to everyone who helped me on twitter with that!)

Also, also, I got in a Yesstyle Sweater right before I left on my trip! Perfect timing! :blushingcute: It’s a open-knit type sweater so it’s med-light and was great for “southern” winter weather. :ohyeslovely: It’s incredibly soft and I just… I dunno, I LOVE IT. :twinklepink: I want to live in it nonstop! :supercry:

:mooon: Sweater: Yesstyle
:mooon: Pants: H&M
:mooon: Red Camisole: Forever21
:mooon: Boots: Shimamura
:mooon: Necklace: Forever21

:laughingheart: Oh yeah, I chopped off like 6 inches worth of hair this week too! :orooro: Haahaa~ :kissyheart: more on that later~~~~
