Bob Hair and Pink Moccasins
Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010 | 103 Comments
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! 
I get these weird ideas then just go gun-ho obsessed with em 
. As if they’re “my destiny” **_*sparkle sparkle
* 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. 
I sorta styled it like this on Saturday just not as fluffy.
Bright window in my closet sorta blew-out my face color, LOL 
. My stylist convinced me to get a body perm too *le gasp* My first perm!! 
It’s been interesting. 
But I can really tell the difference already. My hair really does feel thicker and has more shape & body with much, much less effort. 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~~
I’m gonna go get a trim come end of January. Probably get it a bit shorter than this actually . But same shape.
I was so tired of my long hair. 
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.
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. Got some new wrapping paper this year. Peanuts & owls! Surprise~ surprise right. 
Also got some holiday earrings! 
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~
I haven’t really talked about the New Year but I’m planning on a sorta “spending freeze” come January, so, um, yeah… I’ve been buying a bunch of little things lately in anticipation I guess! 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. 
Anyway, they shipped it in a really thin envelope not meant for heavy magazines and it had fallen out during shipping! This is how it arrived:
The magazine itself is bent and scratched and looks a bit beat up now! 
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! 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. I can get it cheaper at the market so won’t have to resort to ebay when I feel like buying an issue again.
Alright, I’m off to watch TV! Then bed~

Recent Purchases
Monday, Oct. 18, 2010 | 71 Comments
SURPRISE! 2-days in a row, what!? I wanted to share some recent purchases~ Actually went out Friday night and bought some things from Forever 21. It’s sorta strange since I’m not in the “saving for Japan” mode anymore. Though I do need to get back into “savings” mode eventually 
since I’m sure there’s some place I’ll want to travel or something expensive I’ll want to buy? 
Forever 21 gets including some thick ribbed knit black leggings!
Quick dry nail polish in black! FINALLY! I already have black nail polish… but I NEVER use it because it takes too long to dry *end confession* :F I even bought those “quick dry drops” from Sephora but they don’t really work too well so I’m just buying quick dry polishes at the moment… maybe FOREVER, I dunno.
Also bought a drugstore brand *gasp* dark eye palette. I felt like a total snob because I needed to replace my old gray palette which was drugstore brand too (but they don’t make it anymore) so I figured I’d buy another brand while at Target but honestly I haven’t bought drugstore brand eyeshadow in… a few years… What have you done to me Sephora!!?? *brainwashed* I got paranoid thinking whatever I picked would be super shitty and lack ALL pigment. Thankfully I was wrong, :haha: this Rimmel palette for $2.50 (holy crap only $2.50!!) is pretty damn decent! Not richly pigmented but it’s kinda nice because I wanted it for subtle smokey eyes anyway.
Pardon the shortness, middle finger & thumb nails both tore last week. I haven’t been taking my vitamins so my nails are flaking again. Usually I take extra vitamin A and it keeps them strong :good:
New shoes! Black heeled oxfords~ I wore them to work today to break them in. I’ve tried on so, so, soooooo many oxford shoes since the beginning of the summer and I usually hated how they looked but these actually looked pretty cute on! I think it’s the heel. I was really trying to get some flat ones because everything I have is heeled but I think I look really ugly to myself when I try on flats so I never end up buying any.
On the subject of new shoes… some “shoe accessories” hahaha! These below are some of the padding I buy for my shoes. The two on the left are my current favorites and I’ve bought at least 3 of each! The Tri-Comfort insoles are FANTASTIC for boots! I have them even in my WC boots. These already give you like a half inch boost in height so in my WC boots that have like a 3 inch heel I’m insanely tall! Mike doesn’t like it, LOL.
The middle set is great for heels that slip and rub the back of your ankles. I really love these because most of my heels are a tad loose and these keep them from just slipping off as I walk.
The far right ones are “ball of foot” pads. These are heart shaped instead of the usual ovals. Not sure I like them… 
I just bought these to try instead of the ones I already have. I dunno, I think I’d pass on these, the heart shape sucked me in but it’s almost too much padding to be honest.
[貼れるくつ用どんと] These are heated foot pads
New eyelash curler! Sephora brand and 100% PINK! It’s a limited edition for Breast Cancer Awareness. My old eyelash curler had kicked the bucket after years of wear & tear so this was long overdue. Though so far I’m not too impressed by Sephora’s … it’s just OK, not spectacular. But at least it’s metallic pink.
Also from Sephora I picked up a treat for myself for Halloween! It’s Philosophy’s “Bobbing for Apples A set that contains Green Apple, Red Apple, and Caramel Apple Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Baths.” Everything from this line was so expensive! So I just got the biggest thing anyway because it’s what I wanted and the 2 lip gloss set cost almost AS MUCH so screw it.
On the subject of Mike, I thought I’d post this snap of HIS Japanese “beauty” gets. SEE IT’S NOT JUST ME!! He prefers Japanese hair products over the US ones. Can’t blame him. His current favorite was WATER WAX but mostly because of the Donki store remaking that 80’s song over with just the words “Water Wax” sang over & over. The song escapes me at the moment~~
And no, I don’t live with some super organized god, I took this photo after I cleaned up after his mess
In other news 
I got the Purple Embroidered Back Kumatan sweater from Tori’s sell-off! It’s just in time for autumn! It hangs off 1 shoulder and is very soft and thin too so not too hot. Kumatan is on the BACK but once winter comes and I have to cover him up with a coat I think I’ll turn him around, LOOOOL! What!? The sweater is cut the same so it fits both ways. And the seams for the very tiny tag is hardly noticeable, bwahahahahaaa!
Also picked up Just Dance 2 and Kirby’s Epic Yarn this week! BOTH GREAT! Just Dance 2 is easily better than the first and I especially love the “Just Sweat” mode. The songs are eh but at least there’s more plus they have just song tunes for mostly for just “sweating” to. Not sure I get their calorie counting. Does 1,000 really mean 1,000 calories burned because that’s impossible.
So I need to play it & mess around with it a bit more. There’s bonus Just Dance routines too in the “contest winners” section & the America winner’s routine is crazy fun!!!
Kirby is Kirby. If you’ve played the old Kirby’s & you love him this is no different AND LONG LIVE SIDE-SCROLLING! 
I’ll talk more about these later after having played longer~~~
Oh, and these were the tights I wore in yesterday’s post! Thought it might help to see them NOT worn to get the subtle pink color
Alright, this was too long & I’m not proofreading so… sorry?
