Quick Question Everyone.

Anyone be up for a swap?

Like make up a box of little things and we'll send them to each other. You must love opening presents as much as I do.

This is just a suggestion. Want to see if anyone is interested before I go ahead and start collecting things together.

Wouldn't be anything too big. But you can put things in it like make up, accessories, food, stickers, personal letter, things like that~

Leave a comment and tell me what you think. :)

The Joys of Being A University Student :)

So the accomodation isn't very nice, there are parties all the time, even through the night. The course is hard, you've got no money. Being a student is fun, only thing that could make it better is more money lol.

My mum sent me a package last week, and i loved it. It's really cold up north so my mum gave me these:

Hot Chocolate sachets ^o^ YAY!! my mum is awesome lol

What I've been up to lately..

Hey everyone, I sincerely apologise for the lack of updates over the past couple months.

I'm now at University, I thought I'd have enough time to blog once a day or something, but my course is EXTREMELY intense. x_x

Japanese Studies lol That's my main degree, but this semester I'm doing modules in Japanese Politics and Chinese Economic Development.

Mid Terms are next week, so i'm studying like crazy hehe Hopefully in the future, like next semester or in 2nd year i'll do a few blogs now and again in Japanese. For the practice and something different now and again haha.

Here are some pics from Halloween:

Vampire for the JSOC party :)

Zombie for ScaryTarts

Circle lenses certainly come in handy for Halloween :)

Losing Weight yay!

I've dropped a dress size already since i've started University.

Fresher's week had a big impact on this, not sleeping, not eating, hungover most of the time lol. Also where my Uni is, there are a lot and i mean A LOT of steep hills. The union and my classes are like almost 2 miles from my accomodation. This is good, cause I'm like guaranteed to walk at least 4 miles a day.

Back at home everything was flat and I had a car, so I was lazier than I am at the moment. I need to get the whole healthy eating thing perfected then I'm sorted. I need to eat more fruit and veg lol. I've got like 1 apple left, so i should really buy some more tomorrow when I go past Eurospar ^o^

Tonight, and What To Expect Today

~~~ヾ(＾∇＾)おはよー♪

Tonight is my leaving party at work because I leave not this monday coming but the monday after. Leaving for University woo! ☆

Unfortunately this means I lose my job too :( I'll have to cut down on buying stuff. Speaking of spending money, I need something to wear tonight. :/ I wanted to go have a look in Matalan, but my brother's using my car today. I'll have to have a search through my clothes and find some accessories.

As for what to expect from me today and tomorrow. I have in the works: A nail tutorial, a circle lenses review, a post about make up. I'll probably think of a few more over the next few hours. I want to make up for not posting so much. I went out for an early birthday party for me, with a few of my friends. We went to my favourite resturant, Pompoko. ♪ I mentioned it a few posts back. I took photos, so i'll post them ^^ ♪

LizLisa - Tralala is Cute!!

I simply cannot wait until I'm in Japan. I'm goint to end up spending soo much money, especially on clothes (If i can be down to a decent size by then)

I am completely in love with LizLisa's Tralala brand. It's just unbelievably ADORABLE! ^o^
This t-shirt is soo cute ^^ It's got like a gradient colour on it, changes from green around the bottom, up to pink around the shoulders and neck. I also want that usamimi~ I saw some in Camden market a few weeks ago, but unfortunately I didn't get them. There wasn't a mirror about ToT

I've always wanted a pair of dungarees, especially the 'shorts' ones~ They'd probably look really weird on me with my milkbottle white legs hehe. More so if it was a pair like the ones in the above photo. Very pale denim. The t-shirt is pretty cute, I've seen necklaces like that everywhere, especially in Asda. They have a bigger range of jewellery now ^o^ which is awesome!

I want pink shoes lol.

~* Pomeranian Puppies *~ Sooo Cute!!

I really want to get one of these dogs! (Uo･ｪ･oU)

They are sooo cute! *~



Time to go back to watching NHK 【　TV　】　　　　(￣　*)

Vlogs

( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/ｺﾝﾊﾞﾝﾊ!!

I've been making vlogs for my friend in America, dru. I haven't seen her in 3 years now and it's our way of keeping our friendship solid ^^ Plus it's nice to see how she is and what she's doing with her life. ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

I've done two vlogs for her so far, but from the next one onwards I'm going to do them in broader terms and post them here on the blog.

My next vlog will be showing around my flat at University, so once i've fully moved in i'll film. :--☆--:

I'll be customising things so i'll show you those and perhaps make a few tutorials ^o^

New Layout and Header

So, here's the final layout and header I came up with after a few hours of pondering earlier.

Do you like the header? I thought it was better for a gyaru blog~

I added one of those clocks on the side as well as a flag counter. It's nice to see where my visitors are from ^^

x

Revamp =]

After reading one of Chaudie's posts the other day I realised that my blog needed a bit of a make over. I need better reading material on it, better posts too lol

Over the next few weeks I will change the layout and make a better header, add some widgets and awesome stuff. I kinda like the gyaru clock i've seen about the place, so i might add that in.

My posts will be better! I'm going to do some tutorials and reviews with better detail. I'll probably do a weekly gyaru photo post too~

If there's anything else you think I should be posting more of, or something i should do to the blog then please let me know~ x

Lack of energy, sorry..

I know i've been lacking in the blogging department recently and I'm sorry. I've actually got a few planned out but I haven't had any energy at all T-T I'm soo sleepy, like all the time. That and I've been getting the last little bits for University sorted out~ I just want to get there now lol

Booked a Travel Lodge for our stay there before I move in. 2 rooms with breakfast = £100. We were actually considering staying at the Hilton. But I was paying... so Yeah.

I've got soo much stuff to organise and pack over these next 3 1/2 weeks. My room looks like a bomb hit it at the moment :/ Got suitcases, boxes, new duvet, new pillows etc. That and I'm just generally untidy lol.

I get paid on Wednesday, where I will order some green circle lenses, maybe some new lashes soon~ I've got soo much to learn when it comes to Gyaru make up. I don't even know how to contour my face T-T and eyeliner goes weird when I do it :/ I'll have to practice.

Here's a ladybug on my Univesity booklets. cute ^o^

Really excited ^o^

I just bought a load of stuff from Artbox.co.uk i am in LOVE with this site. It's soo cute ^o^ .

The stuff I got is all for University, there's more I need to get, but that'll have to sit in my wishlist and wait until I get paid.

I'm unsure whether to get the Hello Kitty playing cards, don't know if i'll use them much lol.

I will post photos when the package arrives ^o^

Here, have a random photo of moi~ was from when I went to see Eclipse~

Taking my brother to get his A Level results tomorrow~

Not long now...

I've only got about 4 weeks left at work, and 5 weeks left at home before I move away for University. I'm really excited, but also sad about leaving soo many people behind. I've made good friends on my gap year, loads that'll be at my University. I'll miss my family and the people I work with the most. I've made good friends at work having been there for almost 3 years now, all my overtime meant I saw most people there every day I was in.

Almost got everything sorted. All I need now is the little things, eg Pots and Pans. I have my flat, my move in date and time... makes it all seem soo real all of a sudden. I'm looking forward to the freedom, especially getting more into Gal style. I can weat what I want and do make up in the way I want to without having people judge or ask me why. Plus I'll have more time to learn, and to do my hair etc lol

I want to decorate my room with some Gyaru-ish things. I might have to go to China Town before I leave on Sept 17th. My gloomy bear broke, so I need to get a new one hehe

Anyways, here's a recent picture of me in one of my favourite dresses.

Picture from Yesterday~

I found a website with a list of stereotypical Asian poses here . I tried some of them out to see what they looked like and ended up with these. Sorry, they are in Black and White cause I used my laptop webcam and the picture isn't too good in colour on it lol Both photos were taken before full make up..... I have a habit of doing that lol. Next time there will be full makeup!

The salut pose.

Crying pose. :D

The trouble with me and Gal

I'm finding it hard to try and stay Gal, if you know what I mean. It's difficult to get it right in the first place, then there's the whole keeping it going and up to date. With things like work and stuff it's near impossible to do.

Another issue is also weight, I'm not exactly skinny and sometimes it's hard to find cute clothes that suit my figure, I know there are other Gals out there that aren't your typical skinny, and my hat goes off to them cause I just can't seem to keep it up. These girls are an inspiration. I won't deny that I want to be skinny, but in order to work it off i need time... Which i don't have at the moment. I'm working like crazy. Another reason why I can't keep up the Gal style very well.

I've pretty much stopped doing my own nails recently, they just get damaged and chipped as soon as I get to work. I still like to curl my hair for work sometimes, just like i did yesterday. And add bows, usamimis etc. But it's still not quite enough. I need to properly learn how to do some of the Gal make that other gaijin gals do~ I don't wear my circle lenses really, I think thats mainly because i got the black ones because Tokyo Toys didn't have the colour I wanted in stock. But also, my shifts are longer than the recommended wearing time. I'm going to try wearing them at work today, maybe give myself a lil gal makeover so I can learn some make tricks.

Shopping is a problem too~ Well didn't seem like it while I was in London haha. Nevertheless, I have trouble trying to pick the right sort of stuff. I'm not good with coordinating, I used to be but now i've just lost the ability thanks to wearing
the same colour everyday for my uniform at work haha. I need to study a few magazines. Might get the ViVi's out :D

I want to get a straw hat, one of those flat ones that are seen on many gal models. I had a look in London while I was there, but I had no luck in finding one.

I need more inspiration and more drive to boost up my Gal stuff =(

Hallo~ Less than 2 months to go~

Helloooo!!

Hows people today? I just realised that it's less than 2 months until my 20th Birthday!

I want to do something fancy, but I can't afford much lol being as I'm in preperation mode for University =D I move on the 18th September, but i'll be leaving the day before as it's soo far away.

I haven't really done much today to be honest. Went shopping with mum to get some duvet covers for my uni room, and some new headphones cause my cheapy green ones are falling apart. I've still got stuff to do though. Mainly my nails haha, I'm not sure what I'll do. But it'll be simple cause I'm lazy. I'll post a photo when I'm done ^o^

Lu x

I'm still here~

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been working pretty non-stop to earn money for University in September.

I have a few entries planned out and when I get a chance I'll take some photos of my new buys and do some reviews or something ~

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun!

Nails for this weekend - Idea

Right, so i'm going out this weekend for a few friends birthdays and figured I should theme my nails around the top I'm going to wear. This is the top I bought Click Here .

I'm going to paint my nails white I think and have a big butterfly on my middle fingers and smaller ones on the other nails, with some flowers. I'll hopefully do them in those colours, if i have them haha. I will post up a photo when I've done them. oooo, haha I love it when I base my nails on some clothing or accessory I have. It lets me be more creative rather than looking at other peoples designs and adapting them.

I've got a mini review coming up soon on some new 17 eyeshadow that I bought the other week. I'm completely in love with the colours at the moment haha.

I should go back to my Japanese homework. Might post again later ^o^
