The Soundtrack of Today

The above images sums up my attempt at studying today. Lets just say nothing really happened hihi.

An early start tomorrow. Have some boring errands in the morning and then the day to myself! Intend to study a little and then spend the rest discussing makeup, skin care etc with my housemate/BFF Katy. Although with that in mind, all my good study intentions have just evaporated. :)

Have had a lazy Sunday of baking and going onto Facebook. In talks of seeing a movie on Tuesday, but so far no clue on what to see!

Although this song is about love lost, it's just so chill and soothing that it's been on repeat all day.

And to finish off my post and happy evening wishes, I leave you with a photo I took of my little boy, Tamaki, today when I started to clean my room.

'Me? It was like this when I got here hihi'

Happy dreams!

Hello and goodnight. Just a small post before going off to bed. No photo of me today; I slept in and went out in my track pants and a wooly jumper. Can't say that makes for a good anything-of-the-day hihi. Going to try and film a video tomorrow using my own standard camera. I cannot guarantee the quality, but I will still try and pretty it up a little.

Also have a link to my current favourite song. It is on repeat in my house and is driving everyone crazy! I'm starting to like these girls more than SNSD! They are so adorable and cute.

The best thing about these girls is that they dance more simple than SNSD, so it's easier to copy and dance along to the video!

I'm away to bed early tonight, so that I can awake tomorrow morning bright and fresh. It's become a bad habit to stay awake until 3am and sleep the day away. I'm starting to look like a sad, tired panda bear!

Best wishes and happy dreaming.

FOTD and Hello!

Brr! Winter and is here and biting!

All moved in and settled here.......right at the start of winter. And we live higher up, so it's about 5 degrees colder than it was in our previous house. Team that with a higher cost of power and it's freaking cold!

I'm also excited to report that I actually put in a ton more effort into doing my bottom lashes and they look pretty good. But it's typical that the only close up photo I have is almost blurry, my brows haven't been done and my hair isn't styled. Lesson learnt for next time.

My top lashes are criss cross 'cat eye' types (the only lashes I have left in my collection atm) but I'm in the process of ordering a few more boxes. Did I recently mention I (heart) ebay for cheap lashes?

All quite on the home front, I must say. I'm still an unemployed moocher but also received awesome news the other day. A few months ago, I stumbled upon an advert for a magazine that, every issue, gives you a recipe magazine and pieces of Hello Kitty dinnerware. Upon entering the site, I was saddened to notice that it was UK only. But I went into my local newsagency a couple days ago and.................THEY HAD IT! It was issue #2, so I'm not too terribly out of the loop. My newest obsession? Kitty dinnerware! I'm also looking to invest in kitty appliances and pans. My boring old kitchen must be transformed into a kitty haven!

Until next time!

New Project

Just a quick shout out before I go to bed. I've been thinking about this for quite a long time and it's only in the last few weeks that I have been seriously considering it.

In about 4 months I intend to open my own online store, which will stock all sorts of girly things, such as candles, phone charms, photo frames, books, tea cups, makeup brushes, cushions etc. Just the things that we girls like to have.

I'm still at a loss for names and the total cost. But it will mean that most of my blogging will be floating around ideas for the store.

Well guys that is all for now. I will be making an easter bento tomorrow morning and be doing my photo room tour. Also still in the brainstorm stages of a new tutorial using my MAC Magenta Madness pigment.

Watch this space!

Quick Update-aroony

Hey guys, back again. Moving has been really stressful and tiring, so blogging about how many boxes that I unpack each day is hardly riveting. FYI, I've unpacked no boxes today and 4 yesterday lol.

It's the day before the Easter weekend and also shopping day. I haven't taken any photos of my room as it's still unorganised and there is a far amount of crap in the wardrobe. Still waiting on a few things in the mail but I will be filming a collective haul when it all arrives. I'm hoping that the lighting will still be reasonable when I film videos, as I have a few reviews and tutorials in the works.

Well, I'm off to do some food shopping :( but if I find the energy to tidy my room later I'll blog the photos!

Second Night!

Evening everyone! Just cooked dinner for the first time in the new kitchen and so far it's pretty nice. About half of this house is unpacked and it's starting to feel more homely. My room is pretty much done; managed to keep all of my furniture in there and put up a few new posters. I'll take a few pictures when it's all done!

We also have a Kmart that is really close,so I'm looking to overhaul some of my storage and add a few cute things. Living up here gives me major access to everything; fashion, household etc. In a couple of weeks I'm going shopping for winter clothes. As we now live higher up, its a quite a few degrees colder.

Tomorrow is going to be spent cleaning and packing up the rest of the old house. I also got my UV gel curing lamp, so now it is just a case of waiting for the last materials and then onto the nail porn!

Well I'm off for now guys. I'm making a bento for tomorrow's lunch, so I'll take a few photos in the morning if have a few spare minutes.

Night all!

Soooo............WE GOT THE HOUSE! We submitted the paperwork this morning and it was approved this afternoon. Have spent all day packing and doing house errands. Having only 3 days to pack up the whole house and sort out the important things for the new house is tiring, but I'm going to have an early night tonight.

Picked up a new hair dye today in 'Natural Baby Blonde' which is about 4 shades lighter than my current colour. Hoping I don't look 5 years old after it's rinsed out.

Wish me luck!
